My kids had a version of this toy, and I bought it for my grandson. He is now 19 months old, and has had it for more than 6 months, yet he plays with it often. I think it has helped with his coordination and reasoning skills. I try to keep the tv off when he is over, and this is one of the toys i depend on to keep his interest.
If you need a break from all of those baby toys that make lots of noise, this is a great choice.

You can buy every toy you want for your child; the best toys are always the easiest, cheapest, and simplest. Take the Rock-a-Stack; our child's favorite. We've got three of 'em: one for every relative. For the youngest, they're simple chew toys; for the oldest they're balancing rings, shaking noisemakers; and for the in-between they're a little of everything. Probably the most played with toy we've got. Only downside is the lack of homing device on the rings and their tendency to roll under the couch, causing automatic induction of fit.
Buy a few of them.

30.) Surprising Number of Ways to Play With This Toy
Reviewed by: Citizen John USA

My 9 month-old twins play with this toy in all kinds of ways. They're not at the point of stacking the disks/rings yet, but they do a lot of other things. For example, they throw the rings with the aim of trying to get them to roll on their side. Most of the time they don't succeed at that but sometimes they do, and then they might have to crawl to retrieve them. This is great for developing motor skills and it shows that they understand something of the concept of a wheel. They also get exercise.
We also play together with this toy in different ways. For example, I can sit across from a baby and throw a disk in her lap and then she throws it back in my lap and so on. We move onto different colors and sizes. They can do this at 9 months old and it's fun for them. They also trade the rings between each other and I can't say I understand what kind of game that is but they like it.
We clean the rings every night along with all the things we clean (there are so many). But these are easy to clean and this is a very durable toy.

First she learned how to take the rings off, then how to put them on, then wearing the rings like braclets, then taking the rings off by "dumping" the stack, then pretending to wear the base like a hat, playing peek-a-boo with the rings over your eyes, etc. Some people mentioned how they don't like how the pole is tapered so all the rings won't fit if placed on out-of-order, but I like that feature. . . I feel like she will learn eventually how to put them on in order. It was refreshing to have a toy without lights, sounds, and batteries and be just as entertaining (at least at this age.) It is cheaper to buy elsewhere, though.

They're good "Chew toys" and I fell they are safer since they are NOT made in China, my package said Made in Mexico. I'm not too concerned about BPA since it's not being ingested or heated, and I don't even know if there is BPA in this toy, usually it's the harder plastics that contain BPA.

When she was younger (9-12 months) my daughter was fascinated with taking the rings off of the tower, now that she's older (15 months) she likes to stack them on the tower and even tries to inter-change the colored rings with another similar stacking toy that she has.

Well, as it turned out i was wrong. Even though the Little Super Star Classical Stacker has lights and music,my daughter got bored with it in about a month. She did not learn the size order because she was too young to understand my explanations. And then my neighbour suggested to switch our stackers. And that is how we've got the Rock-A-Stack stacker. It has been 7 mos and my daughter is still very much interested in this toy. The cone shape forced her to figure out the sizes. When we just got it, she would put a ring on the post and shake her head if it was the wrong one or clap her hands if it was the correct one. Very cute! She also loves to wear them as bracelets.

This toy seems really simple, but children really seem to find new ways to play with it. At eight months my child just liked to feel the rings. At 12 months he began stacking them, albeit, incorrectly. Now he delights in showing us that he can stack them correctly and tells us when we haven't. My three year old niece enjoys tossing the rings into the plastic post. And thank goodness, no batteries required.

Well its overall a pretty good toy. My son was never interested in stacking with it though. The rings float in water though so I have been using them for bath toys. I think its a pretty good price and im glad that were getting some use out of it.

My 20 month old nephew is still getting use out of this toy. At first he liked to chew the rings, then he used them in his bath (they float at first), and most recently he has learned how to stack them. It's toys like this that make me wonder why I buy fancy, expensive toys that lie around unused. For the low price, you can't go wrong with this toy.

The price is terrific for this stacking toy that has been around for ages. When your baby or toddler begins to develop hand-eye coordination, this is the toy to stimulate him or her. Obviously, you should be near your baby to make sure she does eat the rings for breakfast. A little teething is OK. You can wash this toy in the dishwasher to get is almost sterilize clean. My son who is 3 liked this toy a lot. He did not love it, probably because it was not a car or truck, but we certainly got our moneys worth, time and again. Highly, highly recommended.

We ordered this for our daughter, who is now 8 months old. She didn't have much use for it for the first little while, other than chewing and drooling on the rings.
Now that she can sit for long periods of time and concentrate on one task, she has learned to take the rings off one at a time. We are working on getting them back on!
This product has been made for years and years (my parents said I had one and so did my husband's parents) and there's definitely a reason!

