Fun toy wish it last longer
This toy was bought for a Christmas present (2003) for my 9 mth old son. It is a great toy and he and my other two children love playing with it. However, the sound and score screen went kaput already. I've changed the batteries twice (to make sure they were good) to no avail.

Fun and easy for baby
We bought this for our 10 month old for xmas and he has had fun with it. We have been impressed at how quickly he was able to learn how to put the ball in the basket - I think the toy is designed well. It can be set at different heights so when my son can stand on his own we can raise it up. Right now he sits next to it to make baskets. It has two "games": one that just counts off each basket you make up to 10 and cheers etc. The other counts how many baskets you make in a set amount of time. I only rated this a 4 out of 5 because throwing the ball in the basket only holds my son's attention for 5, sometimes 10 minutes. But I think it is well designed, doesn't make too much noise, teaches a motor skill, and is fun even if only for a little while. I would recommend it. ... Read more

Younger toddlers may not be able to handle big ride-ons, but this one was made with very short legs in mind. The scooter-shaped rider (raised handle bars, wide seat, and storage below for Teddy) is only 9 inches high; just right for tikes who can't ride trikes. Large, wide plastic wheels support the lightweight frame, which makes it a good support for wobbly walkers and pushers, or those less than 3 years of age. The cool factor: the handlebar-dashboard has a lever for blinking signal lights, a faint horn, and an ignition button that makes realistic "motor" sounds. Parental assembly, and 3 AAA batteries, required. Diane Beall ... Read more

Sending this back to Hasbro
I bought this toy for my 2 year old son's birthday. He has been riding his sister's Disney princess scooter, but I didn't buy him that type of scooter because I thought the Ride2Roll would be more age appropriate. Very disappointing. At two years old, he is already too big to ride this in car mode. The base of the scooter is not long enough for his foot to get on, and the wheels are totally useless. They stick to the axle, and slide around, instead of rolling. I wrote a complaint letter to Hasbro (Playskool's parent company) and they sent me a postage-paid label for me to send the toy back to them. It's in the mail...

without a box it couldn't be returned
My 20 month old daughter recieved this scooter for Easter from her grandparents. They were being helpful by putting it together at home before giving it to her. When she sat down she became very frustrated by the fact she wasn't going anywhere. She had the right idea, but the wheels don't move easily. The scooter part was evan worse. She pushed her heart out to barley move. It was a great idea, but not made very well. Since we didn't have the box we are stuck with toy. Her 4 year old sister didn't have any better luck. Don't buy this toy, it's a waste of money.

great toy for pre-schoolers
I recently bought this for my 20 month old granddaughter....I showed her how to use it as a scooter...and she picked it up the first time she used it. She liked having me change it from the riding toy to the scooter and loved the "horn, turn signal, vroom vroom" noise maker! I'm buying another one for my other granddaughter!

Son loves it, but wheels are horrible...
My son just received this scooter for his second birthday and he loves the sounds and playing on it. Unfortunately the wheels are a very slick plastic and do not work at all indoors. They slide across carpet and the hard wood floor without turning. I would imagine it would work fine in the driveway, but I do not know how long these cheap wheels will last on concrete. We've had it a day, and are seriously thinking about taking it back to Toys R Us.

Wheels are tough to get on....but do work
Just received this item as a gift. I will say that I would have not purchased it for my son, considering the bad rap that scooters have with young children. However, my son (who's one year old) really digs the electronic noises and loves to hold the handles to 'ride'. It is really low to the ground and can accomodate a young child easily. Although the wheels appear at first to not move well at all, closer inspection revealed that I had to place them on with a firm push to really click them into place and now it wheels fine - not too fast, not too slow. Set up is relatively easy, but bothersome with all the screws. Thus far, I am pleased with the item, and feel that the plastic is not flimsy in any way. It appears to be a well-constructed item. ...

fun and not too obnoxious
I purchased one phone for my 14 month old and it was very loud and obnoxious. I replaced it with this one and an much happier. My daughter can hold it easily in her hand and the sounds are not too long or too loud. I recommend it. ... Read more

So Close to the Real Thing...
I purchased these keys because they were made of metal and my daughter was not fooled by the plastic keys that we had tried to give her before.

She instantly took to these keys because they "clinked" like Mommy's and Daddy's. She likes to push the buttons to hear the honking horn or car starting. Now that she has a play car she even tries to stick her little keys in the ignition.

If your little one is fascinated with keys these are a must have. It'll spare you lots of time looking for your own!

perfect toy
We recieved this set of keys as a gift for my 2 all most 3 year old. and he just loves them. He tries to unlock doors with them and loves the beeper,car and horn sounds they make. He thinks he's like his dad now that he has his own keys. I think these keys were a great idea. now no more looking around for my keys because he has his own set.

The wonderful thing about fake keys
I have been in search for a set of play keys for my son. He loves keys. He wants mine all of the time and calls them his. He loves to act as if he is locking all of the deadbolt locks on our doors in the house, cranks his cars, etc... He thinks he is big time. And, me I do not have to worry about trying to find mine, wherever he happened to leave them. Or, want them but he is not yet through with them. OR, scratching up everything with mine. Because, with these keys you cannot. They were a life saver for us. My son will be two next week. ... Read more

Our Favorite Cash Register
My daughter received this for her 2nd birthday and it is one of her favorite toys still. She loves the light up screen and she enjoys "scanning" the fruit and credit card. We have looked at many different cash registers and this was our favorite. I have tried to buy it for gifts several times but I have had trouble finding it in the stores so it must be very popular.

Not for a 2 year old...or anyone??
Perhaps my daughter received this gift to early in her career, or perhaps it's just not a well thought out toy.

