1.0 out of 5 stars So much potential, but ultimately, just an obnoxious noisemaker with no educational value, July 24, 2009

This review is from: Fisher-Price Crawl-Along Drum Roll (Toy)

Looking at this toy, I thought it would be perfect. I thought it would be easy to roll, and my son could crawl after it, I thought he could learn cause and effect by hitting the drum and hearing the sound. Neither of these is true. Like so many electronic toys, this distrats the baby (they do love lights and music), but does nothing to engage them. There is NO mode where you can have the baby hit the drums and have it make a single sound for each time it is hit. The minute you touch the top of the drum, it goes into this really long congo-song. Which the baby likes, but it's not the kind of enjoyment that he gets when he is proud of himself for figuring something out--it's too easy, and it just goes on and on, so I don't think he even associates it with the action. If this toy simply had the ability to change modes so he could do hit it and have it make a single sound for each time he hit it, I would give it at least three stars. The rolling is a total disappointment, too. Because of some weighting issues (which I actually think are deliberate), it won't roll more than 1/2 a revolution. And now that my son is crawling, he does love pushing things, having them, roll, then following after, so I can't see why they would have designed it this way. overall, this is not at all what I had hoped for, and went to the trash. I categorize this as a TV toy: distracting, but not engaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does your baby like to hit?, August 20, 2007

I bought this for my son who is just starting to sit up on his own for longer than 5 minutes and who likes to hit. When I put this in front of him, and the lights started flashing and the music began to play, his face turned to immediate concentration. This is the first time I've seen him look this way since he was trying to figure out his pesky hands and arms a couple of months ago. He loved it! For a parent who really loves music and wants to share that with their child, this is one of the more fun musical instrument toys out there for this age-range. I know he doesn't quite get what he's doing, but the joy on his face is enough for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inspiration for a beginning crawler., June 24, 2007

When my brother-in-law and his family came to visit for Father's Day, they brought this toy for their 6-month-old to play with. My 5-month-old absolutely loved it, and the two babies enjoyed it together the entire weekend. It was definitely their favorite toy (by far). The best part is the way it can be configured either as bongos, for play, or as one rolling piece, which encourages them to follow and crawl. It lights up and makes noises that delight the little guys. I was amazed how much inspiration it gave my 5 month old, who showed pretty much NO interest in crawling prior to this. It's a great toy! As soon as they left, I had to buy one for my son!
