BILIBO TOY

"Gave this to my 3 year old nephew - big hit! He loves to sit and spin in it. Also makes a nice hat :)."

"Bought this as gift for a 2 yr old boy and my own 3 1/2 year old son as a christmas gift. Love the concept (my kids go nuts for a big brown box), but think maybe my children aren't old enough yet to fully enjoy this toy. At my urging they will use it, but will not seek it out, nor will it occupy them for any length of time. The most appealing thing to do is to spin in it but this is difficult to do. You must gain a center of gravity which my 3 1/2 & 18 month old are not able to do. Doesn't store well either. The child I bought it for is intrigued by it, but too young to enjoy (this per his Mom). Want to like it and maybe I will one day, but in the meantime another plastic toy pushed into the corner. I recommend it for a 5 yr old and up."

"I bought this toy for my nephew, who is 2 1/2. He hasn't gotten it yet, so I can't review his liking of it, but I think it will be a great gift for him. However, since I felt this toy wouldn't really show any wear on it, I decided to let my son (12 months) try it out and see if he liked it. Based on seeing how he played with it, I would either buy one for him or not. Well, he is already playing with it and I feel confident enough to get him one of his own now! It's a great looking toy, nice bright colors and very durable. I tried sitting in it myself, even though I was a little big! I think this is a toy that it will take a while for a child to "out grow" and I like toys that can be like that!"

"My 5 year old daughter (who is very imaginative at play and always) spent just 2 minutes with the Bilibo toy. She tried to tirl in it, didn't like feeling too unstable, tried to sit in it and didn't not feel comfortable at all. I was thinking that probably having 3 or more of these toys could be fun to just jump from one to another, but then it'd be to pricey for something of this minimal use. Even the brochure attached to the toy lists very minimal activities, half of them are not even fun, like keeping it on your back as if you are a turtle, that is a one time deal, that's all. Apparently, this toy is intended up to 7 years of age. Well, I can't even imagine how a 7 year old could possibly fit in there and comforatbly to maneuver. Bilibo just looks appealing but that's about it."

"We haven't had this for long yet, but I hope it will attract more attention soon. Thus far, we've used it to keep smaller toys together. The kids are not drawn to it yet; I really hope that soon they will be. They have sat in it, but they don't stay in it for long. And, the only time they sit in it, we've placed them in it or highly encouraged them. I think as soon as the rush of the holidays are over and we've cleared out extraneous toys and clutter, the little ones will enjoy the Bilibo."

"i bought 3 bilibo after searching months for them....my 19month old daughter will sit in it once in a while, but thats about it....BUT i had a 7year old girl stay at my house over the weekend and she just loved the bilibo! she sat in it to watch tv, she spinned in it, she sat in it and scooted all around the house, she sat on top of it when i did her hair, we even took it sliding...i think i'll put them away until my bebe is a bit older, and try again!"

"I shipped 2 of these (sight unseen) directly to my granddaughters - 5 years and 1 1/2 years old . My son said the adults and kids had the same reaction when they opened the box: "What are these?!" Then they looked at the brochure, and the 5 year old said, "Oh, I see, they can be ANYTHING!"

My son said they played with and sat in (and on) them all day, and the little one loaded hers with toys and scooted it around the room, "vrooming".

Exactly what I was hoping for - a toy that does more than one thing, and runs on kid power!"

"I really like the bilibo and the concept but my son doesnt seem too interested. He is only 22 months so that could be a part of it. I bought it to use during our long winters and because it is unique. He did find it interesting and fun when he first saw it but lost interest quickly. Not disappointed though as it is reasonably priced and has the possibility of being a great toy when he is a bit older."

"great toy, i have a few at my house for the grandkids and sent some out to the ones who live in another state.The kids can use them for years! I love imaginative toys! they can make them into anything that they can dream up and they are fun to sit in and spin or sit on, jump over-like lealp frog and more!"

"This colorful toy invites multiple uses that the child can invent or the parent can enhance. It's a toy that can engage a crawling child and a new walker by adding to its uses. A highly open-ended game that builds a baby's sense of space, motion. It opens the imagination."
