TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
The VTech Catch Me Kitty moves across the floor, encouraging children to chase after it. There's a sensor inside so the kitty knows when your child is near, causing it to react with sounds and motion. There is a speed control switch on the bottom to make the kitty go at a high or a low speed, as well as a sensitivity control switch to select high or low sensitivity of the front sensor. You can also turn the cat to explore mode and press the three shape buttons to hear shape names, numbers, and music. Even in this mode, kids can still chase the kitty.
Why It’s Fun
The Catch Me Kitty really gets kids moving, whether by crawling or walking, which is great for gross motor skill development. And the shape buttons are designed to introduce kids to shapes and numbers. Kids will have a blast chasing after this musical and light-up kitty.
Who It’s For
Catch Me Kitty is for ages 12—36 months.
What to Be Aware of
Catch Me Kitty comes with four AA batteries, which are for demo purposes only, so VTech recommends replacing them for best results.
Catch Me Kitty will automatically shut-off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
This toy is a little loud, so just make sure kids aren't playing with their ears right up to it.
