Customer Review: wanted to love it
Summary: 2 Stars
I really wanted to love this product. Got it for my son for Christmas when he was 7 months old. I knew he was a little too young at the time but he loved the balls which are the perfect shape for grasping and exploring. Some have bells, and one especially was cool with a shiny spinner in it which mesmerized even me. (The product comes with only 5 balls, not 7 as shown in the photo)
This product seems to have everything right in a developmental toy. It's colorful, not electronic, makes sounds, has differently colored balls which are easy to grasp and can teach colors, and teaches tracking (it's not too fast) as well as cause and effect of course. And for the adult, it seems like it could occupy a child for a good amount of time (and since time and sleep are precious to parents of very young ones that is a good thing), and another plus is that the pieces separate for easier storage.
The kids who had the most fun with this toy at that time were the 3 and 6 year old kids but for their age, might as well get the marble run type sets where they can learn cause and effect by building their own track and problem solve.
Anyway, back to the baby's experience with the toy. I figured if we just started off with one ramp level instead of two, he would be able to reach it sitting down. He was able to, but any pressure on any part of the toy whatsoever would make even the low tower crumble and fall apart. If I set up both levels, the thing would topple over and hit him on the head when there was the least it pressure on part of it.
I read another user did hot glue and duct tape. I mean if we have to use glue and duct tape for afn infant/ toddler toy, it's probably not worth paying $30 for it. Anyway, so I just figured he was too young to not pull the tower down and waited until 9, then 11 or so months. It still toppled over and crumbled and had to be re-assembled every 30 seconds-1 minute or so.
So I waited again until 12 months and then now at 14 months. It still topples over but a little less frequently. BUT here's the deal. At this age (1 and up), cause and effect is fun to learn, but the balls now move much too slowly and he grabs the balls before they roll down the ramp into the next ramp and drops them back up top. They never make it to the bottom. I might as well have cut a hole in the side of a container and he could drop a ball in there and retrieve it after it's rolled out.
