I purchased these bongos for my 2 1/2 year old son for Christmas because he is fascinated with music. He loves to drum along with Quincy on the Little Einsteins but he has a heavy hand... he has already punched a hole through one side. Be forwarned to use a gentle touch or a light tapping from a toy drumstick, otherwise you will be searching for a way to repair the bongos like I am.

These bongos look really nice, but do not have a great sound. They do not "pop" with a bright happy bongo sound, but have a rather dull "thud" sound - pretty disappointing. I was hoping to get a really distinctive sound from this product. They are very heavy and small, too.

Purchased this for my two year old nephew and he loves it, however, it's not the best quality. But what can you expect for the price? They're inexpensive. The middle connection is loose after about 3 months, but it's still very functional. They don't sound the greatest, so if you're expecting anything other than a children's toy, spend a little bit more money.
Keep out of reach of dogs though. Many will lick and chew the leather/rawhide drum tops and ruin them.

Bought this for my grandson, age 2. He's probably too young for it, but he saw them on Sesame Street and wanted to beat on a drum too. The drum head is paper, and he broke through it within a month. I'll try to replace that with something more durable. The sound wasn't all that great, either.

I was shocked at how poorly made and cheap this "bongo" set was. It didn't make any musical sound when tapped on. It's just paper glued on cheap wooden cups. Definitely skip these, it's terrible.

These are much more durable than I expected them to be. Fun to play with for my son and myself. Great accompanyment to Hand,Hand,Fingers,Thumb!
The base is heavy wood so if dropped on a foot it would really hurt.

these are very pretty and sturdy. Our 10 month old finds them to be a bit heavy, but i think as he gets older he will enjoy them more. UPDATE: its been a year and we finally broke one of the top drum covers. I still think these are great - and we were pretty rough with them. I will probably use gaffers tape to fix the rip.
