My daughter is 11 months old and giggles and squeals in delight with this toy. The one drawback is that she is pulling her self up and when she does that on this toy it falls over. If the toy falls over while it is on then the balls will shoot out at you. It is kind of funny but not really if it hits your kid. This is a hilarious toy and I highly recommend it.

My daughter got this toy for Christmas and generally it's a lot of fun for her. She likes the music and the balls popping up, even my husband gets in on the playing action but I hate the fact that the balls go flying all over the place and I am forever hunting them down. It's not a toy that my daughter can play with while I cook dinner because the balls go everywhere and then the "magic" is gone. Also, we sometimes have the balls going back up the ramp instead of out the top. I'm not sure I would buy it for someone else given the balls going everywhere.

We bought this toy again for our new little one. From the time she could just watch the balls go everywhere til she could chase them and put them back in, it is just a fun toy. Pros: The music is fast and exciting and not to annoying. It gives my two older children a way in which to really 'play' with their little sister. The only drawback is that my dog loved the ballgame also and we think ate the balls. I am not sure on that one. : ) Cons: No replacement balls. I haven't found a way to just order balls for this machine so after you lose the balls it is just a musical air machine (which still seems to amuse her and her father). But I have tried the yellow nerf balls to go in there which works okay but need to try wiffle golf balls next. Overall: It is a fun toy and for uner $20 I should probably ignore the principal and just buy another one.

I bought this for my daughter last Christmas when she was 6 months old. She's 16 months old now, and this toy has only gained popularity with her in the last year. Her big sisters are 4 and 6, and they love to play with her. It's also my 2 year old nephew's favorite thing to play with when he comes to visit, much to my brother's dismay since our version is pink! The toy is full of get up and move fun and seems to get our girls overflowing with giggles. We've given it as a gift for a few first birthdays, and it's always a hit.

I bought this for my 12-month-old and it is fun, but the blower inside the toy goes a little haywire sometimes and shoots the balls out of the top of the machine with too much force, sending them flying all over the room. It seems to work best with only two balls, which I'm sure we'll be down to soon as the others go missing under the furniture. Overall, it is a neat toy, but could have a better design.

We got this for my daughter when she was 9 months old. At first she was not that interested in it. But as the months past this became one of the best purchases we ever made. When she learned how to press the button to turn it on she was so excited. She would clap along with the music. She loved watching the balls pop out, she learned how to turn the toy sideways so it would shoot them across the room.

Later she loved the balls themselves. One of her most proud moments around 16 months was when she learned how to pick up two balls with one hand. She would pick up both balls and walk across the room to show us, and then she would do it again.

The only downside is that it requires 4 D-batteries and is kind of an energy killer. When the battery gets low the balls only rise to the surface instead of popping up in the air. Also, I wish there was a volume control because this toy is SO LOUD. Eventually I got the genius idea to tape over the speaker which severely muted the sound. It is still loud enough for her to enjoy it but not loud enough to penetrate through a closed bedroom door like it did originally...

I ordered this yesterday and it arrived today!!!! : )Bonus, I did not pay for next day shipping. This toy does not look all that fun for parents but it is a must have for every child. They just go bonkers. It is incrediable to watch and more than likely you are gonna want to pull out the video camera. From one parent to another buy replacment balls when you purchase this. You will need them. They are like Binkis or socks, you don't know where they went or how they got there but you will never see them again. some down sides are the toy is loud between the fan and the songs. I have not found a volume button on mine. I'am pretty sure it don't exsist. how much your child will love this toy more than makes up for the loud noises.

We bought this for our daughter last Christmas. She was 7 months old. She loved playing with it and watching the balls pop. Her siblings loved to chase after the balls that popped farther than she could reach. Our problem with it was the little slide that caught the balls and returned them to the bottom of the ball popper was constantly falling off. I got so tired of fixing it 5-10 times a day, that I just ended up putting it away.

My son has the "boy" version of this. LOVE IT! It's a little loud, but he's been playing with it from 10 mnths old - 3 years old.

I bought this for my niece for her 1st birthday. Out of everything she got this is by far her favorite! 6 months later and her mommy tells me she still cant get enough of it and shes had to replace the batteries in it she plays with it so much!!! I have a 2 month old baby girl now and as soon as shes big enough to play with it I will be buying her one of her own!!
