Just wanted to let everyone know that the design of this toy has been changed. My son got this for his first birthday, and I finally had to throw it out as he continually came to me crying that his arm was stuck…and most of the time, it took a little while to get his arm out! I was a little leary of purchasing this again, but I noticed the design was new. It now has “prongs” that retract when the ball comes up and then pop back out so nothing (arms included) can get back down. The older versions DO NEED TO BE RECALLED…they are very dangerous!! Very happy with the new design!

First of all, if you loose the balls you can’t buy replacement balls. If the cheep plastic balls get smashed they wont go threw the tunnel any more. The thing keeps falling apart! The top always comes off. And my biggest gripe, boy does this thing suck batteries!!! You may as well take them to Chucky Cheese for all the money you will spend on battteries. Get the Fisher Price Giraffe ball toy instead, way better!

This is a game completely useless. Bought After reading the reviews, I thought it would be fun. My husband and I sat there with our 8 months old son in a state of shock that someone actually put this idea and has been established. The sound is like a hair dryer on low setting and try to "mask" with this music that you can hardly hear. Subsequently, the balls are starting to pop up and back into the "machine", so my son to do anything. . . UP began to have to do back in the car and slammed into our entire stay, who burst into tears. I thought maybe this is just our son. If I had friends on the Superbowl, I broke the ball Popper. 5 months to 15 months, it was a look down from there. Communitively we have decided that it takes 8 adults and 5 children to play with this toy. 4 adults, chasing the ball and 4, to calm the children. Although this method is only laughing at the absurdity of this toy, use it to show that this is a waste of money, and we send all our backs. I could not convince even one of the family to take him home. . . free. All in all, I am shocked that there are so many positive reviews and if you want a toy that your child will start with their friends, into something like the Rollipop starter set all the children played with this toy for investing more than half "HR.

This toy is suitable for 9 months and up that those responsible for Playskool. My daughter () is now 18 days old, and I liked it until tonight. As for the recovery of the balloon itself from the tube and got stuck in my arm all the way up to almost shoulder. My husband had a screwdriver to quickly retrieve loose while she screamed in pain and panic. This toy should be recalled, in my opinion.

I received this toy as a gift for my son’s 1st birthday. I thought that the air blowing sound was loud and the noise scared my child. The balls would constantly blow off the intended track. Personally, I did not like this toy b/c I prefer engaging toys that require my child to use his motor skills or intelect to manipulate the toy. This toy plays all by itself – boring. If you want something for your child to simply watch – get a goldfish, it’s not as loud!
