Water Friends Keyholder

I am very pleased with this toy. I bought it because "it's not the same old baby toy" it's colorful

and very unique. It keeps the baby's attention for a long time, each critter has some attention getting

quality. A good buy.

I purchased this toy to entertain my then 9-month-old on a plane flight. It is very well made and fairly packable. I also liked the loop for attaching it to things. However, my son wasn't particularly interested in it. I thought the textures and colors would keep his attention for longer. One thing not mentioned in the description is that you can pull the frog's tongue out and it vibrates while being "sucked" back in. It takes a pretty firm grip to pull it out though, so a baby or toddler can't really do it. Otherwise, it is pretty well thought out toy.

I love Liliputien toys. We probably have five different ones so far. This one, I love, but the baby doesn't like it as much. She is now 11 months and plays with it more often. We've had it for six months now and she didn't like it until now. Strangle the toy seems a little too advanced for a baby. I love that you can pull out the frog's tongue and it vibrates. But it's too hard for the baby to figure out. I wish there was more plastic or wooden things on it so the baby can use it as a teether. The baby would rate this: eh... I rate it: great! So clever and cute at the same time.

HABA Rattling toy Madame

Let me start by saying we LOVE HABA products, and own MANY MANY MANY of their toys. They are very well made and I consider them heirloom quality. Made of wood, and NOT made in China!!

This too is made very well--but--in my opinion, with a major design flaw. The two yellow balls that depict buns on the head are attached with elastic that I am afraid may be bitten off by a child and then become a choking hazzard.

I didn't take the risk, and returned this toy right away with much disappointment.

Keep your piece of mind and don't buy this!!

By the way, a great toy made by HABA that my daughter loves is the "Flower Trio Clutching Toy" It's pretty and doesn't seem to have any possible choking hazzards.

Plush Turtle Ball Pit Baby Toy Playcenter

My son got this as a gift from a family member at Christmas when he was 6 months old and we kept it until he was about a year and a half old. He never went to it by himself. I had to be the one to put him in it and TRY to make him play with it. He only liked it when I would roll the balls out and he would chase them. But we can play that "game" with any type of ball. We finally gave it away. It took up too much space for very very rarely being played with. On the plus side, it was soft, had different textured patches (although it never drew my son's attention), and was colorful. I liked that it zipped up to contain the balls, but one of the "patches" was actually a square hole and the balls would slip out anyway. I also think they could have put more balls and ones that were more durable. So overall, it looks cute, but if it's not played with then it's a dud.

I got this for my son for his 1 year birthday...the pit is so colorful and cute but within minutes he had every single ball punctured from his teeth. For a kids product the balls should be more durable so that they arent ruined right away. Very cheap product and do not recommend.

All in all, this toy will be something my infant daughter can play with for a long time. It is soft, colorful, has several fun and interesting add ons (crinkly patches, mirror, etc). My biggest complaint would be the balls themselves. One: they did not provide very many so it is very sparse (the product details did advise the number, etc so I was planning to get additional anyways; also, the number seemed a differentiator between this and a few others on the market). Two: the balls are flimsy. Other reviewers mention this and they are right, but not a huge issue to me. Three: the size of the balls they provide are too small. There are holes in the shell for kids to play with. The balls provided are small enough to fit through the holes so when filling it up, they kept falling out, etc. not fond of that. I purchased replacement balls which are a bit larger, so happier with that result.

Triangles

Scared of all the 'bad' toys out there we recently discovered Haba. We bought 4 different Haba toys for my 7 month old and she loves them all. These triangles make a wonderful wood clanky noise that sounds very soothing. No batteries, no plastics, safe for her to 'munch' on. These feel so nice in the palm of my hand, they are brightly colored yet the wood grain still shows thru. My daughter is thrilled with these, very excitedly shaking them and gumming them. I had no idea who Haba was and now that I do I'm never going back!

If you are not familiar with Haba, you might look at this toy and scratch your head as to why anyone would pay over ten dollars for something that is made out of 6 little sticks and two rubber bands. If you are familiar with Haba, you already know. These triangles were my sons favorite toy (among many options) from the moment he could grasp to about seven/eight months. What makes this toy wonderful is that it is so easy to grab and manipulate for little hands. It makes a pleasant and natural wood on wood clanking sound. It is made in Germany (as opposed to China). The colors are vibrant and do a great job of not coming off even after repeated abuse.

For very young kids, you will not find a better toy in any price range.

My 3-month-old was given this for Christmas and I wasn't sure what to make of it. Well, he LOVES it! And this is why: It is the only toy that he has that is easy to hold (the triangles keep his hands in the toy), and he can put it in his mouth to soothe and he shakes it around. It is the only toy that when he drops it and can't find it, he fusses.

