The Station Agent is an extraordinary film for a number of reasons. The first is that it is stunningly simple in story and script and yet intriguingly complex in theme and emotional resonance. The second is that it has a strong social conscience without a hint of condescension. The third is that it is funny, touching, sweet, lyrical and beautifully paced, which is sadly not something we see every day. This tiny crystalline gem of a movie took the critics by storm and as far as I can see, they were entirely within reason to praise it to the skies.

Advantages: Easy to Assemble, Easy to Clean, Good Support, Holds Baby's Attention, Stable, Visually Stimulatin Disadvantages: non
My son loves it, he normally gets bored of things very quickly but this keeps him very busy for ages!!
It keeps him happy for ages. He's been jumping up and down on our laps for a while now, this was the perfect solution! Especially because I didn't want to get a walker. This is the perfect alternative.
Compared to other activity stations that I have seen, this has a lot of noises, lights and bits n bobs for my little one to explore. It is great value.
i think its a really good buy for new parents because you dont have to worry about the head support and you can just carry on with your daily routine.
its a great buy for all parents and also makes a good present for birthdays or christmas! ...
