Noah, Sarah and the two by twos!
I love this toy.I had requested it for my son's 1st birthday and he got two of them for his second (still 1 year old) Christmas.He continues to play with it and I had to get the two additional animal sets.It's really his favorite fisher price toy to play with.And I could add a few different renditions of the story of Noah to really use it as a teaching tool.He is almost 3 now and both he and his cousin love to play with the animals.I highly recommend this toy for so many reasons!It's well made, the animals are adorable and it's easy to see how children could imagine with this one.
I also suggest for Christmas to get one of the Little People Christmas (creche) sets.It's another learning tool and a "decoration" that can be played with instead of the ornaments!-

Everything about this toy is great!
I purchased Noah's ark as a "stay at Gran's" toy when I first saw it on the shelf (about 3 years ago).My grandson requests it, and plays with it often.From the very beginning, he exhibited a significant amount of time on task, playing with the animals, learning to match them, stringing them in line to get on the ark, feeding the animals.I paired it with a simple version of the story.It is such a nice display, I keep it on top of the bookshelf.It still looks brand new!!!

It was very benefitial during his first play experiences.Initially, a couple of us would sit and play with him.He actually plays with it now by himself.He puts it away as part of his play.....having Noah rush the animals before the rains and the floods start!

Little People are the cats pajamas!
My in laws bought this for my 18 month old daughter for Christmas and she LOVES it to this day. The animals and people are the perfect size for toddlers, and they all fit neatly inside the ark after she is done (which is not often because she is always playing with it!) Excellent toy, will be buying more Little People toys! ... Read more

Not that impressed
I like the concept of storing the pieces in this toy and being able to build on top of a small table.I am not certain why the table plays music and has the spinning wheels.My daughter rarely plays with this toy and I would recommend the plain megablocks over this toy.

He loves it TOO much!
I bought this for my son's first birthday.He couldn't grasp the building concept, but loved the music and spinning wheels.So, for three months, he put on anything new he came into contact with (slippers, plastic containers, trucks, clothes, baby lotion, bottle, ANYTHING) on the spinning wheels and watched the item go around.It really kept him and us entertained, as we never knew what he would put on there next.We decided that this toy was well worth it, even if he never used the building toys with it.

At about 14 months he started to get interested in the building pieces.It was almost a little disappointing!This toy is the main toy he plays with every day.We all love it!

This toy has stood up to much abuse from my child.The legs were fine once my husband managed to get them in place (I couldn't do it).I also like that the pieces can go into the toy itself.

DS also likes to take the round pieces, roll them on the kitchen floor and chase after them.This has been a multi-purpose toy for him!LOL!

You don't have to put the batteries in it.
I bought this for my son for Xmas.He likes it a lot.But I didn't even put batteries in it till a few weeks ago and now I regret it.The little tunes get annoying and since he likes it so much, he pushes the button all the time.I like how you can store the pieces in the bottom but the legs don't stay on very well. ...

perfect
my sister got this for christmas and i have to say it is durable.we live in a remote part of the country, and she took that jeep over 3 alfalfa fields, and two streems and brought it back covered in mud.She was so happy.and it's perfect because she is always wanting to drive my mom's car. :)

Great buy
Great bike. Runs great on grass. It's acutally pretty fast. My husband and I like that it STOPS when our daughter takes her foot off the gas, instead of continuing to coast.

