2.5 Stars - Super Expensive All-Purpose Toy

I was a little confused when I first opened this toy and saw the words "Baby Phone Car" on the packaging. The description says "Light Up Piano Keyboard for Preschool Educational and Educational Games, Multifunctional Toy for Kids." It is said to be a car-shaped phone. This toy comes with a small screwdriver to open the battery cover. This is a really useful feature since most people don't have a tiny screwdriver. As soon as I put the batteries in and turned the phone (car?) over, I noticed a big button in the middle that said "English". At first I was excited at the prospect of this button, thinking that it means this toy supports multiple languages. It's not like this. Revain only allows one video so I decided to post a video of one of the songs. It's a song I've never heard of before, but after a little googling I found it's a very popular song taught to children learning English as a second language. It's called "Apple Round". Singing is fine. Sounds a bit like the recording was made in a tin can. The singer has a pronounced accent that is incredibly difficult to understand at times. When you press the "English" button, words that are spoken in English and are not very easy to understand will appear. Words and phrases like: Good morning, good evening, good night, I love mom, I love dad, but what about you (I just couldn't decipher any entry). The musical instrument button says the instrument's name (e.g. violin) and then plays a sample of that instrument. Straight on this button. Music only plays music, no words. The keyed piano part plays the song regardless of which keys are pressed. I can't figure out what the melody is, but at first I was amazed at how talented I was, but then I realized that it doesn't matter what keys I press, it always plays the same melody. The lights are constantly illuminated in different ways. . There's probably a way to go crazy with the light, but I didn't want to take the time to figure it out. This toy has a volume button and on the lowest setting it's hard to hear - which is nice. didn't think the whole toy rolled very well. This is a fake toy that was clearly not picked up by people who speak English as their first language. Don't get me wrong, I wish I could speak more than one language, but when you buy a toy that will help your toddler learn to talk and count, you need something that the person can pronounce and get the words right. There are better alternatives for less money.
