I bought this toy for my 8-month old to encourage him to start crawling. I looked at many and choose this one because of its dual features – I figured that once my son started to crawl he would have an interest in pressing the shapes and animal figures. Well, to start with the motion of the ball sucks! The first time I started it up, it rolled away from him then promptly back towards him and repeatedy smacked him in the head. This caused him to shy away from it for the longest time. Now that he can crawl, the added features are a waste of time. The voice proclaiming things like “it’s a duck” goes off randomly without baby having to press the said animal so it teaches nothing about the animals or cause and effect. I should have returned this toy but waited too long – now it will just sit on the shelf gathering dust.

This toy is awesome, especially for babies that you are trying to get to crawl. My two boys absolutely LOVE this toy. Also, when they start to lose interest, this toy starts to move and make noise again to get their attention. They are too young still to do the games on the ball (it tells the baby to find an animal or number), but they love to push the buttons anyway. It rolls well on our carpet on hard flooring. It’s one of their favorites!

For my 6 month old baby boy, this ball has been an excellent wayto keep him focused on moving toward on object while on his stomach. Although he gets annoyed by it rolling away from him at times, he also tries to reach for it because he realizes that when he touches it, a sound or noise results from it so that there is a “cause and effect” situation. I think it has helped to encourage him to crawl because it’s weighted to move around but not to roll away. Granted, it might bump into him but this baby is very sturdy, so much so, that he’d prefer to stand rather than crawl. He never lost the standing reflex so it’s possible he might bypass crawling altogether although I think this ball helps him with the crawling and moving. He also enjoys playing with it while sitting up. I think this is a good toy!

My son got this wonderful toy as a gift for Christmas.
When he first turned it on, he looked a little confused because it moves by itself and then after a few seconds he started crawling after it.
This ball is great because it helps babies with learning to recognize numbers,colors,shapes, and animal sounds. It also helps them to crawl faster because they follow it around.
It is really worth the money!

The erratic movements of the ball scare my son. It’s also VERY LOUD, EVEN ON THE LOWEST VOLUME SETTING, IT IS OBNOXIOUS.
