Which one lasts longer as my child grows?

The keyboard. A 37-key layout keeps a child playing from age 3 into early school years, while the Dinos are outgrown by about 3 or 4.

Yes if your child is 3 or older and wants music, since it adds keys, a stool, a microphone and a stand. No if your child is under 3 or you want a quiet toy.

Does the keyboard need batteries?

Yes. It runs on batteries and the power adapter is not included, so budget for batteries. The Dinos need no power at all.

Can my child use headphones with the keyboard?

No. It has no headphone jack, so sound comes through the built-in speakers. Use the volume control to keep it low.
