Beep Beep Beep!

Advantages: Durable fun and educational
Disadvantages: Annoying to adults!

...Vtech Turn and Learn Driver VTech is one of the biggest creators of electronic learning products for young children and have been established since 1976. They boast that they provide high quality, innovative and educational products for children from birth to pre-teen which helps them learn by having fun. When I hear the name VTech I immediately think of safe fun toys that may be suitable for my daughter and nephew (and niece when she is old enough!) so when my daughter got brought this Turn and Learn Driver for Christmas last year I thought it was a great present. BEEP BEEP The Turn and Learn Driver toy takes two AA batteries which is in a safe screw open compartment on the back away from little hands. The toy itself is quite a chunky toy and a little on the heavy side for really young children, though if they are playing...

Review of VTech Turn and Learn Driver

BEEP BEEP

Advantages: Ideal for learning numbers
Disadvantages: none

...When I was a child one of my favourite games was playing shops. When it was my daughters birthday last year I got her the Early Learning Centre Electronic Cash Register. The ELC electronic cash register is suitable for children of 3 years and above and costs £15.00. It requires batteries, which are included. The till has a real calculator built into it and a scanner. It comes with plastic coins and paper money and a credit card. It is very brightly coloured as it is made of orange, purple, green and pink plastic. The keys on the till are set out and numbered like a calculator and are a good size for little fingers. There is an on and off button, a large plus button, a total button and a cash button. The keys all beep when they are pressed and the amounts are displayed on an easy to read screen. A large open button opens...

Advantages: loads
Disadvantages: none

...Traffic Giant is a game for the p.c., which is similar to Sim City and Theme Hospital/ Park. The aim is to reduce traffic pollution in a big city. It is quite addictive and it does take a while to complete it but you never get bored of it. The only bad thing is, is that there is a limited choice of vehicles and you do not get a lot of money to start with. The music is a down side to the game as all you hear is a simple sound track and horns beeping. It is worth buying....

Beep beep!

Advantages: features are good
Disadvantages: fitting to buggy etc has limited adjustments

...Once my son was in that pushchair part of the pram the activity arch he'd previously used didn't fit so I went on a mission to find something else to attach to the pushchair to keep him entertained. I saw this in store and thought it looked good, colourful and noisy therefore very attractive to children! Once we'd both had a quick go in the shop I decided to purchase one. It has a moveable steering wheel which is easy for little hands to turn, with a beeping horn in the middle, there are two small mirrors one on each side, a couple of small lights that flash when music activated, one lever that makes a different noise each for forwards and backwards, 2 buttons that play a couple of different tunes. The 'key' turns it on/off. It fixes to the buggy with screw clamps which is where my negative point of the toy comes in, it only...

BEEP BEEP

Advantages: keeps kids amused for hours
Disadvantages: noisey!

...are also four large yellow buttons that correspond with the vehicles, fireman, bus conductor and train driver. These buttons when in mode 2 also play tunes, to which the 3 traffic light lights flash in time to. There is a large, bright blue key to turn the toy off or to modes one or two, this key can not be removed so it is not a choking hazard. The best thing for James about this toy was the gear stick! When pushed forward it makes a revving noise and he used to really go to town with this, when pulled backwards the toy beeps as is reversing. The toy is light and transportable, James always took his in the car wherever we went as it fitted nicely on his lap. He even got into using the horn at appropriate times ( not that I use mine an awful lot you understand!), which gave me much amusement! The toy takes 2 AA batteries, and do...

BRMMM, BRMM, JUST BEFORE I EAT MY DINNER

Advantages: Great little toy to keep baby amused for ages
Disadvantages: doesn't stick to m&p's highchairs

...I first came across this steering wheel at my Sister In Law's house. M was playing with it for ages, and me being me, presumed it was from Toys R Us, and spent weeks going to shops looking for it before taking the plunge and asking Sister in Law where hers was from. She said it was a freebie with her Highchair from the Mama's and Papa's shop. I decided to investigate via the website and came across the Beep, Beep Steering wheel. The bottom is a blue rubber which is shaped to fit onto the table of a highchair. There is an orange roundish ball shape. This has 2 levers, 1 green with a red mirror on one side and a yellow lever with a blue rounded top like a gear stick. The steering wheel, is mostly green, and the two area's on the side for the hands to hold on to it are yellow. The top of the steering wheel has a green light...

Review of Peppa Pig Push 'n' Go Car

The colour changing beep machine

Advantages: rapid boiling , feature laden
Disadvantages: unreliable....refuses to boil anything after about 2 months !

...boils the colour through the windows changes from blue when cold to red when boiling . In total there is a six colour sequence . During boilingthe on/off switch is illuminated red . 2) Keep warm mode :- whilst you push the on/off switch down to boil water , once boiled you can lift the switch upwards . At the point the kettle stays illuminated orange and the switch is illuminated blue . The ketle then keeps the remaining water at 80 degress c. . 3) Built in speaker :- this sounds once when the kettle is placed on its base . It also beeps once when you press the on/off button and it beeps three times once the kettle has boiled fully. It is audible without being overly loud . So there you have a decently priced kettle , feature full , reliable and a greating talking point to those who see it for the first time. Well worth investing in...

Review of Kenwood SJM 350

A *Beeping* Ace Tennis Game!

Advantages: Individual competitors, difficulty about right, challenging and rewarding
Disadvantages: Graphics not great, sound emulation problems, inconvenient controls

...Sadly I might never get to play this against someone never mind in 4 players. PRESENTATION What looks like an American football player as chair umpire and an audience who wouldn't pass for as people stay static. Your player is solidly shaded whilst your opponents appears as an outline. But each of your competitors do see to individual character sprites, with those higher up in the rankings having an avatar if not a unique theme tune also. There are three types of surfaces which not only look but play differently. And whilst the ball does not bounce true off the walls, an opposition overhead smash can see the ball get to quite a size as it comes close to the 'camera'! I wouldn't say the view provided is always perfect, but it's no problem after a while. Whilst I feel those who think the Game Boy audio is just beeps should just...

Review of Top Ranking Tennis (Game Boy)

Beep Beep Beep Beep

Advantages: Very friendly people, excellent cusine
Disadvantages: Haggling, Poverty

...;. Luckily, we happened to land on the night of August 15th, which is Indian Independence day. This meant every guard was by default in a good mood and let everyone past without any hassles, harassment or questioning...PHEW!! Once we were past this bit we were free to leave the big hot airport as we pleased. Another recommendation. DO NOT make the mistake of visiting the loos. EVEN if you are fit to burst. The god-awful smell or nasty people you meet in there will knock you out! The doors opened and....BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! Taxis and Cars all honking away trying to get past one another! I was totally overcome by the noise and probably looked pretty shocked too because my dad quickly explained that this is how transport in India is driven! I quickly became immune to the noise (and the smell of rotten eggs) and followed my brother and dad...
