Lamaze Play & Grow Pupsqueak Take Along Toy

Lamaze Play & Grow Pupsqueak Take Along ToyI think this neon dog is cute. But his squeaker is kind of hard to squeeze, even for me. My baby (who is now 5 months) will stare at him and grab the bone. But there isn't a whole lot else she can do with him. I will squeeze his nose and he makes some barking sounds which she stares at, but that's about it. I think other Lamaze animals are probably better. We have a doll one that my baby likes better b/c it has rings and other attachments to grab at.

My daughter loves Pupsqueak. It is attached to her carseat, so it travels everywhere with us. She is constantly playing with/chewing on the crinkly ears. She also really likes it when I bounce it on the table to make it squeak. Nice, bright colors. Not too big and not too small. Good traveling toy.

I bought this for my 5-month-old, who absolutely loves it. I didn't realize it makes noise, but if you push on the nose, it barks. THAT is what my baby loves so much! It's very cute to see her so excited by it! :-)

V.Smile Baby Smartridge Barney

V.Smile Baby Smartridge BarneyBe aware that these cartridges are for the "V.Smile Baby" learning system. They will NOT fit in the original "V.Smile" learning system.

My son is 2 years & 4 months old. He sees his big sister playing her V-Smile and wants to do it too; so V-Smile Baby is great for him. After 2 times playing with him and showing him how to do it, he can now sit alone and play for about 10 minutes. That is a lot for his age!! This is most useful though as a adult and child together toy.

I will say that all the V-smile Baby cartridges cover the same topics (numbers, shapes, colors) and I won't buy more becuase I am approaching this as a learning toy, not a TV time.

My older daughter did not like this game when we got it at age 3. Too babyish for her. This is just right for 2.5 years old.

My son played with this for about 5 minutes and that was it. It is kind of hard for them to engage because although you can see that they are doing something on the TV, I don't think they get it.

CASHFLOW 202

CASHFLOW 202Ok I know this is in the product description but it is worth repeating: you must have Cashflow 101 to be able to play Cashflow 202. I say this with a double meaning. You need the board, game pieces, and score cards from 101 but also and more important you need the knowledge and foundation from 101 before you try 202. Get 101 first and play through it until you can consistently escape the Rat Race within a couple of hours. Then when you are ready for a challenge get 202.

The basic game play is the same but 202 introduces many new concepts and some twists that make for a challenging game. I have had 202 for about a year and a half now and whenever we play Cashflow (my wife and I play once a month) we always want to play 202. At first it was extremely challenging but now I am to the point where I can usually escape the Rat Race fairly quickly in 202.

Big Deal and Small Deal cards have been replaced by Cashflow Deal and Capital Gains cards.

New Capital Gains concepts include: starter houses, vacant land, put options, call options, short sale of stocks.

New Cash Flow concepts include: network marketing, royalty income, REIT shares, 1031 real estate exchanges.

The Market is MUCH MORE VOLATILE in Cashflow 202.

Stocks: The ON2U and MYT4U companies will go BANKRUPT and all shares become worthless. The stocks will SPLIT. The stocks will REVERSE SPLIT.

Real Estate: Your rents per unit can INCREASE or DECREASE by $50 per month PER UNIT depending on what the market does. You can LOSE your property due to LANDSLIDES or maybe the Airport wants to take over your land.

The game teaches you how to make money in spite of (or because of) this volatility!

The Doodads are BRUTAL in 202.

You could draw a Doodad that requires you to pay $10K down PLUS make monthly payment PLUS increase your OTHER expenses.

There are a few new concepts on the Fast Track such as franchising your business or being forced to sell your business but for the most part the big changes are it is much more of a challenge to escape the Rat Race.

If you enjoy playing Cashflow 101 and are up for a challenge definitely try Cashflow 202.

Have fun, and good luck!

Great way to learn about technical stock trading, ie puts, calls, and shorts. Just to focus on that, for one game we took out all the cards that weren't related to stock trading. That play round really made the stock trading make more sense. Great way to learn about obtaining capital gains and increasing cash flow.

Buy CASHFLOW 202 Now

There is not much more to say but it's a great reference and information that'll help me and mine move ahead.

