 "Terribly out of tune" 2010-09-19
By Klaus Georg (Chicago, IL)
I am a professional musician, so I might be overly sensitive to these things, but this keyboard is completely out of tune. I don't mean "it's not tuned exactly to A 440 concert pitch" I mean the notes are not in tune with each other. If you follow the "sheet music" included in this you get a minor rather than a major "Row, row, row your boat" and a "Twinkle Twinkle" with a minor sixth instead of a major one. It's nice that they attempt to have a complete octave, but if all you have are eight notes they'd better be the eight notes of the major scale!



Not usable in my opinion.



I can't speak to the durability or other usability issues mentioned in other reviews because we didn't even take it out of the box and are sending it back.

 "Early and often" 2009-10-14
By EClaire (Austin, TX)
This is a great toy, and not just for those 18 months and over.

When he was 4 months old, my son picked this out at the store; he seemed intrigued by the tones when I demonstrated it. I placed it at the end of his play gym, and one day he stretched out a foot and hit a piano key. Bing! He stretched out another foot. Beng! I could almost see the wheels turning. Excited, he started kicking fast, realizing his feet were playing a tune, and he loved it! I always kept the piano far enough away that he would hit only the plastic piano keys and not the harder xylophone keys. During tummy time, this was a toy to which he would stretch, and playing it made him forget that he was on his tummy.

A year and a half later, he plays with this all the time. When he was learning to stand and walk, we kept this on the ground, because it could hurt if it fell. Now we keep it on a low table at "piano" height, and he plays both the piano and the xylophone (yes, the string is a bit too short, but the lawyers probably designed it).

Another big plus to this toy: No batteries.

 "My son likes this toy" 2006-04-10
By New York Bargain Hunter (New York NY USA)
He is 8 months old and I put away the sticks because I am afraid he will poke his eyes out with it, plus he still does not have the coordination to use them. He likes to bang on the keys to make lots and lots of noise. So far it is quite durable and light enough for my son to pick it up, flip it, and bang on the bottom of it. I do not know about other parents but I still think that the sticks are a hazard if they have it near their nose, mouth or eyes and trip or fall over. I wouldn't chance it but then again maybe I am over sensitive. I got it for cheap, 19.95 shipped and buy one get one free. One for my son and one for his cousin. Good bargain, great toy (one of his favorites now)and I feel pretty good about purchasing it with the exception of the sticks, although he likes to bang on the xylophone with his hard plastic balls.

very durable. my son uses it for a step stool more than he plays it. we had to remove the sticks cause the string was too short.

 "SO much fun" 2009-09-12
By Leslie C. Long (Pittsburgh, PA United States)
I bought this video camera for my son's 5th birthday. He loves it. He an my older son (he's 6) had a blast with it. They ran around taping anything and everything....laughing every step of the way. They made "shows" and just taped each other acting goofy. Once it lost it's "new" appeal, they didn't use it as much but they do still pick it up and have just as much fun as they did originally.

 "Waste of money" 2009-01-20
By Lisa C (Utah)
Bought this from etoys as a Christmas present for almost 4yr old. Good price of only $89.00. First problem was getting the cover off to insert batteries. After nearly 10 minutes we finally got it off and then noticed that we would have to take it off every time we wanted to download the footage. Might have been willing to overlook that if the image quality were not so poor no matter what the resolution. The shutter is very slow and is nearly impossible to prevent movement of the heavy camera. Before returning to etoys (who were great about handling the return) I was going to remove the batteries. After trying to get the cover off for 5 minutes I decided it was not worth my time or frustration. So glad I returned this camera.

 "Examples of the Video Footage follow URL" 2008-11-30
By David B. Pearson
My first question was whats the quality of the output.. I couldn't find anything on web so two examples of the video here .

http://www.applemax.net/Main/Movie/Entries/2008/11/29_Little_Tikes_Video_Camera.html





Max got one of those waterproof kids camera's for his birthday and I have to be honest I really was expecting a poor output, how wrong was I!

