I have one in DDs room, she just doesnt know what it is Atm I use it for her Music for Dreaming CD, and then when she is older, I guess we will use it for other fun music. I dont think there is anything wrong with them having a CD player, and if its out of their reach, then they wont be able to use it without your permission.

Eta - The one we have is a Sanyo from Kmart. Think it was about $60, and its pink!
