I saw the reviews and intended to buy two of them as gifts, incl. one for my near 2yo son. He loved playing with it at the store. But I was surprised that it looked like a cheap toy, not what I’d expect from Leapfrog (the online pic is much more slick looking). With that added to the poor quality sound, I just didn’t think it would make a good gift and I couldn’t justify the purchase for my son. Too bad because it’s a great idea.

I loved the idea of having something on the fridge to occupy my little one when I’m in the kitchen. He loves to stay in the kitchen and very interested in things on the fridge. However, this toy did NOT stay on the fridge so it killed the purpose. It seems that the magnets are not strong enough to carry its weight. In addition, my son likes to interact with toys. This one did not offer much because there is only one button that activates the music which makes it pretty boring for my son. The lights are fun to watch because they light up according to music, which I liked. But again, there is not much to engage little ones except for sitting in front of it and watching how lights changes to the music. My son is 11 month-old. For older boys it might be different. I would recommend visiting a store nearby and let your baby (and yourself) play with it to see if she/he would be interested in it. I returned it…

Enjoy the songs, they aren’t annoying. The color dots *help hold attention, but this toy isn’t fun for very long. I think the longest my son has played with it at once is 7 minutes.

I bought this radio as a last minute Christmas toy for my son who was 15 months old at the time. It was love at first sight.It was not only the hit of the day but the most enjoyable (for him) toy that I have ever gotten him to date. He carried it around with him most of the time rather than leaving it on the refrigerator but whatever works for him works for me. He loved most of the songs and played them over and over again. He knows all the songs front to back and it took him no time to learn which “station” to turn it to and how many times he needed to push the music button to get to the song he wanted. We also live on a second floor apartment and going though his throwing phase he tossed it of the balcony several times and almost 3 years later it is still going strong. Music, structure and magnet rise. While he no longer plays with it constantly I can tell you that he, 3 years later, still turns it on at least one a day. Anything that costs 20 bucks and lasts more than 6 months (entertainment wise) is well worth the money. I have read comments about the sound quality and loudness of the radio so I thought I would comment on it. The sound quality could be a little sharper but my son was able to learn the sons fine so no complaints from me. As for the loudness, I can hear it from any room in the house, any louder and it might be annoying rather than enjoyable. It would be a top choice for a gift for a child between the aged of 1 and 3.

My 19-mth old son received this as a gift for Xmas. At first sight, he loved it. He could hardly wait for me to get it out of the box. But after 10 mins of play, he tossed it to the side & hasn’t touched it since! I’ve tried to play with it in front of him to get his attention, but it didn’t work. I’m really disappointed, b/c he loves the other products (Fridge Animals & Fridge Alphabet) & was excited about it from the reviews.
If you want to get this toy for your child, I’d definately check it out at the store or play with someone else’s first.