Ok so the fact you have to unscrew the baseplate to get to the usb socket and the fact it records in ASF format so isn't that friendly but just look at the quality!!!!

I think I needed Flip4Mac Studio to encode output after using MPEG Streamclip (freeware) - to covert from ASF but honestly I had this stuff anyway and I am OVER the MOON with the quality. Look out for more Video's of Max by Max..

The Camera has 3 modes, Video, Replay and Camera. Camera picture are equally impressive!

Max gets the controls but he does find it quite heavy to hold for long periods (When you are 3 that is about 30 secs).

Once you have the hang of 2 secs to power on then hold the power button to scroll through modes. The zoom is useless if you set video and camera to maximum but I cant say he misses that option.

 "Nice but small screen with no color" 2010-05-14
By Hope Hankin
I bought several of these for my grandchildren, who are now 3 and were both 2 when I bought them. It was a good price and it is a very durable toy. The only thing I would change is to purchase one with a larger screen with pictures that do not look like stick figures. I'm sure there are better items out there with those features but for the price (I paid only $15 or $20) this was a good buy.

 "daughter loves it" 2010-01-30
By Vickie (NY)
my daughter loves this laptop she brings it everytime we leave the house. It is very durable she drops it a lot because she is just 2. I would have liked it to have a light on the laptop but not really needed because she is always in a lighted area when she is playing but would have been nice for car rides at night time. The only other dislike i have is that you can't just click on a letter and have it say the letter you have to wait for the animation to stop then click the next letter.

 "Awful" 2010-01-12
By Frank Castle (Atlanta, GA)
We wanted to give this toy a chance when we received it for Christmas but now that it's almost 3 weeks past, it's still awful. Since it's supposed to be a "laptop" we felt it should have a QWERTY keyboard. If it's mainly for learning letters, then it should be called something else. It takes FOREVER to move onto the next task and when you press on a number it starts counting up to that number. It doesn't really help you to learn that particular number because you could start pressing the numbers and it just says "ONE . . ." unless you press and then wait for the computer to count. What 2 year old is going to wait?? It has 3 different age settings and they're not much different. The only thing positive I can say about it is that it's a good size for a 2 year old and seems durable.

 "Not very satisfied" 2009-03-11
By M. Nemeth (Ashford, CT USA)
This toy looked like a great gift for my 2-year old. When he plays with it, he screams and gets really frustrated b/c it takes forever to process what he is 'typing' on the laptop. If he pushes a letter, the song has to completely finish what it is doing before registering what my son has just entered into the laptop. Very frustrating and completely unsatisfied with the purchase.

 "3 years and wonderful!" 2010-02-23
By Bmommy (Midwest, USA)
We have had this great little gas pump for three years now and it has gotten tons of use, both inside and outside. It has held up really well, and still is a lot of fun for the kids.



In addition to using it at home, we let the preschool borrow it for their Bicycle Day in the parking lot, where they had a little car wash and gas station set up, too!



Highly recommend this fun little toy! We love it!

By Mr. Arthur F. Werner
The little pumper was exactly what my grandson wanted. It is very durable. What I was disappointed in, was the condition of the pumper when received. It arrived at the house in a box without any internal wrapping or foam. ALL the labels (decals) that were applied to the pumper were peeled almost all the way off. Because this was a birthday gift, I had no time to send back for an exchange. I glued the labels back on. The company that shipped this product needs to review their packaging and product before sending out.

 "Good Toy, but sounds should be louder" 2010-02-10
By FunMom (Philadelphia, PA)
For once, I think the sound should be LOUDER on a toy. Some toys have sound that is too loud, but since this toy can be used outside, the gas pump sounds should be louder. It's a neat little thing for my nephew, but if it's going to make sound at all, you should be able to hear it.

