Grandso loves this. He actually "picked" it himself. He giggles watching it light up and roll.

Out of the box, didn't work
Bought because I thought it would be great for encouraging him to reach, belly scoot, and crawl. Never worked right. Didn't roll on its own. As a first time and working mom, I never found the time to return it. Threw it away after a couple months.

Do NOT buy. Toy stopped lighting up after one day from one side only. You have to press it every few seconds, also it looked on the packaging as if it rolled on its own which it does not. It barely rolls. I was excited it looked like a really fun interactive toy. Soo disappointed!

Only goes one way
This thing lacks potential. It rolls well one way but doesn’t come back the other way. So now when my kid plays with it, he throws it back at me to keep it rolling.

Its supposed to roll??
My mother in law got this for my son. We opened it, pressed the button, and all it did was make noise. I didn’t buy it, so I assumed that was all it did. Just read the rest of the reviews and saw that it IS supposed to roll on its own. So ours just came broken :(

Great but it breaks easily
My son LOVED this toy but it broke after a week of use. I bought a new one to replace it and it immediately broke as well. This toy would be great if it didn't keep shutting off. Waste of money for a faulty build.

Does not hold babies attention at all
I’m Not sure if it’s supposed to work the way it does, but it has an extremely short run time and not hold babies attention for more than 10-15 seconds. It does maybe one roll and makes noise for a very short time and stops. You have to keep pressing the button to keep it running. Would not buy again or recommend this toy. There’s better ones out there. I was hoping it was similar to that moving crab toy but far from it! Don’t waste your money on this monkey.

Stopped rolling after some time
Fun toy but doesn't last long. It stopped rolling which was probably the only exciting thing about it. Definitely not worth buying at full price.

stopped working
Worked for about an hour before it decided it didn’t want to roll anymore. Putting in another set of fresh batteries didn’t help either

Worked for a bit and then stopped working. We've put fresh batteries in and everything but it didn't help. It's a waste of money.