My Child's First Car
My husband and I just got this Jeep for my daughter's second birthday.My daughter was THRILLED to say the least when she seen her "new car."She is a little above average height for her age (a little over 36 inches) and she was able to reach the pedal just fine.She has had it for 2 days now and has gotten pretty good with steering it.I highly recommend taking your child to an open field where they can practice without mowing down pedestrians.:)I gave this Jeep 3 stars for durability because we have only had it for two days and that is not an adaquite amount of time to fully judge it's durablity.However, my daughter id ride it around are small kitchen and hit the stove, chairs, and wall a few times and the Jeep was fine.This Jeep goes over grass, gravel, concrete, and just about anything!We were wuite surprised because we thought she would be getting stuck a lot and we'd have to do a lot of pushing.We had Toys R Us put together the Jeep because though my husband is quite the handyman, he just didn't have hours to put aside to asemble the Jeep.Toys R Us forgot to give us the instruction sheets so when we brought it home, we just winged it.It is very simple to operate, there's one pedal on the right that the child pushes to make the Jeep go forward.By pressing a botton near the cup holder by the floor, the child can make it go in reverse.We haven't showed her how to go in reverse yet because we want her to be able to feel comfortable going forward first.Without having an instruction sheet, we had no idea how long to charge the battery.We ended charging it for about eight hours.We intent on calling Toys R Us to get all the instruction sheets that come with the Jeep that we never recieved.Well I guess we didn't charge the battery long enough because it died about 2 hours later.Our daughter was so upset, she thought she had broken her "new car."So, my husband actually had to push her home in the Jeep-and the Jeep is not light.We fully intend on buying an extra battery and charger so that never happens.I highly recommend it for all of you who want to buy this Jeep for your child.I thought it to be educational because it teaches my daughter forward, backwards, left, and right and improves her motor skills.And fun?This toy is a definite 5 STARS!We could not keep her off of the Jeep.She was the envy of all the kids in the park.This Jeep is a definite MUST HAVE! ...

ShopSavy
After reading others reviews of this swing, I had to comment.I bought this swing for my daughter when she was 18 months.She is now turning 3 and the swing is still in wonderful condition(even the ropes!) even though it's been outside for 1 1/2 years.That's even inluding a storm that brought us about 5 inches of ice.My daughter loved this when I bought it for her and she still does.She could swing for hours if it wasn't always raining in the Northwest.I would most definitly buy this again if I have another child.As for those that are complaining about the ropes...they are ropes!They are eventually going to unravel unless you happen to have a rope from a shipyard that is ment to hold vessels and not a child that ways less than 40 lbs.

Swing is OK... constricting
When I ordered the swing I thought that it would have a flat seat for the child to sit in. Instead it has grooves for his legs. The rope is a little short and it is somewhat difficult to adjust for proper swinging.It does swing.I will choose a different seat today.

Looked at lots of swings but this one had NO sharp edges, tray is nice and safety belts cover a wide range. Good product and was reasonably priced. ... Read more

Very nice
Better than I expected.It's very rugged, it opens it's mouth when you pull the trigger and roars (which I didn't expect).My son loves it.

pretty cool
My daughter is facinated by monsters and dinasours and was captivated by this toy.The main problem is that at 5 she has a some problems keeping the parts from coming apart while playing (and keeping her baby sister away from them), so it ends up being kept away except when I can monitor.Some of the parts have already been lost and may be better for older kids.But the look is great and definately excites the imagination.

Razor the T-Rex
Dinosaurs are the coolest thing that ever happened to Imaginext.While the pirate and medieval themes are cool, this prehistoric theme takes the prize for ultra coolness.The premise here is simple enough.Predators versus non-predators.Carnivores versus herbivores.

Razor the T-Rex is one of the bad guys.He stands among the biggest dinosaurs, about twice the size of the triceratops, stegosaurus, and allosaurus.He has posable legs, tail, and forearms.A trigger under his belly causes his head to lunge forward with snapping jaws, accompanied by sound effects and a dinosaur roar.Razor has a rather sinister look about him.He's not quite as cute as the other Imaginext dinosaurs are, but he still has plenty of "menacing" charisma.He has a great paint job of red and dark blue, and the designs on his body add flavor.

On Razor's back is a saddle for a cave man figure to ride.The included cave man wears a dinosaur skull headdress and carries a bone staff.He's got some great posability in the arms, and his hands do a great job of grasping items.Also included is a catapult and two large boulders.

