Fisher-Price Reviews

Great toys! I love that they have made a figure of Kevin and I love his backpack (wings pop out of it and he can "fly" with Krypto). The only problem (and it's minor, mind you) is that Krypto's head doesn't turn...it only moves front and back. Because he's "flying" his ears are stuck in a "wind-rushing-through-them" pose. The individually packed Krypto looks better, imho. Having said that, I love that THIS Krypto has jointed front paws. Awesome.

o.k they said on the Krypto website krypto toys would be coming out fall 2005 they did not include some charecters like brainy barker tail terrior and brainy is the leader of the dog star patrol she should get her own toy what do they think she is stupid no and the dvd is good but what about features like how to draw Krypto

Kevin got on my nerves after a few plays... the backpack Wings could be a real choking hazard for little kids as they could break off. Krypto is made of heavy plastic and the cape is a rubbery type of plastic. well made but the feet could break off if the screws get loose and come out.

the DVD has no menu screens as well as no extras... All in all the DVD has a cool cartoon.. No chapter breaks onscreen either. The leash tends to come off too easy when you try to make them fly... I could keep this as a collectors item for fans of the show.

My daughter is 21 months and she has had the Learn Through Music Plus toy for about 3 or 4 months now. She loves it and I'd say it's one of the only toys she plays with for more than one minute. She will play with the Dora Rom for at least 20 minutes sometimes, which is great. I highly recommend this one.

We have ALL the Learn Through Music Cartridges and they are all very good but this one is outstanding. The songs are so catchy, my 21 month old son can't play them enough, I even love them. He is learning all the instruments and tempo's which he get's so excited about each time he hears each one. This cartridge features some of Dora's best songs...I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map etc., Come on Vamano's, everybody let's go... (sp?)etc. and several others, so fun and so educational. She speaks in both english and spanish very clearly and my son can't get enough of Dora. It's all dora all the time over here. This is a must have! BUY IT ;) p.s. you don't have to be a Dora fan to enjoy and learn from this cartridge, it's fun for all. This one is always sold out, get it while you can (they don't sell this particular one in the store, yet).

my 2 year old loved this so much,even though hes still too little to really play these games and anwser questions he loved looking at all the graphics and colors ,just like the shoews he watches.it really is for 3 and up. but thats ok hell play it in the summer.i recccomend this system to all.

If your goal is to include the crossing pieces, you need at least 2 half length pieces for each intersection - BUT - it is soooo much easier to use them if you have 4 half length pieces. I believe the Tracktown Railway came with two of the crossing pieces, so you need at least two boxes of the straights to make the most use of the crossing pieces. This is the only reason I am not giving 5 stars.

The Geotrax train is a VERY rugged and durable toy. It is also a great value. My kids have played for hours and hours and still have great enthusiasm and interest for this toy.

This kit makes it possible to connect both directions of the criss-cross track (like a figure 8). You'll need four of the 3" pieces of straight track to accomplish this. The other way to connect the criss-cross is to use two of the new 18" diameter curves found in the "Conductor's Crossing" kit from the "Air and Sea" series. Note that ALL curves are 12" diameter, except for these new special 18" diameter curves.

It is best to NOT use the 18" diameter curve track, so that all of your curves line up when you use the "Elevation Series" kits with the stanchions. The stanchions hold the upper level track above the lower level track. With the stanchions, the track pieces MUST be on top of each other and follow the same exact contour.

The 6" straight track found in the Rail Track Pack (STRAIGHTS) is a welcome addition. This is the only kit that offers a high number of rail straight track. You'll need these to make some really good and explanded layouts.

For more track layout ideas search for "Geotrax Track Layout" on eBay.

The Straights are a must have for anyone wanting to build there own track designs. It's amazing how much of a difference these few pieces make! If you can swing it get two, it's worth it!

This "guitar" is simply a noise maker. There is no volume control. There is no off button. There are no strings. All kids have to do is hit one of four buttons to start loud, annoying music. It is unreliable. Sometimes the buttons start the music, sometimes they don't. Do not buy this toy.

If this is a CD player, then my kid's See-and-Say is a record player. This doesn't play CD's - it just has a spinning plastic disc with pictures. I was rather dissappointed with this purchase...

