Fisher Price Sing and Go Choo Choo

Our giraffe is the same and I don't think it's defective. I do agree with the other comment about the All Aboard song - it will make you crazy, but thankfully, there is a lower volume setting that helps a little. Our kids - 5, 3 & 9 Mos. - love all the animals. I think you're good to go!

My son also has this toy. Great toy, by the way, I learned all the songs, ha! But, no, that's not normal, our giraffe makes true rainstick noises and his legs (while somewhat floppier than the elephant) are sturdy enough for him to stand up on his own, and they definitely don't move without clicking noises. Good luck!

I looked at FP website and it led to Mattel. Here is a link to contact them and ask them. A toll free call will be faster than reading all the posts. I hope this helps.

Mine is the same, but heck, try to get a new one!

My daughter also received this for her first birthday a few months ago. I've examined the giraffe and you're right about the rainstick neck - there is probably only one bead in there, two at the most. That said, I never knew it was meant to be a rainstick, so I never noticed it before. (Guess I didn't really read the package!) I think you might have a problem with the legs. I can turn it upside down and the legs stay in position unless I either shake it or click them down. Hope this helps!

Send it back. All the legs should click and the neck too!

Excuse me while I go find the giraffe... :)

Okay. Ours is about 8 months old, but mostly not played with (my dad bought it for the girls for a visit to his place in CA 8 months ago, and he just shipped it to us to get it out of his way. :)

The giraffe's back legs are floppy as you described. The "rainstick" in the neck sounds like it only has one or two beads. So it sounds (to me) like yours is working as manufactured.

Now, if this isn't what you EXPECTED, you can certainly return it. But I wouldn't call it defective.

I agree with Jennie, I got mine used from a neighbor, the legs all click, and I didnt know about the rainstick leg either, LOL..it may have one or two...

Good luck, Fisher Price has ALWAYS been awesome about returning/exchanging stuff for me.

Give em a call!

We got our Fisher Price Amazing Animal Sing and Go Choo Choo in December for our son's first Christmas, and it is exactly as you described. The rainstick noises sound like 2 beads in the neck and it has floppy back legs. I don't think yours is defective and if it helps my son loves it plays with it almost everyday, the giraffes legs are easy to maniputlte for his strength, he just pushes down and the giraffe is then sitting. You may only want to send it back after you have heard the "ALL ABOARD" Sond a million times.

Crazy, but mine is the same way. My Sis got my son's at Target brand new out of the box. Or maybe we got the defects? :) Have a Great Weekend.
