SmartVille Ice Cream Color Shoppe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my niece for Christmas. She's 21 mos. old (almost 2) and it was the first thing she wanted to play with. My sister says she LOVES it and I saw her playing with it at home, 3 weeks after Christmas as well. The pieces are just the right size for little hands and there is enough to do without "electronic overload." Just a very nice toy.

VTech Licensed Learning Disney Princess Magic Wand Laptop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased as Christmas gift for 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. Liked the fact that the keyboard is a standard QWERTY type rather than the ABC type that most had. Wish the screen was a little bigger, but she thoroughly enjoys playing with it.

VTech Infant Learning Skippy the Smart Pup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 1 year old just received this toy for his birthday and after we've played with it for an hour now I'm perplexed to see all the negative reviews. The dog does a pretty good job of finding and following his bone. I could see how on carpeting or non-open spaces it might not do so well, but I'm wondering what everyone is comparing this to? By the way everyone is talking they've all got I, Robot units sitting at home serving them martinis. When I was a kid we had Teddy Ruckspin, so this is basically a miracle. There was some comedian who talked about people who complain about lack of wifi on flights. All he would say to them is "You're flying through the air at hundreds of miles per hour- something that nobody else in the history of humanity has been able to do. It's a miracle of engineering, and you're complaining you can't check facebook while doing it?" Anyway, for $[...] I think it's a pretty fun, functional toy. To the detractors, I challenge any of you to explain how any element of this toy actually works.

VTech Grade School Learning Nitro Web Notebook (Colors May Vary) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A few things to know before you buy: 1. The screen is tiny, which may not bother your child, but you will not have an easy time learning how to use it yourself. Which brings me to... 2. It is not easy to use, don't expect your child to figure it out on their own! 3. The graphics are terrible, which, in addition to the tiny screen display makes learning to use it that much harder. 4. No color! 5. No backlight on the screen, at all! Because of all of this... #6. My daughter (5yrs + 4mo old) had not intrest in this toy at all. She is very bright and knows how to use our personal computer, that may be why this was so dissapointing to her. We are sending it back and she is not upset at all! There are many, much better products out there for learning games. Don't waste your money on this one! I should have just bought her a learning game for our computer, and that is probably what I will do to replace this gift for her.

VTech Infant Learning Light-up Learning Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This toy camera was a gift, and as it looked pretty cool, we decided to save it for a big car trip that we were taking our 9 month old daughter on. She was delighted when we gave the camera to her, and played with it for hours. We decided to leave this toy in the car, as we like for her to be entertained while we are on the road. She absolutely adores this camera. And one of the best things about it is the variety of songs and sounds it has. My wife and I find ourselves singing those goofy songs from time to time. Recently, we lost this camera, and we are currently ordering another one. When you consider how much some toys are and how monotonous and repetitious sounding they are, this camera is a no-brainer.

1-2-3 Treehouse - V.Smile SmartVille Imaginative Play Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My one year old son does play with this toy, but it annoys me. The shape sorter holes are vertical and it is awkward for him to fit the shapes in. We typically turn the treehouse on its back to play with the shape sorter or he removes sorter piece altogether from the base. Every time the treehouse moves, the swing moves, so you constantly hear "up & down, up & down." It comes with 8 animals. My son definitely loves the animals, however he thinks the owl looks like a chicken and the goose is a duck (very hard to tell the difference). The toy attempts to be interactive by asking you to find the "skunk," for instance. I finally figured out how to answer it. You must gently place the animal in one of the two bases. If you press down, while placing it into the base, it will give you other information about that animal (I have a stripe or I like to be smelly). There is a hopscotch keypad with the numbers 1 through 10 on the colorful buttons. The toy asks what your favorite number is. I have yet to figure out how to answer. When I push a button on the keypad it says the corresponding color, not the number. There is a button on the television; my son loves to push it and hear the "Smartville Treehouse melody" over and over. Also, there are six shapes in the tree. Each has a corresponding nursery rhyme; however it doesn't sing the whole rhyme. Personally, I think there are better toys available, but he does play with it and seems to like it.

Vtech Bugsby Reading System Book - Olivia Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for my son, who is 5, bbecause it was on sale and he loves his other Bugsby books. I wasn't sure if he would like this one because, after all, Olivia is a girl! Turns out he loves it, Olivia is a great book for boys or girls. I love the Bugsby system, it allows them to read some on their own when you're just too busy and also helps teach them the words because they are reading along with the pen. I highly recommend this for children learning to read!

