This is the second one I have purchased for my grandchildren. It is very durable and easily used by children who cannot read. The only drawback is the headset which does not amplify the sound adequately and that is why I rate the product overall as a 4 star. I had to purchase a different headset to get it to work properly.

My sister-in-law asked for this as a birthday gift for my 3 year old nephew as he always wanted to use her I-pod. He has been using "his I-pod" every day since he got it. Sister-in-law says it's easy to use and my nephew loves it.

My 2 year old son loves his new FP3 player. He wants to listen to it all the time - home, car, office visits, etc. It is very durable - he has dropped it many times since we received it. Downloading music is a snap! I would recommend this product to all parents who have kids that like music and stories.

We got my son this FP3 player with the hopes that he could use it when we go on trips, when we are in the car, at the store, hanging out at home... He loves to listen to music but we wanted to make sure that he had something kid friendly. He had the kid tough digital camera, so the music player was a logical step.
Pros:
1. The volume doesn't get loud enough to hurt their ears
2. The songs are seperate from the stories, so they are easy to find (book for story and music note for song)
3. Icons help the kids pick out their favorite song or story
4. very toddler friendly (big buttons, durable, and easy to figure out)
5. Battery life is great (my son listened to this most of the day and there was still tons of battery life left)
6. There is a timer on it, so after a certain amount of time it shuts off by itself (note: this is not a great feature if you are in the car all day and your child wants to listen to it constantly - you'll have to turn it back on a few times)
7. kid friendly, and comfortable headphones.
8. holds a very large amount of songs and stories without the additional memory card (but has room for expansion if needed)
Cons:
1. You have to use their program to upload songs and stories (even if it's on your computer already, you have to import it from a cd)
2. Their software doesn't pick up any album information so you have to know that ahead of time and be prepared to input it yourself
3. When the player is connected to the computer you are wasting battery life (I went through a whole set of batteries trying to to get songs loaded on to the player)
4. The vol. isn't loud enough to hurt their ears, but in a loud place it's not loud enough for them to hear
5. We have found that ours freezes up on occasion, we have to take out the batteries (and sometimes replace them) in order for it to work again
6. When using your own songs you have to create an icon for your child (the title of the song and artist name [or whatever information you input] shows up very small on the screen if there is no icon
7. There is nothing on the screen to indicate when it's playing or paused (which makes it hard for my son to tell if it's just taking a while or not playing at all)
8. there is a neck strap (which paired with the headphone cord becomes too much around my son's neck) but there is no clip to hook on his pants or anything, so he is left holding it all the time
Overall, this was a good buy, for a first music player. I wish we would have gotten a cheap regular one for him though. He loves it and still uses it regardless of the cons... so it was a good buy. I would suggest it for little kids who would use it here and there, and have no experience with any other music players. For the little ones who know how to work your music player, you are better off getting them a cheap mp3 player that will be easy for you to charge, and upload music.

I bought this toy for my son's 3rd birthday and it is a great present. He has older cousins' who have an ipod and now he has his own. Since he's received the fp3 player he hasn't stopped singing the songs that I have downloaded on it. The only drawback is that you have to download the songs and stories onto a cd if they are stored on your computer, then download them onto the fp3 player. The icons are really cool too! My son can scroll through the songs and stories and find what he wants to listen to.
