- The year we started investing in battery-powered toys for our son, we
- invested in a recharger and multiple sets of rechargeable batteries for
- our sanity. He has 2 toys that require 4 AA batteries each, plus we
- have the baby monitor, which requires one 9V. We have 3 sets of (4) AA
- batteries - one for each toy & one for the recharger; we also have 2 9V
- batteries - one for the monitor & one for the recharger. This has
- really helps at 3 am when he wakes up and starts calling for "new
- batteries" because his tape player died. We even take the recharger &
- batteries on vacation with us, since the tape player is often one of his
- "loveys".
-
- Happy holidays!
