I bought my son an "Apptivity Monkey" which needs an Itouch, he will be 8 month, is this recommended/ok for droolers??! He loves electronics!

My little one used it from about 7 months on and no drool/food/etc got onto the iphone. Just don't let them see how it opens or that will be the new game!

This case totally protected my iPhone from my two droolers. They used it a ton with no ill effects to my phone.

I would say the protection is sufficient for drooling. Its not water proof but the drool shouldn't get past to your phone.

My children are older, but we have downloaded several games from the google play store. I checked and there are some games there for toddlers that are free. I would advise going there first and see if there are any games you feel would be appropriate for your child before purchasing the ValuePad. If so, then I would recommend this unit. As your child grows, so will the options available and the price is not so much that you would have to worry about a young child handling it.

I wanted to buy this for my parrots and King Homer Pigeon. He loves making the light flash and music sound on toddler Fisher Price toys. I have macaws and a grey that I could see scampering across it to make noise too. Did you buy it in the end? The two comments made are opposite of each other of whether or not it would be suitable!

Jeremy, I would highly recommend getting a case and screen protector. The back of the iPod Touch is highly prone to scratches which make the device very unattractive and ultimately reduce its resale value as well. The screen is very scratch resistance, but it's still a good idea to cover it with a screen protector. Ideally, both should be on hand when he's ready to open the box. I would also recommend getting better earphones. The stock Apple earphones are pretty mediocre. Even the $10 Sony earphones I bought from WalMart give better performance than the stock Apple earphones. The dimensions of iPod Touch do differ from generation to generation. The 4th differs from previous gens, so cases meant for them won't work with it. All 4th gen. iPod Touches have the same dimensions, so a case meant for 8 GB unit will fit the 32 and 64 GB units as well.

Hey, I got it at original price early this year and for the product itself, it is very good. we put at home connected with IPHONE VIA BLUE TOOTH , my 7 year old girl dances every night with it. but it is ok if you carry outside when you have picnic, not for everyday out. if she loves dancing, buy one for her, on sale now.::-)M

No, but be VERY careful as my daughter's itouch fell out which led to the screen cracking. I called the company who said the mirophone is not designed to protect or secure your ipod it's only purpose is to sit it there... seems like a lazy approach since the products main purpose is to play music and the ipod is it's only source. Keep the itouch on the ground or risk paying more to get that fixed than the cost of the stand.

I bought the OWI for a child who was a bit young for it....it is durable, but the child was too rough with it, and it did not survive all the abuse. I would suggest you wait until the child was at least ten before biving this "toy".

We got the Winkel for our grandson when he was about 4 months old and he enjoyed it a lot for a few months. Now that he's 8 months, he only reaches for it when he wants something to gnaw on (great for teething!) but he doesn't really "play" with it anymore. His favorite early toy is still the Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes. He consistently goes right to this toy whenever he's on the floor or grabs for it on the changing table. He did like the Clack and Slide for awhile, but seems to be already outgrowing it now. Newest favorite toy is quickly becoming our iPads and iPhones. So I guess he's already a tech-a-holic type kid! Good luck finding the best toys for your little one, and hope this helps you! We got the Winkel for our grandson when he was about 4 months old and he enjoyed it a lot for a few months.

I had this same question earlier this week. I decided to go to Walmart and purchase the Nabi 2 for my 8 year old in case it didn't live up to our expectations, we could have a hassle free return. It's been a week and he loves it!!! I have installed amazon kindle, storia and amazon app store on it so that we can have more options for entertainment. I plan to add movies and music to an sd card so that he can have the space to download as many apps as he likes. I chose this tablet simply for the parental controls, making it safer, the durability and the fact that we can keep it on mommy mode when he gets older. I do admit that the spinlets tv and music seem preschool-ish but like I said there are many alternatives such as Amazon since this is a "real" android tablet.

Runs Android applications and has swappable memory. IMO better than the iTouch, more flexibility! Most iOS apps have an Android counterpart, so why not do it right at get the PlayMG!?!?

dont use it continuously or better yet, put it atop some place where your toddler cant reach it. hope this helps and enjoy your listening experience with your purchase, cheers

Give him a used or refurb'ed iPod Touch 4th gen. Its about $100 on eBay these days, and can run the latest iOS stuff. Easy to handle, smaller, and plays all those good games he always wanted. I did this exact same thing for you 8 year-old as well, he couldn't be happier.

Yes! I bought one for my 11 year old grandson. I have been downloading apps on it so he would have some games. I got the resistive screen so it's best to use a stylest but works with finger also. Angery Birds Star wars looks awsome! Turn it on and two touches your playing.

This toy is not necessary in order to use Ubooley. It just holds the cell phone when he is speaking making him more real. I believe your Ipod 4th gen should be able to handle the download. You need 4 G. It is a lot of data. You can use it without the toy as it is too big to place into the opening. It is a hoot with kids and they love him The download is FREE

It might be good if he's in to smart phones or an iPad. Mine was for a 4 year old girl.

I think the problem might be some early iTouch 4g's socket. If you go to the Apple site in discussions, there seems to be a problem with the plastic at the entry of the iTouch socket. Some have taken a small dental type tool to fix, anyway here is the link...http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2664765
