VTech Soar and Discover Airplane

VTech makes the best toys, in my opinion, and this Soar And Discover Airplane is such a good toy. I ordered this as a Christmas present for my one year old grandson, and since he hasn't played with it yet, I thoroughly looked over this product to do this review. I would like to just quickly talk about some of the key features of it, many of which are not even in the description.A sweet and happy bear is the captain and pilot, of this brightly colored airplane. Pushing down on his head, makes the propeller spin. Pushing down on the bear's head will also make the bear pilot say 1 of 5 different sentences, such as "We're ready for takeoff!".If baby pushes the airplane, or pulls the airplane using the attached pull string, he/she will get to hear plane sounds and music, while the plane is moving.Next, the windshield lights up and flashes, but not in an annoying way, during most activities with this toy. By pushing the windshield button, baby can hear 3 different sing-along songs and 10 various melodies. Most of the melodies were unfamiliar to me, except "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". All of the melodies were pleasant to listen to.This airplane toy also has 2 wings. Each of the wings has 2 buttons on it, which baby can easily push. Pushing either button on the right side (labeled 1 OR labeled 2,3), will do the same thing, which is to say 1 of 3 different phrases about numbers. The phrases are all counting airplane parts, such as 2 wings, or 3 wheels. This only introduces baby to numbers 1, 2 and 3, which I think is plenty, at this age.Next, on the left side of the airplane are 2 buttons labeled A,B and also C. Pushing either of these buttons produces the same effect. It will say something that each of the letters (A, B, or C only) start with. "B is for blue sky.", is one of the 3 different letters phrases.There is even an adjustable volume button on the left side of the toy. This button lets you turn the sound off, or pick low volume (in the middle), or pick high volume (all the way to the right). This toy will also shut off automatically, if not played with, after awhile.I love all that this VTech airplane toy has to offer babies and toddlers. It is a wonderful toy.

I got this for my 18 month-old grandson and it was an instant hit! This is a very well-made toy with a bunch of features for visual, auditory and tactile stimulation...plus it's an airplane so that's cool all on its own.All of the buttons and other features are the right size for little hands and there aren't a lot of potential pinch points. The molding and construction are good quality along with the graphics and the oh so tempting to peel off stickers, which are well attached. The parts are attached firmly so as not to pose a choking hazard as well. A really cool feature is the volume slider for the sound so he can participate in night flying operations and not disturb the nice air traffic controllers in the next room. This is a really neat little toy that has kept his attention for more than the typical 3.5 seconds and is cleared to land on runway fun!

My daughter really likes this toy. She can pull it around the room as she runs but it also has buttons and noise makers to keep her entertained when she stops. The durable plastic has held up to be ran into walls and other toys. It has different settings that lets her do different things as she gets older so that we aren't having to replace toys constantly with more age appropriate ones.

I got this toy for my nephews to use and so far the old one really likes it. He loves dragging it around the house and making flying sounds with it. It's a pretty tough toy that has taken some hard falls and is still functional on its original batteries. Grab it if you have a young kiddo that likes cars and planes, and if you can catch it on a decent sale It'll well earn its keep and be a great addition to the toy cache.

Good toy for infants or toddlers as there are lots of different lights, sounds, and music from the different buttons. Wish there was a way for the propeller to stay spinning or the lights and sounds to stay on longer rather than having to press each button each time. Pressing the bear pilot multiple times also does not help to keep the propeller going and seems to actually slow the propeller down
