Hasbro Playskool Let's Play Together Peek & Pop Giraffes

My 8 month old daughter loves this toy!!!! She likes the giraffes because they pop up and down. She also likes the rings, they have beads inside that shake, and little tags on one of them that she can chew on. She especially loves to chew on their ears! Haha. She has NO trouble putting the rings on or taking the rings off. I will certainly buy this as a gift for others if the occassion arrives!

As any typical grandmother I purchased this toy long before Grace is actually old enough to truly play with it. However, even at this age, she loves having one of the rings placed on her arm so she can bang it around and hear the rattle. This is reminscent of the stacking rings I played with as a child, but the rings here are stiffer and while she can chew on them, they won't puncture or become torn. Awesome design and the giraffes are really cute!

My 9 month old loves this toy. It was his favorite Christmas present. We haven't had a problem with the ears. It's a no frill, no noise, not battery toy. I agree with the other reviewer, there's little Peek-a-boo action, but we're not too bothered by it. My son loves to feel the different rings and hear the different sounds they make. Best of all, he likes throwing things

Cons: My 10-month old was doing a great job putting the post in the center of the ring but couldn't stack them because the rings get stuck on the ears of the giraffes. It takes a good bit of effort to push the rings past the ears. A baby just won't do it. So I cut them off and now it works well. The peek-a-boo feature is pointless. The distance that the giraffes "pop up" is so tiny the baby doesn't notice or care.

Pros: The rings can stack in any order. Baby isn't frustrated because they put the small ring on first and can't stack any more like the fisher price version. Also, the two posts are fun because he can put all the rings on one post then unstack them onto the other over...and over... and over. Another pro...the toy makes no noise and takes no batteries. It is also great that the rings make noises when you shake them and have things inside like a peek-a-block would.

Overall not bad, but you have to mutilate the giraffe's ears first and they look kinda sad now.

I got this for my 9 month old, thinking it would be a nice diversion from the traditional rock-n-stack; however, she's not thrilled with it and I'm thinking of getting the rock-n-stack anyway. We didn't have the problem described with the giraffe's ears, but the rings are kind of heavy for her (she's got some disabilities though, so it could just be her), and the colors aren't very engaging. It's a very cute toy, it just doesn't get a ton of play time in our house.

green sprouts Organic Terry Circus Animal Teether

I applaud a company for making products that are safe, especially at an affordable price. However, the quality of the bear is extremely poor. The stitching looks like it was done by hand by a beginner seamstress and not in a charming "handmade" kind of way. My preschooler gets kid meal toys that look better quality than this. In fact, I would be embarrassed to give this to someone as a gift. Also, the item description says organic cotton exterior AND organic cotton fill. However, the tag on my product says organic exterior and does not list "organic" for the cotton interior. I've read that cotton batting does contain pesticide residues (if it is not organic) because it is not as processed as cotton fabric (which does not contain pesticide residues). Initially I bought this because the interior was organic cotton and not polyester. False representation.

While this looks like my son would love it he never got the chance because it is being returned for a refund due to the poor quality of this toy. The stitching is so lose it looks like with a tug his head would promptly fall off and there are holes where you can see the stuffing and I just opened the package! So disappointed! As a busy mom the last thing I have time to do is return an item so that tells you just how poorly its made that I am taking the time to do so. I love the teether keys from Greensprout so I was hoping to love this one too.

When I washed the tiger, the filling got a little lumpy. It is a natural filling (cotton) which is probably why it does that, but I was just surprised, being used to typical synthetic filings. The teether part was not particularly interesting to my baby because there is no texture on it, but he did like chewing on the stuffed animal part of it. Looked liked a tiger to me and very cute.

Giimmo Magic Light

I bought this for our son when he was two (now 4), when we put him in a "big boy bed". He was very excited when we got it. He loved hitting it on the head to make it turn on and off. The colors transitioned as they were suppose to. I was dissapointed in the product though.

1) It is very hard. I was expecting a softer product. It almost feels like porcelin.

2)You have to hit it VERY hard and it hurts a grown ups hand

3)It is way too bright! Not a soft sleeping light. It is very bright and almost over stimulating.

