Music time for the baby.
My 4 month old grandson loves when we have ‘music time’ with this. The flashing colors definitely gets his attention, and I like that there are multiple modes here. We can use it as a ‘piano’ and get one note when a ‘piano key’ is touched (and it lights up), or we can touch the keys and it talks about colors and shapes. Or we can use it to have it play musical compositions. There are also different languages (English, French, Spanish) if you so choose.It’s too early to tell how this might impact a baby’s sense of music, but he does seem to enjoy it once a day.My one complaint is that the lowest note on the ‘piano’ doesn’t ‘fit’. It’s flat, considering the other notes on the keyboard.

Does the job
The product does exactly as described. I don’t have a playmat that came with the kick piano so I ordered this one so I could take it from room to room and in the car. There is nothing really remarkable about it. If I have it on the crib I have to tie the ties really tight so it doesn’t slid so I stopped taking it from room to room which is what I intended to use it for. There’s really no way it could go in the car without it constantly falling over unless I rigged something up. I probably would just spend the extra couple bucks for a playmate that comes with one next time. Baby does like the music and lights but he gets over it very easily.

Multi lingual
I love that this toy comes in English, French, and Spanish and I also love that it’s a soft musical toy rather than hard plastic. I like the 3 different soind versions too

Por el precio es un buen producto de calidad. Muy satisfecha con la compra.

A mí bebé le ha encantado, tiene 3 idiomas diferentes y tres modalidades: formas y números, música y piano. Entretiene mucho a los bebés, pueden usarlo para darle patadas o para pulsar con las manitas. La música es muy agradable, sin ser estridente ni muy vista, es original. Está genial que tiene unas cintas para poder ponerla en vertical, por ejemplo, en la cuna

Me sorprendió mucho este juguete. Pensé que estaría medio chafa por el precio pero no, todo lo contrario.Viene con muchas funciones y en 3 idiomas. Todos los botones funcionan y a mi bebé le gustó mucho.
