 "Will Hold Your Child's Attention" 2010-03-29
By Charles Evans (North Carolina)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1UTQBANQEDFHK First the negative - this is a very loud toy that does not have any sort of volume control. However, your child will be entertained by the varieties of songs and animal sounds that come from this interactive "zoo". Better yet, there is a small control nob that will make a monkey move and dance. You can see the features in the video, and you can imagine the smile's on your child's smile. In terms of safety, there are no small parts or sharp corners.



Features



- A small cylinder with number 1-3 that triggers a blurb about turtles



- A Toucan



- The dancing monkey



- Giraffe, Elephant, Penguin, and Parrot keys



- A light that blinks with each song and sound.



Final verdict - A toy that will be smiles to children ages 6-24 months. I know that our daughter loves it!



5 Stars

 "keeps babies attention, but annoying to parents" 2010-02-27
By W. Iser (Baltimore, MD)
My 6 month old will play with this toy for a few minutes before getting bored, so that's pretty good. She loves music and colorful things and this toys has both. I don't think this toy is educational though. It's very overwhelming with noises so I can't see how anyone can focus on learning or understanding what is going on while playing with the toy. There is also no volume control and it hurts my ears, so it's probably too loud for my babies ears too. I'm going to put tape over the speaker holes to see if that helps. The toy has 2 settings, one setting I never use since there is a man's voice that says very annoying things. The other setting plays sound effects and tunes, and is much more tolerable. I gave this toy 4 stars because my baby does like it and it's safe for her to play with and chew on. If it wasn't so loud and the man's voice wasn't so annoying, it would have earned 5 stars!

 "Fun!" 2009-12-29
By vanilla beaniyeh (Virginia, USA)
I gave this toy to my 15-month-old daughter to play with in the store while I shopped. Usually I put the toy back when I'm done shopping, but this one was a keeper. The joystick controls the movements of the monkey, and the different buttons play some very tolerable, pleasant, catchy baby tunes. It also has animal sounds. Everything on the toy does something, and what I love most is that it doesn't have detachable pieces that could get taken away from the "base toy" and leave the thing useless if you can't find the pieces you need. It is fairly small so you won't have to rearrange things to fit it in with the rest of your child's toys. Worth the money!

 "Great for babies!" 2009-11-20
By Indigo
I bought this toy for my 6 month old daughter. It is well-made and very cute. I think it is much better than other interactive toys because you can opt to turn the sound on or off (a big sanity saver for parents). It has two options - music and vocabulary words. There are plenty of levers and spinners to capture her attention.

 "Great Educational Fun!" 2009-05-11
By K. E. Ruef (Shawnee, OK, USA)
I've looked high and low for a handheld electronic game to help the granddaughter get a little more interested in her school work, but until I found the iQuest, it seemed that nothing would meet her age group needs or be able to compete with the games. Honestly, I am not sure how much she is still using this (six months later), but she raved about it in the beginning. I loved it when I took it for a "test drive" when we loaded the batteries. Had trouble putting in down! I definitely recommend the iQuest for anyone with kids grades 3-8 (even 2nd grade, actually). The programs are challenging, but not frustrating, and the "atta boys" when questions are answered correctly are not overkill (you know how some of them are almost condescending as far as older kids are concerned? Not a problem here!). The unit seemed very sturdy, but not "chunky" or unweildy. Very easy to use, and can be programmed with the child's name to address them directly.

 "Stackers don't stack up!" 2009-04-24
By Samantha Taylor (Clearlake, CA)
I bought these for my 12 month old and they DO NOT stack at all. I found this toy to be pointless and a waste of money. He is now 17 months and still does not enjoy this toy. Sometimes he will pick up one of the little pieces, but looses interest very fast. If you're buying this product for stacking, I recommend you look elsewhere. If you are buying this toy just to have random little pointless pieces.....LOOK NO FURTHER!

 "Just okay..." 2009-01-17
By 2 boys' Mom (Virginia)
Our son (9 months) received the Brightlings Builders for Christmas this year and he plays with them every once in a while. They are bigger than I pictured them when looking on the internet. Our son really only likes the pieces that make some sort of noise...the others he could care less for. Maybe he will like them more when he is older. Our three year old did not care for these at all.

