The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A baby play station (activity center or play mat) provides a safe and stimulating area for awake time. It's usually appropriate from around 3-4 months once head control is solid. What's important is keeping time spent there short — two 10-15 minute sessions a day is plenty. While your baby isn't rolling or crawling yet, a play mat on their back (for watching and reaching) is more helpful than sitting in a center. For older babies (6+ months), sitting-based stations work for supported play and hand-eye coordination. The pediatric view favors designs that let baby move freely and explore by touching, not just watching.