The biggest issue I have with The Magic Screen Cash Register toy is that it has about a 45 minute life span in both interest and durability. The concept is quite good and seems to be focused specifically on numbers and counting. The snazziest feature is scanning 1 of 3 fruits (a banana, apple or orange) on a scanner where it tells you how many fruits you have scanned. The big issue here is that is stops working properly and becomes quite annoying. Beyond malfunctioning, the toy really just looses its flair after a very short time of play because there is so little to do. I feel that a cash register that didn't talk and didn't scan would actually be more interesting because you could then be more creative with your child, instead of listening to the voice say the same things over and over.

For those that like cool looking toys, I'd say this fits the bill. It really does look nice and beyond the programming malfunctioning, the physical durability seems good. ... Read more

broke within 4 hours
I bought 2 of these for my 4 and 7 year old.Both of them broke within one day.The light won't turn on at all.We replaced batteries and bulb, still doesn't work

'Lite' up your life
Attention adults: Unleash your inner creative child with Hasbro's classic Lite Bright toy. In mature hands, and using the blank sheets, the Lite Brite becomes less a toy than a peg-lite canvas.

The Lite Brites I own have been used to put the following messages in `lights' such as "Happy B-Day", "Congrats", "Get Well", "You Did It!" "Happy Mom Day", "Happy Dad Day", or my favorite, "Happy, Happy," which says it all.

Actually, another favorite is the one I made for my sister and her beau to celebrate Valentine's Day. Not even Will Ferrell's Christmas Lite Brite blow-out display in the movie "Elf", can top that. See the Customer Image below the product picture for example.

Creative, imaginative and good value
Bought this for my six year old daughter and she gets hours or entertainment out of it.I like the idea of children being creative and using their imagination and this encourages them to do both.The only problem I have is finding where I can purchase additional pegs for it. ... Read more

Do Not Spend Your Money on This!
I bought this for my daughter thinking that she would enjoy this in the bath. It was difficult to remove from the box because of all of the wires and tape holding it in place. One of the suction cups fell of when I tried to attach it on the tile. There is a tiny cup to pour bubbles in - the cup is much too small to do that without wasting bubble bath. What a terrible waste of my money - I am returning it.

makes them want to bath
I purchased this toy for my 3 year old daughter--only because of the commercial, of course, because it was very pricey for what was included.
She really loves it and wants to take a bath now just so she can play with it. I suggest only buying this toy if your child really loves rubadubbers because the bubble blower and wheel are not interesting, but she loves the characters. I gave this toy a 4 because of the price.

Save your money!
I am so mad at myself for buying this! The commercial is very misleading. It makes you think the toy does and has a lot more with it than it does. It is made with flimsy plastic and is not easy to get it to stay on the shower wall. The paint on it was poor at best. It took nearly an hour to get it out of the box because of the wires, tape, etc. I only gave this item a 3 on the educational value because my daughter is autistic and has a terrible fear of bubbles and sitting down in the tub. It has helped us there. If it wasn't for that, this toy would be returned so fast! For all you other parents, though, I strongly advise not buying this toy. (Unless it gets marked down to a dollar!)

WASTE OF MONEY
I also purchased the item for my daughter because of the
commercial. This toy does nothing and my daughter played
with the toy for a total of 5 mins and lost intrest.
The only itme she liked was the whale because the water
shoots out the top.

My kids love it!
My two boys received the Rubadubbers Bath Set along with the other accessories as a gift. They love it! They can't wait for bathtime. Great buy! ... Read more

Fun and durable
My in-laws bought this as a gift for my 19mos old son and he has loved it from the moment it was open.He is really into things with wheels right now and he loves to push the cars around.We also purchased two extra cars that go with the set and he learned quickly how to open the big car and put the little cars inside or on top.There are also indentations on each car where the big truck can "tow" them. These cars are somewhat squishy, which is nice, and they are very durable! ... Read more

Tired of Batteries
I love the Lite Brite toy!However I have a few problems with the design of this toy.First, I actually prefer the old Lite Brites that use a power cord instead of batteries.My son loves to play with this, so we go through batteries quite quickly.With the old ones you were able to see the pegs light up as you created your picture.With this, you have to press a button for the toy to light up, and then it only stays lit for 3 minutes.It takes a lot longer than that for a 4 year old to create a picture so you can see why batteries are such an issue!I purchased this version of Lite Brite because all the stores were sold out of the cube, and they had no idea when they would receive more.This version's worst flaw though is that it is so lightweight, that when you try to push a peg in, the whole thing falls over.You have to prop it up against a wall, hold it with your other hand or something in order to play with it.This gets frustrating for a child (and the parent)!The screen also sits very upright, so it becomes uncomfortable when looking at it for an extended period of time.I wish I would have waited for the cube, although I'm not sure even that would solve all my issues with the new version of this toy.I gave it 3 stars anyway because no matter what, it is fun to play with!I think companies need to learn that you don't need to change classic toys in order to still make them fun...If it's not broke, don't fix it! ...

Toddler's own keys helps Mom hang on to real ones
At a year and a half, our daughter went through a phase where she wanted Mommy's keys ALL THE TIME. Enter this key ring, so she could have her own keys.
Good points:
- They have metal-looking keys that klink, instead of plastic obviously-fake keys.
- They're easy to handle
- The sounds and lights are fun during car trips.

Only downside: The sounds are very REALISTIC. Grandma's gone to get the door a few times when the door button pushed. Dad freaked out when driving in the car, she pushed the honking horns/traffic noise.

A tip: She didn't want to play with them until I pretended to use them on the car and the house. Once she thought they were "real" she was interested. ... Read more
