My child received this toy as gift. As other reviewers pointed out, the phone cord is too short, which most of us assume is due to strangulation concerns. (So why did they bother to put one?) One parent reviewer said she cut the cord which makes it more like a cordless house phone. I may do this, though we'll have to attempt to keep up with it, at least she can use it.
The pull-toy string has nothing on the end to keep it from fraying. Could they have tied off the end without putting small parts? I don't know. I tied a knot at the end to see if that helps. It seems strange to have a phone as a pull-toy, anyway, and it does nothing to motivate you pull it (no music, no flapping or moving parts like other pull toys.) I tried pulling it with my one-year-old, but it bored her quickly. She does like the plastic flip cards at the top, which sing when you change them, and she likes pushing the buttons. I would not recommend this toy as a pull toy or toy phone. You can find much better ones for your money.

My 12 Month old received this as a Christmas gift and was very excited to use it. The problem is that everytime he tried to put the handset to his ear, the whole phone had to come along with it....the cord is too short.

I understand that longer cords can be choking hazards, yet it has a VERY long cord that is attached to the front to be used to pull the phone along the floor. My child has never attempted to pull that cord (yet) and doesn't even pay attention to it. He wants to pick up the handset and put it to his ear.

So.....I cut the cord off the handset so it's free standing now and he loves it. Just have to watch to make sure it doesn't get lost. :)

I wanted to use this phone to teach my 3 yr old our phone number but there is no zero on it which is frustrating. Also, the cord is ridiculously short. I cut it because she would try to talk on it and the phone part would be hanging and swinging around. It's a cute idea, poor execution. I like Fisher Price normally but this was a disappointment.

While it catches the attention of all three of my children (1,3,4) the cord from the phone to the headset piece is way too short and it frustrates them more than anything. It is cute and fun like all Laugh & learn, and they do play with it often but overall it could be a lot better.

I just love Fisher Price toys. They are so well made and last a long time. Got the as a warehouse deal on Amazon. For $9 I am super happy. Phones can only keep a babys attention for so long but love the toy.

My 19 month old daughter is obsessed with telephones so her grandmother got her this as a Christmas gift. It's super cute but the handset cord is way too short for her to use as intended. When she picks the handset up the entire phone unit comes right along which defeats the purpose of the toy.

I am disappointed in this toy. The handset cord is way too short. Not the most entertaining toy my son has either.

The toy is ok and my kid likes it but when you turn the pages there is this weird unnecessary crunch sound. The phone cord is way too short and you have to pick the whole toy up to put it to your ear or your child's ear.

My son is 12 months, and he got this for Christmas. He loves it, and it entertains him for quite a while. My 3-year-old daughter actually loves to steal it and play with it too!
