5.0 out of 5 stars An oldie but a goody, February 20, 2006

I have a picture of me 37 years ago with this same toy. At first I found it funny that there is still a rotary phone toy out there when it is doubtful that most kids have ever even seen one. It turns out it doesn't matter. Kids love dialing and this phone allows them to actually DO more than its fake cordless phone peers. Fisher price please don't stop making them.

This review is from: Fisher Price Classic Pull Toy: Chatter Telephone (Toy)

I was excited to get this toy for my baby since I remember having one and he is always clamoring for the real telephone. He even played with one that a friend's mother had saved from the 1970s and flipped out. But the "vintage" toy that came in the mail is nothing like the original. It's not made of wood so it has a very flimsy feel. My baby kept flipping it onto its back by accident. The strings -- from handle to phone and extending from front of phone -- are short. This may be for safety reasons, but you can't even pull the toy from a few inches away and a baby can't lift the handle to his ear without pulling the toy off the ground. You can't use it as a pull toy because it's probably less than 4-5 inches long. The strings are longer in the photo so I was especially annoyed. I bought two thinking that I would love to give this away as a retro-fun gift to another friend, but as it turns out, I'm too embarrassed to give it to anyone else. Very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who needs faux cell phones? This will win your toddlers over!, January 26, 2007

I loved this toy as a child, and our now-2-year-old twins love it.

Our twins love our cell phones (mine was ruined by excessive moisture), so of course, we wanted to buy toy phones for them. At first, we chose a toy cell phone, because we use cellular only (no land line), and our 1-year-old twins have never seen a rotary phone in person. Then I saw that this toy was again being produced, and we bought it for them on a whim.

The toy cell phone is well-liked, but this one is a lot more fun, with its colorful exterior, child-sized handset, and wheels. Our babies love to use the rotary dial; a motion not seen on many of today's developmental toys.

The build quality is excellent, and this toy can really take a beating. You can't go wrong with it.
