Barney Fisher-Price Musical Phone Toy

Great concept but volume is too low and not adjustable. I feel my daughter loses interest after a short time. She likes the lights. Maybe she will like when she’s a little older she is currently 11 months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took the phone to my granddaughter’s house on January 25, 2025 and had them help me test the phone-one is almost 2 and the other is almost 5. The colors on the phone are nice and vibrant and the buttons are easy to press. They liked the variety of voices/sounds-but I myself thought Barney’s voice was not close to the old Barney voice. They held the phone to their ears but the speaker is in the back of the phone which was hard to hear. They tried to press the green bubbles/circles at the top of the phone-but they are just decorative. I held the phone with my one hand and I think the phone should be slimmer for their little hands. If they use the phone with both hands-the speakers should be on the sides/front for better volume/clarity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The good: my daughter loves this phone! She especially likes the feature where it makes the “flashing” sound of a camera. It’s big enough to be more entertaining than other play phones she’s had while still manageable to carry with her. The less good: This was a nostalgic pick for me but Barney’s voice is not the one I remember from my childhood haha. It bummed me out but what matters is that it keeps my girl happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Barney’s World play phone is bright and colorful with lots of buttons for kids to press. There are ribbed grips on the side making it easy for a toddler to hold. Press a button and hear all the numbers. Barney even lights up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product is a music toy. Very colorful with lots of sound. Sound qas good. Not too loud for my toddler. My baby used it more as a phone. She pretend to call papa and her parents. Barney and friends music is joyful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fisher-Price® Barney's World™ Hey Barney™ Phone, is a fun toy phone to play with but there is no volume button and the volume is so low you can't hear it. We just push the buttons and play with it, but to hear anything from the phone you have to turn the phone around to the back and put it by your ear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Barney phone is absolutely adorable. It is vibrant in color and has lights and sound. There are plenty of options for different sounds, voices or music depending on what keys you press. My daughter loves this toy phone and it has actually held her interest longer than I thought it would. It makes a great on the go toy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Barney Phone is super cute. It is not to heavy and has a lot of "educational" features. I really like the size and the design makes it easy to keep my 2 year old grandson's attention. Really neat toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is so cute. It’s built heavy duty and the perfect size for my toddler to carry around everywhere. This toy makes my toddler feel like she has the real deal, she can take selfies and dial numbers. She likes to talk to all of the characters. My toddlers favorite feature of them all though is the inspirational song that Barney sings, she plays it on repeat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a totally new Barney character phone. The previous Barney voices and sounds are not part of this toy, and that is apparently welcomed by parents lol. This toddler gave the phone a two thumbs up, it kept her attention, and became her newest, best toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The big purple dinosaur, Barney, is back and better than ever for a new generation of kids. For ages 2+, it’s perfect for my granddaughter who is 26 months old. Dinosaur and buttons…a perfect combination. Barney’s World toy cell phone by Mattel has an updated rectangular look with buttons you can wipe. The thick phone is easy for little hands to hold. The phone has 60+ songs, sounds and phrases and lights up. And thankfully, an off switch. Included are 3AAA batteries. The phone introduces Barney and his friends: Baby Bop, Billy, David, Mel, and Vivie. Their faces are depicted on the buttons, plus buttons with music notes, hearts, stars, email, phone and camera. When you press a number, it is repeated. When you press that button again, then the character speaks. The phone is basic enough for a 2 year old, but I think too simple for an older child. I guess it’s me, but I find Barney’s voice annoying and not the clearest on this phone. I thought the raised green ovals at the top of the phone were buttons, but they were just raised so I guess for a tactile experience. My granddaughter did try to press them. Disappointedly, the phone does not do the alphabet or colors. My granddaughter likes dinosaurs, and Barney, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, is the most famous. I don’t know what he sounded like in the 1990’s-early 2000’s, but my biggest gripe with this phone is his voice. It didn’t seem to bother my granddaughter. This phone makes a good first phone, but if you have an older preschooler or a toddler who is advanced, I’d skip this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this to my two year old and it held his attention for maybe 5 minutes. It seems well made, has reasonable volume and has things to push to elicit sounds etc. The buttons are clear and easy to see. He had no trouble getting the device to work but age wise probably more suitable for a one year old

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I thought the sound was to low my grandson had a hard time hearing it. I thought it was very well made were it could take abused if dropped on the floor. The buttons were perfect size for little fingers. I felt there were enough activity's to keep little ones busy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gave this to my niece and it brought back so many memories of growing up with Barney and friends. She is 2 and absolutely loves it. She always wants the phone so this play phone was perfect! Love the different sayings when she plays phone talk. It also teaches numbers. And gets her imagination going. This product is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fisher-Price Barney's World Hey Barney Phone is super cute and fun! My toddler loves the bright colors and fun sounds. It keeps him entertained for a long time. I also love the new Barney design too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we got this phone in the mail I was excited to see my daughter’s face. I grew up watching Barney and was a big fan. We have purchased many pretend phones for our kids and this one is one of the better ones in my opinion . One thing to notice is it is very light weight. We have had a few that was quite heavy for a toddler to use and this one is very light weight. It is not very loud either was is great. It has bright colors and songs .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone volume is a little on the quiet side. This seems like a detriment at first, however, after some time with the toy, it’s both loud enough for kids to play with, yet not too loud when held to a child’s ear. It also has the added advantage of being less noisy for parents! Additionally, the buttons are entertaining and fun for little kids. The phone is easy to hold in the hands. The on off button is a must! It could offer more songs, but overall a nice toy for little kids.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is really excited about his toy phone. He was telling me to grab my phone because he was calling me. The buttons are a good size. The sounds are not annoying. The icons resemble something that the child is used to seeing. The camera button is my child’s favorite.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not engaging and very bland. Barney not something the kids are very interested in it seems. They like more realistic looking phones, tablets and electronics. This toy is exactly that, just a toy and they do not seem engaged.