Razor, his cave-man buddy, and the catapult are all durable and constructed from soft plastic.This is a really nice dinosaur action figure and a great addition to the Imaginext collection.Fisher Price has done a great job on what is by far the coolest and most charismatic collection of dinosaur action figures I've seen.My verdict:thumbs up! ...

one year old and have had to replace tires
We purchased this motorbike for my 4yr olds birthday last year...it is true the back training wheels do wear out..it is mainly rode on a concrete patio and driveway and ours goes fine in the yard...just last week I called the customer service # to find out if I could order replacement wheels and they gave me the name of the local service center..although it was about 60 miles away I called them and they shipped me the new wheels for a total of only $30...to me it was worth the money for the new wheels...I put the new wheels on myself and it has been going fine ever since...Although this is an expensive power wheel I would purchase this again

WE LOVE THIS TOY!!!!
We bought this for my sons 2nd birthday it was easy to put together and within 10 minutes of giving it to him he had it fiqured out and was racing around the yard, he thought he was big stuff because he now had a dirtbike that looked like his daddy's. It is a Great toy and I HIGHLEY RECOMMEND IT. The battery will last all day sometimes two days and takes 18 hrs to charge, it has been worth it seeing the smile on my sons face when racing around with his dad outside.

Great Ride On !
I bought this ride on for my 4 year old son for Christmas.It looks like the price has going up and also the shipping cost how going up as well.Good thing i bought it before Christmas when it was on sale and the shipping & handling costs were at a discount or i would have looked into purchasing a different ride on toy.

All in All, my son loves riding this battery operated bike.At first he was a lil scared to ride it, but he got used to it fast.He doesn't want to get off of it.The education value of the ride on is that he is learning how to go in reverse, steer, stop and go, almost like learning how to drive a car. ...

Editorial Review

The Little People Animal Sounds Zoo features six different animals--polar bear, seal, monkey, lion, bird, and elephant--and environments for children to interact with. Each habitat floor has a small paw print that elicits the animal's sound when pressed with a finger or when the appropriate animal is placed on it. Each animal is made of soft, squeezable plastic and is about 3 inches tall, perfect for small hands. Children will enjoy the various sounds, animals, and habitats, especially the monkey. Hit the purple handle and the monkey shoots up a vine into the trees and shouts, "Ah-ah-eee-eee-oo-oo!" as he tries to grab a banana. Also included are two fence pieces and a small plastic car for the zookeeper. Requires three AA batteries (not included). --N. Mered ... Read more

Little People Zoo grows on you
My son received this toy for Christmas when he was 1 year old.He tried all the sounds immediately and by the time we heard the little blue bird for the 5th time, he was scared of the lion, Bear and Elephant sounds.It is a very loud toy.However all the "scary" stuff aside. My son who is now 2 1/2 tends to play with this a bit more now.It's still loud and he still doesn't like the sounds that the lion and the bear make but he can accurately identify each animal and make his own sounds to correspond with them.My main concern was that the zoo keeper was the first item "lost" and Fisher Price has no way of getting a replacement keeper.That was the most appealing part to my son at first.And I tend to wonder if there were more pieces lost could a parent get a replacement or would we have to replace the whole thing?
It is a cute toy and I found that for just the animals my son was happy to play and cart them around the house...but as he gets older he tends to play a bit more with the toy as an additional part to his little people collection.
I also find it harder and harder to add on to this set..the petting zoo or baby zoo animals are harder to find and the zoo train has been MIA on almost all toy sites and that was the most appealing addition.

GRRREAT toy!
My daughter received this as a Christmas gift when she was 9 1/2 mos old.She loved it from the start and still loves it today at 14 1/2 mos old.She LOVES pushing the buttons to hear the sounds that lion, polar bear, elephant and a bird make.She loves making the "boing" and the monkey sounds, too!In fact, we used this set to introduce her to many different animal sounds.Since she was (and in many cases still is) unable to pronounce the name of the animals, we taught her to make the sound that the animal makes.For example, a lion and bear growl, and so does she.We made up a "chomping" sound for the camel and a "Ppppbbt" for an elephant.It sounds silly, crazy even, but it worked for us.When asked for a certain animal, she's able to make the sound, and pick out the animal all by herself.This toy is fantastic!

