Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Rock-a-Stack
Customer Review: Blue dye rubs off
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the Rock-a-Stack for my 6 month old son on Friday April 3,2009. I came home to wash the product and soon realized the water I was washing it in was blue. Then my hands and arms were stain blue. I was very grateful that I washed this product before giving it to my son. Who knows what type of paint Fisher-Price uses and even if they say it is non-toxic as parents I am sure we don't want our children getting the paint in their mouth. I scrubbed the blue ring for a couple of minutes and there is still dye coming off of the ring. I can't imagine if I gave this to my son, his clothes, skin, blankets, and our carpet would have been stained blue.
I called the 800 number for Fisher-Price and they did not seem the lease bit concerned. I have written more about our experience at : rock-a-stackbluering.blogspot.com
I DO NOT recommend this product and I hope this is taken off the shelves at stores ASAP!
If you have had a similar experience please post on our blog so we can make this know Nationwide and get this defective Fisher-Price product off the selves!
Customer Review: Surprising Number of Ways to Play With This Toy
Summary: 5 Stars
My 9 month-old twins play with this toy in all kinds of ways. They're not at the point of stacking the disks/rings yet, but they do a lot of other things. For example, they throw the rings with the aim of trying to get them to roll on their side. Most of the time they don't succeed at that but sometimes they do, and then they might have to crawl to retrieve them. This is great for developing motor skills and it shows that they understand something of the concept of a wheel. They also get exercise.
We also play together with this toy in different ways. For example, I can sit across from a baby and throw a disk in her lap and then she throws it back in my lap and so on. We move onto different colors and sizes. They can do this at 9 months old and it's fun for them. They also trade the rings between each other and I can't say I understand what kind of game that is but they like it.
We clean the rings every night along with all the things we clean (there are so many). But these are easy to clean and this is a very durable toy.
Customer Review: Rock-A-Stack vs. Little Super Star Classical Stacker
Summary: 5 Stars
I read all the reviews for Rock-A-Stack when i was looking for a stacker for my 1 yr old daughter. I did not like the cone shape of the post thinking that this feature would be a disadvantage in learning the concept of size of the rings. So i went with the Little Super Star Classical Stacker. Well, as it turned out i was wrong. Even though the Little Super Star Classical Stacker has lights and music,my daughter got bored with it in about a month. She did not learn the size order because she was too young to understand my explanations. And then my neighbour suggested to switch our stackers. And that is how we've got the Rock-A-Stack stacker. It has been 7 mos and my daughter is still very much interested in this toy. The cone shape forced her to figure out the sizes. When we just got it, she would put a ring on the post and shake her head if it was the wrong one or clap her hands if it was the correct one. Very cute! She also loves to wear them as bracelets.
Overall, great toy!!! We highly recommend it!
Customer Review: A old favorite never gets stale!
Summary: 5 Stars
Simple yet fun, this brightly colored plastic ring toy is the perfect first baby toy for any child. Teaches colors, coordination, and balance. I have had ours since our first daughter's birth more than two years ago and it still holds her attention as she learns new motor skills at each stage of development.
In the beginning it's just fun for a baby to look at, touching it to cause the base to rock back and forth without toppling over. Then as baby learns to remove the "Lifesaver Styled" rings, they become familiar with how they each fit on the rack.
Color recognition comes later, and of course we always had fun playing peek-a-boo with our eyes hidden inside each hole! As our kids became more imaginative, they pretended the rings were donuts and served them up on their tea set.
The toy is durable, quick to clean, easy to store or take along on trips. This Fisher Price old time favorite is a must-have goodie for your baby's toy box.
Customer Review: A classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, you can't go wrong with the price-period. It's a great toy and I find my son constantly making this toy a favorite choice. He loves the rings and the primary colors seem to provide good visual stimulation. Because of the stacking order the child learns logic as well as develops their memory skills. The toy is durable, easy to clean and is good for teething. However, I would suggest to anyone that if they find that their child has enough teeth to break through the plastic and find that their child continually chews through the product that they discontinue use. No toy should be teethed on to the point of damage as small bits could break off and pose a choking hazard. So far this toy seems far from a problem such as the one described above and I would highly recommend it. The rings and base are light in weight and won't cause injury if dropped on a little toe. Again, for the price you absolutely can not go wrong with this product!
