Baby Xylophone Musical Toy

In many ways this is a great toy, we like the sound, weight, bright colours BUT the mallet is VERY DANGEROUS for small babies, especially those teething who will stick everything in their mouths. Although the edges are rounded that will not prevent the ends getting STUCK in your baby's mouth. While happily playing and chewing my nine month old got the end of the mallet JAMMED between the roof and bottom of his mouth. Horrible experience, fortunately he was fine but it could easily have become a real nightmare. DO NOT GIVE THE MALLET TO BABIES. Save this toy for when chewing and exploring with the mouth are long over.

After lots of searching I settled on this model for my 10 month old boy. He's still a little young for this but will grow into it. This is the perfect design for young kids and is well made in Israel. The pitch is excellent and the design is sturdy. Rounded edges are nice and safe and the kid can't pry off any of the notes. It gets dropped a lot. The mallot is just what you want too, as they will stick it in their mouth and run around with it, so you don't want the standard stick. Worth the exra money!

Received this as a gift for my then 1 year old daughter. I'd seen a lot of xylophones in the stores, but they sounded AWFUL (either an incomplete scale or WAY out of tune). This one seems to be a true scale, not musician quality, but you can play little tunes on it. The mallet looks flimsy, but has withstood my daughter's vigorous play. The frame is solid. The paint on the keys has not chipped and is bright and cheerful. Doesn't seem to have any hard or pokey edges.

Bottom line: It doesn't look very impressive, but it's well-constructed and in tune, which is important if you're hoping to encourage a good ear for music.

After playing with all of the xylophones in the stores and finding at least one bar out of tune, I searched on Amazon, and found this little guy. No bells and whistles, but it is actually IN TUNE!!! I had to tie a ribbon to the striker so it didn't get lost, but this was an absolutely easy consolation for finding one that didn't grate on my ears.

This is the only xylophone I could find for babies that is actually in tune! It plays a complete scale (C to C) so we can play recognizable songs on it easily (fun!) plus it has the added educational value of teaching little ones what a scale should sound like. I really like the plastic edges, which cover up the sides of the keys so babies can't chew on them. The mallet is plastic too and seems safe to me. It's nice that the mallet attaches to the back of the xylophone so we don't loose it.