4)If not plugged in and left with the child all night the battery dies around 3 or 4 am. It stays on red for a while and then dies. I was woken up several times when this started happening

5)After the first week the fuz on the arms was completely gone and peeling from the other places (legs, ears. ect.)My kids are generally very gentle on their toys, don't chew on things,ect. so I was very surprised

I did write the seller and they sent a new one and said we could keep the "deffective" one.

The new one we keep plugged in on a shelf so it stays on all night. We tapp the feet on the shelf to avoid smacking it with out hands.

Over all, for a child's night light which advertises it can be taken to bed with them I was expecting something more kid friendly. I should be softer, more durable, have a battery that lasts through the night, and should be dimmer for better sleeping.

So cute and fun for my daughter to play with before bed. It charges up with the included cord and the charge lasts for weeks with the our use. It has a small switch on the bottom to keep it from turning on randomly. It is motion sensitive so little bumps turn it on. The light is bright enough to use as night light but soft enough to not keep her awake. The colors change as well which is fun.

This is super cute but I wish I would have looked at how small this was. It is also a very hard toy. The lights are cool but not cool enough for the money I spent on it.. Also, I received the produce 2 days late and I had amazon prime.. DEF cancelled that, not worth it.

Kathe Kruse Soft Velour Cradle-Carrier for Nicki Baby Doll, in Fiery Red

I bought this soft cradle in pink to go along with my daughter's nikki baby and we are both big fans of it. It is brightly colored and matches her baby. She still takes the cradle-carrier and the baby to sleep with her and she is 4 years old. It is washable, and stands up to everyday play and it is awesomely priced for a Kathe Kruse item. I would definately purchase this product again if the need ever arose. I love it!!

Forum Novelties Lil Builder Complete Costume

My toddler son is 21 months and the costume fit perfectly. He is slightly above average in size. I think this would fit when he is 2 years old, but probably not 3 years old. The outfit came with the hat, the red scarf and a tool belt and tools. It was a pretty cute outfit, easy to wash and dry.

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Stroll-Along Walker

My daughter loves this toy! My mom got it for her when she started pulling up and she loved playing on the front of it when sitting and pulling up on the front and back. Recently she learned how to push it and I love that it's more sturdy than other walkers I've seen although it does go faster on hardwood so I would recommend beginners use it on carpet. I feel she will be walking soon judging from how well she pushes it now at only 8 months! She also has the doll that is sold separately which is super cute!

We bought this stroller for our grandchild who was in the pulling up stage. It is wonderful! We had already bought several of the walk behind / ride on toys and the V-tech walker. Ainsley was never very interested in any of those. From the moment she first saw this one, she knew exactly what it was. She puts Baby Stella in it and pushes her all over. It is very sturdy. Ainsley uses it to pull up and then it doesn't roll fast so she can walk behind it. She never had any problem turning it. She is steady enough with its support that she easily changes direction. I really feel that this toy gave her the confidence to take the next step. She is now officially a toddler having taken her first few steps last week, but she still loves pushing her dolls in this stroller. I highly recommend this stroller. I wish that we had found it before we bought all the other walk behind toys that didn't really work for us.

My 15 month old daughter loves this toy. We bought it to encourage her to walk. She loves to push her babies in it. I agree that it doesn't turn well, but it is light enough that my daughter can pick it up to turn it. The music only plays for a few seconds, so it isn't too annoying. It is very sturdy. It seems to roll better on carpet than hardwood or tile. It sort of slides on solid floors. I would certainly purchase this toy again.

I have been waiting for this walker for quite some time, and it's everything I thought it would be. It's not too big, so it doesn't take up too much space. When my baby stands with it, it's not like other walkers. It doesn't start to roll. Plus, it has a two-fold purpose. It's a walker, and a little stroller for her doll all in one. I love it, and at this price, you can't pass it up!

