great fridge toy
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My son really likes this toy. He loves the songs, and he carries it around like a boom box. When he eats his meals in the kitchen, we put it on the fridge and play music for him. He’s a very fussy eater, so sometimes, it’s the only way to get him to eat! It eats up batteries like crazy though.
Great musical fun!

Our 15 month old daughter loves all types of music, and we wanted to get something portable for her to listen to. From the moment she got this “radio”, she was hooked. It’s one of the first toys that she grabs each morning, and plays with throughout the day.
Pros:
- Good mix of educational (Alphabet Song, Days of the Week, etc.) and classic music (Old MacDonald, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc.).
- Easy for a toddler to carry.
- Nice LED display with letters and numbers.
Cons:
- The “classic” songs are music only, no singing.
- The music all sounds a bit computer-generated (ie. MIDI).
- Adults might get tired of hearing that kid’s voice saying “All Right!” after almost every song.
A fun and educational child’s toy.

The toy has a letters, numbers and song mode. It shuts off when not in use. My 10mth old daughter dances along with the music(she likes to dance). I’m sure she’ll find it quite useful once she becomes older.
Enjoyable, durable and worth the money!!!!!

I bought this radio as a last minute Christmas toy for my son who was 15 months old at the time. It was love at first sight.It was not only the hit of the day but the most enjoyable (for him) toy that I have ever gotten him to date. He carried it around with him most of the time rather than leaving it on the refrigerator but whatever works for him works for me. He loved most of the songs and played them over and over again. He knows all the songs front to back and it took him no time to learn which “station” to turn it to and how many times he needed to push the music button to get to the song he wanted. We also live on a second floor apartment and going though his throwing phase he tossed it of the balcony several times and almost 3 years later it is still going strong. Music, structure and magnet rise. While he no longer plays with it constantly I can tell you that he, 3 years later, still turns it on at least one a day. Anything that costs 20 bucks and lasts more than 6 months (entertainment wise) is well worth the money. I have read comments about the sound quality and loudness of the radio so I thought I would comment on it. The sound quality could be a little sharper but my son was able to learn the sons fine so no complaints from me. As for the loudness, I can hear it from any room in the house, any louder and it might be annoying rather than enjoyable. It would be a top choice for a gift for a child between the aged of 1 and 3.
You don’t *have* to put it on the Fridge

We got this as a present for my son’s first birth day and he is 33 months old now. There has not been a day he has not played with this toy.
I thought it was a little big to put it on the Fridge. Also, it’s kind of crazy to stick this on the fridge… in any case we don’t let our one year old open or close the fridge. I was a bit amused when I found a reviewer complaining that his fridge got scratched.
I found a cabinet that is within easy reach of my son when he is eating his dinner on his high chair. I used the handle to affix it to the cabinet knob permanently. I had to use an extra long cabinet screw to do this. And so it has been for the past year and half. He ritualistically plays the songs when he eats his dinner to this day and he has become quite a pro at being a DJ.
One of the best toys I have owned/used.
best radio for a toddler
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This radio is easy enough for my one year old to handle…not all of the toddler radios out there are really easy for them to use. This one has multiple songs that were new to us, as well as some old favorites. They weren’t as annoying as some other musical toys that play the same two songs over and over. My daughter has had it for 5 months and still wants to play with it daily. Her 5 year old sister even enjoys it, as well. Definitely one I would recommend and buy as a gift.
Great toy!

Nice toy.

My 18-month old grandson loved carrying it around, pushing the buttons, watching and listening. A good purchase.
my 2 year old loves it
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Once I was able to get her to understand to not take it off of the fridge, which didn’t take long, this has been a fun toy. Even though she likes magnets that are smaller that she can put on and take off of the fridge, I, as a parent, love this toy because I am not having to pick it up of the floor constantly like some of the other magnetic alphabets.
Does Not Play Full Songs, I’ve Tried Everything!…
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Thank goodness this was a gift because I’d be very annoyed at having paid for this. Before I started this review, I checked to see if other people had my problem, a few did, and some said you need to pull the tab in the back or change the batteries. I’ve done those things, it STILL will not play an entire song. Every song fades away after about 5 seconds. It’s a shame cause my son (1½ old) loves this thing. We’ve had it about 6 months, but he’s just recently started carrying it all over the place. The major downside is he has to continuously press the button to get the songs to play since they fade away so quickly. I’ve checked the back thinking maybe there was a switch that said ‘Demo-mode’, or maybe a tab that I missed…nope. Maybe I just got a lemon, which is a bummer since he seems to like it, but I just can not give this toy a good rating based on my experience with it.
