My son got this item for Christmas 2 years ago and wwas a bit hit for him.

There are various features such as when the baby shakes the rattle Winnie The Pooh and the turtle go for a ride. It helps to teach an action and reaction. It says a lot of little phrases in a little cute voice. Also it can play 2 songs.

The age for this product is advised at 6+ months although my little one was only 4 months and still enjoyed a lot of fun with it.

It requires 4x AA batteries which come included. After this set has ran out I found that I had to replace with Duracell or Energizer as the cheaper ones seemed to run out after only a little use.

It encourages children to shake their heads, shake the rattle, claps their hands and it seems to help with crawling and walking as when Pooh crawls away my little one wanted to go after it.

All in all I think this is a great little toy to encourage development and would recommend it to anyone who is struggling to think of a suitable present.
