5.0 out of 5 stars Endless fun and education, November 25, 2006

This review is from: LeapFrog Learn-Around Playground with Tube Topper (Toy)

I got this for my daughter at 8 months and 6 months later she still plays with it everyday. We saw a benefit immediately when she used it for standing. We really feel it helped her with leg coordination and balance.

*** Warning***
This toy is not the most stable when leaned against. We keep it diagnol in a corner so that it can't tip over. This toy has fallen over and backwards on top of our daughter. No harm done, but it does scare her. Even now, if not up against something, she easily pushes it over.

This toy "teaches":
Numbers
Letters
Colors
Opposites
Rhyming
Textures
Cause & Effect
AND MORE.....

My daughter still finds new ways for this toy to entertain her. She loves the music, she loves putting the balls down the slide, she's had phases where she HAS to flip the little "change-mode" book, or she must push down the frog.

I would recommend buying this at 6-10 months and will last a loooong time. I don't see how someone could be disappointed with this toy. It is well worth the money for the hours and hours of "entertainment" (a.k.a. peace and quiet...sort of)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great toy... note recall, though, December 6, 2006

My son loves this toy, and has since about five months. I agree that it can be a little unstable, but at one now he doesn't have a problem with that and loves it still. You should note that there is a recall on this because several children have gotten a bruise by putting their arm in the ball shoot. I got the shoot topper from LeapFrog offered to correct the problem (no problem when I called; arrived quickly), however, once you put it on the ball shoot doesn't work. We haven't put it on since he loves dropping the ball in the shoot so much; we just keep an eye on him. I've never seen him try to put his hand or arm in there.

Actually, not a choking hazard as someone below stated. There's a slot where a child's arm can get stuck. [...]
