Learning Resources Pretend & Play Teaching Cash Register

I bought this toy for Christmas for my 2 kids ages 3yr old boy, & 1yr old girl. I love the fact that it will work with the plastic coins that it comes with as well as real money coins. It will tell you what each coin is for coin recognition. I know my son has started learning the differences even better since we got the toy. Plus my kids love getting to use the scanner. It doesn't have a hand-held scanner but I think this way is better because it's not connected with a cord that will eventually get bent enough to stop working. The scanner rings up new items each time it's pressed and it adds up all of the items for you. You even get to use the "credit card" that comes with the toy and it has you swipe the card and acts as if it's really approving you. It's cute and the kids like it. I also really like that it can be used for younger kids and older kids. For my little girl it's a little over her head as far as the games it has on it because they are counting type games, and being able to recognize coins and the values of the coins. But my little one loves ringing up stuff when they're playing "shopping" and the buttons are larger, nice sized for kids to press. Plus the cash register drawer is very fun for both kids to use. It opens up with just the press of the "open" button and springs open. Some of the reviews I had read said that it opens so fast that all the coins fall out and that it wasn't safe, but I really haven't had any troubles. I'd honestly rather have the drawer open up by itself than to have to pull the drawer open like some of the crappy cheap toys. It doesn't open fast enough to hurt the kids either. Overall, this product has been fun, has provided learning for both my kids, and is a very nice toy to have to play pretend shopping games. I think it's great to learn more about money too for the older kids. It will be a toy we'll have around for quite some time. Luckily it's also durable and isn't going to break for a long time. :) Hope you find this helpful and choose to buy the product.

Great Educational Toy for toddlers! *What I like -Purchased because I liked the size of the buttons and their raised profile - which I think I better for especially younger ones. -Also the various functions of the cash register such as the mini games and coin bank functions are great for learning. -It is easy to use for my toddler and though they may not engage in all the functions now, I can see it being very useful as the progress through school. -The volume is moderately loud at the lowest level. I appreciate that the volume can be increased & decreased - The cash drawer is a big hit. I noticed many reviews mentioned the money flies out due to the speed of the drawer opening, I mainly keep the money in the back compartment of the drawer for now and no issues haha *What I Would change -The option of a backlight on the display screen -The register unit be rechargeable, rather than having to replace batteries - A beeping sound when items are passed over scanner, as to replicate the register in the grocery etc Overall I’m happy I purchased this and looking forward to playing ‘supermarket’ and the educational games with my little one for the next few years.

Unfortunately, I wasted a little bit (or more) of money this holiday season. I'm glad to say that this particular toy was absolutely NOT a waste. I had the older model for my older kids, but got rid of that one when they outgrew it. Remembering how much they enjoyed playing with it (we even used it for our garage sale), I bought this one for my youngest daughter, who is four. This is an excellent cash register! It comes with a lot of play money and provides hours of learning fun. Really, my daughter just loves playing store, scanning items, using her "Kroger Card" and the credit card. She enjoys hearing the machine say "Credit Approved" (or declined!), and she loves putting the coins in the coin slot and having the register recognize which coin it was. This cash register has many more features than the older one (which I truly liked), and that adds to the play value, I suppose, especially for a younger child. There are some simple math games on this one, too, but the games are really geared to kids just a bit older than 4. However, my daughter has only had this for 2 days and she has already started to grasp some money concepts that she didn't have before. We've gone over coin values and she's undertanding that the paper money has different values, as well-- although we really haven't begun to go over that. And, interestingly enough, she's asked about some of the figures on the bills and the coins. She's especially interested in Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. This is a great toy. And, as I mentioned before, it really does work as a cash register, as well. So, you can use it for simple sales such as garage sales, lemonade stands, etc.

This has been a wonderful learning toy for my kid. Can be used just as a toy or turn to game modes for more learning focus. My only complaint (which is kind of silly, because it’s still a great toy and my kid could care less) is that there aren’t enough slots in the drawer for each denomination of bills.

