| Warehouse had these (playskool) MP3 player/speaker - were $89, down to $45, so got one for the boys today. fabulous. they have 50 songs programmed on, and then there is a wee mp3 player - plug into your computer (cable supplied), put in a cd and voila! it is on there. the boys are listening to some wiggles at the mo - they can change the musi themselves - no more broken cds. And it seems pretty durable too. is currently being whizzed around the lounge, but still playing. I thoroughly recommend |

I doubt the Papakura store would have any in stock *sigh* ...would be good to save aside for Xmas/2nd Birthday if I could find the money ... ------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

Good score Lizzle! Where was that? I will have to have words to my DH for not letting me know (works at Warehouse Head Office) as I've been eyeing those up for ages. -------------

We went there this evening, there's only 3 orange ones left. The girls were still playing around with it, and mike was going "nah, not worth it"... he wants to get Paris a pink mini cd player of her own for her room for her birthday. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Sorry to be a 'wet blanket' but I've also heard that headphones should be avoided for kids cos their ear-drums are really easily damaged. |

Oh, these don't have head phones - just speakers - room listening as opposed to by-yourself listening.
personally I think ipods for kids are a wee bit anti-social |

From what I understand talking to DH it seems like Palmy may have made a bit of a mistake in putting them on sale. He's not 100% positive but as they're new stock it seems strange to him. So looks like it truly was a bargain. -------------
