Review: Well made learning toy - Beautifully boxed and packaged. Well made, educational toy. A little pricey, but there's a lot gone into designing and making. If I had anything negative to say at all it would be that the instructions are really for adults, far to complicated for a child to understand. Review: Best product for young kids - Our son loves sammy the robot. The first base was faulty but when I inquire about it, they send a new base without even asking questions. Thank you! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
