  "question": "Which baby musical toys can still be used as a child gets older?",
  "answer": "Hape Cal's Smart Sounds Symphony: It has three modes: Instrument, Color/Animal and Freestyle. The three play modes are intended to encourage cognitive development. Hape E12396 / 12396-000: Sources disagree on the minimum age: Hape specifies from 12 months, while DieBabyEcke describes suitability from 6 months. It has two guitar sound settings, acoustic and banjo, and can play pre-recorded tunes. Owners report it survives drops and throws and still looks new. Hape (co-branded Baby Einstein) E12933 / 12933-000: The toy is intended for children from 9 months to 4 years old (listed as 9 to 48 months). Play Mode uses the faucet and stove knobs, the four touch buttons and the oven door to trigger lights, kitchen sounds and music.",
