Wish it worked more consistently

I really wish it worked more consistently, good or bad. I only had it briefly and it scores as being a very cute thing, it got fussy after a month. Pros: - cute - good finish - track material is decent. Cons: - After a month, the latch sometimes pops. I can go through up to 4 or 5 cycles without it popping until I manually unlock and restart the worm. I don't know if the position of the worm has anything to do with it. Tends to lean forward, which can lead to more locking errors. I'm usually more likely to pop out when trying to worm backwards/stand up than when leaning forward more - the music can have a tinny vibration, which can be "distortion" that others complain about reviewers have complained. It didn't bother me much. No more than his tricky handle. I should see if it's too late to go back, but I'm debating it. It kind of works and my kids love, love, love it. I'm not sure the next one will work better as the internals are simple and leave little room for error. Does it work or not so it might be a production QA thing.