I bought this stroller for my 1 year-old little girl who is learning to walk. She's loves to put her babies in the stroller and "walk" them around the house. The stroller is the perfect height for little ones and I was surprised at how durable and sturdy it is. The wide base makes it easier for her to push. I only have two small complaints....The stroller is very lightweight. I think that this is a problem with a lot of the walkers on the market. It's hard for her to control because it goes faster than she can walk. I solved this by putting a sock full of beans in her baby doll! The stroller is heavier and easier for her to push. Also, the music that the bear plays is annoying... she and my other kids like it though! i would definitely recommend this toy.

Gund Crawl with Me Turtle Animated Musical 11.5" Plush

My daughter is not quite crawling yet, but she likes the Crawl with me Turtle. She dances to the music and gets upset when it stops.

I personally find the voice kind of annoying; the first thing my husband asked when he saw it was if there was a way to turn the voice off. (There is not.) Also, the turtle crawls VERY SLOWLY. It's definitely something your baby will not have trouble catching once they get moving!

I love the brand Gund. My daughter has a few Gund stuffed animals and I was excited to add this turtle to the collection. Turtles are also my moms favorite animal, so she was super excited too. I have never owned a Gund "animated plush".

First impression: When the toy arrived, the packaging threw me off a little. It came wrapped in a plastic bag and seemingly thrown in box. Um. Okay. No big deal, and may have been just a Vine thing, but it definitely was not "gift worthy" if you're planning on sending it as a gift.

The next thing I noticed was how study the turtle felt cool, that means it can handle my 15 month old. However, the four legs are thinly covered pieces of metal (not a very squishy toy). The rest looked exactly like the picture with accurate colors.

Crawling: This thing moves SLOW or not at all. Sometimes it just makes the motion. My daughter does not mind, and she still thought it was great. She was thoroughly entertained for at least 10 minutes* the first time we used it. My two cats also seemed to think it was pretty interesting as a bonus.

Sounds: The melody is fine, the words of encouragement become a little annoying. ("Crawl with me baby! Touch my shell! Now you got it baby!" etc) The sound is a cute (or creepy) happy little kid voice. I will mimic others and say that if I had to change one thing, I'd really really like an on/off switch for the sounds, because without it being "on" its just a semi-stuffed animal. It is a shame that it can't crawl and be silent. My daughter though does like the voice, and seems to enjoy touching the shell (activating the voice) of the turtle when she walks by.

Overall, I would recommend this toy. It is cute and fun, my daughter really loves it, my mom (nana) adores it, and for what it is a fun interactive toy, I really like it.

(*10 minutes it pretty good in toddler-time)

Buy Gund Crawl with Me Turtle Animated Musical 11.5" Plush Now

My daughter is close to crawling so I liked the idea of a turtle that would crawl with her when she started to crawl. The turtle says phrases such as "Crawl with me", "You're doing great baby" and "Catch me." These phrases are nice encouragement for the baby but for a parent, they start to grow old fast as does the music that plays as the turtle crawls. It only plays ONE song as it crawls, which I find to be monotonous and more song variety would make the turtle more appealing as would more phrases or just a music only option. She gets bored with him after a few minutes.

Another issue I found with the turtle is that he crawls really well on hard floors, but if you have a thicker carpet or put him on a blanket on the floor with the baby, he gets stuck and doesn't move very well. When he does crawl, he moves pretty slowly it would be nice if it had a mechanism to change the crawl speed as baby gets more proficient with crawling.

Overall, the idea was better than the delivery of this product. While my baby likes it fine, I wouldn't purchase it for the asked price though given all the downsides.

The only downside to this toy is how hard it is! It looks totally snugglable and it really is adorable in action, but oof, if a kid tries to cuddle it? There is some serious ouch potential. It's also quite heavy. But hey, that heaviness equals sturdiness, and it's still going strong!

The new Gund "Crawl with Me Turtle" toy is so awesomely cute I dare anybody to keep from smiling while watching this little fella strut his stuff. This slow-moving animated plush turtle walks and talks and plays music and everybody in the house baby, brother and sister, mom and dad, grandma and grandpa...even the pets will find this toy easy to love. No, it's not educational (unless encouraging an infant to crawl is "teaching"), but that's not the point. The "Crawl with Me Turtle" is just one of those toys that you get for the little one because maybe, someday, they'll have a faint memory of Mr. Turtle lumbering across the floor in front of them while they were giggling their Snuggie off.

