My son received this toy for his first birthday. He likes it and will listen to the music. It has a lot of problems though. The balls do not stay in the toy at all and get lost under furniture or hit him in the face. He’s also gotten his arm stuck in the tube. Also, sometimes the fan doesn’t blow the balls out so they just sit there (this started right after he got the toy). It tips over easily too. Definitely would not recommend for an active, curious child.

I didn’t expect this toy to be her favorite, or even to be particularly educational, but I assumed it would work. However, they do not include enough balls for it to work. Instead you regularly have to provoke the air pressure to get the balls to continue along their way. My daughter gets impatient, takes the balls, and angrily leaves the thing to make it’s noise alone.

We got this as a gift for our 9 month old.
The Good: He loves the action, cause/effect, the music, etc. We like the ease of assembly and the design of the battery cover.
The Bad: Tips over too easily, balls sometimes fly off the track, and he tries to reach his hand into the top tube. What’s really bad is the sound level. Way too loud for little kids.
Not a bad toy, but nothing spectacular. I cannot wait until he’s older and ready for some of the quieter Little People toys.

My daughter loved this toy. Unfortunately, my son was afraid of it. So I sold it so that someone else could enjoy it.

I wish I could give this toy less than 1 star. My son recieved it as a gift last year, and couldn’t wait to get it open. two minutes later we were calling his uncle for the reciept. Like some of the other reviewers stated, this toy is horribly loud, both the music and fan. The balls were very thin, some having large dents straight out of the box that we just couldn’t get out.
Some reviewers pointed out how hard the button had to be pushed to get the toy to work properly, but with ours that just wasn’t the case. No matter what little trick we would try, we couldn’t get the balls to pop out.
The ball track would pop off if my son so much as breathed on the toy and he spent more time trying to stick other balls that were too big, or random toys into this thing, and believe me, it is not easy fishing things out of this toy.
To sum it up: Buyer Beware. There are better toys out there that are cheaper!
