Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Crawl-Around Learning Center

This is, hands down, the absolute best toy I have ever purchased for our daughter, not just regarding development, but all around. My daughter is 1-year-old, and has some gross motor delays due to health issues. I purchased this crawl-around toy, and she has taken off with her development. Before this toy, she wasn't pulling up, crawling, scooting or anything. Now, she's pulling up to her knees (and will be pulling up to standing any day now) and scoots all over the place on her butt. (We're pretty sure she's going to skip crawling as she just wants to stand and will now take steps with us.) The side panels are strong enough to support her when she's pulling up, or when we've helped her stand and hold onto them. Each side of the panels has something fun, interesting and developmentally useful that pulls her to it. All the lights, sounds, movement... I cannot speak highly enough of this toy. The little sliding door encourages her to play peek-a-boo with us (but doesn't slam or hurt her when it falls on her hand or fingers), and the various functions (like the light switch, frog slider, etc.) provide assistance with development of fine motor skills, as well. I love the multiple stages on this toy that will keep her entertained and learning for quite some time. This toy was super easy to put together, is very sturdy (can easily support her while kneeling, pulling up or standing) and is well built. It also doesn't move when placed on a carpet or area rug (so you don't have to be concerned about it pulling out from underneath your child as they play or stand). I would not suggest this on laminate or wood floors, though. I truly mean it when I say this toy has been worth every single penny (which was, literally, half the price on Amazon that it was in the stores), and our daughter has spent countless hours playing with it, both by herself, and with us.

I really liked this in theory with all of the activities it offers but there is some sort of wiring problem with these. We returned the first one that we received when it stopped working after one week of use, and it was incredibly difficult to take apart to ship back. We received the replacement and now have the same issue. The sound just keeps shutting off. It's far less useful and educational without being able to hear the different interactive levels. I fear returning and getting a replacement a second time will just be more of the same.

Update number 2 - my daughter is 2 now and she still plays with this thing. Also it’s still working!Update - mine stopped working after a couple of months. Then when I tried changing the battery I noticed that it works fine when one of the 3 batteries is not pushed in all the way. I decided to push the little metal plate where the battery contacts in more, and that fixed it! My 1 year old still loves walking around this thing even without all he sounds and lights. Now she is more engaged with the sound back on.Just had it for one day, so can't comment on the longevity yet. But so far it's working well. For all the people complaining that it's cracked - no it's not!!! It comes with 6 screws and 2 of them go into that "cracked" looking corner on the yellow board to connect with the green arch. Once the screws are on the plastics come together perfectly.

We've gone through 2 of these. One from Toys R Us and the second from Amazon. We thought maybe the first one was a fluke thing, but the same happened with the second. Within 2-3 weeks everything started malfunctioning. We thought at first it was the batteries. But each time we tried to change the batteries nothing changed. The lights stopped working, the sounds and words skipped if they even worked at all, and eventually it wouldn't turn on anymore. All within a month. I don't suggest this simply because it doesn't last any time.

It has a lot of functions, very playful. Love it! But it’s too bad that the music is off periodically .

We've had this for a couple months now and for the most part our girls love it. The green arch pretty easily comes loose. We're constantly "locking" it back in. And I'd say 4 or 5 times the sound would go on the fritz and it would sound like it was glitching... was kind of odd... BUT for the most part its been good and our girls love it.

LOVE THIS! So interactive! As my baby was learning to walk he’d hold onto it to walk. Lots of things to push, open, and shapes to take in/out and match. Things light up and make noise!! Must have for little ones!

Almost a year later and baby is still using it. No complaints. One precaution: baby flipped over one of the panels (somersault?) as she was reaching over it to grab something on the floor on the opposite side; landed on head (tall for her age so no hard impact) followed by back, not hurt but cried from the shock I believe, not for long though.Keep an eye on baby while she plays with this.Baby learnt her lesson though
