Would't Purchase Again
Toy is fun when it doesn’t fall asleep. Once it falls asleep an adult needs to turn the switch off and back on again to be able to play with it. It doesn’t wake up by pressing the buttons on the phone. My toddler looses interest once it stops playing sounds.

Good toy for toddler interested in tapping your phone
My 15 month old enjoys this toy and keeps her entertainedin car rides. It teaches numbers, colors and animal names but i wish that instead of the names that it would make animal noises.

My grandson absolutely loved this! He especially enjoyed the light up features. It looks like an I phone. Great price too!

Does not last
This product does not last - I've only had for 3 weeks and the volume no longer works and now when it is on it contstantly rings. Don't waste your money. It's so cute and I was in high hopes and my son LOVES it so I'm sad it doesn't work.

Finally my daughter leaves my phone alone! 🤣
I needed a phone toy to get my daughter to stop playing with mine hahaha. She absolutely loves this. It's really good quality too. It goes to sleep after a while to save the battery! Lots of songs and fun things for her to do

My baby loves it
I love that this resembles a real phone! My baby loves to grab mine, but he reaches for this one now! It’s really cutely designed too. There is a flashlight feature on it that works.

Could be better
Cute toy and idea. I didn't like it because I was struggling opening the screws to place the battery and also once it's on sounds are so low volume you can barely hear it.

Buy the phone!
Got this for my two year old and he is obsessed! Walks around the house with it and any time it’s not around, he asks “where’s phone?” If I didn’t know any better, I would think he was mocking me. Or is he? Anyway, I’m glad he finds so much joy in it!

Phone toy
I didn’t like how the sound was very low. Even if you turned it up, you really couldn’t hear it. Unless you brought it up to your ear.

The only thing that will get my child off my phone
We got this when my kid was about 9-10 months and it’s the only toy phone that will distract her from ours—it has kind of the heft and feel of a phone! It’s not as annoying as some other phone toys. My only gripe is that the auto shutoff is really fast! I’d rather it be that way than the other way around but she’s not always actively pressing a button
