We have one of those plastic activity centers and as great as it is, it does have limitations. For one, even though it’s “portable” it is bulky when folded and not really travel friendly. And two, it isn’t easy to maneuver through doorways when you want to go from family room to treadmill room. That’s why I love the idea behind the PopATot, a truly portable (because it’s collapsible) activity center.

When folded up and stored in its case, the PopATot measures only 5”x 36”. When popped open, you have an activity center with a flexible, double-stitched padded seat, toy loops to easily attach and remove toys, cup holders for sippy or snack cups and a canvas cover with built-in removable, washable floor. The built-in floor means you can take the PopATot to the beach, camping, practically anywhere and you won’t have to worry about your baby’s feet.

And that brings me to the portability factor. The PopATot can easily fit through doorways, collapses super small to make traveling with it a breeze, and its canvas exterior is perfect for just about an indoor or outdoor activity, from keeping baby busy while you pop in the shower to enjoying a family picnic at the park.

With the PopATot you don’t have to worry about safety. The 27”x27”x24” base meets CPSC standards for stationary activity centers so it won’t tip easily, exceeds ASTM requirement for maximum weight (33 pounds), and has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. You can purchase the PopATot for $50 ($10 off the current price) plus free shipping through the end of the year at PopATot.com. - Emily H.
