We bought this for our 16 month old son. He has had it about 4 months and still loves it. It has every thing you could want, shape sorting,put and take, buttons to push, music, phone, peek a boo. Even a clock and gears to turn. We love it, it had the most activities in one toy. We also like it that the Fisher Price shape sorter (yellow can with circle, square and triangle) shapes can also be used with it. It also makes a great gift.

I bought this toy, sight unseen, for my son's 1st birthday, based solely on the glowing reviews. We've been disappointed with it so far. The electronic sounds are extremely loud and annoying- they play for a LONG time and there is no off switch. We had to remove the batteries because the noises scared my son. The "telephone" is a worthless piece of junk- there are MUCH better toy phones out there (consider the ones from Fisher Price or V-tech). My son does play with the gears and the clock a little, but it's not worth buying the toy just for that. For the same amount of money, you could buy a better shape sorter, toy phone, jack-in-the-box and still have money left over.

My daughter received this as a gift a year ago at 16 months old and LOVED it. We were visiting Gramma and she had no toys to play with and this entertained her for weeks! Now that she is almost 2 1/2, she loves it just as much because she can successfully accomplish all of the activities. Every friend we've had to play LOVES this toy as well! I highly recommend it, and am thrilled to have found it here, because I will definitely be giving it as a gift, as well as letting all the other Mommies know where they can find it! Definitely worth the money!

What makes the Papillon a great alternative to cold, hard plastic baby bath seats? 1. The Papillon develops your baby's sense of independence. While a traditional bath seat restricts movement, the Papillon allow baby to float and move around safely in the tub. Your baby is able to grab bath toys by himself and even lie on his back or tummy! 2. The Papillon enhances baby's motor skills and sense of balance. The Papillon allows your infant maximum movement and freedom while keeping him safe and stable in the water. Bound passively in a plastic infant bath seat your baby is not able to move and develop his motor skills in the water. 3. The Papillon supports your baby even when he tries to stand up. This wearable bath ring fits snugly below baby's waist and stays on securely even as he begins standing and walking, to toddlerhood. Plastic bath seats can't support a baby who tries to rise from a seated position. 4. The Papillon outlasts a traditional bath seat. Begin using the Papillon when baby can sit up unassisted - between 7 to 10 months of age - and continue to use it as he starts standing and walking on his own. 5. Made of gentle fabric, the Papillon is soft and comfortable against baby's sensitive skin. 6. The Papillon lets you bathe all of your baby's body with ease. Finally, you can reach and bathe all of baby's parts without straining and lifting him out of an uncomfortable bath seat. 7. The Papillon lets you easily bathe two children or twins at a time. Bathe one twin while the other plays safely in the water. Or, let an older child get a bath at the same time as your little one plays freely. 8. The Papillon is super easy to clean. There are no complicated parts to remove and scrub! Just rinse under running water and let it hang to dry. You can also throw it into the washing machine! 9. The Papillon is light, foldable and portable. As a light weight and foldable baby bath seat, the Papillon is easy to store and carry.
Create a Developmental Playground for your Baby in the Bath Tub!
Complies with US CPSC Safety Standard and the European Standard EN71.
If your baby is sitting up on his own and has outgrown his infant tub, this product is exactly what he needs to play freely in the water while you wash him safely.
Made of fabric, the Papillion's revolutionary butterfly shape prevents baby from tipping over in the tub. It lets baby "float" around the bathtub and reach for bath toys freely!
Simply tie the Papillon below baby's waist and let the fun begin!
This review is from: Papillon Baby Bath Ring - Light Blue (Baby Product)
I put this on my 9 month old daughter, who can sit up in the tub and play unassisted while taking a bath, and she immediately managed to flip over with her head underwater and her legs up in the air. It's the first time she's ever been so upset in the bathtub, she swallowed water and was hysterical. I still wanted to believe it was a good device so I emptied the tub a little more and had her sit with it on...it got in the way of bathing, felt bulky and really didn't do much for her safety at all. I think a simple ring float would do the same job and cost much less. The Papillon is filled with styrofoam balls which stink like chemicals and it just feels cheaply made, plus it took an eternity to dry all the way through. I don't usually write reviews that are bad, but I really, really disliked this product and am mailing it back. With all the wonderful reviews I was very surprised that it wasn't better.

I don't normally write reviews, but we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product. Our daughter has used it from the time she could sit-up and with a little practice and supervision (of course!), she can play in the tub for long periods of time on her own while we watch. I think that the negative reviewer may not have been filling the tub up with enough water... we fill the tub full and let her play, as it's essentially a flotation device and the petals give stability when the water props them up, so if you only bathe your child in 3 inches of water it probably won't do much for you.

This review is from: Papillon Baby Bath Ring - Light Blue (Baby Product)
We LOVE the Papillons!! They are so amazing! Our twins can play in the bath freely and we have peace of mind!! We love that our babies can lay on their bellies, roll onto their backs, and even lean to the side to grab a toy, and the Papillon helps keep their faces out of the water.

Safe play baby xylophone is uniquely designed with rounded edges and easy clip storage for the mallet. Each Key is tuned to pitch "before" it is placed on the frame and guaranteed to be perfect pitch and scale for teaching children music and playing with others. Frame is flexible and crack resistant. Size: 11" long x 5 1/2" wide (at the C note base); Handle 3/4" x 2 1/2" wide.
A great way to introduce your little one to music through play
This review is from: Baby Xylophone Musical Toy (Baby Product)
In many ways this is a great toy, we like the sound, weight, bright colours BUT the mallet is VERY DANGEROUS for small babies, especially those teething who will stick everything in their mouths. Although the edges are rounded that will not prevent the ends getting STUCK in your baby's mouth. While happily playing and chewing my nine month old got the end of the mallet JAMMED between the roof and bottom of his mouth. Horrible experience, fortunately he was fine but it could easily have become a real nightmare. DO NOT GIVE THE MALLET TO BABIES. Save this toy for when chewing and exploring with the mouth are long over.

After lots of searching I settled on this model for my 10 month old boy. He's still a little young for this but will grow into it. This is the perfect design for young kids and is well made - in Israel. The pitch is excellent and the design is sturdy. Rounded edges are nice and safe and the kid can't pry off any of the notes. It gets dropped a lot. The mallot is just what you want too, as they will stick it in their mouth and run around with it, so you don't want the standard stick. Worth the exra money!

This is the only xylophone I could find for babies that is actually in tune! It plays a complete scale (C to C) so we can play recognizable songs on it easily (fun!) plus it has the added educational value of teaching little ones what a scale should sound like. I really like the plastic edges, which cover up the sides of the keys so babies can't chew on them. The mallet is plastic too and seems safe to me. It's nice that the mallet attaches to the back of the xylophone so we don't loose it.