お金に興味が出てきて、おままごとやお買い物ごっこ？ができるようになってきた子の3歳の誕生日に選びました。 ほかの類似商品に比べてやや高めの価格なのと、海外製品のため初期不良や耐久性に不安を覚えつつも 「光る、音が出る、おしゃべりする（簡単な英語に親しめる）」「レジ清算、計算機能だけでなく、足し算や引き算、数当てなどのゲームができる」「コイン投入口がある」「重さを計る計量器っぽいのがある」「コイン、紙幣がそこそこ付属してて結構リアル」「クレジットカード、クーポンカードつき」「よくある日本のバーコードリーダーではなく台に滑らせる形が小さい子にも扱いやすそう」など シンプルながら大人から見ても機能十分で、これで遊んだら楽しそうだな、と思える点が多く思い切って購入。（ちなみに5歳の子もいるため一緒に遊べたらお得だと思いました） ストアからは無駄のないしっかりした梱包で即発送していただき、誕生日当日まで待って電池投入。いざ子供達の前に置いて起動した瞬間、ほああああ！と興奮しまくった5歳3歳が説明する間もなく北斗神拳のごとくボタンを連打連打連打！「ちょっと待って、まずここを押すと…」と説明する間もなくひたすらピピピピピピと押しまくり、レジ箱が勢い良く開くともう大興奮。おしゃべり機能もレジ計算機能もまったく関係なしにピピピピピガシャーン「ごひゃくえんで～す！」と遊び始める子供達。これはこれで良いのですが、せっかく多機能がついているのだから他の部分も注目してもらいたい。 埒が明かないので付属のコインを袋から出し、「ほら見て！」とコイン投入口に入れてみせると、今度はそっちに猛烈に食いつき、延々とコインを入れ続けては出し、二枚同時に入れて詰まらせたり、レジ箱もガシャンガシャンやるためコインが（軽いので）あちこち飛んでいきカオスに。 気が付くと、おしゃべりのワンフレーズも聞く暇もなく、ものの数分でどのボタンを押しても「ピッ」「ピッ」としか音が出なくなり、ディスプレイ表示もずっと変化しない状態になってしまいました。 「まさか壊れた！？子供の玩具なのにこの程度でそんな馬鹿な…」と一旦子供を強制終了させ、説明書を見て見ると、電池の部分あたりにリセットボタンがあり、さらに、コイン取り出し口あたりにセンサー？があるらしく、ここがしっかり閉まっていないと正常に動かないらしい。 ひとまずリセットし、コインケースもしっかり閉め、もう一度起動し直してみると、また表示もはじめのように元に戻り「Welcome!」「Let's play!」おしゃべり機能も健在でひと安心でした。 一通りいじくりまわして落ち着いてからは、5歳の子が足し算引き算ゲームに挑戦したり、3歳はコインを入れる遊びがお気に入りで、ポーチにもコインを入れて持ち歩いたりとそれぞれ楽しく遊んでいます。 年齢層的にはやはり、5～6歳くらいからのほうが落ち着いてルールに沿った遊び、レジ（お金のやりとりをする買い物ごっこ）遊びができると思います。小学生まで十分遊べそうです。 積み木、お人形、ブロック、ままごと、楽器、運動器具などの幼児向け玩具はだいたい持っている。次は何にしよう？と迷ってる方には次のステップとしておすすめです。

This is an awesome little cash register sturdy good quality and does what it says.. My little one loves it he is 4 and there is still a lot of play left in it since he is not able to use all the functions fully yet. The reason I gave it 4 starts was because when I read the reviews and description I didn't see anywhere that this cash register is American! Money is in dollars and the lady talks in dollars and dimes and nickels and that is so confusing for us :-( wish I had remembered to check that instead of assuming it's sold in UK it must be in pounds!

Es un juguete muy bien pensado y elaborado. Un poco caro pero si se valora los distintos niveles y juegos que trae, creo que lo vale. El idioma es inglés por lo que también permite a los chiquitos practicarlo.

A very solidly designed and constructed toy that works a lot like a real cash register. Neat little additions like a coupon card or a bank card add to the depth and realism of the gameplay. Voice over says aloud the amount of dollars for goods and counts along as change is put into the coin slot. Makes a pleasant "cha-ching" sound when the drawer is opened. A great toy for teaching kids about money and the purchase of goods and an essential addition to any imaginative "play store". Very much worth the purchase!

A great learning register! My grandkids just absolutely love this!
