The description of this item is completely wrong. It is 80% cotton (not listed as organic on the packaging or the item's tags), 20% polyester, and the head is polyurethane foam. I am very upset that Amazon would allow such false advertising. Families searching for an ORGANIC toy will not want such a toxic lovie for their baby.This item at first glance seems so simple, you might be quick to pass it by. But it is SUCH a fantastic product, I intend to make it my go-to baby shower gift! I received one for my four month old son. The directions instruct for mother to sleep with/hold the doll for a period of time to "transfer" scent. The idea is when the baby is then snuggling near it at night and begins to stir, they smell mom and settle. My son even at four months old does in fact seem to respond to it and has slept with it for two nights now. When awake, he loves the dolls texture and giggles at it's expressionless face (which I love, being a fan of Waldorf style dolls, as well). It is a high quality product and I highly recommend it!I love it. My son took to it right away and he sleeping through the night at 3 months. I am one happy mommy.

Bath Squirters: Garden In Bag
I looked all over for bath toys for my daughter and these were some of the cutest I found. They're the perfect size and my daughter loves chewing on them. She was 7 months when I bought them and even now months later she still loves um.Just remember to sqeeze all the water out of them before storing or they will get meldow inside and its realy hard to get out.I got these for my infant daughter, she started playing with them in the tub, and I noticed tiny little plastic pieces suddenly floating all over the place! The paint started coming off and there was plastic EVERYWHERE. Terrible product and not at all safe for children!

I like the bugs, they are extremely cute.My only complaint is that I d like one day to find this kind of bath toys but not squirters. Where we live, there is always mold (no matter how often you clean your shower, does not change the problem) and mold has the bad tendency to sneak INTO any squirter and I end up throwing them away. But that s no flaw of these particular ones. I like these because they are cute and not too expensive so I can throw them away after a couple of months without remorses.

Pac-Man Blinky Deluxe Child Costume
From years of purchasing Halloween costumes, it has become evident that most costumes are going to be made cheap and this one is no different. The costume does its job though and offers two different ways to wear it (head covered or head out). It is what my kid wanted though so it is what he got. It will be just right for this Halloween.

Miyim Organic Plush Storybook Collection - 11" Fred The Monkey
I bought this organic Miyim monkey-11" Fred-as a gift and he is VERY cute. HOWEVER, the description on the Amazon website says made with "certified organic fiber" and "natural unprocessed/unbleached cotton filling" and yet the tag sewn onto the monkey says "Polyester fiber filled". Upon reading the cardboard tag around his neck I see it says ""made with recycled fiber stuffing"...they don't say what KIND of fiber...but it definately isn't cotton fibers. I also just bought Benjamin the 11" frog and the 7" sleeping baby monkey by Miyim and checked to see what they were made with. The baby monkey is stuffed with polyester fiberfill, and the frog is 100% cotton filled. One of the reviewersof Andrew the hippopointed out that her old Andrew was filled with cotton and a newer replacement Andrew was filled with polyester. TOO BAD. Miyim had a unique product. But if they are moving to use cheaper, synthetic products they could at least let the customer know!I bought this toy for one of my twin girls for her first birthday. She found it early and was kissing him and trying to pull him out of the box. I had it wrapped and she would pick it up out of the pile of gifts and try to unwrap it. I don't know how she knew it was hers, but she loves this toy. She kisses him all the time and won't let him go. That monkey and her are inseparable. I've never seen her like this with any other toy. It's so cute.Buy Miyim Organic Plush Storybook Collection - 11" Fred The Monkey Now

