thought this looked great fun, and thankfully my 9 month old agrees.
Build quality is excellent, has a nice solid feel to the toy. It's nice and colourful, and the balls are well colour co-ordinated with the toy itself.
Another reviewer might have a pop that the balls could pop slightly higher, but I'm not sure how that would work with the way they go back into the toy, and get fired through again. think you would have to make the ears, which acting as the landing pad, too big and unwieldy.
And not having so much force is ideal for us, as our wee boy loves push the balls back down the elephant's trunk.
Seems perfect for our 9 month old. He often is a bit lazy when it comes to sitting up - but this holds his attention so well that he was so happy to sit for ages playing.
our friends 2 year old also throughly enjoyed playing with it, so it seems to be span a range of ages.
In summary - highly recommended.
