Hasbro Playskool Musical Sit N Spin (Colors May Vary)

My 20 month old daughter LOVES this "gift from Santa"! She sits on it and turns around just smirking at me the whole time. She plays the music, sometimes hitting the same button over and over again and even dances while spinning around on the toy. I read complaints of the music being too loud...I haven't noticed it at all. Don't get me wrong, it's noisy, but my husband and I both find ourselves "dancing" to the music while she's spinning. I've not found it obtrusive at this point.I'm not sure it's fair to rate this educationally...It's not really supposed to be an "educational" toy. I'm sure she's "learning" cause and effect by spinning in the opposite direction her hands are moving...or that she's hearing music every time she hits the buttons...but it's a fun toy. She uses it daily - sometimes with her legs straight out, sometime with them crossed. It's a blast to watch her.

When I was looking to purchase a sit n spin, I was concerned by all the reviews saying it wasn't sturdy and didn't spin as well as the old school ones. The one I purchased for my daughter spins just as well as I remember. Of course, the music part is annoying so I took the batteries out. As long as it's on a hard surface, the sit n spin works quite well and my 3 1/2 year old son does great on it too! The stick and handle don't seem as sturdy as they used to make but it is sturdy enough. I remember they used to make it out of heavy grade plastic. Overall, it's a definite buy for me.

With all the other present options on Christmas, this was the least popular. My five year old and three year old still played with it but other things held their attention longer. When assembling it, my husband and I about had a heart attack. The noise that played once the batteries where in sounded like awful early eighties roller rink music. After the painful flash backs we cut the sound wires and screwed it together. We left the flashing lights working... so the boys would get some reward for their spinning effort. It is great for getting they boys to use their own muscles, so I am still happy with the purchase.

My daughter had this when she was little and loved it. I purchased it again for my niece's son. This Sit N Spin was supposed to be musical, but you could barely hear any music at all. I was very disappointed.

I think my granddaughter was a little disappointed in this toy. It is a little hard to spin, but she has a good time trying. Not bad for the price now days

I bought this for my granddaughter because both my daughter and daughter-in-law loved theirs when they were children. What a huge disappointment. The base is much too small and you have to be muscle-bound to turn it. My granddaughter can only spin by pushing with her foot - so what's the point? The only time she can spin it like it should is if she sits next to it and simply twirls it with her hand so her toys can take a ride. I'm returning this one along with the one I bought for her to keep at my house. My daughter-in-law gave one to her neice and it's also going back. Hasbro should apologize for this and try using real kids to test their products. P.S. Why add music? Sometimes the simple things are best. Just let the kids have fun spinning and they'll make up their own songs!

My 2yo son got this for Christmas. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten him to SIT and spin ... he wants to STAND and spin! An accident waiting to happen ... BUT ... he LOVES the music and plays it often, dancing joyfully to each song ... with a "YEE HAW" before the "country" style song. I am hopeful that he will eventually decide to SIT and spin as I have shown him ... once he does, I know he will love it ... as he LOVES to "SPIN AROUND!"

I did not received the advertised item, I paid for a musical sit n spin I received an orginal sit n spin. Was very disappointed!
