This is a cute rattle. My daughter is interested in it despite the previous review. Toys are toys. Sometimes kids are into them sometimes they're not. Either way this rattle is cute. I also like that it has the crinkle material to add to her sensory experience.I purchased these rattles for my daughter after reading a rave review about them. I was quite disappointed. My daughter had little if any interest in them. They are made of that type of fabric that all hair and lint sticks to so anytime I gave them to her I had to first use the lint brush on them. They were OK I suppose but there was just nothing special or interesting about them. They became one of those items that sits in the bottom of the pile, unused and untouched-but still hairy. I would pass on these.The Zolo Haha mirror toy has a really small mirror which produces images of significant distortion. May be good for another perspective if a baby has other mirror choices but this should not be a child's only mirror toy.

Apple Park Picnic Pal Organic 15" x 12" Blankie
I bought two of these adorable Bunny Blankies and both products look exactly as depicted in the picture and the packaging is perfect for gift-giving. I will definitely consider giving these as shower gifts in the future! The fabric is soft and the stitching is well done. My son immediately took to chewing on the ears and rubbing the little bunny feet very cute. However, I was a little disappointed in two things, hence the 4-star vs 5-star review.1) I expected the square fabric piece to be 15" x 12", not the overall measurement from top of bunny head to tips of bunny toes. So the blankie isn't as large as I hoped. Still, it is a good size for an infant/toddler to snuggle.
2) The product care instructions say to line-dry only. I have not tried machine-drying because I don't want to make this blankie smaller than it already is! The heads are heavy and filled with cotton so they take a long time to dry. I recommend buying two so your child can love on one while the other is drying (and in case you happen to lose one after the child becomes attached to it!).purchased this for my five month old two months ago, and now him and his 2 year old sister are constantly fighting over it. it is very soft and looks pre-loved straight out of the box. it's a little pricey for something made in China though.

I purchased this darling monkey for my 6 month old daughter. I liked the fact that it was organic and it was differentiated from the loveys that her sister adores. Unfortunately, at around 10 months, when left to her own devices in her crib she literally ate one of the monkey's eyeballs off. The result was a rather ghoulish-looking monkey and two parents on alert as we waited for a monkey eyeball to appear in her diaper for the next 48 hours (we found it). That was fun.I'd recommend the Angel Dear or Under the Nile (organic) loveys as an alternative. They are also both much silkier.

I bought this for my 14 year old daughter who is going overseas on a service project. I bought it because it is smaller and softer than the blanket she would like to take. I am very pleased with its material and quality; I was surprised however with it's size. Buyers ought to almost think of a 91/2 x 11 pan when they imagine the size of this little guy.Want Apple Park Picnic Pal Organic 15" x 12" Blankie Discount?
I got the gray bunny for my eight month old son. It's not as soft as I had hoped and has an odd texture not cottony as I had expected. It's also quite thick and doesn't seem as comfy to snuggle with as a thinner blankie would be.Thursday, July 3, 2014
Wonderworld Musical Tree
Bought this as a gift for my friend's 15-month-old little girl and it was a major hit! She and my 7-month-old were loving playing with the instruments right after the gift was opened. Great toy to hold baby's attention. If they are losing interest, just build up the musical tree tower, and BOOM!, they are mesmerized with it again! I will definitely be buying one for my little girl before long.NOTE: Not the best toy for 7-month-old. I definitely needed to supervise her playing with it. I was mostly worried about the cymbal instrument pinching her little fingers or tongue (every thing goes in her mouth!) because it is metal.We have a number of different musical instruments made for children. What we love about the Wonderworld Musical Tree is the instruments are small enough for little hands to hold and handle easily. We also appreciate the the instruments are made for little hands that shake from left to right instead of up and down (babies tend to wave things in front of them, rather than using the up and down motion that most adult instruments require). We like these musical instruments so much that we have given them as gifts, too!

