Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Tumble Time TiggerCustomer Review: BORING and Bothersome Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my eighteen month old last Christmas and just came upon it again during my spring cleaning. I remember she was very excited about it when she first opened it and laughed and clapped the first time she saw it move around, but that excitement quickly wore off.
It responds to clapping and voice just as advertised, but it always plays the same horribly annoying song (imagine Tigger singing like MC Hammer!). It tumbles alright (better on Berber carpeting or bare floor than thicker carpeting). It is just not all that much fun - and the song is LOUD and annoying. It is also difficult to 1) get it out of the box and 2) change the batteries - well not difficult so much as time-consuming since you have to change batteries in two places. It is also very hard and not at all cuddly.
It is built for one purpose only - to do cartwheels. In the age of voice-response toys like Scamp the playful pup and My friend Amanda, this is pretty primative. It does not allow for the child to use any imagination or any cognitive skills. It is basically a 'gee-whiz' toy to be passively watched. I have not seen my daughter even give it a sideways glance since Chirstmas morning. Not worth the money or time - and did I mention the song is annoying?
Description of Fisher-Price Tumble Time TiggerThis Tumble Time Tigger's a wonderful thing! He performs amazing cartwheels and wacky handstands, all activated by your child's clapping hands that call to him after pressing his ear to start. Kids will never know what zany feat Tigger will do next, so they'll keep clapping to keep him moving to the musical sound track, zippy Tigger phrases and wacky sound effects. Requires 6 "AA" batteries (included). Measures 11.5 inches tall. Stuffed versions of Tigger, the madcap tiger from the Winnie-the-Pooh franchise, are awfully cuddly but since they just lay there they don?t go a long ways toward replicating Tigger?s manic energy, boundless enthusiasm. Fortunately, this tumbling version of Tigger provides plenty of bounce performing cartwheels and headstands in response to clapping or cheering. While he expresses himself, Tigger also belts out songs to add to the fun. We found Tigger to be impressively precise in his tumbling and capable of doing everything the box boasts. We also liked how he kept a nice steady pace as too much rapid gymnastics might frighten younger children. --Charlie Williams
