Do your kids love singing? Well, my two daughters do! As much as we would want to share our stuffs with our kids, there are times that we cannot allow them to use some gadgets and equipment for fear that they will break it. For one, they already broke our Magic Sing Karaoke System (sad face). I am glad when I learned about a toy called Sing-A-Long CD and MP3 Player from Kidzlane – it a promising toy for my music lover children.

My Review
The sound quality may not be the best but considering that this product is created for kids, it is loud and good enough for kids play. The dual microphone is very convenient if you have two kids because they can both enjoy singing without quarreling over the microphone.
The use of batteries makes this toy very portable (you can hook the microphones at the sides) but you may also use a 9V DC adapter with this product if you are not into batteries.
If you intend to give this toy as a Christmas gift, be sure to have these things handy to avoid upsetting and frustrating your kids while you go on an unplanned trip to the store: a screw driver (for battery installation), 6 size “C” batteries, and a CD of your kids favorite music (or mp3/wma songs saved in an mp3 player or your smartphone).
You can buy the portable Sing-a-long CD & MP3 from Kidzlane at Amazon. It was originally listed at $69.99 but you can currently buy it for only $59.99 with FREE shipping.
My verdict
The Sing-a-long CD & MP3 can be a good gift for kids who love music. The sound may not be of the best quality (considering the price, it’s fair enough) but it is good and loud enough for kids play.
