Features: - The Easy Link Internet Launch pad makes it easy for kids to visit preschool appropriate websites to play online games!
- It connects easily to your computer via USB and when kids plug a character figure into the Easy Link Internet Launch pad, they are taken directly to that character's website.
- Once a character is plugged in, kids are only allowed to visit pages on that website until they plug in a different character, keeping them away from unsafe websites and from getting into your computer's files.
- Kids play the online games on the different websites by using your computer's current mouse and the arrow keys on the Easy-Link Internet Launch pad.
- 3 easy link figures included are Elmo, Dragonland, and Fisher-Price. (8 additional Easy-Link figures sold separately) When parents want to go back to normal computer use, they can enter a pass code to turn the Easy Link off.
Who Can Like This Toy??? [Posted on 2008-06-23]
I am absolutely shocked to see a single positive review here. This toy is absolute trash.
All of the games are available free on the internet so we had already played them. The software is buggy and doesn't want to install on most of our computer even though they are all fairly up-to-date machines.
The software is laggy and it takes a while to pull up the games sometimes, even though we have a blazing fast upgraded FIOS connection.
The most annoying part is that it requires a password to close the software, so my kids can't exit it on their own. I realize this is supposed to be a "security" feature, but how about an option to turn it off?
The character pieces do not sit securely in the pad and are easily knocked over.
I am ashamed to have given this as a Christmas gift to a niece.
Nice toy... [Posted on 2008-06-24]
My 3 year old calls this his internet...It's perfect because it is the only thing he can play with on the computer and he can't mess with any of my programs. We gave him his own account on our computer and it makes him feel special.
Excellent for teaching computer skills [Posted on 2008-06-25]
I have 2 daughters age 4 and 5 and I have had a difficult time just trying to teach them basic computer skills i.e., move the mouse and click here. With this toy it came so easy to them and they are having fun learning pre-school activities. Other than having to get a software update from FP before we used it I thought it was easy to set up. The best thing is that I can leave the room and trust that they are not corrupting any data on my hard drive. Once they are in Easy Link program it is impossible for them to get to any other files or programs without a parent password.
Absolutely Awesome! [Posted on 2008-07-01]
We ordered this product to replace a Leap Frog system that we could not get to work. I love this game system! We were potty training at the time and after our son watched the Elmo video on stopping what you are doing and going to the bathroom, he started following suit. It was very easy to load and we have not had any glitches in the games. Do not be fooled by buying other games from Ebay. If you go directly to Fisher Price's website you can find games for seven dollars. Overall, we love this game system and recommend it to our friends.
