My daughter received this as a gift when she was 4 months old. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now that she is 18 months, she does show interest in it. What I LOVE about this is that I was able to program her name to it so that when it "talks" to her..it says her name. She just looks at it..like how do you know my name. hee hee. I also like all the customization you can do with it. There were quite a few songs you can choose for it to play etc. My daughter likes to play the music portion of it and dance. Too fun! I would definitely give this as a gift!
