Fisher-Price Toddler Pull Toy, Classic Xylophone Pretend Musical Instrument with Mallet and Rolling Wheels for Ages 18+ Months

I got this for my youngest son for Christmas. He has loved it since he opened it. Even his nearly 3 year old brother adores it. At our family Christmas party, I got to see my youngest and his cousin hovering over it, trying to play with it together. The only issue that Ive noticed is the cord for the mallet is a little too short. My kids have gotten frustrated trying to hit the end pieces, because you can really only do it from one direction. They want to have more free motion with it. The only way to give them that free range of motion is to cut the cord, but then they lose the mallet. Thats the whole point of the cord. While that has been a little frustrating for them, they still love the toy, and it gets played with quite a bit in our house.

My daughter loves this! Only thing I would change is to make the string on it longer, other than that it’s great!

Got this for my 1 year olds birthday and she loves it. It took her a few weeks to figure out how to hit it properly. Now shes jamming out. It makes a pleasant sound. Its fun for adults to play to. I have already figured out a few songs. My daughter is a chewer though and did chew off the paint on a few keys. Shes already quite adventurous and we have to make sure it doesnt turn into a skateboard or step.

Cord could be a little longer but it does sound great

I bought this for my son and was also gifted another of the same model. While one of the two was excellent, the other had poor intonation. In a toy that will give a child their first musical experience, its important that they are exposed to good intonation if you hope to start music lessons when theyre older. On another note, Fisher Price does not state that they use BPA-free plastic - somewhat concerning as my 13-month-old likes to chew on the mallet.

I got this for my Grand son for his 2 nd Birthday. His very much into musical instruments already , and when he saw this he immediately just started playing it!! This is a great , easily understandable fun gift for a young child. I’m sure he’ll have lots of fun with it!

Could overall be a fun toy however the cord connected to the stick is barely long enough to tap on the keys of the toy.

If you receive a video of your 3 yo grandson playing “Life is a highway” when you are having a rough week you will know true joy.

I like the colors and look of this toy. Granddaughter likes it too. Although it can be loud when she plays with it, it is tolerable because of the musical notes. I agree with other reviews that string could be longer but am happy so far with this purchase.

This is a cute and well made toy. It’s a classic. However, the string is 8” long; ridiculously short. It can’t comfortably reach the keys at the far end. What is the point in a musical toy that can’t be played? We will have to lengthen the string before gifting it. Not happy.