My 5-month-old, 3-year-old, and 6-year-old all love this toy! Each piece makes noise ("music"), and as long as the 6-year-old doesn't get too carried away it's not too loud.Read Best Reviews of Wonderworld Musical Tree Here
Although smaller than I had realized we love this awesome wooden toy. My daughter and her friends can play these instruments when Daddy plays his guitar!Want Wonderworld Musical Tree Discount?
Fantastic toy--worth every penny. I never have it put together as the tree, but my daughter's two favorites are the green tambourine and the green and yellow clacker. She's had it since 9 months (not 13 months) and they are the perfect size for her little hands. She walks around the house shaking them!I just love this thing--a nice break from the plastic flashing loud toys. Highly recommended.

Spinning Cogs and Gears
Bought this for my 21 month old son for christmas. He loves it. The only thing I would change about this toy is that it has motion, lights and music, or lights and music; but its a gear toy. Why does it have a music only choice? It should have a motion, no music choice instead.It is a hit though and I would recomend it to others.

Haba Beetle Anton Clutching figure
my son just doesn't get it. we have had it since he was 3 months and he is now 11 months. I bought it because I thought he would like to chew on the antena. But he has maybe once.It is really well made, nice materials an had crinkley leaves and a bell. It has held up to numerous washings (he has spit up on it quite a few times) and still looks brand new. No fading or pilling. I would reccomend trying it out. It does look fun and anything haba is GREAT

Earlyears Pop N' Play Giraffe
This is a cute toy, and our kids like it. But it takes button photo batteries that don't last long and are EXPENSIVE! It'll cost you almost as much as the toy is worth to replace the batteries just once.I bought this for my niece for X-mas. She loves the toy, however, it was filthy. It needed to be washed before she could play with it. Something that shouldn't happen when something is bought new.I bought this for my son, not from TRU but from a shop on Main street. My son never really was interested it b/c it was so low in sound that it wouldn't keep his attention. I'm not sure if it was the product or the place i purchased it, but I do think it should have been at least a little louder!

Baby Sock Monkey (Color May Vary)
MY GRANDSON FIRST BDAY WILL HAVE A SOCK MONKEY THEME.......HE WILL BE PERFECT FOR THIS.IT IS OF GREAT QUALITY AND COLORS VERY BRIGHTI ordered this for my Grandson's 2nd birthday expecting that he would receive a brown sock monkey as shown. Being in another state I ordered and had shipped directly to him.About a month later my son told me that the sock monkey they received was "PINK"! How embarrasing!
Do not order this product unless you have no preference as to color.
Buy Baby Sock Monkey (Color May Vary) Now
Bought this as a gift for my brother. Was under the impression that this was a BROWN monkey, as the picture shows, and as other products were labeled with the specific color like "pink baby sock monkey".The monkey I received was pink. Not very pleased.Seems that I am not the only one who got the wrong color. Wanted brown, ordered brown, got purple. :( Otherwise, the product is quality and safe for young ones.I gave this toy an overall 2 star review b/c I ordered a brown sock monkey and received a purple sock monkey. I guess I should have been forewarned by the other reviews. But I was in a hurry for the holidays and needed something quickly, so did not return the item. Vendor should clearly state if they will not be able to honor the color choice.

Radio Flyer Girls' Fold 2 Go Trike
My daughter has had this trike for a year and loves it. It does tip easily when she turns and the pedal broke off recently. We were not able to find a replacement pedal, so she just tries to make due. It's ok for a cheaper trike, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are better options available.

Mobile Volabella
This mobile is even better than it appears online.The birds are so big and vibrant.
The angle it hangs on gives it the appearance of birds in flight.
The price was the best I found.This mobile made all the difference in our lives!!! We placed it over our baby's changing table and after many many fussy diaper changes have yet to hear her cry during a change since using this mobile! She's so mesmerized by the movement of these bright wooden birds she hardly notices I'm changing her, it's been amazing. Highly recommended!I love it. After seeing it on the babygadget blog, I had to have one for my daughter. It took my husband a while to hang it, but it is stunning. I love the simplicity there's nothing fussy or overwrought to it. And the vibrant colors go with any decor. Now the new baby loves to lie on her sister's bed and stare at it. Pricey but perfect.

