Review on ๐ŸŠ Portable Fun: Hasbro Travel Hungry Hippo Game Ensures On-the-Go Entertainment! by Josh Cooper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheaply made but fun; safe around kids!

As some reviewers say, it's cheap and the parts you press feel fancy, so I don't know how long it will last. On the other hand my 3 year old loves it. He is very fond of balloons and would look longingly at the full hippos in the shops, but now that a lively kid has appeared in the house I have told him that we are a long way from having balloons. I found this, and since the plastic dome keeps everything inside, we gave it a try. He's young enough not to bother playing the game properly (which I think would be difficult; things spin a lot and it's difficult to keep the game steady itself), but he likes to chew marbles and it great fun when traveling or when he's sick and stuck on the couch. I wouldn't recommend it for older kids who like to play with rules and real competition, but with younger kids it's just fun to play with.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
