When we got this we assumed that it was like the old style we had when we were younger where you could bat at it and it would fall down and then pop back up. Nope. It would fall down and then just lay there – it wouldn’t pop back up because of the way the battery compartment was. If you gently tap it with one finger it would wobble, but when my 12 mo old pushed it, it just fell over and did nothing. I had to keep setting it back up. My baby was bored after pushing it over 3 or 4 times. You’d be better off with the older style that doesn’t use batteries.

This was a compromise when I bought the Fisher-Price Crawl-Along Drum Roll for our daughter (Daddy picked the drum, mommy picked the penguin).
We have had no problems with this toy. You put in the 80’s favorite size of batteries (C, nothing else but the Fisher-Price Open Top Take-Along Swing – Rainforest and an old boom box run on C batteries) and it’s weighted fine. Maybe it didn’t pop up because batteries weren’t in there. The batteries add weight to make the whole thing work as intended.
It wasn’t hard to blow up. The valve is more “industrial” than most valves, so I agree that it takes more than blowing up a small beach ball, but I see that as added quality and not a knock.
The only issue so far, is that at medium range, our daughter is scared of the blasted thing. Close up, she is fine with it. She “bats” it and no problem. Far away, daddy hits it and she laughs. But at two-ish feet, she screams in bloody murder at the scary attacking penguin with the creepy clown-like “huuuuh-huuuh-huuuh-uh-huh” that it makes when “batted.”
And the last thing that is just my two cents, but oh well. There is no real educational value to this toy. It’s fun. But really, I see it as beginning self-defense training. It says somewhere on the box that it teaches your kid to “bat.” What the heck is “batting” but “hitting?” I’m all about the real toys and sick of this PC stuff, which is why I’ll train her to kick the thing in a month from her Johnny Jump-Up. But whatever. I thought I’d just add that.

First off, it was difficult to blow up. Then once I had it filled finally…the plug kept popping out. I had to tape it down! The noises it makes are very quiet. And after just a week it started to make an annoying buzzing noise, instead of the intended noises. It was a total waste of time and money.

My 7 month old loves her new penguin! She likes to play on the floor & kick, push on, and even “wrestle” with him! She gets his “paw” in her hand, and drags him down! She likes to watch the balls move around & seems to stay busy with this toy for a long time.
Her big brothers, 2 & 5, have been a little rough with the penguin, with no noticeable damage/wear. Hopefully he’ll be around here for a while!

I orignally purchased it for my baby granddaugter for Christmas. She is 6 months old, but when it arrived a their home her brother 2 years old saw the delivery guy. My grandson turned 3 last week and since he already knew about the delivery we changed it to his birthday present. He has more fun it. I just want to thank you for having the toy for our kids. You really made a little boy happy on his 3rd birthday, and I could not have done it without the help of Amazon.com
