Fisher Price Record Player

The Fisher Price Record Player is a unique and entertaining toy that was first introduced in 1971 for children aged 18 months and above. More than 40 years later, it has re-introduced in the market, thanks to popular demand from people. The original versions released at the beginning are now classified as vintage toys and are highly valued collectibles. The reproduced Record Player has been an instant hit with parents and children alike, just like its predecessor. At present it is being marketed under the name Fisher Price Change-A-Record Music Box. But those who hold fond memories of using it as toddlers themselves say that the present version does not vary much from the earlier one except for a few changes in packaging and design.

Featuring original detailing, the Fisher Price Record Player comes with a set of 5 specially made records that play two songs a side making a total of 10 songs. The songs range from popular nursery rhymes such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jack n Jill, Humpty Dumpty, Farmer in the Dell, London Bridge, etc. The records are stored in a specially made integrated box within the record player itself. The player also comes complete with a dainty handle that makes it very easy to carry when on the go.

Child safety is something that has been paid special attention to while manufacturing the toy. An extremely conscious organization, Fisher Price has earned quite a name for itself in the industry by producing toys that contain very minute quantities of or absolutely no toxic ingredients. Fisher Price toys are known for their lead free quality (the company even has a history of recalling a set of its licensed toys from for possible hazards due to lead content) and the Record Player is no exception.

The Fisher Price Record Player is a very unique toy in the fact that it works not only as a medium of entertainment but also helps impart knowledge and learning by assisting children to learn nursery rhymes which have always been a stepping stone to higher education for new learners. The newly re-launched toy also provides parents and children of yester years a healthy dose of nostalgia and provides them with a chance to re- live their childhoods through their children. An excellent product in every respect, the Fisher Price Record Player is a must have for every child.