This mobile is bigger than I expected. As a result, I haven't been able to use it right away. I thought it was a crib mobile. No. Then I tried hanging it from the ceiling, but it was too heavy for a little screw in hook. Now I'm waiting for my husband to devise a solution. It's still sitting on the floor in the closet six months after purchase ..........It is pretty, though. Next time I think I'll just buy a small, cheap, wind up musical one for the crib. The baby doesn't need any more than that anyways.

Lamaze Play & Grow Jacques the Peacock Take Along Toy
Jacques is one of Lamaze's best offerings! The peacock is light enough and the feather panels thin enough for little hands to grab, tug and pick up without easily dropping. The feather panels also provide several chewable surfaces for little ones who love to put everything in their mouth.The shape of this toy also makes it easy to tuck into a car seat. While a lot of toys seem to fall out of the car seat once baby starts playing with them, the flatness of the feather panels and the flat bottom of the peacock body seem to help this toy stay in the seat. Also, the feather panels are easy for baby to reach out for an edge, grab and pull back into reach.
For these reasons, we made our peacock a "car only" toy so that our little one, who was not fond of car travel at 4 months, would have something he liked in the car. This toy was an immediate favorite even before our little one really became interested in these types of toys.
The back of the peacock feathers have different black and white panels which makes the toy interesting even when the toys happens to be upside down. The cute face and large eyes appealed to our little guy and were worthy of cues and smiles a friend indeed. I could not be happier with this toy. Our favorite Lamaze character!I've never written a review for any baby toys before, but I'm going to make an exception for Jacques. We call him Pierre the Peacock, because alliteration is more fun than consonance, but I digress.
As far as our 5-month-old is concerned, Jacques is the greatest thing that has ever existed. Our son goes absolutely insane at the mere sight of Jacques. Even a month ago, when he was not such a grabby baby, he wanted to touch all parts of Jacques simultaneously. With great intensity, he wants to stare at Jacques and never look away; he wants to squeak and scream and laugh at Jacques as loud as he can. His love for Jacques is metaphysical.
In fact, if it was possible to be a little too excited by a toy, Jacques might potentially fit that bill. Sometimes our son is overwhelmed by his excitement for Jacques. Jacques is baby cocaine.
Our only complaint is that we wish Jacques was machine-washable. He fell on the garage floor and got very dirty, and now our son spends his days in a deep, Jacques-less, existential depression. C'est la vie...

Around 10 weeks, my baby finally started noticing the Lamaze toys we had around the house we had the Emily doll first and now that is her ultimate favorite toy. I just purchased Jacques for her, and she loves him too. The back of the toy is patterns of black and white fabric, and has the crinkly sound babies seem to love. Each of the "feathers" has a different interest point a squeaker, a soft bulb, a mirror, and satin touch ribbons. This is a really great deal, too Babies R Us sells the same toy for $12.99 as of today.Read Best Reviews of Lamaze Play & Grow Jacques the Peacock Take Along Toy Here
We saw this in Babies-R-Us and our little baby couldn't stop laughing when she saw it. I think it's the combination of the BIG EYES, the squeaker in one of the wings, the mirror in another wing, the krinkly sounds and the bright colors.The hook on top is useful for hanging from the carseat or from the swing - however, if you are just trying to make Jacque dance for your baby, the hook kind of gets in the way but that is a minor note.
Overall, I highly recommend Jacque - she has not tired of him yet and everytime she sees good ol' Jacque, her face lights up and she babbles at him.

