Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Ecotronic Toys are planet friendly techno fun. Did you know there are billions of batteries sold in the US every year - many of them for toys - but only about 1% of them are recycled? The rest end up in our landfills and are poisoning our planet. The world's resources are diminishing quickly and we can't afford this kind of waste, financially or ecologically. But you know what? Energy doesn't have to cost anything. Ecotronic Toys bring electronic lights and sound to toys without the need to use traditional batteries. How's that work? Part of the fun of Ecotronic toys is actually bringing them to life. Give it a shake or wind it up. The energy used to perform these simple motions gets converted to electrical energy by dynamo technology. This is then used to power the toy. The best part about Ecotronic Toys - they never run out of juice.

This review is from: Ecotronics Eco Boombox (Toy)

My one year old got this as a gift for her 1st birthday. She usually loves musical toys, so we let her have this toy right away. She had a great time watching us wind the back for about two minutes. She was clapping her hands with her eyes wide open. The actual toy was quite a let down. The music volume is very low. The largest button is the "radio" which just plays static (like when you are between radio channels). The buttons don't always work. The toy only lasts about 15 minutes after a 2-3 minute charge. I also broke my thumbnail off while winding the toy.
