This toy, no matter how annoying, is fun for my baby and is teaching her motor skills and cause and effect. I highly recommend it. UPDATE: My baby is now 16 months old and she still really enjoys playing with this toy."
"A bit smaller than I thought it would be but not much, I should have checked the dimensions before buying though so that's on me."

He has the laptop, remote control, sit to stand (all time favortie - love love love this one), Iphone, etc. Today I put some of his other little toys in the back of the dump truck with the rocks."

"Truth: a couple of the songs it plays are fairly annoying, but it does have two volume settings."

"The puppy on the front is adorable and easy for kids to grab ahold of and "pet" and it quickly grabs their attention. The rattle could have been done a little better for little kids I think because you have to grab it to make it work well (see pictures)."

";). Nice and colorful and does what we expected as a safe stacking learning toy (but remind whoever opens it - you really should give it a quick rinse first!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Great Touch Activity Desk for learning all sorts of things. A few things to note: the child needs to learn not to lean on/touch the table other than when they are intentionally touching/interacting with it. The table is very sensitive - you don't push the buttons, you just touch it - so it goes all haywire when she's leaning on it. It might be nice if they gave a little border at the front so kids can lean on it/put their hands somewhere - and have the buttons further up. Older children can be taught to be careful - but my 2 year old wouldn't know until she got hurt. The stool and table are quite strong and sturdy due to the legs bending out - so it has a nice wide base. Personally, my 2 year old needs some more growing up and calming down before she can really take advantage of this product, but there's no doubt that she can learn a lot from it."
"So if you buy this watch the fingers when they pull the table back down to play."
"He had the original Touch and Learn Activity Desk which was one of his favorite toys; however, the new expansion packs only fit this new desk. The desk is very interactive and holds my toddler's attention for very long periods of time."
"Music Jammer with colorful keyboard and different musical instruments, plus music genres (jazz, hip-hop, rock, pop, R&B). 5. Fruits & Colors. Yes, there is an OFF button, Parents - but, unfortunately, it's easy enough for a child to turn it back on. There is a clear female voice that gives directions, sings, and in other ways interacts with the child."
"Touch pad seems a little dull, but with a kids toy maybe that’s better than being super sensitive?"
"He even eats there now because she can't convince him half the time to stop playing with it."
"We got this because my 3 year old is getting more curious about learning and thought he should get something other than dinos."
"However, after about an hour of play, it started catching on the letter “x”."

"At this point, it's mostly a chew toy (especially when her two bottom teeth came in), but she has loved it for a few months now."
"The packaging says that it is to help baby identify the toy from all the others, but it was just a bit too strong."
"Got the authentic Sophie and baby loves it!"
"Even though the "quality" of the one I purchased from Amazon seemed "ok", there was clear issues & errors with the packaging and toy itself that were dead giveaways. You have no idea what type of paint and rubber is used on the fake ones and taking the chance is not worth the few extra bucks savings. Hooves are bigger and more "defined" on the real one. I hope this helps everyone looking to purchase one of these great toys."
"I did not put hot glue over the hole, because that pops right out if it's chewed enough and it would've become a choking hazard. This mold growth was due to excessively drooly babies using it for over two years for it's intended purpose- a teething toy."
"Who knows what kind of chemical our baby has been sucking on... Also, the paint is pretty much gone now."

Find Best Price at Amazon"She was holding it with one hand on each side, and kissing the mirror. I think it was a great value for the money, and even better for how much fun my little friend had with the toy."
"This mirror doesn't stand up well at all."
"A plastic mirror obviously isn't going to be as clear as a glass mirror, but it's definitely not as bad as a fun house mirror like other reviewers have mentioned. Once the film was removed, it's pretty darn clear for a plastic mirror, and definitely good enough for a baby to look at."
"The baby doesn't really look in the mirror to 'see the baby' because they are so distracted by the bugs."
"Yes, designed for children, but the mirrored material could have been backed by a hard clear plastic to keep it flat and smooth."
"My baby is more interested in the lady bug on the side of the mirror than the mirror itself, and even that curiosity wanes after a couple minutes."
"Baby also loves when I spin the ball on it and crinkle the bee wings, but I'm pretty sure he'll knock it over when he's old enough to do it himself since it's so light."
"It's a soft, shiny vinyl in a sturdy frame and surrounded by foam."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I saw the issues about the wheels sliding on hard floors, being too light to support a child while standing up, going too fast and kids falling on their face... Wheels sliding on hard floors... False, there is a rubber seam on the rear wheels that prevents side to side motion. My 12 month old (recieved this for his birthday) uses the locked setting on the main floor where it's hard floor and the free spinning setting on the carpet."
"Let me also clear up any confusion on why my LO likes this walker - My LO likes this as a toy, loves the music and sounds. - There are two settings to control the speed of the walker (however, we have never used more than one which is the slowest - We have used this walker on hardwood floors - you might want to use the faster setting if using on carpet). - The musical unit will keep your LO entertained for hours! We have had a couple falls, not really bad ones, and while I understand that kids fall and hurt themselves, its not fun when your LO is attempting to stand with the walkers help and the walker slips and runs away. All in all, this was much better than the other walkers we tried. The other name brand walker we purchased was no where in comparison to this walker. Please note - pediatricians now recommend not using a walker, I feel if you are constantly watching over your LO this is probably the safest walker and the most fun walker out there - minus the differences in the older and the newer models."
"A few days later, still a little sad that I couldn't find anything else, a friend of mine posted a video of her kiddos (she has twins) playing with the same toy I wasn't buying!! If your baby is ready to start walking then this toy is absolutely wonderful but please know that if your baby cannot stand on their own, then they are not ready to be walking with this toy so just get it for them to press the buttons since it can be easily removed until they can stand and walk with it. That is what it is made for. I gave the educational value a four because while there are a million things on it that baby can learn from, they probably are not going to because they will be so busy wanting to push a million other buttons."

There is no car floor--our living room carpeting helps keep pretend driving comfortable and stationary."
"One door opens, two wheels move (but the car is stationary), and there is storage space inside the "trunk" for the included blocks and shapes."
"Be aware that the door opens easily so a younger baby can tip over and out of the car if he leans to closely to that side (once a stronger sitter this should not be an issue)."
