We had this CD player bought for our 2-year son, Unfortunately it was defective at the first time! He just did not play CD off! This unit we went but again ordered because it was simply the price / performance ratio is best. With the new equipment we have no more problems! Our son and his big brother have a lot of fun with it! The sound is for such a device also not so bad, because we had really expected worse after we had a few customer reviews read through! The instrument is very robust and therefore suitable for small children! The operation is very child-friendly and the little they have out in no time! The fun factor is huge !!! Conclusion: Highly recommended, especially for the little ones who enjoy to the Have music!