For laughs!
This Little People Animal Sounds Zoo is great for laughs!My 2 year old literally fell over laughing with the first sight-and sound-which happened to be the monkey.Several reviewers commented on the fake animal sounds, but this IS a toy, and it is hilarious. I even smiled at the cute "rar" the lion made. Kids love it, and it makes me laugh watching them enjoy it and enjoying it with them.True, all toys are best with on/off switches. It would be nice if this had one.So far this is the funniest Little People set I've seen, and we have 6 different ones.Enjoy!As always, test it out first if in doubt or save the receipt and return it if you don't like it. :) ...

Not great but good enough
My daughter likes it, and it teaches well....we got this for her last Christmas and she was 3.She was able to work it pretty well.

Educational and fun!
My son loves this, he calls it his "dvd game" he gets frustrated with the sponge bob game, but it is for older kids, I think all the peopole giving it bad reviews are probably just not programming it right, or they got a bad one, that happens, mine programmed and worked the first try and have had no problems since!

Why did I bother??!!!!
My mother bought this system for my 3 year old son for Christmas.I have an Apex DVD Player and it took a while to get it programmed, but after that it worked great for a short time.Unfortunately my son loved the game so much that he was nearly devastated when one day it just stopped working.I changed the batteries, tried re-programming it, but nothing worked.He just played with the system at a friends house the other day and after seeing his delight, I purchased another system to give it another try - no luck.I can't even get the darn thing to program and now I will have to return a second one!!!By the way, there were only 2 in the store when I repurchased it last week and both appear to have been returned.Maybe they should work out the kinks before using paying customers as test dummies and further frustrating our children at an age that is already frustrating enough!!! ...

Another Winner for GeoTrax
I knew my son would love this as soon as I saw it as he love bridges and things he can make move.

The set comes with a drawbridge, a sailboat and some cargo.The bridge has typical GeoTrax detail with crabs, shells and other things along the edges and the water under the bridge contains a sea turtle.

Bridge action is controlled with an easy-to-grasp handle that small hands can wrap right around.As the bridge is raised, a bell rings and the gates drop.When the bridge is lowered, the gates automatically go back up.The bell can also be rung by pushing down on the chimney of the gate house.

All in all this is a fun addition to a GeoTrax setup, it is easy to set up and use, and it is very durable, not to mention very reasonably priced.

Bayshore Drawbridge
The Bayshore Drawbridge is another great addition to your kids GeoTrax collection.It can be used in place of three adjacent straight pieces of track.It is made from high impact plastic and is very durable.

No batteries are needed for this kit.A lever actuates the raising and lowering of the bridge.Additionally, as the bridge is raised, a little bell rings and two little crossing gates are lowered to block any oncoming trains.

The only difficulty was assembling the lever to the drawbridge.You have to line up the lever with the keying mechanism and push HARD for the lever to snap on correctly.

If you're buying the drawbridge, then by this point, you have probably purchased many of the other additional kits.It gets to be quite a challenge to include everything into a good layout.

For some great track layout ideas, search on eBay for "Geotrax Track Layout".

All things considered...this is a great toy that will keep your kids (and you) occupied for many, many hours.My kids love it!

Outsanding New Series !!!
I've bought all available Geo Trax toys and built a very fun rail road and track system, of course my child spends a lotof hours playing with them.

This New Series, increases the level with air & sea vehicles, planes and boats are added to previously trains, trucks and cars, to be able to expand in an outsanding transportation set. ... Read more

Dora the Explorer fans (especially those with Dora's Talking Casa Doll House) won't want to be without the poseable plastic figures in this gift set. Dora comes with her faithful sidekicks: a backpack and her puppy. Abuela (Grandmother) has a lovely vase of flowers, Diego travels nowhere without his baby jaguar and field notebook, and Boots and Tico get around with their scooter and fire engine. Rugged adventurers, these! Children will enjoy incorporating the figures into Dora playsets (not included), or venturing out into explorations of their own. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

Overwhelming odor
I am very concerned about the strong smell of the figures we just received.My daughter's Dora house is in her bedroom and when I walk in her room, the odor from the new figures is overwhelming.(I have put them back in the box and plan to return them).We bought this set of figures to supplement the ones that came with the house.The ones that came with the house have no noticeable smell, which is in complete contrast with these new figures.It's very disappointing because my daughter loves to play with her Dora house and was delighted with the new characters we purchased.

