Only So-So....
Even though there is a volume control option...the "low" volume is still too loud for night time. Once you choose the 20 min continous play option the foot button no longer works...you have to toggle the switch back and forth to get it to play again. Its really only good for day time play due to the volume and the short music/light option.

Do not buy!
Our babies loved this initially…until it broke. It lasted around 2 weeks. Explains why this item was on clearance (if you can call a couple bucks off “clearance”!!!!)

Foot button really does stop working after a while
My daughter absolutely loves this toy - it is the only toy she has grown an attachment to, which is why it’s so unfortunate that the foot button stopped working after a month or two. Only continuous mode works now, which is better than nothing but tends to overstimulate her which leads to increased fussiness which isn’t fun for either of us. I’m reluctant to buy another one because this seems to be a common issue with this toy. It’s such a bummer.

Great Baby Toy!
So cute! My grandaughter loves the lights and sounds. It plays music and sounds for a while so you don't have to continously hit the button also, which is great!!!

Its okay
It’s an okay toy but doesn’t do as much or keep her interest as much as other toys. I wouldn’t buy it again, but there’s nothing necessarily wrong with it

Adorable toy, but good luck getting it replaced if it breaks
My daughter absolutely loved this toy but like others commented, the button broke after just two months of having this toy. The customer service at Kids2 is terrible and I have tried several times to call and submit a warranty replacement online with no luck in anyone calling me back or emailing me. Their office is frequently closed and they send you to their website for assistance which has gone nowhere for me.

I got this elephant for my daughter. It didn't even get used until she turned 7 months. Ofcourse, not even one week into, you can't change the music while pressing the elephant leg anymore. It just shopped working. There are working batteries in the elephant because the music still plays for 20 minutes in the other mode.

One of our favorite toys!
This has been one of my 4 month old’s favorite toys since we bought it about two months ago! He loves the crinkly ears, watching the lights on its belly, and the music.

Great once you learn how to use it
My 3 month old loves elephants music and lights. It's super soft and cute. I had a hard time figuring out how to do continuous mode, but was able to figure it out. On the battery compartment inside the elephant on the opposite side of the on off switch there is another switch that goes between the baby pressing mode and continuous mode. I included pictures (it's a little hard to get a good picture of the switch)

Grest tummy time toy
My babies are really enjoying this toy and the lights/music. We wish the music played for longer but that is my only complaint. Great tummy time entertainment if they are unhappy on the floor.

Foot button not working
My son loves this toy but after a year the foot button doesn't work anymore so he can't use it on his own.

Stuck on 5 seconds of music only.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My granddaughter received this as a gift at her baby shower. She’s now 25 days old and loves it, but its function is stuck on the short music option. Even tho we’ve switched the switch, it only plays for maybe 5 seconds then stops. Changed the batteries & same thing. No, it has not dropped, gotten wt, or anything of the sort!

Very cute!!!
Very cute, and the music and lights and crinkly fabrics are great and soothing. I have it as a baby gift, but I would be thrilled to get it if I had a baby.
