Kid-Friendly MP3 Player Gets Award

According to an article by the CanWest News Service, the Canadian Toy Testing Council has voted that the SweetPea3 Digital Music Player is the best battery-operated toy for 2009. This kid-friendly gadget which is produced by SweetPea Toy Company Ltd., fills a niche in the market by providing a way for children up to the age of six to listen to digital music.

The MP3 player which uses a built-in speaker to ensure that children's hearing isn't damaged also comes with preloaded music and stories. The device, which is PC and MAC compatible, also comes with a USB cable so that you can transfer your own digital audio files.

If you are a parent that is interested in this product, you'll be glad to know that the casing has been 'kid-proofed' (as far as possible) by using FDA food-grade rubber to absorb the physical abuse that as any parent knows is inevitable!