Fantastico!!
This a review just about the figures. My sister sent them to me after having to go on EBAY and paying an absurd amount for them (she did not tell me how much but less then $50 she said). I told her to forget it, not to buy them, but she did anyway....I think it is absurd to put out a toy for Xmas andfor there to be a shortage....Err...

Nonetheless, the figures are a must for any Dora fan. We do not have the doll house (they do not sell Dora products here - we live in Spain) but my 4 yr old is just as content to play with them on her Mega Block Pirate ship or in herFisher Price farm that she STILL plays with....

I like the jointed limbs and moveable legs....Some of the accessories are alittle Random.....I mean I would have preferred another character figure likeIsa or Benny tothat flower potor fire truck figure!

Also I agree the car they ride in at the beginning of each episode would have been cool...

Poor Abuela...she is literally a barrel....Although it is a pretty accurate steroetype of the abuelas we see here in Spain ! : )
But she can not do much....

I love that they included baby Jaguarand Diego....and theattachable backpack!

All in all, I'd have to say the figures are what my 4 yr old has played withthe most without a doubtof all her Xmas presents....and I can see why ! Having seen the DVD's and videos, she makes up her owns adventures all over the house("First we have to go thru the spooky curtains, then over couch mountain and then try and swim over fishbowl lake!") and it really spurs her imagination - I am actually glad i don't have the dollhouse!!!

The only reason I gave it four stars overall was because of availability problems.....

Adios!

Fun, creative toy.However, too much hoopla over the pieces
I ordered the doll house and the figures at the same time on Amazon about a month before Christmas.When my daughter opened them Christmas morning I was very surprised to see that the house did in fact come with some people including Dora, Boots, and Diego.So, now because I bought the separate set of people, we have duplicates of Dora, Boots, and Diego.This isn't necessarily a bad thing, butI would have saved some money and not bought the additional set of people had I known before.The figures are very durable and a great size for little hands.Unfortunately, Tico doesn't stay on his scooter, and I agree with another reviewer that it's tough to get the figures to stay seated on the furniture.
I'm please with the quality of the house and figures.There are plenty of bells and whistles.This type of toy encourages use of imagination and exploring social skills. ... Read more

Long Life
I bought this bike for my eldest daughters 1st birthday ,when they first came out, about ten years ago! My youngest children, 4 and 3 love to ride it and it is still in great condition. It is so easy to ride and fun to push the kids when we go for walks. My son just got a fancy trike for his 3rd birthday and he still prefers to ride this one. His other one has heavy rubber tires making it harder for little ones to learn to petal. I am going to by one for my nephew for his 2nd birthday!

Years of use
We bought this for my first son four years ago. He is now five and still rides this. He even rides it together with my younger son (almost 4). This plastic tricycle is very durable, it has been thru a LOT. It rides very well on the wooden deck.

The new see and say
When I purchased this product I expected it to be larger, like the one I had as a child 30 or so years ago.This streamlined version no longer has a pull chord, there is a lever, and it is smaller and has a neat flip page so that more animals can be used.My 14 month daughter likes to sit on my lap and listen to the real sounding animal sounds, but so far she has not been able to pull the lever by herself.She especially likes the music that is played when the arrow is pointed to the musical notes.I would recommend this toy as a good start for teaching animal sounds, animal recognition, and fine motor coordination.

Fun for babies too
The recommended age for See 'n Say is 18 months, but we bought it anyway.Our seven-month old recently started enjoying animal noises we'd make for him.I tried this toy for him in the store and was greeted with the same smile and giggle we got from quacking like a duck for him at home.He is probably far from learning how to pull the handle himself, but we do it for him and he watches with delight.Each night, we read him a few stories before bed and we use See 'n Say the Farmer Says as if it were a book.We hold it in front of my son and pull the handle a few times to hear animal sounds and he thinks he just heard a fabulous tale.

