What is it?
A toy, it comes in 8 pieces, you have the head of
the code-a-pillar, straight arrows, left and right turns and a sound
icon.
In the box you also will find a start and end disk
to build your own route.
How does it work?
You decide which part you attach to the
code-a-pillar. When, for example, you attach only the straight arrows and press
'play' your code-a-pillar will go forward in a straight line.
You can set
out a route and ‘program’ your code-a-pillar to go from the start disk to the end
disk.
They also developed an app for IOS or Android where
you can play with a cartoon version of the code-a-pillar.
What do we think?
It makes an
annoying noise like most kids toys. The noise’s not only annoying but also incredibly
loud. I found it to loud and my ears are way up higher than the kids.
Age?
The age on
the box says: 3-6 y
My kids are
16 months old and 5 years old.
My 16 month
old son love it for making the terrible noise. But hey, that’s what fisher
price does best, make toys for babies. He loves to pick up the head of the
code-a-pillar and walk around with it. Asks me to attach the code parts. When
his sisters “programs” the code-a-pillar and it takes off, he crawls and walks
after is with a lot of joy.
My 5 years
old girl (use to toys like this) finds the code-a-pillar cool, but it doesn’t
do exactly what she excepts it to do (straight ahead, is not straight he
wobbles). When it makes a turn, you don’t know how much degrees he will turn.
When he bobs on to something, he stops his program and resumes it where stopped
when you remove the obstacle and press play again.
So she
likes it to play with her brother, but doesn’t see it as an challenge.
Note
When you
pick it up while driving, and tough the wheels, it hurts my hand. So doesn’t it
hurt the kids as well?
