Review on Vibrant Yellow Creative Playthings Telephone: Sparks Imagination and Fun! by Ellen Chase

This item was purchased as an accessory for my daughter's outdoor play tower. She loves faking conversations with people on her phone, so I thought she'd enjoy pretending to call her grandma and mom from her playset. I was right, she is a big fan of this accessory. Easy attachment with a single screw, so be careful not to over-tighten as a rubber grommet is used for attachment (which breaks quickly and easily if you use a drill, so it's best to use an old Phillips screwdriver instead). Otherwise very easy and quick assembly. It looks decent but not the best quality, it should last for a season or two. The only problem, at least for me, is that the phone "walks" off its base since it doesn't have a cord. Other reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with this omission. However, I could see that the cable posed a potentially serious/fatal safety issue when used in a playset. Typically, gaming phones have very short cords, which can create usability issues depending on the type and location of the installation. Additionally, the presence of cords also contributes to a significant risk of strangulation when used in outdoor playgrounds, particularly when mounted on an elevated tower platform that is 5 feet or more off the ground. Overall I think this is a good product that would go well with any kids outdoor play set.