This is a very educational game that teaches you how to invest and the world of finances. Robert and his team did an outstanding job creating a game such as this one.

Want CASHFLOW 202 Discount?

The game was purchased for family and friends. It was a hit. The games requires some accounting skills that most investors would find necessary going forward in their financial independence. The game is colorful enough to attract both young and old players. It may be considered more of an educational tool and everyone seems to learn from it.

I would highly recommend it.

Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Shake & Crawl Racer

Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Shake & Crawl RacerMy husband and I purchased this toy for our 7 month old at Toys R Us. He had started to crawl and we wanted him to have a toy he could chase. Here are the pros and cons of this toy in my opinion...

Pros:

Fun sound effects

Car moves on its own when the rattle is shaken

Has 2 setting so the car can go strait or in a circle

Volume control so the toy has a quieter setting

Cons:

Toy cost is on the expensive side

Does not work too well on carpet

There is only traction on one of the wheels so it stops easily if anything gets in the way

If the car is too far away the rattle doesn't work

I have to chase down the car often and redirect it to make it move for my son again

I gave the toy 4 stars because I totally recommend it in spite of the cons. It is a fun interactive toy that encourages crawling. I also recommend getting the toy early when your baby first start to sit up on their own to maximize its use because the toy is not cheap.

I bought this as a birthday gift for a one year old but when it came I wished I had gotten it for my two year old for Christmas. It's perfect for the whole age range. You can make the car go by shaking the rattle or rolling the ball on top. It's extremely durable (which is a plus these days!)and interesting for babies who are just sitting up to toddlers running around. I'm purchasing a second one for my sons birthday!

My son and I love this toy. He will set around for hours and watch the car going around and around. I did have a problem in the beginning with the rattle working, but you just reset the car (turn the car off and then back on)it and it works fine.

I am a very picky mom when it comes to toys for my son ..specially with so many toys and so many companies in the market ..

I look for a variety , durability , and my son should not get bored by playing with it after few times ..This toy has passed all these tests ....its adorable with a wonderful bright color ...My son 10 months old absolutely loves this toy ..Its unique in its way ..Ever since My son started crawling and he makes it go forward go backward which it does not but he still tries .I wish i could upload a video when he is playing with it ..i will try to ..

This is a good purchase ..

Want Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Shake & Crawl Racer Discount?

This is a great toy! My son got this when he was 5 months old. He wasn't able to shake the rattle hard enough to make the car move. I had to help him with it. Now that he is 9 months old, he is able to shake it hard enough to make it work. You have to be in close proximity to the toy though. He likes to spin the wheels and the underneath gears when the toy is off. Occasionally he shrieks so loud that it makes the car go without shaking the rattle.

Barney Singing I Love You Barney 10" Plush

Barney Singing I Love You Barney 10' PlushUnlike some other reviews, I found this version of the Barney doll to be of good construction, a size that matched what it said and a coloration that matched what is expected. Some complained the color was not a true "Barney" purple, but this one very much is true to Barney color. There are so many similar versions, you need to look closely. Admit trying to get it to sing takes a press that most little children will not be able to do. It takes considerable pressure, however this can be a plus where you can control the usage vs it constantly making noise with a small child pressing it over and over. For reference, I am the grandfather of the child so maybe the last comment is just being an older guy. Overall I found this to be a good buy, if not a little pricey. But when your almost 2 year old grand daughter loves an older cartoon character that isn't as easy to find, you do what you have to do. Bottom line, she loves it and it is holding up after about 5 or 6 weeks.

I couldn't find a singing Barney anywhere until I located it on Amazon. I received Barney within a couple of day after shipment, thank you sooo much for the fast shipping response and I got it just in time before Christmas. It was brand new in the box. The only slight issue I have is it don't sing "I love you, you love me, we are a happy family with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, wont you say you love me to, instead it sing I love you, you love me, we best friends like friends should be, etc etc. But overall its wonderful and I will be recommending using Ty's Toy Box again, again & again. Once again, thank you soooooooooooo much!!! ***** 5 stars on shipping!!!

