4.0 out of 5 stars Does it amplify or doesn't it?, October 27, 2008

I was very confused reading the reviews (doesn't amplify) and the product description ("really works" "amplifies"), so here's the scoop:
When you press the green star, it works like a microphone, it amplifies. When you push the yellow record button, it amplies as the kid records his voice. When you use the music button, however, the music plays through the speaker and therefore it can't amplify the kids voice also. Doesn't seem to bother my kids.
Regardless, the best part of this microphone for my son (4) is that it records his & plays his voice with the easy push of two buttons. That's what he uses it for all day long and loves it. It is quite pricey and doesn't look like an expensive toy, so I'm not sure about giving it as a present, but it's a great buy for your own kids. Update: Target carries these now at a discount.

I bought this for my son a year ago, when he was about 2. He loves it! He does a cute little "rocker" dance and sings skip to my lou. He's taken it to his school, and his friends (up to age 6) love it, too.

I like that:
-It doesn't amplify. I know that's a sticking point for some, but I think the less noise, the better. The kids don't seem to care. Also, the overall volume of the mic is appropriate for kids, not too loud.
-It records. This is a cute feature, and very novel for the kids.
-It isn't "commercial." I was looking for another one of these mics at Target for one of his friends for her birthday since she loves to play with his - couldn't find it, could only find Hannah Montana and other licensed stuff. I prefer to keep the expensive licensing stuff out of our lives for as long as I can (realistically, I know it isn't long - but I'm enjoying it while it lasts).
-The songs can be slowed or sped up - good for younger kids still learning the words, and fast is good for older kids goofing around (includes Skip to My Lou, If You're Happy and You Know It, London Bridge, and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes).
-Buttons easy for kids to use, batteries seem to last.

No real drawbacks I've seen, and we've had it awhile. Seems sturdy. Should be priced around $15, I think that's what I paid but maybe I caught a sale.

I gave the Sing-Along Mike to my granddaughter for her third birthday. She was thrilled with it and abandoned all her other gifts to play with it! Before I wrapped it I recorded a short message to wish her Happy Birthday and she was very surprised to hear my voice when she pressed the button. She quickly learned how to play the music and sing along to the familiar songs. She also picked up on how to record and was singing and conducting interviews right away.

The package was shipped and I received it in a prompt manner. It is well made for the price, battery is easy to insert, no small pieces to deal with, easy to store and play with when the mood strikes.This gift was a hit!
