VTechCall and Chat Learning Phone, Black

My kids have had 3 of these and they’re a must have in our house. My oldest got one when he was about 6 months old. He loved it so much that by the time him and his little brother were old enough to really appreciate them fully, one just wasn’t enough to have anymore. I had to buy a second one so they could both have one to use. They had two going for a while until the original one finally broke from being thrown around too much. It lasted then about 3 1/2 years though so that’s great for us since my boys are pretty destructive when it comes to their toys. I just bought another one and now they have two going again.I love these so much because they help with learning your letters and numbers. There are a bunch of little games your kids can play on it and it seems to have endless fun going on. The best part for me though is that it has a set of contacts being dad, mom, grandpa, grandma and a friend. You can input your own numbers for whatever contact and then they can pretend to call them and it says the number they’re calling. If you’ve input your own personal phone numbers, your kids can memorize your phone numbers. My 4 and 2 year olds know my number, their dads number and their grampa’s number! It’s a great skill for them to have in case of a real life emergency. Just for that reason alone, I think this is a great toy. There is so much learning potential with this and it stands up really well to being thrown around. I will he buying these as long as my kids show interest in them and for however long I need to as they end up breaking on us. So far though, having to replace just one in 3 1/2 years is a sign of great quality. A must have toy everybody!!

Love love its so cute and it talks my grandson thinks someone is on the other line it was a great gift because he always takes my phone so now he has his own

I have 5 grandchildren now from 20 to 2 weeks. This phone is very entertaining to the little ones. It's very durable and so far I've purchased 4 of them. I imagine when my youngest is ready I'll buy her one as well. It's a great purchase and is a staple toy.

This is a good toy for kids. I have a 2 year old nephew who loves playing with anything that has buttons and he was fascinated with the phone in my house. So when I saw this item, I knew it would be a hit. Excellent sound quality, has buttons for learning Alphabet and Numbers, and bonus buttons that say things like "call grandma". It's set up like an actual phone in that it has ringtone settings, has an operator (parrot) that talks, and the child can hang up the phone. He's enjoying playing with it.

Its perfect! For my 2 yr old grandbaby!

The toy itself is engaging. My toddlers love it. It’s just complex enough to offer simplistic button-pushing joy but also leave more fun features for them to discover as understanding and logic develops. Being able to actually enter your own phone numbers is a cool feature. I purchased two for Christmas.Here’s the thing - I’m very unhappy with how lots of toys supposedly designed for toddlers simply can’t stand up to the rigors of a toddler’s daily play, and my kids just aren’t that destructive. I would know - I also teach preschool. My kids haven’t had these phone toys for more than a month and one of the phones now requires me to smack it around in order to make it work properly. “Percussive maintenance” isn’t something I want to be performing on kids’ toys on a regular basis - it also send the message to them that they too should smack their toys around, except a toddler doesn’t possess the reasoning skills to know when it’s a good idea or not, and usually it’s not. It’s not just Vtech - all the brands like Fisher-Price, Baby Einstein, and Spin Master (Hatchimals, Paw Patrol) can be just as bad. (Especially you, Fisher-Price.)At this point, just figure that the more buttons it has and the more electronic it is, the faster your kids will destroy it. Keyboard pianos, tv remotes, phones - they all don’t make it more than 6 months at the very best.At between $10-15 US though, it’s doesn’t hurt as badly to replace as the $20-30 (or more) bigger toys.Oh, and the frustration-free packaging that Amazon offers is always a nice touch.

This was a gift for my grandson, and he couldn't put it down. My daughter says he's still loving it!

Ok, so after my 2 year granddaughter had called me for the millionth time, the last time was with the TV remote, I decided to buy her a phone of her own. I absolutely love this one! It has all kinds of sounds, music, etc as well as it charges like a real phone!!! She's already learned how to charge it herself, lol! I'm so happy I bought this little phone for her.