I just received this toy today for my daughter who will be 2 in September. I was amazed that it came today... it took only 2 days!!! I am very pleased with how fast it arrived, how much it looks like the barney on the show, how the voice matches to the barney we watch, and how great of condition this toy is in. My daughter is hooked on barney and ever since i opened him for her she hasn't put him down. the only thing that i would complain about this toy is that the button you push to hear him sing is not easily pushed. i had to push kinda hard to get him to sing for her. otherwise great product!

Disney Snow White Seven Dwarf Pool Bath Tub Toy Set

Disney Snow White Seven Dwarf Pool Bath Tub Toy SetI bought this set thinking snow white would come with it, it did not. I bought one 20 years ago similer to this and the kids love them. It is very durable and the colors held up.I guess I should of check it out better.

People have complained about this because there is only the Dwarfs and no Snow White. My grandson just love's them they are bigger and made very nice and if I was buying them for a girl I guess I'd wish it had Snow White. But It was perfect for what I wanted

My son is obsessed with the seven dwarfs! He is always marching around our house singing, "Heigh-ho." For his birthday he wanted the toys. I searched everywhere before I found these. They say pool and bath toys, but he just uses them to play around the house with. Each one is a few inches tall and they are very sturdy. He loves lining them up and pretending they are marching. I love that they come in a handy carrying case so they all stay together.

Sassy Baby's Keys

Sassy Baby's KeysAt first glance this item seems harmless, however the rings that hold it together are made of wood. This wood is covered with some sort of veneer that comes off with little sharp edges when a baby chews on it. Our 7mo old baby has two bottom teeth and after playing with this for a day and spending a lot of time chewing on it we noticed that these little "paint chips" must have come off in her mouth. Please please don't buy this item for your child. As for us we are going to see about getting this removed from the market.

My daughter loves playing with these keys and chewing on them. There are a variety of different textures (corduroy, velour, wood, crinkle, silk knots) to feel and play with and she enjoys them all. One key is a rattle and the other squeaks when squeezed. This is a great diaper bag toy as well. The only thing I might change is to make the wooden rings a bit smaller and more rounded (they're too big to easily gum in the mouth). But I still highly recommend this toy!

Unfortunately, this can't seem to hold my 6 month old's attention. There's nothing technically wrong with it... but it doesn't make any noise when shaken (which my baby loves) and it doesn't have any good pieces to gnaw on.

Fisher-Price Grow with Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - Blue

Fisher-Price Grow with Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - BlueBought this for my 18mo daughter but she really dislikes using it as a seated scooter. Even setup with the higher base for the seated scooter position, it's VERY low to the ground. She doesn't find it easy or comfortable to push with her feet. She keeps trying to stand on it, so I think eventually we'll be able to use it as the standing scooter. I may try to hack it (tape some boxes together to make a higher seat) to get it to work, or just let it sit in the garage for the next few years and buy something else for a seated scooter haven't decided yet.

I really wanted to like this. My 2 yr old son received this as a birthday present from the grandparents. It's really cute and I'm all for buying something that will grow with your child. But the sitting option just doesn't work. The "seat" is WAY too low to the ground so when he sits on it, his knees come up to his chin. It's very awkward and he gets frustrated because he can't scoot anywhere. The stand-up scooter option seems to work fairly well but considering my son is only 2, he doesn't yet have the stability (or desire) to really use it. So basically I can either return it, or let it sit in my house for a couple years until he grows into it. It's going back...we're getting a Fisher Price Lights and Sounds trike. I would only recommend this to someone who wants a scooter. And if you want that, you might as well buy a scooter that grows into a skateboard.

Buy Fisher-Price Grow with Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - Blue Now

We originally put this together as the seated toy and our daughter didn't like it, the next day we changed it to a scooter and she & her friends ride all the time. She took a couple lessons on how to use one leg to push & hasn't looked back since. We've had it for 3 months, no problems with durability thus far. Good buy for the price, 2 wheels in the front make it easier to steer, wide foot board is great for a beginning rider. I would buy this again & recommend.

Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Grow with Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - Blue Here

Scooter requires dis-assembly to convert. This process is not difficult nor time consuming, however it is annoying. A child may first want to sit, then quickly use it as a scooter. A quick turnaround is simply impossible, as the unit has to be taken apart from one stage and re-assembled in the other. The overall quality of construction appears to be sturdy and able to stand up to the abuse posed by children. The conversion is easy but something that requires a screwdriver and several minutes not a two minute turn, Annoying for both the parent and child.

Want Fisher-Price Grow with Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - Blue Discount?

I read the other reviews when deciding between this product and a skateboard/scooter combo for my 2 yr. old son. One of the reviews I read said that the "trike" option was pretty lame because it was awkward and too small to effectively ride around on. My son is really short so I thought that he wouldn't have a problem riding it as a trike. I was wrong. As a trike, it's to low to the ground so kids can't really scoot around on it. We changed it to the scooter within an hour. As a scooter, my son loves it! I was really wanting something that he could grow with and that was a little more versatile. I should have gone with the scooter that becomes a skateboard.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Sing-with-Me CD Player

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Sing-with-Me CD PlayerI purchased this at a store yesterday for my son's 1st birthday, thinking that the disc gets put into the slot, and it plays the song printed on the disc. WRONG! When I put the first disc in, it only made a cutesy noise. It was then I realized how misleading the packaging is by how the toy is displayed.

This is a cute toy, and my son enjoys dancing to the songs--after I press a button 2-3 times to get THROUGH the noises and TO a song... He is also at the stage where he loves putting things in/taking them out, so he is entertained. I just don't see this having a lot of return play since the in/out phase won't last for too long, and he'll be moving on to other skills soon.

I had no problem paying fifteen bucks for the toy when I thought it worked as stated above, but I now feel ripped off after seeing how the toy actually works.



The FIsher Price Laugh and Learn Sing with Me CD player is a bit of misleading since it doesn't play CDs. However, it does offer plenty of fun nursery rhymes, colorful flights, and small plastic discs (that are supposed to be the cds). Our daughter started playing with her player when she was younger than 6 months and she still loves playing with it now that she is two. Initially, she just liked the songs and blinking lights then she advanced to trying to put the CDs into the player and now -she likes to sing-along with songs.

A few other notes

The CDS don't actually play they are just plastic discs

variable volume settings

Songs about the ABC's, 123's, and nursery rhymes

The door opens and the players sings "oooppppennn" and then you close it and it sings "Clooossssed"

Very easy to use our daughter was able to figure it before she was 6 months old

Final Verdict One our daughter's favorites it has helped our daughter develop motor skills (putting the CDs into the player it is amazing how much she enjoys doing this) plus all of the fun music. It makes a perfect present for your favorite young boy or girl.

5 Stars

My son absolutely loves this toy! He loves music and it's his new favorite! He loves putting the "CDs" in the slot and in the front door too. He likes all the noises and sounds it makes and has no problem getting the music to play all by himself. It plays all the songs without the "CDs" which is a plus because the "CDs" get lost easily under furniture, etc. since they are small and flat.

I got this for my daughter not really knowing if she would like it. It is always hit and miss with her. We've purchased some expensive toys that she has glanced at once then walked awaywhat a waste. This was not the case for this little toy. She loves it. I think there is just so much cause and effect learning in it which is why she is drawn to it. The buttons play different noises each time you hit them with enough of a cycle not to get bored. You can open and close the front and put cd's in 2 different ways. It has gone to the beach with us and we bring it everywhere. She loves it. There are about 6 different songs it plays.

Want Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Sing-with-Me CD Player Discount?

My son loves this toy. He's 6 months and he just has to smack the thing to get it to make noise/music which makes him happy. He plays with it all by himself.

The raison d'etre of my review, however, is that Fisher Price changed the lyrics to Jack & Jill! Instead of going up the hill to fetch a pail of water, they "go looking for some color" and then they find a yellow sun. WTF!?! Are the PC-nazis dictating changes to nursery rhymes? Falling down the hill was too violent?! All nursery rhymes and stories are violent! Humpty-dumpty, snow white, hansel and gretel to name a few. Ridiculous. I am aghast. Aghast!