We have both the Lamaze Jacques the Peacock and the Lamaze Freddie the Firefly. The baby instantly took to the firefly absolutely loving it from 3 months to 6 months. The peacock was much harder for him to hang on to and despite being similar in style was ignored. If I had a choice I would go for the firefly instead...

LeapFrog Learning Drum
I picked this little drum up for my grandson and he really loves it. He has a little plastic baseball bat that he bangs on it with and since he's at the age of noise and bangs he has a great time. He enjoys the music and also he likes to listen to the voice talk to him.. It's very durable, he likes to stand on it in the playpen to get a better view. I also like the idea that I can lower the sound and the lights are also intriguing. I'd recommend it highly as I feel he will probably even enjoy it when he gets a little older so he can learn to follow the pattern of beats.My son received this drum for Christmas when he was 7 months old. He loves to beat on it (and climb on it & sit on it & drop it...). He will push the star & dance to the music. I love that it teaches the abc's & 123's while he is playing. I love the automatic shut off featurehe is now 17 months, still plays with it & I have yet to have to change the batteriesunlike other toys that don't have this feature. This toy is very durable & lots of fun for him. I find myselfBuy LeapFrog Learning Drum Now
When my 6 month old daughter got this toy for Christmas from her uncle, we really didn't think it looked any different than the other 500 battery operated toys she got.Boy, were we wrong!Skylar looooves this toy.When she hits the drum(banging things seems to be the favorite amusement for most babies this age)each letter from A-Z or numbers 1-10,depending on the setting, show up in red lights and is yelled out by a child's voice, each time it is hit.This teaches her cause and effect,and also, the alphabet and numbers visually and vocally.This toy also has 2 more settings for instrumental sounds,so a child can experience playing their own drum.Cute childrens' voices provide songs and words of encouragement when your little one is drumming away.A really interactive,educational,and entertaining gem of a toy!My daughter is 10 months and loves this drum! I'm sure it will grow with her. It's easy to beat on and has so many functions! It's great and worth the buy.My in-laws got my son this toy for Christmas (he was 7 months old). I never saw it before, but knew leap frog from the pre-school toys. It is the perfect size and he just loves it. I like that it will grow with him, unlike so many toys out there. Right now I put it on the music setting and he likes hitting it and hearing the music. He's discovered that it even works by hitting the sides and bottom of the drum! And another nice feature is that it turns itself off after a minute or so if my son crawls away to play with something else.Tuesday, December 3, 2013
Dinosaur Costume
I bought this costume for my 3 1/2 yr old son. He's small for his age and usually wears sz 3 but because of other comments about the sizing, I purchased the 4-6 and it fits him nicely. The costume is made of a felt like material, the spikes don't stand upright (but he doesn't care) and the it closes with a couple velcro tabs. It looks adorable on and my little guy absolutely loves it!Perfect for the little guy or girl who wants to be a dinosaur. Body is comfortable, and does not keep your little one warm or cool (dress appropriately underneath). The hood/face does secure with Velcro under the chin, and could be a choking hazard if you do not act appropriately.This costume is sized as a small 4-6, but the one I actually received was much smaller. I bought it for my five year old son, who wears a 4/5, and it was very, very small. The packaging stated that it fit like a 2-4 not a 4-6. Unfortunately, I read this after we had opened it and my son would not part with it because he LOVES dinosaurs. Other than being the wrong size, it was an awesome costume.

