My son likes it... Mommy wishes he didn't!

I'm not one to get easily annoyed by toys that make noise, but this toy just drives me crazy! My 9 month old son has a blast with it, so that overpowers all, but just WARNING to those of you sensitive to the really annoying kid toys. The woman's voice that they used for this is a very cheesy voice, and some of the things she will say when your child hits a button don't make any sense as far as the learning aspect of this thing goes. For example, in one of the corners of the table, there is a litte "book" that has one page you can turn. When it is turned on one page, the voice says "It's time to play!" and everything your child does on the table will be silly sounds and music related. When it is turned to the other page, she says "It's time to learn!" and as your child bumps things, she will randomly say "Yellow Square!" or "Red Circle!" when there is no yellow square or circle to be seen that would make any sense to your child. (The shapes they are referring to are really tiny and on the pages of this said book, not like a button shaped like a square or circle that tells you what it is.) Overall, yes, my son thinks the balls falling into the little hole at the top and coming out the legs is a fascinating feature, he dances to the music, and gets really excited with this toy, so it works for entertainment purposes, just be aware of ONE, if you are looking for an educational toy, this one is silly in that department, and TWO, this woman's voice will just make you want to "lose" the batteries. hah.

Only had it for a few weeks, but works well. Plus, my toddler can be independent when it comes to hand washing. It is easy and "fun". However, the music is quite obnoxious to me and loud. It scared my toddler when it went off. Glad I can turn it off!

I bought this for my 19 month old son a few months ago and he's barely used it.  He'll get on it and then almost immediately get off it.  He's above average height and weight but his feet don't really reach the ground if he's sitting in the back so he ends up sliding to the front right behind the handle bars.  Even there his feet keep hitting the back wheels when he tries to use it.  Watching him use it he looks like he's walking with a really uncomfortable piece of plastic stuck between his legs.  After he gets on it he'll walk around uncomfortably for maybe a minute, usually less, and then get off so he can move around faster and more comfortably without it.  I don't think he sees the benefit of using it instead of just running around and frankly I don't either.  It's too bad.  I really liked the idea of it but this toy has gotten almost no use in our house.  I'll pull it out again in a month or two and hope he starts to like it better.

From a parent's perspective, I like that it folds small for easy storage.  But there's no use having a toy around, even a very compact one, if it never gets used.

Very frustrating toy for my son and me. But he still loves it!

I like this cat toy - the colors are bright and  it seems to be  well constructed, but my little 2 year old doesn't want to go even near it.  Am not sure why.  I did put some of the catnip in it to entice him, but no way does he want to play w/this.  I've had it about a week now and thought I would just leave it on the floor and see if he gets curious.

This looked like the most fun a kid could have...to me. I sucked up the price because I imagined my son playing on it for hours. My two and a half year old rides it occasionally but enjoys it much more when he can rope an adult into pushing him "really fast".  Now most of the time he uses it as a ramp for his cars and trains. Which I guess is okay too. My 11 month old boy enjoys crawling up and down on the track but occasionally there are fights as both of them want to use the track at the same time and can be dangerous if the little one gets in the way of the car.

One thing about this expensive toy that has not lost it's charm after 3 months is the big box it comes in.  We cut out windows and a sky light to be Nate's "house" and his hide away from baby brother, it affords him a few minutes of peace anyway.

My son is one of those toddlers who will race from window to window and can be talked down from a tantrum just with the mere mention of "garbage truck". As a matter of fact, when he was a young baby, probably 8 months old, I had him on my hip and we were watching the neighborhood garbage truck go by and I said "Bye bye garbage truck". I swear, he repeated exactly what I said, verbatim. He hadn't even said "mama" yet...

So this was an obvious choice for us. We found it at Wal-Mart for about [...] ..I saw it marked down to[...]  the other day. Bummer.

But he has really enjoyed it, as has his sister and all the friends and family who have come to our house since Santa brought it. It's got lots of fun buttons, and it sorta admonishes your child if they don't recycle. It's loads of fun (literally).

And the thing is sturdy. My son is a big guy, and I swear he can easily straddle and ride the thing if the mood hits. Enjoyable, fulfills a child's need to enjoy something we consider ordinary and they consider magic. It makes it real for him. I recommend [...]  Outrageous!

This was a really fun pillow.. (rip 1970s decor shag-a-licious pillow) I bought in in December for my 12 year old son who had asked for one like this for Christmas. Let me preface this by saying, I have 2 sons that are a path of destruction everywhere they go..so typically no product is a match for there terror. If you have boys, you are prob nodding and agreeing right now. Anyway, well he must have been always moving it by the little handle at the top because one side ripped off. Then eventually the whole top ripped open. Like.. the whole top. So I threw it away while he was in school that way he couldn't try to justify keeping it. ;) it made it 4 months or so before it was destroyed, and let's be real, some things don't make it a day here. So I gave it 3 stars. I bought him a new one from bed bath and beyond for the same price. It's a little bit smaller (this ones a nice size) but its softer. Told him not to drag it around by the handle. Photo of the pillow in it's better days..

