Baby Einstein Music and Discovery Travel Mirror

Baby Einstein Music and Discovery Travel MirrorThis is an awesome product with lots of settings to choose from. It is probably one of the best purchases I have made for my little one besides the tiny love take along mobile.

I don't necessarily use it as it is intended, but it still does the job of entertaining my little guy and fulfills the tracking lights requirement I was looking for. We haven't had the opportunity to use it in the car as of yet since he is still in the hospital at seven months old now, but it still works. I use the strap to affix it to or over the hospital tv, this makes it even easier to set it up no matter which direction he is facing in his bed because of the swivel arm the tv is on. I love that we can set it for up to as long as 60 minutes of music. That way even if a nurse sets it she doesn't have to worry about it going off and needing to be reset every ten to fifteen minutes.

I noticed someone mentioned it is too loud. I thought that was just me being overly sensitive because of his situation. I quickly remedied that with a piece of cloth tape over the speaker.

All in all, it might not be for everyone. But I love that it has different settings and options. In my opinion that gives it more longevity and an opportunity to grow with him. Who knows it may become a staple just like the tiny love take along mobile and help us make the transition from the hospital to home.

I hope this helps someone else who might be in the same sort of situation we are in. I was discouraged at first when I couldnt' find a way to attach it to his crib and not be in the way of the doctors and nurses. I was so determined to use it that it finally occured to me. That has also helped me to look at all of the toys I browse through in a different light. I try to think of other uses or how they can be modified or adjusted to meet our needs.

I got this for my grandson to take in the car but it is so easy to use in so many places and I love that you can set the timefor it to play on 4 different settings!!!

Buy Baby Einstein Music and Discovery Travel Mirror Now

I originally had the Fisher Price lights mirror, but the music and lights only lasted around 10 minutes and the remote only worked sporadically. That's when I decided to purchase this one. We LOVE it!

The timer can be set for up to 60 minutes, which is perfect for the trips I use it for.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't designed to act as a mirror for the driver. It doesn't have any way to slant it so that you can see baby from the front. My husband was still able to rig it to work =) but it would be better if it had the verticle adjustment like other similiar mirrors.

This product plays the great Baby Einstein music that we all know. It does get really annoying in the car if you let it play past the 10 minute mark though.

The "button" on the bottom are deceiving though.. i thought they were interactive but they are just lights that flash back and forth for the baby to look at. The mirror has no buttons for the child.. just the on/off button on top for the parent (the sun).

The mirror attached easily to my back headrests in several positions easily and hasnt slipped off yet.

I set the mirror up in several locations and i still can't fully see my sons face in my rear view mirror without leaning forward toward my mirror. Even then i can just barely see his face in the corner of the Baby Einstein mirror. We have the Britax Marathon 70 and the side of the headrests block a great deal of vthe view when i turn around to see him, so this mirror does help with that.

Poor quality mirror and the music and lights are really loud and fast. I would recommend looking for another mirror.

Bobbie & Friends Sensory Bobbie

Bobbie & Friends Sensory BobbieMy 18 month old loves this. It's been a helpful tool for her to learn parts of the body -she'll squeeze his ear, and then, after Bobbie says "ear" will touch her own ear. The only thing that drives me crazy about the toy is that if you stop playing with him, he says "I'm bored!" after a few minutes, which I find to be pretty annoying!

Sassy Rock and Roll Ring Stacker Toy

Sassy Rock and Roll Ring Stacker ToyI was a little hesitant to buy this toy after reading some reviews that there were "sharp" edges on this. Or that it is made of "cheap" plastic. When it arrived, I checked it out right away and the edges are all smooth. As for it being made of cheap plastic.... I would rather have BPA free plastic than poisonous heavy duty plastic? For $10 I'm not sure how heavy duty we're expecting this toy to be. My 6 month old loves chewing on the rings, and rolling around on the floor with this. I am so glad I went ahead and got this.

