VTech - 3-in-1 Learning Zebra Scooter

VTech - 3-in-1 Learning Zebra ScooterGrandma and Grandpa delivered the Zebra Scooter to our 28-month-old grandson this past weekend. I (Grandpa) could hardly put it together since he was so excited about the scooter. Would the excitement last? After screwing on the wheel and securing the seat, he was off! He rode it around the house and outside. We took it to the park and he rode down the hill. He kept saying 'I love this'. And he certainly proved that. The scooter is a 'cute' design.... I think it looks more like a cow. It is well-made, and did not scratch or mar the wood floors. Technologically, it was more advanced than I thought it would be. There are 3 different attachments that plug in to the top of the zebra head: a compass, flashlight, and walkie-talkie. These attachments will 'program' the toy to give different responses when the lighted buttons are pushed. Yes, this toy does speak and play music. The parents were going to put some tape over the speaker to mute it, but I didn't find the sounds intrusive, even while we watched football on TV. The speaker has a loud and soft setting, and the music and voices are pleasant enough. I didn't get a chance to listen to all the messages, because our grandson 'claimed' this toy and was energized by it. The 3 different modes of the scooter are really inventive. The basic, seat-down position is his favorite, as he can scoot around all day on it that way. The seat can be raised a bit for another position, which is used to push the scooter. He was also able to sit on it in this mode, sort of like an Easy Rider position. The third position is the standup scooter. He is a bit young for this, but took the challenge, and managed to scoot around with some help. His Mom and Dad said the toy was a hit, and we got our share of 'I love you's' from our grandson.

Congrats to V Tech for making a neat toy for young kids. This is a perfect gift that should get a lot of use.

I got this scooter for my two nephews. One is almost two, the other is a newborn. The great thing about the scooter is it converts from a walk-behind toy for toddlers learning to walk, to a sit on scooter to a standing scooter. The conversion is pretty easy and requires no tools.

I was very impressed with the build quality of the scooter. Some assembly is required (isn't it always). But, it's not bad. The sounds the scooter makes might get annoying to parents after a while. But, there is a volume control on it (two position switch). As for learning, my first thought was "Kids aren't going to learn an awful lot from this". The manual didn't really detail how to use all the functions. But, then I realized an 18 month old ain't gonna be reading the manual anyway. There are buttons to push and things light up and just maybe they'll learn something from the animals and songs on the scooter. But, the main thing they'll learn is cause and effect, at that age.

I think my nephews will love this toy and it'll be something they can use for quite a while.

Normally I associate V-Tech with learning toys. I think they are now branching into other areas. This is a well built scooter. Has more than the basics, lights, music etc. Not sure if the kids actually push all the knobs and whistles while actually driving it as a scooter. It is sturdy, looks nice and bright. Can be used in multiple modes, a push walker, scooter etc. Looks cute too. Do you need a $50 scooter that can blink and whistle... it is upto you. For the money it does a admirable job.

My 9 month old loves this toy! He rides on it while being pushed around or moving his feet to cause it to roll forward. He's very intrigued by the flashing lights and sounds. The clarity of sound is amazing,,not muffled at all. Causes my infant to pay attention to what's being said. Goes well in my son's Safari themed play room. I love that the baby can sit on it, use it as a walker (that does not tip), and eventually use it as a scooter! Says it is to be used starting at 18 months, but my 9 month old is doing just fine with this toy..just as he does with the Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Stride-to-Ride Dino. Great that he will enjoy this for years to come and it's very easy to interchange between the different functions. Excellent education about different animals too. Kinda pricey here but I got a deal elsewhere when it was on clearance for about $30 bucks. Worth every penny!

My son recieved this for Christmas when he was 8 months old...He loves being able to push it all around the house without our help and it has so many lights and songs that keep him entertained for long periods of time. This has also been a favorite for my 2 year old. She enjoys being able to sit on it and ride around the house. She is very small for her age (at 28 mths she's 20 lbs and 29 inches tall) and she can reach the ground with her feet to do it herself, which has been a problem with other ride on toys. It is very stable and we haven't had issues with it tipping for either of the kids. It has also held up very well to their abuse...It's been rammed into many walls and shows no signs of wear at all. I think that it will definately hold up to many years of fun for our kids.

