We have CD players for our little niece - bought - 3.5 years. The unit makes a solid impression and is easy to use. The sound is also alright. The cables of the microphones are possibly dangerous for young children because they are very long and can be wrapped around the neck easily. Apart from that I would buy the device at any time again. We are already thinking about our little boy - 1 year - a player to buy. He enjoys listening to music and for the nursery of the recorder is ideal.Dann However once out of reach of little hands. Safety first.
