I think that it's great that they design a new Hello Kitty CD player every year or so. The design on this one is great because it is bright and the plastic house itself is just more solid than the previous two.

However, it has some of the same flaws as the previous models. This boombox works well in a small room or when working in a small area. Due to the popularity of CDs, I didn't miss the cassette deck. I did think that this boombox was a little expensive considering the sound output and lack of cassette deck.

This boombox also presents a new problem. The CD is placed in the player vertically, instead of horizontally. If you don't snap it onto the wheel inside, it could damage the CD, so you need to be careful.

To increase the educational value of this toy, someone suggested getting karaoke CDs with lyrics books. It is a great way to introduce reading or to improve on reading skills.

This review is from: Hello Kitty Pocketbook Boombox (Toy)

I found my Hello Kitty Pocketbook Boombox at Target and fell in love instantly! The design of the boombox is super cute and very durable. I take mine to work, on picnics and anywhere else I need some music and Hello Kitty. I get many compliments and questions, so it makes for a great conversation piece.

I have a young daughter that uses it for her read-along storybooks and language CDs, so it certainly can be of educational use. I use it with my iPod so I am never without music. The carrying strap is very durable. The boombox has withstood some minor bumps nicely, but I would not suggest buying it for children under 4 or those that tend to be rough with their toys. Reception is okay, but the sound is pretty good for something so small. (...)

This as a great gift for the Hello Kitty lover in your family. It's very durable and easily packed to take on short vacations. The kids love it and my 3 year old easily figured out how to use it. The carry strap is a nice touch and the ability to pack the cord inside the unit is also nice for travel.
