There was a toy about 3 years ago that was meant for babies and toddlers 18 months and younger. It's large- a child could sit in the middle of it. I don't know how to describe it other than that it had lots of balls that the baby could put in it then they balls would follow a path and come bouncing out at them from another end. The balls weren't a choking hazard- just the right size for little hands. I remember Cha cha would sit in front of this thing and just feed it balls all morning and let them roll back out at him (this was at a mommy and me class).

I recently saw an updated version of this toy but can't for the life of me remember the name of it. I really think my twins would love it.

anyone know what I'm talking about?

Was it the busy ball popper?

Oh, I saw your quick response and was hoping you'd found a picture of it. but, no, that's not it. The toy I'm talking about is much bigger and a child learning to walk could actually sit in the middle and pull up to standing on this toy. It's that big. but thanks for trying. :)

We had that too! Was it Fisher Price... had a thing that moved up when they were walking so they could walk under it or you could put it down and plunk the kiddo in the center and let them play. Did it have a clear ball with little balls inside they could bat at too? Lemme see if I can find a pic of it!

This would be a newer genration of a similar toy no?

I can't find a pic of it anywhere.... I still have our little entertainment station out in the shed. If can get to it I will pull it out and take a picture! Too bad we don't live closer... I'd pass it on to you!

Yep, that's the new generation of it. What you describe above is exactly would I would love to have- but I've never seen one at a garage sale and am sure they are no longer manufactured. thank you for finding this one for me.

It doesn't look like it's made anymore, but maybe ebay?

We have this and the boys loved it!

Yep, that was it. The new generation toy just doesn't look as fun. Thanks for finding it.

Boy, I've never seen that second hand. One time I posted in CL in the baby section: "wanted, xyz toy" and I got 2 responses and ended up buying from one of them. I tried this again here, and was "reported" for inappropriate post (you're only supposed to post for sale items) and my post was removed. Bah-humbug.