This came to us as a gift from my mother-in-law. I have to say, in my mind, it is the quintessential grandmother gift, a suspicion that seems to be confirmed by the number of reviews apparently submitted by grandparents. For one, it is way more money than either my husband or I would spend on such a thing. For two, it is more annoying with fewer redeeming qualities than any toy I would ever buy.  Additionally, it is dreadful to break free from packaging. Rocky was unwrapped first, and while my husband struggled to free him, my son unwrapped the rest of his presents and I got them free of their packaging. Definitely a pain.

My son loves this stupid robot. He is a total truck junkie, and has recently gotten into robots as well, so it ticks off a lot of his checkboxes on what is good. My son has been a bit rough with it, but unfortunately, it seems to be rather well built and with good battery life. My husband seems to be neutral to irritated by it, but I can't stand this thing. It is huge. It is loud, both the mechanics that make it move and its voice. It is incredibly repetitive. It makes fart jokes. It doesn't teach anything or encourage my son to use his imagination in any way. It claims to respond to noise/verbal cues, but he seems to do whatever, even when my son is totally silent after Rocky prompts him to make noise. For me, this is a bit like playing a Shrek DVD (something I have thus far avoided with my kid). Uninspired and uninspiring, unentertaining, obnoxious, and doesn't really justify its existence in any way, but sporadic playing probably won't cause any lasting damage.

I gave Rocky 3 stars because while I hate it and feel that it has no redeeming value, I must admit that my son inexplicably loves this thing and that despite all my fervent wishing, its construction and batteries have stood up well to his playing.

My son loved this!!!  So maybe get it for your kid to spend a weekend with those relatives you hate... because the sounds are obnoxious.  Like why would anyone want a noisy book full of wallow talkie static and emergency alarms??? Lol!  I hid it under the couch to pull out when I really need to distract my son!

Okay, I'm really torn about the rating. This toy is really, really annoying. Since baby boy kept grabbing phones, remotes, keyboards, or anything else with buttons, I thought, "Yes, a toy with buttons and noise! Perfect!" Then it arrived, I heard that gratingly high voice sing, "I've got a remote, and I'm ready to roll..." and thought, "Oh my gosh, what have I done."

The good thing is, he LOVES it. He happily presses all the buttons, licks it, licks the buttons, and presses the buttons some more. He mashes the buttons to see how many things he can get it to say at once. Yay! Noise and buttons!

Now, I do like that the number buttons say the numbers aloud, which will probably help a lot when we begin counting. But a lot of the other buttons simply don't make sense. The channel button just spits out random phrases like, "Animals around the world! ROAR!" or "Sunny today, cloudy tomorrow!" With no images to go with it, I don't think the baby is going to realize he's supposedly changing to Animal World or the Weather Channel. And what's with "Today's shape is... circle!"? It would make sense if the matching shape lit up or flashed, but how is he going to learn the shape just by hearing the name?

However, the worst part is the volume button. Why, why, why would you give the baby the power over the volume? He's just happily mashing buttons, and next thing you know it's shrieking, "ONE! NINE! SEVEN! TODAY'S GAME IS...  PATTY-CAKE! YAAAAY!" I was hoping it would make a good stroller toy, but I'm honestly afraid to take it out in public.

I want to be fair, though. This toy might grate on my nerves, but it's a hit with baby, and he's the person who really counts. So I'm giving it four stars. I just really, really look forward to when it finally dies.

It would be a great hat if my son is not trying to take it off every time. For some reason he doesn't like this at all.

My son absolutely loves this toy, it's safe and it works well. Is there really anything else that matters?!

Believe me, the songs are annoying once you've heard them a hundred times, but the baby enjoys it.

Brim is a little floppy; my son doesn't like that.

My son didn't care for this. He probably picked it up and played with it twice. He wanted something more like his sissies ipods.
This item did come in excellent condition and was packaged well. I have nothing negative to say about the seller, only that this toy wasn't for my boy.

My son really liked this toy, but it frustrates him as it tips forward all the time.  The front end is too heavy and the toy is not balanced at all.  He still likes to hop on it and he also carries it around and kinds wrestles with it. He is 2 years old.

This toy is actually very cute/possibly fun and my 12 month son had his first ride yesterday - he seemed to really enjoy it but Im afraid it will be a short lived experience. The problems are:

1. It is advertised on Amazon as being for 18 months to 3 year olds.  However the manufacturer lists it as 9 months to 3yrs. Amazon misprinted the age range. This thing is very small - my son is big for his age and wears 18 month size (He is tall - 31 inches) - so I thought that it would be able to grow with him. He is already too big for this thing.  H may have a few months in it. There is no way he will make it to 18 months let alone 3 years old in this thing. If your child is tall/big for thier age - buy something else.

2. The tires - hard cheap plastic that are very loud and will wear out easily. The manufacturer went cheap on this and it shows. I read in another post where someone put vacume cleaner belts on the tires to quiet the ride and extend the tire life. We will try that to see if it helps.

3. The horn is very difficult to press - it requires real hand strength from me to push - no way an infant can really make the horn honk.

4. overall - very cheap for the money - should have bought a radio flyer wagon.
