Remote fine. The more sound that is adjustable. Nevertheless, our babies are not fooled either allowed to hang off the couch and baby can take for our remote control. Either one lighter and baby no longer believes anything, yeah our remote does not make a sound or light. In summary very good TOY, nice melody, learn numbers, top design. But if we want a replacement remote for baby stops taking us ours, it would be better to buy a real remote just for him
