My daughter just received this baby grand piano from her grandparents as a baptism present. She is 10 months old and really seems to like it. The piano does so many things and I forsee her having a lot of fun with it and am happy that I suggested it for a present. The reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that my daughter, who is just learning to stand and cruise, stood up with the piano and she must of put to much weight towards the middle of the piano, while I was reaching for the camera, because the piano tobbled end over end with her following it. The piano started to do the same thing right after that when she tried to stand. She wasn't hurt, more scared then anything, but I would have thought it would be sturdy enough to handle her putting a little weight in the middle of it. I still recommend the piano, but stay within hands reach if your baby can't walk and keep themselves fairly steady on their own.

We got this toy as a gift for my daughter's first birthday. The piano is great except for one thing. Little hands get stuck in the slot the sun moves in. The sun moves from side to side during certain songs, and my daughter and her friends love to grab at it when it starts doing this. Inevitably, someone's hand always gets pinched and makes them start crying/screaming. If Fisher Price ever redesigns this toy, I would recommend removing the sun from the toy or making it where it's immobile. I know this will probably not make the toy as fun, but safety comes first in my book. I give it three stars because of this hazard.

This is one of the best toys I've ever seen. I don't care for most of the newfangled plastic, electronic toys...most of them are junk. This one, however, is well-designed and will entertain a baby as well as even a 5 or 6 year old, in my opinion. I used to teach music at the elementary school level, and I think my kindergarteners and first-graders would have loved it.

The controls are all easy enough to operate that even a 9-month-old (the suggested earliest age) can operate them easily...none of them require too much strength or dexterity, for instance.

It teaches real musical concepts (high vs low, fast vs slow, etc) and has an actual, properly-working piano keyboard. The keys work like a real piano's does; if I press down 2 or 3 or 4 keys, they will all sound together, and the sound quality is like an actual piano, not a buzzy toy. There are so many different modes (there are three main modes, but when you turn the music "page" it brings up different sub-modes) so there are many different ways to play with this toy. My kid has played with this for 2 months, and I'm still discovering new functions on it.

I like the piano so well that I am pretty vigilant about not letting my baby "pull up" on it...I want the toy still working when he's 3 or 4. :) If you are assembling this for a baby, I would recommend waiting to install the legs until your child is through with the "pulling-up" phase. Durability may be the only weakness of this toy; nothing has broken on mine, but I could see where if an aggressive toddler say, tipped it over and stepped on the music stand part, that might break off or something.

On the whole, though, I LOVE this toy! Music teacher approved!

My one-year-old got this for her birthday and it was an instant hit. (We haven't had any trouble with pinched fingers, so I'm going to have to check that out. I'm having a tough time picturing how that could happen. Poor kiddos!) I like that you can set the piano to play music notes, colors, or solfeggio. Our five-year-old is even enjoying playing all of the songs and practicing her piano skills! I would highly reccommend this toy- it seems a little pricey, but it totally worth it because of all the features!

We just purchased this for our 9 month old's first Christmas gift. I'm glad we got it out and tried it out before Christmas eve, because we received one that the last 3 keys on it didn't work. But Amazon quickly got another one right out to us and provided a great no hassle return for the other.
Our little girl loves this piano!! She is in the pulling up/standing stage right now, and it provides great activity for that as well as she can stand up to it and walk around it with lots of fun things to do!
As a pianist and musician myself, I am very impressed with the variey of activities it offers and concepts being taught that they child won't even realize she is being "taught"!-such as tempo, pitch, etc.

My 14 year old son even likes to sit and play with it!
I could go on and on about it; so I'll just conclude with saying how much we like this product and are so glad we got it. We only learned of it after seeing it in a Fisher Price brochure; I have not seen it in a store, so knew I could count on Amazon to have it!

My 8 month old twins love playing with this, I just wish they would learn to share it! My son pulls up on it, and a few times has pulled it over on him, that it the only reason I gave it 3 stars. Otherwise it holds their attention for a long time, and they love banging on it and "singing" along.

I bought this for my 18 month old daughter and she loves to sit and play with the piano. She even sings along. My daughter has many Fisher-Price toys that play music that keep her entertained.

My son loves this. He will crawl over to it and start playing on the keys. After he plays with the keys, he then eats the keys. Then he pulls himself up to the sun and plays with the sun. After he eats the sun, then he grabs at the other items on the piano. I think I get more fun out of watching him then he does playing/eating the piano.

We bought this toy before reading the reviews and my daughter (7M) was immediately in love with this thing. She stood up for the first time the very first day and two weeks later she still can't get enough of this thing. After reading the reviews, I inspected the toy and don't see how it is possible that her fingers can get stuck anywhere. Perhaps they changed the design. That said, she did pulled the table over on top of herself once when she was trying to pull herself up on it. the accident, which didn't hurt her, was my fault, I should have been sitting closer to her to help revent it...as the toy was not built for this. The last few days she has been standing and leaning on it a lot and it seems very sturdy. I would highly recommend this toy to my friends.

I would definitely say that this is one of my daughter's favorite toys and it has been since she got it months and months ago.

Some of the reviews note that the piano can easily topple over. Well if your kiddo is not good at standing, pulling up to stand, cruising, etc yet, and you can't be there by their side the whole time, the legs come off. Your kiddo can use it that way. When they become pros at standing, cruising, walking, etc you can put the legs back on and it will not be a problem at all as it is a pretty stable toy.

It is really tons of fun. I've seen kids of a wide variety of ages enjoying it. The toy has features built in so everyone from a young infant to an older toddler can enjoy it. I highly recommend it.
