Light-Up Saxophone Caterpillar Toy

On our thicker rug it tips over fairly easily when it spins, though it's fine on the hard floor in the kitchen. Minor gripe really, my son still finds it funny whichever way up it ends up.

Everything else about it is great but there's no way to turn the music down, only on or off, which isn't ideal for nap time nearby. Still gets plenty of use in our house despite that.

My little one was actually a bit startled by the lights and music to begin with and needed a few sessions to warm up to it. Now she loves it, but worth knowing it might not be an instant hit for every baby.

My daughter loves it but the tune is the same every time it's triggered, so after a few weeks it does get a bit repetitive for the adults in the room. Still a firm favourite of hers though, so no regrets buying it.

Since my son learned he can tap the base himself he will happily sit and play with this alone for a while, which gives me a chance to get a few jobs done. Genuinely one of his favourite toys right now.

Light enough to chuck in the bottom of the changing bag for trips to my mum's without weighing it down too much. Hasn't come to any harm being knocked about in there either.

A lot of musical toys end up banned from the living room because of the volume but this one is at a sensible level. Still catchy enough that my daughter dances along to it in her own wobbly way.

We place it a little out of reach on the carpet and our son will crawl the length of the living room to get to it once the music starts. Genuinely useful for encouraging him to move more.

My 10 month old chews on absolutely everything and the antennae and arms have taken a fair amount of gumming without any damage. The plastic feels sturdy rather than flimsy.

We keep one at our place and one at Grandma's so there's no fuss about bringing toys back and forth. Both of our little one's grandparents say it's the first thing she goes for when she visits.

We've had this since the summer and it still works exactly as well as day one. Lights are still bright, the tune hasn't glitched once, and it has been dropped more times than I can count.

At about 25cm tall it's a good size, not too small to lose and not too big to be awkward in a cot or playpen. My little one can hold the antennae without any trouble.

Our physio suggested toys that encourage reaching and shuffling for our 9 month old and this has been brilliant for that. She will shuffle right across the rug to get to it when the lights start flashing.

Arrived ready to go, just needed the battery cover opened which took seconds. Wipes clean easily with a damp cloth, which matters a lot with a baby who dribbles on everything within reach.

Had to order a second one because our twins kept squabbling over whose turn it was. Both of them at 14 months find the dancing motion really funny and shriek with laughter whenever it starts up.

Compared this to a few similar toys before buying and this one came in cheaper but doesn't feel any less well made. Three functions in one with the lights, music and the spinning base, so it feels like good value.

The green and pink colourway is lovely and cheerful, looks great sitting on the playroom shelf even when it's not switched on. My little one is drawn to it every time we walk into the room.

We pop this down in front of our toddler while we're finishing up cooking and it buys us a good ten minutes of peace. The tap to start feature means he can set it going himself now, which he's very proud of.

My daughter is 7 months and loves anything with lights. She can't quite reach the antennae yet but she bats at the base and sets it off constantly. Easy to wipe clean after sticky hands have been all over it.

Our eldest had one of these two years ago and loved it so much we bought a second for our youngest. Still just as charming, still well made, and the saxophone noise is somehow less annoying than other musical toys we've tried.

Wasn't sure how well a plastic toy like this would hold up with my very boisterous 1 year old, but it's taken a fair few knocks off the coffee table edge and still works perfectly. The spinning base means it rights itself most of the time too.

Got this for my sister's little one's first birthday and she messaged me the same evening to say he wouldn't stop giggling at it. The colours are really vivid and the music isn't too shrill, which I appreciated as an auntie who has to sit through it too.

Our son was never keen on tummy time until this came along. Now he pushes himself forward trying to reach the caterpillar when the lights come on. Batteries were included which was a nice surprise, and it has survived plenty of drops already.

Bought this for my 8 month old and she is obsessed with the lights and the little saxophone tune. It genuinely gets her reaching and shuffling forward on her tummy to grab it. The base spins round slowly which she finds hilarious every single time.
