    Cute toy and idea. I didn't like it because I was struggling opening the screws to place the battery and also once it's on sounds are so low volume you can barely hear it.

    Got this for my two year old and he is obsessed! Walks around the house with it and any time it’s not around, he asks “where’s phone?” If I didn’t know any better, I would think he was mocking me. Or is he? Anyway, I’m glad he finds so much joy in it!

    I didn’t like how the sound was very low. Even if you turned it up, you really couldn’t hear it. Unless you brought it up to your ear.

    The only thing that will get my child off my phone

    Sarah - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
    We got this when my kid was about 9-10 months and it’s the only toy phone that will distract her from ours—it has kind of the heft and feel of a phone! It’s not as annoying as some other phone toys. My only gripe is that the auto shutoff is really fast! I’d rather it be that way than the other way around but she’s not always actively pressing a button

    The on/off toggle on the bottom of the phone was really flimsy since taken out of the box. Within 30 days toggle no longer turns on/off the phone making it an unusable piece of plastic. Kiddo liked it but used less than 5 min per play.
