My 2 year old really likes to play with this toy and she has been using it to learn her ABC's. We do not watch the Barney show but she enjoys this toy and it seems to be educational! I did use the advise of a previous review and put tape over the speaker because it is very loud. Other than that, it's a great toy!

the microphone that was attached to it is not user friendly. my son is having a hard time pressing the button to hear himself on the speaker. I even tried it myself and the connection is really bad even if you press it good.On 3rd day, the microphone was no longer working. nevertheless, my son was having a good time singing along with all the songs. the pictures/design were well defined for my son to identify them.

My 18 month old son has always loved books so I thought this toy would be a good idea for him, and now...it's one of his favorites. I have to admit, I'm getting sick of hearing Barney everyday, all day long, but this is one of the few toys that hasn't become a waste of money and it's kept my son's attention for more than a week rather than collect dust. He now sings half of the alphabet song on his own, which I think is pretty impressive.

It took about a month before the microphone blew out but my son didn't understand that in order for it to work, he had to hold the button down while he talked into it. He didn't use it that much so it's no big loss.

The toy has been pretty durable for us. My son is going through a destructive stage and has thrown/dropped it many times, steps on it, and runs over it with his activity car and it still works (sans microphone).

like most reviews, the microphone shorted out within a week of use. when the music started skipping, i simply changed the batteries and the problem was solved. my daughter still loves this toy.

I loved this toy and so did my 2 year old daughter A and 10 month old son L. It was her birthday present.

But it seemed to not last that long at our house.

It plays great songs and has bright colored pictures and lots of buttons. Great learning toy. Happy toy.

Here are the problems:

The microphone part was awesome but it stopped working soon after A recieved it. Then Barney's voice and singing just kept skipping whenever she turned it on. That as you know is NO GOOD!!!My children may be younger but not that rough to break down that quickly!I'm sad and so are they that it broke so soon. Hopefully if you purchase it it will have alot of a longer shelf life!

Is a very fun toy,and educational too. But in only two days my nephew two years old used ,the toy dont work.

My 22 month old got this as a gift when she was 16 months old. She loves it and plays with it often. She has learned to sing her ABC's all the way through by playing with this. She does all of the Barney dances with it and puts on quite a performance. My only complaint is that the microphone shorted out the first week. Because of the short in the microphone, if we don't turn the switch off in the back when not in use, the batteries will run down (even though it's not in use). I'm buying another one, though, because it's her favorite, and I want to have a backup for when it dies -- which I think it will, very soon.

I found this toy to be loud, my son loves it and really enjoys bringing it along in the car and shopping. He received it as a gift. I don't neccessarily believe that I would have purchased it for 21.00 dollars, but am glad he did receive it because it's a hit for him at this stage. ( two and a half years old)

My 14 month old daughter loved this toy. She liked to turn the pages and press the barney foot to hear the different songs. But it broke after only a few months of use. First the microphone stopped working even though we rarely used it. Now the songs skip, play for a moment and then start over. I think I have to throw it out since its entire purpose was to play music. What a waste!

My 21 month old received this as a christmas gift. She loves it. She identifies the songs with the Barney tv show that she watches. She doesn't really care much for the microphone, but the toy overall is a great purchase if your child loves Barney.