Plush Stuffed Bunny Rabbits & & Chick -Set of Three 5" Washable Toys for Infants & Young Children

We really love these toys. They were ordered for my 8 month baby. The size is perfect for her. I am very happy they are machine washable which is hard to find. They are cute and engaging. I like the way they can sit upright instead of falling flat. I have also attached a ring, where the tag is so I can use it in the car seat of stroller. The quality is high and detailed. At $14+ I felt the cost was reasonable and lower overall than similar products. I am very happy with this purchase.

set of three was a perfect Easter buy for the three kids. Everyone had their own color. At only a few inches tall (3-5", depending on ear position?), they easily fit in the baskets. cute, soft, seems to be good quality. Has held up well for 5 months. They were carried around a lot for the first few days... now largely forgotten. But still cute.

Gund Huggybuddy- 18 inch

I did a lot of searching for a "blanket buddy" for my new born granddaughter. Having seen how successful this type of item (a bear by another manufacturer)) has been for her sister, now 28 months old, I wanted to get one for the new baby. I also wanted it to be different enough from the other one that no jealousy or conflicts would arise.

So, I found and read the reviews on about seven such "buddies." The Gund was certainly an excellent choice very soft, with one silky side and one plush side, and machine washable. The head size was a bit of a surprise, being larger than I'd imaged, but that's really no problem.

Be sure to get two one for normal use and one emergency "back-up" in case of loss or washing machne time, as children can get very attached to these little friends. Attachment to a small "buddy" however, is so much better than attachment to a large "security blanket" like we saw in the "old days."

I LOVE Huggybuddy Lamb. I bought one for my daughter when she was 6 months old and now she is 8 months old and sleeps with it every night. Every time she's sleepy she'll burry her head in it's soft head. Extremely soft and it's silky body is perfect for her to grip at night. I would definitely recommend a huggybuddy!

I originally stumbled upon huggybuddies after having a terrible experience with a similar type lovey from another brand. The bow was sucked off by my 6th month old and she could have choked to death on it. I liked these because they are well made without parts to come off (bows) or come out (rattles). I sew, so I know good quality when I see it. We love love love our huggybuddies!!!

Dora the Explorer Toddler Bed with Canopy

My daughter stopped wanting to sleep in her crib when we converted it to a toddler bed. She picked this one out and said she would sleep in it if we got it. She loves it! Much easier to get her to go to bed now (she is 4). Poka yoke is a Japanese term meaing fail proofing. In design you make things poka yoke so there is only one way things go together so you can't put thing together wrong. The designers seriously need a refresher on this. I had to undo and redo about 5 times, instructions are poor, and I didn't realize things were on wrong till you get a step further and have to undo.

My best advice is to go through the directions and put the bed together WITHOUT screws, figure out which way the pieces line up best, and then go back to put it together permanently.

My daughter absolutely LOVES this bed. Her birthday was in February, and she still talks about how much she loves her pretty new bed and is so happy to have it.

I cannot complain about the bed itself at all. Assembled it stands about 4' high. I was afraid it was going to be too big for her small space, but it takes up a LOT less room than her previous bed (we found the blue version at a yard sale the frame took up a lot of space Little Tikes Princess Pink Toddler Roadster Bed. The stickers are cute, the plastic is decently sturdy, the canopy is very thin but she doesn't mess with it so it seems okay. The frame is also strong enough that I have occasionally heard her bouncing on it (28 pounds) when we aren't in there.

The directions are not complicated, they are simply not clear ENOUGH.

1) If you get the canopy version, there are 8 brackets in two packs of 4. There are 2 types the upper has a hole on both sides, the ones for the floor have an enclosure. They are not separated by type, so you will have to open both bags first rather than just open one and put all 4 on the bed. Very simple, but annoying if you didn't pay attention and have to pull the headboard off to swap them.

2) The mattress support pad only fits one way. Unfortunately, it looks like it works both ways, so line everything up before you start screwing it together to make sure you don't have to reverse the pad.

3) If you have a rubber mallet, it would be useful to have on hand for tapping some of the metal pieces up and down to get the holes to line up. Not necessary, but helpful.

