Lamaze Celeste Play & Grow

Lamaze Celeste Play & GrowI bought this toy for my newborn, and she has really warmed up to it (especially the sunshine side). I think it will also serve as a nice lesson on daytime and nightime when she's older, as it has a sun on one side and a moon on the other. The toy seems very durable, with nice bright colors and strong construction. If I could change one thing, it would be the hanging hook, which won't open to put it around large bars. You have to put it around a string or a thin bar.

Aside from that, I plan on buying more of these Lamaze products for my curious little daughter.

There are so many ways for baby to engage self with this one little toy, it's amazing! The little blue square with the parrot on it is a rattle baby can bat or jostle for several minutes of fun. Bee is a sweet little squeak toy. Star is a textured teether. And the textured rings are a nice touch as well. All of these in addition to the different colors and textures of the cute, cute sun. And then there is the adorable moon on the reverse side. Of course, the faces on the sun and moon are fun for baby, too. It's easy to see how the use of this toy will grow with baby so it will be useful for several months or longer. A very impressive little toy. It should be on every new mom's must have list.

I didn't even know there was a moon on the other side of this little guy! I love it, it's cuddly, and it has multiple danglies for lots of fun. I will eventually collect all of the Lamaze toys.

Our 5 month old twins have had several Lamaze toys like this one. They absolutely love them. We first got this one at 4 months. They were completely taken by the sunny face and wealth of things to grab onto. Now at 5 months, they've started specifically zeroeing in on what they want to grab on this toy as it hangs over them on their playmat. They love to chew on the knotted sun rays. I highly recommend the Lamaze toys in general.

My baby is only 6 weeks old so she has not had a chanse to really enjoy it, but the colors have cought her eye. It is actually bigger than anticipated. Not sure how to clean the body part of itI am a germ-a-phobe so will have to figure that part out.

Fisher-Price Little Mommy Play to Night

Fisher-Price Little Mommy Play to NightI gave this doll to my daughter for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. The clothes and doll itself are very nice and of good quality material and are easy to clean, even after my daughter tried to share her breakfast with her doll! My daughter is definitely learning how to be a "little mommy" to her doll and I am quite proud of how well she takes care of it when she plays with it.

Potty Elmo

Potty ElmoAfter some initial trouble getting it out of "store mode" and into "normal play mode" (we had to reinsert the plastic tab and pull it out again a couple of times), we have really had GREAT success with this toy! I have 27 month old twin girls. The first one trained herself at 23 months, and we have been working with the other one on and off since then. She is a HUGE Elmo fan, so when I saw this toy, I HAD to get it! We have had it a few days now, and I am happy to say that teaching Elmo to use the potty has taught my daughter to use the potty! I used this toy, along with a potty training book, and new Elmo Panties as a reward, and it really worked!

The only thing that is a bit tricky for my daughter is when Elmo asks for a drink, you have to trigger a button type thing in his mouth with the cup, and a lot of the time she missed it and I had to help her. But, that was minor. He is SO CUTE and so much fun!

My daughter is an Elmo fanatic and when we experienced resistance with potty training we thought "Potty Elmo" would do the trick. Unfortunately this doll was of little to no help in getting our daughter more interested in the potty, but I can certainly see why it would work with some children. This is how Elmo educates your child on using the potty: first he asks your child to give him a drink (you hear little gulping sounds as Elmo "drinks" from his cup), then he asks to be put on the potty. If your child waits, he asks a little more frantically ("Oh, oh, oh...Elmo has to go to the potty") If your child gets Elmo on the potty on time, he sings a cute little song about how he is learning to use the potty. If he doesn't make it in time, a little sound effect ensues and Elmo may declare "Whoops...oh well, accidents happen. Sorry". What's nice is Elmo doesn't always do the same thing. Sometimes, for example, he'll sit on the potty but he won't need to go. It makes it a little more realistic on what a child can expect during potty training. My daughter really enjoyed playing with Elmo and I do think it helped her understand the idea of potty training better, but she still remained obstinate about using the toilet. I do think every child is different, however, and if yours is showing a little interest in the potty, then Elmo just might do the trick in helping him or her along. And even if it doesn't work, you still get a cute doll out of it. My daughter is 5 and has been potty trained for a long time, but she still enjoys playing with her "Potty Elmo" from time to time. So in the end, all was not lost.