Sassy Caterpillar Mobile With Suction Arm

Sassy Caterpillar Mobile With Suction ArmI bought this toy to hang from my infant daughter's car seat the day after she screamed nonstop in that seat while we were eating in a restaurant. I really like the assortment of hanging toys. The turtle has a mirror in the belly, the snail is a rattle and the butterfly is filled with colorful beads to shake. I also like that I can hang the toy from the car seat handle in two ways one to keep the hanging toys up high and spread out, the other to keep them hanging lower and group close together. But, my favorite feature is the car-window hanger. I might be tempted to keep the car seat handle up while we're driving so my baby could look at the toy (which would be a safety hazard), but having the suction cup on the window lets me move the toy off the car seat but still let my baby play with it while we're driving. A great design and a great toy!

We suctioned this onto the window of our car. Within about 4 days, the suction part flattened out, losing the concave suction ability. This was a shame because our baby was so captivated by it. It's very multipurpose so not all is lost, but very disappointed about our defective suction.

My 3-1/2 month old would scream every time I put him in the car. I would have to drive with one hand on the steering wheel, and one hand keeping his pacifier in his mouth. I attached this mobile to his infant carrier and used it for the first time today. He was so mesmerized by the dangling bugs that I didn't hear a peep out of him the whole car ride!! Totally worth the ten dollars I paid for it.

Could it get any better? I don't think so. This is the best $10 I've spent so far. We take this mobile everywhere! It works in the car, either on the window or on the infant seat handle. Also, I hang it in my pack-n-play since the mobile that came with it is so boring. I have also used it on the window above the rocking chair for our son to look at during feedings! I love this product & so does our son; he never seems to tire of staring at it and as he gets older different parts interest him.

Want Sassy Caterpillar Mobile With Suction Arm Discount?

I researched this idea over and over. I could not decide which product to get as I knew I wanted something unique that would stimulate baby. THIS IS IT!!! The suction cup can stay on the window and the caterpillar and toys can come off and attach to your stroller or infant seat with magnets inside the fabric. WHen the car is in motion, so is the toy allowing baby fun for hours!!! I highly recommend this one Just be careful not to knock it off when the door is open!!! A++++++++++++

Little Tikes DiscoverSounds Tumblin' Music

Little Tikes DiscoverSounds Tumblin' MusicMy son got this for Christmas when he was just under six months old. At the time he was sitting up. He instantly liked playing with it and would sit in front of it for quite awhile gumming the shapes and pushing buttons. At 7 months he was crawling and would still sit in front of this for quite awhile, and he started to enjoy taking the shapes out of the tray. I would put them in their slots and he'd take them out the bottom. Now at 8.5 months he can put the circle into the correct slot himself. He still gets a lot of enjoyment out of putting things inside and taking them out. He puts things in that don't belong and tries to put all three shapes in the circle slot. This toy holds his attention longer than any other. My only complaint is that the shapes are awfully hard to push into their slots due to the little tabs that cue the music. My son can't push them in all the way without help.

Overall a great toy and it's definitely teaching him about shapes!

We got the music center as a gift when the baby was 8 months. From the very beginning my daughter felt in love with it. She doesn't use the shapes yet, but she definitely enjoys the music parts. She is 9 months now and she plays with it every day. Her favourite play is to press a key to start the music and then stand up and dance holding onto the handle (on the right). The only thing is that the toy is too tall, so when baby is using it to stand up it can fall. To avoid this I put it close to some furniture (cabinet or low bed) the way that the back part of the toy goes underneath the cabinet. This way even if my baby is pulling on the top of the toy it moves, but does not fall.

There is a little yellow piece that attaches to the top of the cymbal and it easily popped off and my 8 month old daughter almost choked on it!! The toy was brand new and she took the part off herself, I was so lucky that I was sitting right there and was able to quickly get it out of her mouth. I sent an email to the manufacturer but I would hate for anyone else to buy this product and have a child choke.

Baby's First Laptop Computer Playset

Baby's First Laptop Computer PlaysetI got this for my (11 months old at the time) daughter for Christmas. It is great for a small baby. Mine wasn't very durable, though. She really didn't play with it that much and the star easily came off. The star also came off of the little earth pouch. The rocket makes a cool rocket sound but it stopped working soon after it was opened. Other than these few complaints it is a cute toy and I think good for a first play laptop for babies. I also paid much less than the current almost $20 listed price. I wouldn't pay $20 for it, and after the problems really the $12 I paid for it wasn't really worth it. But, maybe it was just a flaw with mine. Still a neat toy.

