Bright Starts Silly Sounds Safari Rattle

Bright Starts Silly Sounds Safari RattleMy baby loves this toy, but it has a super sensitive sound activation! If you have this on the floor and walk by it goes off. Nothing worse then having a sleeping baby and hearing jungle monkey noises. LOL!

Super sensitive sound sensor (say that three times fast...). I'm not sure if everyone would consider this a drawback, but anytime anything moves around this toy (child, adult, pet, air), the music/silly sounds go off. And it's not horribly loud, but the music/sounds carry.

Recently on a trip to Washington DC over Memorial Day (heavy traffic in DC that weekend), we received this rattle from a relative as a gift. While we were driving, this rattle slid under one of the front seats in our rental car. As I and my husband were in the front seats and my six month old was in the back seat, we weren't able to reach it. Anyone who has ever been to DC knows that there are parts of the highway system where you cannot stop unless it is a DIRE emergency, so we had to listen to this thing go off about every four seconds for half an hour. When we finally got back to where we were staying, we were ready to drive over it. We settled for taking out the batteries (which required a tiny screwdriver thank God we had one), and we like the toy a lot more now. My six month old likes holding it, rattling it, chewing on it and playing with it, which is why we bothered to take the batteries out rather than donating it to Goodwill or to another parent who might be more "noisy toy" tolerant.

I bought this toy elsewhere but searched for it on Amazon because it deserves a five staring rating. This is a great toy for the money, silly animal sounds and at least four short songs. Easy for little hands to hold and it's one of my grand daughter's favorites.

My 7 month old loves this rattle...but after a week of use the paint is chipping off of the "leaves". I can not in good conscience continue to use a product that may be harmful to his health however much he likes it.

My son picked this as his favorite toy when he was 2 months old. It is very easy for a baby to activate, and he learned that moving the toy made the noises happen. Now, he is 8 months old, and it is still a favorite! The only issue is that (as another reviewer stated) it is very sensitive, and it has no off switch, but it's not a big enough deal to bother me. I believe the batteries are starting to run low now, because it is making funny noises, and playing a drum rhythm I have never heard before, but I will be buying new batteries to keep this toy going! Pretty good battery life too, since we've had it about 6 months now with near nonstop use!
