We own many Leap Frog products, and this one is not my favorite. First, it is very easy for the child to adjust the volume on this toy. There are two settings: low (incredibly loud) and high (cover your ears). If you purchase this toy for your child, make sure that they play with it outside or at the other end of the house. Let's just say that if you give this as a gift, the child's parents will not be happy with you!
The bus plays "The Wheels on the Bus" song as expected, and my daughter likes to honk the horn. There are raised alphabet letters on the sides, that when pressed, will say the letter names or sounds. There is one game that does not work well on our bus, "Find the Letter". The bus will say "Find the letter G". The problem is that the bus' volume is so loud that you can't tell if it wants you to find a G,Z,B,D,C,E,P,or T. This has been very frustrating for my toddler! She's good with letter recognition, but can't find the right letter because she can't understand which one it wants. I can't understand it either.
Our 10 month old enjoys this toy with the sound off. But when I turn the sound on, she cries. It scares her!
Parents, keep looking. There are better Leap Frog choices out there.

I bought this for my son a few years ago because he loved buses, but I was soon sorry I did. It was very loud and annoying, and he stopped playing with it after a short while. The characters tell annoying, stupid jokes over and over, and worst thing was that it kept saying "Push one of my friends"a GREAT thing to tell a kid to do. Of course they meant one of the "friends" on the little bus, but I'm not sure if my son realized that! I tried to contact the company to complain about that one, but they never responded.

Our 14 month daughter loves this talking toy. She has recently been pointing at letters around her (on signs, t-shirts, books) and saying them. We wondered how she had learned to recognize and say so many letters of the alphabet, then realized it's from pressing the letters on this talking musical bus. She also enjoys the "wheels on the bus go round and round" song it plays, rolling her hands to the song. It's been dropped many times and shows no damage.
Honest reviews on LeapFrog: Fun and Learn Phonics Bus
We bought this toy for our 10 month old because he loved the song, "Wheels on the bus". He loves it! He is now 18 months and still plays with it. At the beginning he just played with the buttons that made the song come on and the animals. As soon as the song came on he would smile and dance! As he got older he became more interested in the alphabet buttons. Now he imitates the sounds of the alphabet and some of the animals. He also pushes it around with his other cars. I am online buying one for my niece for Christmas. This toy has brought many smiles to my husband and I as we watch our son get so excited over it. Only drawback it is just the first verse of the song.

My son got this last Christmas when he just turned 2. He loves it and still plays with it. It has helped him to recognize the alphabet and he loves to sing along with it. It has been tossed and dropped dozens of times with no malfunctions. I highly recommend it!