It's been a month since we put it together, and these are the problems I remember as being the most annoying. I'm sorry I didn't write this sooner, but if I happen to recall any other issues I will add them to the review.

The bed is worth it, though!

The bed itself seems fine. The installation process was fairly easy, but this item was not crafted with precision so not all of the holes lined up properly. Also, as other people have noted, the frame of the canopy seems a little weak.

FYI: If I could start the assembly process over, I would go to the hardware store and get the proper nuts and bolts to make this sturdier. It came with some screws and what seem like 1/4-20 Thd., 7/16 Lg., Three Prong Tee-Nuts without the teeth to hold them in place. Most of the screws stripped pretty easily and of course the last set I got to cross-threaded when I applied a little force to compensate for a misaligned screw holes. I think some longer, standard machine screws and some washers would be better since you're fastening the hollow plastic pieces to the metal frame. It's very easy for the head of the screw to drive in too deep.

Read Best Reviews of Dora the Explorer Toddler Bed with Canopy Here

This bed is really very pretty. And the bottom feels very solid and sturdy and safe. There are only two issues with it.

The first is not a huge deal the side guards leave no space at all b/w themselves and the mattress. I know it should be tight but it is so incredibly tight that it is very difficult to make the bed. The comforter doesn't fit in the spaces at all. This also is uncomfortable for a toddler just getting used to using sheets. My daughter kicks them off, but if they are too tight and she can't pull them out of the sides, she gets frantic. My solution was to remove one side guard and put the bed up against the wall. This gives just enough breathing room for the sheets and comforter and my daughter.

The second problem is that I would have liked the canpoy bars to be mpre solid. My daughter does not hang off things, but if you have a child that likes to grab and play with bars, she will break it instantly and or pull it down and fall. They have to be collapsible to fit in the box, but it would be helpful if they would make the box longer, thicken the canopy supports and make it harder to pull down.

But overall, the bed is lovely.

I bought this for my 3yr old daughter and she likes the bed. The hardware is your basic set of tubes and screws for the frame, with plastic everything else. It seems sturdy enough for her. Unlike other reviewers I did not find it particularly hard to put together, but I've put together my fair share of IKEA stuff, so maybe that makes a difference.

The canopy arrived torn and after calling Delta their solution was to ask me to return the item to the store, Amazon in this case. All I want is the canopy replaced but Delta can't help and Amazon wants me to ship the whole thing back. Thought everyone considering buying this should know what they're up against if they need something replaced.

Tummy Measure Game

I found this cute idea for a baby shower game when I was desperate for ideas to break the ice. We were going to be mostly people who had never met each other and whose only common link was the expectant mother. I enjoy meeting new people, but realising it is difficult for some I thought it would be an idea to have something to do if there was a lull in conversation. This tape measure was good fun without embarrassing anyone. Just hand around the tape and some scissors, everyone gets to cut the tape to what they imagine is the closest size to the baby bump. We made it more fun with a gift for the person who was closest.

I had alot of people at my shower and didn't have enough to go around. So, I used this as a tie breaker. It was fun, worth buying!

There was a lot of laughter and it got people up out of there seats. The tape measure was great and we had enough for all of our guests of 25, but we did purchase two tapes as some people tend to over estimate the size. I would buy this again for the next shower. I was glad that I purchased 2 as we had a large amount of people and you can have two people cutting at a time. It would be great if it came with a couple of pair of plastic scissors.

Fisher Price Classics Bouncy Bee

I just received this toy for my grand daughter for Christmas. It said nowhere in the description about it being plastic. We have an old wooden one that is very worn, but she loves it, so I was looking one to replace it. Was very disappointed to find out it was not the same thing. I would not mind paying more for it, if it were the same as the original Fisher Price Bumble Bee.... They should have replicated the authentic one...... this one is going back !

This is a great classic toy. I bought it for my grandson. He loves pulling it around the house. It reminds me of when his father pulled the identical bee around the house. It is nice to have great memories.

