2.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't buy it again..., October 10, 2000

This review is from: Barney (Toy)

I bought this Barney for my one year old son. While he recognized the "I Love You" song immediately, and his little face lit up, Mommy is disappointed with Barney.

Barney has a "pouch" concealed in his behind, held together with cheap velcro, where the music box/battery pack lives. Problem is, the velcro consistently keeps coming undone, leading my little one to reach inside for the battery pack. Though the plastic pack has the protective little screw so he can't get the batteries out of the box, the box has holes in it. Little ones chew--and drool--on anything they can get to their mouths, and voila! My little guy managed to douse the batteries with drool before I got the box away from him.

Also, the pouch inside Barney which holds the aforementioned music box/battery pack is a poor fit. Sometimes you press Barney's heart to hear the song. Sometimes it's his ribs. Sometimes it's his stomach. Yet other times it's his back. The toy seems to frustrate my 2 year old niece because she can't figure out how to get Barney to sing.

All said, I wouldn't buy this toy again. Maybe there's a better Barney out there?

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect Barney toy, November 14, 2001

My daughter is 18 mo. old. She is just starting to really love Barney. SHE picked this toy out, herself. It's very plush and cute. When Barney sings his song and says "a kiss from me to you", she kisses Barney. I didn't even know that there was a velcro closing in the back for the batteries, so therefore, it must not be so bad. I recommend this toy to every parent that has a child who loves Barney.

This review is from: Barney (Toy)

Before Lydia came alone, my husband and I were (dare I say) Barney Haters. We could not fanthom the fascination with this big goofy dinasaur.

Now my 2 year old watches the show, and I don't know what I'd do w/o him. She *adores* Barney. She sings along, dances, and learns things.

To the point:

I bought this toy because it played the song "I Love You" and Lydia really likes singing along with that.

Pros:
1. She loves Barney
2. Plays the song she likes and recognizes most.

Cons:
1. It only plays one chorus of the first part of the song for every push.
2. Button should be where the heart is instead of under it. She's managed to push it on her own a few times, but it's mostly me pushing it.
3. Could stand to be a little more plush and probably about 4 inches bigger for better squishy-hugability.

Even with all the cons however, I don't regret this purchase. It needs work, but Lydia still likes it, just not as much as she *could* like it.
