We have owned this toy for a little over two years. My almost 3 yr old received it for her first Christmas. Two years and another toddler later, this toy STILL gets playtime in our house. We move it into different rooms, and our little man 19mo searches for it, and finds it to play for a good long time with it. My almost 3yr old will play with it too...Awesome! see less

I bought this for my son's first Birthday. He has been playing with it everyday for a couple months and it played a major role in helping him learn how to walk. Sme reviews say it has sharp edges and loose screws. I went over this thing with a fine tooth comb. Every edge is smooth and rounded, sanded to perfection. The screws are fastened tight and it is a very substantial and solid toy. It enhances motor skills and I love using the alphabet and animal references when teaching my son. And I can say the quality of the one I purchased is satisfactory. see less

We bought this for our son when he was 10 months old. At 13 months he still enjoys it, although I do hide it away every so often just to keep it fresh--bring it out again after a week or so and it's like a brand new toy again! For what it's worth, he LOVES the box it came in. I was about to recycle it about a month ago, but he got a hold of it. He plays with it every day...he gets busy pushing it around, playing peekaboo with the cat in it, dropping toys in through the holes in the sides. Seriously, the fun he has with the cardboard box combined with the toy itself is worth the price! see less

I purchased this for our ... see more

I purchased this for our 16 month old son whom cannot talk. He LOVE noises and loves to play music and use the piano app on my phone. We purchased the Drum set from B. and he loved that so I picked this up. Took some getting used to but he dances and loves to hit the keys and all the buttons. I would even reccomend this for younger children as it would be great to work on fine motor skills! Love this brand of toys will keep buying! see less

Yes, it can be annoying after a while for the parents, and may leave you with the songs in your head after it's shut off, but our daughter absolutely loves this toy! She plays with it daily and multiple times a day. It was definitely a great purchase and the microphone part is a great addition, even down to the retractable cord. see less

We bought this for our daughter when she was about 5 months old. Not only did she love it, but Mom did too! I sing along with the catchy songs & she smiles & laughs. She's now 10 months old & still plays with it. She loves the microphone now that she finally learned what it does. We did have to buy a new one because she spit up on the keys & it no longer worked, but it's such a popular toy in our house that I went to Target that same day to get her a new one! I also bought it as a birthday present for my nephews first birthday & he enjoys it very much too! see less

My son is one years old. My good friend bought these for hi for Christmas this year 2012. He picks them up and some rattles and a bell rings within. The best part is clicking noise as you pull back on the car, and when it takes off it makes such a cute sound! I have spent today writing five reviews for B toy products. Most of his toys came from over the holiday and previous personal purchases. I buy for my children and I gift them as well. I highly reccommmend all B toys to anyone looking to buy gifts or add that extra special surprise to a regular day. This is a wonderful product and my six year old plays with it! see less

These are the best cars for a baby through toddler. Even at 9 mos old my grandson could pull back on them and make them zoom. It's great to have something so easy to operate and that doesn't need batteries. Of all his cars, these are his favorite. They are quality made, and perfect for baby's first cars or for older toddler. When you see these in the store, you can't tell from the packaging how easily they zoom by just pulling back on the cars on the floor. Others reviews online convinced me to buy them and they were right. see less

My little man which is ALMOST 3 loves these cars. Wish they moved a little better on their own once pulled back, but overall great toy! see less

Our three year old loves this Dr kit so much, that we also bought it for our 1 year old nephew!Great for little one's who make frequent Dr trips! see less

I think the best part about this toy is that the stethescope comes equipped with a heartbeat. It's great. You push the red button & you can hear it play through the ear pieces! The blood pressure toy has a needle that spins as you push the yellow bulb. The tupperware storage case is great & locks well!The only thing I did not care for is the pager is annoying. It's a miniature version of a smoke detector going off - that is exactly what it sounds like.Anyway, my 3yr old will vouch for it - she loves her doctor kit. see less

Bought this item for my grandson for Christmas. He was very excited when he opened it. I was afraid the box would be hard for him to open and close but he had no problems with it. see less

I love these blocks! They're perfect for small handed babies, chewing and of course stacking! The designs on them keeps my child interested in looking and tlaking about the pictures and when you have a one year old boy who likes destruction there is nothing better than soft blocks being thrown about. I highly reccommend this not only as a personal home purchase but as an adorable gift! I love adding these to a baby shower gift basket because parents don't think their baby will grow fast but turn around in four months and they're playing with it! I love B toys! see less

My son starting playing with these at six months and they are perfect! Bright colors keep babies interested, light weight so they can pick them up, and squishy for chewing and won't hurt if they fall on them. And you can wash them easily! Seriously cannot say enough good stuff about these blocks! see less

