Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Shop and Learn Walker

Around the time he started pulling himself up onto things, at about 10 months he started to pull himself up onto the cart. We keep the cart in his room, which is carpeted so it doesn't roll too fast. The first few times he tried to pull himself up on the cart, it fell over. But it is very light and didn't hurt him at all, just startled him a bit. After a few weeks he was able to pull himself up on the cart while keeping it steady. It taught him some awesome body coordination skills. He enjoyed pulling himself up on the cart and picking the toys out of it and throwing them on the floor.
Around 11 months he started being able to push the cart across the room while walking. He was not walking or standing independently at this point. The cart has been great for teaching in and out opposites as we tell him to put toys in the cart and then take them out again. It is his very favorite toy.
The change of modes is nice but my son tends to prefer the "It's learning time!" mode, and gets annoyed when we change it to one of the other modes. The volume control is great, we try to keep it on the lowest setting for our own sanity and our son hasn't figured out how to flip those switches yet.
This is a really great toy and I do recommend it but with a disclaimer to keep it on the carpet until your child is a confident walker because carpet helps to keep it stable and slow it down.I bought this for my daughter when she was 7 months old because she started pulling up on furniture and cruising around our home. Within the day that it arrived, she learned how to pull herself up and walk behind it. It only tipped on her once before she got the hang of it and now she loves "shopping" around our living room. I love this toy! She is nine months old now and still loves playing with it. It comes with 4 food toys that fit into shaped spots that teach about shapes and colors and 3 extra food toys to go into the cart. I love the three different settingsshopping, learning, and musicand my husband and I both agree that this is one of the best "noisy" toys we have. It isn't annoying because it's not as predictable as most baby toys; there is no set pattern to the noises and songs that play. I would recommend this toy for any child that is pulling up and cruising. And for any family that would like to enjoy seeing a look of terror in their cat's eyes as the baby chases them :)

We got this for my little girl when she was 13 months and could already walk. I thought she and my 4 year old would enjoy using this as a cart for their kitchen and have fun playing with it. It has had very little use. I think as a shopping cart it's wheels and design are bulky. They like the music and songs. And . . . at 16 months the only thing she wants to do is climb up and sit in it! Good thing is this thing IS very sturdy and will NOT TIP easily. I have read other reviews and moms testify this is the best walker they've used. I think if you want it as a walker you should get it. It is very sfe for them to pull-up on. but if you're looking for a shopping cart toy find something else! : ) hope this helps.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Shop and Learn Walker Here
This walker is the best one out there that we've found. Our son had previously owned two others, but after he actually started standing, we found they were useless-didn't roll on carpet, pace was ridiculously fast for a beginner, or they tipped over when he used it for standing support. This product is an excellent value and far more useful than the more expensive walkers we have owned. Highly recommended, excellent quality and value.
Only cons: doesn't turn easily and the shapes are easily misplaced/lost-but that can be said of any children's toy.

Although this toy is stury, somewhat educational and seems to be fun for my son I wish we would've gone for a different shopoing cart. He usually just pushes it around, not utilizing the many electronic features. It's rather bulky so it takes up a lot of room, and it's short so my tall 1 year old will outgrow it in no time. If I could do it all over again I would've bought the fun to imagine shopping cart and saved $20.Monday, August 4, 2014

LeapFrog Learning Friend™ Lily

Buy LeapFrog Learning Friend™ Lily Now
I think the point of this toy that everyone is missing is the parent. The parents are suppose to sit down with your child and count the items in the book and teach them how to count. All the items are different colors so you can teach them colors as well. We don't have Lily, we have Tad, but it is just like this. This is isn't a toy you can stick with your child and go drink your coffee. It is a child and parent interactive toy. Parents have to interact and teach. It is a teaching tool for Parents. Get involved!This Lily is awesome. My 9 month old daughters eyes lit up when she first saw her. She got so excited and laughed when Lily spoke to her. The buttons are easy to push, even for my daughter. I especially like this toy because it speaks Spanish also. My husband is Peurto Rican and toys like the Learning Friend Lily will hopefully help her to become bilingual.My 2 year-old daughter received this toy for her 2nd birthday. She was so excited about it and played with it for all of an hour. That was a month and a half ago and Lily hasn't been played with since. She really doesn't do much. She only sings two songs! Really, really boring toy.Wednesday, July 16, 2014
The Muppets Romper And Headpiece Fozzie Bear

The body is one piece, and seems fairly warm--although a light layer of clothing will probably be needed by Oct 31st. The head piece just fits his head, but I guess it is to be tight.What a find!!! Too cute of a costume. It's not as thick as I thought it would be. The tie isn't as cool as in the picture but it's still darling. My son is 22 months, and in 90% and the sz 2 worked great. Just don't dry it. The legs have velcro closures so you do need clothes underneath, which where we live is needed anyway. Oh, and the hat, the hat is to die for....way too cute!

