If you are looking for a great toy for your baby or very young child, Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes is the ideal gift. Consider it an MP3 player for your youngster designed to promote music appreciation at an early age. It’s push button simple. By that we mean all your baby does is press a colored button and the toy will play one of 7 classical masterpieces in a baby friendly way. If you want to introduce your youngster to the likes of Mozaret, Chopin, Vivaldi and Rossini, this is the perfect toy to do it.

But it does more than play music. Colorful lights move across the screen to enhance the experience. And the caterpillar handle helps make it easy for little hands to hold and take along.

The reviews on Takealong Tunes are almost all good. Even the sound quality (usually a problem in most baby toys) is said to be quite good. If there are any complaints it might be that the melody clips are too short. But I don’t see that as a major problem since most baby’s will repeatedly press the button anyway. More volume settings might be good as well, there is only Off, Low, and High.

Durability also doesn’t seem to be a problem. Naturally with small children the toy will be dropped hundreds of times. Most of the reviews we read said this toy will really hold up well, although we did find a few where it broke. Not very many though.

What is amazing is how so many people talk about how their child is simply mesmerized by this toy all the way up to about age 2. It seems to quickly become a baby’s favorite plaything. As a result it seems like you can’t go wrong by getting your baby a Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes.
