Bounce, spin, and dance away with the Fisher Price Baby Gymtastics Bounce and Spin Zebra. Ideal for ages 12 to 36 months this lively zebra enhances motor skills as the child learns coordination, balance, and how to climb on and off. Sure to become every youngster's favorite toy, five uplifting songs play as the child bounces and turns 360 degrees. Fun sounds reward movement and strengthen auditory skills. The Bounce and Spin also has an activity handlebar with a rolling ball to encourage eye-hand coordination. Fun for the Little One The wide, sturdy base of the Bounce and Spin Zebra provides stability and support, even with hard bouncing and spinning. And to prevent falls, the Zebra locks until the child is sitting properly in the seat. It also has an off-soft-loud switch that little fingers can't turn. Orange, easy-grip handlebars allow the toddler to hold tight as they take their wild ride. For even more fun, a ball spins in the center with lights and music. This toy is relatively low to the ground, so that most children can climb on and off by themselves. Putting together the Zebra is easy, but be aware that the carton contains small parts for adult use only. This product requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). Features Better than a boring old horse, this lively Zebra really encourages physical development. It comes as no surprise that the Bounce and Spin Zebra won the Hot Toy award from Toys 'R Us in 2006, and accolades from other companies. Parents get a lot of use out of this toy, as children can play with it until they are about three years old. The zany Zebra won't tilt under pressure and it has an irresistibly cute appearance that kids love. Five fun songs and activity handlebars keeps active kids bouncing, busy, and happy. 
This toy encourages baby's physical development through bouncing and spinning. |

| We just got this in the mail two days ago and my son loves it. My son was so excited and wanted to get on it before I even had it put together. It's a very cool and innovative idea. It's very easy to assemble as long as you have a screwdriver. I think my son is tall for his age but he is still on his toes unless he has shoes on. He has fallen a couple times when he's not paying attention or holding something instead of holding on but hasn't hurt himself. |
1st Birthday Gift - GREAT!

My daughter first saw this toy at her daycare and loved it right away. (So did many of the other children at her daycare, the line to play is always long) We decided she'd like one for home so she got it as a gift for her 1st birthday.
Like other reviewers have said she was so excited that she wanted to ride on it while I was putting it together. She plays with it everyday and even her 4 year old sister loves to play with her. The 4 year old is too big too ride it, but she loves to stand behind her sister and push on the zebra's sneakers to help my 1 year old bounce.
At 1, my daughter's feet barely touch the floor so to make it bounce she either needs her sisters help or she bounces her butt in the seat (not using her feet). The only problem with her bouncing in the seat is the toy tends to slide forward with each bounce. But even with it sliding it has never tipped and with the extra wide base I don't think that it will be a problem.
She can get off the zebra with no problem (which is adorable to watch) but getting back on she needs a little boost. With the way kids grow though I'm sure she'll be able to do it on her own real soon.
This is a great toy to grow with. My good friend's son, who is 2, has one and still plays with his all the time. My 4 year old daughter would LOVE to ride on it, but she's close to the weight limit so we won't let her. But that says a lot for how fun the toy is when its appealing from age 1 to age 4.
The songs the toy plays are cute, and it also makes som galloping and horse breathing noises that are really funny. It has 2 volume levels to chose from which is also nice. The barrel in the front has beads that spin around and lights that flash. My 1 year old loves that part just as much as the bouncing.
I highly recommened this toy!

| We bought this for our baby's first birthday. It has been three months now and she has used it every single day!! Once she learned to get on it (she figured it out the first day) - she was riding away. It is also very amusing to watch, so everyone is entertained with this toy. When I looked at the box - I was worried about it tipping, but that has not happened and I do not see how it could. The base is heavy and wide, yet it does not take up alot of room. If you have a baby who is very active - I highly recommend this Zebra. |
Great Toy for the Price!

| I wanted a fun and unique ride-type toy for my granddaughter's first birthday. I watched the video of this toy at Fisher Price's website, then came here to read the reviews. My granddaughter loves the toy but she is only 12 months old and this toy will be better once she gets about 14-16 months old as she needs assistance mounting the zebra but she gets off it just fine. The box states it's for 12-36 months old children. The base is very sturdy and the music that plays is not annoying at all. The zebra occasionally makes a "wheeee" sound like a horse. My granddaughter is intrigued by the lights and beads on top the zebra's head. Great toy, simply adorable and with pleasant sounds and music, great price and everyone thinks I spent alot more that $39 for it! Buy it, you won't be disappointed! |
Bounce, bounce, all day long!!!

| My fifteen month son loves his newest toy. He climbs all over it and bounces all day. Well, not really all day but he loves to bounce. This is a great toy for all little ones. My son loves to play outside and with the weather getting colder in the Pittsburgh PA area, this is a great toy for him to burn energy on and stay active. I would highly recommend it to all. |
Greatest Toy Ever!!

