Fun toy, but could be better. Glad I only paid $4. I got this at a garage sale, and I’d say it was definitely worth the $4 I paid–because I was going to purchase it new! After using it for a few days, however, I am glad I only paid $4.The pros?*Even on the loud setting, it’s not that loud.*It’s fun to watch the baby reach for it as it rolls around.*The baby likes the noises and vibrations.The cons?*The animals are cartoon animals so they are very hard to distinguish (if I have a hard time, how the heck is my kidlet supposed to do it?).*The ball asks questions like “Where is the pig?” but gives you NO time to actually find it (especially considering the style of the animals). If you do manage to find the animal/number/shape in time, you get a YAAAAAY! from the ball. But honestly, most of the time I couldn’t even find the animal/number/shape in time so I don’t see a child being able to, either.*Doesn’t roll well on carpet unless it’s very flat carpet. I always have the baby on a blanket (even on our carpeted floors) so the thing rolls about 4″ and stops.

Keeps Baby Focused While On Tummy For my 6 month old baby boy, this ball has been an excellent wayto keep him focused on moving toward on object while on his stomach. Although he gets annoyed by it rolling away from him at times, he also tries to reach for it because he realizes that when he touches it, a sound or noise results from it so that there is a “cause and effect” situation. I think it has helped to encourage him to crawl because it’s weighted to move around but not to roll away. Granted, it might bump into him but this baby is very sturdy, so much so, that he’d prefer to stand rather than crawl. He never lost the standing reflex so it’s possible he might bypass crawling altogether although I think this ball helps him with the crawling and moving. He also enjoys playing with it while sitting up. I think this is a good toy!

Awesome Toy! This toy is awesome, especially for babies that you are trying to get to crawl. My two boys absolutely LOVE this toy. Also, when they start to lose interest, this toy starts to move and make noise again to get their attention. They are too young still to do the games on the ball (it tells the baby to find an animal or number), but they love to push the buttons anyway. It rolls well on our carpet on hard flooring. It's one of their favorites!