My 4 month old LOVES thes ... see more

My 4 month old LOVES these. They are perfect for little hands to grab and pick up because of the creative designs on each block that go with each number. These blocks will be a helpful learning tool once my baby is older. Right now he loves to knock down the towers I make and chew on them. see less

My 10 month old just got these for christmas, and her favorite out of everything she got. I love how realistic they are compared to mine. No more baby drool on my keys so thats a plus , These are a must buy!! see less

My 8 mo old loves keys--my keys, daddy's keys, or any other household items he is not allowed to play with. These are perfect! We have a few sets of plastic keys and teething keys which he enjoys but these are perfect be/c they are made of steel so they sound and look just like our keys! He loves them. They are very well made and the colors are really cute...not obnoxious hot pinks and greens. LOVE THE PRICE! I can spend 10 bucks on anything my kid will enjoy for the next year, on something that provides consistent entertainment when we are out and about and a toy that fits perfectly in my over-stuffed diaper bag. This would make a great Christmas gift for you little beans! see less

I bought the purple ones for my 9 month old daughter. She loves anything that isn't a baby toy, haha, so this "toy" was perfect for her. She loves chewing on the metal keys. What a cute toy & brand! I'll definitely be buying other toys from this company/brand! see less

My 3 year old daughter lo ... see more

My 3 year old daughter loves it. Its the right size for taking on trips, and the soft under-pad is a nice added plus. I also love how it comes with 4 animal magnets instead of just boring shapes. I think that's my daughter's favorite part. Overall, I love it and would recommend it. It looks unique, its well made, and the fact that the company who makes it donates a percentage to a worthy cause sealed the deal for me. Buy this item, its worth it. see less

We bought this for my dau ... see more

We bought this for my daughter when she was 18 months old, now 21 months old, and she absolutely loves it. We haven't had any problems with the slider breaking or anything and she even drags it by the pen sometimes but it has held up. I chose this one over the other brands because we have other toys in this brand and they have held up great. Plus I liked the beanbag lap sitter, no other brands I have found had that. She also loves the magnetic shapes. Great product overall! see less

Bought this for my 18 mon ... see more

Bought this for my 18 month old and he loves it, especially the animal magnets and he can do everything on it by himself. Only thing I don't like is when you draw something, it fades away almost instantly. He doesn't seem to mind. It's great as a "sit in your highchair until everyone is finished eating" toy as well as for independent play. see less

My son recently got this toy for a birthday present. I was rather hesitant thinking that it was going to become very annoying quickly. However, with the multiple music modes & songs, it's not repetitive & actually pretty cute. I would totally recommend this see less

Our son got this as a gift for his 1st birthday and he has has played with it every single day since, and that was almost 6 months ago. It's hands down his favorite toy and goes everywhere with him. He never gets bored with it. It is very well made, absolutely adorable and easy for a toddler to handle. see less

I almost didn't get this ... see more

I almost didn't get this guitar because it was a dog. But my son saw it and was attracted to it. He has five toy guitars, so the last thing we needed was a new one. But unlike the other toy guitars I was impressed that this one uses actual music notes in the scale, and the strumming action was more realistic. You can make it sound like an acoustic or electric, or even a woofer hound. There are 22 songs. All in all, my son loves it, and after I realized how well designed it was, I couldn't pass it up. I have been very impressed with B. Toys, and this is another winner. see less

We received this as a gif ... see more

We received this as a gift for our 3 year old and he has loved it ever since. Our almost 2 year old also loves it so much we've had to replace the batteries in it twice already!! Our microphone has gotten pretty beat up with 2 boys and it still works great! This is just a great toy and would recommend it to anybody. see less

My daughter absolutely lo ... see more

My daughter absolutely loves her B. microphone. It plays familiar nursery rhymes that she can sing along with. We also record messages to her that she can play herself - which she finds very humorous. She has dropped it on our hardwood floors many times, and it is very durable. We love this toy company. see less

Does not amplify voices well. You have to put your mouth right on the microphone. Sound is fuzzy. But, for the [...] I paid for it, I guess I got my money's worth. see less

They are great! I bought them for my six month old. I love the colors. It doesn't smell like plastic. The blocks are easy to hold and squeeze. She loves to chew on them. They will grow with her as she learns to stack them. If I could change one thing, I would make the letters on the blocks be different colors that the actual block so that she could see them easier. see less

We got this for my 16 mon ... see more

We got this for my 16 month old for Christmas, and he LOVES it! The only problem is that some of the continents are too hard to push. He ends up tapping it on the ground to get it started. We just try to be sure he is in a carpeted area so he won't crack it. He did crack it a little on the wood floors. Overall a great toy! see less