I'm sold! MiYim's adorable organic critters have become the common thread with every gift I've given my friends for their new babies this summer. My husband bought our baby daughter the Andrew the Hippo stuffed animal from the collection when she was in the NICU. It sat in her isolete with her. She's 3.5 months now and loves Andrew. So, we've since given Fred the monkey and Benjamin the frog to two other friends. I can't wait for the next baby to be born to continue to gift the MiYim stuffed animals. They're wonderful gifts, well made and absolutely adorable. And, since they're organic, I don't worry about my daughter playing with it.Tuesday, May 13, 2014
InCharacter Costumes, LLC Monster-Boo
My 7 month old son LOVES this costume. We live in California so trying to find a not-so-warm costume is difficult, but this works perfectly. If you live in colder weather, a thermal would fit underneath it just fine. It's not itchy and my little guy laughed when he saw himself in the mirror. The head piece didn't bother him one bit. The fit was perfect, but my guy is small for his age so make sure to order accordingly.A little baby came in to pose next to me. Just HAD to pick him up!-------------------LOOK at my PROFILE PHOTO now! --------------------
The kid took one look at me... did a double-take and began laughing
uncontrolably. Remarkable photo... remarkable costume... looks BETTER

I ordered this in October as I started collecting Christmas gifts for my granddaughter. It didn't work changed batteries 3x works for a minute and then stops. Even though I just gave it to her, because I ordered it in October (took a while to get here too) store won't do anything even to confirm it was defective. It came packaged in a plastic bag and so when I got it I feared it might be a knock-off. Since I have nothing to lose, I'm sending it to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and I'll update based on findings.BOUGHT FOR MY NIECE. SHE LOVED IT CARRIES WITH HER EVERY WHERE. MIGHT HAVE TO GET ONE FOR MYSELF.Monday, April 21, 2014
Colorful Rainbow Foam Letters & Numbers Interlocking Mats ~ 36 Pieces Total ~ COMES w/ Edges & Corn
I absolutely love this mat. We have hardwood floor and was always worried about my grandsons hitting there little heads on the hard floor. Now, with these foam mats, they could play all they want and the mats provide them with extra cushion if they do fall over. I absolutely love it when my grandson runs to me and hollers the new letters or numbers he has learned. The borders are a nice addition as well and keep them from tripping over. All in all a great product for the value!!!

Alex Jr. Bon Voyage Toy
My 6 month old son LOVES this toy! He loves the little crinkly luggage items in the back of the car. He chews on them and squeezes them he just loves the feel and the sound! He likes to kick the car, as it's really big for him to hold on to just yet. He likes the trunk w/the mirror too, because that crinkles. It's a great go-to toy!I never thought packing the car was particularly fun until I watched a one-year-old happily stuff the picnic basket, hat, ball, umbrella and suitcases into the trunk of this squishy, plump car. Eight soft, crinkly pictures to pack delighted toddlers as they smashed the items into the little hand-sized compartment in the back of the car, shut the door and secured the silver tab to keep their prized possessions safe. As only toddlers know, it is just as much fun to take everything out as it is to put it in. Take a peak at yourself in the back mirror, open the hatch and start all over. Easily grabbable, this cushy car feels like a pillow and gets grabbed as a rattle too.As a speech-language expert at Play On Words, I tell parents that language building begins as you follow your child's lead as they hand you the items or start to load them in the car. Name them, talk about their shapes, colors and what we do with them--"The goggles, we need them to see underwater." "The picnic basket, that's where we load our food for lunch." Use rich vocabulary to build your child's word base and strengthen language skills. During the first year and a half is when parents can build their child's receptive language (understanding) in preparation for their saying words and little sentences at two years of age.

BeePosh Elvis Lion - Large
I bought this for my FAVORITE (female) friend. She had seen it in a store and just LOVED the size and feel! I have to agree, it's great quality and perfect to cuddle with.HOWEVER...by giving this Stuffed Lion to a friend, it does not guarantee any sort of relationship. I guess I should have read the description better...I thought for sure it would come with some sort of love potion.This Elvis Lion is so cuddly and has a lovable face. He is large and so squeezable. My Grandson loves him.

This is a gift for my 3 yr old great niece. I had bought her the farm when she was an infant and loved it. She actually wore it out. Her mom said it keeps her busy looking at the pictures and telling what is there. Dinner time isn't boring and she doesn't get distracted. Eats and interacts in the family setting.