We bought this for our daughter for Christmas and she loves it. Very colorful and the rings are different shapes and colors. She loves to shake the hell out of the ball on top which is filled with beads. Only problem was that the item is different than the one pictured.

Buy Sassy Rock and Roll Ring Stacker Toy Now

We purchased this stacker as opposed to the FP stacker because the prices were different at the time, and this one was cheaper. Oops. The FP stacker, in my experience, is easier for babies to use. My two-year-old still has difficulty getting one of the rings off the post with this one. It is our pink ring, though I would imagine that due to poor quality control people might have issues with other rings on their sets. I need to remove the ring for him when he is playing with the stacker with his baby brother, otherwise he gets very mad at his inability to do something he knows he SHOULD be able to do. I can't even remove the ring without using both hands. Aggravating, considering this is a product that is supposed to be for babies with next to no coordination. I say buy the FP one, which seems to have better quality control. Unless the info I discuss below regarding rod diameter is important for you.

Somre reviews comment on the cool balls in the top ring. Yes, this is the most popular ring in the set. However, I believe other brands have this feature as well, if this is a selling point for you.

Other reviewers have complained that the rod is the same diameter all the way down, unlike other stackers which have a graduated taper. The complain being that kids "don't learn how to put things in the proper order, defeating the purpose of a stacking toy." I can't say I agree with this assessment. My son does enjoy putting the rings in various orders. Why not? He will learn "correct" order eventually. I think this allows for creative play. For example, as described under the product description proceeded by Amazon, you can stack the rings in reverse order and the roll it across e floor. My baby has officially declared this to be "cool."

Overall I would say this is a two star product in quality. It is tempting to give a third star for effort, but I will stick with my toddler's assessment on this one. Maybe some other folks will have better luck with ring diameter being consistent and won't have a frustrated two year old to deal with.

I had the Fisher Price version for my older two kids and thought that Sassy is usually fine so ordered this for baby's first Christmas. Well it's going off to the charity bin. Thankfully a friend had sent baby the Fisher Price version for Christmas too so we have a decent ring-stack toy. Skip this and buy a decent one. It looks fine in the picture but is very light-weight.

I bought this stacker toy as a xmas gift for my 8 month old daughter, Violet. I know this item is inexpensive but when it arrived, I was surprised by the cheap quality of the rings. They are made of very hard, cheap plastic. I am hoping that my daughter loves this toy regardless. Decent product for a low pricejust don't expect great quality.

Infantino Dansy Antsy

Infantino Dansy AntsyThis entertains my 6 month old because it plays a melody and the top half moves from side to side. Unfortunately it lasts only about 15 seconds so you have to constantly press the feet for the music to turn on again. We don't use it much now because its annoying to constantly press it for the music to turn on, but perhaps later on down the road she'll learn to press the feet herself to turn it on. Also, it only plays one melody (with giggling) and there is no adjustment in volume. I give it 3 stars for now and will update if my child plays with it more in the near future.



This little dancing ant gets my little dancing boy moving too. He really likes this toy. It is a very simple little toy, push his foot and he moves back and forth and plays music for a short period of time, but it's perfect for a short attention span. It is cute and a good size for little hands (my son is 11 months old)...he grabs Antsy by the antenna and drags him around. I definitely recommend this little guy!

I bought this for my 8 month old grandson and he loves it. Infact he is learning to crawl and he will crawl just to get to this toy. He watches it, plays with it, and cuddles it. Plus the music is parent friendly. Not loud, or irritating. Its an excellent toy all around.

Great toy!

It has an excellent volume for keeping parental sanity.

It has lots of little handholds for little hands.

The little dance that is does is super cute.

Our baby loved it so much, that during tummy time she started scooting, then finally crawling towards it.

The only minor drawback is because of where the on/off switch is sometimes it gets bumped into off position when getting pulled across the carpet by a wee one.

Bright Starts Soothing Safari Mobile

Bright Starts Soothing Safari MobileI bought this mobile before reading the reviews (which so far are leaning negative) and I'm glad I did because I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

I saw other mobiles costing $40 and $50, but didn't want to pay that much. This one is inexpensive yet is quite nice and well built.

