My son has had a Scout since he was a baby and he is 7 now. This is still his favorite stuffed animal. He sleeps with him every night. So I just had to buy one for my nephew. I know he will love it just as much as my son does.
I have a three year old son who just loves this puppy. We programed the puppy and my son lights up every time he hears his name. He even answers the puppy when he talks. Puppy (that is what my son calls him) will ask Brenden if he wants to play and my son says "yes", when puppy says Hi Brenden my son will say "hi". Just love it, puppy goes every where with him. Since my son has a not very popular name, this toy is awesome in saying his name. Even though the toy is rated for age 6 months to 36 months, my son is almmost 39 months old and loves this toy. Great Price too!The usb cord is short but not a problem with plugging into the laptop. Since it is only used to program the puppy, it's not a big problem.I would like to hear more songs with words rather then just a beat. The do spell out the child's name in a song and would be better if they repeated the name at the end of it, but my son still loves it. The puppy says snuggle a lot and would be better if the puppy would say hug instead. My three year old didn't fully understand the snuggling part, but he is catching on quickly.I am going to buy a few more for my younger nephews, since it is such a big hit with my son and both of my nephews have uncommon names too! So this will be a great christmas gift.
very easy to set up! Out of the package I went onto the website and filled in a few questions pertaining to my child. They even made sure pronounced his name correctly! I filled in his birthday, favorite color and food. Plugged in the aux cord attached to the back of the bear into the headphone slot on my iPad, and then made sure the volume was up, then it synced! I unplugged it and gave it to my 18 month old. He now sleeps with it every night, and if you press the foot with night time music he says "*yawn* 5 minutes of night time music. Snuggle up, kaden."I really love these toys my older son has one that he just started talking to as though they're friends and takes him to bed every night too.
If you have a lil one you MUST MUST MUST get them one of these. I ordered this for my second grandson because my first grandson had gotten one for his birthday. He LOVED it so much that I decided then I would get one for each of my grandchildren. One of the nice features this has is that it plays soothing lullabyes at different set times. You want it for 2 minutes? Maybe 5? It does so. This is just one of the great things about this toy. I cannot recommend this toy enough. If you have a girl there is a purple one too!
This is the BEST if your kid loves LeapFrog. We have all the leapfrog toys, tablets, you name it. This toy is part of our daily life. It says your childs name, you can personalize what it sings and talks about on your phone, it has a volume adjustment inside the back of the stuffed animal (which we all know can truly stink, if your kid is in love with something that is JUST TOO LOUD!) this has two perfect volume options. It also has a setting for 5, 10, or 15 minutes of sleepy time music. It tells my son Good Night "Max" and plays the music. He falls asleep within 20 minutes with Scout on his shelf.
