Review on ๐ŸŽน Interactive Piano Musical Toy for Babies, 3 Months + by Bruce Cavett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very safe softkeys that won't get very dirty if your child bites their toy.

Excellent! You don't have to worry about the switches (which should be an adult thing anyway), just the cloth keyboard. This keyboard plays very well for self-entertainment, but not for composing or playing individual notes, just playing the notes of a melody from a piece of classical music (rather than tiresome grown-up nursery rhymes). This piano actually appears to have been a replacement for an earlier version of the Baby Einstein, which was more expensive, had separate hard plastic keys, was heavier and more expensive, and broke more easily because a child frequently dropped their toys. We were concerned about the fabric part because we have a child who puts everything in his mouth, but that didn't seem to be a big problem, except that the sticker on the hard part of the toy is colored at the top above the 3 instrument indicators were eaten, chewed and finally they had to be removed and the sticky residue cleaned up. (By comparison, we once had a cute Vtech teddy bear with a hard body in the middleโ€”it was gross and unsanitary a week and a half after eating it. We washed and dried it thoroughly, then gave it away.) We love it. Einstein's baby piano! There were many different brands of toy pianos in our house, and those with separate fixed keys will eventually break the key and make the toy unsafe. The lack of separate keys is actually a plus in terms of security. Great that it has two volume settings!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
