Hi Fi with slot-loading CD

[admin_exported]

Hi, i'm looking for a suitable Hi Fi for my kids bedroom, i'd like a slot-loading CD so they are not tempted to open the draw and swing off it.

Can anybody suggest a suitably priced Micro or Midi Hi Fi that might fit the bill.

Cheers

Swinging off the cd tray????? God forbid. Are you sure they need a hifi???? . If so the Arcam solo mini is slot loading, costs 650 quid and small enough to pick up and throw about randomly. (not recommended). Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the chances of them doing that are less than them forcing another CD into the slot and breaking the mechanism (trust me, I've done it and I'm a grown-up (sic)). Alternatively, give them a boom-box with a top loader.

Thanks for the reply Jaxon5, the Arcom looks good, i might investigate further for myself, however i think its a bit pricey for a Kids room.

Thanks

Thanks JD, i never considered that, Mmmm food for thought indeed. I thought it would be easier to operate without a tray, especially as its for a 5yr old but i take your point, maybe a boom box might be a better option.

Oh especially for a five year old. Go to Woolies and find the best Barbie or Pixar-branded portable CD player you can find for 20 quid.

I got this one.

damn. gotta get me one of those. (do they do them in blue?)

Not in Woolies, no. Silver or Lightning McQueen-themed only. Though notice how much extra you pay for the branding.........

I shall investigate Argos.

Edit: Bingo.

.....as cool as they are, i'm not interested in something that will break within 12 months and need replacing. I think i've found the answer though.....
HITACHI AXM89

it plays mp3 so i don't even have to give him the original CD. Slot CD as well.

Thanks for the advice though.(i think)

Well for 30 quid off ebay, maybe that's your best bet. Our pink boom box is still going strong after two years though
