All in all a very successful toy designed for baby's and toddler age. The dice can be easily grasped, for example. the protruding ears of the animals and is also very light and yet stable. The material is well made and the sounds are very quiet. An example: In the car I do not hear it when my child plays in the back seat with it! Holding the cube directly to the ears it is not too noisy. The criticism concerning. The volume I can not understand here. Probably some parents are annoyed after a short time of the sounds - who can not stand this, should just take up music free toys.
Yes, unfortunately the cover is not removable and washable. Although this is a minor drawback, but we did not bother. The batteries are almost in the middle, and around it is much foam. The cube can be in an emergency really wet wipe and the heating is then dried quickly.
As a gift, the cube makes sure very good, we do not regret having bought the cube.
