I would expect more child proofing for a product like this. The battery case has no screws or even a childproof latch so it's very easy for kids to open. The CD player likewise has no latch or locking mechanism for where you insert the CD so kids can open it (damaging CD, Lazer, or mechanism). The sound level can easily be maxed out...again would be nice to offer a max volume limit that only adults can turn off so kids don't blow their ears out. That said... The sound quality is really fantastic and operation is smooth. I like the textured buttons.

I have a son with autism who gets into trouble with electronics. Additionally he tends to break everything within a week. I bought this specifically for durability and because there is no radio. It is plugged in and doesn't need batteries. It is just perfect for what my son needs.

After being gifted 2 of these we purchased another 4 for our elementary classrooms. The children love them and they are able to navigate using them independently! Great for a reading center with books on CD!

After researching and searching for CD players for children I came back to this CD player from Lakeshore. The player is well-constructed, easy to operate, portable (using batteries) or can be plugged in, and has a built-in speaker so can be enjoyed with others. I appreciate that there was no radio component to this player, unlike so many others, so the children can listen to what the parents select for them to listen to. I ended up purchasing three - one for each of our families with grandchildren. I appreciated the discount available on the website!

Works very well for kids as well as the blind and older adults . Recommend it with a Speaker inserted instead of headphones

Love it. Nice sound for a small portable CD player. I love that it has an A/C adapter plus can run on batteries.

After reading reviews, I got this for our son and it had lasted long than our old one.

I'm a boomer and I love the simplicity of this portable CD player! No excessive bells and whistles and I love the anti-skip technology to boot. I love going down memory lane with all my old classic CDs; it’s just what I needed!

Needed a simple machine for someone with low-vision and limited manual dexterity, and this CD player is exactly that. Works well, sound quality is just fine. A bit too expensive, but I was able to get a discount online, and that helped make up my mind. Seems very sturdy, so I'm hoping it will last for many years, which will justify the cost.

Well constructed and easy to use. I bought this CD player to use in my car because my 2021 Toyota did not come with a CD player. The built-in speakers are clear and the volume is loud enough that sometimes I have to turn it down. My CD's do not skip at all. It also comes with a wall plug-in adapter so you don't have to use batteries for home use. Very pleased with my purchase.

Less confusing than their stereo system and great for a home without internet, plus it is portable so they can take it in the bedroom or kitchen and sing along with their favorite songs.

I bought this for my 94 yr ol Mom who listens to audio books as she falls asleep. She missed lot of story so needs to rewind. The buttons are great size and so easy to find. She loves this cute retro looking player.