This toy has a half ring that can be flipped back and forth to display different animals.There are 16 animals, which are named and make their individual sounds when the handle is pulled.There is also a song sticker that plays Old MacDonald had a Farm or The Farmer in the Dell.And there is a quiz sticker that asks you to find the animal based on the name of the animal or its sound.The farmer is on an arrow in the middle and you point it toward whichever sticker you want and then pull the handle.

I only have two minor complaints with this toy.The handle sometimes sticks on the way back up and makes a soft grinding sound.Also, the volume is a bit loud and there is no volume control button.Overall, it's a great toy.

Better than the original!
This toy was a Christmas gift for my daughter.She is 21 months and loves it!She is learning her animal sounds and she loves to pull the handle herself.She also enjoys turning the "page" to hear the other animal sounds.She loves to be able to do things for herself and get a result, in this cause an animal sound or song.The quiz feature is also a nice feature.Although my daughter isn't talking that much yet, the quiz feature on this toy shows me she understands so much more than she can say.This toy is also very durable, as my daughter has already accidentily dropped it down our stairs.The sounds are much clearer than on the original.A great value and an all around great toy ...

A Big Hit With Our Baby!A Favorite of Mom's Too.
We got this toy about 6 wks ago when my youngest son first started to pull himself up on things and it as been a favorite ever since.I love seeing his face when he climbs up on it!There are two settings, music and ABC's, so there are a lot of different songs to enjoy.The objects on top are really cute - it's a sort of picnic theme with snacks around a big soup bowl that spins like a steering wheel - very fun.The two sound level settings are also perfect: the low is not too low and the high is not too high - it's just enough to adjust for different noise levels in the room.The legs snap on and off quickly and easily, so in a few seconds I can convert it from a sitting toy to a standing toy (great when he was standing with less stability - I could set it down on the floor when I couldn't sit there to 'spot' him in the standing position).Both me and my preschooler love to play with him on it!

great toy...worth the money
I bought this toy for my son when he was 8 months old. He plays with it every day! I love the numerous melodies it plays, because you don't get tired of hearing the same song over and over. He knows how to pull the levers, flip the page, and dances along when the music plays. I highly recommend this toy.

Good, but could definitely use some improvements
My daughter got this at 7 months, and loved it right from the beginning.She's 12 months now, and isn't QUITE as interested, but she definitely still plays with it.So overall I think it's a pretty good toy for a baby or toddler, but I do have a few problems with it.

First, it's very bulky.It takes up quite a bit of floor space, and can't really be easily stored anywhere other than the floor unless you remove the legs.

Then, if the legs ARE removed, you've got to find a place for them.It would be much better if the legs could be folded under.Or even if they could be stacked and stored together, but they can't.

Now, I know that other activity tables are just as bulky, but many of them are more versatile.Like, the top can be flipped over and there's a Lego building table or a writing surface underneath.This thing pretty much just has buttons and lights and noises, so once your baby bores of that, you've just got a noisy, bulky thing that's tough to store.

So, while this isn't bad, I DO think there are better activity tables out there. ... Read more

Pretty good deal but could be more exciting
I bought these blocks for my daughter when she was 9 months old and she really only enjoys them now. She is 14 months now and is starting to recognize some of the objects inside when I ask her to get them. But be warned bc they're not great for the real younger babies since there are only a few of them that really do anything like beep or rattle. Most of them just have a stationary object that may jiggle a bit. The ones that you can twist yourself are not child-friendly. She can't turn the knob at all so she gets frustrated. My 3 yr old can just do it. He likes them too bc they incorporate the alphabet. Another thing is that the printed letters block some of the objects so it's harder to see inside. I would more so recommend a diff set for a younger baby (6 mos)- like the sound sensations and these for an older child (1 yr). Although you can't beat the price for 26 of these blocks! I also just recently got the Roll-A-Rounds by fisher price as a gift. It's the same concept but a ball vs block. She likes them ALOT!