We've had this phone for over a year and I just spent an hour trying to find it for the 2 year old, it is her favorite toy! The 1 year old loves it as well, so grandma is off to the store to buy another one so I've got one for them. see less

My two year old got this for christmas and loves it. I will be buying more toys from this brand. see less

My 2 year old loves this ... see more

My 2 year old loves this phone, especially the message his Dad recorded for him. However, I work with children who have language delays and this phone is GREAT for them. They have started picking up the phone and babbling back, and now they are saying "hello" which NEVER happened before, They all just love how it rings for them. Most babies/young children love phones, but DON'T like "fake" phones. I believe this is an exception! see less

These were a gift for our ... see more

These were a gift for our children, ages 4 and 1, and we all love them. The sound is like a small windchime - high-pitched and twinkling, and actually very pretty. One end of the mallet is hard plastic and the other end is a bit softer and rubbery, so the sound on that end is slightly muted. The 8 bells make a C scale and each is marked with the letter of the note it represents. Each is also marked with 1 to 8 dots to represent the bell's position in the scale - low C is marked with 1 dot, high C with 8. It can get a little loud when the kids are really banging on it, but on the plus side of that, it seems very durable so far. My only complaint is that the base detaches from the main piece pretty easily - granted, it's marked for ages 3 and up, but when our 1-y-o inevitably gets his hands on it, he constantly takes it apart - so I agree that supervision is a must for the littlest ones. In general, we are huge fans of this toy - and I think the price is incredibly reasonable, too! see less

I originally purchased on ... see more

I originally purchased one of these for my 6-month-old niece - although she obviously can't use it by herself, I was really surprised at how the music notes captured her attention. She loved it when it spun around and she could see a wheel of different colors. Because this toy is actually a great musical instrument as well and comes with the notes for a few songs, I decided to purchase another one for myself, as I am a nanny and am always looking for new ways to engage my charges in music and movement activities. I highly recommend the carousel bells! see less

When I first bought this ... see more

When I first bought this toy, I played with it for 45 minutes. The noise is very calming and sounds wonderful. I let my 11 month old daughter have a whirl with it and she loves it. I cannot let her play with it without supervision, because she is too young, but she already figured out that it makes noise when you twirl it and put your stick on it, so it's an easy toy too, which is nice. see less

My son is really into mus ... see more

My son is really into musical instruments. He loves to identify the instuments he hears whenever he hears music anywhere. I knew he'd love this toy...and I was right! He plays conductor and carefully adds instruments one at a time to create his perfect sound. He is 4 and will play with this for hours on end. The delightful classical music is much nicer than most toys that make noise, so eveyone's happier! see less

My grand-daughter is turning four and loves the orchestra pit, she knows all the instruments now and loves the "real" sounds they make. We had a great time introducing her to music and a fun play time. see less

This is one of our favorite toys ever. We got it at Christmas for our 4 year old. Our older 10 year old has been playing with it as well. This toy really helps you listen to the different instruments and how they sound alone and with different instrument combinations. Super fun to play. Great for music lovers. see less

We love everything from B ... see more

We love everything from B. brand, and this is no exception. My 3 year old and 6 year old both love this toy. What a relief to find a toy that is truly "no mess", not just advertised that way! The boards canvas-type material dries within 10 or so minutes on its own, or you can wipe it with your hand or a cloth and it will dissolve immediately. We purchased the purple/orange combo. The purple side shows up much better than the orange, but the orange side is okay as well. It's a perfect size to lay on the lap of a child or adult. see less

I purchased this for my niece who just turned two. She had a wonderful time drawing on one side and then flipping it over and drawing again. It was great that she had a blank slate every time she turned it over b/c the prior drawing had dried. I also had quite bit of fun drawing with her. The pens use very little water. She drew for about 15 minutes ....before we forced her to continue opening the rest of her presents.... and I think maybe 10 percent of the water in one pen was gone. I love the b. products!! see less

I LOVE this product along ... see more

I LOVE this product along with my daughters other four B. products! They are all so great and stimulating for many ages. I Got the B. H2-Whoa! for my daughters 1st birthday, and she already enjoys playing with it. The board comes with four water pens, which every mom loves to hear this one.... THAT ONLY DRAW ON THE BOARD... whew! There is even a peace of mind when it comes to children of a younger age because they can taste and chew on the pens all they want, NO toxic chemicals! The board has two sides, one orange and purple and the other is more of a boy design in blue w/ purple. Most of the B. toys are very gender neutral, which is a great break for me and my overwhelming amount of PINK explosion :) Hope this all helps! see less

