Great toy, make the batteries in the cassette replaceable

My kids received the "cassette player" as a gift and played with it many many times until the battery ran out.

However I was disappointed that the cassette was designed to be thrown away once the battery ran out. Going to the website and seeing they have a replacement cassette, but it was also sold out, was very disappointing.

I also decided to open the cassette, and while I did damage the wood casing on the way to open it, also discovered an easily swappable set of standard CR2032 lithium-ion batteries on the inside. This cassette could and should be designed in such a way that you can easily open up the part for the batteries and replace them. I plan on doing this by simply drilling 4 small holes in 4 corners of the backplate and installing tiny wood screws, so the next time the battery wears out I can replace the batteries!

Fun toy but very disappointing approach to sustainability

My kids love to play with this toy and have spent many hours recording themselves. The battery just died, and now Kiko advises that it be thrown away and a new one purchased. I used a knife to cut open the cassette to find 2 simple CR2032 batteries. These batteries are ubiquitous and very cheap. Why would you design a product that needs to be entirely thrown away, rather than simply allowing customers to replace the batteries? The amount of waste is baffling.
