Editorial Review

Simply put the Move ‘n Groove Dance Mat on the floor and let your child dance the day away. The keyboard makes six different notes, the instrument icons play various tunes, and when the picture of Barney is stepped on, he will issue instructions to step on the blue footprint, step on the red footprint, etc., and even congratulate the child when she steps on the correct spot. The furry, inflatable Barney figure spins around when music plays, an effect that would be better if he didn't tilt weirdly to one side. Nonetheless, Barney is still a nice bonus with this mat since, being removable, he is a fun toy in his own right. True, the combinations of things you can do may be limited, but the physical and interactive qualities of this toy are a big plus. --David Stoesz ... Read more

Barney Dance Mat, not so Super Duper
The Barney doll is a blow-up doll and does not stand up properly on the stand even when it is at filled at capacity with air. It just turned out to be a big noise-making mat that our toddler dances on.

Fun, but Barney Deflates
We may have purchased a defective one then because Barney will either deflate while trying to spin or he will come out the base (I even tried to double-tape the bottom of his feet to the base, but that didn't work either). My 2 year old loved this toy, but since Barney doesn't stay put (or deflated), it made her upset, so we ended up throwing it out. I didn't realize that not everyone had this problem (from the other reviews I have read). Maybe, we just purchased a "bad" one or something.

Great toy for a two year old who likes to dance!
My 18 mnth old loves this toy. She loves to dance with him even though she can't understand the steps yet. She especially loves to pick Barney up and run off with him! It's one of her favorite toys and my 6 mos old laughs when he hears Barney talk. He thinks it's really cool that Barney is in our house. (:

Don't understand all the bad reviews!
My 2 year old just received this toy yesterday and she and my 3 year old can't stop fighting over it!! They both just love it. The people who complained about blowing it up must have never blown up a beach ball before!!! It took me maybe 5 or 6 breaths to inflate it. And after hours of play.........Barney's still standing. This is the first toy review I've written and the only reason I wrote it is because I strongly disagree with all the poor reviews. It may not be the most educational toy but it's great exercise for the kids!!! ... Read more

The perfect Barney toy
My daughter is 18 mo. old. She is just starting to really love Barney. SHE picked this toy out, herself. It's very plush and cute. When Barney sings his song and says "a kiss from me to you", she kisses Barney. I didn't even know that there was a velcro closing in the back for the batteries, so therefore, it must not be so bad. I recommend this toy to every parent that has a child who loves Barney.

Just another singing/talking toy
These are cute and fun and my daughter loves Barney and loves the Barney song. She plays with this every once in awhile but this is by no means one of those must-have toys.

Wonderful!
I bought Barney for my two month old. She loves him. This toy has helped sing baby to sleep plenty of times. She already loves to hold him tight! He goes where "we" go..and she loves to hold on to him when we go for rides.

We love anything barney!!
THis is the perfect size barney. It is cute as could be. The sound did not last through the wash. It had to be put through! It is still a favorite though. I have found cheaper in other stores. Shop around.

LOVELY TOY
I bought this toy for my 6 month old daughter on Dec 4, 2003 and when it arrived she was totally thrilled.
I would press the heart and let it sing her to sleep.
Barney is adorable. ... Read more

Great buy for the price
Just bought this for my 2 yr old daughter and she loves it. I have been teaching her manners, and this just reiterates my efforts. I can often overhear her saying "please" and "thank you" as she's playing with the register. She enjoys opening and closing the register, playing with the money, and especially the fun noise it makes when sliding the credit cards in the designated slot. Great with learning numbers too. My only complaint would be that the register where the money is held is too small. Other than that, great buy for the money! ... Read more

ww
this item is not that good, the material that it is made from is not that good after one time of use you feel that it is very old. I do not like it atall in addition it is expensive

not great material for a bath!
I purchased this for my son who loves Barney. It's a great idea, but the material is not suitable for water. It's almost like taking a real stuffed animal in the tub...I didn't see any difference in stuffing. It's almost impossible to wring the water out. Anyhow, it's a toy and my son loves Barney! ...