We were concerned based o ... see more

We were concerned based on other reviews. Fortunately, we bought before seeing those. Not sure if design has been altered, but our daughter pushes with NO problems. She is just shy of 1, and is on normal development track. The ball cycling device works just fine if the suggested # of balls are in the hopper, 8 - 10. Only reason not a 5 star is the handle should have been wider. It works, but is a little narrow compared to her other toys to push. see less

I LOVE B. Toys. Love! S ... see more

I LOVE B. Toys. Love! So, when I found this walker I was so excited. Then I read the reviews...I had pretty much given up on this product. A week later, I was at a Target and they had one in stock. Because I had read the review stating only a baby with super-human strength could push the walker, I decided to try it anyway. My son already pushes his activity cube across the floor with his activity garden. What's the worst that could happen? I'd have to return it? Turns out, my 9 1/2 month old has super-human strength. He can easily take steps and the resistance keeps him from pushing too fast. The only two issues I have are that the balls distract him from walking when they pop out and some handles to the side of the neck would make it easier for my son to hold on to. So, when considering this product, it really does depend on the individual child. I can definately see where many children would have trouble using this toy, but we are very satisfied. see less

Ours never worked, the ba ... see more

Ours never worked, the balls never popped back up, even after taking it apart and trying to fix the mechanism. I spend way more time trying to get other toys out of it than my son does actually playing with it. Takes up way too much space for doing so little. Don't waste your money. see less

This was a birthday gift for my brother's one year old grandson. He loved it! There are no small buttons or parts. It was very easy for his little one to operate with the press of one button. His grandsn could not put this toy down!Love the pre-decorated packaging - no need for wrapping! see less

I liked it because it is a simple design, easier for a toddler to handle, plastic molded rather than metal. Not a lot of complex parts see less

My 19 month old loooves this...when it works. The noise is extremely grating but it's very simple for him to use. It works about 20 percent of time when the batteries start to get low, and about 50 percent of the time with fresh ones. Not worth it for 15 bucks see less

I bought this toy second hand for my kids. They loved it so much that I bought a new one from Target for my niece's birthday. She loves this toy too. Give it a shot! see less

Our 3.5 yo daughter loves ... see more

Our 3.5 yo daughter loves her new Critter Clinic. We gifted this to her, along with two fun electronic puppies. In the recent weeks, she has been creative with making her own pretend puppies and medical gear, so this was a great surprise for her to have the real stuff... so to speak. She immediately unlocked all the doors with the correct keys, and placed each item in the door of her liking. The stethoscope twisted too uncomfortable for her to wear in her ears, but not to worry, because we showed her how to wear it on her neck comfortably and pretend to hear thumping heartbeats from dolls to mommy and daddy. She doesn't mind the difference at all. The best part is that it has kept her attention for hours on end, which is unusual without our/her demanding interactive play with her every minute.... yay! Worth every penny!! see less

I bought this for my son ... see more

I bought this for my son last Christmas, and he loves it. He finds all sorts of ways of playing with it. He loves to lock his toy cars behind the doors & tells me that "they're in the garage." He uses the doctor equipment to give all his toys, and our pet dogs, check ups. At his last doctor's appointment he took the stethoscope & the syringe and the doctor let him use them on her before she examined him, which greatly helped in easing some of his fear. see less

I thought I was buying one toy and it turns out I have 3! 1. a chunky truck that is so strong [...] 2. a cute pretend race track 3. a set of cool cars. Highly recommended. Only drawback is a bit hard to turn the truck rolling. see less

My son recently received this toy as a birthday present. At first we had no clue what it was supposed to do. However, after playing with it quite a bit, he's figured out all of the things to do with it & he's easily entertained by it. Very creative & I love that it has it's own track as well as the fact that the whole container has wheels & can be pushed around as well. see less

Very boring toy, nobody knows what was going on in the head of designer of this toy. my kids got it as a gift but they didn't know what is the purpose of those doors or the rest. Ahhhhhh see less

My daughter LOVES balls!! These have been a big hit, we have both sets. She the different textures and that some can be squeezed. She's 2 but these would be good for younger kids too. We absolutely LOVE B. toys!! see less

I really like these balls ... see more

I really like these balls. The slightly odd shapes mean they don't roll as far, which is convenient with a young one. My 14-month-old can one-hand these balls and they are even soft enough to throw at mom's head. They can also be pounded on the coffee table and do not make much noise. Some can be squeezed more than others - semicolon - those bounce less. see less

I bought this for my 2yr old God daughter as a birthday present. She LOVES it. Pulls it out everyday to play with and enjoys the different mediums to color with. It was also a great way to help her learn her colors. Will definitely consider as a gift for toddlers in the future. see less