Best of luck!

really helped my daughter want to learn how to go potty...with a 2 year old, anything elmo does they want to or will do...what a great way to emphasize potty training!

For some reason I thought you could actually fill Elmo's sippy cup with water and he would 'pee' it out. This Elmo prentends only. He will ask for a drink when you press his hand, make drinking sounds, ask for more juice, and then tell you he has to potty. When you sit him on the potty he hums until his business is finished and a toilet flushing sounds. His underwear can be pulled up and down but do not come off entirely. My almost 2 year old loves him but still wil not sit on her potty. She knows when she has to go and will pull her diaper down when she does and even wipe herself with a baby wipe but forget sitting on the potty or the toilet. I don't know what scares her but seeing Elmo on his potty doesn't seem to help. She does like him and she'll play with him often but I still need to find some way to get her to sit on the potty.

It took me a full year to potty train my daughter. She just would not go and sit on the potty. I tried a potty book, which had lots of rave reviews from other parents. My daughter loved when I read it to her, but nothing. A friend with 2 children recommended getting a potty doll. I found the Potty Elmo while doing a toy search on Amazon. I bought it since my daughter loves Elmo. I brought it home, and that night we practiced teaching Elmo to potty. Within one day my daughter was using the potty. No joke. It was worth the money.

Chuck Big Air Dare DVD And Vehicle

Chuck Big Air Dare DVD And VehicleMy son loves this movie! He's a big fan of Chuck and friends and has all of the truck toys. This movie was the perfect addition to his collection. It's cute and funny but teaches a great lesson about friendship and knowing that everyone has things that they're good at and that not everyone is the same but that we are all special. I would highly recommend it to any parent wanting to give their kids good entertainment and teach them a lesson too!

I bought this for my son and my daughter loves it as well. Chuck is a great show for kids!

Gund Baby Nighty Night Musical Toy

Gund Baby Nighty Night Musical Toy, BlueWe have now bought two of these little bears, to have one as a back-up. My little girl can't sleep without it. She has accidently hit herself in the face once with the wind up part, but other than that it has been great. It's small enough for her to carry around everywhere without dragging it on the ground, and the music part has lulled her to sleep on many occasions when we did not have a mobile or CD player, like in hotel rooms. She loves it, but it is hard to wash, so that's why we have two. You have to hand wash it and wait for it to air dry, and that does not sit well with our 1 year old little princess. :-)

Item was even better than it was described. Very happy with the purchased as well as the how fast the items was sent.

My husband bought this for our new daughter for christmas while he's deployed its super soft and the music is so nice, our 4 month old loves it she's always holding it, however just yesterday 1 month after getting it it broke, When you wind it up it comes unwinding super fast to where it will hurt someone and dosnt play the music and the head goes all crazy so now its just a bear and have to be careful if she ever does wind it or her big sister. It really sucks cuz she really really loved it it was a great bear to begin with.

Radio Flyer Town and Country Wagon

Radio Flyer Town and Country WagonI shopped extensively and Amazon had the best price. The wagon had to be assembled which was easy to do. The husband didn't swear and actually commented on the quality of the hardwoods and flush mounted screws. I thought I would use additional water sealant but the wagon is nicely finished. Oh, one other thing a standard baby bassinet mattress fits beautifully for some padding. The handle is longer than a generation ago, my 6'1" husband is comfortable pulling the wagon.

I had one of these as a kid let me tell you it took alot of ruffness and it was the strongest wagon I have ever had. Now that I have kids they have one and its so cool how the sides come off so when even the kids get bigger you can have just the three sides on and have a bench. AS far as the paint coming off sure with wear but it is non-toxic. Plus any item paint wears off but you are not going to find a more durable sturdy wagon anywhere but Radio Flyer I am a loyal customer and will always be. We love this wagon!

