Product Description
Amazon.com
Babies will get a real physical and mental workout with this play gym. It's pretty much like all of the other models out there, but its stand-out is its versatility and diversity of features for infants at all stages. A kicking gym for infants is made of attractive objects than spin, light up, and make sounds with each tiny foot-fall. A Ferris wheel loaded with colorful balls spins overhead to create additional interest. Babies who can sit up can spin the Ferris wheel themselves, and watch it release the five balls down a tunneled ramp and out the side of the gym. This in turn sets off music and lights as the balls zip past noisy, spinning obstacles. It's not just fun and games, though: the activities are designed to develop motor skills, cognitive learning, and stimulation of the senses. Diane Beall
Product Description
It's a carnival of encouragement, with a musical ferris wheel that rewards baby for kicking, reaching, sitting, grasping and playing. Overhead gym easily converts to a sit-up play center as baby grows. Both are packed full of fun, with a ball drop activity station, dancing lights, five minutes of lively music, spinners, ball ramps and more. Five colorful balls are included. Like all Baby Playzone toys, the Kick and Whirl Carnival encourages and rewards baby's physical accomplishments with exciting activities that make baby want to try...and try again! Requires 3 "C" alkaline batteries (included).

***WAIT! Give it a little time. Don't give up just yet! ***,
By alicia (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fisher-Price Baby Play Zone Kick & Whirl Carnival (Baby Product)
I bought the toy too. And like the others I wanted to return it as soon as possible! I thought it was broken or something, but ITS JUST FINE. My son is 3 months old and he had a little trouble at first getting the thing to go, but then he got it! He kept kicking it, and it would work. All of the bad reviews, I think, are unfair.
I'm keeping mine now, and maybe the problem is that they put too low of an age group on the toy. Maybe like 3 months and up would be good. I also can't wait until he's old enough to play with the ball part.
The toy is triggered by movement, so if a kid touches it (with enough force) it will go off. My little guy just had to kick a little harder.
My gripes would be...
...that it takes a long time to put together, and the screws don't exactly go in like butter.
...Also, the toy frustrates my boy a little when he doesn't kick it hard enough, and he's waiting for the music.
...It's not heavy enough of a toy to stay in one spot. So if he is pushing instead of kicking, he can easily push the toy out of his reach....no more entertainment.
...The batteries aren't the easiest to change - with like 8 screws to unscrew and a not so easy way to PRY the top off of the battery case.
I like that...
...He can lat there and play with it and then fall asleep because he's worked out.
...He actually has to do something to get rewarded for his movement - not just a tiny tap, but a real movement.
...There are two toys in one - it'll be good for a long time of use.
...He likes the music and movenment of the toys, and they interest him because they look colorful and shapley.
I would probably read the other reviews and never buy this product, but I tried it, like it, and am keeping it. Like I said, it took a little while, but he actually likes it and I have no problem with keeping it.
Good luck!

Good toy, not great,

This review is from: Fisher-Price Baby Play Zone Kick & Whirl Carnival (Baby Product)
What prevents me from giving this 5 stars is the fact that the toys, I believe, hang too high for most babies to kick while on their back. When our daughter was 3-4 months old, she loved laying on her back, kicking at the items hanging from the set, and watching the balls spin while listening to the music. Unfortunately, she had to make many attempts before getting a hit.
Once a child is able to sit up comfortably, this toy becomes much more useful and effective. Our girl now can hit the toys and watch the colors spin, while also pulling at the balls. Even though she's able to move around and explore, this toy can still keep her attention for several minutes at a time. I doubt she'd play with it for more than 10-15 minutes in a row, but I'm also not sure that I want a baby spending more than that much time staring at anything. One other negative - This product doesn't store easily, as it's rather tall. A minor quibble, but one that might be important if space is a consideration.

you people,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fisher-Price Baby Play Zone Kick & Whirl Carnival (Baby Product)
I don't understand you people. It seems to me that you expect a lot more out of a simple child's game. Everything works perfectly on ours.A lot of you complained about it being to loud...what did you expect from a product called the kick and whirl carnival? Some said it sounded to much like a carnival...and again what were you expecting the kick and whirl carnival to sound like!come on. another person said that she figured her 5mo old was trying to kick it away from them... what does a baby try to do to a KICK and whirl carnival. give me a break great product...love it.thank you
