 Fun for baby October 7, 2008
I'm not sure what the others are talking about with the bad reviews of this toy. My daughter has one and so does her cousin and they both love it. The toy is very durable and easy to use. My daughter enjoys knocking over or tackling the penguin and then hearing what it says. She also likes to carry it around the house. She started playing with this toy at 7 months old and it has offered lots of enjoyment.
Teach Your Kid to "Bat" September 7, 2008

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.
 I disagree....my son loves this toy August 29, 2008

I have to disagree with the above reviews. My son is 8 months old and the penguin, or Hugsie (we named him), is a great motivational toy for crawling. My son enjoys pushing him over and having him come back and I found Hugsie easy to inflate. My son enjoys crawling towards Hugsie and likes to spin him around 360 degrees. I'm sorry other people had a bad experience with this toy but we love it!
 Why didn't I listen to the other reviews? July 6, 2008

I don't know why I didn't heed the warnings from the other reviews but for some reason I went ahead and purchased this product. Of course, I ended up returning the toy. In theory, I thought this would be fabulous fun for my 12 month old child but the product does not wobble and deflates in a matter of hours. This is really a poor quality product. Save yourself time and don't do what I did. Avoid this toy.

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.
