I bought this radio/cd player for my 4 yr old daughter. Although she's not a "Barbie" fanatic, she loves the colour and the appearance of the radio. The barbie button that lights up on the top of the cd player is a nice touch too. The sound is a little on the "tinny" side, but still quite good, especially considering the small size and price of the boombox. Most surprising is the impressive sound clarity at higher volumes. Both the cd player and the radio are fairly easy to navigate. The boombox does not have station display, but instead uses a tiny indentation on the tuner dial that you rotate to select stations, which makes it a bit more difficult for youngsters to tune in a station. However, an LED will light up when a station is properly tuned in. The cd player will only play regularly formatted cd's (not mp3 or other formats). However, there is an auxilary jack that allows you to plug in other music players such as an mp3 player or Ipod. (This is a great feature for my daughter, who has hundreds of songs loaded onto her mp3 player).

Overall, a great product and highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed...., August 10, 2008

When I first got this boombox in the mail, I was thrilled. My daughter (who is 4) absolutely loved it. It's very cute and perfect size for a little one. However, within about three weeks the player just stopped playing cds. We believe there is some sort of problem with the eye. If you aren't going to use the cd player that much, I bet it would work great. But if you know you are going to use it quite a bit, I would look at something else.
