Title: I don't get it (and neither does my 12 month old)
Product review: Based on the glowing reviews, I really wanted to get this toy for my now 5 year old when he was a toddler but just couldn't justify the expense. Now that we've received the toy as a gift for my baby, I truly don't get what all the excitement is about. My son does like the singing animal buttons but the shape sorter side is a source of total frustration. Obviously, he's too young to unlock the door so we leave it open. But then he has a hard time keeping it open to get the shapes out and ends up ripping it off it's hinges! I'm sure that can't go on for too long before it will be broken for good. The pop-up bear side is too hard for a little one to work and too simplistic to interest an older child. The other sides are mildly interesting to me but not at all interesting to my son. All kids are different and it turns out this one would rather play with blocks, cars, balls or pans (all alot cheaper not to mention quieter, with the exception of the pans!)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
