I think this product has the potential to win against others on the market, and feel that this product justifies its price tag. It's a beautiful looking toy that not only plays music, melodies and sounds, but also includes a fairy that rides on top of the unicorn that you can sing along with. It also includes a carrot toy that you feed Twinkle. They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays.

For our review we’ve scored VTech Toot-Toot Kingdom Big Unicorn 9.1 out of 10. We take a number of criteria into account here including what customers have to say about the product, the features, quality and price.

Features a soft, multicoloured mane and tail! Includes a MagicPoint™ location which trigger more responses with lights, sounds and music! Enjoy sing-along songs between Twinkle and Fairy Luna, as well as hearing lovely melodies, fun phrases and more! Press the heart button on Twinkle to hear even more great responses! Then we’re on to features. Again this will vary in importance depending on the type of toy you’re buying. You’ll no doubt have a view on whether you care about features or not for Early learning toys.

If the price appears to be significantly lower than you’d expect for the sort of product you’re buying, then you’d be wise to start looking in a bit more detail at other indicators of the quality. My daughter is almost 15-months-old and was not yet walking when we received the product, however, she was standing and loved the music, so we encouraged her to stand independently while the music played which she loved to doing. She also loves chasing the unicorn as it moves, and we have been able to incorporate this into encouraging her to walk as we chase it together, so it’s actually been hugely effective in encouraging her to both stand and walk independently.

The unicorn is a medium sized, battery-operated toy with lots of lights and sounds. It is brightly coloured and seems well made, and interacts with the (supplied) fairy figure, which sits in one of two places on the top. My one-and-a-half-year-old girl loved it on first use and for a few days after, but hasn't really returned to it since. As with any toy that holds your child's attention, if they can play with it without supervision, it can only make your life easier as a mum or a dad. Of course, one downside to buying online is that you aren’t able to see the product in-person. But there are many ways to help you determine a product’s quality without seeing it. Say hello to the mystical Toot-Toot Friends Kingdom Twinkle the magical unicorn. Press Twinkles light-up heart button to see her majestically trot, move her head from side to side and see a magical display with her flapping her beautiful wings. Place the included SmartPoint character Fairy Prisma on one of the two MagicPoint locations and take her on a magical journey around the Kingdom and hear her introduce herself, sharing the things she likes to do and sing 2 sing-along songs. Pretend to feed Twinkle with her pretend golden carrot to hear fun eating sound effects to make playtime even more magical.” Tested by mum Danielle Overend for the Mother & Baby Awards 2018: The wings feel a bit delicate, they have withstood the test of time so far, but with boisterous and younger children I can see these breaking.

With that in mind, we wanted to really explore and analyse the price of VTech Toot-Toot Kingdom Big Unicorn to see how cheap you can get it, but also see how it compares to other products. To do this we looked all the products available in the “Early learning toys” category, as well as looking at the products available from the brand VTech. It’s a very interactive toy, but isn’t stagnant. It allows and encourages movement, as they have to move to follow and keep with the unicorn, however, if you turn that feature off, there is the option for calm play with the unicorn and the Princess Prisma, enabling fine motor skills and imagination. The unicorn and princess are very tactile. The unicorn is made from several different materials, which encouraged our daughter to feel around and discover play features independently. I love its unique presentation and how the product makes my little ones face beam with joy. It's not a standalone set, so there is plenty more potential for imaginative play with the other compatible sets. A one-year product warranty is included with the set, which is good, because you never know when it will break. Thank you for reading our VTech Toot-Toot Kingdom Big Unicorn review tips and guidance. As we mentioned earlier, if you do go on to buy one of these products mentioned, please do drop us a comment as it will be great help to other customers like you. As cute and adorable as the product is, I had quite a challenge bringing Prisma to life. After a lot a different battery swaps and a little chewing of the toys limbs by my little one, she suddenly started to work. Cleaning the set is an easy enough job but transportability would not work if you don't really have a lot of space to carry it.
