Zazu have changed the sensitivity of the voice activation to this soft toy and the voice activation will only work if I talk loudly into the control panel when it’s not inside the donkey or if the dogs bark, I am yet to hear it turn on when my baby is crying, even at full pelt when the control panel is inside the donkey. My friends don the donkey which is 2 years old is a lot more sensitive which is why I wanted to purchase Don but unfortunately zazu have changed it for the worse not the better. I know it’s not faulty as I purchased Dex the dog too which is exactly the same so it must be the updated control panel that they are using in the new version of these toys. I will definitely purchase from Eat Teeth Sleep again as I think they are brilliant and I love all the other items I purchased, Thankyou
