Vtech Jungle Gym Bouncing Colors Turtle

not much bounce for the buck
My son received this as a christmas gift and he cannot make it bounce. He weighs 30 pounds and should easily make this work, but we have to bounce him on it.

Not impressed
I'm kind of disappointed in this toy. It's too light weight that when my child bounces she sometimes lifts it off the floor. Not sure how far it turns it's very hard to just swivel to each side - maybe that's what it's suppose to do. As for being educational, I'd say not much. The Fisher price Zebra my niece has is much better! It's more sturdy, etc. I think this one is priced too high for the quality of the product. I bought it b/c I liked the giraffe stationary bike and thought I would like this too but I don't.

21 month old loves it!
Doesnt have any bouncing issues or turning issues with my daughter who is only about 32 pounds. She drags it all over the house and loves bouncing and dancing to the catchy music on it. I think that the educational value of this toy is medium, basic colors, shapes, bouncing etc. But as long as she is having fun, who am i to complain? Lots of fun for the small price.

Product doesn't 'bounce'
You would have to double the recommended weight limit to make the turtle bounce we're taking this back and getting the Fisher Price Zebra. The toy also does not spin as the box indicates without considerable force. Nice music though.
