Calgary’s Peapod Toys believes that music should be a part of every infant and toddler’s learning process and has come up with this MP3 player that can store up to 2 hours of music or stories for over 40 hours with a single AA battery. The Peapod also features a built-in speaker, parental volume control, an AC adapter for nursery use, software for downloading and managing content from your PC, and a simple interface that they claim infants can control.

Displayed at the NY Toy Fair 2007 this week, we’re just grateful that its cover is chewable rubber just in case your baby decides to spit up all over “Baby Einstein.” Due out in May, contact Peapod’s website for price.
