Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Fridge DJ Magnetic Learning Radio
Customer Review: Fun while learning!
Summary: 5 Stars
We absolutely LOVE this toy. I bought it for our daughter for Christmas when she was 18 months old as a distraction for her while I cooked dinner. It seemed like it would be something fun to manipulate with all the noises and lights. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the variety and quality of songs and with our daughter at the age of 2 now, we credit it with teaching her to count to 10 (all that repetition), the alphabet and basic phonics. At age 2, she still plays with it all the time and our 4 1/2 year old plays with it just as much.
The songs are catchy and the fun thing is that they don't realize they are learning...it's just FUN!
I would HIGHLY recommend this toy for you and as a gift for other children.
Customer Review: Repeats Letters in the Alphabet Song
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product for my son and am truly disappointed in its performance. I have exchanged it twice now and am still having the same problem. The first one repeated the letter "J" in the Alphabet Song and skipped the letter "K". So, I exchanged it and the second one did the same thing only it was with 2 other letters. I then called LF and after returning the second one directly to them (I had to pay for shipping), they sent me a new one that is doing the same thing again. This one is also with the letter "J". I don't want my son to play with it as he will only end up learning the alphabet the wrong way. LF has not been helpful at all and I just intend to get my money back. I have other LF fridge products that work great but this fridge DJ does not.Customer Review: Great musical fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Worth the Money!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first considered buying this toy, I thought it was a bit pricey. I went for it anyway and my 11 month old son just loves it. It is very durable! When it plays songs, the screen lights up with different "pictures" that go with the music. For example, when it plays Old MacDonald, the screen shows "pictures" in red of a tractor, a duck, a dog, and then E I E I O, in accordance with the song's words. It does not sing words though, it only plays the music, giving mom or dad a chance to sing the words, or make them up if they aren't known, for baby's entertainment (or not!). Once I saw all it could do I decided it was well worth the $19.99 I paid for it, and it gives our son something different to do when I'm in the kitchen.Customer Review: PLEASE READ: TWO BATTERY PULL-TABS!!
Summary: 1 Stars
There are two pull-tabs for the battery; one on the front of the packaged toy (so you can hear a sample-about 5 seconds- of the music), and one on the back of the toy itself (so the songs play all the way through).
I've never seen TWO battery pull-tabs on any toy, PLEASE don't make the same mistake I did and return the item without pulling the second pull-tab. Leapfrog doesn't mention the second tab on the packaging.
All you need to do is cut the tape on the side flap of the box, slide the toy out w/the cardboard it's attached to, and pull the plastic tab. Then slide it back in and close the box. The package is completely unharmed and giftable.
After learning this I give this product an A+!!!
