Light-Up Baby Ball

Pros: great electronic toy for infants
Cons: it does make noises

As I have said many times before, I am a HUGE V-Tech fan. I have about 15 of their infant toys. My daughter loves all of them, and this one was no exception. The Light-Up Baby Ball holds her interest and encourages learning at the same time.

I...

Pros: Reliable company, easy to push buttons
Cons: Music goes on too long

My family loves VTech toys. My husband used to have a VTech computer, so when we had our first baby he ran out and bought a whole ton of VTech toys.

We bought the light up ball for our second baby, even though we already had a talking baby...

Pros: Wonderful! Lights and sound
Cons: Uses batteries

When our daughter was around 3 months old I went and bought the Light-Up Baby Ball for her.
It is a great toy. At first she was very interested in the lights and the sounds.
It plays a lot of the songs that we sing to her and the whole family...

Pros: Bright lights ,and sounds, durable from infancy through toddlerhood
Cons: none

This is a sturdy, fun toy for infant or toddler. We purchased this toy when our baby was six months old, he is now eighteen months, and it is still a favorite. The bright lights ,and sounds hold his attention. When he was an infant learning to crawl, he...

Pros: helps baby learn first words, improves coordination
Cons: heavy for infants and could be annoying for parents

I was just cleaning out my sons toy chest and found on the bottom and found his Light-Up Baby Ball that he used when he was an infant. This toy is designed for a 6 month to 18 month old child.

It is a fairly heavy ball that is about 3/4 the...

Pros: Very durable and alot of play time.
Cons: None

This toy looked interesting to me on the shelf but I was like "probably another toy to just sit around" But I liked it and bought it for my son that was 7 months at the time for Christmas. He was thrilled with it from the start!

I...

Pros: Very Entertaining - durable
Cons: Kinda hard on my kitchen floor!

My 1 year old daughter received this toy as a gift for Christmas. She could hardly wait to get it unwrapped and threw a major fit when we had to take it away to get it out of the box! Since then she has continued to play with it and still loves it, and...

Pros: attention grabber
Cons: children want to bounce it, names too jumbled when you roll it, can be annoying

This VTech toy was bought for our son after he enjoyed the first one so much. We had been so thrilled with our first VTech toy and had told everyone about it, so it was no surprise to see this as a gift.

However, I was not as impressed as I...

Pros: lights, sound, interaction
Cons: Spontaneous outbursts

This was one of my son's first toys. Before he was really moving on his own, he was enthralled by the lights and the music. As he got older, he learned that he could move the ball, and when a button was pressed by the floor, the sound and lights would...

Pros: bright lights and catchy tunes
Cons: songs can kind of drive you nuts

I recently bought the VTech ball for my daughter for Christmas. I have always heard great things about VTech products, so I knew I couldn't go wrong. Our daughter is 8 months old now and thinks this toy is the icing on the cake! The lights and music...

Pros: Colors, durable
Cons: Same songs

In case you don't understand the title--I want 6 kids(yes 6 -pull yourself back up into your chair). My son is 2 and this was bought for him when he was still very young. I'm not sure of an exact age but I'm guessing he was 3 months.

This...

Pros: cute, attracts my kids' attention
Cons: doesn't bounce! annoying music and voices

I'm not sure, exactly, when my husband bought this for my baby daughter, but she loved it. She loved pressing the pictures to make the songs play or the male and female voices say stuff like "bye bye" and "baby". And she would do this over and over and...

Pros: Sturdy, cute, inexpensive
Cons: ?

We picked up this ball in Wal-Mart, basically with no intention of purchasing it. We had it in the cart to keep the baby entertained while we were doing our shopping. This method has begun a tradition for toy selections in our home. If the toy doesn't...

Pros: great developmental toy
Cons: none really

My baby received this toy as a Christmas gift when he was only two months old. Then he was still a little too young to play with it, so my 2 year old took it over. He loved to push the different buttons and mimic the sounds. There are two settings for...

Pros: colorful, large buttons, music tunes
Cons: a little loud for *big* people

I decided to purchase this particular toy for my daughter after visiting a friend whose son simply adored it. It has six large buttons that either play music tunes, or say the correct name of the button which is being pressed. The ball is very colorful,...

Pros: Great for language development and assosication
Cons: It is really heavy when you aren't expecting it.

This is a great toy to have around when your 1 year old is starting to understand words, not a great toy when she is learning how to play ball.

This ball is very cute. My little girl really enjoys it. She especially enjoyed it from about 9...

Pros: Teaches baby words and sounds
Cons: Baby may get bored.

Well, I had been eyeing the Light Up Baby Ball for a while and I thought my son would enjoy the flashing lights and character sounds while I showed him how to roll the ball back and forth. At first he took to it and had fun pressing the big buttons that...

