My husband plays guitar and my 1 year old loves music of all kinds. So we thought it would be fun to get this toy for my son's first birthday. Unfortunately, he just never got into it. He plays with it sometimes but it just wasn't a big hit.

On the plus side, the buttons are large and easy to push. The toy has a nice handle that makes holding onto it easy for little hands. There is a variety in the music that plays, so I don't get sick of hearing the same tune over and over. Plus, the tunes it does play are jazzy and funky - not your basic lullabys.

On the negative side, there is not much to the toy. There are I think 2 main buttons to push plus a wheel type thing that spins on the side. There are a couple of lights that light up when the buttons are pushed, but that's it. No educational value, and not very fun.

When he first got it, my son pushed the buttons a couple of times, and was happy that he could walk and hold the guitar at the same time with ease. Then he quickly got tired of it and moved on to something else. We were definitely suckered by the fact that the toy is guitar shaped. If it had been any other shape we would never have bought it.

If you really want to introduce to your child a musical kind of toy, with buttons that are easy for babies to push by themselves, I would instead recommend the Alphabet Pal by Leap Frog. It has several different settings, so it teaches colors, songs, letters, and lights up when the string is pulled (great for little walkers!)

I think this guiter seems a fairly inadequate toy, it doesn't really do very much. However, my 1-yr-old REALLY likes it. It has never been his favorite toy, but it is one he always comes back to and has consistently enjoyed since he was about 5 mos. old--whichi is saying a lot for the cost of the toy. I've never had to change the batteries, either.

I purchased this toy for my daughter. Since my husband plays guitar, I thought it would be a cute idea to get my daughter a guitar, too. What a mistake! It worked for about 2 months and then the "strings" stopped playing the music. I thought I needed to change the batteries, that was not the case. After about 2 weeks, the top botton, which makes silly sounds stopped playing. It was useless. It was just a plastic guitar with no sounds! I just threw it away. It was such a waste of money!

my son got this as a gift when he was only 3 months but he loved the music and really loved the lights! now he's all most 9 months and still plays with it. he loves to play with it while his grandfather plays his guitar. it has survied many drops on our ceramic floor from his walker so it's proven to be very durable. plus the batteries last a while, i've only changed them once.

I ordered this for my son because he always tried grabbing his daddy's guitar when he was playing it. I figured that he should have one of his own. After playing with it for a few minutes he hasn't touched it. His grandmother bought him a mini guitar (with no lights, music... just wood and strings) and he likes that more. I don't know if it's just my son that gets bored to easily and wants big boy toys or if everyone will have the same problem. I'd say- give it a try and see if your baby likes it. I'm going to give it a go again and if he still doesn't like it I'll just put it away until later or another baby. Good luck with yours!

This guitar is very nice. It was baught for my nephew, even though he may still be too young for it. It is smaller than i thought, but a good size for 9+ months. Has great sounds, and is quite entertaining :)

My son loves this toy!!! He got it when he was six months old and is now 16 months and he still loves it. My son loves music so he plays it over and over and dances to it. Daddy has a guitar and now he has one too just like daddy.

It's cute. It's not the ultimate toy, after all, it is only $13. But, it does make noise (two options that change loudness and length of song). The sounds are familiar to youngins and they can jam to them. Little kids will like it because they can just hit it or drop it and the music will start again.

I think it is actually quite small, the picture makes it look bigger.

Bonus: They can be rock & roll and annoy their parents! =) JK folks.

My daughter received this when she was 4 months old, and has been fascinated with it for about 5 minutes a day for 4 months now. I don't think the interest will continue much longer, but it's been a good infant toy.

I hate it and my daughter who is 1 year won't even pick it up. The problem is that it barely plays music. When you hit one of the buttons it plays for a matter of seconds, if it lasted longer it would be better. This is a useless kind of toy.
