Review of FISHER PRICE SINGING STAR GYM

Customer Ratings:

We bought this toy when our son was just two months old and he loves it. We are at five months now and he still gets a huge kick out of it.

There are so many ways to play! At first we'd lay him on his back an he would swat at the dangling rattles. They are bright and attention-getting. When he'd hit one, music would play and the lights would flash; it kept his attention. It didn't take much effort, and helped develop his coordination. There aren't many toys a two-month-old will play with. Then he learned that he could push the buttons to play and change songs.

The toy is re-positionable, so it can be used when the baby is laying down, with the rattles hanging. Tilt it at 45 degrees and sit him in a bouncer or car seat under it. At 90 degrees when he's standing (we still have to help him stand). And with a switch in the legs' configuration, it can be positioned so that he sits and plays.

There are (at least) 6 sound modes, ranging from one button playing a whole song, through pressing buttons that prompt a song to continue, to one button being a single tone (like a keyboard).

We love this toy and so does our son. It is good for just about everything except tummy time. We expect to get at least a year out of the developmental value.

Just another two things about it: it is very sturdy construction, but not a good toy to balance or lean on, and it is EASY to reconfigure.

Update: Our son is now 3.5 years and STILL plays with this toy. We put it away a while and when our daughter was born, brought it out for her, and he plays with it every chance he gets. We just change the settings to single notes for him and he still gets a thrill from it. It was completely worth our investment! And, of course, our daughter also loves it.]

Second Update: Our son (now 6) and daughter (now 4) played with this until last month, when we *finally* gave it to a friend's daughter, who also loves it. So far, hands-down, this toy has been well worth every penny we paid for it. So durable that even with six years of play between two kids, it's still as good as new, with just a few scuffs from wear.

We have the Sparkling Symphony Gym at home, and just got this gym at my baby's grandparents' house. I like this better because you can convert it for a baby to play lying down, sitting or standing, while the SSG works only lying down or standing (not sitting). My 7-mo-old is at the sitting stage so this is perfect for her, and will last quite a long time as she can use it while standing. The music is quite nice -something you won't get sick of when listening to it over and over. It's very easy to put together. My baby seems to love it -she whacks at the keys, smiles really big, and bounces her whole body up and down as she plays the piano.

This is a very entertaining and educational toy. I also like the fact that it allows you to interact wtih your baby. My 5-month-old daughter just lights up when I get down on the floor with her and pick out songs on the piano and sing to her. Yes, you really can pick out a few simple songs ("Mary Had a Little Lamb," etc.) on the piano when you have it set at #3.

My daughter does spend quite a lot of time playing with this. She really likes to watch the stars light up. She started out just batting at the hanging pieces, but now she actively holds onto them and is pleased when she can make noises with them. She will even reach up and bang on the keys every once in awhile.

There is a volume control on the back of this, but so far I haven't found it useful to have it on the louder setting. The low is just fine.

I am impressed with the way this activity gym converts for when she is older. I am looking forward to her playing with this for a long time.

Honest reviews on FISHER PRICE SINGING STAR GYM

What would you pay for a toy that entertains your child, makes them smile and giggle with delight and plays some of the best toy music youve ever heard? Well Id pay a lot more than the

price for this toy!

I never thought Id buy a musical toy, they all annoyed me! But

I saw this toy online and checked out the sound at TRU and I bought it. I bought it for my now 6 month old when she turned 3 months and she has loved it from the day we brought it home!

I love that this is a toy that will grow with your baby from laying on the floor, sitting to standing. And at each phase the toy performs differently teaching your baby new things.

There is absolutly nothing about this toy that we dont like. She plays with it for 20-40 minutes at a time since we gave it to her! Which allowed me to take a shower, eat something, etc.

This is a fantastic toy and one that your baby will love and grow into for a long time.

I love this toy. I love toys that grow w/ your child and this is definately one of them. My baby is over 5 months old so she constantly swats at the dangling toys. When my daughter was younger, I had the music playing constantly, but now that shes able to swat and grab I put the setting on when the dangling toys gets hit. My daughter isnt able to sit up yet, but when the time comes I will be able to convert it so the toy will be in front of her.
