The Tambota Toddler Stacking Toy has some fun features, including lights, songs, and a removable rabbit head that children can press to hear phrases and sing-along songs. It has a fun, tuneful sound, and the rings are easy to grasp, play with, and stack. Babies will enjoy shaking and stacking the rings, and removing the rabbit head will reveal five different modes and 30 songs, with lyrics in English, Chinese, and Mandarin. The rings are bright and well made, and there's a button on the base that children can press to cycle through the songs and modes. Unfortunately, the volume isn't adjustable, so the volume isn't suitable for every setting, and the rattles on the rings aren't loud enough to be particularly engaging. However, the toy's bright, cheerful design will keep kids entertained and it's a good buy for infants and toddlers.
