Questions & Answers
That's exactly what I was thinking! But it isn't just a cautionary note; it also states- "NOT FOR KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF THREE YEARS." Then it shows a picture of a child who is clearly under the age of three and says, "Manufacturer recommended age 18-36 months." 3yrs". What a mess!
I'm not sure what the question was, but it was a hit with my one-year-old grandson. The string that holds the tool to clang with could be a little longer, but with a little more string, it will be. I understand why it's short, as it doesn't want to choke you. It has a pleasant sound and is extremely durable.
This is a fantastic toy for a toddler or a baby who is a little older. They can bang on the bars with the small stick. It's important to keep in mind that this isn't a toy that they'll play with for hours. It's a fun way to start including musical instruments in your child's toys. My toddler plays for about 5 minutes before moving on to something else. Their attention spans are really short. Allow yourself to be patient with them. My only criticism is that the string could be a little longer.
8 colors, exactly as shown. The length of the string is insufficient.
Selected User Reviews For Fisher-Price Classic Xylophone
This was purchased for my son, who is 8 months old. I was curious to see if my firstborn was a prodigy, despite the fact that this product is only recommended for children aged 18 months and up. He wasn't one of them. This is a high-quality, well-made product. The string connecting the mallet is long enough for a child to avoid tangling and losing the mallet, but it can be a hindrance for an adult trying to express themselves musically. My child usually keeps the mallet in his mouth, but every now and then he drops it on the xylophone, which causes it to make noises. "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, on the other hand, are songs I've learned.
Young musicians will love it. Because the stick has a string attached to it (as a safety feature), it's a little tricky to play at first, but it sounds pretty good after a little practice, and my one-year-old loves it. She's figuring out how to play each plate separately.
Since she was a small child (5 months), she has been obsessed with anything and everything musical. I had to show her how to play it a few times before she got it, but she picked it up quickly and now uses it on a regular basis. br>br>It appears that all of the keys are in perfect tune. But, to be honest, even if they weren't, it wouldn't bother me at such a young age. Come on. br>br>This Xylophone is extremely well-made and has withstood my rough-housing daughter admirably. She has dragged, dropped, and pounded this thing to death, and it still looks and works like new. My daughter couldn't hit the keys when I first opened it because the cord was restricting her mallet movements. Only if I held the mallet for her would she be able to hit the keys. I took out a pair of scissors and cut the cord, which solved the problem. I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. If the cord was any longer, it would be a safety issue! I'm not concerned about the mallet getting lost because it never leaves our house; simply cut the cord and let the mallet loose. Overall, I would recommend it. br>br> This is a must-have item for any baby or toddler.
Unfortunately, unlike the older versions, this one does not make any noise when rolling the wheels! Very sad.
Also! The flat key (Re in the scale) is dark blue. (It may not appear to be significant, but it is noticeable to the average person, indicating poor craftsmanship. ) )br>I'm sure it'll be a hit with my daughter, but I'm disappointed.
This Xylophone isn't one of our favorites. I went with the Fisher-Price model. Priced higher than many other options because it had a cord attached to the mallet, which I thought would serve the dual purpose of preventing us from losing the mallet while also allowing my son to use it as a walking stick. along with a toy Unfortunately, the cord is so short that he can't even walk with it, let alone use the mallet to hit the keys (is that how you refer to the metal parts?). br>br>Another thing I don't like about this xylophone is that the sound is muffled due to the type of metal used or the toy's construction. Even though you have to hit the keys in such a specific way to get a clear note out, it still sounds awful. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was hoping for a higher quality of music.
5 month old daughter (who hasn't quite figured out how to make music yet but enjoys dragging it around and chewing on the mallot). However, it loses two stars because of the following: 1) the string connecting the mallot and the xylophone is extremely short, and 2) it is incorrectly tuned! One note is missing, and it is driving us insane! You can try one out in the store if you want to make sure it's right, but we ordered ours from Amazon. Before we realized it, we had taken it out of the package. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (As soon as I figure out how to upload a video from my phone, I'll post it. ).
This is a decent toy. Our children used to play with the original Fisher-Price toys. We had previously purchased the Price Xylophone and were pleased with it, so we decided to purchase this for our grandson. The original had a long pull string that, when pulled, made music with little hammers on the bottom. This one lacks that, and the string is so short that it's useless, especially since the stick used to play the xylophone is attached to the string, making the instrument extremely difficult to play. I was able to help myself by chopping off the stick. However, because the stick is so long, there's a risk that your baby will choke if he puts it in his mouth and falls forward; a shorter stick would be more useful. We took it away and replaced it with something smaller for him to play on the xylophone. So it's entertaining, but it's not quite as good as the original, and all I wish it did was play music as you pushed it across the floor.
The tether on the stick is short, which is a great feature (it keeps her from hitting other things and people or strangling herself with it). It'll take you a long time to get to all of the keys. br>br>It sounds nice and isn't bothersome, but it's probably out of tune. My husband, on the other hand, noticed it. We don't expect her to play songs on it for a long time, so that isn't an issue. (My husband was playing "Separate Ways" on it because it's a fun toy for adults to demonstrate to the baby how to use as well. ).