Honestly, I ordered this triangle toy because I saw all of the positive reviews, but I thought we would like the other two toys I ordered better, because this just looks too simple to be fun.

No way.

This is absolutely my daughter's favorite toy. She is 4 months old, and she loves this because of the bright colors, because it is just the right size for her to grasp, and it works well for shoving into her teething little mouth.

It also makes a nice little wooden rattle sound.

I am considering ordering several of these to keep on hand as a standard baby shower gift. That's how much my daughter loves this toy.

I can't recommend this enough. It has already calmed my daughter for many fussy episodes when I use it to distract her. I am posting a picture so that you can get an idea of the actual size of this toy.

Want Triangles Discount?

My little 4 months old girl is hard to please. She gets quickly bored or very angry at toys (when she can't push them into her mouth). I wanted to give it a try and ordered several of the Haba wooden toys(even though they are recommended 6m+). All of them are of very good quality, however at this age she likes only two of them. 1.) this Triangle she loves, 2.) and the Kringelring she likes. The Triangle is simple but still complex,maneuverable enough to "work it", not just simply hold . It is nice and small, so can fit in small baby hands and mouth.

The other toys like the Flapsi, Trix, Moby clutching toy she will enjoy more probably in few weeks/months.

Update: Being pleased with Haba I now ordered the Magica toy from them. This is absolutely great! I would say that even better than the Triangle. So for younger baby I would recommend mainly the Triangle and Magica.

Chicco: Sing-with-Me Kitty Book

We got this for my sons 1st birthday and he immediately loved it and now he's 15 months and it's still one of his favorite toys. We're a bilingual (english/spanish) family so it's perfect in that aspect. The songs are a little annoying for adults but great for a child. He loves pressing all the different buttons and is thrilled to know that when he presses them he'll get songs out of it.

Under The Nile Corn Toy

I bought this for my baby and my friends kids after we all read Omnivore's Dilemma. It's adorable, soft and very durable. I threw it in the washer and because it's filled with so much cotton I had to put it thru 2 cycles in the dryer to dry it. It still looks new even after almost weekly washes and being chewed on by my baby for 5 months.

this is cute and really well made. my baby has a hard time getting his hands around it right now (4 months old) to really hold onto it. he's drooling like a fountain and this really soaks it up so there's no "puddle" on the blanket or his shirt!

Our little one has LOVED this since he was 2 months old, when we started tickling his nose and hands with the 'silks' on the 'head' of this ear of corn. At 4 months of age, he is grabbing it and puts it in his mouth... too cute! Great toy for in the car and stroller because it is easy to find and doesn't get hot in the sun.

Melissa & Doug Natalie - 12" Doll

My almost two-year old daughter has this doll and has recently really started enjoying it. She brushes Natalie's hair, puts her 'night-night', and helps 'change' her. We also got a feeding set and she likes giving Natalie a bottle. The doll is a good size for her to carry around, and overall it's been a successful purchase.

I bought this doll for my 5.5 year old. She loves being a "mommy" to her babies and playing with her mylittleponys' and barbies' hair, so I wanted a toy that would combine the two. I spend hours searching for the right doll--it was a challenge finding a doll with "just enough" hair that was still a "baby," with hair that would not become too matted/tangled, that was portable, whose eyes closed on laying down (she has blond "hair" eye lashes), and soft enough to hug.

My daughter is very happy with Natalie. Natalie looks cuter in person than online. She does have that baby powder/plastic-y smell but it wasn't as bad as I'd read in reviews and it is not as strong after a few days out of the box. My only complaint is that she is so small; it would be nice if she were closer to 16." If you part her hair you will see her "scalp" (which I knew prior to purchase) but my daughter doesn't care. We are both happy with this doll.

Buy Melissa & Doug Natalie - 12" Doll Now

I bought this doll for my daughter because she like to rub hair while sucking her thumb. Shes only 10 monthes old and the toy is aged 18 monthes plus. I thourghly checked it over before giving it too her and found no loose parts she may choke on. The plus is, its great for babies. The negative is, I bought the doll for her to rub the hair but the hair is maybe 3" or 4" long. Hard for her to grasp onto. When she is able to hold onto it she sleeps like a baby =). The smell just smells like a baby doll. Nothing bad just that fabric softner/plasticy smell baby dolls smell like. Over all I would buy this again for the price just wish the hair was a bit longer. It seems very durable and none of the hair has been pulled out which is another plus.

I was worried about the smell because some of the other reviewers noted the strong odor..not as bad as they said. SHe does have a sweet powder like smell to her but it is a bonus in my opinion. Very happy with the purchase!!!

