MESA, AZ--(Marketwire - May 12, 2009) - Playentertainment, LLP, the company behind the
highly anticipated educational and interactive learning toy, the vdoBug
Navigator remote control DVD player device expressly for toddlers and
preschoolers, has launched a dedicated Web site for the device and its
line-up of award-winning DVD titles (www.vdobug.com).
Hailed by a number of popular parenting Web sites, the lady bug-shaped
vdoBug Navigator enables small children to select and replay sections of a
DVD without touching the original playback equipment.
NowWhatBaby.com says: "... The vdoBug is not only cute but it is really
easy for a child to use. It takes only moments to program and then your
child uses the buttons on the bug to navigate the DVD. Unlike your remote,
this controller will only allow your child to skip chapters and to press
play. There will be no accidental ejecting, pausing, or stopping followed
by 'MOM -- IT'S NOT WORKING!'"
FireflyAShop.org proclaimed: "... Thankfully the vdoBug is invented. A DVD
navigator just for kids 4-7. How awesome is that! Now the little ones can
actually use this cute little ladybug that comes with 10 buttons each for
the different chapter in the DVD they are watching. The vdoBug is designed
for the DVDs that come with it; there is a great selection of educational
DVDs and some fun ones like 'My Doggie.'"
MomFuse.com recommends: "... Have you noticed how kids love to play with
remote controls? Especially when you're watching a really good movie or a
program you're totally into? Problem solved with the VdoBug DVD Navigator!
Not only will your little one be able to have their own remote control but
they will be able to pause, rewind and play their favorite scenes. Best of
all... this cute little ladybug remote is wireless!"
The vdoBug Navigator features ten buttons that correspond with 10 sections
of the specially-authored DVD. The vdoBug also sports a compartment for
customized menu display cards which overlays identifying graphics for each
of the ten buttons
Playentertainment introduces the vdoBug learning toy on its all-new Web
site with specifically-produced DVD titles from a roster of recognized
preschool brands, including "Baby Prodigy," the award-winning creator of
infant developmental products that provide parents with quality,
educational entertainment for their children from birth through the years
of early childhood; "Munchkins Math," a math program for ages 3-6 designed
to help children strengthen the skills they need to be successful in all
math subject areas once they reach elementary school; and "Shushybye," a
multi award-winning music and character-based sleep-themed lifestyle and
entertainment brand that encourages toddlers and preschoolers to look
forward to bedtime.
The DVDs are authored specifically for the vdoBug and sold separately.
Said Lawrence Meyers, Managing Partner of Playentertainment, LLP: "We are
excited to launch our official vdoBug Navigator Web site, and make this fun
and educational device available immediately to families and their
children. We are also pleased to offer the impressive slate of titles that
are now ready to be enjoyed with the vdoBug Navigator, including 'Baby
Prodigy,' 'Munchkin Math,' 'Digging for Dinosaurs' and 'Shushybye.' The
