 Great Idea! Great Toy!Aug 28, 2007
By Joseph P. Carty
"Staceynkc"
I'm excited to write the first review for this product. I picked this up over the weekend for my son who is a few days shy of 3. He loves, loves, loves it! This is a great idea for anyone who shares their computer with a littler one. I purchased both the base unit as well as one expansion pack with Thomas the Train and Bob the Builder keys. Each website has multiple activities for varying ages and skill levels. I love that this thing browses the assigned websites in an adapted format for kids without all the difficult scroll bars, popups and useless links. It does utilize the forward, back, home and refresh buttons that will familiarize them with other browsers.
These sites are full of activities that your child can explore and you don't have to panic if they are left unattended. The unit will not allow access to any other programs or settings on your PC or any other websites. That means, no more freeze ups from inadvertent clicks, no more lost info, changed settings, etc...
I think my son will play with this toy for several years to come considering the large span of difficulty levels at each site.
Definitely reccomended to anyone with a child 3 or older and I believe that my son would have played with this probably from about 2 and 1/2 since he was already playing other computer games at his skill level.

My son knows how to use a computer so great nowOct 02, 2007
By J. Evans
When i originally bought this item i wasn't too impressed since it went to websites you could get to normally if you just type in the web address. boy was i wrong to assume thats all this way. my son has come to know how to use a computer so well he impresses me everyday. he is able to get it started on his own with no help by inserting the plastic figures by himself and travels to all the different websites by simply taking one figure out and putting in the one he wants. tehre are so many games on there that he can learn from. they ask him to sort small from big, yellow from green, etc. yeah some dont have any learning value but A LOT do. he has so much fun he doesn't even kow he's learning. i was a little afraid that since he can't read(he's 3) he would have trouble navigating around. like when the screen asks him if he wants to play again, he knows to click it if he does. even though he can't read he navigates just as well as if he could. he usually spends 2 hours a day with this on and off. sometimes longer if we're inside all day. this gets his attention more than any other item he has. i would DEFINATELY BUY AGAIN!

 DO NOT BUY, NO LONGER SUPPORTED!Oct 02, 2009
By B. Morano
I have this product and it hasn't worked right for over a year. I just got off the phone with their support and was told this product hasn't been supported for over a year. Most of the Key Fobs no longer work due to website changes. This could be easily fixed with an update from Fisher Price, but their official stance is they no longer support it.
I'm highly disappointed and spreading the word to all I can. If you buy this toy it will not even work out of the box. Save your money for a toy that actually works, and a company that stands behind their product.
Bad form Fisher-Price.

 Great toy, but some websites no longer work!Jul 15, 2011
By Jamie Zeser
The Fisher-Price Easy Link toy is great! Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2008 and most of the Smart keys are no longer connect with the websites they are supposed to. I just finished speaking with a customer service rep for Fisher-Price, and here is a list of the smart keys that DO WORK: Fisher-Price dog, Sesame Street Elmo, Clifford, Arthur, and Thomas the Train. For the smart keys the DO NOT WORK: Dragon Tales, Bob the Builder, Disney Princess, Higglytown Heroes, Mickey Mouse, JoJo's Circus, Little Einsteins, Cars, Handy Manny, Barney,and the Wiggles. I really hope this helps because I would have been upset if I would have purchased them, only to get them and the sites not work.

Excellent idea but do not buy the extra figurines!Apr 10, 2008
By S. brown
"Krad Dude"
Product works most excellent; but you can save alot of money by editing the XML file that picks which website to open based on the 3 included characters. It is in the directory where it is installed. you can edit it with notepad and change the url's. This will save you money by not buying more plug-ins.
Great idea; but charging so much for extra add-ons is insane. Anyone can reprogram the websites for each plug-in. It is that easy. Save your money and learn to use notepad!
Good choise for young-uns!