I bought this for my friend's son for Christmas and he was thrilled with a puppy he could take everywhere with him and he sleeps with it too. He really became attached to his soft and cuddly beagle.Our grandson was very pleased with his puppy, next best thing to a real one. I got prompt service and would use them again.Beautiful dog. I gave this dog to my niece and it has become her constant companion. Other Yomiko plush toys I have bought for my own children have held up well to daily love. I am sure this guy will do the same.Wednesday, February 5, 2014

Lullaby and Goodnight by Pockets of Learning

I really never thought about this toy much until I was browsing amazon for toys and I saw that it cost THIRTY FIVE dollars!! There is no way that it is worth that much money. Buy your kid 6 or 7 board books instead.
Buy Lullaby and Goodnight by Pockets of Learning Now
I rec'd this as a baby shower gift, and am very suprised to find it's retail is $35! I do have an older version (no music) but, my son is now 18 mo and still loves "reading" his book before bed. So worth it none the less.Read Best Reviews of Lullaby and Goodnight by Pockets of Learning Here
I ordered this book for the up-coming birthday of a grandson. It really is cute and an excellent quality. It comes with a small stuffed bear that you can remove from the book. Each page of the book has a different night-time activity for the bear to do such as have a glass of milk, brush his teeth etc. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting because even though it is a quality toy I'm not sure that Liam will use it enough to make it worth the price I paid. The Pockets of Learning toys all seem to be very high quality if somewhat pricy.My twins each receive this book for christmas. They do go page by page at naptime and bedtime. The manufacturer does include a card on how to contact them for replacements on missing items, such as the pajamas, milk, soap. A book they are sure to play with for a long time.Saturday, January 25, 2014

Tub Time Bubble Maker - Baby Bath Collection

This toy is just OK. It does what it says, to an extent, and while the bubbles are flying, my son is thrilled. I don't see this being a keeper in the long run, though. Not worth the aggravation. We've had outdoors bubble blowers that work so well, blow so many more bubbles, and were about the same price. Since this will probably not work after a trip or two into the tub water, I am not counting on it. While it lasts, however, we will continue to use it. With our own bubbles. These don't go far and I am certainly not special ordering bath bubbles.

Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse

When I found the Soothe and Glow Seahorse I was so happy! Firstly, it's cute, much cuter than the Gloworm models. Secondly, the music and sounds are also much much better the music is quality and the volume can be adjusted. The sea sounds are a nice touch as well.
Unlike the Gloworm, the Soothe and Glow Seahorse actually does help baby wind down with it's gentle music and ocean sounds. I would recommend this toy any day.I purchased this seahorse around January 2008. I almost returned it because, although it's nice that the music plays for around 5 minutes (we timed 6 1/2 minutes), I didn't want to keep it if there wasn't a way to easily turn off the music without it playing all the way through. There is no mention anywhere on the box or in the manual that you can turn off the music other than by going inside the velcro and turning off the on/off switch (and who would want to do that and wake up the sleeping baby with the loud velcro?) Then, by accident, we found that if you press and hold the seahorse's chest for several seconds the music will gently fade and turn off. I called Fisher-Price and let them know so hopefully they'll add this information to the box and manual soon. It's a bit "head heavy" which makes it a little hard to handle. It's not machine washable like the original Gloworm, only "surface washable". Great product overall. It's so darn cute.

