Galt Soft Blocks Pack of 6

Galt Soft Blocks Pack of 6I saw these at a friend's house with her 6 month old baby. I thought they were perfect and got them for my older child shortly after. I think they are the perfect size for young ones and I appreciate that they are soft and won't hurt or do damage to other things & people in the house!

The size of the blocks are toooooo big for baby to grab them.

Diaper Duck Travel Buddy w/ 24 Scented Bags

Diaper Duck Travel Buddy w/ 24 Scented BagsThese are much better than just tossing a dirty diaper into a plastic grocery bag and then tossing it into a friend's trash can. The plastic grocery bag always leaked the unnaturally awful stench of whatever gross nastiness came out of my daughter. This masks the odor. Do your friends a favor, buy one of these.

I had this in my bag for a while then took it out because it takes up too much space. The duck part is cute however completely unnecessary. A hook or a velcro/snap strap you could hook to your bag would be more useful.

It does keep the bags tidy. If you are going to use these rolled bags I recommend getting a holder for them.

The bags that came with the duck were scented and large enough to put soiled cloths in as well. They definitely kept the smell in, so if you found yourself traveling with a yuckie diaper in tow you won't offend anyone.

I received the diaper duck from a friend who was a mother of three and she told me that she would travel no where w/o this in her bag. I was skeptical but after having used it for the last nine months I have to agree. I have put some pungent diapers in these bags and the odor is gone completely. If there is not a trash can around I dump the bag into my diaper bag and forget it is even there. I daily clean out my diaper bag and refill it since we are always on the go and so it gets thrown away but that is just how good the bags are at dispelling the odor. I must say that if I had known about this prior to using my diaper genie then I would have returned it and only used the diaper duck by Munchkin. I have included the link to the refills as I had difficulty locating them on Amazon. When I lived in the States (I am military and AAFES does not sell this item) I purchased it at Target but now I have to order from Amazon as Target.com does not have them available for purchase.

Karate Boy 15" Plush Doll Great Doll For Boy or Girl

Karate Boy 15' Plush Doll Great Doll For Boy or GirlThis doll is much better than I expected. I bought it as a Birthday/Christmas gift for my one year old son. It is well made and very cute. It is the only soft martial arts doll I found that is suitable for toddlers. I know he will love this doll!

Magic Rattle 'n Ride Pooh

Magic Rattle 'n Ride PoohSanta brought this to our 8 month old for Christmas this year and she absolutely loves it. And true to form our older kiddos (2 1/2 & 7) love it too and will play with it long after the baby's gone to bed! What is it about baby toys?! I was concerned, however, about the rattle that comes with it for two reasons: 1. Will shaking it really make Pooh go again? Yep, it really does. 2. What happens if we loose the rattle? Not to worry, Pooh has a button in his foot that makes him go again too.

This was a fun toy for my son to play with, the rattle is not needed to make noise to make the turtle move, my son would just clap his hands. This toy encouraged hand and eye coordination.

I purchased this toy for my friend's one year old son. It quickly became his favorite toy. Pooh is adorable, and the toy holds the interest of the child. The toy is affordable, durable, and entertaining. Even though he is only one year old, my friend's son was still fascinated with Pooh riding around on his turtle.

My 1 year old loves this toy! Pooh sings and turtle moves. I thought it would go faster and it does not go on carpet. Otherwise its a good interactive toy. She learned really fast that she had to shake the rattle to make him go which is a good learning experience. When you do not use it for a little while pooh says goodbye you have to press his foot to activate him again then you can shake the rattle. Overall its a great toy, very Cute!!!

It's a good idea to make a sound-controlled toy. But it's not so perfect. It's noisy for young babies and the surface of the toy is not so soft.

Grimm's Small Flames Nesting Wooden Blocks Stacker, 'Elements' of Nature: FIREMy son loves fire! We light the fireplace and light candles together to watch fire, so I knew these blocks would be a hit. My son loves to play with them as blocks or actual fire. He will even put them in the oven of his toy kitchen when he cooks. These are quality blocks, worth the price!

