Disadvantages: Battery power is high and usually a high cost product to purchase

Actimates Barney is a wonderful learning toy for children and also, fascinating for parents.

Barney moves and asks you to play games, by squeezing his hand, play peek-a-boo, by covering his eyes and sing songs, by squeezing his feet.

Whilst my husband and myself are very experienced in technology, we were fascinated by this toy.

We bought Barney with a PC pack included. You get a radio transmitter to plug in to the pc and a cd with interactive games. Plug in the transmitter, insert the cd and switch Barney on .. you'll be amazed. He receives information on your game playing and praises your child or asks them to try again.

It's difficult to describe just how wonderful this toy is, you need to see one working to fully appreciate it.