Toy Story - Alien Classic Infant Costume
It says 12 to 18 months but it is definetely for a small 12 month old. We recevied this right before Halloween so we didn't have a choice and had to use it. Our baby was closer to 18 months old and average in size, way too small! The head thing was made for an adult and somehow got included in the baby costume. Not kidding on the size, it literally fit me, the parent. We had to pin it to the costume to keep it on. Not sure who this was designed for but it wasn't a baby between 12 to 18 months.Great costume that bring's the lol's at the expense of your kid and future embarrassment through family photos during family/friend gatherings.

This costume was so adorable on my 7 1/2 month old. Easy to put on and he could crawl around in it with ease. The reason for not getting a full five stars is because the head of the costume is huge. It did not stay in place, large enough for an adult to wear. Who makes an infant costume with a head as big as this? But, the overall costume was a hit.Thursday, January 9, 2014
Nursery Peter Rabbit, 11" Plush Stuffed Animal
My 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!Buy Nursery Peter Rabbit, 11" Plush Stuffed Animal Now

HABA Doll Soft Doll Leona
Leona arrived a little bit different from the picture. Her head is bigger and flatter.She is nonetheless very cute. My 5mo daughter loves her. She smiles and coos at her, probably at the doll's crooked smile or the different shades of red in the dress. Leona is soft and younger babies can grab at her dress or hair. Best of all is that she is machine washable!I was looking for a first doll for my baby and this is perfect! Small, quiet, interesting textures and colors and washable! We love it! It has held up though several washes now and still looks almost new. I will be buying a second since this will be the doll that goes to bed with her every night.

Fisher-Price Rock Roll 'n Ride Trike
I thought I'd have my son Connor demonstrate how this tricycle passes the toddler test.This is so reasonable in price and provides so much fun for so long. We gave it to my son when he was one year. He is two and still uses it every day. He can't do the pedals yet but he goes around the block on this propelling himself with his feet. Its extremely sturdy and balanced and is not prone to tipping. In fact, he has only fallen a couple times and that was when he got on or off and just didn't swing his leg over it far enough. Yep, there are more expensive nicer looking trikes, but this is fun and relatively safe even before they can pedal. And my son still has fun to come on this one once he learns to pedal! Update: My son used this trike until he turned 6!Buy Fisher-Price Rock Roll 'n Ride Trike Now
I purchased the previous version of the Rock, Roll & Ride for my eldest son when he was two. The idea is great -anyone with at least one kid knows that multitasking toys are a wonderful idea. However, as a tricycle, this does have a few flaws.The biggest flaw we found is with the plastic "tires." They look cute, but are really slippery, so they don't grip the ground well. My son had a really hard time learning to pedal because he'd get the movements right, but the trike wouldn't go anywhere... he just literally spun his wheels. Then, my husband wrapped rubber bands around the tires to help them get some traction, and that helped Jake long enough to get the hang of it. Also, if you use this outside, the tires get pretty scraped up, so you might not want to bring it back indoors where it could scratch your floors.
Another flaw was the short push handle, but according to the specs for this model they have lengthened the pushbar, which can only be good. I'm 5'6" and I thought it was too short for me before.
Lastly, I think this item has a short life span for your child. Jake turned three years old at the end of January, and he's really outgrown it in terms of what the trike can do. The ride just isn't smooth enough to justify him using for real "bike riding."
I've read a lot about trikes tipping, and if I think about it, this does tip, but not all that often, so that's a good feature.
Finally, I guess this is a good recommendation as an indoor toy. For a longer-lasting outdoor toy, I'd try one of the Kettlers.
Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Rock Roll 'n Ride Trike Here
This is a great toy. We gave it to my best friend's daughter for her 2nd birthday and she loved it instantly. There is NO design flaw. What people have trouble with is that when you screw together the wheel fork & steering wheel, the hole is only pre-drilled to a certain point. The other 3/4" you need to drill in yourself-into the plastic so that it stays secure. If it were pre-drilled all the way in, it would fall out. It's like that on purpose!That said, the a power screw driver or drill with a screwdriver bit worked great. You also need a hammer to tap in some pieces on the wheels. It was easy to assemble.
I was a little worried about the handle height. I'm 5'8" and I could easily push it without bending over. I think people over 5'10" would have to bend down. Since the mom is going to be doing most of the pushing, and she's shorter than me, it won't be a problem. I hear the XL version of this trike has a longer handle.
It's really easy to convert from rocker to trike, and her 5-year-old cousin figured it out in under 5 minutes. The seat is adjustable to accommodate growth.
Hope this helps!We have three of these as each of my boys received one for their first birthday and I think they are great. The only problem is I wish they were all at the same house two are by their Grandparents 3000 miles away while my three fight over the one we have at home. Makes we want to go buy one or two more. My six year old still loves to ride it even though he has moved onto a big boy bike because he can really zoom around the corners without getting nervous. The little foot rest doesn't do much but not a huge problem. Found that it worked best in the rocking mode when off the carpet. The handle is great as not only am I able to push them but they push each other. It really manuvers well. My almost 2 year old tries to pedal it but is not quite big enough so he just zooms around with foot power. All in all a great toy that after 5 years of constant use shows no signs of "decay" how many toys can you say that about?

