A mic button allows kids and parents to record their voices and play them back with remix effects.

Parent Reviews
The Fisher Price DJ Bouncin' Beats Musical Toy has received glowing reviews from parents. One said: "Baby loves it - instantly smiles!" Another added: "Brought endless joy to my little nephew… and the grown ups too!"
A third reviewer said: "Bought this remotely and delivered for my little granddaughter's first birthday. The videos of her bouncing with this bouncy giggle maker are just infectious. Great toy and would highly recommend." One shopper noted the bouncing feature could be annoying for adults but that the joy it brings to little ones makes it worth it, adding: "It teaches alphabet, colours and counting. I find the bouncing bit annoying but baby/toddler absolutely loved it. It has a recording feature to it but have not tried that yet. Great toy and good price as can last a few years."
Another five-star review mentioned the toy can be noisy but praised it overall: "Bought this for my grandson, very noisy and fun, great interaction and you can record on it as well. All round great fun." The Fisher Price DJ Bouncin' Beats Musical Toy is available from Argos.
