Non Kiddie CD Player Good for Kids? [DaddyShop]
The Sony CD Boombox with Digital AM/FM Tuner is a non-kiddie CD player that may be good for kids.
I was looking for a kiddie CD player and went to BestBuy. They had the Sony CD Boombox with Digital AM/FM Tuner (ZSE5RED) on display, but not in stock. (This is because I found the one I wanted, which is never in stock.) The other CD players were either too expensive or seemed too cheaply made to withstand my kid, who can break anything. (Including the internal power supply on a desktop computer. Without opening the case. Seriously. I’ll tell you about it sometime.)
I looked for a kiddie CD player, but soon realized that CD players, even those made specifically for children, are getting more and more scarce. Why? Because everything is MP3, bay-bee. I mean, your 6-year-old has their own iPod, right? Amirite?
Well, my kid doesn’t have an iPod, and he broke both of the old CD players I’ve given him the past couple of years, so it was time for something new. I wanted something that would be easy to use and would hopefully withstand the rigors of Destructo The Magnificent. Despite the fact that it is not, technically, a kiddie electronic device, the Sony CD Boombox with Digital AM/FM Tuner (ZSE5RED) appears to fit the bill. It’s big and colorful and seems well-made. At $38.94, it’s a little more than I’d like to spend, but the cheaper options are so cheap as to be D.O.A. (Including the morceau de merde that we bought at Target which was broken even before Destructo got his adorable, if destructive, hands on it.)
Anyway, I haven’t bought the Sony CD Boombox with Digital AM/FM Tuner yet, but I’m going to because it appears to be the type of CD player that is good for kids even though it was made for adults. In theory. Will keep you posted.

1GB SpongeBob Media Player Only 15 Bucks
You love music. You love video. You love SpongeBob.
Wait, let’s try that again.
Your CHILDREN love music. Your CHILDREN love video. Your CHILDREN love SpongeBob. And because you love your children, you tolerate their love of that weird little yellow water creature.
So, being a good parent, you will buy them a SpongeBob Media Player. It’s only $14.99. Yes, it’s refurbished. But look at it this way. No matter what you buy for your child, they will probably break it. This is way cheaper than an iPod, and they’ll think it’s more special because it has SpongeBob on it. Heck, buy two. It even has games on it (I’m guessing something like “Squidward Invaders”; I just made that up, so don’t blame me if it’s something else) and can act as a USB Mass Storage Device, which is more than I can say for an iPod. (Take that, Steve Jobs.)

Discount at The Shelving Store
As any stay at home dad knows, you sometimes develop womanly tendencies. I don’t mean breasts, although, hey, it could happen. I mean getting excited about things that you never knew existed. Things like a sale at The Shelving Store.
It goes something like this:
“A sale at The Shelving Store? Well we need more shelves in Johnny’s closet. If I had more shelves I could organize his closet much more efficiently. So a sale? On SHELVING? Is this my lucky day or what?”
Definitely “or what.” If you’ll excuse me, I need to go visit a strip club and then shoot a wild animal. Right after I place my order for new shelves. Family first.
Free Shipping at The Shelving Store
Who doesn’t need shelving?
The free shipping offer is for Mother’s Day. Personally, we do not recommend buying your mother shelves, even if they are very nice shelves. The deal is good, though. Buy some of these and install them for mom, maybe, while also getting her something else.
Free Shipping Offer – good on orders above $199.
