We got this when our babies were 6 months old and they have loved it from day one. They love the lights and music and now that they are older (8 months), they are able to press it to turn the music and lights on and off. The recommended age is 1 year but I think that is a little old EXCEPT you have to be very careful when your kids are learning to stand that you don't have it near them. If they fall near it, it could hurt a little until they are old enough to control their standing and walking. I definitely recommend this. I don't even tire of the music which is great.
