I gave this toy to my 18 mo. old grandson. I don't think I have ever heard him laugh so hard. When that clown poped up he just started laughing and jumping up and down. This toy is priceless. He carries it every where with him. He like that he can turn the handle himself. What a great toy!

The toy is cute and fun and my daughter loved it, but unfortunately it stoped working for no apparent reason after a few weeks--Jack became stuck and no longer popped up.

I bought this for my one year old for Christmas and he hasn`t put it down since! Great fun to play peek a boo with.

My son is 13 months and plays with it lots. He cant turn it to make jack pop yet but he still enjoys the other features (horn to beep, mirror on bottom and toy to turn)

Babies like to pick things up...then they throw them. This jack-in-the-box is just about the right size for a baby to have fun. I always feel anxious when she drops it on her leg or foot, but she never gets injured. The face isn't threatening and the crank is easy to turn. My daughter likes the button on the back that squeaks. The star on the front makes a ratcheting sound and there is a mirror on the bottom.

I bought this toy USED for my son when he was one year old; it was in perfect working condition. He loved the surprise of the clown popping out of the box! He also peeked at himself in the mirror, "beeped" the horn, and spun the clicking star. The handle made it easy for him to pick up and bring to us when he wanted to see the clown pop out. Now, he is two, and it is still a big hit because he is finally able to operate the entire toy by himself. It has been over a year since we bought it (second hand!), and it is still in perfect working condition. I would recommend this to any mom who is looking for a first jack in the box for her baby or toddler--the most ideal time to teach cause and effect.

Our first purchase of this toy resulted in an exchange for another one the same day--it stopped working (playing music) after a few times of using it! Our second one however continues to work after several weeks. As another reviewer has mentioned, this toy plays an odd song for a jack-in-the-box, but still holds the attention of my 12 mo old. Although he is not yet able to effectively turn the knob yet, he still enjoys watching the head pop when we play with it, and he likes to play with the other sections of the toy.

This toy is very cute but it stopped working after one week. The handle was also very hard to turn to get the music to play. This was a real waste of money.

Even though This Old Man is a weird song for a jack-in-the-box, it is a great toy. For younger children (6mos-11mos)this toy isn't as intense as the metal jack-in-the-boxes. It is also a great teaching tool as they learn to push down his hat. Has provided great smiles since Christmas.

We have owned this Jack in the box for about a month and a half. The music has already stopped working and we didn't even play with it on a daily basis, much less on a weekly basis. I wouldn't recommend this toy.
