My son has this toy…..I think it’s hilarious and probably play with it more than he does. It’s too funny. As for it being loud….it’s no louder than some of the other toys out there. It’s extremely durable as we have laminate flooring and my son has tossed/dropped it several times. He’ll be two year old next week and he still has fun playing with this toy.

Well, after several months of leaving the batteries out of this toy (since even two layers of tape over the speakers didn’t muffle it enough, and I was going out of my mind at the repetitious nature of the recordings), I have just put the batteries back in. Result: my 16-month old is too entranced with his toy to be taking the ornaments off the Christmas tree anymore.
My son received this for his first birthday, and he took a little while to warm to it. It does teach cause and effect, in that children get immediate feedback to all the button-prodding and lever-moving that they do. (This might be very good for kids who, like my son, will not leave the DVD/computer/scanner/whatever buttons alone.)
It took a week or two for him to develop the hand-to-eye coordination needed to turn the “Ernie” key from side to side, but once he mastered it, he was doing it routinely.
Right now, he’s giggling non-stop at the Cookie Monster’s yum-yum-yum-yum behind me. . . and, since he just dropped it noisily on the hardwood floor, it’s safe to say that it’s durable.
The toy is entertaining, durable, and a decent distraction for the kid; however, it is LOUD, has no volume control, is repetitious to the point of being grating, and not very educational beyond cause and effect relationships.

This toy is EXTREMELY LOUD. It is really not suitable for children. Prolonged play will cause hearing loss. There’s really no educational value in this toy although it is a fun toy. It’s just not safe for kids. I threw mine, a gift, in the garbage can. There’s no way I would even donate it because I don’t want to hurt children who receive this poorly engineered toy secondhand.

My son is also a “melmo” fan and likes this driving toy. We started keeping it in the car and yes it’s loud but I’d rather hear it than him crying. He has a hard time turning the wheel though and that’s what makes Elmo talk. I see him holding the toy with his legs to turn the wheel. The other sounds are really easy to make and he presses the oscar and cookie monster and bert buttons continuously. We have used it quite a bit since Christmas and the batteries are going strong.
