What it does

A battery powered baby toy bar with light up buttons, a spinning rattle drum and classical music, meant for tummy time and sitting play.

Large buttons with Baby Einstein characters that light up when pressed
Spinning rattle drum that also triggers lights
Short classical melodies including pieces by Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Rossini and Schubert
C shaped body for tummy time and a locking kickstand that folds flat
No assembly needed

A good value tummy time toy for babies from 3 months who respond to lights and music, with color and animal modes in three languages. The main trade-off is the fold out kickstand, which reviewers repeatedly call flimsy, so expect to use it flat on the floor at times.
