Power Touch Baby Reading System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After doing some research, I bought this toy for my daughter who is 15 months old. I chose it over the Leap Pad product because it is said to not be as easy to turn off, and the pages are sturdier. It also seems like there are more things to touch and hear about. My daughter loves looking at picture books, and is constantly pointing to pictures and touching the pages. I thought this would be great for her, as it would provide some sort of verbal output to her curiousity and interest. I was disappointed, however, that the book doesn't attach to the unit very well, making it easy for the child to take out. My daughter just wanted to hold the book on her lap and look at it. Maybe its just not the toy for her. As with other reviewers, my daughter touches the pages in an attempt to turn them, and the voice just repeats the same syllable over and over. I realize with this age group it is difficult to always design toys in the way they will be used. I was surprised that Fisher Price put a "notice" on the inside of the package (not visible on the outside) stating the unit works best when laying on a flat surface (not on a child's lap?)and when touched with only one finger at a time (a six month old may not even be physically able to point with one finger). This would be helpful to know BEFORE buying. We are hoping my daughter will get the hang of it and not become so frustrated soon. I'll give it a week or so, but I'm leaning towards returning it.

Play TV SSX Snowboarder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is amazingly addictive. It was a whole-family Christmas gift and was the hit of the season. Everybody took a turn and most of us spent many hours on it over the week. It provides a lot of fun not only for the rider, but for all others who watch and cheer along. From the 4-year-olds to the grandparents, all had a blast.
The game is pretty simple, the hard part is learning how to work the controller and pull off tricks. Its one of those things that's easy to get started, but hard to master. There are a number of courses and three characters to keep things interesting. We mostly did the half-pipe which seemed to be the most fun.
This thing is built, as they say, like a tank. You use your back foot to control turns and you lean forward/backward to control your speed. The weight rating is something like 240 or 280 -- we had a number of grown-ups that pounded on it, with one in particular that jumped on the board like a maniac. It really was impressive that it didn't just crumble to bits under the punishment. (You can imagine the enteretainment that provides.)
This is a great game for groups to gather round and have some fun. Its also a whole lot more active than your typical console or pc game. You can certainly work up a sweat playing. Get this game, get on and give it a chance. It takes a while to learn how to control the board, but you can do it, and once you do, you really get hooked.
