Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper

I got this for my granddaughter because she likes to play ball. She is 18 mos old and can say ball very clearly. This turned out to be so much fun for all of us. We just laugh and chase the balls when they pop out too high. And she knew right away just how to push the button to start the balls. It's good exercise and loads of laughs. I highly recommend it.

My son got this toy when he was 10 months old. He absolutely loves it. My problems with it are that sometimes the balls don't pop up at all or they fly out too forcefully and go across the room. Sometimes he likes to push the plunger on it just to feel the air blowing from the pop out part.

Well, at first this toys was acceptable for my son. The music is fun. The balls fly too far up into the air and roll all over the place! My son can't keep up with them and neither can I! Also, at 9 months or so may son developed a fear of this toy. I think it is the noise- it is quite noisy.

My daughter likes this toy a lot - it was a gift and we were very excited about it at first.
Unfortunately we don't like it as much as my daughter does - the balls fall out onto the floor more than they stay on the toy track and my daughter gets frustrated because to play with the toy more than once requires a break to go pick up all the balls that flew out of the toy.
Also, sometimes the balls seem to get stuck in the chute - maybe the air pressure gets blocked or something, not sure.
My daughter likes it, so that's the most important thing, but I really wish the balls didn't drop out all over the floor.

My daughter, Callie, received this toy as a gift for Christmas (so my review is of a short period of ownership). Although she is only 6 1/2 mos, she very much enjoyed watching the balls move throughout the toy. Her 2 year old cousin, Lola, also enjoyed the toy, but could not grasp the concept that the balls come out of the upper hole and the toy became frustrating for Callie, Lola, and us supervising adults when the balls were put into the upper hole causing them to become stationary inside the toy. The other minorly frustrating thing is that when the balls come flying out, they hit each other or the toy itself and get scattered around the room - thankfully not dangerously. The picture on the box is somewhat deceptive when it comes to this fact. All in all, I don't think it's a bad toy, but could've used a bit more thought into the making.