Buy Radio Flyer Town and Country Wagon Now

We have had this wagon for almost four years now. After heavy use, some abuse, and getting it in and out of the trunk it is still in excellent condition.

If you have small children at home or just visiting this is a great item to have. We have taken countless walks with our wagon. It is especially helpful when we go to the zoo or to a festival where the little ones will get tired from all the walking. It will easily seat three toddler to preschool size children. A sleeping baby can happily snooze in comfort.

There are several accessories you can purchase (umbrella, pads, etc) that can help make it even more useful.

My children like to pull it around the driveway. When it is empty it is light enough to do this. Dolls and bears enjoy riding in it too!

The wagon is difficult turn over if you make a sharp turn because of a wide turning radius. The quality is outstanding. We keep it in the garage when it is not in play. As with any wood item it will not handle being left outside too much which is to be expected.

To fit it into our car trunk (Dodge Stratus) we have to take off the sides and fold the handle under the wagon bed. It fits in our van behind the rear seat in the same manner.

You can't go wrong when buying this wagon.

I am extremely happy with the Radio Flyer Town and Country wagon which I purchased for my newest grandaughter. It represents a tradition of Radio Flyer wagons in our family for over 60 years. I find that the current product appears at least as durable as the one in my childhood, which withstood much abuse, overloading and many high and low speed crashes. This new model has many improvements, the most important of which is the limit on the amount the handle can turn, thus preventing the wagon from turning over.

My son received the town & country wagon for Christmas when he was 2 years old, he is now 30 years old and has a son of his own, who will be riding in the same wagon he rode in. He took care of it and it is in the same condition as when he got it. It is a very good wagon and lasts forever if you don't abuse it.

Kids have ridden in it, carried dolls, toys, etc in it and it is still here. We even use it under the Christmas tree each year with toys in it. My grandson and two granddaughters are enjoying it now as much as he did 30 years ago. Great buy for the money.

The Original Toy Company Pop Up Toy

The Original Toy Company Pop Up ToyThe idea of this toy is great. The construction of this toy is awful. From the minute my daughter started playing with it the springs would stick, therefore the pegs would not pop up. Every single time she played with it I would have to get out the screw driver, unscrew the bottom of the toy and re-adjust the springs....and do it all over again, and again and again. (you get the idea).

Don't waste your time with this one...just plain no good.

This was given as a gift to my sone for his first birthday and now at 2.5 he is still fascinated by it. It's a simple mechanism of springs and pegs but he's loved learning how to make the pegs "pop" and never tires of watching them fly. It's been a simple and valuable toy to teach counting and colors.

Corolle Babicorolle Pillow Soft 11" Babipouce Doll (Asian)

Corolle Babicorolle Pillow Soft 11' Babipouce DollBabipouce Asian arrived today and my daughter was here with her 3 month old baby girl, Jasmine. Her first comment was that the doll was beautiful and her eyes looked just like Jasmine's. We are thrilled to find an adorable doll that will be Jasmine's first baby doll.

I bought this doll as a first birthday present for a lovely little girl of my acquaintance who happens to be Chinese. The little girl was just beginning to play "Mommy" with her dolls, and I thought it would be a good idea to give her a doll that resembled her, instead of all the white baby clones available at the giant toy store.

Three years later, the doll is still a favorite and is still in good shape. She's had a ride or two through the washing machine, and is reasonably clean. Her head is still on (a problem with my daughter's baby doll), and the cloth body isn't showing significant wear, despite a lot of loving from her mistress. The doll goes everywhere and does everything with her, and is loved very much without falling to pieces.

Because of her resemblance to her child, her "playability" and her durability, I give this doll the highest of recommendations.

My daughter loves this doll! It is her favorite lovey, she sleeps with it and enjoys taking care of it. It is perfect sized for an infant to toddler, very soft and cuddly. We've been very impressed with how well it washes. We put it in the washing machine and dryer with her clothes, and the baby doll comes out looking new. We gave this to her for Christmas when she was 6 months old, now at 19 months-she still loves it as much as ever.

