Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The V-Tech Sit to Stand Dancing Tower features an innovative design that will grow with your child. Four different play modes help babies 9 months and up develop motor skills and learn colors, sounds, and animals.

Innovative Grow-With-Me Design
Baby might leave other toys behind as they grow up, but the Dancing Tower grows along with your child. Keep the Dancing Tower close to the floor for sitting play, then raise it when the baby is ready to stand up and dance. The panel can be used alone for floor play, or add the trunk pieces at two different levels as baby grows.

Dancing Tower makes each play experience fun. View larger.

Features grip handles and motion-activated music.

Baby can step on the Dancing Tower's dancing pads while bouncing to motion-activated music. The grip handles are easy for little fingers to clutch and provide something for baby to hold as they try to stand. The dancing bear moves to the music and amuses baby. A rotating microphone and sliding symbols add to the fun. Additionally, the Dancing Tower has a volume control switch to keep the noise at a tolerable level for parents. This toy takes four AA batteries (not included).

Excellent Learning Tool
The Dancing Tower is not only loads of fun, it is also an important learning tool. Using innovative technology, the Dancing Tower makes each play experience fun while developing baby's mental and physical abilities. Tummy Time sings as the baby plays with the top activity panel. Five light up piano keys help baby learn colors, instruments, animals, and styles of music. (Please note: this product includes screws, so for your baby's safety do not let him or her play with the toy until it is fully assembled.)

What's in the Box
Dancing bear, electronic activity panel, 2 connecting trunk pieces, 2 base halves, 3 screws, 2 dancing platforms, and user manual.

I purchased this along with boxes of other items from Amazon during their holiday sale of up to 75% off toys. UPS showed up with about 6 boxes of toys and this little item is one of my sons favorite.

There is little educational value with this toy and is meant more for keeping your little one occupied than to teach him the inner workings of cause and effect as most toys try to pander to a child's learning stage.

Essentially it is a steering wheel on a pedestal with lights, muffled voice, and a dancing bear.

Interaction is through levers, buttons, and of course the rolling noisy hamster cage. Battery life is unknown though we are still on the original Duracells in the unit since Christmas.

Safety:

The unit is pretty sturdy and seems to hold up well with the abuses of my son as he has a tendency to rather take things apart to see how what makes them tick vs. just playing them them. I see a Craftsman tool set in his not to far off future. No small items to swallow an nothing appears to be weak enough to break off. So far it has held up nicely.

The main safety issue would be the handles on each side. Because of the height and because the handles are closed loops a child can easily slide their arm in there and if they lost their balance as happens often with infants they could end of dangling from the handle with just there arm lodged in there with there body weight pulling on the them. Best advise to not leave your infant along with this toy for even a second.

The toy has a small footprint so taking up much real estate in the loft is not a problem and the unit stores easily while not in use though or course when we are about to move it our little one picks that moment to play with it.

Overall a nice little toy for the infant in your life.

This review is from: Vtech - Sit-to-Stand Dancing Tower (Toy)

My daughter got this toy when she was 7 months, she loved it then and she loves it now (12 months). She play with it so often it stays in our family room. When friends come over with there kids, some older (up to 6 years old) it's the first thing they go for.

My daughter loves to yell into the mic to hear herself and when the bear starts dancing around she loves to grab him and it has yet to break.

All around I say this has been a great toy that not only brings her fun but us joy when we watch her dance and hear her "sing"

Santa brought this last year for my then-9-month-old daughter, and it was an instant favorite. As she grew, we adjusted the height of the tower. She's a little tall for it now, but she still enjoys playing with it. I am most impressed with the durability of this tower. My daughter takes out some aggression on the poor dancing bear, but the bear just keeps on dancing! We have encountered no issues with the toy's performance, even after considerable abuse by a playful toddler. I highly recommend it!
