I was leafing through an issue of Parents magazine, and saw an ad
for the "My First Sony" line of products that are designed for kids.
In among the expected items such as tape recorders and sing-along
boxes, there was a CD player, in bright red (I think), with a big
handle! I have no idea of how much this cost.
I can just imagine my 5-year-old with it....

I think I remember seeing the 'My First Sony' CD player advertised
in a Child World flyer for around $140.

The January issue of Digital Audio has a product blurb on this.
The model number is D-5000 and lists for $199. It appears to be
based on the D-4. To quote:
"The D-5000 was designed with small hands in mind. Housed in brightly
colored tough plastic and equipped with oversize buttons and knobs, the
inexpensive (well, relatively) unit pays special attention to vibration
damping and laser tracking, which Sony claims is excellent. A supplied
microphone permits kids to sing along, and a built-in, full range mono
speaker lets them listen in the company of friends. Other features
include a stereo line out, automatic music search, high speed search,
DC-in jack for an optional AC adapter (the D-5000 uses six 'C'
batteries), and CD3 compatibility."
Apparently the first 10,000 units come with a free CD3 disc of
children's songs!