Black Bomb Angry Birds Piggy Money Bank Coin Box Birthday/xmas Toy for Boys&girls Gift Baby Room Ch
Very poorly painted. I had to use a sharpy to fix a lot of it. Only about the size of a softball maybe smaller. Very disappointed.These banks are much smaller than the picture led me to believe; only about the size of a softball. They are very durable, though. My kids have found other uses for them since they can't hold too much money.It was small, plastic, and cheesy. Definately not like the ceramic one I was trying to replace. Do not bother.I bought this item not realizing that the size of it was super smaller than appears and no descriptions was posted to knowing this before purchase .... Not satisfied!

Corolle Les Classiques Classic 12" Baby Doll (P'Tit Ange)
We love the doll. It was for our daughter's 2nd birthday. We specifically chose a doll with eyes that will close and absolutely no battery packs. Our daughter loves her "baby". Only downside for us is that it's hard to find accessories like clothes or bottles for a 12" doll. Target and other places sell items for 14", but most sell 16" or larger.btw, the newborn size baby diapers fit perfectly!After reading the reviews and the description I thought this would be a good size for my four year old. Well it's just too small. Doll has great scent, well made but it seems no matter has small your girl is they want a life size baby. I purchased this doll because it wasn't made in China.

The doll has really cute little green eyes.......I think my little one will love her.....She looks nothing like the old water babies but still really cute.Ordered this thinking it was one of the original Water Babies dolls, which are soft and filled w water to make them heavier to feel like real babies... My daughters all loved these and I was buying this for a special friend's granddaughter and ended up not giving it to her. Cheap China plastic dimestore product.Buy Water Babies Doll Bath Fun Set by Wild Planet BRAND NEW! Now
The doll is very cute, and my little one has a blast playing mommy while in the tub. But good luck squeezing all the water out when the bath is over. Nearly impossible. And the worst part? There are 2 little holes at the bottom of the back of the doll's head, so the head ends up with water in it too. Her head is hard, not very squishy, so it breaks your hand to squeeze that water out. I just know if I could see inside her head (and probably body) I'd be horrified at the mold and other ick growing because of the bit of water left each time. IMPOSSIBLE to get it all out. Don't even want to think of the health issues from mold etc growing inside this doll. Absolutely idotic. Why would they make this doll so you cannot EASILY get all the water out and dry her out? Now I can't get her away from my child, either. Great. I'd definitively look for a completely one piece bath doll if that's what you're looking for.Read Best Reviews of Water Babies Doll Bath Fun Set by Wild Planet BRAND NEW! Here
I really liked this doll. When it is filled with warm water, it feels real and my girls like to cuddle her. The bath tub is fun too. Just put it in a sink or tub and let you kids give her a bath. Than dry her with her little towel.I left water in for extended amounts of time and have no issued with mold or anything like that.
