Almost Perfect4
My son LOVES his new DVD player. Now he can take Lightning McQueen wherever he goes. My biggest complaint is that there is no "hold" feature. My son just turned 2 and still likes to push buttons. It would be nice if I was able to lock it so that the buttons don't function while the movie is playing. I realize this toy is recommended for 3 and up but I still feel it would be a nice feature.

Very happy with this purchase!5
I recently purchased this on Ebay for my 2 year old. We love it! I load the dvd for him and he does the rest. He loves pushing the buttons and carrying the little dvd player around with him. The screen is small, but the resolution is so great that it doesn't really matter. The player auto corrects itself when it detects a scratch on the dvd. You can jostle the player around and even drop it on a couch or bed and it won't even skip. We bought the "on the go kit" separate and it has everything we need to go on a trip. It includes the car adapter, ac adapter, ear phones, ear phone splitter, and rca cables. I had thought about buying a different player, that had a bigger screen and was less expensive, but now I am really happy to have spent [...] on this toddler friendly dvd player. I think this will hold up to years of little hands.

Hanging Tough For Toddlers4
Fisher Price has done it again and they have released another great kid-tough product. This year they have released a DVD player that will be able to handle a royal beating from your toddler. As a personal fan of their kid-tough camera, I was excited to see how the new DVD Player worked.

This DVD player is built from sturdy heavy-duty materials that can handle plenty of abuse. Each unit comes with a rechargeable battery & charger, which holds a charge for about two hours.

The screen size is 3.2 and has a color LCD screen on it with simple controls that make it easy for children to use. It also has a handle where kids can tote or hold the unit while they watch their movies or you can use the kickstand legs on the unit for hands-free viewing.

Not included with this player is a video out cable for the television, but if purchased, your child can watch their movies through their own DVD player on the regular television.

Features

  • DVD player is the first portable DVD player that is tough and easy enough for kids to use
  • It is designed to be kid-tough and survive drop after drop after drop
  • Includes rechargeable batteries with 2 hours of life
  • A surefire way to keep your kids entertained without the risk of more delicate electronics
  • It is kid tough and worry free

Fun toy5
My son loves this toy and could play with it for hours! He uses the cars that came with it, but also uses other matchbox cars. In fact, that's part of the fun...the weight of the different cars varies so that adds some suspense to which car will make it down the ramp the fastest. The winner is then paired up with another car, then the winner of that race is paired up with another, and so on. We'll have about 25+ matches to come up with a grand prize winner, and then we do it all over again. It's a lot of fun and it keeps him entertained for a long time!!

My Review of the Toddlerz Spiral Speedway3
We purchased this product for one of our son's Christmas gifts.

Pros:
Well built and durable
Makes racing sounds
Easy to use (1+)

Cons:
Kids get bored with it quickly
Sounds go off my themselves sometimes and can be annoying
Odd shape makes it difficult to put away in a toybox

Good gift5
My son loves this toy. My son also races his hot wheel cars and his Thomas trains down it. I don't know why the other reviews said that only the cars that came with it work, we had only postive with all the cars we have tried. The only problem with this toy is, it is so loud. But I just took out the batteries. And that fixed that problem. We love this car racer.

Product Description

Place the cars in the starting gate, flip up the ramp and they're off. Side-by-side racing excitement gets a special twist as two cool race cars race down the spirals and turns. Kids can hear the engines start and rev by pressing the back of starting gate, or press the front lever for "supersonic" racing sounds. Features an easy-carry handle. Requires 2 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included). Measures approximately 18 inches tall.

Fantastic Toy but SEXIST!!5
Before I begin, I want to make one thing clear to anyone who is reading these reviews BEFORE buying the Pirate Ship ...

As far as I can tell, the reviews that refer to the ship coming apart are referring to an earlier version of this ship, which was modular and allowed for the middle section to be removed. (The Imaginext line originally involved playsets that were very modular in design, and were meant to come apart and be reconfigured according to the child's whim. Problem was that a lot of sets sort of ... unconfigured themselves ... at inopportune moments while the kids were playing. Needless to say, the wee ones were NOT amused by toys that kept falling apart as they were playing with them, so the product line was reworked in the last few years.)

That being said ...

My parents bought the pirate ship for my daughter for her 4th birthday. Not only did it stand up to her playing with it, it also completely withstood the enthusiasm of a couple of hyperkinetic 8 year old boys jacked up on way too much fruit juice and cake. Point being, it's pretty durable!!!!!!!!!! Yes, there are pieces (ornamental) on the ship that can be removed, but we have never had those pieces fall off on their own. All in all, it's a fantastic toy that was well worth the money for the durability and enjoyment my daughter has gotten out of it thus far.