Plan Toys Planpreschool Twist N' Match

Plan Toys Planpreschool Twist N' MatchThis is a great concept. Each block can be twisted in the middle so the heart shape twists into an oval, the triangle twists into a rectangle, etc. This provides a fun and challenging way to explore shapes. Even as an adult, it made me see shapes in a new unique way. The cardboard bases are double sides with a small groove to insert the shape pieces. My guess is that they will eventually tear with moderate use, so I would encourage gentle treatment. The blocks seem very sturdy though and the colors are vivid. My 19 month old was frustrated at first trying to twist the blocks but is starting to figure it out. She can insert the block in the groove but it is challenging to pick the right one and she wouldn't be able to twist the blocks to match them. This would be a great product for a family with an 18 month old and a 3 year old as both would enjoy it as it can be adapted for different developmental stages. At eleven bucks at yoyo, I thought it was a good deal. Until my baby grows into It, we will probably just play with twisting the blocks and "talking" about the different shapes and colors. This is a different, fun, and challenging puzzle game!

I bought this for an airplane trip to keep my 21 month old occupied and it worked pretty well. I think its clever how they twist to create different shapes for the puzzles, and it travels well as the blocks are really light and it comes with a little bag. She wasn't as enthralled as I'd hoped she'd be, but it was a good travel toy, we're saving it for our next trip, I think she'll grow into it.

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.

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.

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.

Playskool Walk N Ride - Pink

Playskool Walk N Ride - PinkGot this for my DD 8 months ago. She was frustrated that her big brother was walking (he's 4) and she just couldn't get it. So, I bought this toy. She LOVED it. She squealed and was walking with it in no time. It took her a small while to figure out how to turn once she hit a barrier. It was lightweight enough that if she got stuck in a corner she could pick it up and turn around. My best friend has a LO that is 3 months younger than my DD. He visited and loved the walker so much that I bought the blue version for him for his birthday. He has been walking a lot more and better than before. He also squealed with delight when using this toy. My DD is almost 17 months old and still uses this.

I would and have recommended this product.

I am very happy with this toy. My son is 10 months old (about 27" tall) and is able to walk a few steps on his own, but prefers to walk with support. This push toy allows me to get some housework done or sit down for a couple of minutes. He can push it around easily, in part because the wheels don't turn, it slides nicely on our wood floor. He pushes it in the upright and the down position, it is a bit more sturdy in the down position. It is perfect for his size and stage of mobility, but I would not recommend this for an older child because of its size.

I got this as a gift..part of the gift is that my friends put it together for us! My daughter just loves this walker..how can I even call it a walker; it's a runner for her! She does circles around the house. She puts her stuffed animals in it for a ride. I know it's building up her legs to walk on her own and then she'll be able to ride on this. This is by far her favorite toy out of the many, many toys in the house!

My son was starting to cruise around and I wanted something that he could push. I loved that this toy was a push toy that converted to something that he could ride once he got older. This toy is very poorly manufactured. It isn't sturdy at all! My son has already pulled all of the parts off. It looks and feels very cheap. Spend a few dollars more and get another brand that is actually sturdy and doesn't fall apart. We had it two days before my son was able to pull the attachments off. He can't even walk with it very well, because the wheels dont roll smoothly and it's not sturdy and flips over. Total waste of money!!!!

My 9mth old granddaughter has been pulling up and walking along the table for a while. We noticed she started trying to walk without holding on. She is fearless. I wanted this for Christmas could not find a pink one in stores, so I ordered it online. No problem with shipping and my granddaughter is walking still a little wobbly but that's where the toy comes in. She already loves to ride it more than walking with it. She loves the activities on it.

Manhattan Toy Classic and Modern Travel and Play Puppy

Manhattan Toy Classic and Modern Travel and Play PuppyMy baby loves this toy. I have it hanging from the handle of his car seat. There are plenty of rings so it's easy for him to grasp when he reaches out---very nice for those still awkward, developing motor skills. The ring at the tale is perfect for mouthing/chewing on. He seems to enjoy looking at the toy and it's well made in my opinion. I really couldn't have asked for a more perfect toy for my 3 month old--wish I'd have found it sooner!