It's true that the music volume is too loud, even on the low setting. But I fixed that in less than a minute by taping a piece of cardboard (which I cut from the packaging) over the speaker hole. This part is hidden, so you can't even see the cardboard.

Somebody complained about the elephant (?) switch on the mirror. Yeah, it's a bit "squishy," but it does work, and honestly I doubt toddlers will even use it. All it does is toggle the music from song to song.

The one thing to be aware of is that this mobile can't be attached to a play yard. It will attach to virtually any crib though.

I wanted to use this mobile for a play yard, and so I built a decent stand for it out of a $2 heavy duty (Bankers Box brand) magazine file. Just cut a round hole in it, attached the mobile, and tied the tube coming from the top of the mirror to the opposite end of the box with string in order to give it support (keep it up straight). Then put a 5 lb weight in it. I set the box on a end table sitting next to the play yard. It works great!

Our baby loves this mobile. It plays music for a long time, and we have never had to change the batteries in the 8 months we have been using it (unlike our first baby's mobile, which needed new batteries monthly). We like the feature that allows us to remove the arm, and toys, but keep the base attached to the crib so the baby can fall asleep to the music even after she has outgrown the mobile (pulls the toys off, etc).

Buy Bright Starts Soothing Safari Mobile Now

I'm yet to figure out what it is, but from 2 months old till now at 6 months old my son is just totally fascinated by this very simple crib mobile. So much so that even when you don't turn it on he just lies there looking at it laughing and making those noises babies make when they are well entertained.

This was definitely a GREAT!!! buy.

Read Best Reviews of Bright Starts Soothing Safari Mobile Here

My baby likes to look at the objects but I think there are a few cons: it doesn't attach to my pack n play, you cannot turn it without music playing and the objects just turn but only really move when you hit them. It is cheap though.

Want Bright Starts Soothing Safari Mobile Discount?

When i first got this i was really excited about it. my 3 month old baby loves it and so is my 2 yr old girl. one time I left my 3 month old on the crib, she was admiring the mobile. then my 2 yr old got a chair and reach out for the mobile she must have got curious at the blue button before the head of the mobile and press it. the head of the mobile immediately got ejected from the curved part of the toy and fell on the crib. thank god my 3 month old baby was not directly under the mobile.

LeapFrog: Hug & Learn Baby Tad Plush

LeapFrog: Hug & Learn Baby Tad PlushI had a similar Baby Tad for our grandchildren, and it was a great favorite. Consequently, I decided to purchase this as a baby gift ... and, it was greatly received by the baby's parents. LeapFrog Learning Baby Tad

My niece loves this toy. She has spent hours playing with it and she's only 18 months old. Think it might be her favorite toy. It's great for the kid that loves to dance and listen to music.

Buy LeapFrog: Hug & Learn Baby Tad Plush Now

My son received tad for his first birthday and was drawn to it the moment it came out of the packaging. Each of the five options (hand, clap, foot, dance and belly) play three different things some are songs and some are speech. The night-mode feature plays music for 5 or 10 minutes. Every night, we play with Tad in day-mode and laugh and dance for a bit, then switch to night-mode and drift off to sleep.

The big, bright eyes are the best part Tad looks so surprised and excited. My son laughs like a fool when I hide Tad's face, then show it suddenly, like peekaboo.

Only one minor quibble I find it odd for a toy that encourages clapping to be unable to join its own hands together to clap itself. The arms are too short!

I have an 18-year-old daughter with severe disabilities. She loves this toy because she is able to activate the sounds easily. She carries toys for hours and often drops them, so this toy gets extra points for not having sharp edges and excessive weight, like similar plastic electronic toys for toddlers have. This makes it a very safe toy for her.

