We bought the Around We Go for our 7 month old thinking it would be fun and a great learning toy. It might be, but we never had the chance to find out. The column for the table comes in two pieces and you have to match the plastic up perfectly for the seat to rotate properly. After many hours of attempting this feat we gave up and called the company for a new part. This came in 2 days, but they forgot to pack the screws for the column and we sent ours back with the defective part so after another phone call and 7 days later, we had the screws to go with the part. Yet again the plastic part did not go together properly and this time the plastic column looked used, with scrapes all over the plastic column. When I made the 3rd attempt to call the company I was told that they could not ship me the part already assembled because it would cost to much. Basically my choices were to take the Around We Go back to the store and see if the store would refund our money or we could ship the Around We Go back to the company then wait 6 weeks for the company refund our money.

My father bought this for my son for Christmas. He is now 5 months old, using it since 1 month. A few of the things I really like about it are that he can play with the hanging toys or flip onto his tummy and play with the ribbons on the sun, zebra tail, and crinkly leaf. Until he was big enough to reach the toys(around 2 1/2 months, if I recall correctly), the lights just amazed him. You can move toys around with the loops, or even add your own like I did. The music and lights really entertain him for probably the first 10 minutes, then its mostly the lights he likes. Lights also slow down when you put it on the rainforest noises, which is nice because it allows him to fall to sleep. The reason I gave this product four stars instead of five is: while the music is nice, it is very, very repetitive and I wish there were more options. The mat is thin, so if you have hard floors you may want to fold a blanket under it for extra padding. I don’t have an issue with it on my carpet. Also, this is not the easiest to take with you, as you have to take apart the arches to get it flat, and its a little more of a pain to do than i would like. Overall its a wonderful product, and well worth the money that was spent on it.

This is a very nice product, however I think I got it too late. My son was 8 months old and even though he plays in it sometimes he rather be crawling around the house. When he does want to get in he runs around and around and loves to dance to the music, however he does not last more than 10 minutes in it. I had a friend whose son loved it and could be in it for longer stretches. I think I should have gotten it when he was younger.

The toys and the top are great and fun enough for our 5 month old, but the construction of this toy is terrible. The base is hollow, light and thin, constucted of 2 seperate pieces that you use 2 screws to hold together, which makes me think that he will either push himself and the whole thingover, or he will soon be dragging it around the house. So my point for this toy not being worth 10 dollars let alone $75. The selling point of this toy is that your child is supposed to be able to move freely from station to station 360 degrees and play with the multiple toys on top. The problem is where the swivel attatches to the base. Being that the base is made of two pieces of plastic, when your child trys to rotate around the base, he gets hung up on the seams where the 2 pieces of the base are screwed together, leaving him stuck and immobile, making the toy no better than a Bumbo with a tray.
