Bright Starts Safari Beats Musical Toy

It’s too loud I can’t even stand being close to it.

My baby loved it, I received as a gift when she was born, however, it didn’t last more than 6 months, it started having issues playing the sounds and when try to replace batteries they were leaking, not safe for baby.

Recieved this as a gift, and my baby loved it! He immediately pulled the handle off, but that wasn't a huge deal. The problem is, today we went to use it and there was no sound! We had it less than 4 months. I tried changing the battery, but it didn't help. Still lights up, but no sound. Come to find out, reviews on the manufacturers page include a lot of similar experinces, many for whom the lifespan of the sound was even shorter!

Received this as a gift for my baby, who was 7 months old at the time. He immediately pulled the handle off, but absolutely loved it. Less than 4 months later the sound stopped working.

I really wanted to love this toy, because overall it looks like it would be a cute, fun toy. Unfortunately, there are multiple things about it that made me give it such a low score. First, just like everyone else says, it is way too loud and too bright. It’s loud and bright in my face when I’m sitting next to it so I feel like it’s inappropriate for LO’s that are made to sit with their face close to it. Second, the power switch is too loose. It just slides between the settings, and is frequently turning off when the LO plays with it. Third, the stand doesn’t really work. It barely holds up when the LO tries to play with it, and it just makes it awkward to position. Overall it is a very frustrating and annoying toy. Don’t waste your money!

The toy is of good quality and I like that the handle can be used to stand the drums up to encourage head lifting during tummy time. However, like others have mentioned, this toy is too loud and too bright. It would be better if it had different volume levels. However, I just put a piece of tape over the speaker and that made the volume perfect. As for the brightness, it’s fine when you use it in the brighter room but if it’s more light-filtered in the room then the colors are pretty bright and in your face to stare at. My baby likes to press the buttons and hear the different animal sounds at 5 months old but ultimately I think this toy is too overstimulating.

Extremely bright and loud. Would not recommend

My baby absolutely loves this toy. One of his favorites ever.

My daughter came from Az. September 2023 to visit her nephew and purchased this toy. It worked up to March 2024, it would light up but stopped playing music. For the price it should ave lasted longer.

Too loud. Baby enjoys it now at 9 months. Disliked at a younger age.

My 7 month old grandson loves it

This was bought for a special need’s grand boy, he is three and loves it! He can use his feet to play music and is a very happy boy!

It’s way too loud , there’s no adjustment to the volume.

My daughter had the same toy 7 years ago and it worked great idk if now they are made cheaper but after two months the sound stopped working, checked the batteries too now it only lights up ..my baby really loves it though, will have to buy another see how long this one will last.

Got this as a Christmas gift for my 8 month old. Sound stopped working not even a week later.

It's for my grandson who is fairly new 😊. Research said that this was a good choice for his 1st Christmas.

I have spent hundreds of dollars on aesthetically pleasing wooden toys. My 11 month old could care less. All he wants to do is smack these obnoxious bongos. I can’t really complain though because it means I can drink my coffee. 5 stars for that.

So great during tummy and play time. My little guy loves to kick it.

Our MIL gifted this to our 4 month old and she absolutely loves it. Cute music and monkey sounds.

My sons loves the toy it's the perfect size but the problem is a big safety concern for the baby's eyes the lights are way to bright even for my eyes it leaves eye floaters after I look at it even for just a second and the lights blink to fast and can most likely cause seizures.
