Otherwise, it's a pretty quick setup compared to most of the other baby products we've purchased (swings, bouncers, high chairs, etc).While the music does get a little old, you'll still find yourself walking around the house singing the tunes aloud. It was given to us as a gift and, for the price, I may not have purchased it on my own, but since it keeps my girl entertained for about 15-20 minutes at a time, I'd say it's well worth it.
The greatest joy she gets is in seeing her own reflection which isn't necessarily due to this toy, but the height works well. My daughter lights up every time we put her in front of this thing.
It rattles, it's something to hold and of course, it goes straight to the mouth like most things during this phase.There's nothing particularly fancy about this toy. My daughter is approaching eight months and has thoroughly enjoyed the 2 months she's had access to this toy.
While she bangs on the drum and keyboard buttons and occasionally spins the guitar roller, she's never been a fan of pressing the lever for the saxophone -- maybe because it's a little more difficult to manipulate in comparison to the other instruments.Although I'm convinced she still doesn't really have any idea what it's for, my daughter always reaches for the microphone now. We use it every few days or so so that nobody gets burnt out on it.As for the construction, it's very sturdy, though admittedly, the screws can be a pain to put in.
I still haven't figured out exactly why my daughter squeals with excitement when she sees us put this in front of her, but I can't complain -- it keeps her occupied, she's genuinely having fun using it and the lights are a minimal distraction which probably promotes her curiosity and willingness to explore the toy in its entirety more than anything else.I'd definitely recommend this, but I wish it were more in the $30 price range.Another great toy, although equally expensive is the peek-a-blocks alphabet block set.I didn't expect those to be as expensive, but she certainly loves them almost as much.
She is now almost a year and still spends time playing with it several times a day, every day (and she has lots of things to choose from). If I could add one thing to it, it would be a molded plastic little pouch or pocket on the back to store the song cards in. We've had it since she was about 6 months old. I would have never guessed this toy would be such a hit with my baby. All in all, though, this toy is totally worth having. I love that it has an on/off switch and volume control.
The older kids sometimes play with the microphone, but other than that, it doesn't get used much (if at all) by baby.
Just today, she was sitting in front of it, looking at herself in the mirror and laughing.
Also, the mirror isn't that great of quality.
(and my 2 year old likes it, too).
You don't really need them, but it would be nice if they had a "home".
She can pull herself to standing on it without it tipping over.
The songs and music are catchy and fun and she just loves to bang on the piano keys (which are connected as one big piece), the drum, and spin the ball on the guitar.
The kids don't seem to mind, but I would love it all the more if it had a better quality mirror.
I'm so glad we purchased it for our little one.
He is now 7 mo old and although i can't just sit him in the Bumbo anymore and expect him to stay, he will still sit in his Bumbo supervised and plays with this toy, he still loves it. We have had this since my son was 4 mo old, and he LOVES this toy. At 4 mo old I would put him in his bumbo and set this in front of him and he would have the best time and sit and smile at it. One of the best investments for him to date. Highly recommend it.
Their are 2 downsides. My 9 month old daughter loves this toy. One is that if the baby pulls on it it can tip over. She talks to herself in the mirror and loves the microphone and all of the buttons and music. It is very upbeat and one of the better toys I have purchased for her. The second is that the music plays continually and does not go off on it's own when it is not in use.Other then that I would never trade this toy in. She adores it.
if the wiggle song is playing, you can press the drum and the drum is playing the tune, the piano and then the piano is playing the song, so on and so forth. The songs are cute and don't get old ((unlike some other toys we have)) and you can change the instrument that's playing the song.
She wasn't sitting up for a long period of time so we ignored the legs and just leaned the mirror against the side of the crib. The toy was an instant favorite.
This toy was bought for my Granddaughter when she was 6 months old. This toy is a must have.
Once she was able to sit up we attached the legs and now she's loving the music and lights. Her face just lights up when ever she presses the buttons.
I.E. If you have the chance, purchase this toy.
