I'm Toy Melody Mix

This toy is great our 10 month old grandson could wait to play with it will last forever very well made .

I bought this for my grandson for his first birthday and he was immediately taken with it. I'm very happy with the purchase

This was bought for our son’s first birthday - he loves music. Although it says 3+ there are no clear choking hazards (unless you have a kid who will smash open the maraca).
Pros:
* he loves it
* it is safe and colourful
* the range of percussion is lovely (and not too loud. Not a whistle or kazoo in sight)

Cons:
* not as easy to flip from xylophone to drum as I had hoped. You need to turn the whole frame rather than just the centre which means removing everything. Not arduous I accept but a little irksome.
* the frame for the triangle and chimes don’t sit firmly in the frame so they wobble about. Again, not a big issue just something that is a little annoying.
* this is the big issue that I have, the xylophone is not good. It isn’t particularly tuneful and the tones aren’t all different, in the correct order or evenly spaced (tonally) . For example the second lowest bar (orange) is actually lower than the lowest bar (red). While this doesn’t matter if all you want is to make noise, you cannot “play” tunes on it.

I suppose that i was expecting more for something at this price point.

At the end of the day, I’m really glad we bought it as he loves it and really that is what matters most.

My daughter has loved this from the moment we pulled it out of the box. We got it for her first birthday which is younger than is recommended but I can’t see anything that looks overly hazardous and she absolutely loves it. It’s excellent quality and has lots of variety for little hands to explore. The only minor quibble is the xylophone is an odd, minor key - but that’s no big deal, it still sounds nice, you just can’t play as many nursery rhymes. This is the best birthday present we’ve had for our girls!
