Perfect for your little ones!
December 2, 2022
My daughter just turned 1 & she loves this toy. The colors are nice & bright, caught her attention quickly. It keeps her busy for a while. The string attached is the perfect length. Love that there's round edges! Definitely safe for your little one.

Just what I was looking for! My so. Is at the stage where he is smacking everything and very hands on, he loves hitting stuff and hitting his toys off the ground so I thought he would enjoy this! He's making music already!

So cute! Short cord.
March 22, 2020
In agreement with others about the short cord. I?m sure it?s a strangulation regulation, so I get it. But even if you could mount the cord on the top of the fox?s head instead of the bottom, it would make a huge difference in usability. Most of my keys resonate well?the only one that is muffled is the first red one. Overall though, I love it! It rolls really smoothly, and colors and size are great!!

Not a good idea for under 12M babies
March 19, 2020
I saw the suggested age use of this toy and thought, my granddaughter is smart enough to use this, let me buy it for her. We got it, and she liked the musical notes played on the xylophone, however, the stick is what makes this toy right for the suggested age of 12M. My granddaughter is still exploring toys by sticking them in her mouth. She decided to explore with this toy only to find her lunch on her lap a short moment after. Ahh, thought grandma, this is why this toy is for 12M babies and not my 6M granddaughter. No worries, this toy is being put on hold in her toy chest until she gets a little older.

My daughter is only 6 months, so she doesn't play with it at length, but she does enjoy hitting it and hearing us play with it! (Not to mention chewing on the mallet, haha!) I see her using this for years to come! It's very sturdy and well-made and the little fox is so much cuter than other xylophones out there.

String too short
November 7, 2019
It's really cute but the string is ridiculously short. Horrible design flaw. Did any of the creators try to use the toy before putting it into production?

Cute xylophone, but...
August 25, 2019
I bought this for my daughter for her first birthday. It's an adorable xylophone and my daughters enjoy the sounds, but the string that keeps the mallet attached is soo short that it's awkward to play. Slight design flaw on an otherwise great toy!

Keys don't make good sound!
August 12, 2019
The construction quality of this toy is very, very good.the only problem with this toy is that when you hit the keys they don't resonate at all.some resonate a little bit but most of the keys are stuck this seems to be the case with all of them not just one bad toy.it's probably an easy fix for the engineers but the fact that they let so many go on the market that's troubling.

Great musical toy
June 9, 2019
I bought this for Christmas last year for my son (11 months old). He loved it! The only problem is the cord is way too short, which doesn't allow enough room for babies to bang on the xylophone. It was an easy fix- I just cut the cord off. He uses the mallet to make music and a lot of ruckus. I definitely recommend this toy. The colors are bold, it encourages a love of music and use of motor skills.

(Side note: if you pay attention to your children, you can prevent them from gagging on items they stuff in their mouths. My son has never choked or gagged on the mallet.)

Choking hazard!
January 19, 2019
The mallot on this toy can get lodged in your child's throat! My child was playing with this and put the mallot in her mouth for a good chew and it was stuck in her throat. Please make your mallot safer for children to use I almost lost my daughter from this toy.

Wonderful sound, bright, vibrant, beautiful colors, easy to grab mallet, it's awesome! My daughter just loves it! In hindsight, maybe I should have waited until she was sitting more reliably to give it to her, though. She gets so excited that she falls over, sometimes right on top of it!

Love this Xylo!
January 4, 2019
We just received this as a gift and I can not say enough good things about it. The rope is the perfect length to reach all of the notes. Both of my little ones love to play this and we never lose the mallet. We had another xylophone from a large toy brand - but the mallet was a hammer and we constantly had an issue with booboos and many days we just couldn't find it. My son loves using this as a pull toy also - overall, extremely well made and we love this toy.

Lovely toy after mama-improvements
December 25, 2018
My son loved the fox from the first look, it is cute and colorful, plastic makes it light and durable, and it gives a good scale of sounds. The cord is indeed a joke, not clear that the designers were thinking, as a child cannot even reach all notes with it! Nevertheless, very easy to disconnect: just attach your own cord of a normal length. The foxy is maybe less presentable this way, but let producers save money on the ropes ;)

I love this toy, my son has used it a lot, I agree with some of the reviews that the cord is very short, but my kid has managed to play with it, he doesn't walk yet so has not try to walked with it, but it will be an issue when he tries to pull it. (Will worry of that later on). Right know my son enjoys it a lot.

Way too short cord
March 24, 2018
I bought this as a gift (for a 1 year old child) and later found out that the cord was this short. First I couldn't believe it and thought that it must have been a default product, but unfortunately it wasn't. I am really disappointed in this product since you cannot even use the xylophone properly and it's difficult/impossible to walk with it. Even though the xylophone looks cute, I wouldn't recommend this product.

I agree with the other review that the cord is way too short. Another couple inches would be great! My daughter is happy with it, and that's what matters. She loves the Ferguson Fox line! I wish there were clothes as well.

Keys don't produce good sound
March 8, 2018
Some of the keys get stuck and don't make noise when you hit them with the mallet... And like everyone else said, the cord is too short. I cut it off... Overpriced. I expected much better quality.

March 2, 2018
I know it is most likely a safety concern - but the cord is way to short. You can't play the instrument well. If the wand was mounted in the middle It would be better.....
can we make it an inch or two longer?

Short Cord
December 22, 2017
The cord is soooo short you can barely get to all the notes. It is cute and brightly colored but my kids lose interest quickly because you can't really play it. Apparently no kid or parent testing was done. If it wasn't a Christmas gift it may have an "unfortunate" accident that resulted in it being thrown away. Glad the mallet has a spot to store it, just make the cord a little longer please!

Short cord
August 31, 2017
Love the toy. Sound is nice. Keys are pretty.
Biggest problem is the cord is so short I can't reach the last note. I play piano and I like to play simple tunes for my daughter. It's so hard to play with the length of the cord - you have to hold you arm at a weird angle. I'm going to detach the malet...

Our son seems to love playing with the xylophone toys at his daycare so we were looking for one to have at home. His playroom has a lot of the SkipHop woodland animal things in it already so this fox fit right in. It's cute and he loves to play with it!