Haba Bath Book Mermaid

Haba Bath Book Mermaidit's not a book it's a long strip of pictures but it's still pretty cute. My toddler was pretty confused by it tho when she went to turn the pages and it didn't turn it unfolded. she's not that into it, but maybe when she gets older

I bought this bath toy for my daughter. It is really cute! Both my son and daughter love it. Sometimes we take the book out of the tub because they like it that much!

This is the second HABA bath book that we own (we also have the frog book). My 11 month old daughter loves opening the HABA books and she spends more time looking at the pictures in these books than her non-bath books (because she's a little calmer and less mobile in the bath tub). It is true that the HABA books don't have words, but at this age we just name the pictures and talk about what the mermaid or the frog are doing. Books without words are great for expanding your child's imagination (you can make up a different story every night)!

Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider

Fisher-Price Coco Sorbet Soothing Motions GliderMy wife and I were deciding between a Fisher Price two-way swing or this two-way glider as our "tool" to help put our newborn to sleep when she's less than cooperative. In the end, we decided on this "glider" because of the ability to pick it up and move it around. Here are my thoughts: (1) at first, I thought it was more like a solid infant car seat with a motor attached beneath. It is not. It's just a hammock draped over a tubular metal frame--quite flimsy. But it gets the job done. (2) The arch from which the toys dangle is NOT a handle that you can use to move it; it's just a non-weight-bearing tube from which the toys dangle. To move it, you grab two handles at the ends of the seat. (3) The motor is much quieter than what I expected after reading some of the reviews here. Maybe in a very quiet room, the motor noise may be noticeable. But the "noise" is never annoying or intrusive, and it doesn't disturb baby. (4) The faster of the two movement speeds is probably about right; any much faster and baby's head would get jolted back and forth. The slow setting is very slow. (5) The seat is rotatable 360 degrees, so the back-and-forth movement is not just limited to 2 positions. (6) The music tends to be on slightly louder side even on the softer setting, but it's not a big deal. (7) As with all such seats, baby's back is slightly arched, and I'm not sure it's healthy for baby to sleep long term day in and day out in this posture. But for calming baby to put her to sleep, it's fine.

My wife and I went back and forth between this and the portable swing ( fish theme). I am so glad we chose the glider. My son LOVES it. He has hated his crib from day one so the only thing that gets him to sleep through the night is the glider. I wish they made an adult sized one sometimes, it looks comfy and the gliding motion is pretty smooth. The motor might seem a bit loud but I think my son finds it soothing. It runs fairly constantly and we are only on our second set of batteries (first set was cheapies and they still lasted a decent amount of time).

This is one item I would buy again!

Buy Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider Now

Much like the other reviewers, our son was only able to sleep in his car seat or swing (due to reflux) and for no more than a two to three hour stretch at night. I saw this glider in an insert in Baby Magazine and hoped it was the answer to our prayers. It was! The first night we tried it out our son (eight weeks old) slept for six and a half hours!

Nearly two months later he is still sleeping in it for eight to nine hours a night! We have a "mini co-sleeper" attached to our bed and the glider fits in it perfectly. If he starts to stir or is startled by something, I just reach over and turn the glider on and he falls back to sleep!

Since we bought this glider, we have gone out of town twice and did not even consider leaving it at home. Yes, it is big and not the easiest thing to travel with but the sleep we get each night is well worth the trouble. He will be four months old tomorrow and I am dreading the day that he outgrows it. Hopefully by then he will have also outgrown his reflux.

The Soothing Motions Glider is wonderful and we credit it for the return of our sanity!

Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider Here

The good: The gliding mechanism in our unit has lasted six months. I never thought it would make it that far! The sound quality of the music is very good. This is a very good little bed for newborns, I must say.

The bad: The gliding motion is too slow even on the fast setting (icon of a hare versus a tortoise, or low). To actually rock a baby to sleep the gliding needs to be faster. There is no calming vibration option, a huge omission.

The ugly: I would say the correct price for this glider is $45 or less.

