My 19-month-old grandson loves to push buttons. This toy is an adorable "computer" with lots of buttons to push, changeable disks for learning while playing, and easy to carry along.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice Idea, but Poor Quality, December 25, 2007

The Learning Fun Laptop is a nice concept. Unfortunately, it did not work out of the box. It doesn't recognize which card is inserted so it asks questions that do not apply to the scene pictured. Since others have had the same problem this just seems to be a very poorly made toy. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I have had much better luck with the few Leap Frog toys that we have.

I was so excited about this toy for my 16 month old daughter. She squealed with delight when she opened it at Xmas. Unfortunately, the thing only worked for about 1 day. Then it TRIED to work but would only get about half way through a word and stop... like the batteries were dying. We replaced the batteries (my husband even checked the batteries with a voltage meter and they're fully functioning) and it still doesn't work. Very disappointing. On the bright side, I called Fisher Price and they're replacing the toy free of charge, so we'll see if the replacement is any better.
