We received this singalong CD player as a gift, and my two-year-old was immediately into it. But while singing along to a CD, the CD would stop playing in the middle of a song, for no apparent reason. Over and over. My toddler would stop, "More music? More music?" And after 15 seconds, it would start up again, and we'd start singing, and it would pause again. Very frustrating. Then the latch to the player door broke, so now it won't close. I can't believe how much this thing cost, now I have to tell Grandma and Grandpa their gift was a bust. And those short microphone cords are a pain. So is the feedback, which had my toddler running, crying from the room saying his head hurt. What a disappointment.