Great value.
This set incorporates a lot of the favorites from other sets packaged in an A to Z learning format.I have been leary of purchasing too many of these blocks for storage reasons so the zippered case is a great bonus.Definitely worth every penny. ... Read more

Really Nice Add-On
Unlike so many Geotrax accessories that connect with a single piece of track, this accessory becomes a major part of your track set up.You get six pieces of track in addition to the mountain itself.If you flip the two switcher tracks outward, you can integrate these track pieces more easily with the existing track.The coal car's load will push down, and pop back up when you pull the hook-connector.For the money, Mt. Blast is one of the best accessories you can add to your Geotrax set up.

3 yr old loves
We got this piece first, and only played with it a little until we got the starter set this christmas.Now we play with it every day!I love that he can put the pieces together himself, and he loves to change the layouts.We will definately be adding more once they become available!

A great add on for a great train set!!
My 3 year old son is into all types of trucks so this was a must have to add to the Christmas pile.This is a great accessory to his geotrax rapidly growing collection.This set had quite a few accessories to it other than actual track pcs - trucks, boulders, etc.He is able to connect track with minimal help and once set up he will sit and play for long periods of time on his own.Add on sets like this make it so it's not just a "train set" and he has incorporated using his little people sets to make a whole "city".His little sister even has fun with this one! ...

My then 6 month old son got this for Christmas and now at a year old is still entertained by this toy.He loves the way it lights up and is very pleased with himself when he gets it to play a song.In the 6 months we've had this toy, with constant use, I have only had to replace the batteries once.It is also not too annoyingly loud, although there is not adjustable volume.

We Love It!
We just bought this toy for our 15 mo. old daughter and 4 mo. old son- They love it!Daughter loves to dance with the music, carry the stars around, stack them, dump them, etc.Wish I had bought it sooner!

A great inexpensive toy
This toy has been a favorite of my girls since they received it. They like the flashing lights and noise it makes when you take the stars off or put them back on the base. They have enjoyed taking the stars off of the base and even trying to stack them back on. Overall, this little toy has been a great addition for our household. ... Read more

My 10 month old's favorite!
This is my son's favorite toy.He started showing interest in it at about 7 months and now he could play with this toy all day and never gets tired of it!He loves to put the blocks in the slots in the wheel and turn the wheel.I don't know what we would do without it!!

Looks better than it really is
This toy is not worth the money.The peek-a-blocks are okay, but my son prefers his wooden blocks for stacking and building.The rotating feature on this wagon is a real problem for little fingers.I can't count the number of times my son has pinched his fingers while spinning the wheel.

Lots to do with this one
My daughter was only 6 months old when I got this for her. She immediately became fascinated by the door, opening and shutting it repeatedly. Now that she is 8 months old, she is really into spinning the rolling drum and pulling blocks out of the storage bin. I am certain that she will enjoy all parts of this toy for a long time, especially when she learns to use it as a pull toy. The music is very cute, not annoying. My only suggestion is for Fisher-Price to separately sell the special blocks that are included with this wagon if some of the original blocks get lost. ... Read more

Lil' Quad charger
After many failed attempts to find the right charger for the lil' quad, I finally came across a website to get the right one.Go to 1-800-sunbeam.com. It is the type A for the toddler series.Hope this helps some of you.

Little Powerhouse
My son recently received a Power Wheels jeep that had been in use for over 3 years before he got it.The batteries had not been charged as specified in the instructions, and they died shortly after he started using it.The jeep couldn't run on concrete, much less on grass.

I replaced both existing batteries with these, which incidentally are a different colour from the picture, and the jeep now runs fine on most surfaces.

It requires 18 hours charging time before you can use the batteries, so be prepared for some impatience before the vehicle can actually be used.You have to charge them after each use, and also once a month if the vehicle is not in use, at 16 hours each time.

Tech support from Fisher Price is non-existent in my part of the world, where 800 numbers are not accessible, because their site doesn't have a customer service or tech support e-mail address listed.I needed important information, because I learned that the model I have was recalled for electrical problems, and I wanted to see exactly which parts needed to be fixed to solve the problem.

