I bought this item for my 7 month old son and kept it for a whole 2 hours. He was so mesmerized by the dancing monkey, that he paid no attention to the rest of the toy. I exchanged it for the laugh and learn table and he loves it! Don't waste your money on this. The laugh and learn table is cheaper and so much better. It has more for baby to do. The bandstand is great because a baby can sit in front of it and play, but it doesn't hold their attention long enough to be useful.
