I bought this for my littlle girl when she was 9 months as she loved spinning tops. It is really brightly coloured and nice and loud although it does have two noise settings if you prefer it a little quieter. It has four settings when you spin the wheel by pressing the plunger and has several different activities within each setting so plenty to keep her occupied. When younger she would sit for ages whating it spin, but know she is older she can interact really well with it and knows all the animals and phrases. It is very robust as it does get chucked and kicked around and i find the batteries have lasted really well and 6 months on still on its original batteries. the ...  Read the complete review
