Will my 2 year olds be able to change the volume on the headphone cord? If so, will I be able to tell?

Yes there is a volume control on the headphone cord. Not sure what you mean by whether you could tell.

my kids do not use headphones in our van. when we're on the highway it does get louder obviously from road noise and the volume won't go up any further. To me and my husband, we are thankful it doesn't go any louder. it works just fine for my kids. My one daughter does sometimes put the earbuds in. so I would say it works OK with no headphones.

All I know is that on the one we have, you can change the sound by adjusting the little screws that hold the plates down. I am waiting for my son, who has perfect pitch, to see how much can be done.

i wouldn't say that it would 'limit' to safe levels, but you can control the maximum volume your child would be listening to. if your child is like mine before the age of 1 (she was able to adjust an iPad/iphone to max volume with a swipe of her finger!), you would be able to pre-set the volume on the headphones by the turn-wheel on the wire of the headphone, a skill that would definitely be more difficult for a toddler. she would only be able to turn the volume lower if she adjusted the volume on the device herself. so i would set the device on max volume, listen thru the headphones myself to ensure it's not loud enough and adjust the volume on the headphones as i'd like, then let her listen to it.

No, there is a speaker on the unit. My 14-month-old loves listening to music on hers, and there's no way I would ever get her to keep headphones on!

I do not think so. My daughter uses her earphones when she uses it in the car. Otherwise, I do not see a switch for volume on it. My daughter is in school; I can ask her when she gets home.

Yes you can turn these volume settings up, but if this does not work, you may have a faulty one as we did.We had to return the first one and are now on our second iHome.

Give it a shot. Buy some kids headphones so the volume won't go too high. I was surprised when my kids were able to use them at 4 and 2.

you may check the system volume under settings on the tablet. My daughter is age 8 has a normal volume level I invested in a pair of headphones for her to save my sanity good luck:)

YES! YES! YES! One of the reasons I bought it! And you can pre-set the volume so your little one can't blast everyone's (including theirs) ears! Absolutely, one of the coolest features!

We have grandkids from ages 2-9, and they all wear the headphones with no problem. I don't know about using them with the other devices. We haven't tried that yet.

Honestly I'd have to say the sound is kind of annoying if you hear it over & over but it only makes a noise when they find something. The volume isn't adjustable & I don't think there is a spot to plug headphones in. We have 2 & people are more interested in what our boys find than how annoying the noise is lol hope this helps :)

well I got mine for kids, so I am happy with the lower volume but I give them headphones and they are happy with it, I use it to interact with my tv and play things on there so volume is not an issue there either. Sorry this really is of no help if your volume is too low for you.

The three buttons that control the colors, sound and volume are all located in a row right above the elephants tail. Your children will be able to change the colors but it is possible for them to hit the sound and turn the music on as well. The volume has three settings and to me goes quite loud.
