 A great way to help your child with Math Skills !!!! Nov 29, 2001
By Lee A. Hollomon
I got this toy for my 8 yr old daughter,she is always playing resturant with us(usually Chinese resturant)but thought this would help her in Imaginative play.Little did I know that not only does this toy keep children busy for hours,taking your order,fixing your order, etc,BUT the cash registar is also a calculator,(didn't realize this when i purchased this item)It's great to help with Math and Money skills the cash registar comes with some money, but you can go to your local dollar store and buy play money to put in the registar,Super for learning to count back change, add and subtract and uh-oh i didn't want that item on my order could you change it? Great for kids to learn math without knowing it,I would highly reccomend this toy for any child especially those who just can't seem to get the hang of math.My daughter struggles with math and the whole money math so this really was a great gift for her.Definate 2 Thumbs Up !!!!

 Better cash register sets out there... Nov 14, 2002
By Scott M Parker
Our two children received this item for Christmas last year and they ended up breaking most of it in record time. They aren't especially hard on toys, either. They did enjoy the french fries (cluster of them), and chicken nuggets but the cash register wasn't that great, nor sturdy. They also liked the clusters of coins and the credit cards. They still use those. But the rest was thrown away by Spring! It was too broken to use. There were electronic troubles as well as trouble with the plastic pieces themselves.The toy has name recognition, certainly, for even the youngest children. But, there wasn't much educational value (especially compared to other cash register type toys) and the durability was a serious issue.

A good time for your future restauranteur Dec 26, 2003
By Homeschooling Single Mom
My 6yo son got this toy for Christmas in conjunction with the drive-through set, and while it doesn't fit on the surface of that toy very well, it's a great pretend "restaurant" set-up. I was really amazed that the cash register actually is a working calculator! And of course, little kids love wearing the hat and earpiece - it looks so cute on! The one big complaint I'd have is the quality of the play money. There are 2 sets of one quarter, one dime, and one nickel all glued together, and a fake $1, $5, and $10 bill each. One each! And they're glued to the package and they tear when you try to take them out! The little plastic sundae looked almost good enough to eat! One caveat: Make sure to not lose the key to the cash register drawer, or else it's impossible to lock or unlock it. I recommend supplementing this with some fake toy money if you're trying to teach your child about counting money, but it's still a very high-functioning, fun, and realistic toy that my son really enjoys and plays with a lot.

 You could easily find a better cash register Sep 20, 2005
By T. Distaso
Especially for a $20-25 toy
my kids liked the concept of the Mcds play register but it was very cheaply made IMO.
the money was too small(bills) or too big (coin group)
the best part of this set was the hat and headset.

Dial 'M' for McDonalds Oct 29, 2003
By Kenneth Smythe
My 4 year old nephew thoroughly enjoyed this toy, the fake fries and money keeping him occupied for hours on end... especially when he picked up the phrase "Would you like fries with that?" How we laughed... until he'd said it 10 times in a row which is when we wondered if we had made the right decision in buying this for the little tyke - especially seeing as he was getting more spotty and developing greasy hair! All in all, it kept him quiet - so 4 stars for that; 1 star from me though as it made us feel old before our years and suddenly realised that this is what he may be doing in 14 years time... Durable but age endearing!