 "disappointed" 2010-01-30
By M. eck
I sent this back - very disappointed in weight, decals, lack of imagination - Fisher Price made one 25 years ago which was a lot more interesting and fun. It had spinning numbers for the price and gallons, sturdy construction(still have our childrens - was looking for one for grandson), tools for small make-believe repairs (oil can, tire pressure checker, etc.) and a bell to indicate customer had arrived (I know, we now have self-serve).

My children enjoyed this for years!

My boys had the model from the late 80's. It was larger but made no sounds. My two year old grandson likes the sounds this pump makes and knew what it was. (He sees his family put gas in their vehicles) I do think it's a little small and he gets a little frustrated with the hose/holder. Understandable since he's only two. All in all a good toy, no regrets!

 ""Fill it Up Please"" 2010-01-07
By Gloria Montgomery (San Ramon, CA)
I love the concept of this toy for my grandchildren. However upon receiving the item I found the decals had been improperly positioned and wrinkled...First strike! Secondly, the weight of the pump makes it difficult for little ones to use it. It needs to be heavier at the bottom so when the hose is used it does not drag the pump to the floor every time. I'm having my husband weight the bottom so this does not happen. It could be a great item if these improvements were made.

My twin sons both got Cozy Coupes for Christmas and so naturally they got the gas pump as well. They love to gas up their cars and our 6 year old son also loves to gas them up for them. So cute. I wish it were a little heavier so it didn't fall over as much but overall a great little addition. If your child loves their cozy coupe, they will love the pump to go along with it.

 "Not exactly what I expected" 2009-12-23
By Kingston's Mommy (Jacksonville, FL)
The toy doesn't do too much, and its very light weight. My 9 month old pulls on the basketball rim and it tumbles over, I'm still trying to find the purpose of the t-ball stand, it doesn't do anything at all, its hard to get it to spin when you hit it with the bat. My son likes the football because when you grab it, it spins around and makes a lot of noise. I'm pretty sure there are other toys out there sports related with some type of educational value. Although it does cheer when you score a goal and it counts your shots.

 "Epic Fail" 2009-10-19
By KYP (Lakewood, CO United States)
I've never tried Little Tikes toys before so when Toys R Us had a sale (buy 1 get 1) I was like let's try them out. Got 6 things. The Sports Center, Tool Bench, Guitar, Xylophone and 2 30th Anniversary Coupes. EPIC FAIL on all except the coupes.



The toys are cheaply made with little to no thrills. They're essentially 1 dimensional toys with just the "play" factor. The ones that have sounds have a limited capacity with barely audible noise/music. I have been intrigued with most of my son's toys, this one lasted barely a minute out of the box before we moved on and opened another toy. Awful waste of money.



Why I didn't like the Sports Center:

The scoreboard counts to 10 - then does a half cheer and resets to 0. That's it, nothing more - no music - no sound effects beyond a cheer - nothing snazzy or jazzy about this toy. The football - just spins, the baseball, the ball doesn't detach, the bat is lame. It's a very limited toy in the education department, things that he's been doing or learning with other toys.



What I'm going to do:

Try to return it - if they'll take it back, if not, I'll just chalk it up to a loss



What I did:

Went and got the Fisher Price Brilliant Basics First Baseball - so far AMAZING!! The ball is attached for baby's use now, as he gets older, the holder rises and he can swing the bat and hit the ball (coordination pending). Really recommend that toy instead of this waste of space Little Tikes Sports Center



What I learned:

Stick to Fisher Price - Little Tikes is great for large toys (ride ones) but not so much for the little stuff. Do not get my money's worth.

 "Not much to it:(" 2009-08-15
By New mom (NOLA)
A friend gave this to my now 9 month old as a gift. He pulls the net area and it tips towards him. The football is just a rattle to spin. the bat and baseball might as well not even be there. When he drops the ball through the net, it makes cheering noises and adds points on the score board. After 3 dunks, he's off to the next toy.