I bought this doll for my daughter's first Easter basket when she was 4 months old. She really started playing with it when she was closer to 2, but I love this doll. It's nice to have a doll that actually looks like her, even though she's only a 1/4 Asian, the almond shaped brown eyes and hair color are identical. It's so easy to stick in the washing machine and I've even dried it on low in a delicates bag. And the vanilla scent it so pleasant. Highly recommend this doll.

Carousel Wooden Push Toy

Carousel Wooden Push ToyMy sons learned to walk using this toy. It's really wonderful because they are forced to put all their weight on their feet in order to push it, helping them balance properly. When they push it, the beads whirl around in a circle. It's mesmerizing. All of my boys thoroughly enjoyed pushing this toy around, calling it the "helicopter vacuum". It's incredibly sturdy, having now served three toddlers. Best toy purchase ever.

Our then 13 month old son saw this in the toy store he refused to leave without it. He and this toy were inseperable for weeks and at eighteen months he still plays with it daily. Older children will fight to play with it. I was surprised how popular this toy was. In the beginning he was mostly dragging it upside down or on its side and he still loved it for some reason. Now he can make the top spin and it makes him really happy.

This is a really neat wooden toy. It looks like something Santa's elves themselves made! I absolutely adore the look of it... The kids really enjoy it. Somebody is always going back to it and pushing it around the house. We've had it for almost a year and it is still in one piece, which is amazing in my house. We have a four year old boy, a two year old boy, and a one year old girl. They all love it! Grown-ups love it, too. However, I just saw the price they are asking right now... $55! No way it is worth that. NO WAY!

Hape Dancing Butterflies Push and Pull

Hape Dancing Butterflies Push and PullPlease be aware that I only really got to see this product after it was opened by the little girl I bought it for and can't speak to it's long term durability. I love Hape toys and really love the bright colors and simple design of this push and pull. I was just a little worried that the stick, which comes in two pieces and screws together might not be sturdy enough to last a long time. However, I used to work in a toy store where similar Hape toys were sold and they seem to stand up pretty well to the frequent use they got from our little customers.

Got this for my 15-month old toddler. She'll push and pull it along, but it doesn't roll very well on hardwood floors. Not sure if it's the angle she's using, or if it's the wheels themselves -sometimes they seem to just slide instead of roll. Works better outdoors on asphalt or sidewalk. She likes the "clack clack" sound of the wood butterflies, and giggles when the toy is moving. She's dropped it a couple of times, and nary a scratch on our floors OR the toy. Very durable. I just wished the wheels rolled better.

Como Child Gift Pull String Red Light Tortoise Toy Fuchsia Orange

Como Child Gift Pull String Red Light Tortoise Toy Fuchsia OrangeI bought this toy for my daughter, i was so excited since she LOVES animals & things that light up. Thought this was perfect, plus the price wasn't bad (or so i thought). Once i received it i was shocked at how small it was, then the pull string kept getting stuck, it barely moved across our hardwood flooring, and the overall quality seemed a bit cheaper than dollar store toys. =/

If you're looking for a toy that you don't care if it gets destroyed within a day or 2 then this is perfect BUT not worth more than $1. I'd recommend just going to the dollar store for a "okay to destroy" toy.

It's very hard to find multiracial dolls for a baby, and so after hours of searching on the internet I decided on this one.

I don't know if I have a defective one or if they are all like that but since my son is at the age where everything goes into the mouth, this is pretty worrisome to me.

Gund Reindeer 20" Baby Coat

Gund Reindeer 20' Baby CoatI have purchased quite a few of the Gund "Holiday" jackets for my granddaughter. They are beautiful, cute and soft. Great for picture ops. The compliments are never ending. The little Reindeer in the pocket is a bonus!!

This coat is excellent! It's well made and very soft inside and out. It's surprisingly thick, furrier than a real reindeer. There's a little tail on the back.

One thing to note is that there is nothing that holds the coat shut except for a velcro tab on the collar--it's more like a cape. If your baby has a large head, that velcro tab might not even close. So, if you want to be able to keep the coat shut, you'll need to add a button or two.
