A walking robot dog that size would cost a heck of a lot more than two or three hundred dollars. Even Sony's Aibo which is a lot smaller than Biscuit will run you anywhere from one to two thousand dollars for the latest model. If it walks it also has to be able to navigate around corners, walls and edges. If it can't do that you'll find yourself having to constantly rescue it from walking into walls repeatedly. Usually a walking robot without the ability to navigate will end up hitting a wall and will keep trying to walk THROUGH that wall repeatedly untill rescued.

I just sits and lies down. It also sits up and begs. Its ears move and it tilts its head and can recognize certain commands. I personally wouldn't recommend it because it has a VERY noisy motor and makes it even less realistic but my 7 year old bought it with her own money and loves it!

I really need to raise my sons allowance if a 7 year old has her own $150. lol

This robot is bigger than the cheaper version and it also has a light up "gun" that the cheaper version doesn't. It walks by itself, which I am not sure if the cheaper version does or not. It walks, talks, and fires it's "gun", lots of fun for a little boy. Hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions :)

There was very little to do. This toy has been amazing for my 4 year old. It rides over all kinds of stuff and he loves it. The battery stays charged for a good while also. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Hope this helps.

Hi Corinna,I bought the dinosaur for my grandson and he uses it in imaginative play as part of a dinosaur "family." You know the kind of thing- one is the mommy, one's the daddy and the hatch 'em dinosaur is the baby- and they have dinosaur "adventures" together. So, yes, he does play with it, but not every kid likes to do that kind of play and I can't think what else you could do with it. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics. Wish I did! Good luck.Pym fan

Dear Mr. Dutton, My grandson stepped on his 7" right after Christmas and I too an trying to figure out what to do with his screen. I will hold onto this email and if I find out something I will let you know. I would appreciate it if you could do the same thing for us. Sincerely, Liz Benage

The float is functional. You need to address the fear issue. The float does not take away the fear. Yor son will enter the pool on his own if he finds it us a pleasurable fun experience. I suggest there should be someone really upclose with him.. with lots of distracting floaties/toys around him and his friends swimming around having fun. You can also build his confidence by tying the float to something like a watermelon and demonstrate that even it can swim :)All the best and have fun out there!!! This float is really awesome design. Our son should be off of it this summer. Fingers crossed :)) The float is functional. You need to address the fear issue. The float does not take away the fear.

Yes. I think he will enjoy standing behind the buggy riding along like a skateboard BUT holding on :) I see other kids doing this same thing and it works great. He will have to get use to standing though.....a new concept for him :)

I found this blog post that does an excellent comparison of the two models. Hope it helps others trying to make sense of things!<http://talesofamountainmama.com/review/kid-cos-new-2013-peapod-and-peapod-plus-comparison>

If he has been around any type of video games i.e. DS etc... It is just like an android phone without the phone feature. If he has played games on a cell phone then he should be fine. I wanted to keep all of electronics on the same platform is why I choose this for my son. It is a little slow on the boot up. But you have access to both Google Play and Amazon apps which gives you a lot more choices. The other thing is is that I get a weekly report of usage and downloads via email.Hope this helps.

Yes. I bought this for my son when he was just starting to show interest in walking, and he was good with it. With some time, he was able to "steer" so he wouldn't get stuck. He has had it for a couple months and still pushes it and rides it.

It's supposed to be that way. The child should not lean too far forward or it can tip over. If they sit in it correctly,(in the middle) that won't happen. The idea is for the child to push with his feet then pick them up and put them on the front black foot prints while they wiggle the steering wheel back an forth continuously and it will self propel. It is good exercise and great fun. If they turn the steering wheel backwards and do the same process as described the toy will self propel in reverse (only recommend for a little bit older kids). My grandkids love these riders. They ride in the garage, driveway--anywhere that's not too bumpy (like grass). It's supposed to be that way.

I went searching, the best looking I found to this mouse, looks like a brown house spider? the one in the pic I saw seemed to have the same bulbus body shape and leg stance what throws me is the V shape head that runs into the back or midsection mainbody, anywho works great still freaks everybody out, Goal Achieved

It has no problem and in general moves very well. He is also a lot more graceful moving then his big brother Robosapien. It does though have a somewhat low center but it hasn't seem to affect the Roboquad. Maybe out side it may matter more but that will have to wait for summer to test out

I think he would be too young. I have a 6 and an 8 year old. We played it with the 8 year old, who can read. She enjoyed it the first time and we went easy on her, since we knew her routes. (We had to explain it to her as we went along.) Then we let her play it without our help and she ended up crying because she was so disappointed to not play so well. It's a great game but my kids are both too young for it yet.

I can only base my opinion on what it has done for Lance. He has always had very bad separation issues, and is really freaky even if I just go out front without him. This hasn't cured the issues, but he is a lot calmer since I started using this. It does take awhile to start working, however. You may want to start it at your current place, then move it with him when you take him over there for good. That way he has been exposed to it for awhile before moving.

Hi there, I have to say that my little boy's family of Night Furies and Hiccup go on some very boisterous adventures every day and Hiccup has managed to survive them all so far. His little sword has been bent on one occasion and almost lost down the bath plug hole on another, but his prosthetic leg holds up quite well to adventure. Hope this is helpful. cheers!
