This interactive toy is suitable for babies six months and up and is a first step of getting them into gaming. It's very hands-on with bright lights, sounds and plenty of buttons for them to press. They're also great for learning thanks to the ABCD buttons and number pad. It's also a great toy for developing their fine-motor skills.
One reviewer said: "Bought this as a present for my current 4 month old for Christmas as he's not overly interested in a lot of toys designed for his age. He was really interested in this for the short time I let him look at it, and I'm hoping it's still a hit once Christmas comes and goes."

One reviewer said: "We’ve had it for a few days and baby loves it. She dances to the songs (well she kind of jiggles) and is really engaged with how interactive it is. It is very easy to assemble and took about a minute to do. She stands and holds the handle and will soon be wizzing around the house.