In fairness however, I should point out the biggest CON of the playset. Namely that there is a STUNNING and DISTURBING lack of even a single female character not only in this playset, but in the entire Imaginext line ... a point that I have taken up with their corporate office (and I would wholeheartedly encourage others to do the same if this blatant sexism bothers you too -- the only way we'll get them to change this is if enough people let them know how much we object). The real pity is that my daughter has ended up supplementing with female figures from other playsets (none of which were Fisher Price). Fisher Price really dropped the ball here. Not only did they blatantly and chauvinistically fashion this toy only for boys, they missed out on money that could have been theirs. Even if the inclusion of female characters came as a supplemental pack of figures, it's the LEAST they could have done to include the other half of the child population. No offense to the bigwigs at Fisher Price, but boys aren't the ONLY ones who think that pirates (or castles, or superheroes, etc. etc.) are cool.

Although my daughter definitely lamented the lack of a female characters (she kept asking me, "But Mommy, where's the GIRL pirate??"), she does love the set and is extremely happy that she got it as a gift. I would rate this toy extremely high, but would caution the parents of girls to consider the psychological ramifications of introducing their daughters to an entire line of toys where there are NO female characters whatsoever, and the feminine sex is relegated to complete oblivion. (Apparently, parents have been complaining about this fact to Fisher Price for over three years now with no results ... so SPEAK UP if you've been silent on this issue!! The more parents who voice their objection, the less likely they'll be to leave our daughters out in the future.)

Perfect for my 6 year old son5
I bought this for my son when he got on his pirate kick. We love it so much we have bought more imaginex products and the accessories for the ship.
It's very durable. My son has a knack for breaking things. No problems with this ship! It's even gone into the bathtub a few times...
It's easy to play with, and has lots to do. I hate it when I buy a toy and I have to help my son play with it or make it do whatever the commercial showed. This toy does not have that problem. I helped him find all the little 'secret' things, but after that, he could entertain himself! He is easily frustrated (he has aspergers, a type of autism) and the whole line of these toys function like they should, aren't too complicated, interesting and fun!

great product5
This toy is the hit of my grandsons 3rd birthday.It is very durable and there is a lot to do with this ship.It really gets his imagination going.I would recommend it to anyone.

great for a long time5
When my son was a newborn, the vibration feature was great. He'd sleep in it while I worked at my desk. Now that he's almost 5 months old he plays with the toys and watches the lights on the waterfall. He starts to wiggle and kick his feet as soon as I go to strap him in! When he's done playing, the vibration lulls him to sleep. He can be occupied/napping for over an hour. He loves the feature where the lights and music are activated when he bounces. He's learning cause and effect as he wiggles to get the fun started! I love that it's been helpful since birth, and will continue to be a useful for several more months.

My son loves it!!5
My son loves the lights and the monkey and the frog moving! he adores it so much...and stays on it for almost 1 hr. He talks to the monkey and smiles alot@!!

Good overall4
We bought this a bit late...when she was about 3 or 4 months old (almost 7 months now). She would be happy in it for about 15 minutes, sometimes 30. But that's all we needed. She enjoyed it quite a bit (still does on occasion). I've never had to change the batteries, though we don't use it a whole lot, so not sure if that is typical. She did get bored with it quickly after a while. It became a 5 minute distraction. At one point, her foot got caught in the parrot's "ring/swing". That was a bit scary! Of course, once she realized she was okay, she put her foot through the ring on purpose a couple times. We use it every now and then still, but only for a few minutes, since she can sit up on her own, and she will lean over the sides. She's also grabbing the frog as he pops up, and it clicks. I'm afraid she'll break it soon! I think it's time to get the Jumperoo! (She loves to gnaw on the parrot's beak :(.)

Best Purchase Ever5
I bought this swing for my daughter who was 8 mos at the time. I hung it in the basement so we wouldn't go stir crazy through the cold weather. She absolutely loves this swing. I can put her in it for an hour it seems. She gets upset when I try to take her out of it. It's very sturdy and simple to lift the tray to put her in/out. The safety straps are adjustable and easy to use. This was the best purchase!

As advertised....5
I wanted a simple, inexpensive swing for my 7 month old and this works perfectly. I spent another $10 on chain and hooks at the hardware store and we were good to go. It's safe and comfy...

Nice Swing for the Price4
I purchased this swing to match one that I already have. My only faux-pas is that it's very hard to adjust the ropes to make them even. Other than that, two thumbs up!!!

Features

  • The Infant to Toddler Swing is an outdoor swing that spans the development of a child from infant to toddler.
  • The tray holds toys or snacks and lifts up out of the way for easy in and out.
  • A dual restraint system, with three point harness and tray, keeps the child secure.

A Classic--Safe Choice4
Seems to be fine--my one year old is not as engaged with this toy as I had hoped, but it is still a great toy. She likes to use the rope to pull it behind her.

A good old toy!!!! Thank GOD there are still a few left.5
Got this toy for my grandson who loves phones. Was beyond excited that it still existed as his mom had one when she was little. It's nice to see a toy that isn't "high tech" or "super educational"....just a good old fashion toy that lets him use his imagination, learn hands on by doing and doesn't require batteries, etc etc. Think kids now adays don't get enough of that....everything is high tech and no chance for them to just plain be kids.

Cute toy4
I was really excited to see this toy because it reminded me of the one I had when I was little. My only issue is the too long pull cord. I was going to cut it at first, but then decided to take the phone apart and put it inside the phone. That way I can take it back out when my son is older.