My daughter received this as a gift on her first birthday and she loves it. She can get on and off with no help and has the best time bouncing around. The toy is extremely well made and has lots of safety features so that your toddler can play by themselves. The toy is almost impossible to tip over thanks to the ultra durable base and the Zebra itself is made so that it cannot swivel unless there is weight on it. Therefore your child can stand and hold on to the Zebra and get on without the animal moving. Then when the child is on he can bounce and turn as much as he likes.
My daughter LOVES, LOVES, the toy. It is the best gift for a one year old!

If your child likes rocking and climbing, this toy is for him/her!
Putting the zebra together was a cinch and took less than 5 minutes. For once batteries were INCLUDED!
When my 15 month old son saw it, he immediately climbed into the seat and began discovering what it could do. He continues to play with this toy multiple times per day... sometimes by rolling the rattle; sometimes by turning the two animal toys on the side (either of these actions makes special noises). Also he loves that the rattle lights up! And best of all, it has an OFF/soft/loud switch that his little fingers can't turn, but are easy for me to move. In the off position, he still has fun rocking up and down.
Another great benefit of this toy, is that when the child is not sitting on it, the zebra is locked and does not turn or bounce, allowing the child to get on with ease (and decreasing the chance of falling). So when my son grabs the orange handle to get on, it doesn't move. Once he is sitting on the zebra, the animal can move up and down, and also can turn 360 degrees. I have had no issues with tipping and my son has not fallen off of it even one time (he is 15months old).
Lastly, I was surprised how tiny the box was; it packs really small once the first child outgrows it! Unfortunately, it does not fold up for storage between uses... and does take up some space (though well worth it). |
BOUNCED right into the shopping cart!

| It took our son (at the time 27 months) some time to warm up to the zebra... it's big and bright and loud. But once he felt he wasn't a threat... it was love at 1st ride. Thrilling and entertaining - both for the rider and those watching! In the past you'd have to go to the playground or a pay-place to experience a thing like this. But now it's right in your playroom. Easy on batteries, too. A real eye catcher/conversation piece... most people have never seen anything like it. It looks deliciously expensive! |

| I just wanted you to know to not buy this product at the prices listed here because you can find it cheaper! THis is really a great product, but wait to find it elsewhere...such as Walmart or even Toys R us to purchase. I love Amazon and have bought several things..but these two particular products are priced way too high!!!! |
Perfect

Bought this for my niece for a 1 yr b-day gift. She loves it and won't get off of it. I also have a 2 yr old niece that adores it. I was a little disappointed to find that it didn't sway from front to back or side to side, then realized that that feature is completely dangerous for a one year old.
I am so happy I bought it and strongly believe it was a great investment. My nieces have been using it constantly for 6 months straight now. |
good toy for tall boy too

| It's my 2 year and six month old son's favor toy now and he loves to ride on it and shout " HEEHAAAAAA" all the time. When I bought it I was afraid that it won't fit my son coz my son is really tall at his age. He's 40 and half inches. Since i take it home and just fit him. I am glad i bought this toy for him:) |
So much fun for your little one!

I bought this zebra for my granddaughter's first birthday and she just loves it! I was afraid she might let go and fall off, but it's been 2 months with a lot of use, and she hasn't fallen once. It's small enough that she can climb on and off by herself and, although she can only touch one foot on the floor at this point, she really gets that thing bouncing!! But the best part is seeing her little face light up! She seems so pleased with herself, and has a lot of fun with it!
The toy itself seems very well made. There's no difficult construction, no sharp edges, no place for the child to get pinched or caught. The wide base keeps it stable no matter how how much your child bounces and spins. In the middle of the handle is a toy that spins with lights and music, and my granddaughter will often play with that while she takes a break from bouncing.
I must admit, my granddaughter has a LOT of toys to choose from... Now that she can walk by herself she wants to be independent and being able to climb on by herself, bounce like the dickens, and climb off by herself seems to put this toy at the top of her list! And because she has plenty of room to grow and still fit on it, I'm sure this little zebra will be a favorite a long time to come! |
Excellent Buy!!!

My son is 12 months old and loves to bounce. We didn't know what to do when he broke his bouncy chair a few months ago. He bounced so hard that it finally broke! This was the best toy to buy him. Great music. I wish I had purchased it sooner.
Wal Mart in Canada had no stock anywhere, and they are about $100 on ebay (December 06). By doing the free shipping the price was great and I received it in 5 days.

| My 1.5 year old spends the first minutes of her day enjoying this toy. Excellent toy for energetic kids who love to dance, jump and have lots of energy. Sound effects and moving parts have my duaghter spinning and bouncing on it all day. Doesn't take up alot of space like other toys we have had in the past so it fits anywhere. |
