Baby Walker Reviews

Review

This piano is great. As others have mentioned, there are multiple different modes for your child to play in. One is music mode, in which the piano plays different songs when the keys are pressed, and as the song plays the keys light up in the order they should be played. I’m pretty sure it’ll be a long time until my son (only 6 months old right now) will appreciate this feature, but I think it’s pretty neat that it actually teaches the song. The songs are also written out on the pages that the child can turn, which is nice too. The second mode is learning mode, in which the child can press the keys to hear the number on the key (1-8), the color of the key, and a woman singing. You have to turn the pages in order to switch between these three options in the learning mode, which took me a minute to figure out since I bought it used and didn’t have directions or anything. The third mode simply allows the baby to press the keys and play. I agree with others, the sound the keys make when they are pressed is much nicer than others I have heard, especially the one I had as a child. However, I find the woman’s singing voice pretty annoying, so I rarely set it to singing mode. Of course my child doesn’t mind it, so I shouldn’t complain too much. Overall, it’s a great product, and my son loves to sit and press the buttons. I have a feeling that he will enjoy it even more when he is able to appreciate the other features it has to offer, as well as walk around it and play with the little toys on the back. Highly recommend it!

Specifications

There’s nothing like watching small children fall in love with music. This baby grand will play Cupid to a toddler’s relationship to music. Just the right size for little fingers, with bright colors, lights, and familiar songs and learning concepts; kids will need no introduction before getting in there and starting to tickle those ivories! Three modes of play encourage children to enjoy music, learn basic concepts (alphabet, counting, opposites, etc.), or just play notes and chords on the eight-key keyboard. A plastic songbook (built into the piano) uses numerals on musical notation to teach aspiring musicians the correlation between the sounds they hear, the notes on the page, and the keys on the keyboard. Slides and buttons and dials can be manipulated to adjust tempo, pitch, and style, while a metronome keeps time. And a friendly maestro monster looms over the piano, dancing as your artiste creates composes her or his opuses. The music, as with so many children’s toys, is moderately unpleasant—nursery rhymes meet lounge jazz—but not the worst you’ll ever hear. And the joy toddlers will get out of playing their own melodies, as well as the potential for learning, far outweighs the burden of listening to cheesy tunes. Or you can just keep it in note-playing mode, and skip the pre-recorded tunes altogether! Three “C” batteries required (not included). Some adult assembly is required. –Emilie Coulter
