Boring!
The plane just goes around and around. That's it. The child doesn't even have to press the button the entire time - just once and that's it. It does NOTHING fun. You can't build the track like regular Geo Trax. It doesn't even connect to the other tracks in the system. It just goes around and around. It's lame, especially for the price!

Girls can play with Geotrax too!
My 5YO daughter is a girly-girl through and through. She loves lipgloss, princesses, babies, and all things pink. But since she was 2 she has also loved Geotrax. We recently added the airport to her collection this past Christmas and she has really enjoyed flying the airplane. The whole family plays Geotrax together! I love this product, for boys AND girls! :)

Thank you for flying jet blue!
My son received this for Christmas and absolutely loves it. It was very easy to put together, the pieces all snapped very easily into place and the instructions were actually useful. My Son loves to leave the cockpit open and see if the pilot will fall out (he's a boy), and he does all kinds of "airport" play with it, right down to the "We know you have a choice of airlines and appreciate you flying with us." I totally recommend this to go with any Geo Trax you already have.

Could be great, but...
My son got this for his 2nd birthday and he really does love it but there are a few issues with it that are quite frustrating for both of us. First, we added the bridge to it and the track doesn't bend quite right no matter how I adjust it so the airplane gets stuck and makes a loud clicking sound. It had that issue in two spots. The other is that the track lays too low in some spots where the weight of the plane drops down and it gets stuck on the floor and again you have to push it to keep it going. The final issue is that there is no off button so it sits on forever before it turns off and goes through batteries like crazy. I would not even think of buying this again. It's too bad because it's a really cool toy that needs some reworking. We've had it for 3 months now.

Great aeroplane for kids
It is great fun for 4-5 year kid and they enjoy it for a long time. The toy is very robust and would last long time. Though remember u need to spend on the battery.

FP Digital Tough Digital Camera
We bought this camera for our 5 year old grandson. He had all the buttons figured out within a matter of minutes and even his 3 year old brother had it figured out in no time. They have enjoyed it and love taking pictures with the camera. And it has been dropped, accidently and in tugs of war over it. Still wo rks great!

not great for lil hands
my son who is 3 (a small 3) loves taking pics with out iphone, so we thought this would be a perfect gift.. but the click button being on the front of the camera makes it difficult for him to take pictures.. a disappointment! if only the click button had been on the same side as the picture viewer!!!

Picture quality stinks!
The Fisher price Kid-Tough Digital Cameras, both blue and pink versions, are fun for kids and as durable as advertised, but the picture-quality is very, very, very poor. So, although it is educational for kids and they pretty much can't break it, they don't get the joy of seeing quality prints of the photos they take. I think Fisher Price could do a much better job by making sure this camera can take quality pictures. The images are extremely pixilated and grainy and the color is lousy. I am disappointed. My kids, age 5 and 6, girl and boy, had fun playing with the camera at first, but quickly lost interest in using these cameras when they found that the images were so poor. Now they want to use my good adult digital camera so they can make decent prints of the pictures they take---and I don't blame them.

The case is good - contrary to another reviewer's opinion. Oh, and the "frustration free" packaging is a big plus for the environment, keep that!

Fun but terrible picture quality
Our 3 year old likes running around taking pictures with this camera, so that's the important thing, but do not think you're buying your child a real camera, as we did. The picture quality is an insult. I have honestly never seen any digital camera - webcams, cellphones included - that produced such lousy pictures - low resolution, incredibly grainy. I was hoping to surprise my son by showing him his pictures on the computer, but I decided not to as they looked appalling on the big screen. It's only a matter of time before he starts wanting to see the photos on a proper screen or paper, so I know disappointment is coming. We will have to buy him another camera when the time comes :-(

My son loves this!
We purchased this camera because friends of ours have them for their children who are a little older than our son and he always wants to play with theirs! Our son just turned 2 and loves this camera. He is not taking perfect photos by any means, but the idea that he can have his own camera that really works is thrilling for him! So far it has been very durable! He is small for his age but he can handle the camera well and hold it in the right position to take photos. Of course we supervise him well with it in the event that a small piece would come off. We are very happy with this Fisher Price toy!

Photo Mania
This camera was bought for my four-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. Five months later she and her three-year-old twin brothers and her six-year-old brother are still running around taking photos. This is a pretty tough camera to survive in their active household.

A quote from their Mom:

"Yes! They enjoy the pink camera. All four kids can take pictures with it, so they all really enjoy going around the house taking photos of what they find interesting, a photo of "Woofie" (stuffed animal), each other, somebody's butt, Dad's shoes, whatever. It is pretty funny. They enjoy it. :). Thank you for the wonderful gift".

That says it all!

what the kiddo says
I personally really like the camera, it is easy to use and it turns itself off when not in use ( a huge plus for me!)

My girl loves it, she does not use the two wholes for the eyes, she likes to use the screen. The quality of image is very poor but it is expected. I believe it is a great tool of learning and they don't get bored using it.
Love it.

Great Transitional Camera
We purchased this camera for our granddaughter's 5th birthday. We got Amazon's Frustration Free packaging so we were able to put the batteries in the camera befor we gave it to her. She was so excited when she opened it. It fit her hands perfectly and with one quick explanation of the 3 main buttons she was taking pictures. The screen is large enough to actually see the picture clearly and the two view finders make it easy for her 2 year old brother to play with it as well. The camera takes decent pictures, it is easy to use and it is very sturdy. We feel like we got our money's worth on this one!
Fisher Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera for Girls

Future Photographer
I gave this to my daughter for Christmas because she is always begging for my digital camera and she loved it! She goes around the house taking pictures of any and eveything.It is easy for her as a 3 year old to operate (turn on and off and take pictures by herself).

My little one loved it!
This is perfect for a toddler. I got this for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas. She loves it! The picture quality isn't great, but she doesn't care. It also keeps her away from my camera. IT holds over 50 pictures. She uses it all the time and I have found some great pics that I didn't know she took. I definitely recommend this for young kids.
