Has anyone ever heard of this product or even better have you had any contact with it? Is it worth it!
Luis is really into computers and video games and Italy seems to be taking an interest in these things too. It sounds really good but i dont want to waste our money if it is really stupid...
Here is the info from the fisher price website...

Finally, a computer learning system that helps your baby learn on the computer as early as nine months old! The infant-appropriate key-topper sits right over your computer keyboard for convenience and protection. Then the learning fun begins. The specially-designed software offers three levels of developmental learning to grow with baby. When baby taps on the keyboard, the screen comes alive with exciting animation, music, sounds and lots of learning activities. What a great way for you and baby to play and learn together!

I bought one of these for Haley, but I got it from www.abcdistributing.com for a little cheaper ( I don't remember how much). Haley seems to like it, but she's really more interested in banging on the keyboard so maybe she is still too young. Also, the keyboard was really hard for me to get situated where it would stay on right. I don't think it was a waste of money, but I think she'll enjoy it more when she's a little older. Since Italy is a year older, it might be perfect for her.
