Kids love to emulate the “big ones”. That’s why they usually prefer to play with their parents’ tools all day long. Sometimes this is possible, but sometimes not, because a conventional sewing machine is simply too dangerous for a small child. The manufacturer Playgo has taken this to heart and with the model “My First Sewing Machine” has brought a children’s sewing machine onto the market.
What is the scope of delivery?
The sewing machine with functions for children has a needle guard, a small and cute foot pedal, a light and much more. For example, you will also find two small bobbins with thread included. We award 4 of 5 stars.
Which functions are offered?
This model is not really suitable for sewing as with a conventional model, rather it is suitable for kids who have fun, e.g. emulating their mom or dad. The Playgo is powered by 2 batteries (2 x 1.5 V C), these are not included in the scope of delivery and must be purchased separately. The sewing machine is suitable for children from the age of 6 years, it should initially only be used under the supervision of parents. We award 4 of 5 stars.
How is the handling?
As already mentioned, it is not really possible to sew with this model, but this is not really disturbing, because many kids don’t even care. It’s a pity, however, that at least we think that the kids shouldn’t play with the device alone at first because of the small parts, as they could choke. Similarly, parents look up their ratings on Amazon. We award 4 out of 5 stars.
How is the processing?
The sewing machine is made of colorful plastic, which looks nice but not very valuable. However, you can’t expect much more in view of the purchase price, we can see from the valuations. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the price/performance ratio?
Currently you can get My First Sewing Machine for 0 (price currently not available, estimate based on the original price) Euro in the online shop of Amazon. This is fine. We award 4 of 5 stars.
What is the conclusion?
The sewing machine for kids from Playgo looks sweet as sugar, is easy to operate and is not expensive. Moreover, the little ones enjoy playing with it, according to most parents. We award a total of 4 out of 5 stars based on customer opinions and product description. At Amazon we currently find 1 customer reviews, which award an average of 1.0 stars.
