B. Hellophone - Sea/Pattern

Got this for my daughter for christmas. Somehow one of the bottom buttons is stuck and won't come outit's broken, and won't play anymore music. She's only 19 months so she's not really powerful enough yet to have this toy break only a month after getting it. All the other buttons work great but that one just doesnt. was actually kind of disappointed.

Needs a louder volume in all parts that makes sounds .Very hard to hear the recordings or the phones built in sounds.

This is a pretty good toy cellphone for kids. Its big feature is that it lets you record a message that the kids can then play back with a button push. It has a nice feature that there is a hard to find lock button that locks in the message. I have two complaints about this, it's one of our kids go-to toys for the car so it gets a lot of wear, and it only seems to be moderately durable, we are on our second one. One feature I wish this has is the ability to record multiple messages instead of just one. Another thing I like about it is that when you close it calls back with a ring after 20 or so seconds, its a cute feature and very fun for the kids.

like all of you I'm sure, your babies are fascinated with your phone. Well this is a good alternative to have them play with. Being a flip up style phone it is a little out of date nowadays w/ smartphones, but your baby wont know the difference.

The numeric keys make a simple 1 note tone when you press them (like a real phone), the * and # keys play a little music (soft music, not annoying), and then there are two top buttons above the number keys: one plays two phrases (one kid asking to play, one mother-type voice saying I love you) and the other key allows you play anything you record. It is nice having the ability to record your own voice for your baby to hear.

I really appreciate that the phone pretty much only makes noises when the baby actually pushes a button. I have so many other toys at home that advertise teaching "cause and effect" through noises, but in reality they just play music/make noise constantly. The baby surely has no idea what he/she is doing is making the noise. But with this phone, press a key and it makes a simple note. That's it. Very clearly demonstrating that the button press makes the noise.

There are some cons in my mind: the record feature has a "lock" at the bottom of the phone so that your recorded message doesnt get erased. This lock is pretty easy for a baby to switch on/off. Also, the clamshell design has no lip/groove for the baby to easily open the phone. Sometimes my little girl brings me the closed phone in an effort to have me open it for her. One more note --any time you close the phone, the phone rings. If you dont "answer" it, it will stop ringing and be off. But it's still kind of annoying that it rings EVERY time you close it.

We have a couple play phones, my son (16 months) is obsessed with phones, everything gets put to his head as a phone. He loves buttons of all kinds too.

This phone is a bit better than some of the other options out there. When you hit the number buttons it beeps, just like a real house phone. When you close it, it rings, prompting them to open it again (this only happens once so you can leave it close, but is something to be aware of if you're trying to put it away without your child noticing, lol). The plus on this is that it can be put away without the buttons accidentally getting pressed (or toy stepped on at night in the dark making noise when you just finally got your child to sleep etc).

I love that you can record your own short message on the phone, it also has a button at the bottom to lock the recording, so it doesn't get written over accidentally.

Other buttons play music or have other voices talking saying 'hello' etc.
