Maclaren Junior Quest Activity Center Review and GIVEAWAY!

Growing up one of my favorite things to do was play with baby dolls.  I would pretend like I was their mom and and feed them and take care of them.  I've noticed lately that Harlan is starting to play a lot more with her baby dolls and stuffed animals.  She was even trying to feed her toy dog real dog food this past weekend.  One of her favorite things to do is let me hold her and she will try and push her stroller around the apartment.  It's not a very fun game for me to play and it makes me have to hide the strollers in her closet as soon as we get home. 

I was very excited when Maclaren, the fabulous stroller company, contacted me to be one of their Kid Testers of their Junior Quest Activity Center.  The set comes with a cute kiddie sized stroller, daytime rocker, night time cot with carrying case and travel bag. When the set arrived at our apartment I let Harlan take a look at the box to see what she was getting.  Her eyes widened as she looked at all of the fun things she was about to get to play with.  She just kept saying, "woah, woah, woah."

 She was even more excited when I opened the box and started to bring everything out for her to play with.  Her first find was the stroller (of course.)  She immediately went to her bedroom to get her baby and put it in the stroller and kept walking up and down the hallway. 

I showed her the rocker and the first thing she tried to do was put herself in it.  I had to immediately try and show her that this was a toy for her dolls and not for herself.  The set is recommended for children 3 and up, but she is still enjoying playing with it.  After a little convincing she put Foofa in the rocker for a ride and kept laughing at how funny it was. 

The little night time cot is so cute.  She tried to get in that one too.  But she got the hint pretty quickly that it was for play and not for her.  Foofa took a little nap in there.

 One thing that really surprised and impressed me about this set is how unbelievable easy it is to put together.  It took me only about 10 minutes to get everything together and I didn't have to look at the instructions.  Everything was pretty self explanatory.  A major plus!

Over the next couple weeks I will give you some insights on the activity center and how Harlan enjoys playing with it.  I am also very excited that Maclaren has given me an extra Junior Quest Activity Center to giveaway to one of my readers!