Careplay Ride-On Play Critter

Careplay Ride-On Play Puppy Critter, PurpleI got this toy for my 11 month old daugther to help improve her walking. She will not sit in her walker so I thought this would be more fun for her. She did learn fast how to push herself in it (it took her a few days) she likes to push it more than ride it, but it goes to fast for her to push it alone so I have to hold her hand. I looked for a lot of walking/riding toys and most seemed flimzy or not study enough, but this riding toy is pretty sturdy. It's kind of a low to the ground toy. My daugther just turned one and she's already getting too tall for it (her feet drag when she tries to push it, but she is a little taller than average).

We got this for our 15 month old son this past Christmas. I wanted a push/ride toy for him to have on our patio outside since we don't have a yard and we live in a small apartment. I wanted one that wouldn't get water inside all the parts and that would hold up to weather and abuse. This was perfect. It is well made with big wheels and a wide enough base that I have never had to worry about it toppling over on him. It requires no assembly, which is an added bonus. It doesn't have all the gizmos and features as a lot of other similar toys but that was actually part of the appeal to me. Overall, I am happy we went with this product.

I love this ride-on toy. I had been looking around in target, toys r us etc for a simple ride-on, but they all had really fancy expensive things. This one is great. Inexpensive, simple and very sturdy, and my 18 month old loves scooting around on it on the deck. It's only weakness is that it doesn't really steer, but she figured out pretty quickly to just get off and move it when she runs into something. It seems more or less unbreakable to me, and totally weatherproof. I definitely recommend it for entertaining active toddlers.

This is a very sturdy toy for a 1 year old who is not yet walking stably. It is made of very thick plastic and does not tip over like most plastic toys do. My daughter is able to sit in it and have her feet touch the floor and also push it as well. She actually likes to sit backwards, facing the higher end and it's still comfortable for her and she likes to push both ends and it works fine either way. We use this at a community center in our neighborhood and they only have quality toys there. I also see older kids (2-3) play with it, too. If I had a large backyard, I would totally get this! I highly recommend it.

My son's pre school has CarePlay riding toys and he loved them when he was 2-3. One day when his little sister, who was not quite one,was visiting school she fell in love with the purple puppy and wouldn't stop pushing it around. The school administrator saw how much fun she was having and let us take one home to use until I could buy one for her. We have now had the toy for a few months and she still plays with it every day. It is mad of thick strong plastic and judging from the toys at my son's school weathers well and stands up to a lot of use.

Lamaze Board Book

Lamaze Board Book, Baby On The GoOur 3 month old daughter loves looking at this the bright colors esp. Whenever she gets agitated, we show her this book, and she quitens down immediately! She in fact reaches out and flips the pages, though I'm pretty sure she isn't aware of what she is actually doing. All in all, a great buy. P.S. the book doesnt have audio sounds, just pictures of animals and the sound they make.

This is a cute book, but I was expecting real sounds with it. It has the picture of the animal and written sound that it makes, but doesn't have a press button to hear the sound.

This book is super cute! Each page has a different number of baby animals (up to 10). It is also interactive as there are flaps to lift up on each page. My 9 month old enjoys this book, although she tries to pull the flaps off instead of up. She hasn't succeeded yet, but I can see the flap seams are weakening. The pages themselves are very thick, like twice as thick as normal board books. However, the edges of the cover are already scuffed after only a couple days of use, so I imagine this book won't stay looking new for long. I would recommend taking a look at the gift set. When I purchased it, it was only a couple dollars more than the book alone. Lamaze Counting Zoo Gift Set

Our baby loves this book. True, it's not very long, and it doesn't "make" sounds. Each page has a picture of an animal, the spelled word of the animal, and the spelled sound the animal makes. It doesn't make the sounds for you, that's your job. "See the CAT? The cat says, "MEOW." I started reading this book to my baby at 4 months old. At five months our baby was actively touching the animals and turns the pages. The pages are super thick (thicker than typical board books) and can't be easily damaged. I will be ordering another one of these.

Alittle overpriced in my opinion. Heavy pages and great little book. Too pricey for what it is.

Actually thought there was sound with it. Would like to have seen the inside before buying.

Jeep Playful Pal Backpack Harness with Removable Plush Dog

Jeep Playful Pal Backpack Harness with Removable Plush DogI bought the Playful Pal Backpack Harness with Removeable Plush Dog for my child and no where on the website tells me that it'll fit a child age 3 to 5 years. The CLIP on the front is NOT the same one that the pictures shows on their package. It is a cheap Made in China piece that does not fully engage the clip to ensure that child's safety. If you child runs, it can unclip and bam you just holding the harness and your child is still running away. Don't buy this!!! At least not until the clip is replace with a better one.

