LeapFrog® Learn & Groove Musical Table Reviews
This table is fun, but buyer beware regarding the legs on this toy! First, many of the pics of this item are NOT of this item! The table with the wide feet and blue lights around the center is an older item which is no longer made (I tried the older version at a friend’s house and loved it). The wide feet provided a wonderfully stable base for this toy. However, the new version (with red lights) has unstable legs which are prone to tipping on your child. The legs are also NOT detachable on all units. I was told by Leap Frog that the only way to know whether they are detachable is to unbox the toy and look on the bottom of the item for a “press here” indicator where the legs attach. Seriously?? I’m not sure of a store that is going to allow me to open all the items to find the one with detachable legs! That said, I have the one with the NON-detachable legs and mistakenly attached them BEFORE my child was able to stand independently. Any attempts to use this toy to pull to stand result in this toy tipping onto my child. UGH! So, this toy requires VERY close supervision (as in my holding onto my child while he plays with it in order to avoid him pulling it over onto himself). Other than that, the noises are a bit annoying with a very jazzy lady belting out sounds and songs, so I typically leave it in the OFF position. Why oh why can’t toy makers make SIMPLE cause and effect toys with short bursts of sounds rather than these long, annoying, never-ending songs and sounds? Oh, how I miss the simpler times!
My daughter lights up and gets so excited when she just sees this toy from afar. And she loves playing with it too. We got it when she was 7 months and I think it will be a hit for a long time yet. My only gripe is that my daughter wants to use it to pull to standing and it is so light, that if I don’t hold the opposite edge it will topple over on her. Also if she loses her balancce which she does frequently and she tries to steady herself on it it tries to topple over as well, or she pushes it away and she risks falling if if I am not holding it steady. I know that this will get better with time, but this awesome toy would be MORE AWESOME if the legs were weighted so it was more stable.
My daughter is 10 months old and LOVES this toy! I can not recommend this toy enough!!! She loves the music and noise that it makes. She loves to switch it between Spanish and English. I really wanted a toy that she could pull up on and stand in front of and this was IT. She pulls up and stands there for a LONG time playing. Then she cruises around it. Easy to put together the legs snap right in. The order came very fast and everything was in perfect condition. I suggest using rechargeable batteries because your little one WILL wear them down quickly! =)
