User questions & answers

Question:	What are the balls made of - plastic? wood
Answer:	You can purchase a replacement set (Current price $10 (Prime) here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M04YTFG I actually found that the balls which fit my twin nephews' other ball drop toys fit this toy. I purchased these for them and they LOVE that they shake and add an extra dimension to the noise of this toy. The only drawback is that these don't have "green" and they are plastic. Currently they are $8 (Prime) for a set of extras. They do hold up very well though considering the twins fight over them constantly and bang them around with the hammer and any other toy they can find. I don't advise smashing them hard though and always supervise play. https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Activity-Balls-Replacements-Action/dp/B01JDZYXGY/
Question:	how can I purchase extra balls
Answer:	Under product description, China is listed as the country of origin. For the price, these are certainly not made in Switzerland.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Yes! My child put one of the balls in her mouth at 10 months. We had to take it away. Now we just let her play with the xylophone and hammer part.
Question:	Will the balls fit insdie the mouth of a 15 month old child
Answer:	Correct. The whole frame is wood. The keys would have to be metal.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you clean it without damaging the wood
Answer:	We recommend cleaning to be done with a soft damp cloth using a mild soap. Use of bleach or harsh chemicals can damage the finish or paint. Do not immerse wooden parts in water.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Founded in 1986 by Peter Handstein along with his sister Sabine and close friend, Renate Gies, Hape Kindergarten Supply was dedicated to providing German educators with educational playthings for their little ones. The company quickly grew and in 1987, Peter moved the company's production to Ningbo, China. Once in China, Peter built his own innovative factory where he could embrace ecological, technological, and efficiency practices. Intrigued by the beautiful bamboo plants surrounding Peter’s new home, Hape began to experiment with this highly renewable resource. Soon after, Hape Toys became the first company to offer a full line of bamboo toys in 2005. Bamboo is an eco-friendly alternative to wood that can be grown quickly without the use of pesticides. Bamboo plants also absorb more carbon and produce more oxygen than trees. Today, Hape Toys creates safe and innovative products while working with local communities in Ningbo, China to build schools and educate the population about social and ecological responsibility. From humble beginnings, Hape Toys is now one of the largest producers of toys made from sustainable materials in the world! All of Hape's toys fully comply with the strict European EN71 safety standard.

Answer:	Thank you for contacting Hape regarding your product inquiry. All of our items are BPA, phthalate, PVC free. All paints and varnishes used by Hape are water based and non-toxic, they do not contain any hazardous materials such as lead or heavy metals.

User questions & answers

Question:	I ordered this as a gift and there is a missing part. Who do i contact for that
Answer:	I would start with whoever you purchased the item.
Question:	Does the steering handle turn the wheels or are the wheels stationary
Answer:	The steering handle turns the front wheels. BTW. My grandson at 18 months was too small for it. Now he's 20 months and rides it around the apartment all day.
Question:	What are the exact dimensions
Answer:	It’s small enough for one year old. About 14 inches on the seat.
Question:	Could the front and back wheel bases be swapped so the wider base is in the front, thereby avoiding running over tots' feet
Answer:	I haven't tried that but i'm pretty sure you can do it. However, I am not that sure that the scooter would be as stable as it is in its original configuration. Personally, I don't like the design of this scooter and I wouldn't reccomend it for 2 reasons: one is what you already expressed (the baby's feet get trapped under the back wheels), the second one is the very very poor built quality. I had to return 3 scooters before finding one whose handle was not so horribly misaligned with the body of the scooter (i.e., handle did not form a 90 degree angle with the main axis of the scooter).

Question:	Is it just my cube or do the bees in the hive side only roll around the outside because they get stuck on the screw in the center

Question:	is this product build or we need to build
Answer:	Ours came in 3 pieces. The top of the cube (green board with wire maze), the rest of the cube, and a divider that goes inside the cube that keeps the shapes from getting stuck inside. Super simple to assemble, the wire maze was packaged upside down inside the cube, pull that out and then insert the divider in the slots, then screw the top wire maze with the screws in the pre-drilled holes.
Question:	Will this tip up if a baby tries to pull themself up on it? Can you access inside to weight it down (with books or something) to stop it tipping
Answer:	Tipping has not been an issue but you can weigh it down on the inside if it's a concern. He loves to play with it, but watch them with the hammer! This was a great purchase.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	My daughter was 1.5 years old when we were playing with them and I took all the colored parts off. I turned my back for a second and next thing I know, they are all on. I scratched my head because I had never seen her do it before so I wasn't sure if I just forgot I put them on. I tested her again and she put those things right on. Taking them off is a bit harder for her. I'm suspicious she may be above average or has the memory of an elephant. The problem I have with this is that some of the pieces don't fit properly over the spools. The holes are too small and it takes 100 lbs of pressure to get them on and off. I think I got a lemon because I gifted these and there wasn't a problem with those ones.
Question:	Can the wood handle chewing
Answer:	It is made in China.

User questions & answers

Question:	How big are the balls? I'd like to get some softer (re: less destructive) balls to use w/ it until he is old enough to know not to throw them inside
Answer:	The balls are about one and a half inches in diameter. This is a wonderful toy. My granddaughter loves it. She doesn't throw the balls around, but then she is a girl. It does take the harder ball to ring the bell at the bottom.
Question:	Do the balls fit through a toilet paper tube
Answer:	No, the balls are a little larger. My granddaughter at 18 months loved this. She was very excited and still plays with it. It does have a tendency to tip sometimes, but then that is another cause and effect skill.
Question:	Where is this toy made
Answer:	Switzerland as all shapes are I believe
Question:	Does anyone know where I can get replacement balls? My son is obsessed with this toy but all of the balls have vanished
Answer:	We bought the set sold by Hape on Amazon, but they are smaller balls than what came with the Roller Derby (if you have the pound toy they are that size). They sometimes work on the roller derby, but often don't.
