I do not recommend this toy - our daughter enjoyed pushing the buttons until we took it out of the box. The warning about the volume reducing once you take it out of the package can't be seen until you've already done so. And it's not a terrible idea - a lot of toys are so loud these days - but it's so low you cannot hear it. DO NOT BUY THIS TOY!!!

The phone would be nice for the kids to play with IF they could hear what Barney had to say and sing. The speaker is on the back of the phone, so it makes it look less and less like a real phone. My son does like the lights, and he likes to push the buttons, but he always asks me "where?" because he can never hear Barney singing or talkin to him when I tell my son that he is calling him. I wouldn't recommend this toy unless you don't mind your kids turning it into a throw toy or something worse.

My son received this toy as a gift just a few days after I read the reviews of the toy which actually made me put it back on the shelf at the store. The volume decrease when is taken out of the box but considering that my child is putting it on his ear every 5 minutes I considered the volume is just the right one. The only thing I'm kind of dissapointed is because it will scratch easily and the paint fade.

Don't Bother. You cannot hear any sound unless you hold the back of the phone to your ear. Even then, it is low.

I was so disappointed in this toy. My son adored this toy in the store and when we took it out of the box the volume of the phone drastically reduced! I changed the batteries and still it was barely audible. After much frustration, I noticed a warning INSIDE THE BOX AFTER YOU PURCHASE IT. IT STATES: VOLUME OF TOY WILL REDUCE AFTER REMOVING FROM BOX FOR SAFETY REASONS. How unfair. This notice should be outside the box, not AFTER you purchase it. I am so upset. My son already forgot about the toy and pulled out his barney doll that can talk to him & hear!

My son was so excited when we purchased this toy. After opening the package, the volume reduced drastically. My son got frustrated and went back to playing with his singing barney. After changing the batteries which made no difference, I noticed inside the packaging there is a note printed: VOLUME OF TOY WILL REDUCE SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN TAKEN OUT OF PACKAGING FOR SAFETY REASONS. I was furious, because that notice should have been outside the package! Not inside after you buy it. So, you can play with it at the store, but take it out of the box and you can barely hear it. I'm returning it today!

THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT NEW WAY FOR KIDS TO LEARN THEIR NUMBERS AND COLORS. MY KIDS TOYS DID NOT LOOK LIKE THIS ONE. THEIR'S WAS MUCH MORE OF A SIMPLY TOY AND DID NOT HAVE AS MANY LEARNING FEATURES ON IT. I LOVE IT FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN. BARNEY IS GREAT FOR ALL CHILDREN. THE PROGRAM IS GREAT AND ALL CHILDREN SEM TO RELATE TO HIS SINGING AND DANCING. MY GRAND DAUGHTER WHO IS 10 MONTHS OLD NOW REALLY LOVES HIM. SHE HAS BEEN WATCHING BARNEY SINCE SHE WAS ABOUT THREE MONTHS OLD SHE RECONIZES HIM NOW AND REALLY HAS A FIT TO WATCH HIM.

My son received this phone as a gift for Christmas. I gave had to return it because as soon as the phone is taken from the box the volume decreaed so low,I couldn't even hear it. My son loves Barney but showed no interest since he couldn't hear anything Barney was saying. I would not recommend.

I bought this phone for my daughter's b'day, it had good volume until you remove it from the package, hardly any sound at all, even if you hold to your ear, she lost ineterest in it the same day, too bad I threw the box out, it surely would have ben a return!
