3.0 out of 5 stars Needs supervision, February 23, 2007

My 1-year-old daughter loves her ball popper toy, and when we received this as a gift, I thought this would be great. And she does enjoy it. It makes cute noises, and she loves to feed it the balls and watch them go around. She also likes to push the button on the giraffe's head to make him play sounds.
There are a few problems with it, though, causing me to rate it at 3 stars.
One is that the balls don't always go into the giraffe's mouth easily -- you have to get them just right, or they stick, and little baby hands don't always get them in there just right. This is frustrating for her.
Second, when she tries to pull up to standing on it, it tips. Not all the way over, and if she was pulling from her knees, it might not be a problem, but she's pulling from a seated position, and it keeps wanting to tip, which makes me nervous.
Thirdly, the balls don't always emerge fully from the tunnel, so they "disappear." At this age, she doesn't understand that sometimes she needs to fish the balls out, so I have to get them for her.
It's an entertaining toy, but I would prefer something that doesn't require so much adult intervention/supervision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ball toy we have had so far!!!!!!!!, July 22, 2007

The problem with most ball toys is that if you get something stuck in it you can't ever get it out. And if you loose the balls the toy is unusable because no other balls will work with it. Not so with this! You can use just about any ball with it. It only comes with 3 balls, so right away we rounded up every ball in the house. We have about 20 of them going and it makes it so much fun. I'm not uptight about loosing these balls because I can go buy some ping pong balls if I need to.

As far as what the other reviewers said, it does take good coordination to put the balls in the mouth. My son got this for his 1st birthday and it took a day of practice to get good at putting the balls in. Smaller balls make it easier. If your child doesn't have good coordination then they may get frustrated. On the other hand it may improve their hand eye coordination.

It is really cute and plays cute music my son likes to dance to. My 3 year old is enjoying it too. Like I said it's the best ball toy we have had over the years. I have had to toss all the others out because you can not buy replacement balls for any of them, including the ball popper. But this one will last.

Update: Still love it but check out my review on the Fisher-Price Go Baby Go Sit-to-Crawl Polar Coaster

I thought my 9 month old would love this since he really likes other toys with balls (drop and roll dino, busy ball popper). But he has shown very little interest in this one.

The balls are too hard to get in the mouth (there is resistance; hard for a baby). Also, he loses interest even if he does get the balls in the mouth - seems to be because the balls don't always come out the same exit. While I thought the fact that they are random would be fun, he doesn't like it. He's just now learning cause and effect so the randomness doesn't interest him; it's not repeatable.

As for a toy to use while standing, I've found it not stable enough since it tends to tip. And he has trouble pulling himself up - the handles are awkward to get to so he pulls at the ball track. Once standing he finds it awkward to reach around the base to get the balls after that.

This is one toy I wish I hadn't spent the money on. On the plus side, my dog seems to enjoy it - she's figured out how to set off the music by pressing the button on the nose with her chin.
