Thank God for this toy!

My German Wirehaired Pointer has destroyed every toy I've ever purchased, plus my couch, dining room table, and futon.  She LOVES this toy, and it has lasted for over six months now.  Eventually she did get a little edge ripped off, but it's almost entirely intact.  I highly recommend it!

I almost didn't purchase this item because of the negative reviews, but I am SO glad that I did. I purchased it for my then 2 1/2 year old daughter for Christmas this past year. She is ALL about her babies, and it seemed SO right up her alley. She has wheeled this thing ALL over my house--upstairs, downstairs, carpet, tile, hardwood--she has never once seemed the least bit frustrated with anything about it. She has no trouble with the basket falling off the base, even when it's on backwards. The wheels spin fine, and my husband seemed to have no trouble whatsoever in putting it together. I really don't understand all the negative reviews, to be honest. This has been a fabulous toy to have for my daughter. This is one of the few times that I would strongly encourage you to ignore the negative reviews. I have absolutely no complaints.

This bouncing ball has been a game changer for my 6 year old with autism and sensory processing disorder! This helps him calm down and self soothe so quickly. It has become his mode of transportation around the house, and he rarely far from it. He bounces everywhere!

It is made of a very thick material, and even when big brother (9) bounces on it, I'm not concerned about it popping. I think it will hold up for quite some time, but even if it does pop, I will not heaitate in buying another. We have already gotten our money's worth in just a couple of months.

It is my son's favorite toy! I will say when I first filled it, I made it very full. It worked, but over time as a little air has leaked out and it's become more squishy, I noticed that he bounces much higher and enjoys it even more. So when you get it don't make it super full like a regular ball.

From the day we brought him home from the hospital, my son always hated being in his car seat. No matter what, he would always scream unless I sat in the back making faces at him and trying to distract him. Obviously that didn't do any good when it was just me and him. I bought this toy on a whim as an add on item for free shopping on an item that didn't qualify for Prime.

We gave it to my son in his car seat the day it came in the mail and it was love at first sight! This is now his favorite toy and it goes wherever he goes. No more screaming in the car! What a life saver! He loves to feel all the different textures and chomp on the teething ring. The only possible negative I could see for some is that it is really hard to squeak the squeaker in his bill. My husband and I have trouble squeaking it so my son has never been able to do it on his own. I am more inclined to see this as a positive though since my dog goes crazy when she hears squeaks.

I can't believe how awesome this toy is... I charged it, got the batteries and patiently waited for the 2 hours the instructions say... When I turned it on I was shocked by how well it flew... the control remote works well too. It is very flimsy and I understand the reason why (it's gotta fly). I am not sure if it will last long in the hands of my 5 year old goddaughter but I'm sure she'll love it before it breaks!

Blowing up little plastic balls through a tube using a force of air and have them fall into a  "funnel" and down the chute only to be forced back up all over again.  How simple is that?  How engaging could this be?  The answer would amaze you,  it did me.

I got this for my 13 month old and he LOVES it.  I love to watch him play with it.  I love to listen to him when he plays with it!  Unfortunately, he cannot play with it alone.  It attracts everyone!  Even the adults.  It's like the open bag of chips that makes all the hands appear!

Yes the balls go all over the floor.  That is the fun of this.  Baby crawls and retrieves them.  I am so proud at how he brings them back to the toy.  Sometimes he even pushes the toy to each ball on the floor.

The top "funnel-like" fountain part does come off easily but it goes back on just as simply.  It is not a big effort to put it back on.

Now the mom scoop and what it does for me....I can get about 10 solid minutes of "not chasing baby around time" with this.  That makes it a winner!  When my older boys sit and do this with him, I can get more time.  Sometimes enough to dust and vacuum the entire downstairs.  Sometimes enough to dry my hair, or put the laundry away!  Those of you with toddlers can appreciate the happiness that goes with starting a small task and completing it in one shot!

