As previous parents mentioned, this toy was not a big hit during tummy time; my son ignored it when he was really small. I then attached it to his crib figuring at least it looked cute. Then, once he got to be about 5 months old and strong enough to pull the cord, he loved it! He still plays with it all the time and he's a year old now. He loves it when my husband and I try to sing along with the songs.

Got this when my son was about 4 mos, because I wanted something to entertain him in his crib, and he was just getting into mirrors. He's enjoyed the mirror on this one, and he likes to smack the legs to make them swing. At first he liked watching the mouse go around when I pulled the cord, but he got bored with that pretty fast. His favorite thing to do is smack the mirror, I think because it flexes like a funhouse mirror,a lot more than his other mirrors. He hasn't figured out how to pull the cord himself yet, though he certainly pulls on other toys to make them "go". I don't know if it's the design of the handle, the tension on the cord, if he hasn't made the connection that the cord makes the mouse move, or if he just isn't interested. He enjoyed the lights & music for the first couple of months, but after that, didn't pay attention for more than half a minute or so. This toy does stand up on its own as advertised, but tips over easily.

This is just me, but I thought the mirror was fixed and the mouse moved around. Actually, the mouse is glued to the mirror, and the whole mirror turns. When he would try to grab the mouse, he'd hit the mirror, and the mouse would stop -- so it's not really doing what I thought it would do (teach him eye-hand coordination). But it did amuse him for a little while, so I guess that's something.

Overall... it's OK. I feel like it's a bit expensive for the enjoyment my son has gotten out of it - it's just not his thing, while I'd been hoping it would be the new big hit, so I'm a little disappointed. Maybe when he's a little older (he's 7.5 mo now), I'll reintroduce it and see if he'll pull the cord, and maybe that will ignite his interest again?

We lost this toy in a tornado and here I am to buy a replacement! We got this as a gift and I didn't think much of it, but put it in the crib anyway. Well, once my baby figured out how to pull the handle herself at about age 9 or 10 months, she LOVED it. Keeps her in the crib for a few quiet minutes after naptime. Now at age 15 months, she pulls the lever to make me sing the songs to her. Love it!

My son is 13 month old and he still plays with it.

I bought this to encourage more tummy time but my 4 month old doesn't care much for it. It doesn't stand up well and the handle to start the mouse moving is very hard to pull for a baby.
