Good toy to fix a childs 'meltdown'
Bought this toy for my 6 month old from target.
He's loud enough to distract any crying baby during a meltdown in the store. When you press his chest then his hand you he plays 'night-night' music starting with a woman singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and then goes to classical music. You press his hand once, 'five minutes to night-night', you press again 'ten minutes to night-night'. Which worked so great on the car rides home from dinner at grandma's house. My husband is deployed so there wasn't anyone to keep him company in the back, and with tad he was usually always fast asleep within minutes. He sings songs about toes and clapping hands as well. Changing from clapping hands between once or five times, like a surprise every time you press his hand. He laughs and dances. My son likes to bite on tads 'ear?' while he teethes. He's soft and you can't feel the battery box like some toys since this one is in the back with lots of padding.
cons: the only things I didn't like was how he can seem loud a times(no volume dial) when you just need him a little more quiet. His belly is so low that it seems like they labeled his crotch, 'belly' which i understand kids don't know any different at their age, but its still funny/strange to adults. Also, sometimes it's a little hard to press on a button because of all the padding (on hands/foot/belly/chest). Which is better I guess if I had to choose between durability/comfort (to not feel battery pack) and ease of use.

All in all, even my son is still not able to press the buttons with all the padding I still like this toy. There hasn't been an outing yet that hasn't saved me from those in-store meltdowns. I'm pretty sure its less stressful on everyone (child, parent, and strangers) have a loud toys rather than an unhappy little one.
I recommend you get this toy for anyone who's trying to keep outings as smooth as possible. It even distracted my 3 month old nephew from crying!

Not a bad replacement
We bought this to replace our old BabyTad- which officially "died" from being played so much. The new version is cute, but definitely not the same as the older one. The "night night" songs can't be programmed minute by minute- you have 2 options of either 5 or 10 minutes of music. Some of the songs are the same, but some are different. If your child is easy going, not a problem. However, my son hated the changes and we had to pass it along to his sister instead. It took quite a while to find something sothing to replace his old BabyTad- which is no longer made.

Baby Tad
I bought this toy a few years ago for my special needs child. He enjoys it so much, especially the night time tunes. I wanted to buy a second one and couldn't find any in stores. I found it here and now I'm happy to say my son is enjoying using both. One for home, and one for school.
