Casdon Chip 'n' Pin Till

Good

nice thing, kids love it although the paper wrapper around the items came away after a few weeks

Our 3 year old son loves this and so from that point of view we can't argue, if he is happy, we are happy. The till is a nice item and great for playing shops though I'm glad I didn't pay more than I did. The till has an electronic till sound that rings when ever the till is opened but is so quiet you really have to listen for it. The chip and pin section was good though only lasted a few weeks and despite checking the batteries, no longer seems to work, I liked the idea that there were two credit cards though each with a different pin number. The till also has a small roll of paper in it that acts as a receipt though our son gave that a tug and pulled the whole reel out so that didn't last long. The empty boxes of food items are a nice touch and added to the fun of the item though the money isn't very realistic so we purchased some Sterling play money separately to go with it. The only reason it gets a 4 rating and not a 3 is because of the sheer play value. Despite its issues it is a great toy and a great learning aid into learning about money.

Nephew loves this item, enjoys playing shop –The till has an electronic ring sound – it’s a little soft so hard to hear and the till draw gets a little stuck.The chip and pin for the credit card did not work which was a really shame –The roll of paper did not come out that easy, or was very easy to just pull out.The food items are made of soft / light cardboard and not very durable.His parent ended up using the really empty boxes instead and sweet to make it more fun and really like.My 2-3 year old nephews are in total admiration with this toy, and it has fast become their number one toy. As the manufacturer stated, the item contains:Chip 'n' Pin till, with working calculatorChip 'n' Pin card reader2 x Chip 'n' Pin cards with separate PINsTill rollPlay food cartonsBatteries not supplied – you will need about 5xAAI purchased some fake coins and cash extra as i was unsure if they were supplied, which they were, but the extra 'fake' money proves invaluable when contextualised to the capacity of toddlers to loose bits of paper or coins.I concer in regards to the cord for the chip and pin by other customers did not raise similar concerns​ with my sister.

Lovely toy for my 3-yr-old son, who loves to play shops. The till itself is great, with cash register noise on opening and an adorable working Chip 'n' PIN machine (the numbers are on the cards, but very small; I wrote it on with a Sharpie so my son can copy it). The food is rubbish; tiny build 'em yerself boxes that fall apart easily, and some teeny tins, so we quickly got rid of those and my son just buys and sells other toys instead. I took advice from other reviews and bought a separate set of play cash, too. The microphone (which doesn't actually do anything) has snapped off ours, which left a teeny metal wire poking out, but it was after six months of very vigorous play, so I'm not hugely surprised, and have just covered up the tiny wire with some tape to stop my son grazing it, although it's so small I doubt it would have been a problem anyway. Oh, and the till roll cover broke off a long time ago, too. So those are the reasons it got three stars rather than four, but it'd probably last a bit longer with a less rough kid!

My Daughter already has an older model but she wanted the chip n pin version as she sees us use it when we go out. Very disappointed that the microphone does not work on this one (as she likes to shout when the store is closing or that a BMW is parked across the delivery entrance). It comes with two credit cards, each one has a different pin number (don't lose the numbers) and you get a red light flash if you input the incorrect pin. It also comes with four little cardboard 'pretend'food packages and a couple of plastic ones. The money is pretty poor so best to buy the fake cash seperate. Not bad for the money and ideal for children over 3. With older children you can explain the calculator function.

I bought this till for my son and he really likes playing with it. I bought some extra coins (early learning centre coin set) to go with it, and some extra play food. The buttons make a fun sound when pressed, and the chip and pin device lights up. The only downside is that the chip and pin device doesn't seem to work as it should - you get a pin number with each card but the lights still light up red, not green as they should when you enter the correct pin! However, this may be a fault with ours only! My sons enjoys playing with it and it is handy for teaching him about the different coins and counting.
