VTech Sing and Discover Story Piano

My son got this for his first birthday, and loves it. It's got lots of different buttons for him to push, two different modes, plus the pages of the book turn, and the buttons correspond to the page. Also, it's got a microphone that really works, and he loves to listen to himself. We've got a couple of VTech toys now, and they've held up great to banging, drooling, chewing, and just generally being beat up.

I would have liked to see a couple of changes to this, although overall it's great. 1. For a piano, I sort of expected to have a full octave of keys. With only 5, it's just a little short. I also expected one of the modes to say the color of the keys when you pressed on them.

I've got two issues with this toy. First, it broke right away. My kids aren't rough, and didn't abuse it, but with in a week or two the microphone shorted out. My second issue is with the music, and this is a pretty big complaint of most VTech toys across the board. The music is BAD. I'm not saying bad quality, I'm talking about playing wrong notes for traditional nursery rhymes. It's so bad that we can't even sing along to some of the tunes. I come from a very musical family, and my husband is a music educator. This drives me BONKERS! VTech would have some knock out products if they could figure out the melody for these nursery rhymes!

The toy would have been fabulous except for the microphone shorting out. Now it makes this horrible, very irritating (for the parents) static sound. I may try to disable the microphone even at the risk of ruining the toy.

My granddaughters play with this only once in a while and the microphone shorted out almost immediately. Typical for made in China junk.

My 22 month old son has been playing with this since he was 4 months old. We have a second home and decided to buy a second piano for him to have at each house. He knows all the songs now and hums along. He has been using the microphone on it for over a year too. He enjoys turning the pages and pushing all the song buttons. I would have to say this is his very favorite toy. Batteries last a long time in it too!