Not that great of product. Flimsy and not very entertaining. Makes cool sounds, but one broke after only a few weeks of use. Doesn't come close at all to adult laptop for child to even think it was like her parent's. Not worth the price. Should be about $10 cheaper.

Fisher-Price Little People Builders Classic Shapes Blocks

Fisher-Price Little People Builders Classic Shapes BlocksMy son was given a Little People bus filled with the Little People blocks when he was 12 months old. He has been banging the blocks together since then, and learning how to put them together. These blocks are large enough that I didn't worry about him choking on them. Now that he is older (20 months), I wanted some additional blocks for him, but didn't want to have to buy a Little People jungle or other some such kit, all I wanted was blocks to expand on what we have already. I didn't want to change brands, since his blocks attach to the bus carrier that we have already. These blocks fit the bill perfectly! There are several arches, roof shapes, and round and square blocks to help him build more complex shapes. They come in several colors so we can work on naming colors as he builds, can work on shapes (round and square, big and little) and they are easy for him to hold and push together. I actually bought 2 of these, one to keep at grandma's house! I'm very happy with my purchase!

My daughter had the little people builder wagon so I wanted to extend the set she had...I wish I never would have bought the wagon so I could have bought better blocks. For a Fisher Price set this is really disappointing! As a few other reviews mentioned these blocks DO NOT stay together-which defeats the purpose of blocks. Currently my 18 month old enjoys playing with them because they are brightly colored & new and can't get many together...but as she grows I know we will both be even more disappointed. For the price this is a rip off.

Buy Fisher-Price Little People Builders Classic Shapes Blocks Now

I thought this set would be a great starter set for my son. He isn't too interested in building with them yet, but gets the concept when I build something. I am a little disappointed that some of the blocks don't fit together very well. Some of them don't "lock" together and are easily taken apart, rather fall apart. We will have them out for his building skills, but will likely get another set once he gets the hang of building. For the money, it's pretty good, I like the many different shapes, but would prefer them fitting together better.

We bought this for my 6 month old son per advice of a friend that recommended blocks. The bag is a nice storage compartment that my son will tip over and it makes him laugh, but the block quality is another story. While I will stack them and my son knocks the blocks over, a lot of times the blocks collapse on their own. I have used Lego Duplo's and they stick together like traditional legos where as these blocks can barely hold four pieces on top of another.

Baudino Spilling funnel

Baudino Spilling funnelWe had a great time with this toy at the beach. I admit that I played with it as much as the kids. It takes just the right mix of water and sand to work correctly. Once we got it going it made some really fun structures. With supervision a five year old can manage this toy. The younger ones had a hard time with it.

The spilling funnel was so much fun at the beach. I bought this for my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren. Although my three year old granddaughter could not always work it properly she was fascinated by the all the "structures" we could make with the funnel. She had fun filling it with the water and sand and then watching as other people made things. My five year old grandson got the hang of it after watching some adults use it. We made a sand village and used the funnel to make walls, towers, little buildings, hills, mountains in our village. All in all a great purchase! Kept the adults as well as the kids entertained for hours.

I love the durability and diversity of this toy. It digs sand, pours water, and shapes sand castles, all without cracking or faltering. Love this toy, we've had it for over 2 years now and do not go to the beach without it. We frequent CA beaches and highly recommend this toy for sand play.

Gund Baby 12" Sweet Dreams Dolly - Pink

Gund Baby 12' Sweet Dreams Dolly - PinkI purchased this doll for my 19 month old granddaughter. She had already received one as a gift and instantly became attached to it. As a precaution, I ordered an "emergency Baby", in case Baby #1 got lost or needed a wash. This little doll is so soft and cuddly, and she is very durable. My granddaughter loves to pretend to feed Baby, so the doll is frequently in need of a trip through the washing machine. During those times, my daughter substitutes Baby #2. I highly recommend Sweet Dreams Dolly for any child who loves to snuggle and feel secure with an adorable just-the-right-size dolly. Five stars for sure I'd give more if I could!

I purchased the Gund "Sweet Dreams" Dolly from Amazon.com for my granddaughter. I bought it last Christmas....it took until now (1 year old) for her to really "latch" onto it. She just loves it. Carries it around everywhere.

I thought it would be great for her FIRST doll because it is so soft....nothing at all on it that could hurt her. I'm glad I was able to purchase her "first" baby doll for her. Really cute!

