Taggies Oh So Softies Plush Giraffe, Yellow

Taggies Oh So Softies Plush Giraffe, YellowOrdered this for my nine-month old son for Christmas because he loves to play with the tags on things. You should see his face light up when I give it to him to play with! It is adorable, very soft, and he loves checking out the tages.

Just as cute as it looks. It's a wee bit smaller than I expected but of course a fine size for baby. VERY soft and cuddly, and we LOVE the taggies.

Fish In The Tub Windup

Fish In The Tub WindupThis bath toy is much bigger than I expected it to be (about the size of a baseball.) Not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind. The wind-up tail that paddles it through the water is a little noisy too, but not necessarily a bad thing either! It's cute and serves its purpose!

We bought this to replace a windup bath seal that barely works. Well this has a tail that flaps and that's about it. At least with the seal it would "swim". This just, uh, flaps, doesn't move in the water. Plus you have to keep winding it over and over and over...not worth the dough...

This bath toy is adorable. It is one of only two wind up bath toys that our two year old grandson is not afraid of.

It was cute when it first came out of packaging. Not as durable as I expected. Action doesn't last very long.

Madame Alexander My First Baby - Powder Blue, 12 Inch

Madame Alexander My First Baby - Powder Blue, 12 InchI love the look of this doll and really wanted it to work out. The doll arrived with a small hole in the plush fabric that unravelled very easily. I also have to agree with the other review that the plush fibers come out very easily. I expected better quality with it being a Madame Alexander Doll.

My one year old got this doll in blue for christmas. It has a very soft body and a hard head and hands. The hood slides back on the bald head. Super cute. She has played with it and slept with it for 2 months. I have even had to throw it in the wash with some other toys and bedding. It came out perfect. Nothing has come off or come lose. The perfect first doll.

Very cute doll; has the "Madame Alexander face." A little smaller than it looked in the picture, but a good size for my 1 y/o niece. Good value.

Well, the munchkin might have given this doll one star as her clothes do not come off (that would be the doll's clothes, not the munchkin's). HOWEVER, her parents give it a five because her clothes stay on. She is soft and hug-gable and a great doll for an 18 month old.

Bell Infant Mini Helmet

Bell Infant Mini HelmetI never imagined how difficult it would be to find a bike helmet for my daughter, who just turned 1. Every helmet I find from the reputable brands (Bell, Gyro, Schwinn) are always advertised for ages 3 and up, and although my darling girl did inherit her father's larger than average head, the "toddler size" helmet just seemed too large and heavy for her. I came upon this helmet at a local sporting goods store yesterday, and it fits my girl perfectly!!! The only thing I had to do was adjust the chin strap to be a little tighter, and it's perfect! She even likes it, which surprised me, since she DOES NOT like hats, bows, etc. on her head. The buckle seems to be a great design that will eliminate the risk of pinching her. I also like the flashers/reflectors on the back, as an added visibility factor. We tried her in her bike seat, and it seems like it will work out great. We are all looking forward to our first family bike ride, and since we are in Florida, and it's 80 degrees in December, that may even happen this weekend! Kudos to Bell for what seems to be a great helmet for our smallest rider.

Kathe Kruse Rainbow Baby Doll, Red

Kathe Kruse Rainbow Baby Doll, RedReally pleased with this purchase as it is cute, the fabric is soft, and the teething part is a lovely beech wood. My daughter is only newborn so I don't know if she will actually use it, hence 4 stars overall rather than 5. It is only small, around 16.5cm, but so adorable. As per the other reviewer, the colour is deep orange rather than bright red. That is fine with me, as I love orange but buyer beware.

Quick warning about the color of this toy: It's not red. It's a deep, bright orange. It's still very cute and very sweet and gender-neutral, but it's not a pure red. This only matters to me because red is my baby girl's favorite color, but she doesn't seem as madly attracted to the orange as she is to all things red.

In any case, I still like the toy and she still likes it too. It's not her very favorite (she shows teething preference for her plastic keys and her little Haba wooden toys like her froggie and ring-rattle), but she still likes it. She gnaws on the head and chomps down on the ring. She loves feeling the little antennae with her mouth and scratching the fabric with her fingernails.

I think it's cute and I like that it's free of BPA and other questionable substances. I leave it in her crib in case she needs something to chew on at bedtime. I'm pleased with it, just might choose a different color if I were to do it again.

My four-month-old daughter is in the early stages of learning how to use her hands. The Kathe Kruse ring doll is a wonderful toy for this stage. She can grasp the soft cloth body or curl her fingers around the wooden ring, so she is able to lift it no matter where her hands land on it. The doll is easily laundered and the wooden ring can be cleaned with a sponge or rag, so everything can be kept clean and safe for chewing.

Lamaze Octivity Time, Blue

Lamaze Octivity TimeI got this toy for my 2 month old because he would get cranky in the car at times and thought this would be the perfect way to intertain him for a long time. It is one of the best toys for the car seat I think because it sits great on his lap. I tryed hanging toys from the car seat handle but all the toys I tryed either were too short so they were really far up and didn't catch his attention or really long and hung in his face literally. At first when we gave our son this toy he didn't pay any attention to it at all for the first day or two. But then one day we were driving and hear him giggling and talking away so we look back and he is staring straight at this toy..SO CUTE!!! Now everytime we get in the car he just has so much fun staring at this toy. I am SO GLAD I got this toy to intertain my little one in the car.

