I usually review MP3 Players and related accessories or write posts relevant to MP3 Players in some way but in this article I’ll give some pointers on buying a Toddler CD Player. My daughter, a toddler, has been enjoying listening to classical music in her room before going to sleep at night. We have a CD player sitting up on one of the bookcases in her room. She also likes to listen to it during those times when she needs to take a few minutes by herself to calm down.
I haven’t found a great option for a Toddler CD Player that’s portable, if you would like something portable I’d strongly advise you to go with an MP3 Player instead. When it comes to durability and toughness the fewer moving parts something has the better it’ll fare.
If you put in a little extra effort up front and find the right CD Player for your Toddler it will be something they can enjoy in their room for years to come. Below are some tips for getting your toddler a CD Player they’ll be listening to for years.
Keep it up out of reach until they’re old enough to use it themselves. Put the player up on a higher shelf or a dresser or something at first.
Consider getting a player with an input (aux) that’ll work with any MP3 Player. Every year it seems more and more of our music collections are based on MP3’s and other digital formats, getting something that you can plug an MP3 Player into later on will lengthen the useful life of the player you buy.
In general I would avoid character themed Cd Players. Kids, especially young ones, tend to move from favorite cartoon or movie character to the next pretty fast so if you’d like this to be something that’s still “cool” in a couple years you will want to avoid any theme they may soon outgrow. An even bigger problem with these themed players is that they’re often very low quality and way over priced.
My Top Choice for the best Toddler CD Player
LEGO Yellow Boombox (can also be found in other colors)
The LEGO Yellow Boombox comes with a one-year warranty, an AM/FM radio, and a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack that you can plug your MP3 Player into. Like any true LEGO product this player is stackable with other LEGO electronics like their Alarm Clock.
This Boombox is durable enough to last for years and also has high quality sound. Lego’s aren’t the kind of fad that kids outgrow quickly, they’ve been around for decades and have products for kids of all ages, it’s not likely to be something your child will ever outgrow.
This unit is a great deal for the cost, and if you read enough reviews you’ll quickly realize that it’s very hard to find top quality in this price range.
