Bought this drum for my sons first birthday and he loved it.  He is normally sensitive to loud noises, but he really got into it.  Super cute and fun babies.  We had a baby playgroup at our house and the 1 year olds were all over it, climbing on it, banging on it with their hands.  My son is now almost 2 years old.  He still bangs on it a couple of times a week and he STANDS on it.  It's well made, sounds great.  Super entertaining.  Note:  This is a large drum, so it's not the easiest thing to store.  But it makes up in fun.
