CD Players for Kids: A Review of the Lexibook Cars CD Player

The Disney Pixar Cars movie has fans all over the world of all ages, in particular people love the character of Lightning McQueen. Children love listening to music on their own CD player. So why not combine the two? Well, the Lexibook Cars CD player does exactly that. Designed in the shape of the Lightning McQueen character, this CD player is sure to appeal to the Cars fan in your life.

Unlike the real Lightning McQueen, this model only has two wheels, as the car is compressed to function as a CD player. However, it has all the familiar flair that is bright red and has the various “Rusteze” stickers. Not to mention Lightning’s smiling face, of course.

The wheels fold out (if desired) and act as speakers. The speakers are rated at 1.5W each, so it’s clearly not the most powerful system in the world, but it’s easy enough for young children. As a parent, not being too loud could be seen as a good thing. Kids may want a louder system when they grow up, but you can also make the most of the quieter volumes while you can. The CD is loaded from the top of the unit, that is, it lifts off the windshield. This model is obviously designed for children (although the manufacturer claims that it is not suitable for children under 6 years of age) so the controls are very easy to use.

This unit also includes a radio so your child can also listen to their favorite radio stations. It has a telescopic antenna to improve radio reception. It has an analog tuner, so younger children may need help finding the station they are looking for.

This model works with six 9V batteries (not included) or with the mains. An AC adapter is included, but it only has two pins, so you will need to purchase a two-to-three-pin adapter. This is a slight irritation, but clearly not insurmountable as they are widely available.

Clearly, many children like to link their favorite movies or cartoon characters with functional elements and the Lexibook Cars CD player fits this trend. It should certainly fit in well with the décor of other cars in your child’s bedroom.

This model is reasonably priced as it is intended for children, is well made and should make any Cars fan happy.