I bought this for my 1 year old daughter for when we go to Disneyland and other public places so she can walk around. When it came I was so excited to try it on her. I was very disappointed to find how cheap the buckle part is. It was very easy for my daughter to unsnap it and break free. It's made of very cheap plastic. On top of that, one of the straps was totally ripped apart so it only went over one shoulder. I am very sad and disappointed as I was looking forward to this product. The only positive is that the material is very soft and the puppy is cute. But the product as a whole defeats the purpose if the buckle won't stay snapped.

We took back back on airplane and to Disneyland. It was perfect size for treats, diaper, wipes. We bought one for our 18 month old and one for our 2.5 year old perfect for both ages. Leash was great in the airport. Backpack was very soft the 18 month old used it as a pillow.

My daughter loves to walk. She hates riding in carts and strollers! This is perfect for us because it gives her the freedom to walk, yet I still have her close! The backpack is constructed VERY well and is roomy enough to actually put stuff in it. She loves the dog on her backpack too! I was looking at many of these and I am incredibly pleased that I chose this one! Thanks Amazon for another GREAT product!

Mini Ariel Plush Doll -- 12'' H

Mini Ariel Plush Doll -- 12'' HI ordered this for a little girl turning one. She likes it but often ignores it as I think she doesn't recognize the character yet. It's soft all over, which is good for younger kids. The materials are not very durable, but should last a while. I believe for someone bringing it everywhere with them that this may get dirty. Unlike other dolls, this one is washable because of no plastic parts. Also, it's much smaller than it looks. It is indeed 12 inches in total length, it just looks smaller because of the oversized fins and head.

All in all, it's a great alternative to a traditional doll, especially for younger kids.

Crawling Crab

Crawling CrabThe crab is smaller than I had expected but is very fun and entertaining. My granddaughter loves the music, colors, and movement. It is very sensitive to touch and starts with the slightest touch which is a good thing. The only negative is that it will not crawl on the carpet.

LeapFrog Tag Junior Toddler Milestones Book Set

LeapFrog Tag Junior Toddler Milestones Book SetI wasn't sure that these books would go over well since Leap isn't a super popular character (not on Nick Jr or Disney Jr that I know of), but since they cover some good topics for toddlers we got them anyway. Our son likes them, and they were discussion starters/teaching tools especially the one about emotions.

I sent these books and the tag reader to my boyfriends grandparents as a gift for his nephew. They were so amazed with the technology. Furthermore, they were amazed by their 1.5 year old grandchild's ability to interact with the books. He was so engaged and excited by the littlest things the book did. I purchased the preschool tag reader a few years ago for a birthday and that child still loves it!

Wonderworld Wheely Giraffe Toy

Wonderworld Wheely Giraffe ToyMy ten month old son loves his wheely giraffe. It withstands all of his bashing. The paint has not chipped after several months of use. The cloth ears got dirty because my son likes to chew the toy more than wheel it.

I am very pleased with this toy. My son loves playing with it. It is one of his favorites. A great alternative to cars.

When it arrived the wood on the bottom of an 'axel' had rough splinters and needed to be sanded. It is now fine.

This is really great. I use this now to entertain my baby during tummy time and I am sure she will love it when she gets older and can manipulate it herself.

Tiny Love Touch and Discover Electronic Play Book in Blue/Yellow

Tiny Love Touch and Discover Electronic Play Book in Blue/YellowThis is a cute book. My 12 month old daughter likes listening to the animal sounds. I only wish it was longer or had more substance to it. It has the cow on the front, and then a page each for a duck, a frog, a sheep, a chicken, birds, and the sun (which plays a short tune). Although in the future she should be able to figure out how to use the book by herself, in general I think this book best for younger infants.

I was really expecting my baby to have fun with this book. After 2 months of light use (Light Use = I do not run a daycare or have other babies in my house), the only sound we can hear now is the cow sound all the time. Currently, none of the other sounds are playing. I tried to contact the TYNI LOVE and they never responded to my emails. Due to the product performance and the help from the manufacturing company, I would have to say that this is the worst product ever.

He will not sleep unless Barney is in his crib with him. Within a few day my son was singing the song with Barney. It is not uncommon to hear Barney's singing coming from my son's room during nap time.