Rubies Costume Co. Deluxe Baby Bunting Peas in a Pod Costume

Deluxe Baby Bunting, Pea in the Pod Costume, 1 to 9 MonthsI bought this costume for my baby's first Halloween and I was a bit disappointed with it. It did not look exactly like the item that is depicted in the photograph the peas were much smaller and the colors were off. It wasn't TERRIBLE but it wasn't what I thought I would be getting. The deal breaker for me was when I went to put it on my son who is just under 4 months old and the costume was too short for him. This outfit is supposed to fit children up to 9 months of age and my son is not overly tall (he's 25"). I don't think I will be buying costumes from this store again...

Ordered this direct from Amazon, and was very happy with it. Looked as exactly as shown in the picture. You will see a couple reviews on here about the costume not looking exactly as in the photo. I think this is because they ordered it from one of the merchants on here besides Amazon. If you look at the reviews for some of those vendors, you will see complaints about the product not being completely as advertised, or sold out, or shipped late. Look under "more buying options" and order directly from Amazon, and you will have no such problems. Yeah, maybe it will cost one dollar more. But its worth it, Amazon is so reliable about sending the correct item and on-time. So why risk ruining your holiday just to save a dollar or two?

Costume is very cute, but does run a bit small. It fit our 6-week old baby with some room to spare, but I don't see any way that it would fit a baby that is 9-months old, or 6-months for that matter (depending on whether you read the product title, or the description they don't match one says up to 9 months, the other says 6 months). If I were to guess, I'd say it will fit from newborn up to 3 or 4 months (depends on how big your baby is for their age, of course). And the cap is pretty snug, even on our 6-week old, who is a bit on the petite size for her age, about 7-1/2 lbs.

The material is not the highest quality, but if you've ever purchased this type of costume garment before (such as an adult or kids costume) you know what to expect. Its a light felt or fleece like material, made to only withstand a couple uses. The costume held up fine to a hand washing, and dried flat, since we wanted to wash the costume before putting out baby in it. The peas attach with velcro, which is actually pretty handy, so you can remove the peas, and still strap your baby in a car seat without them getting it the way. And there is a opening in the back, so you can bring the babies legs out of the bunting, which is also very handy for strapping into a car seat or stroller. Overall, we were very satisfied with this costume.

Schylling Ambi Lock A Block

Schylling Ambi  Lock A BlockWe puchased this for our twin 18 month old Grandsons. Their speech therapist has one and they were very quick to work with it. Seems indestructable they fight like crazy over it and still looks like new!

This is a great toy! My 11 month old son can sort the 3 shapes but has not been able to do the lock yet. I like this for the younger baby because the more complex shape sorter with 5 or 6 shape holes confuses him and he gets frustrated and throws the pieces. This is a wonderful toy, durable and easy to clean!

Buy Schylling Ambi Lock A Block Now

Overall a nice toy. My son loves opening and closing things and loves locks. So it made sense to get this for him. At first he was super frustrated because he could not open the door with the key. He finally got the hang of it. But still...the key is hard to operate. You would think you would stick it in deep somewhere and the key would stay put in the lock. Not the case with this toy. The lock is only a small indentation....they key sticks in there, but can easily fall out. I was looking for something more realistic where he could actually stick the key in all the way and open the lock all the way. But oh well...what can you expect with a kid's toy. My other gripe...and this has more to do with me than anything else.....is that once you lose the shapes, they are hard to find. Who knows where our shapes are....maybe under the sofa, maybe in the backyard. Meaning...designate a play time period with this toy...make sure you watch your kid and he or she doesn't run off with the shapes....or you may never see them again ! In the beginning we would play with him and this toy for about 10 mins and then we would put the shapes back in, lock the door and put the toy away. Boy would he cry ! But that is the only way to do it, otherwise you misplace the shapes and toy becomes pretty much useless from that point on.

