My son received this toy around 5 months immediately he loved to chew and play with this toy. He's now 11 months old and its still one of his absolute favorites. We've bought other Vtech toys but none have keep his attention for as long as this one. I think its due to the fact that not only does it light up and play music and teach lessons about the kitchen, but its one of the few Vtech toys that has pieces for him to pull out and actually play with. He still hasn't figured out how to put the shapes in the holes or pull down the dishwasher door on his own, so I know this toy will keep his interest for more months to come, as he continues to explore. The only down side to the toy is its easy to flip it over, but it really isn't too much of an issue since he loves to explore and play with toys in different ways, we just make sure to lean it up against the wall and he usually plays nice with it. I would highly recommend this toy if your baby loves to chew on and hit things.

Our daughter really loved this little kitchen. She got this for her first birthday and would play with it for VERY long periods of time. Normally if she plays with something for longer than 5-10 minutes, its a miracle. She is a really, really busy girl. She paid with this for over 30 minutes at a time sometimes. She played with it for several minutes every day until she was about 16 months old. That's a long time in our house.Its not very big, but there are a ton of things to do and it plays lots of songs. The voice is a little annoying but the music isn't too bad. All the parts and pieces are fun to play with. My daughter loved the shape sorter and stirring the bowl. I think it helped her learn to grip her flatware and use spoons and forks to pick up food to eat with. The shape sorter also helps with motor skills and learning shapes.
The toy is very durable, she's picked it up and dropped it many times and thrown the pieces all around, chewed on them a bit too. Everything still looks brand new.
Its easy to clean the small parts with soap and water, the electronic bits can be wiped down with a Lysol wipe and are good to go!

My son first played with this at a friend's first birthday party when he was about 8 months old. He loved it! I didn't think much of it until we saw it at a store. He gravitated to it and couldn't stop playing with it even when we were waiting in line to pay for it. He plays with it ALL the time. We got it when he was about 10 months old, and he is now 18 months old. He still plays with it more than his bigger kitchen that he got for Christmas. He loves sorting the shapes and pressing all the buttons. He figured out pretty quickly where all the sound trigger tabs were for the pot and the shape sorter. He also likes to bring us "soup" in the spoon to taste. I would definitely buy this again and have recommended it to other moms.Want VTech - Lil' Baker Smart Kitchen Discount?
My mother-in-law got this for my son when he was 18 months old. I thought it was really cute, especially for him to play in the kitchen with while I am cooking. However, the first one stopped working after not even a day. He hadn't really been rough with it all. I changed the batteries to see if that would help, but it didn't. Luckily, she had purchased it at Walmart and they exchanged it no problem.However, we had this one for a couple of months and it stopped working too. I don't know what the deal is. Could I have gotten two lemons? It's possible but not likely. Again, I changed the batteries and it still didn't work. (I tried two sets of brand new batteries to make sure I wasn't crazy.)So as my four year old said, "We'll just have to pretend with now." Yep.
The little pieces with it were often scattered around the house but I think it could have been a cute toy. I haven't seen any other complaints about this by anyone else but for two to do the same thing, makes me think it's not an operator error. We have SO many toys that we don't have any problems with. Anyways, purchase with caution and keep the box and your receipt!!