Little Tikes Bumble Bee Buggy
This is the nicest little buggy! I had never seen this in any store but saw it on-line for about $10 more through a big-name toy store. I found it on Amazon and bought the buggy for my 1 year old niece's birthday. She really loved it and wanted to get in it right away. She doesn't understand how to scoot around in it yet, but I'm certain that will come soon. My 2 and 4 yr. old nephews both tried it out and they really enjoyed it too, so this is a good toy for any child in the 1-4 yr. age range. All of the kids were very attracted to the face, especially the antennas, which bobble around.Aside from how well the kids liked it, I was very pleased that it is extremely well made. In fact, given how nice it is, you would think you would have to pay a lot more money for it than I did (plus I got the bonus of free Amazon shipping!). There's plenty of leg clearance, even for the older kids. The wheels spin completely around, which is a really nice feature because the buggy doesn't get stuck as easily as other similar toys. The toy does need to be assembled but it is very easy to do and the instructions are very clear; I had it put together within a half hour. Really pleased with my purchase.I am not a fan of this product at all. I wish I had mailed it back. The steering wheel is not connected to anything. It's tough for toddlers to get in and out on their own because there is no door entrance like other riders. The wheels do their own thing. It is incredibly frusterating even for my preschooler because she can't make it go the direction she wants to go, even on the sidewalk. I don't recommend this product.
Buy Little Tikes Bumble Bee Buggy Now
PROS:-really cute & different from other "buggy" toys on the market
-seems really sturdy & durable have only had it 2 weeks
-my kids (5 toddlers in a home daycare) LOVE it sitting in it, pushing it, playing with the antennae
CONS:
-topples over pretty easily, usually when trying to get in or leaning over the side while sitting in it doesn't seem to deter them from wanting to play with it, but it's frustrating!
-kind of a pain to put together, but honestly, didn't take too long (20 min?)
-kind of difficult to manuever -only the 2 yr old has figured it out the 15, 17, & 20 month old can't get it to move! (well, not forward anyway!)
It was definitely worth the $ I paid for it, but not sure that I'd pay ...8 month old granddaughter went wild with this i push her around every nite cant wait for her feet to touch. she loves it if you oil the wheels with cooking oil they spin and you will have no problem with it i too had some problem but now it works good dont give up on toyI bought this product for a couple of kids that I was babysitting. They loved all the facial and body features of the bumblebee, as well as the fact that the wheels turn in 360 degrees. The children I gave it to were 18 month old twins, and they were able to maneuver it easily. Now, we just have to teach them how to SHARE!! haha

TY Pluffie Sweetly White Dog with Red Hearts
My grandson had the one with the black hearts. He was so excited to have the one with red ones as wellMy daughter received this as a gift when she was 2 months old for Valentines day, it is by far her favorite baby! "Red puppy" has gone everywhere with us, I have probably thrown him in the washer and dryer over 100 times and he is still going strong. He is not quite white anymore more of a light gray color and has no fluffiness inside his stomach anymore but he has never torn or ripped, no loose strings at all. She will be 3 in a couple of months and we recently lost red puppy at the store luckily my husband was able to go back to the store and someone had turned him in so we were able to get him back! But it scared us enough to order a back up! This puppy is so cute and a great baby for any little one!

North American Bear Sleepyhead Cozy
This adorable little pink bunny lovey was the very first thing I bought for my daughter...before she was born and before I even knew it was a girl. I fell in love with it when I saw it in a local baby boutique store and said to myself if it was a boy he would just have to have a pink bunny. I tucked it away and when my daughter was born I put it in her bassinet so it was always there when she slept. She moved on to a crib and the bunny came with. We always take it while traveling and she carries it around and rubs it gently on her face, she likes to play with the tag in her fingers as well as just running her fingers on it (it is so soft!!) when she is tired to comfort and soothe herself as she is falling asleep. I have checked on her at night after I put her to bed only to find her laying in her crib with her bunny draped over her head or face (not blocking her breathing in any way because it is so petite that I don't worry about that at all). I have also caught her sucking on the knot in the hat for soothing purposes. Needless to say even though I bought her first one of these at a boutique store I decided I needed to get a back up in the event that we ever lost the other one or it got ruined. The store didn't have them anymore so I went on a search for it and found it here. Now we have one safely tucked away for a rainy day. Oh another thing is that it is very washable. I have thrown hers in the wash a few times now and it is still just as soft and looks almost new still except the tag which has frayed and the writing on it has faded so it is unreadable but she likes it better that way anyways and the tag is super soft now too.Wonderful little lovey.My daughter is six months old and has consistently chosen the sleepy bear bunny to help her nod off as there are three different lovies in her bed. She puts the bunny across her chest and rubs her face with the ears. It is easy to wash and dry as I just put it in the dryer on low. I bought another for trips or if we lose the current bunny. I think it is hard to rate these items as all children choose there bedtime pal. However, it is small, not very thick, and has no choke hazards so I do not mind leaving it in the crib at night with the baby.