WEDGimal Ducks, Shapes 4-Piece Set

These ducks will not hold water inside their bodies therefore there is no need to worry about mold growing. The only problem that I could possibly foresee is that these bath toy ducks have pointy hats on their heads. Although I haven't experienced any problems with them yet, I can foresee my kids flopping around in the tub and eventually sitting on a hard pointy hat, which might bruise soft body parts. Overall, nice sturdy bath toy and bath time is a great time to practice shapes.

I purchased these for their BPA-free status. The reality is that they are close to worthless for a young child, their intended audience, because of the large hard-edged things stuck onto their heads. A small child wants to put everything in his/her mouth. The big, awkward, uncomfortable hat things on the heads of these ducks makes that effectively impossible. They are not good for a small child and I can't imagine that an older child would have any interest in playing with rubber ducks. I recommend that you take your search for a BPAphthalate-free rubber duck elsewhere.

Fisher-Price Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo Train

We love zoo talkers products in general...my kids got the zoo itself and the safari truck for Christmas. My daughter also loves trains so this seemed like a logical choice and she loves it! And the white tiger and koala are awesome! :)

I bought this for my 8-month old granddaughter. I was looking for things to keep her entertained

while sitting on the floor. It's hard to keep her still. It worked. She loved it immediately.

She danced to the music, loved grabbing the animals/people/wheels. She turned it over to examine

and pulled it apart. She liked watching me wheel it around and turning the ferris wheel. I recommend this toy.

Buy Fisher-Price Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo Train Now

I've bought several set of Fisher Price Little People over the years as gifts, and never been disappointed. I thought this gift would be a home run since it was Little People, animals and a train, but in this instance it wasn't as big of a hit as I thought it would be.

I didn't realize when I bought it that it is really meant to be a companion piece to the larger Zoo Talkers set. The quality of the set is Fisher Price, so it's cute, kids love the animals, the sounds and the colors, it's fairly durable and can withstand a lot of use, but unfortunately not all of the pieces make the noises like I thought they would since they were all sold together as a set. A big disappointment since the little one that I bought it for doesn't have the larger Zoo Talker set. I think this is basically a way for the toy manufacturer to sell more of both sets. Since the Zoo Talkers set doesn't have these animals included in the train set, but not all of the animals in the train set will work and make the sounds unless you have the larger Zoo set. I don't like that. I think that every piece sold with the set should work with the set without having to purchase another set to get them to work. This may be a way for them to try and sell more of everything, but instead it has made me a bit wary of buying more from them without checking online reviews first.

If you are looking for just a train, this might be fine but a little overpriced for what it does. If you have the larger Zoo Talkers set, I think you will probably really love it, but if you don't you may want to reconsider a different Little People set (like maybe the Farm).

My husband bought one of these at ToysRUs for our grandson's second birthday. What the product info doesn't tell you is that the sounds you get don't go with the animals that come with the train. You just get generic zoo sounds, played along with a very loud and annoying instrumental tune. Luckily, I had time to look for something else, and could return the FP zoo train. I ordered the iPlay Funtime Tractor from amazon, and it's a great toy!!!! My grandson loves it, and it has some educational value, unlike this zoo train.

If you're shopping for a toddler, you might want to see this zoo train IN PERSON before you buy it, to avoid having to return it. I wish that Fisher Price would reissue its original circus train: no batteries, just a handsome locomotive with a horn to push, and several great train cars to hitch and unhitch. The animals that came with the original circus train were posable and sturdy, and didn't look like blobs of plastic, which is what the present FP zoo animals look like.

This is our 2nd Zoo Talkers Toy. We also have the larger Zoo playset. This makes a nice complementary item to the larger set although you do not need to have both. I have two young children and I find my less active, more imaginative child enjoys playing with Zoo Talkers. There is not a lot of fancy things to it. You have your animals, the train, the Ferris wheel. The animals "talk" when you place them in the Ferris wheel. Of course your children are going to want to place every small toy they own in the Ferris wheel and they all won't talk but still fun to spin things around. You can order more animals to go with this, for more of the "talking" fun if that's what your kids enjoy. Mine could care less about that part at their young age (2.5 and 1). They are more into make the train go places and spinning the Ferris wheel around.

Munchkin Teething Baby Blanket with Pacifier Attachment - Style May Vary

We received this blanket as a gift at the baby shower. Our 4 month old loves it!

It goes everywhere with her. She really likes to cuddle with it when she is getting sleepy, and also likes the crinkly corner. She likes to give the monkey kisses to.

I'm ordering a second one, just in case we happen to lose the first one, or anything detrimental were to happen to it.

Highly recommended.

My daughter has the tiger version of this teething blanket and LOVES it so getting the monkey for my son was a no-brainer. He loves chewing on the banana part, playing peek-a-boo with the blanket, and looking at the face. I like that it's a blanket that he can snuggle with too. It goes everywhere with us.

