2.0 out of 5 stars Really poorly designed, but cute., September 18, 2009

My then 5-month old received this as a gift and was drawn to its appealing visual qualities. The tree and the animals are really really cute. Unfortunately it is not possible to roll the animals down the ramp without constantly nudging them as they get stuck along the curves, and they more often than not flip themselves over so they're not even rolling on their rollers. The track/ramp is either too narrow, or the animals are too wide, to roll freely. It is very hard to believe this toy was tested before being marketed because it NEVER works.

There is a hole in the center of the tree trunk that you can put the animals into, and they fall down thru the center of the trunk and come out near the "merry-go-round" (purple, in the image). This is nothing more than a chute -- no ramp or slide inside the trunk. You're just dropping the animals, THUD. They could have at least put a little slide in there so the animals really come out with some pizzazz.

The animals are also designed too large to work as suggested inside the merry-go-round and the "teeter-totter".

There used to be another review that seems to have been removed, and it said that their baby pulled this toy over on himself because it's not sturdy enough. I too have had this experience. The baby always wants to reach the little red bird on the top, but while baby is seated, he really has to reach and sort of yank to get what he wants, and then the whole unit comes tumbling over to the fright of the child.

It's really a shame because it seems like there is a good idea here for a toy but it's executed so poorly on just about every front. At least the animals are cute and the music is good. Not recommended, overall, though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just ok, January 20, 2010

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Rollin' Around Jungle Playground (Toy)

My son got this when he was 6 months old and it basically sat around the house collecting dust until he got to be about 11 months old. The first day we had it he loved the spinner that makes music play and he loved trying to eat the hanging monkey, after that he didn't may any attention to it at all. He played with the animals, basically just chewing on them. It's really cute, but like another reviewer said the animals always get stuck going down the slide, the hole in the tree is really unimpressive, and the animals don't fit right in the merry go round or see saw. My son loves this thing now though, he loves sliding the animals that come with it and other toys like balls and cars down the ramp. I have to give this a 4 star rating because this kid loves it and when I'm looking to buy a toy that's what I want to know, will my kid have fun playing with it? Yes? Then we're good. My opinion of the toy isn't as important as if my son is enjoying playing with it, as long as it's safe and not obnoxious, that is.

3.0 out of 5 stars BORING!, August 9, 2010

We bought this with high hopes...
Like other viewers have pointed out, the animals get stuck going down the slide. They don't fit in the merry-go-round or the see-saw thing and they don't stay up-right very well. The toy is super cute but my daughter loses interest quickly and it is taking up coveted nursery real estate. Bottom line, I don't recommend it.