My 3 month old daughter has this pink sleepyhead bunny cozy. It is adorable and soft and she loves to hold, chew, and rub it on her face.

Great product!Want North American Bear Sleepyhead Cozy Discount?
***A TIP FOR NEW MOMMIES*** order 2 of the same one, have them monogrammed with your cell phone number, introduce them to your little one around 6mo, let them have one for about 2 weeks (keep the other in a safe place like top of the closet) then switch it out with the fresh one, this makes them both get "worn in" at the same rate. Your toddler may reject a completely fresh new lovie in the unfortunate even that one is lost (this comes from experience with my oldest of 3)Now for my review, this whole line of cozies is so cute! Super soft, just the right size for little ones. My 3yr old has the pink bunny and my 2yr old has the blue hippo. They have held up nicely in the washer and stay soft. Colors will brighten up a bit with a long soak in oxy clean once then have been loved for a while. We've gotten rid of the bunnies hat, though...

Sugarbooger Classic Lunch Sack
We got 2 of these for our twins b/c we loved the patterns, size, and price. However, within a few weeks of using them, they got gross brown mold between the liner and the outside. You can't clean it, so the bag gets permanently ruined. We tried hard to keep them clean and dry, but the mold quickly grew over all the seams and has spread to over half of the bags, so we have to throw them out. These bags would probably be fine if you only used dry goods in them, but any kind of moisture (like from an ice pack, leaky container, or condensation from a bottle) will ruin them, even if you try to keep them dry between uses.We are pretty disappointed and won't be buying anything from Sugarbooger anytime soon.I am very disappointed in this lunch bag. I bought it for my daughter and after only one month of school it has molded between the outside and the insulation inside. I will never purchase another product from sugarbooger again!!!

This is the most adorable, excellent little lunch sackexcept for the mold that has appeared between the lamination and fabric. Similar reviews indicate this is a common problem for this item. BUMMER! I will hate throwing it out. I will also hate having to buy a new one...and needless to say, it will be a different brand.Read Best Reviews of Sugarbooger Classic Lunch Sack Here
As other reviews have stated, this bag molds relatively quickly, and there is nothing you can do about it. The only moisture in the bag is as others have said: an icepack a couple times, storing the items in the refrigerator, or putting a slighly wet container from the dish drainer in the bag. I air it out, but the issue has gotten worse.It is really too bad as the bag is a great size, and has no zipper to break, just a hook-and-loop strip. I have written to the company, and I will update my review if I get a response, but in the meantime, I cannot recommend this bag.
ETA: The company wrote back to me, but seemed to think that the mold was a completely normal issue, even under the conditions mentioned. They sent me a replacement bag (which was nice), but weren't very gracious about it, especially considering that I did not ask for the replacement bag, only questioned if the mold was something that they were aware of and were working on.
As the company themselves seem to think it is normal, and not something they are trying to fix, I would have to say I cannot recommend this bag. It is really too bad as the size and ease of cleaning and opening for little hands is great.The patterns are cute, the design is perfect, but within a few months it was turning black within the linings. I didn't wash it, wiped it yes, and for a kids lunch box that is essential. However, I could see mould growing and it began to smell. Yuck, so disappointing. I was going to get another one for my other child, but so glad I didn't, in the garbage it goes....now to find another lunch box....from a different company...