Bright Starts Having a Ball Pop and Roll Roadster

Initially I thought this car was a cheap alternative to the nice bobby cars I know from my home country. When I unpacked it, I was a little concerned about the color, since the red is not red but more of a fuchsia/raspberry color and I have a son. After talking to my husband and the "color issue", we kept it anyway. I didn't had a problem to put it together, like other people did and it was working just fine. My son enjoys shooting the balls or just pushing the buttons for the sound. Today I had to see, how my son's arm got stuck inside the insert for the ball. He was trying to get the ball out and twisted his arm and got stuck. I was terrified to see this and had a hard time to calm him down, to get him a little relaxed, to get his arm out. I won't recommend this toy, because of this reason. Sepnd a little more money, get something more childproof.

This toy was purchased for my 20-month-old baby girl by her grandparents. She enjoyed playing with it for the past few months, but today, while sitting on the roadster, my daughter tried to insert a small toy cup into the shoot instead of the plastic balls that came with the roadster. In the process, she got her hand stuck halfway down the ball shoot. Her hand was wedged so tight between the wall of the ball shoot and the toy cup that her fingers started turning purple! While she was screaming, I tried desperately to unscrew the yellow plastic hood off the car to help her hand from below the ball shoot, but my screwdriver only stripped the screws. As there was no way to pop the hood open, I was about to crack it open with a hammer when my daughter managed to wrench her hand free. She suffered a superficial gash all along one side of her hand, and her index finger is red and swollen to twice its normal thickness, but no bones seem to be broken. This all happened in a matter of a few seconds under direct adult supervision as the words "I don't think that's going to fit, honey" were coming out of my mouth. Until Bright Starts makes the ball shoot wider to prevent little hands from getting stuck or devises a hood that opens easily, this toy is not safe for curious toddlers.

I am a mother of a 1 year old. with kids this young, they may not understand the concept of how to get the balls out once they are put into the steering wheel and into the dash.

Want Bright Starts Having a Ball Pop and Roll Roadster Discount?

My 2 year old got attracted to this car because of the balls. We had several similar cars (without balls) at home, but he never showed interests in riding on them. So when I saw that this car has this ball function,i tried getting him one to get him to ride on it. It was successful, because he had to get on the car to get it moving forward for the ball to move in position so when the gear is pulled, the ball drops out of the hole. Only thing i don't like about it is that the steering wheel is fixated..could not turn wheels to go right or left. He could only move forward/backward and if he wants to go right, he must get up and lift the car to move it. Well i figured, this lets him exercise even more because he also had to get up to go pick up the balls back & put them in the hole! This made him really busy for a long time! lastly, you have to really push the steering wheel part very hard "in" while setting up otherwise the balls don't go through the hole.

When my son was a few hours old, we were given Flatopup as a gift, and he instantly bonded to the toy. It has never left his tiny little grip since day one, and after three months of constant use, it still looks and feels incredible. It is the perfect size for an infant, has an amazingly soft texture, and is just cute as can be. In fact, my son's first smile was because of Flatopup--we just stroked his cheek with it, and he was thrilled. Love, love, love it, and will recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for that one special toy that their baby will always remember.

Lamaze My First Purse Baby Toy

This was a gift for my granddaughter and she loved it. We enjoyed watching her play with it. Kid friendly and well made.

I know we are all terrified of our baby dying from her toy but the handle size is ridiculously small. It wouldn't be a strangulation hazard if the handles were big enough for them to get the purse up on their shoulder but not over their head. Baby heads are large. I also thought the accessories were dumb. I returned this purse and went and bought my baby a tween purse that she loves. I also bought her the Hello Phone and a set of keys to go in her purse all for not much more than this "toy" cost.

Fisher-Price Disney's Winnie the Pooh Eeyore's Pull Along Shape Sorter

This product is absolutely adorable! My three year old loves it as much as his baby brother who it was intended for! I am very happy with this product, especially for the price!

I was really excited to get this toy for my 1 year old. He loves to play with blocks and place them in and out of containers. I had gotten a basic shape sorter bucket for him, but he wasn't interested in leaving the lid on the bucket to use the sorter. I wanted to find a toy that wouldn't easily open so that he would be encouraged to use the different shapes. I will say that this aspect is a success. You have to pull Eeyore's tail off to open and pull the blocks out. It takes a good tug and my son has trouble doing it on his own. My disappointment with the product is that because of the design, my son doesn't see all of the shape options from one angle. He gets frustrated when a block doesn't fit in one of the three shapes that he sees. This didn't occur to me when I was shopping for this kind of toy. The pull along feature is cute. Eeyore's head bobs as the toy wheels along. My son doesn't seem interested in using this feature.

Bottom line: Good quality, durable. My child just doesn't like it.