Youngsters will love whipping out this very grownup-looking laptop for a little educational fun! With 80 activities in such skills as language, math, Spanish, social studies, reading, art, and music, the Nitro Notebook packs a true academic punch. The sleek blue computer looks like a standard laptop on the outside, complete with mouse and pad, but features developmentally appropriate games for kids six and older.
As players explore games in Science World (match the animal to its shadow), Word Zone (spell the word to help the puppy cross the river), Creative Studio (create a musical masterpiece), and more, an artificial intelligence tool tracks their progress, automatically upping the challenge quotient as their skills progress. Two bonus cartridges (Story Time and Sing-Along) take kids still deeper into their journey of knowledge. This is a terrific way to improve school skills at home. Three AA batteries or 9V 300mA adaptor required (not included). (Demo batteries included.) --Emilie Coulter

VTech V.Smile Smartridge: Handy Manny Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son, who is three, has recently become a fan of Handy Manny so I went out on a limb and bought this. At first I was thinking that this may be to advanced for him, I was wrong. It took him a few try's but now he it using the tools and solving puzzles like it was second nature !!! He also will say words in Spanish to me. I love that he is always wanting to play and sing and do the individual games. He can get a little carless with his toy's, after all he is only three, but this cassette has held up very well. He love's this game and I like watching him play it. I will even join in with him from time to time. Although his Spanish is way better than mine.

V Tech - 3 - In - 1 Smart Wheels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this on sale at Amazon for[...]. Great deal. Both of my kids love it.
This toy is packed with lots of little functions not mentioned in the manual. For example, one function sings the ABC song and another says the ABC's in ascending order as you turn the wheel. There are three electronic modes, and the shifter and steering wheel works differently based on the modes.
I gave it a 4 star because it was built with lighter plastic, making it easy to tilt over when a small infant (over 25lbs) leans on it. The steering wheel should be padded more for infant comfort. The four supporting wheels should be more padded so it wont' scratch the tile/hardwood floors. The wheels don't move well, so don't expect kids be able to ride it like a tricycle. I put this on a carpet surface and into the Rocker, so my two kids can sit, rock, and play.
I wish the manufacturer will spend a few more dollars to use heavier material.

Vtech Tote and Go Laptop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow! I am so glad I bought this. After reading reviews on all of the other "laptops" for children, I decided on this one after thorough research. Most complaints with other parents on the other laptops was about the LCD screen being so small, while the screen on this is perfect for its size and intent. I did not have trouble seeing anything. So it doesn't light up, I'm thankful, that's one less battery to replace. The other complaint I read about the others is that they were loud. This one is not. My children playing with their toys doesn't disturb me though. If they are learning & interacting with the toy, I'm happy.
Another fun feature on this paticular "laptop" is that it has a working mouse. You can click to enter & move it slightly left or right or up & down (it is attached to the pad) to get to another activity or participate in one of the thirty plus fun games that offer pre-K learning & Kindergarten learing...find the shape that is bigger, etc... And yes I played with it to make sure everything worked correctly & to see what & how it would be teaching my children. It does teach & it has been fun for mine. It is a sturdy laptop with more bang for the buck than the rest of the other "laptops with many complaints" out there. You will be glad you purchased this for your little one. I have NO COMPLAINTS with this product. I also get involved with my children as much as I can to show them how learning can be fun. This purchase has been a smart one! Thank you Amazon!!!

Vtech - Thomas & Friends Laptop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked at this in the store when I was shopping for a long car ride toy for my 2 year old son and skipped over it because it looked, well kinda lame. The screen is small and basic... the letters on the button keys are small and I thought would be hard to read... so I passed over it.
Then he gets this for his second birthday and it is ALL he plays with for the past month and a half! He knows his letters now on-sight (I didn't work with him at ALL on this) I thought he was just randomly pushing buttons and started hearing more "great jobs" and "that's right" from the laptop so I watched him more closely and sure enough he is picking out the letters it 'asks' for.
There are 30 games with numbers or letters (capital and l/c). There are "which one is different" "which is smaller", etc. type games that involve moving the mouse left or right and clicking. There is also a arcade type game where you guide Harold with the mouse. I would have thought all of these were too difficult for him at 2 years old but he can do a lot more than I thought and really is learning!
Also, he has dropped this thing MANY times and we've had no problems. It has a handle that he likes to tote it around by - and it keeps his hands off our real laptop keys!
UPDATE (10/23/09): My 2 year old is now 4 and he still plays with it; not daily anymore but still often. There are a few more advance games that challenge him still. Even better his new little brother, who will be two in a few months, has started playing with it as well. We've really gotten a long run out of this one... though with all that use in two years I can only remember having changed the batteries once (thank you to whoever came up with auto shut off!)

The instructions are not very helpful. This process took me a while to figure out but once I did it was easy.

Vtech - Sing and Discover Story Piano Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've got two issues with this toy. First, it broke right away. My kids aren't rough, and didn't abuse it, but with in a week or two the microphone shorted out. My second issue is with the music, and this is a pretty big complaint of most VTech toys across the board. The music is BAD. I'm not saying bad quality, I'm talking about playing wrong notes for traditional nursery rhymes. It's so bad that we can't even sing along to some of the tunes. I come from a very musical family, and my husband is a music educator. This drives me BONKERS! VTech would have some knock out products if they could figure out the melody for these nursery rhymes!

Vtech Bugsby Reading System Book - Bugsby and the Magical Museum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is durable as all the bugsby books. I love the ideas in the book. My one complaint is that most of the paintings portrayed in the book play the same tune. It would have been more appealing if they each had their own classical tune. The book has worked fine with our bugsby system.
