Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Learn-Around Playground with Tube Topper
Customer Review: Learning Playground
Summary: 4 Stars
Received this toy as a gift for my then 5 month old daughter. It is nice for when they can't stand you just place them under it and they have interaction with the tabs and cloth strips. Once they can stand the top of the table is utilized as well as the ball drop. Good grow with you toy.
Initially we were putting my daughter underneath the table and she loved it. My one year old nephew loved putting the balls down the chute with it repeating the color of the ball placed down the chute. Now that she is standing she loves the table top, her favs are the pop-up frog and the tricycle.
It is a bit unsturdy, she leans on it for support so it should have something in front of it-couch,wall, etc... Another thing we always joke about is how it is singing a song or counting, but if you hit a letter it will say the letter mid song. "1-2-3-Q" We haven't had any problems with the electronics as some others noted, works perfectly well.
It is a great toy, keeps the baby entertained for a good 30 minutes and should for a good year or so.
Customer Review: This is a cool toy!
Summary: 4 Stars
This toy is very, very cool, I really really like it. There is tons to do, lots of buttons to push, and the ball chute is excellent! My baby loves it. The item comes with the tube topper to fix the problem with babies putting their hand down the chute. I have not installed it and don't plan to unless it becomes an issue... it really will change the usability of the ball chute! This does slide (we have carpet), so you need to either just watch your baby with it or put it in a corner against the wall. My baby almost uses it as a walker, pushing it around!
My only real complaints are with the ball chute recall issue... why not just make the button inside the chute much smaller and further down? Then kids could not get stuck in there! And also the voices/music. This is not Leap's best work IMO. The music for the Leap table is much much better. I just don't like this ladies voice honestly. Also I wish it did english and spanish like the Leap Table does, I enjoy the variety!
Customer Review: Great product

The only complaint I have about this is that the two modes are easily switched between with a little device on top of the table. My son just likes to flip the device back and forth which drives me nuts! I would love it if the switch were underneath or harder to move so only an adult could change it.
That said, my son got this for Christmas when he was just over a year old and loved it immediately. He loves the tunnel and all the things you can press, spin and push. I like the learning mode best for him. It says colors and numbers and the alphabet, textures, and shapes. There is so much going on with this table and it is so smart, knowing what color balls are going down the tunnel (Still haven't figured out how it knows this, LOL)
The musical mode is fun too but there is not much education on this mode, it is mainly for fun, with different instrument sounds and songs, and will be cool when he is 2 or 3 I'm sure.
Customer Review: Fun & Educational

My son loves this toy. We got it for him when he started pulling up on things and he loved all the sounds and the music. He figured out the balls right away and that keeps him busy for a long time. He just discovered the keys underneath play the harmonica music. He will hit them and smile while they make music. I can see that this will grow with him as well. Once he is walking and no longer needs the table for stability, he will still be able to use it for letters and numbers. I found this online at another web-site, and went to several stores to try and see it in person. Couldn't find it, but was pleasantly surprised to find it here for less than the other site and with free shipping. This is a great toy. As other reviews noted, it does tend to slip on hard surfaces, but we just put some "grippy" tape on the bottom and that seemed to fit it. Other than that we are delighted.Customer Review: Very fun table!
Summary: 4 Stars
We had this table for about a year till we gave it to a friend since we were moving out of state. I really like this table and would definitely suggest it. We never used the "tube topper." There was a never a problem with my son's arm getting stuck or almost getting stuck.
My son really enjoyed playing with it. He would play with it almost solid for about two weeks, stop playing for a 2-3 weeks and then play with it solid for about 2-3 weeks and so on.
There's LOTS of activities on this table. I really didn't find it very educational for my son but the entertainment is worth it.
Some people said they had problems with buttons working but we didn't have that problem. The only thing I noticed was that if you have a letter of the alphabet already pushed and push another one, it won't make noise. But that's not a problem, just don't put two at the same time!
