Playskool Giraffalaff Sit n Spin

I have been so excited to get this for my son because I had one when I was little and remember how much I loved it. It was easy to put together, only three screws. Made very well and should last though being well used in the future. My son will be receiving it for his half birthday coming up, so very excited to see if he thinks it's as much fun as I did!! Thank you for bring back an oldie for the next generation!!

We all loved this toy as kids and it is even cuter with the giraffe face on the wheel! This is a classic that is sure to keep your kiddo busy for a long time. It is very easy to assemble and only requires a screwdriver and comes in three pieces. We are really enjoying playing with this toy and I know it will continue to be a favorite in our house for quite some time. Feel free to take a look at our video review too! [...]

Purchased for our 2 year old's second birthday. She loves it (as do her siblings who are 3, 5). It works best on a hard floor (which isn't ideal if they tumble off, but kids learn to hold on tight pretty quickly after a spill or two). Can be used on carpet, however our living room has pretty plush carpet and it doesn't spin as easily. For the price this is a good, entertaining toy for a toddler (even a preschooler would get some good fun out of it). And bonus...no batteries needed or obnoxious music included!

17 month old grandson likes it for now but sure he will love it when he grows into it. He hasn't gotten the concept down yet that you have to use your hands on the wheel to turn it. I do it for him for now. He loves it when it spins though! He does tend to stand on it so have to keep reminding him to sit. It's very well made (sturdy). He is on the smaller side and he sits pretty good on it. I don't think there would be enough room for larger kids. However, they always figure out a way. lol I remember these when I was little.

I bought this as a lightning deal which was not such a great deal since, a few days later, the lightning deal price is apparently the same as the regular Prime price, and the frustration-free packaging price is slightly lower than both of those! Anyway the box was slightly damaged but the contents were fine. The assembly was easy- just 3 screws. I needed two sizes (a medium and a smaller) size Phillips head screwdrivers and it took me just 2-3 minutes. Probably would've taken less if I hadn't dropped the screws a few times. My almost 3.5 year old loves it. However, it seems a lot smaller in all dimensions than the classic red Sit n Spin I remember from my youth a few decades ago. My son is 40 pounds (clothing size 4T) and fits on it ok for now, but I imagine a kid any older might find it a tight squeeze to pretzel themselves up enough for it. As it is, the front of my son's shirt presses into the top (yellow circular part) of this so there is a slight resistance as he's spinning. All in all, it seems ok, it works as expected and is fairly quiet and stable, and he's having fun and likes the silly giraffe face (even though he's usually more of a trucks and dinosaurs type of guy). Also, it was very easy to put together. I wish it were bigger so he'd get more use out of it. Hopefully it will hold up well and last for our baby to grow into it. If you're buying it as a gift, note that it did not come in an Amazon cardboard box. Ours came just as-is in the colorful Sit n Spin box with photos on the outside so everyone could see what it was right away when we got the package delivered. I'm not sure I would use it on fine wood floors in case of damage to the floors over time, because I didn't see any rubber feet or pads on the bottom of it, just hard plastic, but we're using it on a flat woven carpet and it works great on that surface.

Got these for my nieces (18 months and 24 months) and they loved them. This is a great toy because it helps them work on coordination and will last through a few kids. Plus, it's not too expensive. Just one piece of advice: read the instructions. The assembly isn't quite as easy as it seems. We forgot the set screw and the steering wheel came off. Then my 8-year-old showed us how to assemble it correctly.

I have twins, just turned two, so I bought two of these, so as not to have them fight over one. I wasn't expecting 70s era quality, and I don't have a vintage one for comparison. I do remember that these things used to spin on carpet, too. The new ones do not. The babies love them, so I'm not quite ready to say I regret the purchase, but I wish they could spin elsewhere but my kitchen, only! I'm not sure how long these will hold up, because after 2-3 uses, they seem a little less easy to spin. If the cost had been something like $20, I wouldn't mind so much, but for the price I hoped for a bit more. Still, it's a non-electronic toy that provides physical movement, so I'm happy these are still available, and it's a nice flash from the past, for me.

This was a gift for my 2 year old granddaughter. She got the hang of using it in no time and loves it. It was super easy to assemble and I love that it doesn’t take batteries and make obnoxious, unnecessary sounds. Just great active fun, especially in winter when it’s tough to play outside.

Purchased for grandchildren and then love it.
