Fisher - Price Go Baby Go Bat and Wobble Penguin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a compromise when I bought the Fisher-Price Crawl-Along Drum Roll for our daughter (Daddy picked the drum, mommy picked the penguin).
We have had no problems with this toy. You put in the 80's favorite size of batteries (C, nothing else but the Fisher-Price Open Top Take-Along Swing - Rainforest and an old boom box run on C batteries) and it's weighted fine. Maybe it didn't pop up because batteries weren't in there. The batteries add weight to make the whole thing work as intended.
It wasn't hard to blow up. The valve is more "industrial" than most valves, so I agree that it takes more than blowing up a small beach ball, but I see that as added quality and not a knock.
The only issue so far, is that at medium range, our daughter is scared of the blasted thing. Close up, she is fine with it. She "bats" it and no problem. Far away, daddy hits it and she laughs. But at two-ish feet, she screams in bloody murder at the scary attacking penguin with the creepy clown-like "huuuuh-huuuh-huuuh-uh-huh" that it makes when "batted."
And the last thing that is just my two cents, but oh well. There is no real educational value to this toy. It's fun. But really, I see it as beginning self-defense training. It says somewhere on the box that it teaches your kid to "bat." What the heck is "batting" but "hitting?" I'm all about the real toys and sick of this PC stuff, which is why I'll train her to kick the thing in a month from her Johnny Jump-Up. But whatever. I thought I'd just add that.

The Bat and Wobble Penguin is a fun blow-up toy that encourages baby's development. As baby bats at this adorable friend, he wobbles around and balls roll inside. Baby is rewarded with one of two fun tunes or four silly sound effects. He's on a weighted base so he'll never tip over, and he won't go far so baby will be encouraged to play again and again! Perfectly sized for sitting or standing babies. With an on/off switch. Requires two "C" batteries, not included. Measures 9.5"L x 9.5"W x 18"H.

Fisher-Price Bop & Rock Musical Lion Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying that my 8-month-old loves this toy, but as the other reviewer stated, it continually falls over at the slightest touch. Considering that the toy comes with a plastic hammer with which to strike three balls and the rattles the lion holds, it makes for frustrating play (particularly for the adult that must constantly hold the toy to prevent it from toppling over). It seems like the toy was never tested with an actual infant because I discovered the fault within the first few minutes of play. It's disappointing that the "experts" at Fisher-Price would allow this toy to be marketed considering that it does NOT work as intended in the slightest. If my daughter didn't enjoy it so much, it certainly would be returned or in the trash. But as it stands, I'm doomed to balance the toy with one hand, while trying to play with her and help her replace the plastic balls with the other. I would not recommend this toy at all until Fisher-Price sees fit to either make the base heavier or wider to help off-set the imbalance.

Pounding ball play has never been this much fun! A cute lion character joins baby as they play with the 3 included balls and soft plastic hammer. Baby can easily load the balls on top of the holes in the lion's drum and pound them through, getting fun tunes, lights, SFX and surprise roll out action. For added fun baby can bat at the friendly lion and be rewarded with a fun tipping action, tunes, SFX and lights.