We first bought a gloworm. Piece of junk if you ask me. The Soothe & Glow Seahorse is FANTASTIC! It plays music for 5 minutes as well as soothing ocean sounds like waves & bubbles. My kids love it! It was purchased for my now 4 month old (we bought him the gloworm originally that hardly played a song despite following all the directions)but my 20 month old is constantly stealing it to soothe him to sleep as well. This makes putting my kids to bed a piece of cake I never have to struggle to get my 20 month old in bed he just jumps right in as long as I have glowie the seahorse!Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse Here
I fully credit this seahorse with getting my baby to soothe herself to sleep. I began turning it on each night during her bedtime feeding (she would always fall asleep when nursing). After doing this for a couple of weeks, I was able to put my baby in her crib while she was still awake -as long as the seahorse was with her! There are a few reasons why this is such a great item for sleep association:1. The light provides a gentle glow instead of a harsh glare.
2. There are two volume levels to choose from.
3. The music is VERY soothing.
4. After it plays for about six minutes, the light and the music SLOWLY fades away so there is no sudden silence to jar your baby.
My only complaint is that it doesn't play for a longer period of time. If it would play for 20 minutes or so, I think this product would be absolutely perfect. Nonetheless, I still believe this is a must-have item.

I bought the blue seahorse when my daughter was about 5 months old. It was her nap and sleeping toy/stuffed animal that only lives in her crib,so she learned to know this toy with sleep only. This also makes it great for trips. Once she see's it she feels more comfortable. She has grown very attached to this toy.The seahorse has volume control which is great bc babies cuddle up to it and the music can be soft and not hurt their ears. As my daughter grew,she learned how to turn it on and off,great for cause/effect. I also taught my daughter about the seahorses eyes,nose,tail, color etc. Every morning she hands it to me,gives it a kiss and shows me that she can turn it on,so cute. She is now 17 months old and still loves it!
I also bought another one in pink for her grandparents to leave over their house for sleepovers. Love it!! Almost better than the oldie glow worm! lol

Manhattan Toy Peek Activity Toy

We did have a problem with the first one we bought where the little green leaf sewn onto the blueberry detached (!!!), but after contacting Manhattan Toy, they were more than happy to replace it and said that they had never heard of that happening before. They had me send them the original monkey so their QC department could inspect it.
The toy has a pink strap on the back of the monkey's neck with velcro at the end, this makes it possible to hang on things (i.e. a toy bar, the handle to an infant carseat, a stroller canopy, etc. Very versatile!
When my now 4 month old son was very small, he loved to look up at the Monkey and he would smile at its face. He still is enthralled with the monkey's face and now also loves to play with all the different toys on the monkey. Definitely a great toy!Daughter doing lion/Narnia theme. This toy got great reviews and I agree. It's a great chew toy with all the squeaks and sensory touches that little ones love. Awesome purchase!

I love all the stuff on this monkey. he's colorful and has lots of different items you can play with from teething rings to a magnetic banana. I like that it can be hung from anywhere with the Velcro strip above his head. My nephew things I'm great because of this toy :)I bought this as a gift for a couple of friends in the past and they just gushed about how much their baby's love this toy. So, I bought one for my baby girl. I'm not sure who likes this monkey more, me or my 2 month old. Monkey usually rides in her carseat with her. She especially loves to look into his face and talk to him. She also loves grabbing all the little rings and attachments to hold or to eat. She has fallen asleep more than once while petting his soft little head or leg. Lastly all the textures are fantastic. She especially loves his crinkly ear. Right now she isn't impressed with very many toys, but she loves this monkey! Quality product at a great price!I got this for my son... The colors are a tad less masculine than pictured, they arent as bright as pictured but the monkey is still cute. He has tons for little hands to do. A mirror, squeaker, paper crinkle, a rattle. Plus he has a loop to hang him from a crib or carseat handle. Very well made, very cute, and very unique.. we like him. This little guy'd make a sweet gift for a girl or boy.Tuesday, November 5, 2013
Nuby Splish Splash Stacking Cups 5-Pack

The colors are great and we love the shapes on topMy daughter loves these! I know they are just cups, but she gets really excited by them. There are shapes stamped on the inside of each cup with a various number of holes for water to stream-out, two holes, three holes, etc. We got these when she was eight months along with some floating sea creature toys wet fun for all.

Bought as a baby's 1st birthday present, baby and mommy loved playing with these in and out of the TubMy son loved the cups from playing with them in the bathtub pouring water in and out of them I've also noticed shapes on the bottom so it can turn into a learning game along with the different colors so over all Nuby did a good job.
