Is the foot piano a mat or are there separate keys? If the keys are separate, can they hurt my baby's feet?

They are separate keys but they aren't far enough apart to hurt the baby's foot. I never had an issue with that at all.

It's like a big Plastic piano with gigantic keys; the baby's feet will be fine my baby likes playing in this and I usually have her barefoot inside; it always seems hard to find toys babies like and get some "exercise" in. I chose not to do a walker because pediatrician had advised against it ( and I don't want her making dents in my stainless steel stuff in the kitchen! LoL I hope this helps

The foot piano is made of keys. I was a little disappointed in it for the first few minutes but it is an awesome toy and will not hurt their feet. My daughter absolutely loves it

The foot is hard plastic. I do not see a way for your baby to hurt his/ her feet. My baby has had his piano for a few months and loves it. The keys barely stick up so I don't see any room for pinching.

I am not sure what you mean by "weighted", but no the keys do not feel exactly like a piano, but very close. It does have a pedal to give the sustained sound of a piano. On the Baby Grand setting it sounds exactly like a piano.

No they do not this is a soft surface mat that rolls or folds up. This is not the floor piano from Big. It does record and play back what the children play if you want it to. It has several instrument voices you can select and beat box feature that can create a rhythm section to play with.

No, it doesn't automatically play when he/she bounces. They must press the piano for music to play and it is a good little piano. Also, by the piano are color shaped buttons that play a little tune when pressed. My daughter loves that and dances to it!Rings can be reached if there is enough of an extension. So you may want to add a few rings linked together. It's a great way to get them moving by reaching for the outside rings.

I don't think so. You can position the baby anywhere on the mat. The baby will enjoy reaching for the hanging toys and kicking the piano keys if you position the baby with his/her feet at the piano. My grandson loves this toy.

I would say yes as well. But with my LO she flips around the mat anyways and is usually completely crooked or 180'd by the time she's done playing so it doesn't matter too much. The piano portion was good when she was smaller and less mobile with rolling.

its the massage bonus they don't mention... if you close the kickstand it will give them something else to dig their toes into. Also I don't let my little one wear shoes while in it so it doesn't hurt if she does kick or wiggle her toes into my back

You could use the mat for a baby. It's much thicker than those foam pieces. The only think is the mat is not that wide so it's a pretty small playing surface.

You are able to press down the keys, but it is easier than normal piano keys. Some keyboards are weighted, so that they feel more like a real piano. These keys aren't weighted, so it is different than a real piano, but they still feel and work great. It is a great buy for the price and works great.

They have one that has a foot rest for the child, get that one maybe. My granddaughter loves her trike but her legs are to short to stay on the pedals as a 14 month old and she is to young to know not to keep putting her feet on the wheel. Just to let you know we still use it, her feet can not really get hurt with closed in shoes, because everything is plastic. It will just get a light color shoe really dirty looking. My husband is working on something to hang over the main bar for her feet to be placed in so her feet have some other place to rest other than the wheel. Just a Grandparent loving time with the little one

Yes. They are perfect if you want your child to learn on piano sized keys. My children take lessons from a piano teacher on this.

The piano changes position and can be taken off for children a few years old, so he should be able to get a lot of use out of it and may enjoy using it sitting up. My son is 4 months and he plays with it while I prop him up.

I don't think so. It's like a regular keyboard, not heavy like a piano. It's more like a child's toy. But great for beginners like me. I'm an adult.

There are 4 switch positions: Off...Learning Time....Music Time...Let's Play. Piano keys, when pressed on Learning Time, count up to 8. My 4 key gets stuck sometimes but still works. If yours is not counting past 3 and is just not getting stuck on that number; it could be defective.

Gary, I purchased this for my Granddaughters. It is very delicate and broke before they even had time to enjoy the music. Yes you can play it like a keyboard. I try to fix it but when I took the back off (it takes batteries) the buttons inside have nothing holding them in. It is not a good item and not sturdy enough for the price. Hope this is helpful. My Granddaughters are 5 & 3 and very mature & have regular keyboards at their homes this was so they could play at my home. Good luck.

Yes, the keys are light like a keyboard, not like a piano. Not even like semi-weighted keys. They are however sensitive to velocity.

Hi- the keys are weighted and it feels and sounds like an upright. It plays wonderfully and there is no other key noise that we can hear. It's worked out great for our beginner player!