The concept is simple, the balls are bright and colorful.  There is enough noise and activity to engage everyone for longer periods than I imagained.  This toy will not find its way into the toy box any time soon.  In fact, I am finding it in different rooms of my home as I carry it around with me when I need to baby to sit in the room with me for a couple of minutes here and there.

I plan on giving this as gifts to my other mom friends who have not yet discovered this treasure!

Substantial toy even before you take into account the weight of the 4 D sized batteries it needs to operate.

No problems with little hands getting stuck, I don't leave my little guys alone in rooms, maybe when their 21 I'll consider it...ha ha!

Great toy that will "steal the spotlight"!

Awesome toy that helps foster the kids' imaginations!

My soon to be 4 year old loves this toy! I waited until the last few days to write the review because I wanted to make sure her enthusiasm for the toy was still there, and it is!

The day she received it, she played with it on the floor for hours! The medical parts kept her interest for only a few hours, after that, she only caress about the `ambulance' part. Shortly after she received&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/LeapFrog-Learning-Friends-Adventure-Bus/dp/B00JLHVX86/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">LeapFrog Learning Friends Adventure Bus</a>. Since then, these two toys have not separated! She loves to fill the ambulance up with her dollhouse toys and then takes the other bus behind it on the floor to transport them all. For weeks she has been doing this! She does not care much for the sounds it makes, I think it is cute and like that it has a low and high setting.

I have a rule that all toys go into the playroom at night but this one along with the other are two toys that are sitting in the living room as a write this. She runs straight to them when she wakes up and rolls them both on the floor and imaginary play takes place for hours! She loves to load the bus with her smaller stuffed animals and act like she is fixing them like Doc McStuffins.

I like the wide wheels on the toy. I have wood floors and they have not scratched or harmed them. It is easy for her to push it with one hand and the other with her other hand. When I selected this I figured it would end up in her toy room after a few days but almost four weeks later, she is playing with it more! I recommend this one along with the other one mentioned above. It also holds up well to being run into the walls and doors! She has thoroughly tested running it into things and it does not show any signs of wear.

We bought this for our 2 yr old who is obsessed with Care Bears for Christmas and she ADORES this!  Yes, it comes apart, but it is SUPPOSED to!!!  She spends hours playing with it, stacking all together, taking it apart, rearranging the top pieces, and "building" her castle! It is very well made, we love the sounds and lights, and it is a hit in this house...she is learning so much and feels such a sense of accomplishment when she takes it apart and then knows how to put it back all by herself!  This is one great toy, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

This is the first and only "toy" our 10 month old son has actually sat down and explored with focus and excitement. I'm kind of amazed that it's been able to hold his attention for as long as it does. Not that I don't enjoy spending all of his playtime also playing with him, it's just that sometimes a new parent MUST grab the phone, answer the door, run to the bathroom, grab more coffee, etc etc (you get what I'm saying right?) and having our son in his safe and secured play area with the WolVol musical cube, I'm telling you, I can actually enjoy my entire cup of coffee while it's still hot!!! (Gasp!) Something that has not happened since the day he was born.
What I love even more than the extra "parental freetime" it gives, is that this is a truly musical and engaging activity device. The cube is helping him built dexterity in his hands and fingers. The sounds and melodies it plays (and allows baby to create on their own) are helping refine his ear on a completely different level than by him just listening to a song or melody or sound outside of his own workings. By him "creating" each sound, he's connecting more signals in his brain, a brain that is new and fresh, and constantly growing.
I wasn't 100% sure about the size upon first sight, but it's actually the perfect size for his tiny little hands to maneuver each section like a pro.
I honestly have not found a "Con" about this item, other than I know I'll have to replace the batteries one day, but I just hate replacing batteries.
If you want something that will engage your little with playtime that promotes hand/eye coordination, ear development and over all cerebral growth, the WolVol Musical Activity Cube needs to be in your house right now.

