Fisher-Price Baby Playzone: Pull Up Ball Blast

Fisher-Price Baby Playzone: Pull Up Ball BlastOver all this is a great toy. The lights and baby dance-club music really entertain. Lots of learning to be done, dropping the balls, watching where they end up. BUT BE CAREFUL! We bought this toy as a gift for our neice, and received one as a gift for our 10 month old son. They are different! The one we bought for our neice looks just like the one in the illustration. The minute the child tries to pull up on it, it tips over. It caused a few bumps and lots of tears in our house. A little one, not firm in their standing, simply can't play with it without hurting themselves by falling over.

The one we received as a gift for our son has an added, extended base. It barely wobbles now when he pulls himself up on it. MUCH better than the older model. Just a word of warning to parents with little ones learning to pull up, try to check out the model before you buy it. Seems those in the retail (brick & morter) stores are the newer models, online tends to still have the more dangerous/wobbly model.

My son LOVES this toy!

It is the one toy he plays with every day, hours on end.

He actually taught himself how to stand using this toy.

This is one of the best toys I have bought for my son!

A wonderful gift for a new mother or mother-to-be.

This toy was very good for my son when he was learning to pull himself up. It helped him to keep steady. He also began to understand the concepts of cause and effect. I put the ball in here, it comes out over here. But he soon lost interest in it after he started walking. There were only so many times he could put the ball in the hole and watch it roll down. It became boring for him and he moved on to other toys that stimulated his mind a lot more. I only recommend this toy for babies 6-12 months, after that, they move on to bigger (and better) toys.

This toy is noisy, lights up, and little one's love it. We loved it too, until our little girl got her arm trapped in one of the holes on top. This toy is recomended for an age group that still easily loses balance...

We bought this for our son Dylan in August, for his 1st birthday. While he loves this toy (but only the music bit--he could care less about the balls), its not a steady toy to pull up on. It wobbles easily, and he's fallen a few times trying to pull himself up on it. I've also heard from other moms with the same problem.

Also, watch your assembly carefully--I followed the directions exactly, but the ramps didn't line up with the ball holes. My husband had to pry the whole thing apart and start again.

Its a fun toy, but I've heard of lots of them being returned. Most of Dylan's play group loved the Ball Blast, but we were always around to catch one of them when they fell. My advice is to get it, but only play with it when you are on the floor with them!