87.) My Baby Preferred the Simple Classic
Reviewed by: E. Yu

My 9 month old has been playing with this stacker since he was 6 months old. This is a simple, classic toy that's easy to clean in a sink full of soap and water. My son's teething so everything gets chewed on and drooled on. He has a a more expensive stacker with blinking lights and music that doesn't hold his interest for quite as long. The fancy stacker has star shaped "rings" that were heavier and harder for little hands to grip. I think the key to this Fisher Price Rock-A-Stack is the tapered shaft that allows for easy ring removal and the light weight rounded rings that's easy to grip. Also, the red ring with the silver interior is a rattle, which my son enjoys. The base has a curved bottom so the tower will rock before it topples. I guess that's why classics never go out of style.

* Stacking the rings builds fine motor skills
CONS:
* Kids can't tell that these aren't donuts until they have a mouthful of plastic

I started looking for one of these for my son when he was, I think, somewhere between six months and a year. And at that point they were nowhere to be had - maybe that was when they were changing the top ring from all red to half red, half clear with beads inside?
At any rate it was hard to find and I think the effort involved in tracking one down compared to how much my son actually used/liked it made it seem to fall a little flat.
If you can find one easily and if you can find one cheaply - why are the Fisher Price basics seeming to sell for twice their store price on this site??? - it's not a bad toy to get at all, especially for the 1 and under set.
My biggest complaint about this toy is it is NOT like it was when I was little. I remember it being taller and having more rings, and that's not just one of those memories where things seemed bigger because you were smaller. I have seen old ones - alas, not with all the rings present - and they were taller and clearly originally had more rings. There are gaps when all the rings aren't present, due to how the center tower gets bigger as you go down it so as to coax the child into stacking correctly - that's how I know it was supposed to have more rings.
In the end we got more play out of a Melissa and Doug wooden stacker. I think my son liked the bigger range of colors and the fact that it didn't force you to stack in any order, since the pole and the inner holes of the rings were all the same diameter.

I originally purchase the stacking toy because it was one of those I remember having as a child. So far my son likes to through the rings around and I'm not even sure where they all are at this time. Though it is great to have a toy that teaches children to stack based on size, it would be more appropriate for children under 2 to have a toy that allows stacking regardless of order.

My 7 month old son received this last month, and he loves to chew on it. I took the base away from him, because he was sticking the yellow part in his mouth, and I was concerned that he would hurt himself(by gagging himself, falling over with it in his mouth, etc). I truthfully do not feel that this toy is for a 6 month old (or 7 month old's for that matter). His only interest in this toy is to chew on it or to shake the top ring to make it rattle. I didn't expect him to do more than that with it when he received it, and I'm not sure at what age he'll be able to use the toy properly, but eventually I think it will be a good learning toy.

I bought this toy for my 6 1/2 month old. He is able to sit up on his own, however, like any other baby, he does fall over in all directions. So, when I gave him this toy to play with he was very amused by it and was thoroughly enjoying it, especially being able to CHEW the rings. Then I noticed that he could fit the yellow cylinder (attached to the base that you stack the rings onto) all the way into his mouth. So I was concerned for his safety that if he fell forward he could lodge it into his throat and obstruct his airway. I have contacted fisher-price and they are picking up the toy from my house for a full refund. I think you should not buy this for a baby that doesn't sit completely stable on his/her own, maybe not until 8 or 9 months old.

I called the fisher-price customer service line to ask if this product contained bisphenol-a (deemed toxic recently by Canada) and they refused to answer stating the content was a trade secret and spouting off a rehearsed line stating that the FDA had not found reason for concern about this type of plastic (in the two major studies conducted by them that were, surprise, funded by the plastics industry). I thanked them and bought something else, the Melissa and Doug stacker made of wood and lead-free paint. Fisher-price, shame on you for not being upfront about this. Get used to the question because American consumers are getting educated about this possible very dangerous plastic in our children's toys, baby bottles, Nalgene bottles and lining 95% of the canned food and soda we drink. If you aren't already aware of this danger, educate yourself and find out why Europe and Canada are removing it from food products and children's products.

I purchased the Rock-a-Stack for my 6 month old son on Friday April 3,2009. I came home to wash the product and soon realized the water I was washing it in was blue.

Who knows what type of paint Fisher-Price uses and even if they say it is non-toxic as parents I am sure we don't want our children getting the paint in their mouth. I scrubbed the blue ring for a couple of minutes and there is still dye coming off of the ring. I can't imagine if I gave this to my son, his clothes, skin, blankets, and our carpet would have been stained blue.
I called the 800 number for Fisher-Price and they did not seem the lease bit concerned. I have written more about our experience at : rock-a-stackbluering.blogspot.com

They try to put them on the pole in the wrong order which is just plain frustrating.
