Advantages: Good Interactive fun for older children

Disadvantages: Not built for throwing about!

I bought my 3 year old a furby for Xmas - OK so he was too young - but he loves things that make noises.

For the first two weeks it was fine - he played with it, talked to it, took it to bed etc etc.

The problem came when it was dropped from the top of the stairs - would it shut up?? - no - without drastic action - ie removal of the batteries - I could not get it to reset.

The problem came when I re-inserted the batteries - there was obviously a loose connection somewhere because it just kept shrieking!

So, it's turned into a £10 teddy ! He still likes it and takes it to bed. he also seems to have forgotten that it used to speak!

Moral - don't buy complicated electrical things for 3 year olds that are likely to drop them from a great height!
