Only two years old doesn't cool anymore. Has this happened to anyone?

Lucky you! I only got one year. If the fans work, the temp readout works, light works, everything works but doesn't cool it is a $5 dollar part. I spent $8 total to fix mine. I will try to include some links to help you. You can buy the parts on Amazon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBhVS7GhCOM

I have only had mine about 2 months, but I'm not terribly happy that it doesn't get cold enough.

Yes. You wasted your money just like I did. Mine quit after a couple of months. They said to send it back to them and they would fix it for free. I boxed it up and took it to the UPS store. They wanted $300 to ship it from PA to California. The thing only cost $225 to buy new. Bought a replacement from Home Depot (different brand of course).

We purchased the same item about 1 year ago and have had no issues with it. The baby even bangs on it and messes around with it. It sounds like you have a defective unit and should request a replacement at no charge.

My daughter had the same problem . She just doesn't use it anymore . Not worth it !!!

Same here: both two years old and both curling up at the edges and seems to be coming apart at the edge- tripping is now a constant issue. Not near the oven.

Both my daughters are having this issue, and what do you know the warranty has ran out. My nephews had the same issue. His was under warranty and was fixed. I will give them a call and see if it is even worth fixing. At least the kids got a year out of them.

Yes, but honestly, my 2 year old really was not that interested in it. It's sort of annoying. She liked the LeapFrog toys like this better.

We have the Hello Kitty model. A week ago, ours started doing the same thing, making a very loud whirring fan noise. At first i was able to move it around and i got the sound back to the original "whisper quiet" sound level. Turned it on tonight and the fan is dead. Got it November 2010, so we're two months out of warranty... :(

I bought it for my daughter when she was 6 months and I ended up giving it away. It wasn't comfortable for her to sleep in. My brother has it now for his older children and he loves it, but I wouldn't recommend for under 2years. Maybe it is my car seats? They could be more inclined

We live in the northeast so it may not get as hot as where you are. We have used it in the high 80's and mid 90's and it hasn't gotten hot that we noticed or the toddler was uncomfortable riding in. It's a great seat as far as I'm concerned

It's been my experience that most children are little heaters regardless. I have not noticed an change in their temperature or sleeping habits. They are too young to be trusted with answering the question. We are happy with them and would buy them again.

I'm getting one for my two year olds room. plan on positioning it behind a dresser so most of it is covered up, but if by chance he does touch it, then he will learn real quick to never touch it again. There are a whole lot worse things in a house that are much more dangerous than a little heat. It's not life or death.

I haven't tried it for that...it works well for cooling...I wonder if it would make your child too cool..don't know where you live...if it's hot it would feel good.

I don't believe they get hot. My 2 and 4 yr old have never mentioned it being that way

Not in my experience. It does not make my kids any hotter than they would be sitting in their car seats without it in there, even in the summer. I've never noticed either of them being sweatier in the areas that are in contact with the piddle pad, and my oldest (who could actually tell me if he is uncomfortable) has never complained. (I live in Texas, where it is hot more often than not, so I definitely would have noticed if this was a problem.)

No it's more like for ages 2 or 3 max, my little girl love it for a month then put it aside. She's four now and totally outgrew her mentality.

I think you would be better off going with another toy. This one might not interest a 2 1/2 year old.
