I had seen this toy at a friends house and my daughter went crazy over it. I knew we had to buy it. Then we saw it was almost $50 at the store. We bought it anyway and crossed our fingers. Success! This toy helped her pull herself up and learn how to stand more steadily. She has now had it for over six months and still plays with it weekly. Putting Cheerios or Puffs in the container area is a hit, too! She is always checking under that blue lid.**Update- I changed my high star ratings lower. This toy only lasted about five months and even with new batteries, it would not work right. This isn't the only one with this problem. Another friend of mine found that theirs did the same thing. Sad.
