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.

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!

I bought this toy second hand at a baby resale shop (side note: If you haven't checked out any resale shops, you definitely should! They have nice "like new" items for a fraction of the cost!) when my daughter was almost 6 months old. She began crawling when she was about 5.5 months old and when she turned 6 months, she started to pull herself up on everything! We didn't own many toys before this one so I wasn't sure how she would like it. From the moment we brought it home it has captured her attention! She is now 8 months old and still loves to pull up on it and play with it.
My thoughts on this toy:

-The songs are kind of annoying, but aren't all baby songs? :)
-The dancing bear is cute and gets her interested in the toy.
-I also love that it lights up. Babies love toys with lights!
-The microphone actually amplifies sound so it is another added bonus!
-Two babies can use it at the same time.
-The Level 2 height is perfect for an old/taller baby that wants to play!

All in all I love this toy for her and if you're considering purchasing, do it!

My twin girls love this toy. I bought it for them when they first learning to stand and really liked that we could adjust the height so that they could hold on it and learn to pull up. Once they were really pulling up we raised it and they use it to cruise. They love, love, love the microphone on it and laugh at each other "talking" into it. I think they will continue to enjoy this toy in the future as they start to learn the songs and to dance along with them. My only complaint is that the top rotates about a quarter turn and can be a little unstable when they are holding on.

this toy is not worth the money i paid for it... very cheap... wouldn't suggest having a baby playing with it because it can easily tip over.

This toy is awesome. I enjoy the flashing lights, and how the bear dances around, and how the mic will amplify the child's voice if spoken into. My daughter highly enjoys playing with it, and she's 9 months old. She yanks on the bear and it still hasn't broken. There's different settings you can turn it to, and there's many different songs and activities available on one toy. The only problem I have with it is that it's not very sturdy. My daughter is a bit on the reckless side, and she's tipped it over several times, once on top of her. All it takes is grabbing one of the handles and slamming herself to the floor.

My 1 year old son is always singing and dancing with this thing. The microphone leads for hours of laughter for the entire family.

This is a cute toy. I bought this for my daughter last Christmas. She enjoyed playing with it and dancing to the music. My only complaint is that it broke today, so it didn't last a year.

This is the best toy ever. My Grandson is just over 1 year old. He has been playing with this toy for the last 6 to 8 months. At this age he has tried his hardest to break it, and can not. It has helped him learn to balance and walk and it is very safe. Great job and THANK YOU ! ! !
