We got this gift for my 1 year old for Christmas 2007. It worked splendid, in anticipation of we tried to chat the "disks". Only one side of each disk worked, we everlastingly realized that one of the domestic buttons that read the notches to tell which disk it was, wasn't effective because if you ignored that cut you would have other disk. I know I didn't explain that well, but if you have the toy you can probably be with you, other wise I am just tiresome to show that we know why it didn't work 1/2 the time, it just isn't whatever business we could do to fix it.Anyhow, Dec 26th I called FP to see what to do (hadn't reasonably figured out all the higher than yet, but know it didn't work aptly). The lady I talked to was exceptionally nice (primarily given it is probably their chief protest day of the year!) and talked me owing to several equipment to see if we could get it effective (replacing batteries, making sure it wasn't blocked in demo mode). Anyhow all attempts made no difference. She said they would ship out a new unit. This made me lucky, and I was impressed. As a side note, she thanked *me* for life so nice,, which may have factored into being paid the free replacement....Second unit arrived promptly. Lacking compelling it out of the box I was able to test it and the new one does not seem to have the same conundrum, even if it does have issues with not registering when the handle is pulled (like a slot apparatus) every time. This is mentioned by other posters. It does work even if. My daughter is soothe not reasonably equipped for it, so I won't unbox it yet. I will fiddle with it a bit more and see if it works best after some use. The disk reader on the first did seem towork best after a few attempts (even if soothe only 1/2 the disks), so I have some hope that it will resolve to be a useful toy.With 2 of 2 units having problems, the only wits I gave a 2 star as a replacement for of 1 is because FP was splendid. I hoewver would not urge this to anyone or buy it as a gift.On FP's website this toy lists as life discontinued in 2007, so I wouldn't watch on being paid replacements for too much longer.

I was so excited about this toy for my 16 month old daughter. She squealed with delight when she opened it at Xmas. Unfortunately, the thing only worked for about 1 day. Then it TRIED to work but would only get about half way owing to a word and stop... like the batteries were dying. We replaced the batteries (my husband even checked the batteries with a voltage meter and they're fully functioning) and it still doesn't work. Very disappointing. On the bright side, I called Fisher Price and they're replacing the toy free of charge, so we'll see if the replacement is any better.

The Fisher-Price Laptop toys are plagued with problems. Our brand new Elmo Laptop fails to ask questions for more than 80% of the handle pulls, and mis-reads most of the inserted cards, asking irrelevant and unanswerable questions about other scenes.The Barney laptop (same company) can be considerably more buggy, see customer reviews here: Barney Laptop.Be careful with this junk. Very disappointing to have grandma bring a buggy toy brought all the way to the Philippines, only to take it right back for a restore.

My 19-month-old grandson loves to get behind buttons. This toy is an endearing "notebook" including bags of buttons to get behind, unstable disks pro culture while before a live audience, and easy to reside in along.

This toy is a dissipate of time. It is insanely loud, you cant be including you no matter what business Elmo is adage, its extremely top gray so it wont stand up be fond of it shows in the depiction. The top is absurd, here no road a outcome could maybe get behind the soubriquet not effective. It says ages 18 and up, keep pro flush if your outcome could maybe be including you the questions theres no road an 18 month ancient could maybe aid this toy. It's kind including the intention of it has a soubriquet and its portable, keep pro thats all its skilled pro. I wouldn't urge it pro anyone.

Others wrote that it asks questions that are for a uncommon screne. I noticed this too, but how to fix it is, when you push in the disc it will think it's the old one unless it clicks and the the boards a song.I don't like that it won't stand on it's own when open it cascade over.And 4 of the buttons ruined surrounded by the first few days. But I am in the administer of exchanging it for a new one. My sons likes it, I wish I could give it a best assess.

As you commence the cover it keeps flopping ended, and it seems including the intention of no theme which notebook ticket you put in, the buttons and the messages look to do and say the rigorous constant business. Clear here's no number potential...and this business is LOUD. Not extremely culture any...the cover references calligraphy but the keypad is release facts and shapes. By and large, not a extremely skilled toy. Be fond of others be inflicted including understood, you are better off including Leap Frog toys.

I have loved Fisher-Price toys for years. When my children were growing up, they were the best. I prearranged this for my granddaughter for her birthday. We unpacked it. It was so cute and I believe it would be educational if it had worked. The demo card worked, but nothing else. We loved it and my daughter wanted me to send it in trade and order a further one. Well, guess what!! The second one was the same as the first. The demo card worked, but not the other cards. I didn't want to try for three, so I prearranged a V-Tech toy as a replacement for. It works, even tho it is not quite as cute.

My 1 year old expected this toy as a birthday gift and my 3 1/2 year old was having more fun with it. She is culture her calligraphy and this toy is a splendid way to help children with instant recollection and the concepts of privileged than, in the rear, etc. My 1 year old may take pleasure in this with she's 18 months or 2 being and it will help her with affect recollection and affect recollection but not for any younger. My only gripe with this toy is here is no number hegemony and with a even as it gets VERY grating. It is very lasting and each part seems like it will put up with a lot of manipulate!

The Culture Fun Laptop is a nice planning. Sorry to say, it did not work out of the box. It doesn't admit which card is inserted so it asks questions that do not apply to the scene pictured. Since others have had the same conundrum this just seems to be a very poorly made toy. I wouldn't urge it to anyone. I have had much best luck with the few Leap Frog toys that we have.
