A play toy equipped with a barcode reader, which has a simple structure and is capable of outputting detection accuracy required for play toy, is provided. A guide member 57 extending parallel to openings of a movable member 37 is received within a reader body of the barcode reader. A barcode sensor holder 59, which slidably holds barcode sensors on the guide member 57, is mounted. There is provided a rotation link 61 of which one end rotates on a rotation center axle 65 and the other end thereof slidably connected to the barcode sensor holder 59. Using energy released from a first spring 67, the rotation link 61 is rotated to move the barcode sensor holder 59 from one end to the other end of the opening 41. Using energy released from a second spring 70, the rotation link 61 is rotated in reverse on the rotation center axle 65 to return the barcode sensor holder 59 from the other end to the one end of the opening 41.
