"It has two volume settings and the music is very soothing, unlike some other toys that make the kids very hyper."
"When our daughter was really little, we could always play this for her and she would calm down and listen -- but she never understood how to press the button on her own until about 10 months - she always wanted to press the lights instead!"
"* Didn't work and then was charged to ship the product back."

"* This is one of the best musical toys I have ever bought. It has two volume settings and the music is very soothing, unlike some other toys that make the kids very hyper. It plays classical melodies and doesn't have any over-the-top lights or functions."
"the songs are great classical pieces (I can name most of them) and you get to hear two or three times more of the song than you would on any other toy (even other baby einsteins)... When our daughter was really little, we could always play this for her and she would calm down and listen -- but she never understood how to press the button on her own until about 10 months - she always wanted to press the lights instead!... it would be cool if they matched a pattern with the pitches, but that's not really a drawback for me personally."
"She played with it every day and we have to bring it with her everytime when we go out with she being in her stroller-----cuz it can make her calm everytime when she started to cry! BUT the round part with the colorful wheel on it is paper made so it got more and more wet(she liked to crew it and her drool got there easily) finally we had to scratch the whole thing out so baby wouldn't eat little piece of paper or may be some glue! BUT unfortunately, it stopped working after about 2 months usage, now the light still can sparkle but no music playing my husband tried to repair but we couldn't make it work again so disappointed cuz my daughter loved it so much!!"

"the songs are great classical pieces (I can name most of them) and you get to hear two or three times more of the song than you would on any other toy (even other baby einsteins). I feel that this develops her attention span and ability to recognize a larger musical structure. The sound quality is great and there are different sounds for the melody and accompaniment parts. When our daughter was really little, we could always play this for her and she would calm down and listen -- but she never understood how to press the button on her own until about 10 months - she always wanted to press the lights instead! Now she loves to walk around pressing the button. The lights sync to the music rhythmically but they seem randomized.. it would be cool if they matched a pattern with the pitches, but that's not really a drawback for me personally."
