User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Play phone with lights and sounds
I bought this phone for the grandkids and they love it.(Age 1 and 6 months) They esp. love the flashing lights that go off when ever you push a buttom. Its not overbearingly loud, and has music and a phone that says “lets call mommy, or lets call daddy”. The nice thing also is it has a turn off button, it also seems very durable and strong. In this household, the kids love it!
1 Star Disappointed
I’m surprised this toy got so many positive reviews. The speaking voice that comes out drives me crazy! The inflections of individual words don’t match the sentence; for example, the voice says, “This is the RED triangle” and the word “red” has this excited, overly happy inflection. It just doesn’t fit in the sentence. It’s the same with most of the sentences and sounds unnatural – “Let’s call MOMMY!” It reminds me of a computer voice where the words are pieced together. We have other Vtech toys that we are very happy with. I wish we had a different brand of toy phone, though!
5 Stars Shocked at how much my toddler loves this!
I bought this used from a consignment shop, not from Amazon. It was a little scratched up from the previous owner but otherwise works like a champ. We’ve had it for a couple months and it’s been dropped all over the place and played with almost every day, and still going strong. So, full marks for durability!
This is actually the 3rd toy phone that we’ve bought, but the only one that has absorbed my toddler’s attention for more than a couple minutes. Yes, the songs and sounds are very annoying to me after a while, but he loves it so who am I to complain?
I don’t know what that other reviewer meant by a foreign voice. Ours sounds American and is perfectly coherent. She is maybe a little too enthusiastic about shapes and colors, but whatever.
This has an on/off switch but no volume control. The volume is an adequate level for the house or car, not too quiet, not too ear-damaging. If it’s too loud for you, you can put a piece of packing tape over the speaker to muffle, like we do with many of our other singing toys.
5 Stars BEST phone for your money
My daughter has had this phone for about 2 yrs. It has grown with her. At 1 – she liked the lights and sounds (and could chew on the antennae without worry). At 2 – she knew what sounds came from which button in all 3 modes. Now at 3 she is listening to the words and repeating them and thinking about what it all means. I leave this in the car and it’s her toy when we are on the road. I love that it has French and Spanish on it as well as English. It’s never too early to introduce other languages. We had tried a few other brands before we found this one and by far this one is the best. Batteries last forever in it. This would make a perfect gift to expecting parents.
5 Stars perfect christmas gift
I bought this for my 1 and a half year old niece and she hasn’t stopped thanking me. She played with this gift the most out of all the crap she got this year. I can hear it now as I type.
