Vtech baby console for tv........

[strawberriesandcream01]

DP thinks we should get our soon to be year old something educational for her birthday. I want to get her rose petal cottage but came across these games console things you plug into tv. This one is up to 3 years old and then there is an older one. Does anyone have reviews on it, waste of money?

i have one i got for dd2 at xmas she likes that she presses a button and something changes on the tv. she is 14 months she doesnt understand any of the games but sits gigglong for ages and hammering the buttons to make things move on the tv.

Don't know about this product but at the age of 1 everything children do is "educational" in a sense, I would think "will she enjoy playing with it now?" not worry too much about it being educational.

I know! She has most toys though, kitchen, prams, dolls etc! I just dont know what to get her and saw this. Want to read some more reviews though as still not convinced. Also I am worried as she will be infront of the tv playing it.
