 Hard to squeeze!Mar 14, 2009
By Elle
My (very strong and big for her age) 10-month-old wants to make music so badly with her octopus but the legs don't toot so easily--it takes a strong (adult) hand to make music. Does anyone else have that problem or do we just have a dud? She's had this since birth and has just shown an interest in it in the past month or two. It's a big toy for an infant, heavy and not easily dragged around. I wish it responded to her squeezes. Again, she's got a strong grip but gets frustrated with it pretty fast.

 I love it!Apr 15, 2007
By elizabeth
I didn't realize the tentacles were horns when I purchased it-- I thought they were electric touch-sensors. I like the horns much more since batteries are not required and I know it will not break easily. My 4-month old son cannot squeeze the tentacles to make the noises (yet) but I'm having so much fun playing it for him! He loves the different textures and colors of the fabrics. I've already purchased two more for friends.

Octo-tastic!!Apr 13, 2007
By Red or dead Dad (to be)
"Gary"
My wife and I (yep a guy reviewing a kids toy!) bought this as a present for our 7 month old niece. She is absolutely hooked on it. Having a relatively short attention span with most toys, it was rewarding to see how much she likes it and how long it entertains her. Just squeezing the musical tentacles for her keeps her happy! The big doe eyes have her mesmerized as well. When she gets bored, learning to play tunes keeps the adults happy!!
Playing is easy, you get two color coded tunes on the label and with the help of a musical friend we know a lot more now.
With my wife 4 months pregnant, we have ordered another already.
Only reason for 4 stars is the one we bought had trouble playing the lowest note (red tentacle!).

Octotunes are Off-KeyMay 29, 2008
By R. S. Wenocur
We found Octy (he was so cute that we nicknamed him immediately) in a lovely toy shop and bought him for our new grandson, although the toy was not packaged and was a bit heavy. Within days, Octy's notes became off-key: either flat or sharp. Months later, we found a shelf of Octotunes toys, also with no wrapping or packaging, at another toy store, but each of them had at least one sour note! Finally, at a third shop, we exchanged Octy for Octy2. Within a week, all his notes became sour, too! We are quite disappointed, since we usually are pleased with LaMaze toys.

Adorable and well made, but doesn't work so well as intendedDec 11, 2011
By Teacup
I got this toy originally for my firstborn (now 4) and now my second (6 months) has been introduced to it, and neither kid has been too interested. Both kids initially liked the look of it (it's really cute, brightly colored and sturdy, and big for a baby) so they grabbed it, but it's too heavy for a baby to lift and the legs are too fat for tiny hands to squeeze. So after a few pats and pokes my babies grew bored of it and moved on. We also have a smaller octopus (Lamaze Octivity Time)that is light and has lots of different stimuli that's been much more successful, and is one of my daughter's favorites
