Hasbro Videonow Jr. Player (Yellow/Purple)

WE had considered getting our 4 year old a portable DVD player, but decided to buy a Videonow Jr. She loves it and so do we! She's watching her favorite shows Dora, Blues Clues, Sesame Street and Max & Ruby! Our daughter quickly figured out how to work it. The screen is small but the picture is great. Last night we watched it in bed together. Very cool toy- I would have killed for one of these as a child!

You cannot play normal dvds in this player. The selection is extremely limited. I had NO IDEA and ordered it as a video player. There is small fine print that tells you it only plays their own dvds. What a huge disappointment. RETURNING.

This product is acceptable for preschoolers and younger childeren and can withstand whatever they throw at it. If your child is 4 or older, and listens reasonibly well to directions, I would reconsider this purchase and consider getting a portable DVD player. The limited variety of discs available for this player and their increased cost make this item not as attractive an option as a portable DVD player. Also, if your children are fans of Disney Channel, none of their favorite shows are available in this playing format. My daughter enjoyed watching shows she typically doesn't see, but, with the exception of Clifford, the shows were not entertaining after seeing them 5 times. Most of the shows are ideal for 30 minute drives, so keeping a few on hand (in the case is ideal) is preferrable.

We bought this for a 2 year old for his birthday so he could watch Elmo or one of his other favorites! The player is great in that it is very sturdy but I am giving it a poor rating because if one cannot find anything to play on it, of course it will gather dust in the closet. There are some pvds out there...most of them used and for older kids and more expensive than the average DVD. I'm thinking the really great ratings were from the past when there was a good selection. I would have given it a 2 star but I admit that I did not read carefully that it takes a special disk. That being said, I set out to buy them and couldn't find any disks that were appropriate for my grandson. There are disks for older kids who probably don't need the video jr player!

My son got the Video Now Jr. for Christmas and it has been a big hit.Some of the nice features of the Jr. include:*Bigger Buttons for smaller fingers. (Play, Stop, FF, Rev)*Double slide latches to open cover. This makes it more difficult for little ones to open the unit and mess with disk or damage the lens.*Looks and feels durable. Ours has been dropped plenty of times and keeps working.It does use batteries faster than other toys, but it hasn't been an issue since we keep recharables around.Age two might be a little young for this toy. My son like to use the buttons like a video game (making elmo say the same 2 words over and over and over) . . . he also likes to tap it to make it skip. But these things are more annoying than harmful to the Video Now Jr.Overall this is a great toy. My son loves it and takes it everywhere we go. The disks available are great (Wiggles, Sesame Stree, Dora, Blues Clues.) It also play regular Video Now Color disks. It is one of the most used toys in our house!

Hard ti find. Great for the little ones. Very durable.

This toy is excelent because it is used the same by my 3 year old grandson as well as my 17 months grandson. They can operate it themselves as well as derop it and nothing happens.

I bought this toy for a friends birthday and she really loved it and she plays with it all the time. I think the price was great too!
