For my twin toddler children, this chair is definitely not a fun toy. While they love Backyardigans and the characters in it, this chair is the hardest thing to get working. An adult literally needs to beat on the arm rests to get the unit to start playing music. It obviously is not very comfortable either as my twin girls prefer to try to beat the chair arms with a hard plastic toy while sitting on a stuffed animal and rarely sit in it even during the Backyardigans show. Unless you have a boy who may like to hit things very hard and loves this show, I don't recommend this chair.

My three year old loves this chair. The chair is motion activated and plays a drum tune, with buttons on the arm rests to add variations to the tune with symbols, bongo sounds, etc. Another reviewer said you have to beat on the buttons to get the chair to play, but that reviewer must not have realized that the chair is motion activated. All you have to do is give it a little shake to start the drum beat. No amount of pounding on the buttons will get the chair to play, unless your pounding shakes the chair, in which case the motion will activate the chair. Some people would rather get mad than try to give a situation a little thought, I guess. We think this is a great toy and would recommend it to anyone.
