As everyone has already mentioned, it's nearly impossible for my two year old to spin anywhere on this thing, and it takes altogether too much effort. It was interesting for about 5 seconds. And yes, it's WAY too loud, with no volume control, and the audio is extremely annoying. The funny thing is, I only got this because my son enjoyed spinning on his father's electrical wire spool so much. Now I think I'll just buy another wire spool and modify it myself. Total, utter, waste of money.

We bought this for our 3 year old daughter b/c my hubby and I both remember how much we loved having one when we were growning up. This new version is just not the same! The base is barely big enough for her to sit on (and she's VERY petite) and it does not spin as "freely" as the old ones did (probably b/c of all the electronics). The "talking" is pointless...she just wants to try to spin on it, not follow the "Simon Says" directions. I give it 2 stars b/c she LOVES to use it as a stool to sit up to our coffee table and color or use her play laptop.

A really large, battery guzzling music box. Certainly all it's good for. It sits allright! And sits... and sits... no spinning yet to be found and my 23 month old son has poked and prodded it from top to bottom. Too stiff... almost like they went stupid crazy overboard on safety precautions? It'd take a couple of semi trucks and a good sturdy wench to get any action outta this thing. Catchy tunes, though.

This Sit and Spin took several months of waiting before my daughter and son could use it. Unlike the Sit and Spins from the 80's that spun VERY easily and made you ill, this one lacks fun. It's slow and ackward. Both of my kids need us to help spin them, which gets old. I was so disappointed with this product. I assume someone must have gottn hurt on the older models (I KNOW I DID :-) and I think this product reflects too many safety measures. What fun is it if you can't use it?

Very poor quality. Would not recommend. Seat is so small and narrow due to its oval shaped configuration that my thin little two year old daughter hangs off it. It is all very lightweight plastic and easilt turns over and of course she falls off. This is very frustrating to her and to me as well. I would love to return it, but we got it as a christmas present and I don't have the box or receipt. This definitely should be recalled. Who builds this stuff? Remember the old days when the sit n spin had a nice round, heavy base that you could spin real fast for hours. Very, very poor construction and quality!!!

This Sit n' Spin is barely big enough for my 2 and 4 year old to sit on, and they are considered small to average size for their ages. Trying to get it to spin is difficult for young children, since their upper body strength is limited. I would not recommend this product.

The age on this toy starts at 15 months I believe. My son is almost 2 and a half and has just now learned to spin it. It is very difficult and i think that it had to be broken in. My son does love the music but it took forever to get it broken in. Definetely for older stronger kids.

I bought this for my 2 year old when I saw it at the store, remebering how much I liked mine as a child & how fast I could go. Not on this thing! It's oval instead of round so not much room for him to sit, & doesn't turn well at all.

I am suprised at the low reviews... My son got this for his second birthday. We put it together, and I got on it to show him how to use it... after a few tries he had it down. He understands to sit on the star, but even when he is on the short end he is still able to use it. He has a lot of fun spinning and doesn't have any trouble turning it.

I rated this 4 instead of 5 becuase I think the simon says aspect is silly and not age appropriate (at least not for my son yet).

Overall I think this is a really fun toy for my son.

This sit and spin is so incredibly hard to spin on, it is almost impossible!!! My daughter has taken it out maybe 5 times since christmas and is done with it in about 2 minutes!! A complete waste of money!!!!