Fisher-Price Disney's Winnie the Pooh - Pooh's Musical Pop-up Choo Choo

Fisher-Price Disney's Winnie the Pooh - Pooh's Musical Pop-up Choo ChooWe've now had this train for more than 6 months. He is still pretty rough with slamming the characters down and grabbing them when they are up. It's been a durable toy and helps teach cause and effect (push a button, something happens; pull or push the train, music plays). He still plays with this toy almost every day, so he's liked it a lot. As a parent, I wish it had a little more educational aspect Pooh asks to go on another ride, and if the child actually moved the toy again, it would be great if there was acknowledgement of the child's response. Each character pop-up only has two phrases, which can get on an adult's nerve after a while. However, it is still a favorite of his.

While a very cute toy train, there is not much to hold a child's interest (or an adult's patience). The toy consists of three train cars, one for each Piglet, Tigger, and Pooh. When the keys are pressed, each character makes a noise and says something and that is it 3 sounds to be repeated over and over. The toy seems very durable and the keys are even somewhat too hard for little fingers to press. The pop-up latches also seem to catch, making it hard for little fingers to close. It is cute, but very limited which makes it seem like a toy that will be short-lived.

The construction of this toy is what I want to comment on first. It's SO durable! Most plastic items you can buy at this time are thin and just feel cheap. They're easily cracked and simply don't hold up to constant play and wear. This little train is made of super-thick plastic, has a heavier feel than typical toys, and just feels like it can stand up to being tossed around/stepped on/chewed on/etc. I was very impressed with that aspect.

The actual "fun" factor is quite high for a child probably 8-9 months, as they're just getting into the concept of pushing buttons having a cause/effect. I think children over a year will be bored of the train easily, so the age range on the box could definitely be adjusted. I did like the pull-along feature, which would be great for those just beginning to walk, but the pop-up features would be better for the younger age range.

I didn't take issue with the volume level and the actual tunes/voices used in the toy aren't incredibly annoying as some toys are. Overall, I think the toy is priced a bit high for what you get (3 train cars), however the durability makes up for that. I'm always willing to pay a bit more for quality products. Ooh and the batteries are actually INCLUDED, which I find amazing.

From the second this was out of the box my two year old was glued to this toy. This is a bright colored train that is very interactive. The kids can push a variety of styles of buttons to activate the lids on colored train cars. They are delighted when their favorite Pooh characters pop out and surprise them with an audio voice/musical cue. (The voices/music cues aren't loud or annoying but it is very important to know that you can also turn the music OFF!) There is a pull string for the kids to walk around and make the train travel wherever they go. My two year old loves this train and it doesn't drive me crazy either. Soft edges, fun music, bright colors make this a great toy.

Want Fisher-Price Disney's Winnie the Pooh - Pooh's Musical Pop-up Choo Choo Discount?

Its a fun little train, its probably more appropriate for even younger little ones. The buttons are lot of fun and each need to be turned or pressed a different way which gives a nice little challenge (for the 2 yo not the 4yo!) My kids had a great time playing with this though I will say it doesn't seem to pull very well, its more fun to just sit and play with then anything.

50 Piece Jumbo Sized Wooden Alphabet Blocks

50 Piece Jumbo Sized Wooden Alphabet BlocksThe blocks that we received did not live up to the title. We received 40 blocks instead of the 50 we ordered. Also, the product description lists the toy as: Kid-safe, water-based paint, non-toxicpaints...the blocks we received were made in China which leaves us a little unsettled on the safety for our child and nowhere on the product packaging does it repeat the safety claim listed on Amazon. If we had it to do over, we would have made a different purchase.

Vulli Sophie Giraffe Vanilla Teether, Colors May Vary

Vulli Sophie Giraffe Vanilla Teether, Colors May VaryI bought tons of different teethers for my baby, determined to give her something that would provide her some relief and that she would enjoy chewing on. Out of every one (we have some that are wooden, hard plastic, silicone, gel freezer ones, pacifier-shaped ones, teething necklaces, other natural rubber ones, etc.), this is her absolute favorite. She chews on it all the time. I love the scent of the vanilla as well. It reminds me EXACTLY of the smell of my Cupcake Dolls (for all you fellow 80's kids lol). I am definitely buying her another one so we can take one on the go and not have to worry about losing our only one!

