This is one of our 16 month old son's favorite toys for the past year. We introduced it when he was less than 3 months old, when he would lie on his back and kick the moving parts, also lie on his tummy and look into the mirror. When he could sit up, we set the toy up like a table for him to play with. Now that he's walking, we have it hanging from a child gate, and he spends a lot of time playing with it standing up. Since the toy is two sided, he loves playing with both sides from opposite ends of the gate. The two sidedness was very useful when he was smaller, too - we would flip it over every week or so, and he behaved like he was given a brand new toy every time. This, and the Munchkin Mozart Cube are two toys that he has played with every day without fail for over a year and our favorite gift to friends with newborns. I can't say enough good things about this toy. It's wonderful!

Son has since outgrown..but from a very young age loved playing with this, and as motor skills grew, the toy presented new opportunities. Feet are reversible, so one side is for really small kids and the other for older kids (up to around 3 and a half). Perhaps a little overpriced, but proved to be very durable.

This toy has been great. The two sides offer a ton of different things my son can play with. He loves the little stuffed toy that pops out of the center and will open and close it's door for hours. It also offers different "activities" that infants can play with as they develop. My son would spend more time with one piece of the toy for awhile and as he got older would start playing with other pieces more. It definitely grows with them. My son is 11 months now and has been playing with this since about 5 months.

This toy has both good and bad features. The colors and activities are good, but it would be nice to find a toy that does not have flashing lights. In low light, it's a strobe light and, in my opinion, too bright for any benefit gained. In fact, am wondering what the benefit really is in so many toys having the flashing light features....this seems to be the trend in toys available today. Anyone out there know the answer to this?

My daughter really enjoys this toy and plays with it every day. It seems like a simple toy, but that may be the best thing about it. I would say it is one of the best buys I made as far as baby toys. One thing I didn't expect were the great music buttons on the other side. That part of the center is sort of like a Mozart Music Cube, only better (even though there are only three instruments).

We tried this in the crib at first, it was so big and bulky. We then moved it to the floor, that works much better. The squeaker just went out on it but everything else works great. It keeps her interest for awhile and she plays with it daily at 8 months old.

My three month old loves it! I first put it in his crib at 2 1/2 months and his face lit up and he immediately reached for it. I usually hit the smiley face which plays a melody and he spins the two wheels and stares at himmself in the mirror. He used to fuss when he woke up and could not reach it but now he can move over to it himself. He can play with this for up to half hour before wanting to move on to another distraction. There are two things I wish it had - a remote so I don't to continuously reach in to hit the smiley face (though this is meant for the baby to activate he is still not physically able to do this himself) and changing melodies (it plays the same melody over and over) and although my son does not mind, it can drive a parent up a wall. I also love the fact that it is two-sided toy and will grow with him. All in all a great item, I highly recommend.
