First, the obligatory 'how to fix this loud toy' thing- just put some Scotch tape over the speaker. Bam, problem solved. Otherwise, this is a fantastic music toy for any child that loves the Backyardigans or just loves grooving to music. What's really great about this toy is that the songs are all from the show- not some generic songs or something that sounds like it belongs in another show. You're getting 5 different styles of music here, each one having two different tracks, and each one tells you what style of music you're listening to. I marked the educational value rating up a little just for this, because most music toys don't say what style it is, or make an effort to set them apart. Each track plays for a good amount of time- not too long to the point where it'll drive you crazy.
There's also a microphone that barely works. It has to be pretty much right against your mouth to pick up anything, and more than likely it'll sound fuzzy when it comes out of the speaker. It's kind of an add-on feature to this toy since it's mostly a toy stereo and has 5 different songs, but I guess it's something extra your kids can play with.
The Music Maker also get some crazy battery life, even on the ones that come with it. We didn't have to change the batteries for over 8 months, and my daughter played with this sucker on a regular basis. And if you have kids that love to throw or drop everything, the Music Maker can handle damage without a problem. Ours got smashed by heavy toys and kept playing just fine.
Of all the music toys I've seen over the last 2 years, this one still seems to be the best for your buck (provided you get it at around what it originally cost). There are a ton of toys like this that play the music until you physically turn it off, and it's just one track looped over and over. Luckily, this isn't one of those. If you're looking for a good music toy with a good shelf life, look no further than this little beauty.

My son LOVES the Backyardigans, so this toy is a big hit at our house!
Easy to use, and tote around. Cute tunes that your toddler will recognize from watching the show. And the microphone on the side will let them sing along with their favorite songs. If your little likes the Backyardigans, they'll love this toy.

I bought this for my 2 year old daughter. She loves it. Its a little hard talking on the mic but enough for my daughter to hear herself and not be heard around in other rooms. The only thing I would change on this product is making microphone cord a little longer. Otherwise, its a great gift.

This thing is soooo annoying! Why is there no volume control?!?! It's just loud and LOUD... seriously! I love the backyardigans but really? It even hurts my son's ears-- does it really need to be this loud? It's not like the kids can go very far from it with the tiny little cord that's attached to the microphone! It's not a very well thought out toy (sad to say) had hoped it would be a favorite... but we just keep it turned off ALL THE TIME

This toy is awesome! I am a foster parent, and, as a result, this toy has fallen into many little hands. I have two little ones that constantly fight over this. They are one and two. My house is bursting at the seams with toys, but this is currently my two-year-old's favorite toy. He calls it Tasha...how cute is that?
Anyway, today, we had a catastrophe...it stopped playing. I am pretty sure that it took one drop too many. I am here to purchase two more so the kids will quit fighting.
Let me address a few issues: 1) the volume...if you have little ones, I don't know how you can complain. The volume is NOT excessively loud at all. 2)the microphone cord is too short in my opinion, but at least I don't worry about them wrapping it around their necks. 3) The songs are cute; the toy, like the show, introduces the kids to music genres they may not normally learn about.
If your kids are fans of the show, get this toy.