Little Tikes 3-in-1 Trike (Purple)

Even with both of my hands on the handle, this thing nearly tipped over NUMEROUS times, even on flat terrain. It DID tip over once (during my baby's final ride), but luckily we were still on carpet. However, he still hit his head. He just leaned over a little bit to reach for something and down he went. I promptly returned it to Costco. It's a shame they made the center-of-gravity on this toy so high because babies really love it, especially if you get the one with the steering wheel, like I did. VERY DANGEROUS!!! I'm guessing this toy will be recalled at some point.

I bought this for my daughter's first birthday and she LOVES it! The steering is NOT the best, and is actually pretty tricky, but she loves it, so I'll put up with it! She doesn't really like the shade being anywhere but over her because she wants to see everything, so I haven't had a chance to really see how well that works for her! Other than that I wish the dump bucket was a little stronger...she dumps it all the time on accident and it scares her.

I would definitely recommend it despite the tricky steering! It's worth the smile on her face!

She can't sleep without it. If it is missing she goes around asking for it by making a monkey noise that she made up, it is super cute and durable, made it through the wash once already and still looks like brand new. I am so happy to see a monkey marketed towards little girls they are always for boys. I love her cute little pink flower in her hair and pink floral hand and foot pads. My daughter thinks it is funny when I hand the monkey by the cute curl in her tail. This has been a great addition to my daughters toys and I know will be around for a lifetime. Two thumbs up!

I couldn't resist this little plush monkey while looking for cribs at Babies'r'Us before my daughter was born. We bought it right then and there (and later set up her room to match the theme), and it has since become one of my daughter's favorite toys at 4 months old. My daughter likes to stare at her monkey during playtime (loves faces), and has also grabbed her and gnawed on her (baby's teething). The little monkey is none worse for the wear so far, which is a plus in our book. :)

Fisher-Price Cruise and Groove Ballapalooza

The Fisher-Price Cruise and Groove Ballapalooza, much like its name, takes up way too much space for what it is. This toy takes up more room than any other we own and there's no way to reduce its size for storage. Without changing much feature-wise, this toy could have easily been designed to take up half the space.

This toy does have some neat design elements. There is a ball-dropper at the top that you can push balls into and have them fall out onto a angled plastic 'trampoline' pad so that they bounce onto the top of the highest ramp. There is also a switch that registers falling balls to turn on lights and sound (3 C batteries required). The toy comes with plenty of balls (which are very hard plastic, so watch where your kids throw them) and the toy does look great when it is fully assembled. Also, assembly is not too bad, taking roughly 20-30 minutes for the average parent, less if there's help or a powered screwdriver.

My children are 8 months and 2 1/2 years old. They both enjoyed playing with the toy right away, but there interest quickly evaporated. Simply put, this toy doesn't do much. The ramps can only be constructed one way and while there are 2 ramps, the shorter path is completely lame. The higher ramp (with the trampoline) is just short enough for easy access to my older kid, but obviously too much for my little one to handle she mostly plays with the balls and ignores the monstrous Ballapalooza. The suggested age range of 6 months to 3 years doesn't make much sense to me. I feel that any kid over 2 years will quickly become bored and many kids under 1 year will not really be able to use this toy. So, I would suggest 12-24 months.

Overall, I was disappointed by this toy and so were my kids. It looks nice and is fun for a few days, but for its size and price, it should do more to keep kids entertained. It would have been easy for Fisher Price to include more ramps and do-hickeys that interact with the rolling balls. Instead the toy offers one mildly amusing ramp, one ramp that's a waste of space and some unrelated do-hickeys that don't really do much but take up a lot of extra space.

UPDATE (11/8/2012): After a little over one month, my children have played very little with this toy since I posted my review. I have kept the toy out in a prominent location because we have space and the toy really does look great, but they mostly ignore it. Every few days my toddler might pick up a ball and play with the Ballapalooza for all of one or two minutes. I will be taking the toy down to the basement shortly.

This toy is fun ~ very entertaining and educational.

Our grandson loves to run the balls down the chute to keep the music going ~

and crawl through the arms, and this toy is also styled to share.

The flashing lights on the post are red/green/yellow like a traffic light

and blink on/off to the beat of the music.

This activity center encourages various other action

that promote motor skills and coordination.

