Fisher-Price Toddler Pull Toy, Classic Xylophone Pretend Musical Instrument with Mallet and Rolling Wheels for Ages 18+ Months

I got this for my youngest son for Christmas. He has loved it since he opened it. Even his nearly 3 year old brother adores it. At our family Christmas party, I got to see my youngest and his cousin hovering over it, trying to play with it together. The only issue that Ive noticed is the cord for the mallet is a little too short. My kids have gotten frustrated trying to hit the end pieces, because you can really only do it from one direction. They want to have more free motion with it. The only way to give them that free range of motion is to cut the cord, but then they lose the mallet. Thats the whole point of the cord. While that has been a little frustrating for them, they still love the toy, and it gets played with quite a bit in our house.

This toy is a total hit with my 13 month old daughter. Shes been obsessed with anything and everything even remotely musical since she was a wee little one (5 months). I had to show her a few times how to play it but she quickly caught on and plays with it on a daily basis now. All of the keys seem to be perfectly tuned. But honestly, even if they were not, this wouldnt be a big deal to me at such a young age. Come on. This Xylophone is very well built and has held up amazingly well to my rough daughter. She drags, drops and pounds this thing to death and it still looks and functions like brand new. When I first opened this, my daughter couldnt hit the keys because the cord was restricting her movements with the mallet. The only way she could hit the keys is if I guided the mallet for her. I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the cord. Problem solved. I dont know why people are complaining. Its a safety issue if the cord were any longer! The mallet never leaves our house, so Im not worried about it getting lost. Just cut the cord, and let that mallet loose. Overall, I highly recommend. This is a staple that every baby/toddler should have.

This is a classic toy which every family should have. Its solidly built and the notes are accurate. My one year old son likes to bang on it and we like to play on it just as much. Only gripe is I wish the string that is attached the stick is couple of inches longer. It barely reaches the far plate, and hinders you from playing more comfortably. We ended up attaching another string to make it longer.

These have that perfect, grungy tonal quality you expect from Fisher Price - the shrill jingle of these keys really made my Morning Announcements (Im a principal).

Always like doing buying from Amazon. You know its always good stuff A+

Love it

Held up nicely!

My granddaughter is at the age that loves banging on things. Now its my turn to provide the noisy toys that drive parents nuts, lol.

Bought this for my 6 month old. Yes i know its rated for 18+months, but I wanted to start on some musical skills early. She just wants to chew the stick for now but she is litsening and paying attention when we play. The product is as described. Worth buying. Only thing is I wish the string was longer or one that retracts when need be.

My one-year-old grandchild loves this toy.
