Heard about Virtuoso Bears from a friend. I was tired of getting my little one toys that only play kids music, and wanted to see if there were toys out there that had music that both baby and myself can enjoy.Happy to say that I'm pretty glad with my purchase! I wanted to play it for my baby right away, but it didn't came with batteries. It was easily solved though - with a whip of a small screw driver, pop of a battery and we were ready to go! At first I was surprised that it required a screw driver to open the battery cover, but I discovered after a while of using that it was a good feature to have, especially since most battery covers easily come off and allow greasy fingers and tiny exploratory mouths to get access to the batteries. Not happening!The material of the plush is soft and cuddly, the audio device well hidden in the back of the plush, sealed away behind a strip of velcro.Music is pleasant and sound quality is good. Baby seems to calm down easier when it is playing! Will update feedback as my little one (and I) dabble with it more.
