I bought this toy after reading the reviews. He has dropped it a few times outside on the sidewalk and it has a couple scratches from that, but still works perfectly. There is a space for one, however.
He absolutely loves this phone. It is a little loud if you put the speaker right up to your ear, but my son holds it too low on his ear to do that. My 18-month-old son loves to play with cell phones so we thought we'd get him one of his own.
It is plenty loud for my son to hear while we are driving in the car or just at home. I read about the "volume issues" it seems to have, but we bought this phone at a department store, took it home and took it out of the box, and the volume did not change at all. There was no plastic tab in the back of the phone at all.
He will play with it for a long time and loves to hear the voice say "hello." and "it's for you." He'll try to talk back to the phone and can recognize the numbers on the screen. Definitely a good buy for us.
I will give it 2 stars because it is fun, and my son seems to enjoy it. It hurt my ears, i can't imagine what it will do to his.
This toy is way too loud. I have the opposite problem of what a lot of other reviewers mentioned.
I have pressed the buttons and held it up to my ear, and it is extremely loud. For now it is ok, because my son is too young to know to put it up to his ear.
But once he learns this, i will have to take the phone away from him. I really don't want my child to go deaf from a toy.
But again, we will not be able to use it for much longer.
My son likes this toy, but i don't think he thinks its much like a real phone. It would be better if you could record your own voice for your baby to talk to. But, the one thing about this phone that bugs me the most is that it says I love you, which is just creepy coming from a toy.
Otherwise, it doesn't sing the whole alphabet song which I would love for any child to learn. Though, I do wish the tunes are much longer. I bought this toy for my one and a half year old nephew and he seems to love it.for a short period. It's definitely durable and will not break if you drop it. When you press the tune button (the 3rd button on top), the tune is super short and he would have to keep pressing it which loses a child's patience after a short while. It does teach you the alphabet by saying each letter only when you press that specific letter on the phone. my nephew loves playing with adult's cell phones so I thought this will keep him interested, but he wasn't really. Go for something that can really teach you the alphabet and play longer tunes.
A voice says "1-2-3." It isn't close enough to a real cell or house phone to encourage phone play; beyond the robot voice saying counting or saying abc's in threes, depending on which # you press, it's not much of an educational toy either. She's 10 months now and is bored with it. Baby could take it or leave it when she got it at 6 months. And the songs in the music mode are too short. Kind of a frenetic little toy that doesn't do much beyond lighting up and flashing. Push buttons, get noise. Just a bar or two of melody. I'd skip this one.