Read Best Reviews of Schylling Ambi Lock A Block Here

I could never figure out why sorters would come with cylindrical shape pieces instead of 3D ones. This toy comes with cubes, spheres, and pyramids no cylinders. This makes much more sense to my baby. She doesn't try to put the "circle" shape into the square hole (if you look at a circle cylinder shape sideways, it sure looks like it should fit.) This toy is really well made with nice sturdy plastic pieces. We found ours at Goodwill, and it had all the pieces and the key was still attached. A Goodwill miracle! I would happily pay for a new toy. It's that nice and well-made. I'm on a wooden toy kick, but still really like this toy.

My baby can't open the lock with the key, yet. I leave the door open and help her empty it when she gets all the pieces in it.

Want Schylling Ambi Lock A Block Discount?

I have had one of these for many years and frequently give them as gifts. I have provided infant/toddler care in my home for 30 years, and for younger toddlers I think this is the best shape sorter I've ever seen. With most sorters, the square is rectangular on one side and the circle is a cylindermeaning the child can find the correct hole to put it in, but if they are not ALSO holding the shape in the correct position, it will not fit. Most younger tots will not see this and will simply try another hole, eventually becoming frustrated. With this toy, the circle is a sphere, the triangle a pyramid and the square a cube. Find the right spot and the shape will usually go right infar more rewarding! The key feature provides for additional challenge later onI just leave it unlocked until they are old enough for it.

Nursery Peter Rabbit, 11" Plush Stuffed Animal

Nursery Peter Rabbit, 11' Plush Stuffed AnimalMy new & only Great Grandchild was visiting for the Easter holidays. Whar better gift to give the 3 month old than the favorite story of my childhood ~ Peter Rabbit. I went to Amazon because they always have just what I'm looking for! I was not disappointed! A soft, stuffed Peter Rabbit in his little Blue Jacket, suitable for a baby to hold while his Mommy & Daddy read the story about Peter to him. Soft & cuddly, the perfect size & made very well. I know it will remain in his nursery for years to come.

The story of Peter Rabbit, was a favorite when I was a child, and I read the story to my children when they were young. Now that I have two grandsons, what better way to spread the joy, than a soft and cuddly Peter Rabbit? This was an Easter gift to both of the babies, and both really enjoyed taking their first steps with the bunny near by, and then walking around the house with him tagging along. This toy is soft and huggable, and unbelievably precious. If you get the idea that I'm going to buy one or more for myself, you aren't wrong. I wish I had had this when I was a toddler, or when my children were. It is a perfect toy for babies and toddlers. The colors are soft and, Peter is a cute, and wonderful friend for tiny people. Maybe even for their grandparents too!

Kiddieland Disney Baby Princess Activity 4-in-1 Ride-On

Kiddieland Disney Baby Princess Activity 4-in-1 Ride-OnI am changing my review, but they wouldn't let me edit the star rating. I would give this a 4.75 star. Very durable on all accounts. My 3 year old son also plays, sits, rides, jumps and hangs on it as well. There are bumpers in the back and front to prevent falling over. This is a great product. My little girl has loved it since she got it. Though for some reason she really likes to go backwards on it. I just wanted to write this review to help those out who think the buttons stop working. The tricky thing is that there is only one set of batteries for all the moving/sound making parts. For some reason they stop working at different times. I found that when they all stopped working and I replaced the batteries all the parts started working again. The first to go is the front where all the disney princesses dance and move to the music. I think the last to go is the piano just in front of the seat. Because they are stopping at different times, you are under the assumption that it is not the batteries. Since some parts still function completely normal and some don't at all it appears to be a malfunction of some sort. Try new batteries and see if it doesn't fix the problems. This is a wonderful toy with piano, dancing disney princesses, magic mirrors, music, horse riding noises, storage, and push and ride on toy.

My daughter got this for her 1st birthday. We had two other walkers already but this one is much sturdier and more fun. There's a stopper on the back to prevent it from tipping backwardsbigger than the one in the front shown in the picture. There's storage under the seat, a piano, a horn, and plenty of buttons that make noises. It also plays 2 different songs when you push the trees in front and spins the figurines around. The old Disney Princess walker is not as sturdy as this one. Even my 3yr old can ride it without worrying she may break it. Very pleased!

