This drum was such a great buy!  My girls still love to play with it.  I also bought one for my niece for her 1st birthday.  I think it makes a really nice gift.  It is made extremely well and is a high quality product.  If you are looking for an instrument to last w/ your kids, this is it.  And it's large enough that a little baby can sit on top of it and feel the drumming vibrations.
