Hasbro Toys #1 Reviews site

Ignore all the bad reviews. The toy has a switch in the back by the batteries. When you receive the toy it is in demo mode- loud as it is intended to be heard over the noise of screaming children in a store. Take it out of demo mode into play for quieter play or turn it to glow only for quiet crib play. It is clearly an improvement over the old model as it is easy to squeeze and you have the option of music!

I bought this toy for my one year old niece. We were looking for toys to help her learn to comfort herself and go back to sleep on her own. We were hoping for a toy that played soft, soothing music and gently glowed. However, that is not what this toy does. The "songs" are so loud they can be heard over all noise in a busy room (tv, talking, ringing phone, etc.) and in a quiet room it was so loud the noise made ME jump. Also, the toy is very heavy and the hard plastic center that houses the music device can be felt easily through the padding. My glowworm did not come with a book, either, even though the picture indicated it did. I have written Hasbro about the quality of this product and I hope that if you want a nap time or bedtime toy for your child you will buy the vintage version instead. Some things don't need "improving".

I've been reading people's reviews of this toy, and a lot of people don't seem to realize that there is a switch on the inside of it... When you take it home, it is in DEMO mode.. which is why it only plays the first part of the song, and also why it is so loud. Switch it to PLAY mode and it will not only be quieter, but will also play the whole song. You can also switch it to glow only. I hope this review helps. My 2 year old son loves his gloworm!