Very cute, smells great and keeps vanilla scent after washing many times. Would give it 5 stars but due to it's size and shape, my son is able to get it into his mouth in awkward positions that could potentially gag him, so I can't leave him alone with it at all. However, in my presence, my son loves chewing on it. Material is better than other teethers. Also, it's quite a bit larger than the elephant/poodle teether set made by Vulli.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Fun with Friends Musical Table

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Fun with Friends Musical TableMy son is 9 months old and just received this toy as a gift. He LOVES it! It has a lot to entertain him with, and he just loves flipping the computer open and shut. He laughs every single time.

I like that it has a few different settings that include ABCs, music, an interactive real life sounds and Spanish with English translation. My only complaint about it is that it doesn't have a volume control like so many Fisher Price toys have!! However, I really haven't been too bothered by it, as the songs aren't very long and are actually rather cute. I find myself singing along with them frequently.

I love that the ABC setting includes numbers, too. Each individual number can be pressed on the telephone. My son also has the Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Table, but it doesn't have a lot of the different features this table has.

I would definitely recommend this toy, it's great.

My 9 mo boy has been playing with this every chance he gets since he was 7 mo. I also know the LeapFrog Learn & Groove(tm) Musical Table because my niece has it. I like this one better because it has a lot more going on. Both kids seem to like this one better if given their choice.

I put the legs on it immediately as he was already starting to lean on furniture, but as other reviewers note they are easy to take off (unlike the leapfrog), which is great for packing. It has been great to see him get more and more steady on his feet. He can now crab walk all around it to choose which toy he wants to use. It looks like great exercise and that is my favorite thing about the toy. of course, he fell backwards a few times while practicing his standing, but that's just in the nature of the toy: do not use unsupervised. Probably best used on carpet.

Others have complained that the computer closes hard and kids can get there fingers trapped. I have to say that although it makes a loud noise, it does not close with any force. Closing the computer with his hand in it seems to be one of my son's favorite things to do and he does it often with no indication of pain or injury. He just slides his hand right out and is in no hurry to do so.

Actually, the biggest problem is that he likes it so much it is sometimes hard to get him off it. When he does get off it and we start to get into a good game of peek-a-boo, it actually pipes up with "hey, I wanna play" and he actually leaves me to go play with it again. I guess there is a timer in it that makes it say this after it is inactive for about 30 seconds. Now I turn it off immediately when he gets off it so it will shut up. I also hide it from view for a few hours a day so that he will play with me, his other toys, visiting grandparents, etc.

Another gripe: the Spanish mode says everything in English first. Since he presses the buttons one after the other, he sometimes doesn't even hear the Spanish word. I don't understand why they need to translate everything from English, since he doesn't even speak English yet. Also, the songs are still in English. So it hardly speaks any Spanish at all. If it is very important to you that your child learn Spanish, the Leap Frog does it better.

All in all, I'm very satisfied with it. I think that it is helping him with walking. I have gotten more than my money's worth and highly recommend it.

My children (even the 5 and 3 year old) love this table. The songs are catchy, but if they start to get too annoying, you just switch the mode to something less noisy, such as the imagination mode where each button just makes a funny sound. In response to the first review about there being no volume control, there actually is a switch under the table that changes the volume from loud to soft.

My 10 month old received this as a gift, and she's very entertained by it. The different modes provide plenty of variety. However, like another reviewer experienced, the laptop toy is easy to catch baby's hands. My little one slammed the cover down on her hand and screamed. It's too soon to tell if this will be a recurring problem, but we're keeping a close eye on things. Another concern is that the table is so light that it slides around and tips over easily. We're going to have to buy a rubber mat or something similar to make this product safer to use. It's surprising to see so many safety issues, especially some obvious ones that would have been caught in product testing.

My almost 10 month old son received this for Christmas from his grandmother. We were all excited about it as he loves to stand up and play. The tabletop activities immediately caught his attention. He loved it. I loved it. I was taking video to share with grandma. Within 5 minutes of it entering the play area, it tipped over on him twice, making him fall backwards with the table on top of him. (video is of first time) Fortunately he did not hit his head, but this toy will not be staying in our home. I don't want my son getting hurt because of the instability of this toy.

Melissa & Doug Princess Soft Toys 10' Plush Checkers CowThis is an adorable little cow, definitely made of the quality and style that we expect from Melissa and Doug toys. It was a lot more sturdy than I expected it to be.