When my son was 7 months old, he really liked to play with this toy. It was great for him to learn to grab and hold on to things and to explore different textures. At 17 months, he'll still play with it sometimes but not like when he was younger. It is big enough that it can sit on their belly (in a bouncy chair) or on their lap/floor in front of them and be easy for them to grasp at it and manipulate it but not so big it engulfs them. A good toy especially for the second half of the first year!

I was at the bookstore doing my homework, and I bought this toy just because it was half off, and not thinking much about it. My 5 month old ended up loving it. Some of the tentacles make a crunchy sound as if he were playing with newspaper, I think thats what he likes the best. It will keep him entertained for about an hour. Which is great for me.

My baby LOVES this toy. Her daddy has now named him "ocho", so cute. She loves playing with all of the toys on it. The colors are great! The best part is that it can sit on her legs when she is riding in the car.

Want Lamaze Octivity Time, Blue Discount?

My son loves this toy! He has some special needs, and he has some impairment in his hands. The legs make the toy easily prop-able on his torso, and he can lay there and touch the different textures. It has a lot of crinkles and things to do, and the toy will grow with him.

Playskool Mr. Potato Head Toy BROWN

Playskool Mr. Potato Head Toy BROWNI bought this for my 2 year old daughter for Christmas. I wasn't sure she would even like it but ever since we opened it she keep asking for her "Mr. tater head!" This is definitely a classic...been around for years. I would have given it a 5 start rating except some of the pieces, especially the arms can be tough to put in.

The back door compartment falls off easily and it is difficult for my son (18 months) to get the features in & out. He does like playing with it though but gets frustrated a lot with the door & pieces.

Bright Starts Phone Friend Toy, Bugaboo

Bright Starts Phone Friend Toy, BugabooMy 3 and 1/2 month loves this but can't squeeze it yet to make the sounds so we have to. The sounds are cute but like any children's toy gets old fast. This can take him out of a hissy fit though so it's worth it. Only downside is no replacable batterys and can't wash it. If you've got a drooling, teething baby it's worth buying but only as a toy to hold over them and touch them with.

My Grand daughter seems to love it. The sweet little noises it makes and the fact that it's easy for her to hold makes it better.

The Snowman: Light-up Pullstring Musical by Kids Preferred

The Snowman: Light-up Pullstring Musical by Kids PreferredThe actual toy is not as pictured. There is a huge--and rather ugly--blue star on the snowman's head (bigger than the snowman itself!). It is the star, rather than the snowman, that lights up and plays music. There is no pull-string on the snowman; it's rather the tether connecting the star to the snowman's head that activates the music/lights.

As a result, kids cannot really cuddle with this and, based on other toys with the same design, it probably won't be as durable as toys with a regular pull-string. Hard to say though: we're just going to give it away since it's not at all what we wanted.

Buyer beware.

This toy may not be the classiest, or most educational but if you have seen the Snowman movie with it's hauntingly beautiful theme song, you will love this toy. Yes, the snowflake is clunky, but it has a music box inside it and couldn't be functional if it was delicate and beautiful. The cord doesn't pull out very far, so it seem safe for a child to manipulate, but I will hang mine in the nursery in the winter and use it more like a mobile.

K's Kids Mom's on the Phone Doll

K's Kids Mom's on the Phone- JuliaThis little phone is excellent, especially for those 9 month olds who go through the separation anxiety stage.

The recording of your own voice is very good quality. Just a shame you can't record more than one message.

Highly recommended by my little 10 month old girl.

My daughter got this as a present when she was 15 months old and her Aunt left her a cute message saying "Hello...". My daughter is now 20 months old and loves when I record her voice on the message or my voice saying "I love you." This product offers a nice way for a loved one to send a greeting to a toddler.

This is a neat product concept. Our two grand-daughters enjoyed it. It has been handled & dropped many times, no real problem. The only flaw is that the "record" button is too easy for little hands to depress and hold ( that means: "erase" the recording). Overall a minor flaw.

Gund Grover Large 20 inches

Gund Grover Large 20 inchesMy daughter and her husband both loved their stuffed Grovers when they were little back in the '70's. They asked me to find one that looked like theirs for their 1 year old son for Xmas. This is made by Gund, and is available for $40 and under (I bought it on Amazon for less than that). It is much like the one my daughter had 30 years ago, but actually can sit, and has a mouth that opens. My grandson loves it. If your kids loved Grover, buy this for their kids!

Why is this advertised as a 20 inch Grover? The product dimensions do not say this is 20 inches. The product dimensions say this is 16.5 inches.

Ty Beanie Babies Vines Monkey

Ty Beanie Babies Vines  MonkeyI ordered this monkey for my grandson because the one he had was left at the daycare and he was missing his friend. When i opened the package, it was similar to the picture, however, it had those big googley eyes, not the little black eyes as in the picture. I guess it was a newer version of the VINES. My grandson doesn't really play with it.

My daughter's nanny lost her Vines monkey so we were looking for a replacement. The monkeys we received are not the ones pictured,.

These had really large eyes and seemed to be a different or a revised version of the toy.

Seller should show accurate pictures. We're sending these back.
