CD player for childs room

[Skyler]

I want to get dd a CD player for her 4th bay so we can listen to some story cd's together etc. (We have been given a lot). Any recommendations. I would prefer not batteries as think that will cost a fortune but would a plugged in one be safe?? I think yes but what don't I know??
TIA

Ahem b'day

I got one for dd (7) from Tesco, 13.00 and it's great, has a tape player as well and plugs in. Don't think you need to spend a lot. There was alos a pink one in Woolworths for 20.00 which was very sweet but none in stock when I wanted one.

no less safe than a light?

my daughter has one and loves it. No safety problems as yet...

Oh great, sounds like it should be easy to find one then. I haven't even looked yet, apart from seeing the ELC one.

DD has has a plug in Sony CDplayer in her room since her first birthday. Been no problems at all. At 4 she now uses it on her own and plays music when her friends are round to dane to and occasionally listens to story tapes for quiet time.

I think at 4 she knows not to touch plugs etc so I think a plug in one will be ok.

Oh thanks Hula too, x-posted there.

Watch out if you go for the ELC one - it doesn't come with a mains adapter and the ELC one was discontinued when I tried to get it.

DD got the player for last Christmas and I finally managed to find a mains adapater at a cost of £11.99 the other week - the one ELC used to do was only £5!

Thanks for the tip Alien.

DONT GO FOR THE WOOLYS ONE DD HAD ONE AND CD FUNCTION BROKE!

Whats with the caps! OOPS! Also her friend had it too and same happened.

DD got a pink one from Woolies @ £19.99 & it is going fine She loves it, it is really easy to work. She is 5 & I read to her most nights, but the nights she just wants to cosy down I out on a CD & she lays & listens to it herself. I don't have TV's in their rooms but she can listen to whatever she likes on her cd player

If you do have a TV in their room then why not just get a DVD player instead. Most of them will play CDs as well. My DD got a DVD player for christmas and was chuffed to bits when she found she could listen to music on it too. Now that DVD players are so cheap its a good way to do it - one less piece of kit needed.

DS got one for Christmas when he was nearly 4. It is a Phillips and dark blue, still going strong 2 years later. Only wish we had gone for one with lower volume levels....

I went into ELC last week for one. The one they have is £34.99 and the mains adaptor is £12.99!!!!
I told the guy that that was crazy, who would spend almost £50 on a CD player for a 3 year old, and he completely agreed with me.

for what it's worth

I got one for £11.97 in Asda

Thanks all,
PPH - I have to agree what a crazy price .
I will have to go shopping and try them out I think. I have some good ideas now though thank you.
