I guess this xylophone looks good on a shelf, but that’s about the limit of its usefulness. The packaging is ridiculously over-engineered. It should not take two tool-wielding adults to unwrap a toy. The tone bars are the least musical I’ve ever heard on any kid’s toy. The sound they make is not only unmusical, it’s downright unpleasant. But that’s ok, because my baby (within the recommended age range for this toy) isn’t interested in it anyway, except maybe to twirl the little birdie once or twice. Then she moves on to toys with a little more to offer.

Lamaze is supposed to make toys to help children “learn”. However, I bought this item and the top two bars were badly out of tune. I returned it, figuring it was a defective unit, and the replacement was out of tune in the exact same way. Therefore, I assume this was a mass-produced manufacturing defect that the company MUST be aware of by now. I am a musician, and don’t want my kids exposed to a musical toy that actually teaches them how to be tone deaf. If it was properly tuned, this would be a great toy. I hope someone was fired over this. If 6 of the 8 bars are perfectly in tune, how hard is it to correctly design the other two bars?

I bought this on Amazon after seeing it in a kid’s boutique-type store for a lot more money. I thought it was adorable…
But my 19-month old has had it now for almost 6 months and really hasn’t picked it up at all. I don’t know why – the shape, the colors – what.
She does have another xylophone and loves it – but it’s the flat boring kind. Oh well.

The Lamaze brand is great, and this toy is perfect for little ones learning colors and sounds.

My baby loves this xylophone! She is almost 8 months and enjoys trying to bang on the notes!