This thing has it all!  Great for young babies learning to grasp toys, older babies learning to walk and use their legs, and even for toddlers who can walk around it to play with the toys without the seat attached!  My friends and I have all gotten these for our kids and it has been a hit with all of them!  I can't wait to watch my little one grow and be able to walk around the table as he gets older and it is so cool that they thought of making a toy that can grow with your child!  I wish there were more products like this.  I highly recommend this to stimulate your growing baby.  It will provide many hours of entertainment for them and allow you to actually get something done in the meantime!  It's a real lifesaver!

My daughter recieved this as a gift when she turned 3.  It was not her favorite toy at first, but as her SIXTH birthday approaches this week I must say in the past 3 years the vacuum has become one of the prize toys in the house.  Around 4.5 she realized how much fun it really was to follow me around the house while I cleaned and be able to "help"!  The motor is not too loud, but realistic.  The light on the front makes it more real and it really does pick up lint and dust!  She is always asking "Where do I vacuum now???" and for a child who doesn't like to pick up her toys she has a VERY clean floor! Although - I must agree on the attachments - they come off too easily, although she has never shown an interest in them and figures they are just "there" the same as Mom's are!

I love this toy.  My kids love this toy.  I got it for my daughter (now 3) when she was 5 months.  She loved putting the ball in the funnel, she loved shaking them, clacking them. She loves the plush rings, and would take them off and wear them, then stack them back.  She would take off the head and put it back.  This toy is brilliant for encouraging eye-hand coordination.  When my son arrived (now 1) he loved it too, demonstrating the same delight and engagement as my daughter. The toy has endured both of them with no significant damage.  I have taken to buying this toy for friends when they have little bundles of joy and the response if overwhelmingly positive.  "I can practically see my kid getting smarter," they say.  The only trouble is that the boy parent will sometimes confiscate it for his own amusement.

This toy is fantastic!  Seriously, kids don't need many other toys if they have this.  It can be used as a push toy, a ride on toy, a sorting toy, a stacker, it has lights, music, teaches letter, numbers, colors.... what more can you ask for???  My daughter received this for her first birthday and she absolutely loves it.  It's probably her favorite toy now (aside from the gladware of course!).  Definitely get this for your little one, as long as you have a good amount of space for them to move around in it.  I could see it being a little cumbersome if you live in a small space.

We have been scared by all the recalls, pvc, bpa and all sorts of stuff we can't pronounce.  I had never seen a Haba product until I had order them and they arrived.  I can't believe how awesome this toy is.  It look so simple and unassuming but it can be manipulated by my 7 month old daughter with such joy and interest!
-The colors are so very rich yet you can still see the wood grain.
-It is a quiet toy- except when dropped :-P
-When closed it is exactly the size of my palm, it 'opens' out bigger.
-No odd ball plastics, fad chemicals, or batteries- it's so safe for her to chop on
Big brother will sit and flip the triangles around in a sort of it-must-be-magic fascination.  I wish I had know about this company before, but now that I do I just ordered some for a pregnant friend.
These Haba toys seems so simple but don't underestimate the true value of these toys.  I was shocked and immediately taken in and so was my little girl.  We now will box up all our plastics and make the investment in these wonderful toys which we will be able to pass down to the next baby.

She loves it! While its a bit more expensive than any other toy we have bought for her, I think it will hold up great, especially considering we have established play times, meaning we don't leave her alone with any of her toys lol :-) With this, its so much better, because it works her mind as well as being a toy. Here is a video of her solving it:

This toy is a must try, especially for older dogs who have lost interest in playing. I have an 11 yr old blind dachshund that bores easily with toys he used to love. This toy has sparked a new life in play time! He loves to carry the log around and scatter squirrels at my feet for me to stuff back in the log. He usually destroys stuffed toys in a matter of minutes, but we've had this toy for several weeks and he has only killed the squeaker in one of the squirrels. So nice to find a durable toy that keeps my boy entertained. Already purchased a second one for backup!
