My 2 children (ages 2 and 11 months) love this phone! My daughter (the 2 year old) loves that it says different things like, “I love you”, “Bye bye”, etc…! My son loves the music and lights (of course) and will dance with it as it plays!!
As far as the volume goes – there is not a ‘volume control’ switch. It is not ‘loud’ if you aren’t holding it up to your ear. I know that younger children will probably not hold the phone up to their ear and play with it like that (they would probably prefer to push buttons, listen to the music and watch the screen light up… like my 11 month old at this point), however, my 2 year old does use this phone like a ‘real phone’. She will hold it up to her ear and talk and act like she is talking to ‘mommy’ or ‘daddy’ or ‘grandpa/grandma’. When I held this phone up to my ear I noticed that it IS loud! So, when it’s not used as a phone it really isn’t loud (although, my son does still enjoy playing with it) – but when actually used as a phone the volume is plenty loud!!!
I like the different ‘settings’… such as you press the “ABC” button and then when you push the buttons (1-9) it will say the letters on the button that was pushed. If you push the “123” button then push a 1-9 button it will say the number of the button pushed. Then if you press the music button it will play music when a 1-9 button is pushed! The bottom button (and my daughters favorite… the 0) says different ‘cute phrases’ when pushed!
One other thing that I really like about this phone is how PERFECTLY it goes with the laugh and learn learning home! How adorable!!!! It sits perfectly in the ‘holder’ by the ‘phonebook’ on the ‘inside’ of the home 🙂 Brilliant!!!!

When my baby recieved this toy it was loud in the box. Then good old mom tried to get it out of the box so he could play with it. In the process, I dropped the toy approximately 5 times accidentally. So I think it turned out to be pretty durable.
When I pulled the demo tab out of the back, the toy’s volume lowered exactly 60 decibles. This is supposed to happen. It is an FCC ruling the it not be loud so that the toy doesn’t blast your child’s ears out when they immitate you talking on the phone. This may be annoying to some parents, but it’s to protect your child’s hearing. When the tab is in the back of the toy, and it’s still in the box, it is in “DEMO MODE”. This is loud because toy departments in stores can be extremely loud and they want you to be able to hear the toy over parents who are screaming at their own screaming children. My house is not as loud as a toy store because my child doesn’t run it, and the toy works fine.
The ABC tunes and Numbers are just what I want my child to see. They are very clear on the screen, and the large variety of sounds and light patterns are pretty neat. I think that it offers a great capability of clearly teaching children some basic building blocks of literacy, and would recommend this toy to anyone.

I purchased the phone because my daughter loves the laugh and learn house. She plays with it all the time. I had read the reviews before hand and couldn’t understand why some people said the volume was bad. Now I know why. In the store it worked great. Once I took the tab off the sound dropped severly. Yes, I did change the batteries but that did not change anything. I am a mom of 3. If I had this for my first child when my house was quieter it probably would have been great. Three children does not make this toy great to play with amongst other people, very hard to understand. I have three other phones all with volume controls– I understand when I put it to my ear its okay but most children don’t put it their ear.

This toy is a wonderfully educational and fun toy but it is so loud! There is no volume control and when I held it up to my own ear when I was playing with my daughter I was shocked and terrified by how loud this was. If it made my ear ring what was it doing to hers? The only way to remedy the problem of the noise was to remove the batteries which takes away from the appeal. I give it fives stars for it’s fun, educational, and durable qualities but really want to caution parents about the decibel level that, with prolonged use, could do some permanent damage to a small child’s hearing. I was suprised Fisher Price was not more aware of the problem and did not attempt to make it more safe and user friendly. I typically only buy Fisher Price toys because of the quality but would urge them to consider volume controls or limits on their toys. I know as a parent I should be more cognizant of the dangers of toys I purchase for my children but in my haste to find a teaching toy I overlooked the aspect of safety. I figured a one piece toy with no obvious design flaws, small parts, choking hazards, etc. would be perfect. This is how I learn as a parent and I hope my experience helps others out there who want their children to be healthy!

I bought this product (for my 16m.old) after reading the other reviews for this item, So I knew about the claims for the sound quality. After I took the phone out of the box, I Put the little demo tab back in to the slot and I taped it on so that it can’t come out. The sound is excellent since I taped the tab in place. Other than that, It is a an excellent quality toy. Very educational, Showing the ABC’s and saying the ABC’s also the 123’s, and other cute phrases.