Purchased this for my granddaughter's 1 year birthday. She loves it! It has lots of sounds and although I am very sound sensitive I do not find it too loud as other reviewers did, perhaps it has been toned down. It has a keyboard and it did not take long for her to make the connection. She loves to honk the horn. She raises the seat and places toys inside. It took a few weeks for her to master getting on and off due to her size. I think this toy will be enjoyed for a very long time.

my daughter got this ride on for her 1st bday. she used it to assist with her walking by pushing the car around on our hardwood floors. now she sit and scoots herself around. the music still has her entertained and she dances to it on a daily basis. good for any little girl.

My one-year-old girl got this for her first birthday. Her and my two-and-a-half year old BOY fight over who can use it! Besides being able to push it and ride, there are lots of buttons and lights to play with on it -including a PIANO!

As with most ride-on toys, it is hard to find a big enough place to use them for riding. With only 4 pushes my two-year-old is at the other side of the house.

Munchkin Bubble Spout Guard, Blue

Munchkin Bubble Spout Guard, BlueWhile this product works somewhat, I have two problems with it.

1. My faucet may have been too small for this model. My 10-month old can yank it out of the faucet, and I cannot secure this model. I wish the manufacturer provided an ideal spec for size/type of faucet fits the best.

2. Legs and body of the elephant is somewhat soft, nose is hard plastic. My baby is tough and he does not cry, but it hurts watching him hitting his head against the hard plastic part....

On the other hand, my 9-year old loves the bubble spout feature.

It's a great addition to our toddler's tub since he likes to bang his head into everything these days. Glad we bought this.

I wish I had known the dimensions before buying this product. It does not fit and even when I tried to secure it more tightly, when the water was turned on it only lasted a minute, tops.

I loved the concept of the bubble bath dispenser, but seeing as it won't actually secure to my spout... useless.

All in all, very disappointed.

does the job and looks nice. extra spout for bubble bath was a nice bonus! kids love it. only issue is we have to pull it off to turn the shower on because we have to pull down a little piece on the tub spout to divert to the shower.

OMG I cant believe I actually bought this product. It doesn't do what it is suppose to do, as my son can pull it off the faucet. It doesn't fit my faucet, therefore it falls off too. The Velcro that comes attached to it do nothing to help keep it on. Ridiculously made product. My faucet is a standard size faucet, so I'm going to assume that it probably doesn't fit most other bathtub faucet.

Edushape Flower Shaped Soft Mirror Crib Toy

Edushape Flower Shaped Soft Mirror Crib ToyThis toy was great for my baby from 3 to 6 months. She loved looking at herself and the bugs in the mirror. One bug plays music and I used to squeeze it in order to calm her down. I thought my, now 9 month old, daughter was totally over this mirror, until I caught her talking to her reflection one morning for about ten minutes. I understand the other reviewer's complaints--the velcro attachment at the top doesn't allow for enough loop room, and it comes off too easily when pulled. I solved the problem by affixing it to a baby toy ring before attaching it to the top crib rail. This worked great. The funhouse quality of the mirror reflection doesn't bother me. If anything, I think it adds interest. Overall, a great toy and super-cute!

I have had a difficult time finding a crib mirror for my new daughter that I liked and decided to take a chance on this one, though I couldn't find any reviews. I very much like that the entire mirror is soft and the overall quality of the toy looks good. It is very cute in person, but because the mirror is very flexible, it can have the effect of a fun house mirror if you are not close enough. Also, there is no velcro/tie at the bottom of the mirror (to attach to the side rails), only at the top. Additionally, the top velcro attachment is not adjustable to the size of the top rail and I will need to make other arrangements--probably sewing the end of the flower around the rail, as even with extra velcro, the mirror would most likely come down with a fairly good tug. I still like the mirror, and would most likely order it again--though it isn't quite as I had hoped.
