My Daugher LOVES This Toy!

by Dana N. 2008-10-18

I saw this toy when researching what to get my daughter for her first birthday. I also saw the Learning Kitchen. I wanted to get her both, but it just wasn't something we could do based on the price of both toys, so we decided to buy her the kitchen (which is also amazing!). A few weeks later we were at a children's consignment shop and saw this toy for an amazing $15. It was in perfect condition, already put together and had all of the parts with it. From the day we brought it home, my daughter has played with it almost non-stop. She loves the "mail" and mailbox, the lightswitch, opening and closing the door and the window, playing the radio, moving the hands on the clock, flipping through the address book and spinning the sun/moon. It even incorporates other Fisher Price toys, and has a "charger" spot for the Laugh & Learn Learning Phone. We usually set this up with her ride-on toys next to it as a drive way, and put the kitchen behind it. She loves to play with this toy and it really is an excellent choice. Great job, Fisher Price!!

Best Toy We Have Purchased

by Tax Mom 2008-10-17

We bought this toy for our son when he was around 7 months old. This was during the time he was crawling and pulling up on everything! He is of the personality that nothing really entertains him for more than 5 minutes (even his leapfrog table that most kids love), but he will play with this toy for quite some time. He is now 10 months old and walking and still plays with this toy every day. It has been a lot of fun watching him learn new things about the toy as he gets older. He loves putting the balls down the shoot and flipping the light switch on and off. I love how sturdy the toy is because my son is constantly pulling up on it and even tries climbing up it. I feel like this toy will continue to be a hit with him until he is a year and a half or so.

kids love it

by J. Mcdonald 2008-10-17

I brought this toy yesterday and it's a hit! I brought it for my 9month old twin boys...but my older kids totally took over lol...they're 15,14 and 11....I had to shoo them away so the babies could play :) I must say though...the price of this toy is kind of high...I brought mine from babys r us for 70 bucks....even though I had a 15% off coupon..it's still pricy.....I took the plunge though after reading all of the glowing reviews....they were pretty dead on...this toy's packed with things to do...my favorite...is the little light switch on the back....TO CUTE!! I can see this toy growing with my boys...and being one that they'll love for a long time!

great, but watch the price!

by Laura B. Ogle 2008-10-08

This was an awesome toy for our son when he was 9 months to when he was 2.5 years. We had to leave it behind when we moved to a different state, and now I really want one for our daughter, but I can't believe how expensive they are on amazon! You can buy them from fisher-price's website for 70, but other stores (like babiesrus/toysrus) have them for even cheaper. Of course shipping is an issue if there aren't any stores near you, but DON'T buy a "new or used" one through amazon for $20 + higher than you can buy new from a different store!

My 15 month old was hurt by this toy!!!!! Please read!

by Heather 2008-08-17

My son got this for his first birthday. He really enjoyed it and overall it seems like a fabulous toy, BUT yesterday (at almost 16 months) he was playing by the mailbox and stood up and his foot went onto the rolling toy under the mailbox and he slipped and fell backward VERY HARD onto his back and head. Imagine slipping on a rolling pin. It scared me so bad and I'm the type of mother who usually says, "oh get up you're fine" when my boys fall. He was screaming and later that night had a bruise on his shoulder blade. I called the doctor after it happened and was told to observe him and not put him down for a nap for 2 hours. Luckily we have carpet and I had it in the middle of our living room. Had it have been another foot, foot and a 1/2, over he'd have fallen and hit his head on our entertainment center. I will be calling Fisher Price on Monday to find out how to exchange this product for the kitchen. It was a gift and I called the giver but it's been 4 months since they bought it and they no longer have the receipt. I hope they are a respectful enough company to exchange it. Please purchase the Laugh and Learn Kitchen instead or keep this far from furniture and watch your child closely.
