UPDATE...This is nice. Keeps my baby occupied for a few minutes. Shs is 5 mths. My baby is 11 mths now. She loves this so much to the point it annoys me. She will play it and as it stops doesnt matter what she is doing she stops and go press it again. I love that she loves it. We have been out of town a few times and i always bring it with us

Excellent learning toy, stimulating classical tunes, safe for handling from 6 months Up

I bought this as a Christmas present for my 6 month-old twin nieces as 17 years ago, I purchased the same toy for my daughter. My daughter played with this cube from age 1 until she was nearly 4 years old. While the sound quality is not as good as the original (that was purchased nearly 20 years ago), this toy is still brilliant for several reasons. This musical cube plays several Orchestra/Classical-style tunes and you can cycle between all of the songs by pressing the Orchestra button. As each musical panel (violin, percussion, strings, etc.) is pressed, that panel is removed from the song. This gives the option of listening to an entire tune with just the flute or just the harp, etc. ~ Also, there is a volume button! This was Not on the original cube. You now have the option of listening to it at a reasonable level or a quieter level. I am sure that this toy is one that my nieces will enjoy as much as my daughter did.

Best music baby toy

Least annoying baby music toy out there. I hate toys that make noise. And I throw most of them away. I'm more into wood toys, and toys that are "active" as opposed this "passive" (push button and listen) toy. However.... I had the old model and after 3 years it broke and I immediately bought this one for baby #2 to keep playing with it. It's the only toy my 3 year old plays with that she has been playing with since a baby. She jumps and dances to it and we've made up games to play with the buttons. In the dollar-per-hour-of-play formula I use to measure value... this one wins

MY favorite baby toy

I love this toy! It plays classic, non-annoying music with decent sound quality. Each individual instrument can be turned on and off, and you can really hear the difference with each one. I was playing with it for my own entertainment before my daughter was old enough to do it herself. Both my babies have enjoyed watching the lights and listening to the music, and now my two year old still plays with it too. (She is figuring out turning on separate instruments.) We received ours as a gift two years ago, and then I had to buy one for my nephew last year. Every baby needs one in my opinion (: And on Amazon what a great price! I have seen them for twice what I paid here, in specialty toy stores.

Must Have

This hands down is our sons (6 mo) faviorate toy. I hate noisy toys. Lights too as they just scream cheap. This cube, however, is amazing. He plays with it for up to 15 minutes many times a day. I never get sick of the songs. Like another reviewer said, it's the perfect size for the baby to use as a counter balance while learning to sit up. Every baby/parent needs this toy. If they came out with another cube with new songs/insterments I would buy it in a hearbeat! Munchkin, of your reading this please come out with one that has a Souzaphone! Babys dad plays the souzaphone! Or one with a banjo that has bluegrass music!

Fun!

This is one of our favorite toys. By which I mean I love it just as much as my 1 year old does. She's been playing with it since about 11 months. I was amazed at how quickly she figured it out and "builds" her instrumentation. All her little play groupies love it too. You will definitely have these songs stuck in your head...but so much better than Raffi;) Also, she routinely drops it on the hardwood floor, and it still looks and works great.

Great sounding baby toy with shut off switch

I have a basic rule with toys- if it doesn't have a shut-off switch, we don't keep it. Or if it sounds terrible - we don't keep it. This toy is awesome. It has decent sound for a baby/kids toy. (I say that because our little boy has had many toys that have been annoying noise machines gifted by family/friends...and this one is NOT annoying.) It sounds pleasant actually. And I like that each side of it plays a different representation of an instrument. It has an off-low-loud switch. Both our baby and our little boy love playing with this toy. You don't have to worry about this thing going off randomly in the middle of the night (ugg...I'm looking at you cheap cornerstore toy cars) or when ever-so-slightly being bumped. Wish you could get different renditions of this. It's based on a traditional orchestra.... would be nice to hear a jazz band or rock version of this.

One of My Son's Favorite toys

My son loves this toy. When he pushes one of the large buttons it plays a song. Press two and both songs play. He plays with this over and over again and it has three items he loves - a button to push, lights and music. Ideal for him and I think for lots of babies. Note he was not strong enough to push the buttons until six or seven months of age but once he was strong enough this was a toy he went back to over and over again. Seems to be well made - it has been dropped many times and still works fine. Also the music is pleasant classical music.

New Favorite

We love love this toy! We got it for my son when he was 4 months old and at first he was only entertained with the fact that it made noise but no more than anything else that did. Now that he's almost 6 months it's been a new favorite of his. He is learning cause and effect so loves hitting the buttons and making it play, even with his feet when he's lying down. I also love this toy for the fact that it's perfect for when babies are learning to sit, my son props himself up on it and plays. Usually he just gets frustrated when he pushes a toy out of reach and ends up bent too far foward to pull himself back up. One of the few toys I would say is actually worth the few extra dollars and is far less annoying to hear repeated over and over than others.
