VTech - Bouncing Colors Turtle

You would have to double the recommended weight limit to make the turtle bounce we're taking this back and getting the Fisher Price Zebra. The toy also does not spin as the box indicates without considerable force. Nice music though.

My neighbor has the Fisher Price item, but I thought it was too expensive so I bought this one. Since my daughter played with both I can compare:

Pros:

Price

Fun, songs and educational aspects

Cons:

Base the FP has a stronger and wider base so it is more stable. At some point my daughter was bouncing back and forth and the thing almost tilted.

Bounce the FP has more bounce than this one. This one still bounces but it is a little bit harder (maybe because it is new)

It is not a total waste of money but if you can afford the FP item I would advise people to do so. My daughter enjoys it, but she likes the FP item better.

Edit: I sold the item after a month, didn't really work and my daughter didn't enjoy after all...

My son received this as a christmas gift and he cannot make it bounce. He weighs 30 pounds and should easily make this work, but we have to bounce him on it.

We received this a year ago so we've had a decent amount of time to use it. It's okay. The bounce isn't very bouncy, like other reviewers said but my daughter still seems to get a kick out of it. The interactive bits on the handles aren't anything I'd write home about, but again dear daughter isn't complaining. I did find it to be pretty sturdy though. She's not a crazy bouncer but the kid actually stood up on it once and that sucker didn't tip.

What scared the ever loving crap out of me was the fact that this thing starts giggling on its own when it's running out of batteries. There's nothing creepier than hearing that female giggle in the middle of the night when you're entire house is asleep. NOT COOL VTECH! As the battery ran down more it would giggle more and more and changed from being creepy to just annoying. You can only hear that friendly giggle so many times before you want to poke yourself in the eye just to have something else to think about. I kept turning it off but sweet pea daughter would turn it on and then walk away. So it was a constant "gotcha last" game of who could get the switch and leave it.

I know, I know. Just change the batteries! I did eventually and learned my lesson and there was no need to bring in psychics or priests.

I have a one year old and a two year old. They have both loved this toy. It is a little hard to get a good bounce on it. The two year old can do it but the one year old can't. It will sing little songs and it has games. You can turn the sounds off. Mostly this toy will get climbed on. It is almost impossible to tip this thing over. It is very steady. The face is very cute and my little girl loves to feed it. I would buy this one again in a heart-beat.
