The First Years 3-in-1 Kickin Coaster Seat


This kick chair is awesome! Kai loved it when he could use it. This toy has a seat with a foot board. When the baby kicks the food board the chair slides back and the board lights up and plays music. Up until Kai was about 18 months old, he had more strength in his legs than his arms and had no trunk or head control. So when we found this chair, I knew it would be perfect for him. It is very hard to work on leg strenth without trunk control. He used it all the way up until he was about 15 months old. The only problem I had in the beginning was getting the toy to light up and play music, as it wasn't sensitive enough. Kai just wasn't kicking very hard and couldn't set it off. I found a solution though. I tied a Fisher-Price Precious Planet Crib and Floor Piano to the front of the foot board. Then he would set it off all the time and would get so excited.
