[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we got this phone in the mail I was excited to see my daughter’s face. I grew up watching Barney and was a big fan. We have purchased many pretend phones for our kids and this one is one of the better ones in my opinion . One thing to notice is it is very light weight. We have had a few that was quite heavy for a toddler to use and this one is very light weight. It is not very loud either was is great. It has bright colors and songs .
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gave this to my niece and it brought back so many memories of growing up with Barney and friends. She is 2 and absolutely loves it. She always wants the phone so this play phone was perfect! Love the different sayings when she plays phone talk. It also teaches numbers. And gets her imagination going. This product is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I thought the sound was to low my grandson had a hard time hearing it. I thought it was very well made were it could take abused if dropped on the floor. The buttons were perfect size for little fingers. I felt there were enough activity's to keep little ones busy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this to my two year old and it held his attention for maybe 5 minutes. It seems well made, has reasonable volume and has things to push to elicit sounds etc. The buttons are clear and easy to see. He had no trouble getting the device to work but age wise probably more suitable for a one year old
I would recommend this to a friend!

Barney’s Back with His New Phone
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: SCGrandma
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The big purple dinosaur, Barney, is back and better than ever for a new generation of kids. For ages 2+, it’s perfect for my granddaughter who is 26 months old. Dinosaur and buttons…a perfect combination. Barney’s World toy cell phone by Mattel has an updated rectangular look with buttons you can wipe. The thick phone is easy for little hands to hold. The phone has 60+ songs, sounds and phrases and lights up. And thankfully, an off switch. Included are 3AAA batteries.
The phone introduces Barney and his friends: Baby Bop, Billy, David, Mel, and Vivie. Their faces are depicted on the buttons, plus buttons with music notes, hearts, stars, email, phone and camera. When you press a number, it is repeated. When you press that button again, then the character speaks.
The phone is basic enough for a 2 year old, but I think too simple for an older child. I guess it’s me, but I find Barney’s voice annoying and not the clearest on this phone. I thought the raised green ovals at the top of the phone were buttons, but they were just raised so I guess for a tactile experience. My granddaughter did try to press them. Disappointedly, the phone does not do the alphabet or colors.
My granddaughter likes dinosaurs, and Barney, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, is the most famous. I don’t know what he sounded like in the 1990’s-early 2000’s, but my biggest gripe with this phone is his voice. It didn’t seem to bother my granddaughter.
This phone makes a good first phone, but if you have an older preschooler or a toddler who is advanced, I’d skip this one.

New Barney Phone
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: Arose0
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a totally new Barney character phone. The previous Barney voices and sounds are not part of this toy, and that is apparently welcomed by parents lol. This toddler gave the phone a two thumbs up, it kept her attention, and became her newest, best toy!

My toddler is taking selfies all day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is so cute. It’s built heavy duty and the perfect size for my toddler to carry around everywhere. This toy makes my toddler feel like she has the real deal, she can take selfies and dial numbers. She likes to talk to all of the characters. My toddlers favorite feature of them all though is the inspirational song that Barney sings, she plays it on repeat.
