Great toy for both my of my kids
By momof2fl
I bought this toy for my 4 month old daughter. I loved the fact that it grows with the baby. So far my daughter and my 2 year old son LOVE this toy. It is not hard to change the levels for each of them or they can both play with it at any level. My son does try to pry the shapes out when it is set at level one and they are locked into place. So I usually change the level for him. He gets alot of enjoyment out of making the top pop up and taking the shapes out. My infant loves to roll around on the floor and bat around at this toy and see the lights and music. This toy is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is a very nice toy! The music is nice and volume adjustable. The volume control is very nice because my son or daughter cant adjust it themselves so it stays at a desirable level. The lights are pleasing to look at and the music and sounds are very cool. I highly recommend this toy!

Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing
By Karen Miller
We got this gift as a Christmas present for our 16-month-old. It's a little bit too much blink and noise, I think, for what it actually is. The separate stages are nice, but he's not interested in the one for his age. You hear instructions for what color to press; when you press all the items of the right color the head pops up. He likes to push the head down again but it gets old just choosing red, blue, green, or yellow. It also seems to suck battery power like you wouldn't believe. What my 16-month-old, "stage 3" baby likes best, though, is the stage 1 setting for teeny babies (and not because he doesn't get it--he's a boy genius, of course). When you press or manipulate the gadgets, they light up but they also trigger tunes. He likes to set off the songs and then dance to them. That seems to be way more exciting than the "games" deemed age-appropriate. I am perfectly happy having him play with it just for the music and it does take up less space in a room than other musical toys he has
We are expecting a new baby in a few months, so it is a good toy to have on hand for two children. It powers itself off, it's pretty, and the knobs and manipulative parts are very colorful and fun to manipulate. I think it's better for younger kids. I don't see the purpose of the older stages beyond teaching colors, and the flashing lights, sounds, and computerized voice aren't the best teachers for that. Your child probably already learned how to pull, push, turn, flip, and practice other motor skills on household items anyway.

I have this at home for a little over a month, I bought this when my daughter was a little over 3 months. She first was fascinated by the lights and the music. Now I can see her trying out the various challenges, moving the wheel, pushing the buttons. Other mothers who come home like this toy and so do their kids.
