Build Quality and Design

Pros:

  • "This teaches 3 languages, has music notes and names animals. It's nice that it lays flat and props up!! My 5 month old loves it!!"
  • "It is very sturdy and has been played with a lot."
  • "Its really well made and easy to push the buttons to make it light up."
  • "Not too loud, sturdy and no hard edges."
  • "The hard plastic makes it easy to clean."
  • "It is also very easy to wipe down and sanitize."
  • "It is sturdy, comes complete with batteries (which last forever), and looks nice even after being bashed around by a little one."

Cons:

  • "The stand on the back does not hold any kind of weight so baby knocks it down every time which also muffles the sound."
  • "The stand is very flimsy and falls right down after setting it up."
  • "One drawback is, it will not stay proped up on its legs when she leans on it or plays with it."
  • "The stand isn't as sturdy as I would've hoped (my partner almost broke it on the first try)."
  • "While it has a lock that's supposed to keep it upright, baby's meager strength is enough to flatten the kickstand back to it's stored position, lock be damned."
  • "The stand to keep it standing up is very flimsy and doesn’t work well at all."
  • "The little leg underneath is not very sturdy though. It popped off a couple of times if she rolled over on it or laid on it but now it has come off completely."

Functionality and Features

Pros:

  • "This is a great toy! My 6 month gets a kick out of it every time he plays with it."
  • "The positives are it has 3 language options (French, Spanish, English) and the lights and music are great."
  • "There are 3 language settings and 3 audio settings that say the colors, the animals, and music notes."
  • "Keeps my baby's focus has bright light colors and three language settings plus music."
  • "Love the different settings too like music, colors, and animals."
  • "It plays multiple classical songs, has three different themes (animals, colors, musical note), and three languages (English, Spanish, French)."
  • "I love that it has 3 different languages, volume options and options between music, colors, and animals."

Cons:

  • "If you have anyone that may be at risk for seizures please avoid this toy. Very fast lighting changes."
  • "The sound quality on this thing is scratchy and not the best, I constantly feel like the batteries are dying."
  • "The volume is very low even on the highest setting so it’s very hard to hear."
  • "After just a few weeks of very light use one of the lights started glitching on a regular basis."
  • "We have to turn it on and off multiple times (it’s not the batteries)"
  • "Now, whenever we turn it on, a song plays for 3 seconds and then it starts glitching and doesn’t stop until we turn it off."
  • "The control to change what between colors and and animals didn’t work at all."

Safety and Durability

Pros:

  • "This floor toy is awesome. It's quality."
  • "This was a great purchase. I watch my 6 month old grandson daily and this keeps him interested with lights, tunes and words."
  • "The interactive features, such as the piano, make it perfect for stimulating his senses and promoting cognitive development."
  • "This is such a good tool for fun, engagement, and learning colors."
  • "Great for babies that like to kick, and for tummy time."
  • "This is a wonderfully fun & educational toy. Grandson is 6 months & loves it! I can see him enjoying through 2-3 years old!"
  • "It was super helpful for my second as well—great for tummy time, and a wonder for him when he was learning to sit up: finally a toy that he can play with without falling over trying to reach the buttons!"

Cons:

  • "Sliced my 4 month old’s finger open."
  • "The lights were too bright, and we returned as we found it unsafe for the infants to stare/play with toy that has too bright light output."
  • "She loved this toy before now but after spending 10 minutes getting her finger to stop bleeding, we’re definitely not playing with it again."
  • "The animal stickers peeled off before even using it (we didn't notice), found parts of the stickers in my child's mouth after a few seconds of playing!"
  • "He hand was on the side and it closed on her finger leaving a decent cut, which or course is the worst spot for a cut with a teething, trying to crawl 6 month old!"
  • "Could be a choking hazard if not careful."
  • "The item has barely been used but when we went to use it today, when it’s on the loudest setting and you press any button, the purple elephant just flashes and beeps continuously."
