Customer Reviews

not worth the money or the space
There is another listing for this product on amazon (same product) and there is a one star review there. I am more in agreement with that review than with the ones I read here.

it is a cute toy and there are lots of things to do. but there are a couple of negatives which make me wish we didn't spend the money. first, the ramps for the balls always pop out and they are not simple to get back in. second, although it is fairly easy to fold up, it still takes up A LOT of space when folded at least half the amount of space as the dome when fully assembled. and you can't pop it back into the box at that point, because it won't fit. you have to lean it against a wall and it is always falling over (even when you use the plastic piece they suggest to clip it together).

my 3 and 7 year old kids were more interested in the toy than my 1 year old.

just thought I would provide this alternate view, since all the other reviews seemed so glowing.

Amazing toy- especially for twins
My 14 month old twins recieved this for Christmas and it is amazing! They love to play in it together (they both ift inside well) or peek through it and giggle at each other. The balls rattle which they love and there are so many differnet ways to play- ball rollercoasters and tunnels, spinning toys, mirror- they are ative and love to chase each other inside and out. I also feel that thsi toy is safe for 12 months or even younger. There are no sharp or small pieces and it is very sturdy. They can use it to pull to stand and cruise it- it will slide a little but does not fall or collapse, even with two babies pulling on it. This is an a amazing toy!

Good toy, lots to do
I purchased this toy for my son who is 18 months old. He most enjoys trying to use the keys to open up the doors so the balls can fall out. It was a little smaller than I thought when I saw the pictures. But overall it was a good purchase and my son enjoys it.

As for folding it up, I haven't tried. It takes up a little bit of room, but it's not overwhelming.
