 Fascinating! Mar 08, 2010
My 17 month old daughter is fascinated with this toy! She is really into taking the gears off, putting them back on, and making the gears turn. She has a very limited attention span but she loves the gears and will spend 10 minutes+ with this toy. (That's a lot for her!) I would rate quality and safety as very high.
 Gears, gears everywhere! Mar 03, 2010
When other reviewers talked about its portability, it led me to assume the gears were more stable. I gave one to my grandson yesterday, and within the hour, one of the gears was missing. As soon as he'd pick it up, all the gears fell off. I was chasing parts most of the day. If I find the missing gear, I shall return this toy.
It also doesn't come with batteries, and requires a small screw driver to install them. Cole was more intrigued by trying to unscrew the battery case than he was with the actual toy.
This toy made me rethink the other presents I bought for his upcoming 2nd birthday that have multiple parts.
Lakeshore Learning carries the type of gears used in the "Brainy Baby" DVD's, but they're for 3 and up. I suggesting waiting a year and getting their magnetic ones.
Now, I'm trying to find some type of container to store his Playskool Busy Gears in, or what will be left of them, by the time I find something today:-)
good, but not what i expected Feb 22, 2010
I searched the magnetic gears that you can arrange one the fridge, and this came up in the results. I should have read it more, because although I knew it wasn't the exact gears I wanted, I was under the impression that it was similar to yet another toy that looks like this and goes on the fridge. although you can rearrange the gears, they are on certain pegs, so you're not really putting them ANYWHERE on the board that you want. it is pretty cool, but again, not the toy I expected. It is a good starter toy before you get the real refrigerator gears that are for two years and up i believe. overall, its a decent toy if you like gears.
 Busy Gears Feb 12, 2010
My 15 mo old loves this toy. She loves to take the gears off and put them back on and play the music. It is kind of loud though, so a little annoying for the parents, and I don't usually get annoyed by her toys that make sounds. But I still love watching her play with it. I do turn it off sometimes for some relief for myself. But still worth it to watch her enjoy it.
Not bad Jan 31, 2010
I thought this would be quite a fun toy, however my kid's favourite thing to do with it is simply pile all the wheels into a bag and carry them around. Other children have had fun playing with it - the music is not that annoying. My daughter simply hasn't been as interested in this as I would've thought. It is sturdy, though, especially when the kids try to stop the wheel while it's automatically turning.
