DON'T put headphones on your child unless you want them to grow up with a microwaved cancerous brain. if you've got the bucks, one of those alesis air synths  

try your local thrift.

I have a 2 year old. Are you serious about getting a keyboard for a 1 year old? If so, I'd say keep it cheap as hell. It will get broken! Or at least removed from a usuable state.

Baby may not want a keyboard in 2 months, go CHEAP! I'm talkin' $30 casio. If she shows interest get her more, with time you'll know if it's worth investing. (And she'll be old enough to use it responsibly). Let her play with your gear when you're there, that'll help.

All that said, I've noticed drums are the best way to get kids into making music! That and playing good music around them ALL the time (but not SO LOUD).

Like XOXOS says, don't use headphones on a little kid. They don't like 'em on their head (as a rule) and they will cause nearfield hearing problems in growing ears.

Careful with baby's ears. Anything with a volume slider or knob is dangerous. And Cheddar...hope you didn't get her anything cheezy

well..it kinda depends whether she wants to go digital or analogue....

just make sure she gets to listen to lots of mozart the first few years of her life: this will make here a musical and happy child.

How 'bout Photek instead of Mozart? Hope I'm not doing something wrong.

my daughter used to play with my chroma polaris when she was about 1... lots of fun. she made some cool patches for me too   like this one that sounded like a whale song... we just went through the stereo though.
