Chicco Rainbow Activity Phone

My husband got this for our 18-month-old son for Christmas as "his" gift to him as I had already done all the shopping.

It's cute and he played with it all the time. Has lots of little features to it. There is even a phrase (can't remember what it is) that the phone says that he would attempt to mimic every time. Cute!

My only problem with this is that the cord ALWAYS comes apart. ALWAYS. Why does it have to snap together? I don't get it. As short as it is, it isnt' a choking hazard, so I don't understand. And on top of that, one of the parts that snaps together is cracked.

Would buy again, but it just doesn't seem very durable!

It was just a short stupid string. My 17 month old grandson put the phone part to his ear and because the attached string is so short, the base slammed him in the chest.

My six-year-old may no longer play with this toy (it has since been donated) but he did play with it from about 1 years of age until he was around 4 years old. The last year or so it was mostly used by him for pretend play.

He loved especially that it could roll and was so colorful! The lights were never very bright on his but he still loved pushing all the buttons when he was small. The cord was too short to really be a pull-toy but my son liked to take the phone off at times and use the base as a big car so I never minded that you could separate the cord.

He also had the more classic-looking FP pull phone too but the phone cord was so small on it, he rarely played with it (and he had other pull toys he liked better). That said, I have also seen other children prefer the FP one, so it depends on the child.

It is very durable. I never had any issues with the cord coming apart that I remember. This toy got played with regularly by my son and his cousin (1 year younger) for at least two years and barely showed any signs of wear. It was also surprisingly easy to clean up, even with spit-up or food on it (the balls roll around freely enough to clean all of them). If I had another child, I would probably get this toy again for the phone toy.

My son enjoys this toy even though he still unable to actually push the buttons. He can pull on the handpiece and the whole phone rolls towards him.
