while i have to admit my triplets like this toy it is dangerous. you must watch your kids while they play with this toy and it should not be left for them to play with at will. my 10 month old got her foot stuck in the tube and my 6 year old neice got her hand stuck while trying to remove a toy that got placed in the tube. the babies love it but i know now not to let them play with it unless I am sitting there with them.
