Mine didn't wear out...impressed with durability
I got this for my son for his 1st Christmas, and it was the best $20 I spent. This thing has lasted for EVER...he has pounded on it, stopped the wheels with his hands and feet, sat on it, stood on it, turned it upside down and fallen on it...it still hasn't kicked it...I keep waiting on the motor to give it up, but the thing just keeps taking the abuse. My son was 5 months when we gave it to him, and it was an incentive to sit up and play, as well as a fun way for him to learn hand/eye coordination by dropping the balls in the primary tree house hole. When he tired of just doing that he learned to push the button, step on the button and bang the button with other toys. Now he's working on sliding things in at the triggers on the ball paths from the back of the toy...It's not MY personal favorite, but we're on our second set of batteries in a world where he loses interest before one set wears out...I'm happy with my 7 months of enjoyment for 20 bucks. I love him try and fit NEW things through that hole (his shoe the other day), and he doesn't mind the noise and music, so I try not too...
Great toy, but stops spinning after some time
My son got this when he was six months old, and it really taught him a lot. The night he got it, he learned how to sit up on his own without support. It taught him how to push the button to make it spin, and really held his attention. Over a year later, he's still playing with it, although he uses it to put his zoo animals in. The only thing that I don't like is that it stopped spinning. It still makes the sounds, but the wheels just stopped turning. I took the whole thing apart, tried to make sure the bands were on properly, and still nothing. I replaced the batteries, everything. The spinning function is just dead. He still uses it, so overall it's a great toy, but don't expect it to last long enough to be passed down to a younger child.
Lots of fun for baby, but wears out in weeks!
Like some many others, I found that this toy was a lot of fun for my baby. UNFORTUNATELY it wore out in a matter of weeks. I tried taking it apart. I was able to get it to work for a few more weeks, but after that it refused to spin. It has been very frustrating since we bought more balls just for this toy. What a waste! I am going to call the company tomorrow!
