Not interesting enough--not for independent play
December 26, 2018
We just received this for a gift, and our 9-month old daughter isn't a fan. She's only been crawling for a month, so we thought this would be fun for her to sharpen her skills and get a little faster chasing this around the room. We've found that it grabs her attention (at times), but she will crawl right past it for other toys as it's rolling around the room. We don't give her many battery-operated toys, so she might just be preferring her usual options for this reason.
I can see this toy being a good motivator for a much younger baby who hasn't started crawling yet, but even for a newer crawler (in my case), it doesn't seem to be that appealing to her.
I do LOVE that the volume level of the music is at a mild/moderate level, instead of being overly loud.
It's also the type of toy that a baby can't play with independently, therefore, a parent needs to be active with the operation of this. When the bee is removed on top, the base of the unit will remain in place until the bee is replaced to get it going again. Obviously, little babies will not know to keep replacing the bee on the very top to keep making it move around the room...just fyi.
It really is a cute toy though, but it's just not working out for us.
