My 20-month-old twins LOVE this silly thing. It has survived their loving ministrations for several months now, so I'm buying another one for their cousin. I can't tell you how many times this gadget has saved my sanity, as I popped them into the pack-n-play along with their music player. They don't seem to have any interest in the light-up numbers, letters, etc., and I doubt they are "learning" anything from it, but they love the music and it's not offensive to grownup ears. Works for us!

This is quite possibly my children's favorite toy. Both my 3 year old and 1 year old LOVE it. Actually, they fight over who gets to hold it while dancing around the kitchen. I believe it has helped both of them say/recognize the ABCs. A friend came to play and also loved it. I would consider it very durable -- we have had it for almost a year, and it has taken quite a beating, with definite signs of wear and tear, but works perfectly. I believe I may have seen a newer (and lighter) version in a store recently, so I can't attest to the newer toy's durability.
Even better, I bought this on sale. However, I would re-buy again at full-price in a heartbeat if necessary. It is fantastic!

I just purchased this toy for my grandson. As I was trying it out I have found that it only goes up to 5 on the numbers, and "f" on the abc song. The music songs only play for about 5 seconds and then fades out. Is this the way this is supposed to work or did I get a dud? Please help so I know whether to send it back or not.

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 purchased this Fridge DJ for my son when he had just turned 1. It was exciting to him right off the bat, it plays a whole variety of songs, including ABCs and other popular children's favorites. He's almost two now and he still loves it. It has also helped teach my 5 year old the days of the week. I love it too, it helps when I'm cooking dinner, my son just sings along with the Fridge DJ!