My daughter received this as a birthday gift. She absolutely loved it, but within 3 months the push button in the middle stopped working, so you had to turn the CD by hand if you wanted to use it. We kept it around because she liked it, but just recently when we turned it on the sounds were all garbled, we changed the batteries to make sure that wasn't it and it was still garbled. My daughter has had this toy for about 8 months now and it is the worst I have seen. The quality is not worth the price. I am sad to see that my brother paid so much for a toy of poor quality. I would have to say buyer beware with this toy.

The name sure is deceiving ... not a cd player ... but its a great toy that spins like a cd.

Our baby's favourite toy since she was three months old. Specially when she is in the car seat (which she hates to be in), this toy will keep her entertained and busy for a long while. She is 8 months now and still enjoys this toy as much.

Great for its value, and the music & lights are a plus.

My almost-3-year old daughter loves this toy. She also has the Maid Marian set and loves having 2 princesses to ride in the carriage. She likes putting the knight from another set into the horse, and she can tell they all "go" together, versus her FP house. Because my daughter is a princess fantatic, this set was a huge hit: especially since Cinderella was re-released and *this* set has a carriage. Who knew a 3 year old would know what a carriage for a ball was? I think it's delightful she actually pretends to go to a ball and carries on conversations between the princesses.

For imaginative play, I gave this toy a 5 star rating. Our princess is a bit well-loved (some paint missing), but who wouldn't be after continual living in a little girl's pocket?

Definitely a recommended toy!

This is an additional set for the Lil Kingdom. It includes a pink carriage, Princess Sonya Lee, Prince Michael and a horse that can either be connected to the carriage or the horse can be ridden all by itself. Also included is a dance area so that your Little People can dance and spin the morning away!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, imagination and play are so important for your child! Any Little People set or additional set can create hours of fun for both you and your child!

The reason we got this set vs the Maid Marrion set (that comes with two unicorns, one big & 1 little) is that you can ride the horse! A great addition to our Little People toys, my daughter nows asks us to get ther the casstle (but we already have the house, garden accessories, airport and farm accessories).

Since we have so many people already, two can ride the coach while one rides the horse and the prince and princess can dance.

Great fun for your horse/princess/Renn Faire/little people fan.

My mom bouth this toy for my son. The music portion of the mobile is fine. Plays classical & lullaby music. At night you can see the stars on top of the ceiling which we loved. However, the mobile moves so slow that you have to look closly to see if it is actually moving. And the whole unit eats batteries like crazy. I only used to about two months and had to change the batteries about 6 times. Even with fresh batteries sometimes the music won't play, or the light for the stars wouldn't come on. I highly suggest not buying this product. In fact, the next time I'm in a city that has toy-r-us, i will be returning it.

I put this mobile on my baby's crib a couple of days ago. Upon turning it on to see how it worked, I immediately heard the hum in the motor as the mobile turned. I also thought the music was a little too loud, even on the lower setting. I think I will be returning this. It got on my nerves listening to it.

I would like to ask others who have purchased this mobile if they hear a "buzzing" sound as the mobile rotates. It seems loud to me and I'm wondering if this is normal or if I purchased a defective one.
Also, I feel the music is too loud even at the lower volume selection. I even covered the speaker to muffle it as it's primary purpose is to put the baby to sleep not keep him/her awake.

This toy is wonderful! Inside the blocks are circus animals that move when the train is going. By far this is my sons favorite toy. It is very easy for a baby to activate and has lights that blink. Very cute music as well. It even goes on carpet.

I think that Amazon rates the recommended age for this too low. My son got this as a Christmas present when he was 5 and a 1/2 months old. He loved it then. Took him a bit to figure out how to work it, but it was love at first site. He's 10 months old now, and still absolutely loves this toy. If you start the train, no matter what he's doing, he has to come over as quick as he can to play with it. He loves to start it, and then flip it upside-down to watch the wheels. I could not be more impressed with this toy. He will quite literally play with it for an hour at a time.
I'm looking for the others in the series, right now.
Good job Fisher Price!

We got this for my grandson and it is his favorite toy. He got it at 6 months and learned to make noise when the train made noise. Now he is 9 months and when he starts to cry we push the train and when he hears the noise he crawls over and starts to play. I never thought a toy train would bring so much joy.