This was small enough to fit in an Easter beach bucket with candy bars, a big Hershey's kiss, Matchbox cars, and a set of LEGO Toy Story Army Men on Patrol (7595) and a bubble sword. It was the perfect touch for a little boy who likes cars and trucks and might not want to admit to liking a stuffed animal. This one left him with his pride intact.

It's a medium sized cute animal. It has a friendly smiley face and is pleasant to touch. I intentionally have been buying non-usual animals (i.e. cats, dogs) so my kid could learn more. I like the cow very much and highly recommend it.

My daughter loves this cow. He is so soft & has slightly weighted feet so that he can stand up on his own. Such a cute stuffed animal---I highly recommend this.

VTech Splashing Songs Ducky Bath Toy

VTech Splashing Songs Ducky Bath ToyThis toy is terrible. So terrible, that even the duck tries to put himself out of misery by flipping head-down into the water within seconds. That may sound a bit morbid but it actually was a bit depressing to put this thing in the water only to have it capsize, go silent, and just float feet-up while my 1-year-old just stared at it like, "um...what's up with this thing?!".

This toy doesn't DOOOOOOO anything. A lot of the techy toys our son has received seem to be almost too complicated so I thought for sure there was more to this one, I just had to figure it out. Nope, it really just does not do a darned thing. The feet move side-to-side manually so I thought there must be something that makes them move/swim in the water...NOPE.

It is an embarrassment actually. I feel bad that someone spent money on this as a gift. Don't make the same mistake they did!

With this being a Vtech toy, I though it would be great. Unfortunately it was a waste of money. The only thing different the duck does when it is in the water compared to out of the water is sing a different song. And if you get it's head in the water it stops singing and the lights stop blinking. The feet will move from side to side, however it's only when you do it manually. Please do not waste your money.

This was a gift for my 9mo, she loves to just watch the light blink as the duck floats and sings to her during bath time. My 3yo loves to operate it for his little sister.

When it's not in the water, it constantly nags to you to "put me in the water to swim".

When you put it in the water, it flips upside down and becomes impossible to hear.

My daughter had more fun pushing the on/off button continuously than anything else.

Do not waste your money. My son got this as a gift and it is pretty cute and works okay out of water. In the tub is another story. it has a sensor yes but it switches off if submerged and you have to keep hitting the button for it to keep playing. My son loved it out of the water but could care less when it came to bathtime. Really dissapointed.

Gund Brights Colorfun Tutti Frutti 11" Plush

Gund Brights Colorfun Tutti Frutti 11' PlushBought this for a three year old girl who loves dinosaurs. As soon as she seen it she loved it. She carries it around all the time!

This little dinosaur was a great gift for my sister's baby since she didn't know if it was a girl or boy. The fact that it has the stitched eyes made it something the baby can play with now though it's almost as big as he is!

In my opinion, this toy is very safe for infants/toddlers. I was extremely pleased at how soft it is and that the eyes and nose are stitched on, not buttons or anything that can be pulled or chewed off. I would have given it 5 stars if it would have stood upright better on its own.

Disney Fairies Toddler Bed with Canopy

Disney Fairies Toddler Bed with CanopyI purchased THREE of these beds for my three little girls. I put all three together myself (go girl power!) and just about required therapy afterward. First of all, the quality is utter crap. The plastic pieces are so lightweight, you can squish them in your hand. Yeah! Second, there are approximately ten bazillion screws you have to screw in. But good luck with that, because the holes only line up about half the time and once in awhile, there isn't any hole AT ALL! If you go so far as to get the bed together, just stop there. There isn't any reason to go further. But if you're a glutton for punishment like me, go ahead and assemble the canopy. Be sure and take pictures of it when it's all put together, because it's darling! And it will only look cute for about twelve hours before your child breaks the canopy. It's made out of metal tubing, held together with the most flimsy, brittle, plastic elbows. Imagine constructing a canopy out of paper towel tubes and masking tape. That's a fair comparison of the durability of the canopy. RIDICULOUS. Embarrassing. Unbelievable that people ARE SELLING this stuff. We've had these beds nearly six months and have made COUNTLESS repairs to the canopies with duct tape. (Yeah! That looks nice and princessy, NOT.) I just finished taking all the canopies down and throwing them in the trash, because all three were broken beyond repair. Buyer beware!!

