It’s a carnival of encouragement, with a musical ferris wheel that rewards baby for kicking, reaching, sitting, grasping and playing! Overhead gym easily converts to a sit-up and play centre as baby grows. Both are packed full of fun, with a ball drop activity station, dancing lights, five minutes of lively music, spinners, ball ramps and more! Five colourful balls are included.
Like all Baby Playzone™ toys, the Kick & Whirl Carnival™ encourages and rewards baby’s physical accomplishments with exciting activities that make baby want to try …and try again! Requires 3 “C” alkaline batteries (not included).

Cons:
Very big and bulky, repetitive and easy to loose balls etc. The kick part often didn't work.
Overall:
We were given this toy as a gift. It has been around for 2 kids from early ages and both were not overly interested in the toy. It is also very big and bulky so it takes up a lot of space in the toy room. We also find that it is very easy to loose the balls as when the child gets a little older they enjoy taking them off etc. The kick part often didn't register and this toy is also very repetitive and if you forget to turn it off and bump into it and can scare you half to death, especially in the middle of the night. It is also quite an expensive toy. Overall I would not recommend purchasing this toy. There are many other toys at this price range that will provide much more enjoyment for both child and parent!!
Pros:
My 5mth old is alot more developed with foot/eye co-ordination than other babies his age- He loves kicking the toys and watching it light up. It transfers into a toddler toy later with balls that go down the ramps etc. It has a few different tunes, so you dont get stuck listening to the same old annoying tune over and over again. Its wide enough, so baby isnt restricted to it and can roll away when he gets bored. Infact , i have put 2 babys in there.
Cons:
I know that the retail price is pretty expesnive, but i bought mine 2nd hand off ebay. It is in great condition. It is a pain to dismantle and set up etc.
Overall:
This has been a Godsend from Ebay. My baby has played with this since he was about 2.5months old. He has great co-ordination and even turns his whole body around so his head is under it and he hits the toys instead of kicking. It gives baby an exciting alternative to ordinary play gyms.
Cons:
This toy was hugely bulky with very noisy carnival style music. Music was far too loud - it scared my little girl
Overall:
We really didn't use this toy much. We prefer toys that do not have batteries and lots of lights and music. This was just too loud, too noisy and bright. It frightened my baby and took up a lot of room in my lounge room. It was quite durable and seemed to be reasinable quality. We were always losing the balls in the sitting up mode. The kicking part did not always register my baby's kicks so this was frustrating. It was an ok toy but there are better ones out there