I'm sure that these batteries will last a long time with proper care, but wish the tech support was better

Editorial Review

This pretend kitchen is a wonderful toy to keep toddlers occupied while you're trying to cook dinner. And, for those who are short on kitchen space, this kitchen playset sets up into a full-size kid's kitchen and then folds flat to store in a closet when playtime is done. The play kitchen features an oven and refrigerator that really open and a two-burner stove with dials that make cooking sound effects, such as sizzling or bubbling, when turned. The set comes with 18 different accessories, including a phone, a covered pot, a pan, two plates, two glasses, two forks, two spoons, a spatula, a serving spoon, a salt shaker, and several fake food items--a fried egg, green beans, and macaroni and cheese. At first glance, assembly looks daunting, but well-diagramed instructions make setup fairly easy. This playset requires three AA batteries to power the sound effects. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Disappointing - not what I expected from Fisher Price
The oven door does not stay shut on the one I bought - I should have checked the reviews first, but thought Fisher Price quality was reliable and consistent. Apparently not any more. : (
I didn't even show this to my granddaughter, and am returning it to Amazon. I'll look for another one made by another company, but this time will check the reviews first.
Also, a little piece of bad design: the shelf in the oven is too high to put in the (included) casserole with the lid on.

Can't keep my daughter away from it!
We decided to buy this particular kitchen because it is foldable, makes sounds and has every essential a real kitchen has.Our daughter who is 17 months just loves it.We have NOT had any problems with it.As far as the oven and fridge door not staying shut (commented by other reveiws), ours does.In fact I think it's a little hard for my daughter to open and close.Which is fine because then she doesn't have all the excessories out at once!This is the first toy my daughter runs to when she wakes up in the morning.Definately worth $49.

Great for Grandma's House!
I bought this a year ago when all three of my grandchildren were coming to visit for 10 days.(The twins(boy & girl)were 22 months and the other girl 19 months.)Of everything I had, this is what they played with ... almost constantly!Since then they have all come to visit again and it's still the hit!The littlest (now 2 1/2) has stayed at my house for the past few months and this is still the thing she goes back to over and over again!I bought this figuring when the grandkids are away it folds up and is easy to store!Now that my granddaughter is moving to her new house (along with mommy & daddy)...her mommy wants to take it with them!I thought they would want a bigger & sturdier one when it came to one just for her but no....this is the one!Think we'll be buying another! ...

Get ready to learn shapes, colors, numbers, letters, face parts, animal sounds, and more with Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang! This Sing & Teach Table features tons of buttons and other interactive gadgets that prompt fun lessons for babies and toddlers, all in the wacky, weird voices of the Muppets. (Presumably, tots are familiar enough with the characters to understand all the squeals and growls.) The semi-circular shaped plastic table stands 12 inches high, not counting the waggling Elmo head that presides over the action. Children sit or stand at the table, lifting the Cookie Monster head to learn about "open" and "closed," spinning a drum for the alphabet song, or picking up a cell phone to hear The Count soliloquize about numbers. Bright, cheerful, and noisy--just what the toddler ordered. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

We LOVE Elmo!
My son LOVED this toy.We bought it for him when he was 8 mos. old and he played with it non stop, that is, until IT stopped working.After only 3 months of use Elmo's head stopped working (that's what my son loved most about the toy was the moving Elmo).So we called Fisher Price3 and of course they would replace the item, but we would have to pay shipping and after paying $35.00 for a toy, I didn't think I should have to pay more for a defective toy.We were dissapointed with Fisher Price's lack of concern about the quality of their products.But for the 3 months it worked, my son loved it!It was his favorite!

Cute but Elmo's head quit moving within 3 months
My daugher LOVES this table and still plays with it, but Elmo's head is supposed to move back and forth while the music plays.She got it for Christmas and she was not rough on it at all and by Easter Elmo's head no longer moved.Other than that it still works fine and she still enjoys it.But she takes her little hand and manually moves Elmo's head back and forth and looks at him like "hey, what's wrong?"Overall a cute toy to teach about eyes, nose, ears, etc. and the alphabet.Plus good for when they are first learning to stand up.

Twin daughters LOVED it!
My girls ended up with three different playtables that were suppose to be the best. THIS is the one they loved the most! ... Read more
