My daughter has it and loves it.
You laugh, but I actually did it. Twice. I got this thing When my nephew turned three, and this monster when he turned five.
He's turning 7 next month. Not sure if I should spring the next one now, or wait until the early teenage years.
You don't want a bass guitar. I'm thinking you should try something a bit more your speed, maybe this?

Terrible triggers, plastic heads with practically no rebound, terrible onboard practice songs. Not even a kick drum. 3/10.
This crazy thing.
[More than that for 20 bucks. It's not unbelievable at all.] (https://www.amazon.com/iPlay-iLearn-Instruments-Percussion-Tambourine/dp/B07MDYBGB2/ref=mp_s_a_1_23_sspa?adgrpid=56361972219&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3uboBRDCARIsAO2XcYDw_bawed36XfoJiUrzdjsDfCucNYjGeK87Iie12xTR3BpIUm9v6QQaAlAUEALw_wcB&hvadid=274673227611&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9028071&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=5936235510114192386&hvtargid=aud-649564993678%3Akwd-296756139830&hydadcr=26681_9481159&keywords=childrens+instrument+set&qid=1561988130&s=gateway&sr=8-23-spons&psc=1)

In tune, but you don't get get the high C. You can try your local music store, many have some instruments aimed at kids that sound better than most toys you find at Toys R Us or Target.
I ordered this and it just arrived today!

I envision myself going into my front yard and using the little mallet to ring the chime like I'm a yoga instructor signaling that class has started, and all the squirrels will come hopping over and I'll be like "a walnut for you, namaste 🙏🏼", and my neighbors will be peering from their windows like "...the fuck is she doing?"
I used to rock this fuckin puppy. Do I count?
Found this one on Amazon. :)
I've taken a lot of 2 year olds to Disneyland. Usually they're pretty bored, overwhelmed, not that into it. Disneyland is for older kids. Too many lines!
My suggestion, get her the most annoying and loud toy you can find. There's these electronic drum sets that light up. Toddlers LOVE them. These toys are torture. Get that! worst toy ever
PS. Kids under 3 get into Disneyland free.
Forgot to mention, for his 2nd birthday I got him these two items:
Drum Set
Piano
He loves them!
In the mornings when we get ready he will take a break and go play some music and dance around.

I feel bad getting rid of toys that my kids like because I remember how it felt when my mom would do it to me (and most of mine didn't even make noise), but this thing was making me insane. That guitar actually doesn't seem so bad, at least compared to the keyboard anyway. One that is really bad, however, is this Mickey drum set that my daughter loves. It's not so bad when it's in use, but it goes through a long, annoying intro every time you turn it on, so of course she has to turn it off and on repeatedly. When I bought it, I thought that was just part of the demo mode, but I was so very wrong. I only continue to keep it around as punishment for myself.

In terms of toys we've actually spend money on, we've gotten more mileage out of a set of baby Einstein rattle balls than anything else. And if you've got a noise maker on your hands, for the love of all that is good do yourself a favor and buy a tuned glockenspeil
Applique'd hand towels are great for different textures. Linking rings, too.
And for a big ticket item, we love our wood walker wagon- most importantly it's sturdy enough for a toddler to climb on and sit in, not to mention drive across the house at alarming speed.
I wanted a bigger discussion than just Behringer's ethics. ethics deserves a much broader discussion than just them. In the interests of complete transparency, my title is clickbait. we have been talking a lot about value and price recently, and there's a lot of good discussions to be had around it. I wanted to create one around how manufacturers aren't "ripping us off" with high prices as some people have put it, but rather actually deserve a profit, and a good quality of life that comes with it. This being a capitalist society, profit is the way a business creates that. I favor other mechanisms for creating a good quality of life for people (psychedelic anarchosocialism, plus robots), but they are really just illustrative, and pretty farfetched. I find it makes conversation more entertaining for everyone to bring in farfetched ideas as a counterpoint to the main melody.
I mean no disrespect to Audiothingies. I chose to feature them for this discussion because I honestly feel like I should have paid more. I'm sure they did intensive research on how to price it, and of course they have far better data than I have (as I said, all I have is my pineal gland). But they didn't take me into account, and I'd have been willing to pay more for this item specifically. So their information isn't perfect, and my personal feeling is that it is underpriced for the value it delivers. I really prefer "pay what you want" pricing, with whatever minimum the manufacturer feels is fair. then whoever feels they'd like to pay more just to be supporting the manufacturer, can.
It's a good point about France. I could have made this post about the Blofeld as well, but they are in Germany so also not likely to become medical slaves. Hmm... ok, howabout the Thunder Tube? I have had about 10x more fun with this thing than the price implies.
Overall, this post is just another attempt by some dude on the sub to try and get people to stop claiming "price gouging", which happens with every instrument that is more than $500, and which shows that the sub clearly needs posts like this one: points of view that nullify those claims. In this case, by asking people to think about the ethics of the whole process and not just in selfish terms. But there's lots of other approaches that can be taken, and have.
Consider it a magickal act of undoing. we have a rule against price shaming, but the energy is still there.
I love [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Table-Top-Games-Desktop-Drum/dp/B00O3NKLHC/ref=sr_1_84?ie=UTF8&qid=1491013899&sr=8-84&keywords=desk+toy).
Our two presents were a basketball/soccer goal and musical instrument set. Both still get almost daily use 5 months later.
Somebody get that child a [drum set] (https://www.amazon.com/VTech-KidiBeats-Kids-Drum-Set/dp/B007XVYSDE)
Some more fun things I found that others might be interested in:

Congratulations!
Because sometimes we just need a little rainbow zylophone in our lives.