Pros: entertaining and they learn at the same time
Cons: can get on my nerves a lil bit!

The Light-Up Baby Ball is a great toy for toddlers. I got my daughter this toy for her first birthday, and she absolutely loved it. She plays with it all of the time. This ball has everything. It has fun shaped stars that light up, and it plays music...

Pros: Colorful and musical
Cons: Weight

My daughter, when she was six months old, loved this ball. To say more about it, when she just saw it here on the screen, ran to her room to get it and is now playing with it!

The colors are eye catching for younger children and the music...

Pros: Lights, sounds, colors, Oh MY!
Cons: Heavy

This toy was given to me as a hand me down from a cousin. My 3 month old LOVES it! It plays music, talks in different voices, meows, barks, and to top it all off, it lights up as it is doing it!

It has vibrant red ends, with bright yellow in...

Pros: Affordable, Good Quality
Cons: Doesn't Hold Child's Interest for Long

My son received one of these balls for Christmas, although it looks different from the one pictured. His ball is white, not yellow, and the surface is hard plastic, not soft at all. The title reads, "Bright Lights Baby Ball." It features a...

Pros: keeps a child's attention
Cons: hurts when thrown

My boy got this for a present on his 1 yr old b-day. He's 2 now and he still plays with it. There is not many toys that keep his interest and this one does. My son plays with it often you can set it to music mode or talking mode. He used to like the...

Pros: This ball does so many things
Cons: It will play music when not being touched

My 1 year old twin boys just love this ball. They roll it back and forth and just giggle and laugh as the music plays and the lights flash. This ball also has buttons with different things on them such as a kitten, teddy bear and people. The ball has a...

Pros: easy for baby to use
Cons: sounds were a disappointment

I had purchased a musical ball for my daughter when she was an infant 13 years ago. Now that I have my infant son, I was looking to purchase the same item. This ball is not exactly the same as the previous one but holds the same entertainment value now...

Pros: Excellent Toy for younger children
Cons: No Cons

I bought this toy because i knew my daughter who is 7 months old would love to play with this toy. This toy is recommended for children starting at ages 7 months and up. My daughter loves to play and hold this colorful ball. She loves to see the...

Pros: Will be played with often
Cons: none

An excellent toy! My son received this when he was 6 months old. I have never seen a child that young so happy about a toy. He was totally consumed by it until he turned about 1 year old. The ball itself can play music and say words. It has a switch for...

Pros: durable, entertaining, promotes crawling
Cons: is heavy when thrown

I have a 14 month old baby girl. I bought this toy because she loves balls and talking toys. It has been a real hit and has held up wonderfully for the 8 months she has played with it. First she crawled and rolled it all over. Now that she is walking she...

Pros: Teaches Vocabulary
Cons: Can't Adjust Volume

What else can you ask for. V-Tech has made an inexpensive toy that your baby will love. The great feature of this toy is that it teaches simple vocabulary. That was the deciding factor when I purchased this. As soon as my niece was saying DADA, I felt...

Pros: Many different sounds
Cons: Too heavy for small babies to pick up & manipulate- must be used on floor

My baby just got one of these toys for Christmas. Although it has to be the same one pictured here, ours is different. The colors and design is much nicer than in the picture on this page. This ball is about 8" in diameter, and weighs a couple...

Pros: None
Cons: The Whole Concept

When I first saw this V-Tech ball at Toys R Us, I thought my daughter would love it! She could roll it, and it would talk, play music and light up. After about 2 minutes of playing with it at home, she forgot all about it. My husband and I have tried...

Pros: Requires physical manipulation to activate (develops fine motor skills), encourages early receptive and expressive language skills
Cons: Dim lights on stars

I'm a pediatric speech-language pathologist, and this toy is a favorite of children I see in therapy who are just beginning to sit up with assistance, but who are not yet walking. The volume is good (and adjustable), the speech is clear and encourages...

Pros: entertaining,educational,soothing
Cons: none

My six month old son received this ball from "Santa"
for his first Christmas and it has been a joy to watch
him play with it. He is able to hold it and loves to
listen to the music,especially when he is getting sleepy.
I do...

Pros: Has potential to be educational.
Cons: Dangerous and Annoying

This toy is annoying as can be.My father bought this toy for my first son when he was born and i could probably count the times that he's played with it.The toy is hard plastic and makes loud annoying sounds with not much choices to listen to,but puppy...

Pros: Babies Love It!
Cons: Too Spooky For Me!

My daughter got this ball when she was about 6 months old. She loves it, but I think its kind of spooky myself!

Picture this: It's the middle of the night, say 4AM and you awaken to hear a noise coming from the other room. You open your eyes...
