Editorial Review

There are loads of toys on the market today that feature soothing classical music designed to put a baby's mind at ease while stimulating their cultural intellect. This is not one of those toys. And perhaps that's one of the reasons why we love it so much. The drum contains three hard plastic balls, which can be removed from an opening in one end. But whenever anything passes through that opening, a cartoonesque sound effect plays. Tilt the entire drum and a festive silly song plays. There are two volume settings as well as, mercifully, an off setting. Thanks to a curved lining inside, the balls will roll out on their own when the drum is rolled across the floor. We noticed one minor flaw, however: the opening is large enough for a baby to reach in to grab a ball, but too small for a baby's clenched fist, containing the ball, to come back out. Still, this is a fun and silly toy that made our 10-month-old tester literally dance with joy. --John Moe

The Playzone Crawl Along Drum Roll was not something I necessarily wanted in my home. I tried to keep all of the electronic toys at bay, hoping my child would grow up around developmental toys that didn't make noise.

After receiving this drum for Christmas, I changed my mind. He absolutely loves the flashing lights, and the tune is VERY catchy. I've seen my husband be-boppin' along to the music.

The drum has an Off/Low/High volume control, which every parent can appreciate. It comes with three balls, to boost your child's put-and-take ability, and as he places the ball inside, the drum makes a kooky sound to let you know it's gone in.

This toy is very helpful to those of us who have babies who are apprehensive about crawling, because it encourages them to move around the floor by playing the music only when it is touched.

The Playzone Crawl Along Drum Roll is definitely worth the small price. It will last for a long time, too.

I had bought the Crawl-along drum roll for my 6 month old daughter. Wow! Her eyes light up with amazement! She can't get enough of it. And the good thing is.....it will last her through several stages! Right now she watches the lights, pushes it around and listens to the music. But within a month she will be crawling with it and a few months after that she will be putting the balls in the container and so on....Well worth the money for 5 months on up. I give this one a BIG THUMBS UP!!

My son loves this toy:) My son is 2 1/2 & he enjoys rolling it to mom. We have a special game, when no balls roll out we all cheer!! When the balls roll out we say "AAhhh". We have loads of fun. This toy is educational, because it teaches a child to dump the balls out (cause & effect), it teaches a child to roll, and it even teaches a child to roll with his foot the beinning steps to kicking a ball(Gross Motor & fine motor)!
You can even be silly by dancing with the music.(auditory)(pretend play) Oh, by the way this toy is very durable. We have a very steep stairway with hard wood floors, no carpet & my son through it down the stairs several times & it still works great! (cost efficient)
This is a grow with child toy & for such a great price!!!
