The fisher price dancing bandstand is a great toy I bought this as my daughter was not pulling herslef up to stand and I was recommened this toy for helping with that as their child was doing this themselves. So I bought it and it has encouraged my daughter to stand holding on to the front handle and she loves the music and the toys that are on this.

This musical play center encourages baby to dance and move! Inspiration comes from the interactive dance mat, which senses whether baby is sitting, standing or dancing. There are four instrument-themed activities, with wiggling horns, drums to tap, a sliding guitar and a light-up piano. A movin' groovin' monkey dances and spins to lively beats of three Caribbean-style songs.

Height adjusts for growing babies. So get ready to celebrate movement and music! Requires 3 "C" alkaline batteries (not included).

4 instruments & 3 ways to play!

I found this easy to put together you slide on the legs and screw in place and then you screw the dance mat into place too and thats it ready to go.
My partner found this a very amusing toy when he had to put it together for our daughter to the point she didnt get a turn until he had tried out all it did which I thought was very funny I was going to grab the camera incase he started to dance on the mat too.

In all this is a good all round toy for the baby with helping them move stand and gives them loads to get busy on this really helped my daughter and is recommended for other children the need encouragement to stand and so on.
