Great Highchair Entertainment
We bought this for our daughter for her highchair, and it has been the best entertainment while she's waiting for her food! It's cute, durable, great quality, and cleans easily! I just wipe it down with a baby wipe after each meal (she is a messy girl!) You just have to make sure the surface where you want it to stick is clean and dry. Otherwise, it the suction cups won't stick. Overall, a great toy for a highchair!

Nice product!
Fun travel size baby bead maze. Can fit in diaper bag to take with you on errands. We keep it on the mat with the other toys and it's a favorite to mess with. She's still young and can't grasp it fully yet but all my kids love bead mazes. They help kill some time :)

Quiet entertainment for curious baby!
Bought his for my almost 10-month-old daughter after seeing it on a tiktok of a mom bringing it to a restaurant with her (I love quiet toys that keep our babies entertained while not disturbing others). So far, she loves it. The suction cups seem decently strong and the product itself is good quality, which I've come to expect with anything from Melissa & Doug.

Don't wait until 1 year!
I bought this for my 4 1/2 month old because she seemed to concentrate on part of her Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper, Blue that was a similar activity (moving the blue and yellow musical notes on the purple bar if you have it at home). The indications were for 1 year +, so I figured worst case scenario we would just put it away if she wasn't ready for it yet. Boy, am I glad we got the bead maze early! At 4 1/2 months, she would stick her tongue out while she focused on moving the beads. It took her a couple weeks before she could shift them from one side to the other, but she definitely hasn't mastered it yet (we've had it for 6 weeks) which makes me feel like this toy will maintain her interest for a while. The paint doesn't seem like it would chip, despite her scratching at it with her razor-like fingernails and the beads constantly banging against the wires. The colors are vibrant, and it's lightweight. It's the perfect size to attach to her Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat - Blue/Green/Gray before or after meals, or when she's joining us at the dinner table.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the suction cups... they are great 90% of the time, but it sometimes they don't stick where I want (the plastic tray of the booster) and I can't get it off of the surface where I don't want it (the dining table)! Not a big deal, and I don't think it can be improved, but it is noticeable. Would still recommend it and getting it earlier than later!Addendum 2/19/12: Daughter is now 10 1/2 months old. We put the bead maze away a couple months ago because she started gnawing on the wooden beads, enough that the wood and paint were being compromised. I know it's non-toxic paint, but we took it away (just like we did her other wooden puzzles and books that she chews). I read an idea from a parenting magazine where a dad said he put suction-cupped toys on the window. We put this and 2 other toys with suction cups on a window in her play room now that she's standing and walking... she loves them! She stands at the window and moves the beads on this toy, then goes to the next toy like she's on an assembly line... and doesn't chew on it anymore, even though she still tries to eat her books. So glad I read this (and wished I had come up with it myself...) so had to share!

Really sticks!
Suction cups work great on the high chair tray, unlike many toys we have. Well made and a great size for the high chair tray. Excellent purchase!