I excitedly bought this f ... see more

I excitedly bought this for my two year old son for Christmas. He is very young so upon opening it he did not 'get' it at all, but I wasn't worried- once he saw me drawing on it he was jealous! So precious. The toy is absolutely beautiful, it feels sturdy and durable as well. When opened into a triangle the closure on the side holds paper against the white-board, making it into a real easel. When we carry it as a 'suitcase' I feel nervous it will pop open because toys tend to do that, but it has not happened and does not feel like it is anywhere near a possibility. Inside we store a pad of paint-and-marker paper, 5 brushes, 10 little pots of paint, the 10 markers that came along with it, the chalk, eraser and sometimes a pack of 50 crayola markers. It definitely has a lot more space than I expected from the images. I would definitely buy this again. see less

I loved these as a kid and so I bought them for my 2 year old nephew for Christmas. He opened them up and my kids enjoyed playing with them so much they insisted on returning some of their toys in order to get these bristle blocks. They are an instant hit for old and young alike. see less

I LOVE these blocks, and so does my 18 month old and my 6.5 year old. I have been looking for a nice bristle block set because my toddler loves blocks and I knew he would have success with this style block. I remember having these as a kid but these are so much nicer! The set is huge,and comes with some really cool specialty pieces that offer a nice creative edge to it. They have 3 different "handle" pieces that rotate and can be used in so many ways, we are just beginning to scratch the surface of the potential of this toy. They also come with four wheels which is essential for building vehicles and machines of all kind. The color palette is so beautiful and modern, a nice change to the standard primary colors that you see in most toys. I have see other sets out there for about the same price and this is by far the nicest in my opinion. see less

Critter Clinic is a capti ... see more

Critter Clinic is a captivating toy that challenges the imagination and impowers little ones to believe in themselves. They take "ownership" of their Critter Clinic for surprisingly long periods of time. A delightfully stimulating way to develop hand/eye coordination, key/door color recognition, manual dexterity, and sharpen fine motor skills. The thrill of achievement is realized [uproarious applause] everytime a key opens a door. Believing they are making sick animals well again inspires success, and that success can be achieved over and over with Critter Clinic. The reward of achieving a goal recurs 'til a child's heart is content! Amazing! The perfect toy! see less

We first learned about this toy through my 2 year old sons speech therapist (its one of her favorite learning toys), she brought it over and he LOVED it, so we had to go out and buy it. It is great for labeling/matching colors, teaching open/close/lock/in/out, labeling animals etc. We don't really use the veterinarian tools yet as we are mainly teaching the other concepts- but he loves to wear the stethoscope, and we like to add other little animals to the kit! Its also a great toy that parents can enjoy too, there is only so much I can do with cars/trains with my son, this is something we can play with together for a while and play with in differerent ways. see less

I purchase B toys first before anything else comes in my home. I have written many reviews on B products because I not only buy them for my children but they're the only brand for gifts that I buy for young children. My son is 1 and he loves it. I have not had any problems as listed below in other reviews. I think either I am lucky or B toys has fixed the issue. I also will say the four gifts that were given didn't have any problems either. This brand is a wonderful brand and worth the ticket price! see less

I purchased this for my LO and she's had it for about 2 months now with no breaking! Seems we're lucky compared to the other reviews. She loves the noise it makes, I'm hoping it lasts until she's done with it and I won't have to make a trip to replace it! see less

This is a really cute toy. I bought this as a gift for a one year old but am disappointed. I had this in my house for one day and I tried it out and everything but the spinny deal in the bottom to make the balls move got disconnected from the top where you push down so now it will not spin and I can't fix it. I will return it and try to get another one tomorrow.Hopefully it will last longer. see less

We actually have an older version of this toy that we have had for 5 years (since my older son was a baby) and we recently got this one as a gift for my younger son. And let me tell you, during all the playgroups I've had here and all the babies and kids that have been through this house, this toy is ALWAYS a favorite. Even after they figure it out, the babies just love it (and so do the toddlers!) I'm actually buying it for my 1-year old niece, too, b/c even with the hundreds of other toys in our house, it really is still such a favorite with everybody. see less

My daughter got this for her first birthday over two months ago, and it's quickly become her favorite toy! She had a little trouble putting the balls in at first, but it didn't take long for her to figure out how to push them through the holes on the top. Now she thinks it's really fun. She hasn't gotten the concept of the hammer yet, but she'll entertain herself with that in her own way. Another positive: there are screws so you can take it apart should your little one put things other than balls down the holes. :-) A great birthday gift! see less
