Advantages: Great concept

Disadvantages: Expensive, quite and hard to operate

Last Christmas Santa very kindly put a tooth tunes toothbrush in my sons stocking for him. He was really excited when he unwrapped it, especially when he discovered the song it played was Queens - We will rock you ( he is a budding rock star).

To open the packet we had to get a pair off scissors as it was made of the thick see through plastic that is glues together round the edges.

Once we got it open my son rushed to the bathroom to wash it and put his favourite minty toothpaste on it. He put it in his mouth and it appeared like nothing was happening.

When I looked closely at it, I realised that you have to push the brush piece back quite far to get the tune to play and even when it does play it is extremely quite. So when his sister was standing beside him shouting excitedly no-one could hear the music.

The handle of the actual toothbrush is chunky but I find it too chunky for little hands.The base is flat which is great as it easily stands up.

My son found it difficult to work this as if he scrubbed his teeth hard enough to make the music play it hurt his teeth and if he brushed normally then the music didnt work, it was this reason that he very quickly went back to using a normal toothbrush.

I wouldnt buy another one and I dont think they are that well designed for young children (my son is 5) and I think that at £7.99 they are very expensive, especially as the y need changed every few months.

A great idea but need improving.
