The best part is this toy is fun even when you turn off the switch. My little one smacks it, rolls and crawls with it all the things she'd normally do with it when its all lit up and playing the music. So if you want quiet time, less music, this toy work great. It is light enough so even if she lifts and somehow bummps her head to it, doesn't get much hurt. btw, the music is soft too, not very loud and noisy!
