Abstract
An infant exerciser adapted for use in a substantially stationary location has a frame or base and an inboard or outboard infant seat attached to the frame or base such that the seat can be revolved in an orbital manner. The seat can also rotate about its own axis of rotation, whereby an infant who is in the seat can walk along a circular path and/or turn in place.
