Toys and Games Reviews of Music & Lights Sit 'n Spin: Rockin' Tunes
Customer Review: It takes a beating...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a home daycare and purchased this toy about a year ago. I have kids from age 2yrs up to 9yrs and they all play with it daily. It really takes a beating but you'd never know it. It still looks and works perfectly. The younger ones have really learned alot in getting themselves to spin around. And they spend alot of time using the top part as a chair. I discourage it because I'm afraid it will break, but so far it hasn't. The music isn't too annoying like it can be on some toys. It's not too loud and doesn't play for too long at a time.
I believe that any toy that is durable enough to last this long at a daycare... and is fun enough to get the kids playing with it everyday is a definite must-have for every kid. Two thumbs up for this one!
Customer Review: Even my 7 1/2 year old nephew loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my nephew for his Second birthday and it was a HIT! My Dad and I did the assembly which was pretty fast. You can leave out the batteries if you don't want the music and lights. My 7 1/2 year old nephew rode it a LOT and begged me to get him one for Christmas. (I MAY do that). My 2 year old nephew really enjoyed it too but didn't quite get the hang of spinning himself. I had a BLAST standing over him and spinning him myself. He would fold his cute little hands together OVER the top of the handle and I would spin him by placing my hand on his back. He laughed a LOT and I was very happy that both nephews enjoyed it. I agree with some of the other reviewers that it looks flimsy but again my 7 1/2 year old nephew rode it a LOT and it seems fine.Customer Review: Very flimsy and disappointing new version of a good thing!

My son received this toy from his aunt for his 2nd birthday after I put it on his wish list. After my husband assembled it, we tried it, and were very disappointed. First of all, there is no way that a 2-year-old could figure out how to spin on this thing! Secondly, the music was way too loud, especially when a child's ears are so close to it. Thirdly, it was so flimsy! When we tried to spin it, it kept tipping over, and we were afraid we were going to break the thing! We ended up taking it back to the store. I wish I would have known how cheap this toy was before his aunt bought it and paid to have it shipped to our house! Too bad Playskool couldn't have just left the old product as is! Who needs all of those lights and music on every toy anyway?!!Customer Review: I had one when I was a kid!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My parents bought this for my 3 yr old son. We put it together and sat him on it. At first, we were all very irritated because it didn't spin well at all and looked like the 'wheel' would break right off. Then, the adults got a clue and took his off the thick carpet and onto to tile in the kitchen. He went to town on that thing and laughed until he fell off. Here's my dilemma; the tile is VERY hard. I'd recommend this toy, but you have to find the right surface for smaller children. Not too thick to frustrate them, and not too hard if they fall off from dizziness.My 1 yr old son loves to stand on the carpet and push the song button. He holds onto the toy and dances like crazy. So, it fits a desire for both my 3 and 1 yr old.
Customer Review: all-around perfect toy
Summary: 5 Stars
This toy is still as fabulous as it was when we parents first took a spin on it years ago. I received this as a gift for my 18 month old son at Christmas time and he was able to get the hang of it within minutes. The toy is great for balance, fine and gross motor development and is appropriate for both boys and girls of nearly any age. (Being a petite mom, I even tried it out to demonstrate the technique for my son and it performed admirably...) It does not require a lot of space, special skill, or additional accessories, making it an ideal gift for nearly every kid. -- Best of all, now that we are well into the cold winter months, this toy provides a safe and much needed indoor (as well as outdoor) outlet for physical play.
