Will this toy replace parenting my 2 month old? His constant clamoring for attention cuts into my "me time," and I want a mini-TV for him to stare at.

Sadly, this product will not fully replace parenting, since your child will likely need feeding, bathing, and changing on a regular basis. It will, however, fill that constant, annoying need for attention, especially if you are willing to invest 20 minutes or so up front in making a video of yourself "interacting" with your child. Then you need only play it on a loop, and you can spend more time on yourself while your baby, none the wiser, basks in the luminescent glow of your "attention". It's a win-win!

No, you will still have to occasionally feed him and change his diaper once in a while. But I'm pretty sure Fisher Price is working on a product to automate those chores too.

Yes, he will be just like the fat people in WALL-E. No parent wants less than that. I can't believe a product like this exists!!

If you're looking for hands-off parenting, this is definitely the way to go. I bet you could get through a whole bottle of wine and a full season of Sixteen and Pregnant.

Yes! That's the best part! This little item actually prepares your baby as early as possible to benefit from your negligent parenting style! No more will kids grow up to be stunned by having their desire for parental interaction passed off onto a media device. Now they'll grow up actually expecting it! In fact, it's so effective the kids (however many there are...who can keep track, amiright) won't ever bother you. Ever. Enjoy!

The next version will itself be web-enabled so you activate it or even adjust it remotely.

Yes unfortunately. It's the cutest little set but my 19 mo has little interest. It still so cute that I don't regret the purchase though!

Unfortunately I am not in contact at the moment with my grandbabies. I hear it is a great busy hands toy. I am hoping to get our legal rights filed. She is an AMAZING and SMART little girl! And if your son doesn't take to the toy, you can always return it. Best wishes to you and your family!

This became an issue for us once our kids were old enough to do a chore chart...we've now gone to a once a month reward system...and we've made it a choice between a small (10 dollars or less) toy or other non-toy things (day trip to the aquarium, pick your favorite dinner, etc).

My daughter is 9 months old... I got it for her about a month ago... She likes to take them off the stick and chew on them. She shakes the red one.. But that's about it... At 4 months my daughters favorite toys were baby Einstein balls.. She still plays with them. They are around the same price too.. If she doesn't have them yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G8QSXU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418260013&sr;=8-1π=AC_SY200_QL40#immersive-view_1418260022524

My son is 2 1/2 and he absolutely LOVES this toy! He cooks on the stove top and make mommy soup all the time! I took video footage of mine so you could see it! Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hih_ZtJmyRE

My 2 year old nephew plays with it a little when he comes over but my 15 month old son is already starting to lose interest. It was the perfect toy when he was 6 months to a year. He definitely still plays with it now it's not quite as interesting as it used to be. I would suggest something more advanced for a 2 year old. Hope this helps.

That all depends on your child. My son is 19 months and plays with this toy for a few minutes (5-10) at a time throughout the day. When he loses interest, I put it in the closet for a week or so and then bring it back out. It does take up a lot of floor space.

We're parents, and we thought he was entertaining. My 3 year old loves him and can steer him very easily. I'd think that a 5-6 year old might want something a little more advanced, but for 2-4, this is great (and it's sturdy!)

My daughter has enjoyed it since she was 3 months and is now 6 months and the way she plays with it has evolved. I think this is a toy she will continue to play with for a long time. We have purchased 2, because we thought we lost one and this one really is the Go-to toy for her car seat and when she is sitting. I know your comment is from MONTHS ago, but responding to help others wondering the same thing. :-) Btw, we purchased the 2nd one at 6 months of age and it even cost more than the first one...so, I think a 6 month will enjoy!

Mine played for about 20 minutes. But the sound was too electronicky for our taste. High pitched and annoying. Why would you want it longer? The baby liked it though along with the lights. We could only stand one round of the music and only for a few werks. Luckily baby got it that the bassinet was for sleeping so the music was no longer needed. I wanted to throw this thing at the wall so many times.

My two year daughter stills plays with it since it is on the floor of her brother's nursery. Lol! It is quite entertaining watching a toddler acting like a baby swatting at the jingle bird. :) I wonder if she remembers it from when she was a baby?

you can control it with the app yes...that whole toy creeps me out, but my son loved it. it talks and sleeps and learns

Hey there mine works this way too.. Probably children only like to listen to certain part of nursery song as if the full song keep repeating they will get bored even faster to the song and therefore the toy too.. The trigger is just like a spring like toy for kids to play only..

I actually bought it for him to help sooth too for he had a different small toy that vibrated only for a second. It is one of those things that you will just have to try for each little independent guy and see if it helps.
