My 2 year old son loves it!, 3 Nov. 2008

My son was given this when he was 2 by his grandma who forgot she had bought it for him when we was 6 months old!(She is getting a little forgetful...) Anyway he loves it! Despite the plastic buttons it is still very cuddly. There are lots of different tunes & phrases (American accent) depending on the combination of buttons pressed. The volume is low, which means it is much less annoying & more soothing for the little ones. Also seems to be very hard wearing & displays no damage or defects even after being affectionately flown accross the room a number of times!

Turns itself off too quickly, 2 Sept. 2009

My in-laws bought this for my son when he was first born. At 9 months old he's just starting to play with it as previously it was a bit heavy for him to hold himself.

There are 3 buttons which have a variety of functions depending on how many times it's been pressed, for instance by pressing number two it'll say 'two' or 'I'm a happy bear' or play a melody. It's great for teaching kids the basic 1,2,3. It has an English accent and it doesn't have an annoying voice like many other products on the market.

On the down side the centre part is all solid plastic so it's not very snuggly. There is a specific on/off switch and a time out auto-off function which is great for saving batteries, and it is programmed to play a melody a few times first to try and re-capture the attention but at 9 months old my son hasn't yet worked out the art of pressing a specific...

Good for babies young and old, 2 Dec. 2008

VTech Little Singing AlfieBought this for my 3 month old who loves bashing his belly and making it sing. He is too young to hold this properly himself (relatively heavy) but we have fun playing with it together.4 out of 5 as there are very few interesting toys suitable for babies this young, but it could be a bit softer in the plush parts. I don't think it's very cuddly.