For children 6 mo to 3 yrs ~ plus.

There are 31 pieces to screw and/or snap together, 35 screws, and some stickers.

The pieces are notched all different ways, and numbered to aid in assembly.

I used a phillips bit, in my cordless drill ~ minimized the torque and went slow ~

the plastic is tough enough that all the screws snugged down to a stop

with-out striping out any holes.

I found it easier to use the butt end of the rubber coated handle of my hammer

to hit the snap joints together, instead of my hands.

The switch on the base has two levels of volume.

Ballapalooza uses three C batteries which aren't included.

This seems to be a rugged toy, and reminds me of the sort of toys

you might see in a Pediatric Doctors waiting room.

Up-date May 27, 2013. Our grandson still plays with this toy every time he's at out house.

He's forever inventing different ways of interacting with the Ballapalooza, running his little cars around the ramps, etc.

Perhaps he's not grown tired of it because it's not available to him everyday, but he's still loving this toy.

Overall, I'm not super impressed with this toy! I've listed the pros and cons below, and although the list looks pretty equal, the pros are minor functions compared to the cons of a long time to assemble. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old and they really don't seem to care for this toy, which was surprising, but it really doesn't do much other than the balls sliding down the ramps.

PROs

The post lights up and has fun music

It comes with LOTS of balls, so if you lose some you're not frantically looking for something to make the toy work again

It's fun colors

It has a 2 different music volumes so you can turn it down if you find the music annoying

CONs

It takes a LONG time to put together (took me more than 1 hour and I'm good with putting toys together!)

My kids were bored with it after 15 minutes

The toy itself is VERY large and takes up a lot of room (it's about 3 feet in diameter by the time it's all put together)

The balls only can take 2 different tracks, so the limited options, left my kids (3 and 16 months) bored quickly

The "door" they can crawl through doesn't move well and doesn't trigger any music or lights

The music and lights are not always triggered by the balls going through

It's too tall for my 16 month old to put the balls in the top part and The crawl through door is too small for my 3 year old to go through, so it seems like they weren't sure what age/ages they were really making this toy for

This was a toy for my 22 month old son, we wanted to give him something interactive to play with that would stimulate him to move and play. Out of the box this comes in dozens of pieces and should probably be put together ahead of time when your child is napping or busy, it took a little while to assemble and having a toddler run off with pieces sets you back really fast. After assembled and getting batteries installed this thing is nothing but fun. My son got the hang of it very quickly, you can add balls anywhere along the track but he does like to make them go from the tip top all the way to the bottom, we had extra balls from another toy and it is much more fun with the extra balls traveling the course. This is a very large toy, it works best if you have a playroom or space in a bedroom that is large enough to leave it up all the time, taking it down and moving it frequently is not really easy. Overall I would give this 5 stars and recommend it for anyone that wants to see their child have active play even indoors on a rainy day.

Before I start my review I must say that usually Amazon would send a big box displaying what's inside so you can't hide it. This one came in an Amazon brown box so if you're thinking of getting this as a gift for your little one then you have no issues with packaging. Another thing you may need to do is stock up on your C batteries because this one takes 3 and they're not included. :)

Set up was not too difficult since all the parts were numbered and the directions were pretty simple to follow. It took my husband setting it up about an hour setting it up by himself. Once set up though it's a phenomenal toy. My 8 month old loves it. She has fun putting the balls in and watching them roll down. She's at the age where she pulls herself up and I'm not afraid of it tipping over with her because of the stability of the toy.

The music is more techno and fun and watching it light up amazes her. It does take up a bit of floor space so take that into consideration when buying. I definitely recommend this toy for those crawling and learning to stand.

Kiddo #3 loves this elephant! At 3.5 months old she's interacting with it and starting to reach for it. I love that with its clip, it's easily moved from carseat to toy to just about anywhere.

This toy is well made, very cute, but if you are going to let your baby play with it without hanging on to the car seat, remove the green clip from the toy to avoid the baby to trap his fingers.

Baby's little fingers can easily get trapped in the clip.

I love this toy. It makes noise and it vibrates when you pull it down. My baby hates being in the car seat, so I just pull one down and he stops crying.
