I purchased this for my first born a few years ago, and now I'm about to have my 5th. My eldest is now only 4 1/2 (yes, a kid a year).... so this toy has had steady use. I don't even bother attaching it to the gymini anymore with my 12 mos. old (I only do so when baby can only lie on her/his back and kick...and eventually reach). Now, I just hand it to my youngest to play with, and he loves the soft chiming.
Over the years, I've become far more anti-plastic when it comes to the toys and I've weeded through many of the brightly colored, battery-operated junk we've been suckered into thinking we've 'needed' for our kids. This toy however, isn't annoying with the noise it makes and creates just the right distraction when changing a squirmy child's diaper. It can be tossed into the car, or hung from a gymini. We're hanging on to this one....for baby #5 to enjoy. If you have to get one gift for a friend....this would be a good one, along with some useful items like diapers, and extra onesies or side-snap t-shirts :)

These are the most beautiful sounding chimes! We attach them to our Tiny love Gymini Melody Maker gym and they are a nice change from the hanging musical box. Our son loves to kick these chimes and hear the music. Great addition to a playmay gym!

This is a great item. The chimes are soft and not too distracting. My daughter who is now 6 months old loves them and liked them from the time we got them almost two months ago. The only problem is they are a little big for the gym (Tiny Love Gymini Super Deluxe - Lights&Music)I bought to hang them.

This toy makes enough noise that my babies love it, but not enough noise that it becomes bothersome to adults. They spend hours batting the chimes and giggle when it makes a noise. Excellent toy

My favorite thing about this toy is that the windchimes are genuinely melodious to the adult ear, and not too harsh, or "tinny" sounding for a baby's ear (in my estimation). The sound is not too loud and not too soft - HOME RUN!

My daughter ADORED this toy. One reviewer mentions they were dissappointed with this because they did not realize it was "only" compatible with the Tiny Love (TL) play mats. This is true, insofar as the attachement clip is the same as what TL uses for all playmat toys.

However, I have a solution. We purchased this in conjunction with the Tiny Love Clip and Go Musical Mobile, which comes with the most ingenious "lobster" clip. We used that clip *everywhere* and with multiple toys, including these windchimes. Thus, the windchimes AND the mobile clip nicely to the hood of a bassinette, which is where our daughter would do her "kicks" every morning with these windchimes (she has very strong legs and abs at 8 months, which I predominantly attribute to use of this toy in this manner), and then lay quietly amused by the mobile. When she was about 5 months, she started grabbing the birds and the flower, learning to clutch.

Nevertheless, TL should include this "lobster" claw attachment clip with all sold-separately accessories such as the windchimes. This is the reason I gave this toy 4 stars, not five. It is otherwise perfect and fantastic. While you should not have to buy two toys to make one work optimally, BOTH the mobile and the windchimes are TOTALLY worth the money, and I highly recommend both as a perfect pair.

P.S. We have the Tiny Love ActiviTot - Tropic Isle play mat, and I should note that while the windchimes are compatible in their attachment point, they are too heavy for the arches of this gym. I do not know if they would be too heavy for all of the gyms. In this gym, the arches flop *partially* over under the weight of the chimes. While still usable by baby, it is certainly not optimal, as the chimes can be kicked, but not clutched when they are dragging on the ground/mat.
