 Baby Moron Toy October 15, 2009

This toy appeals to parents because the music isn't obnoxious, its marketing promises a brilliant (bilingual) baby, and it isn't very expensive. The reality is there are so many switches, settings, and keys on this thing that it's all but impossible for your child to learn cause and effect. My son seemed interested in the toy, but grew frustrated after a while because the effect of hitting the red key with the setting on Spanish with one knob turned to the picture of the metronome with the other knob turned to the picture of the violin was completely different from the day before when he hit the red key with the setting on French with one knob turned to the picture of the keyboard and the other knob set to the picture of the clarinet.
My mother gave this toy to my son envisioning a valedictorian or the reincarnation of Beethoven. I ended up lying to her, telling her the toy was great, and sending it to the thrift store. If you want your toddler or baby to learn about music and cause and effect, simply put them in front of a keyboard or piano. Overall, we've found that while they have a great marketing campaign, Baby Einstein makes pretty poorly designed baby toys.
Good for a compact toy, but speaker is in a horrible location September 30, 2009
Janet J. Imp (Wisconsin)
My son who is now almost 10 months old enjoys playing with this toy, but he tends to flip it over with the keys down and bang from the back because the speaker for the music is on the bottom. When it sits on a carpet you cannot hear the music very well. Baby Einstein needs to move the speaker to the side of the toy next to the label so you can see it. Then it will get 5 stars.
 Very Disappointing September 11, 2009

Ever since I was about 20 I wanted to train to become a classical pianist. I had hoped that this product would provide me with the basic tools I needed to begin as a novice and move up to at least an intermediate level. I was very excited by this product upon reading about it on Amazon. I splurged and ordered it Next Day Air so I could play it immediately.
The next day the box was delivered. Although I was extremely excited as I opened the box, I was surprised by how small the box was. I was sure this must be the first piece of the piano, with more to come.
Imagine my disgust when I opened the box to find this tiny plastic instrument.
To add insult to injury, upon tapping the first key on this "piano", rather than hearing a melodious instrument I only heard a computerized voice saying "three". "Three" "Three" "Three" it kept on repeating as I furiously tapped the key. Plus there were only five keys. I thought pianos had a lot more than that. Ridiculous!!!
The rattle on the top of the instrument provided some enjoyment, but not enough to warrant even two stars.
If I could give this item zero stars, I would. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!
 OK, but my daughter doesn't really care for it August 31, 2009
Kelly A. John (Nantucket, MA USA)
I got this toy when my daughter was about 7 months. She has had it for almost two months and has never really been crazy about it. She plays with it for about 2 minutes and then moves on to other toys. The music is pleasing, but it is not nearly loud enough to actually catch my daughters attention. The speakers are on the bottom of the toy, so if it is on the ground you can barely hear the music, even on the highest setting. I find you have to push the keys just right for it to play music or count too, so my daughter isn't successful every time. My daughter much prefers the V-tech laptop over this toy. Maybe this is great for some babies, but it was a waste of money for mine.
 Finally a piano that is not annoying! August 18, 2009
A. Howell
We had the Fisher Price piano that played more contemporary music and that piano has a new home at Grandma's. It was loud and it seemed like it never quit, this piano has the same cause and effect learning without all the annoying noise. I love how you can change to so many different features and it keeps my daughter who is nine months old very entertained.
