Great toy, son loves it

2008-02-20
My husband got this for our son for Christmas and it is still one of his favorite toys. He has learned to "bite" the pigs nose to turn it on. This toy being across the room has encouraged him to crawl more. He gets very excited about the toy and knows it by the sound.

He has played with it in his highchair several times and loves to drop it to the floor and it's still going great as should any baby toy.

It's one of the best toys we have bought in a while

Good for a laugh

My daughter received this pig as a gift when she was a couple months old and both she and I have enjoyed the cute song and noises it makes and the shaking action is also fun. The batteries lasted for over a year. The downsides of this toy are that it is heavy, so you need to be careful about throwing or dropping it, and the button that you push on the nose to make it work really has to be done by an adult - most kids cannot push hard enough.

Our daughter LOVES this toy!

Our daughter loves this cute pig, it is inexpensive and durable. She has dropped it several times from her high chair, and it still works. She likes the vibration and uses her mouth to make it work. Simple toy that keeps her entertained for a few minutes. She also has and loves the cow, but seems to pick the pig more often.

Instant giggle generator

I got this for my niece when she was 6 months old and she loved it. The different "oink" noises it makes made her laugh hysterically. She's 8 months old now and still loves it --- unlike a lot of her other toys this one has a "play life" of longer than 1 day. Of course her favorite part of the pig are the ribbon curls on the top of it's head. ;o) Kids truly do love the simplest things.

Cute but didn't bounce

We thought it was going to bounce around the room like other similar toys I've seen but it only vibrated. She cannot push the nose by herself.

Scary Toy

This Bounce Giggle Pig will delight baby when they start to bounce and rumble to the music and fun sound effects. Baby starts the action by pressing the character's nose. It's fundamental play that enriches baby's development in a brilliant way! Measures approximately 5.5" inches tall. Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries (included).

neat but dangerous

I would not suggest this toy for children under at least one year of age. While they are attracted to the vibrations it is made from very hard plastic and things such as the ears and nose sticking out can cause bumps, bruises and other tears. Also, after dropping it once on our kitchen floor it stopped working. It is cute but just be careful with this one.

It's pretty good, but not worth the money.

My daughter is 8 months and likes this toy but there isn't a lot she can do with it. The nose is soft plastic and she likes to bite it while it shakes. She can't make it go on her own, she can't press the nose hard enough. It is pretty funny to watch her shake with it, though.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
