My 4 yr old loves this, 04/27/2009
By Dole, IL
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

My mom bought this DVD player for my 4 year old for Christmas. It has recently stopped reading discs. I called Mattel and I have returned the DVD player to them and they have sent me a check for $150.00. I am hoping that we do not have the same problem with the new one. My son loves this product. He can use it by himself, which is great for me because in the car I cannot help him. We did buy the On the Go set which includes a car charger and headphones because the battery is only good to watch about one movie. My son would use the DVD almost everyday in the car before it stopped working. I would recommend this product with the warning that it is having some problems.

This is a piece of junk. We bought it, charged it exactly as it directed, and popped in a brand-new DVD----NOTHING! It wouldn't read any DVD's. When we finally got it going , it played for a minute then stopped. When I called Fisher Price, the sales person told me that these DVD players are just not working for a lot of people. It looks cute and I really wanted it to be great but.........

Extremely Poor Product, 04/05/2009

Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

Received this item as a gift. Within one week, it no longer worked. Fischer Price allowed me to send the item back, free of charge, for a replacement. Oddly enough, instead of replacing it, they sent me a check for item. I think that says a lot about the expectations of the product. Obviously, I'll be using that check on a different dvd player. By the way, if you research this item, you'll find similar stories of this item not meeting expectations all over the Internet.

Never written a review before but I can't say enough good things about this player. Have one for my 3 year old daughter and 5 year old son. They were a lifesaver on the plane and great in the car or just at home. Never had a single problem with them. I would recommend the travel pack that includes the earphones.

Do not waste your money on this DVD player! My mom bought this dvd player for my son at Christmas time....intended for use during a vaction in March. Well.... it's time to leave on vacation.....but before we head to the airport we need to stop at walmart. This DVD player needs to returned and exchanged for the third time before we even used it for it's intended purpose. We have had this specific one for only 2 weeks (never dropped and used on only 2 car trips) and now it doesn't even turn on. The picture on the screen was also very pixalated from the time we opened it. Very good idea for kids......too bad it doesn't work. I suggest buying a cheap portablr dvd player....I bought one 2 yrs ago for $50.00 and it still works....been dropped several times too. Worst product EVER!!!!!!!! Waste of $150.00!!!!!!!

This product is ok for using on short trips, just to keep the kids entertained. Otherwise, the battery does not last long at all (yes, you can buy a car charger), the sound quality is distorteed and mumbled, the kids can easily open the dvd compartment and take out the dvd... I could go on.. Not worth the money you pay for the quality of the merchandise you receive!!

Good while it lasted, 03/06/2009

Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

This was purchased for our 4 year old son for christmas. The picture quality and volume control were great. We used it in the car, while shopping, at home, and even used it at church-he wore the headphones then. A fully charged battery will last one normal length movie. We always keep ours plugged in, in the house or in the car, so it will last while we are away from a power source. Unfortunately, the headphone jack is loose after a month and a half, so we cannot use them anymore. And it fell off his bed this week and does not work at all now. The light blinks to show it is charging, but the screen stays black. I also had problems with a movie playing about a month ago. It was a brand new dvd and it said ERROR and would not play. So, I put the scratched and fingerprinted one back in and it played fine. No it was not an enhanced DVD so it should have worked. I also liked that it played CD's. My son can't read yet, but he knows where his favorite songs were located and arrowed right to them. I would recommend this product if you have an extra careful child who would never mishandle it or pull on the cords.

Not worth it, 03/03/2009

Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

For the price, I expected a lot more out of this. It's very tempermental as far as the reading of disks and it's only been two months and it's now broken. It won't read disks at all. We had a normal portable dvd player that only cost us 60 bucks when we bought it and it survived drops and use by our young kids better than this one did. It's sad because my four year old loved it while it lasted.

This DVD player is so neat. It is very durable and good for riding in cars or when your child wants to watch something different than what you're watching. Brand new movies sometimes freeze and then starts back on player, but otherwise value is good.

Bought this for my son's third birthday. He loves it - he can operate it himself! He takes it everywhere. It's been a lifesaver in restaurants, during hair cuts (he HATES hair cuts), and long rides in the car. The picture is great - much better than I expected in a "toy". It also operates much better in the car than several other portable DVD players we've owned. It doesn's skip or cut out the way they did. Now if I could just find someplace that carries the case and a second rechargable battery........

The outer shell of this product is very durable and sturdy, but my 2 1/2 year old likes to stick his fingers inside the dvd player and the components can be easily damaged. The screen is pretty small and doesn't hold his attention for very long. He may just be to young for the product, but a few times he has already made the thing freeze up, but we have been able to fidget w/ it and get it to work.

Good and Bad, 01/14/2009
By JarrettsMomma, Calgary, AB
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

My 4 year old son got this dvd player for christmas...he loves it! I on the other hand do not love it so much. The player does not open up enough to make it easy to put in the dvd nor does it come with the accessories required to really make it portable, you have to buy those separately. After only two weeks of use it stopped working. I too got the disk error message...BUT I got it to work again! Seems the laser inside slides back and forth and can be moved so the player won't play, by a child simply sliding it with their finger. I slid it all the way to the back of the unit, (it makes clicking noises as you do it) it WILL reset itself to the right position once you put in a dvd and close it. Dvd's will then play again, or at least ours did. I hope this helps those with the same problem. Overall not a bad product...kid proof? Not so much....

Not worth the money, 01/12/2009

Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

I have a 2 year old boy so I thought this product would be perfect for him. The dvd player was never dropped, and my son never used it without supervision; in fact, he was not allowed to touch it. I followed the charging instructions to the letter. Even with being careful, I have had issues with this product. The biggest problem is that it will pause in the middle of a movie and not be able to resume itself; I then have to turn the player off and back on then select the scene on which it stopped. I thought it was just one movie, but now it's doing it on all the movies. The other issue is that it is now starting to lose the ability to hold a charge. We have only owned this product for a week and a half, but I am returning it today. I am genuinely disappointed.

I was really excited to buy this product for my son, but as my son got a hold of it, it was easy for him to open and take out the DVD. This product in my opinion would be perfect if it wasn't so easy to open for little kids. Even with his favorite movie that he loves to watch he knows how to open it and is amazed to see the DVD go round and round. Other than that, I really love this product. It's very useful in keeping him busy, when I'm not trying to keep the cover closed.

A BIG Disappointment, 01/10/2009
By My2Darlings
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

I purchased this for my 2 year-old son's big Christmas present. It turned out to cause more tears than smiles. It would not play any DVD with a smudge...much less a scratch. It also had trouble with full-lenghth movies. My daughter tried to watch her brand new Sleeping Beauty movie and it was never able to scan the whole movie to play. The only DVDs that we actually got to play properly were the "freebie ads" that came with the player...go figure! :)
After a week of frustration, I took this player back to Wal-Mart and thankfully, they gave me a full refund. I then purchased cheaper $99 portable DVD player that has worked perfectly.

Bought this for my 2 1/2 yr old son right before Christmas only because of the price of the online special bundle. I would not have paid full price for this item. It has been good for car rides, that is really what I bought it for. The screen is really small, but big enough for one person. I also bought the on the go bundle and like that it can be used to watch the dvd's on a big tv as well.