 "great stacking toy" 2008-09-21
By Owen's mom (Portland, OR)
I have a developmentally delayed 2 year old, so I pay a great deal of attention to the educational value of a toy. This one is great. According to my son's physical therapist stacking toys, particularly ones that can be stacked many different ways are important to aid in cognitive development. Plus my son just enjoys stacking them up and knocking them down! They are cute and I don't think it would be possible to break them.

My kids (ages 3 & 5) got one of these sets as a gift. They didn't seem to have enough pieces to make the marble runs as big as they wanted, so we purchased two more sets as add-ons. They will play with them for hours! Great educational toy promoting creativing and problem solving skills.

 "Lots of fun, keeps Dad occupied too!" 2008-05-01
By Jersey Reader (Sunnyvale, CA)
This is a lot of fun, I like the way the marbles sound when they're running through it. It's very colorful and the ways to construct the towers are virtually endless. My husband is the technical type so he loves to build a lot of different configurations for his and daughter's enjoyment. It gives mom a break and everybody wins. I have a hard time constructing anything that works well so it's not really MY type of toy.

 "At least it is slightly educational." 2005-11-17
By Aaron L. Shaw (Provo, UT USA)
But will you kids love it? That is the question. It may teach your kids about gravitational forces, or actiona and reaction, all you like but will your kids like it? Yes. The downside is that they will only enjoy it after you set up the toy. Some parents want a toy they pull out of the box and never have to touch. You have to assemble this one everytime. It's not as easy for kids to assemble as you would hope. Good luck with this one.

 "Gave it a try despite low rating then returned it." 2010-03-16
By Iamrambo (Delmarva, USA)
This is the second "Kid PC" I have tried. It's hard to allow little ones on a real PC without risking damage, so I hoped this would have worked out. My 3 year old really wanted to enjoy it but ended up being frustrated with the lack of variety, and difficulty in using it. My 8 year old, with some effort was able to master the mouse but the pen was still too difficult. She was dissapointed that more thought and common sense wasn't put into the games. Games were very limited with minimal content.

 "Great Concept, Poor Quality" 2010-02-24
By Penny M. Toniolo (PA, USA)
For 3 and up... love this. Good for introducing kids to computer/mouse/keyboard. Games are basic quality for graphics--remember its not an xbox! My 4yr old twins love it, graphics are good enough for them. On the flip side... I've now had 2 of them. 1st one broke w/in 2 months (keyboard). Vtech mailed me a new one. 2nd one broke w/in 6 months (game cartridge unit). I bought several games, and will look for another one off of craigs list or at a garage sale. When it works, its great.

 "Don't waste your money" 2010-02-13
By mtrgrl
I thought this would be a great toy for my son because he is always trying to type on my computer and he loves to play the games on the library computer. He was very excited to use it but it has provided more frustration than anything else. The mouse is difficult for me to control and next to impossible for a 3 year old, the touch pad and pen are barely adequate, and the selection of games is limited (keep in mind that the games that come with it are the only ones that work with it). The unit can play regular V-Smile games but nothing except the joystick and touch pad work with other games. I am not sure I will ever buy anything from V-Tech again.

I got this for my son for his 3nd birthday. i got three games for it. he loved the games and was real excited.. then it stopped working at first we thought it was the batteries but after trying different batteries we realized it just died and stopped working. The good news is all the games we bought can be used with the v tech handheld also and you can plug that into the tv too, he loved the hand held more so Im actually glad the other one broke.

 "Unreliable - Died after 5 months" 2009-07-22
By ShadesOfGray (Detroit, MI USA)
I bought this and a Pocket V-Smile brand new from Toys R Us for my kids for Christmas this past year, and by May both were dead. The PC Pal lasted barely five months, and the Pocket V-Smile lasted only three. Within the same week, both units just died - they fail to power on either with batteries or AC Adapter. And now we have seven coasters that used to be game cartridges (fortunately most of them were bought used so the amount of wasted money isn't as bad as it could have been).



Needless to say, the reliability of VTech products is pathetic, to say the least. While they were functional my kids had fun with them, but I'd never throw good money after bad by buying another one.
