I mean REALLY wants one - you know those electronic thingies - completely been suckered in by the advertising. She wants the disney princess version Hmm. All I can read are rubbish reviews - are there any decent versions or are they all crap. Am I just gonna have to suck it up and buy it knowing it'll probably break within 2 days..

I don't think it will break... but it doesn't recognise the voice very well. DD has one somewhere in a pile of crap . She had heaps of problems remembering the exact tone of voice she used to set the password and got frustrated with it very quickly.

And I could make it open by squeaking in a childlike voice which really pissed her off :o

As long as you're prepared for this, you should be ok Wink

They are shite. Luckily I picked up one in a charity shop. Probably because it was shite.

Try eBay.

Yep, look on ebay. And keep a biro handy to press in the reset button when she can't open it.

They are total crap. They're also the toy that she'll remember for ever if she doesn't get one.

Dd never uses hers (takes too long to persuade it open) but she still loves the fact that she owns it!

DD wants one as well. She "wrote" her christmas list for Father Christmas at the weekend (nothing like being early !) and the diary was the only thing on it. It looks like shite pink plastic tat to me but then I'm not a 4 year old

my dd has had 2 of them and both were total and utter rubbish - it obviously didn't understand our accent and no matter what password we gave it it would never bloody open!

bunnyspoiler · 04/10/2011 19:47

there is a hello kitty version that works on a code you input. it's unbreakable and very cute. The barbie one opens with a magnetic bracelet, that also works fine.

The one she wants isn't voice activated so thats a bonus Hmm I think I might farm it out to a relative.

wheredidallthepuffinsgo you're right she'll remember it forever and end up nostalgically buying one on ebay for her dd in the future - so who am I to deprive her of that experience Wink

I think every child should have the opportunity to learn that not all toys are as good as they are presented on the adverts. And have at least one toy that their parents think is utter rubbish!

Tillyscoutsmum · 05/10/2011 10:56

I agree girlywhirly. Mr Frosty anyone ??

Appuskidu · 05/10/2011 14:21

We have the HSM musical one which recognises a code-DD loves it!

Right with you on the Mr Frosty bitterness, Tilly!!

Which princess one doesn't need a code-I think DD2 would like one of these! Could you post a link?

Tillyscoutsmum · 05/10/2011 14:44

this is the one dd wants . I'm pretty sure there's no code

DSD has the HSM one as well ... and loves it. I have the stupid song stuck in my head constantly Smile

Appuskidu · 05/10/2011 15:10

Hmmm, I can't decide between that and this...
