Product Description
The Internet can be a nightmare for parents -- especially for parents with small children. Making the Internet a healthy, appropriate, and fun place for pre-schoolers, the Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad helps connect kids directly to the official Web sites of their favorite characters. Designed for children ages three and up, this launch pad is easy to use and safe for your kids -- and the family computer!
The Easy Link Launch Pad includes three popular child-safe and durable plastic figures -- Elmo from Sesame Street, two dinosaurs from The Wiggles, and a Fisher-Price dog. Each character works as a direct key to its own Web site. When Elmo is plugged into the launch pad, children are immediately transported to the games section of SesameStreet.com. Eight other familiar Easy Link character smart keys are available for purchase separately.
Because the Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad blocks access to other Internet sites, links, and pop-ups, kids can connect to these interactive Web sites all by themselves, without you having to worry that they're visiting other inappropriate or unsafe sites.
Kids easily learn to play games on their favorite Web sites using the computer's mouse and arrow keys on the launch pad. Setting up the Easy Link system is easy. Simply connect the launch pad to the computer's USB port and install the software from the included CD-ROM. Not compatible with Mac computers, the Easy Link Internet Launch Pad requires Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, or Vista; a 750 MHz processor; a USB 1.1 port, 128 MB of RAM, and an Internet connection.
What's in the Box
Easy Link Internet Launch Pad, CD-ROM software, USB cable, and three character smart keys.
Launchpad comes with three Easy-Link figures: Elmo, The Wiggles and a cute Fisher-Price character. Eight additional Easy-Link Figures sold separately. Measures 10.5"L x 10.5"W x 6"H.

No windows 7 support,
By Terrence Hurst (Irving, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad (Electronics)
In addition to only having a few characters still functional, launch pad will not work under windows 7. Fisher price claims functionality through windows vista though. Running it in windows xp/vista compatibility mode doesn't help.Fisher price website clearly states no windows 7 support. Comments all over the web state there are only a few websites/characters still working. Wish Fisher price would step up and continue to support this. It was a great product for a few years... Very few years. Amazon should stop selling this dead product.

Buyer Beware- Not all "Keys" work anymore!,
This review is from: Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad (Electronics)
My Grandchildren just love this system and I love that they can't mess up my settings. We've had this for about 2 years and I just recently discovered that there were more "Keys" than I knew about so I bought some more only to discover that they will take the child to a web site and not open anything! Great! A total waste of money. I guess Fisher-Price no longer supports these (Yet you can find them on sale. Even the Dragon tales Key that comes with the Launch Pad no longer takes you there!) Pretty crappy of Fisher-Price to do this. The web sites are still there and functional you just can't get there with the Launch pad so your child won't be protected by being limited to that site and can easily "wander". I would think they could have some easy updates to the software if they cared about quality and support! This was a great product- too bad they didn't support it! The only keys that I am finding still work are: Sesame Street, Fisher Price, Clifford, Arthur and Barney. The ones I know don't work are Dragon Tales, Wiggles, Little Einsteins, JoJo's Circus, and I've heard the other Disney Keys don't work either! Bummer!

Great toy, but some websites no longer work!,
By Jamie Zeser (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad (Electronics)
The Fisher-Price Easy Link toy is great! Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2008 and most of the Smart keys are no longer connect with the websites they are supposed to. I just finished speaking with a customer service rep for Fisher-Price, and here is a list of the smart keys that DO WORK: Fisher-Price dog, Sesame Street Elmo, Clifford, Arthur, and Thomas the Train. For the smart keys the DO NOT WORK: Dragon Tales, Bob the Builder, Disney Princess, Higglytown Heroes, Mickey Mouse, JoJo's Circus, Little Einsteins, Cars, Handy Manny, Barney,and the Wiggles. I really hope this helps because I would have been upset if I would have purchased them, only to get them and the sites not work.
