My son loved this toy from the moment he got it. He was about eight months old and we were driving across the country. Everytime he started to get fussy I would give him the giggle kitty and it would make him laugh. Listening to it for hours in the car was a bit rough on me, but it was better than him crying! he also liked to chew on the ears and feet. It stood up to the abuse quite well :) He plays with it less now, but it was a great gift!

The meowing sound is cute, I don't find it annoying like some toys. My baby also get excited when it starts to vibrate and tries to pick it up. It is a little heavy but hey babies need a challenge. The feet are soft and my baby seems to enjoy chewing on it's ears.

This review is from: Bounce & Giggle Kitty (Toy)

This toy rattles and shakes and makes a little bit of noise.

Our Physical Therapist suggested we buy it for our baby as a way to get some sensory input for him. He was very attracted to toys that vibrate and this one was easy for him to manipulate. The large heart shaped button was easy for little fingers to push.

This toy did what it was supposed to do for our son.

It was very sturdy and withstood some high falls from high chairs and cribs. It is cute and typically generated some smiles from my baby.

However, having said all of that- it is this type of toy that I try to stay away from in general. This toy does basically one thing- you push a button and it makes some noise and lights up. In this case it also shakes. But it really does not encourage exploration of the world around. It also isn't really educational. (Except in our case where it gave my baby some needed sensory stimulation and was suggested by a therapist.)

I also found that in time it became annoying because it made the same noises all the time. As my baby grew older he outgrew the need for this type of stimulation and quit playing with this toy.

Overall, I believe it's a cute toy and if your child will play with it then great. However, I would suggest some of the other toys available that are equally cute and much more longer lasting before you buy this one.