my daughter is 2 and a half. and she refused to sleep in her old bed for the last month, because one of her friends stayed over and wet her old one... no matter what i did she insisted it was still dirty and wanted nothing to do with it. so i set off in search of the perfect replacement since her old one had been given to me used and was still in outstanding condition, i decided to check out this brand and see what they had to offer. then i found this tinkerbell canopy bed with my daughter on my lap, and she fell in love with the picture (massive tinkerbell fan) i was worried when i read the reveiws and saw that some people were saying it wasnt very well constructed, but i put my faith in this brand because it was the same brand as her old one (only difference is the canopy and that the old one was princesses) i am extremely satisfied with this bed, the picture doesnt do it justice. i was worried that since my daughter is on the tall side for 2 and a half, that the canopy might be too low for her, but instead it has plenty of room, she jumped on her new bed all day (with the canopy on it) as far as worries about the canopy frame being flimsy... it doesnt appear as though that will be a problem either, the fram is thin pvc tubing, however, the way it goes together is just with connectors, so the tubing may pop out of the connectors if it is messed with alot (my daughter played with it all day and never once did it pop apart) but i very much doubt if the tubing would become busted (my daughter also pulled on the canopy frame all day) and it is still in perfect shape. she begged me all day if she could go to bed and was more than happy when 8 o clock came around and i told her it was time for bath and bed. for the first time in a month she was asleep before midnight. i give this product 5 stars and recomend it to everyone! and the picture doesnt do this product justice, to see it in person it is absolutly gorgeous. (this bed took me about 2 hrs to assemble with the "help" of my special little girl who had to spread pieces through the entire room. all that is required to assemble it is a philips screwdriver, not included, all the holes were cut perfectly, i had no problems with getting everything to line up. 2 instruction books, one for the bed, one for the canopy. instructions are very clear, with detailed pictures.) i am very pleased i gave this bed a chance. i have noticed some people just have nothing nice to say about any products! so i recommend checking all reveiws written by each person and seeing which people are just not satissfied with any products!

I put the bed together the first time without the canopy because everyone said how bad of quality it was. The bed looked so plain that I had to put it on. Without the canopy all the tinker bell elements are missing. My 16 month old loves the bed and I have already taught her that the canopy is a "no no" and she is not to touch it. She will lay on her bed and just look up at it. It was easy to put together despite other reviews I have read. All the holes lined up perfectly for me and there was nothing missing. Overall I am satisfied with the bed and so is my daughter. Now I just need to get the making comforter set and we will be all set. I recommend this product to anyone who can control their children when it comes to the canopy since the connectors for the poles are a little flimsy.

The big writing on the box says, "Easy Assembly." Three hours, one screw driver injury which wouldn't stop bleeding all over my carpet later, the bed was assembled w/ my daughter asleep... in MY bed. She loves the bed for nap times, and we're still working on night times. The canopy is fragile and she decided to grab it while climbing up onto the bed, so it snapped on day three at one of the "T" pole attachment sites, a plastic insert to hold the skinny poles of the canopy together. The website is supposed to sell replacement parts but you can only look them up w/ the model and lot numbers which come on the box, and which are not written on the instruction manual anywhere. Still can't find it on the internet, and box was thrown out on day two. So now we have a brand new toddler bed with a floppy canopy and the product has been discontinued. I'm still not having any success finding a way to replace the plastic parts of the canopy. If I do find them, I will buy multiples to last me at least a year or two. This bed was difficult to assemble, for a 12-year army veteran/ former Apache / Longbow helicopter pilot, and fairly self-sufficient handy woman around the house. Even harder if your two kids are climbing all over you (husband is deployed and not here to help). Holes did not line up and took much strong-arming to get the screws to properly attach pieces. The bed itself is "cute," and sturdy enough. Also, my daughter thinks it's a novelty item, but likes it. My 10 month old son thinks it's really fun to practice climbing up and down on. So it has its place. Mattress does not come with bed, but that's no problem if you already have a crib mattress. Pretty and sturdy bed, fragile canopy, replacement parts are thus far not easy to find. I'd buy it again, but only if my husband were here to put it together. He's WAY more patient than me! :D

My daughter loved this bed! The canopy is what makes this bed to special. It is adorable, BUT, as others have stated... the quality is horrible! The canopy fell apart after a couple of weeks. We were so disapointed. I would not purchase this bed.
