My daughter really likes this toy and play with it a lot. It is quality especially for the price. My only complaint is the design of the measuring stick to the far right, when it gets knocked over that has come very close to poking people in the eye and I have had to be very cautious.

I bought this for our daughter and she loves it!  It was less expensive than the Princess version at Target but she didn't seem to mind.  Overall its a very nice toy.

My 3-year old daughter loves this toy, but she keeps trying to dial the princesses to talk to them. She can't. Dialing their number only plays music, which confuses her. But overall, a nice, colorful toy.

I understand some of the complaints about the design. I don't know if my daughter just takes good car of it, but I haven't has issues with the door falling off. Overall its a fun toy that my daughter enjoys playing with a lot. It is a great addition to her ridiculous amount of Fisher Price products.

As far as play value, this is a great toy. My 21 month old daughter has been playing with it for about 3 days with no water in it. I decided to let it get old that way before I added water, so it will be a brand new toy when I add the water. The tower in the middle is not attached well. I ended up having to take it off because when my little girl threw balls in it they would get lodged and she'd pull it down to try and see in it. When she pulled it down it would bend the plastic in the middle and it kept snapping off. I was afraid she would break it, so I took it off. Overall, this a great outside toy but if your kid is a wild child as mine is, it might not last long.

My 4 1/2 year old daughter and I love this toy.  She has been busy acting out the christmas story and putting the pieces just so to match the photo on the box.  My one complaint is that Mary's headpiece won't snap onto her head, so it just sits there loosely.  I'm not sure why some parts come put together and some we have to snap together (or not in this case...), I've always thought that to be a little weird about playmobil.
But, overall, a very nice toy.

Pro's : My daughter really likes it (only reason it got at least 2 stars)

Con's : After only a day or so of playing with it, it started to make a rather loud grinding/gear clacking noise.

Strip of paper to pull out to take it out of test mode ripped off inside of doll, was only able to remove it fully once I pried open the back to try and investigate the loud grinding/clacking sound coming from the doll.

this toy is well built and can take some abuse...my daughter likes to throw it around sometimes and we haven't had any issues with it breaking.  it could use some more keys, as it only holds her attention for a few minutes at a time, but she enjoys it when she plays with it.

I received this toy from Hasbro for my five-year-old daughter to try. She was very excited when I pulled it out of the box and couldn't wait to open it and try it out.

We put the batteries in and tested out all of it's robotic features. For whatever reason, my daughter was a bit creeped out by this. While the actions/sounds are meant to mimic a real dog, they are very obviously not real, which I think she had a hard time with.

She flipped the switch off and played with the toy in a more imaginative way for several minutes. After that, the toy found a spot in her room and has pretty much stayed there. (It is in plain sight, so it's not as if she has forgotten about it.) Every once in awhile, she will pull it out, but she never turns the switch on.

Since this is a robotic toy, it's not very cuddly. I think my daughter is more the stuffed animal type and has no problems "talking" for them or having them do actions.

This toy might be better suited for younger kids who would have a better chance of seeing this dog as "real."

My daughter lights up and gets so excited when she just sees this toy from afar. And she loves playing with it too. We got it when she was 7 months and I think it will be a hit for a long time yet. My only gripe is that my daughter wants to use it to pull to standing and it is so light, that if I don't hold the opposite edge it will topple over on her. Also if she loses her balancce which she does frequently and she tries to steady herself on it it tries to topple over as well, or she pushes it away and she risks falling if if I am not holding it steady. I know that this will get better with time, but this awesome toy would be MORE AWESOME if the legs were weighted so it was more stable.

My daughter enjoys this toy. She has been using it for about 18 months and the included batteries are just now wearing out. Lots of fun games and songs for them. Even my 6 year old son likes to play with this toy.

My 2 year-old twin daughters have had this toy for some time now and continue to enjoy playing with it. A great toy to encourage creative play and helpful for preparing for school as well. Since it has taught my girls to recognize a school bus, they get quite excited to see one on the road when we are out and about. I believe our tendency to use this toy as an opportunity to engage in pretend play with the girls has helped to stimulate their creativity.

My daughter loved this toy. Her eyes just lit up when we showed it to her and sat her on. She is 10 mo old and was able to get it moving...backward at first and now forward. The handle piece does detach to use for floor play but she'd rather just keep it on and use it while sitting.  The only thing I noticed is that it seems a little wobbly if she tries to push it around while standing, I'm afraid she might tip it over if she gets going to fast.

I received this toy for review, all opinions are my own.

This is a great toy! My daughter loves it...except it quit working properly after about two weeks. The little motor that moves and pops the balls around gets stuck and quits moving and makes a horrible sound. She loves it but it's obviously not made to last. She's only 9 months old so she hasn't done anything to break it. It just must not be made well. :o(

My daughter was interested in this toy and will play with it for a while every time I bring it out. Toy is exactly as described.

I really like this toy. I bought it for my 22 month old and she loves it. It's easy to play with and sound pleasant unlike a lot of other toys on the market. I found myself playing with it too for about 10 minutes.  One thing i didn't like it's how short the string is... It makes it hard to hit the keys. I just cut it off.

There are some definite positive things about this toy.  It has held up for months of frequent use with only one battery change, to my surprise.  My 13-month-old daughter really likes it, and her older friends and cousins like it, too.  I like the plastic balls that come with it, but I'm trying to track down a way to buy replacements.  We haven't lost any yet, but it's bound to happen, and my daughter has become very attached to the balls.  (My product came with 4 balls, but the description says it comes with 3.  Maybe they have changed it, but it really needs at least 4.)

I have two major problems with this toy, though.  The sounds are annoying, and the only way to turn them off is to turn off the whole toy.  I wish I could stop the voice from talking and singing while keeping the popping feature on.  The other problem is that the balls fly all over the room and my daughter isn't old enough to understand that she needs to put them back in.  I'm surprised that the recommended age for this product is 9-18 months, because very few children in that age range will be able to replace the balls, so an older child or adult will have to be constantly helping or the ball popping won't last very long.  Older children do seem to enjoy the job of replacing the balls, but it's not so fun for me.

The comment made by some reviewers that the balls hit children in the face isn't a big concern to me.  The balls are very lightweight and aren't likely to hurt anyone.  I suppose a child might get startled the first time it happens.  I've had the occasional problem that the balls won't pop out properly.  Usually this was because my daughter put something into the wrong hole that was blocking the popping mechanism.  (Once it was because the batteries needed changing.)  Even something very small and light can impair the popping, but I've always been able to just turn the toy over and dump out the object.
