Holgate Express Pull Train HZ1789
Wanted to buy toys Made in America for Christmas for my grandson and this was one of them. When it arrived I really checked it out and it was very well made and durable. He's a thrower and hopefully he won't throw this or there will be some dents in the wall because this is solid and well made. Very colorful and i'm sure he'll have fun playing with this for years to come.This train is so cute! I love it and it's great for photos. More importantly, our son loves it. We bought it for him at 14 mths, but he wasn't really into it until closer to 18 months. It gets a lot of use. He loves to study the cars and pull it around. The paint and cars have held up very well to his rough and tumble ways. BUT, the wheels will come off over time. It's been a year and I've had to reattach the wheels often. The holes for the screws strip, so I finally used wood glue on the screws to re-screw the wheels in place. This seems to work well. I'm glad I found a solution because it really is a fun toy. My now-26-mth-old really enjoys it. Just use caution if your little one might put a loose wheel in his mouth.The little train was well made (in the USA) and our little guy was delighted with it! And it arrived in time for Christmas even thought we ordered at the last minute.

He wanted a real baby goat, so this little served the purpose. He sleeps with it.My granddaughter loves animals. She needed a goat to add to her farm animal collection. This little goat was perfect. It is big enough to enjoy but small enough to not overwhelm.Tuesday, July 1, 2014
Angel Dear Stick Rattle
I have a 6 month babie and this is a great little thing he can holdIn his tiny hands and you can throw it in the washing machine and wash it to get rid of germs:)Although the bunny rattle is very cute, the handle is a little large for the little babies hand. That's the only reason I didn't give this a five star rating. Iwould probbly buy this again.

My daughter will be here in November but I've already amassed so many toys for her. This is such a cute rattle, I couldn't pass it up. The only thing I don't like is that you can only surface clean it. Other than that, a good buy!This rattle is adorable, and it's perfect for my baby. I bought it for him when he was 4 months old. It's completely soft and the right size for him to hold.This was an Easter Gift for my 6 month granddaughter. She liked it. It was easy to hold in her little hands and made just enough of noise to entertain her.Thursday, June 19, 2014

The World of Eric Carle Developmental Caterpillar by Kids Preferred
I purchased 2 stuffies and the book The Hungry Catterpillar for my grandson. I've been a mom for 40 years. Kids love to hold a character from the book that you are reading to them. It is wise to purchase a "spare" stuffy should harm befall the first! This is even better than pictured. Even the bottom of his feet are decorated!My 6 month old twin boys LOVE this toy. They enjoy the attenae and feet, for playing with and chewing on. They like that they can grab the toy firmly by the ring that has the beads. The teether tail is also a big hit. We've also seen them teething on the attachment ring, which is a convenient shape for them to hold onto. We should have bought two, because our boys enjoy this toy so much. It's a big hit.Buy The World of Eric Carle Developmental Caterpillar by Kids Preferred Now
I received this cute toy from a friend of mine with the Eric Carle book at my baby shower. My 4-month son LOVES it but scared us tremendously the other day when he began CHOKING on the antenna. This toy is a lot of fun and very durable, nothing came off of it. However, like most kids his age, he loves sucking and chewing on things. As he was sucking on the antenna, he twisted the toy upside down and let go of it, causing the 2-inch antenna to get lodged down his throat. THANK GOD my husband and I were sitting right in front of him at the time, because he immediately began throwing up and turning bright red. I never thought that would happen and it scared me half to death. PLEASE be careful with this or any toy that you think your baby might be OK with. We thought it was very safe and, for the most part, it is. But I don't believe there was a choking hazard warning on this toy and I just wanted to share our experience so other parents would remain cautious.Read Best Reviews of The World of Eric Carle Developmental Caterpillar by Kids Preferred Here
Most of us have read the story of a very hungry caterpillar. This toy is cute, well made, and seems to be enjoyed by the baby. It clips on the stroller or car seat, where you need but the space in the clip is a little wide that it can slip if pulled hard enough. The 3 beads on the caterpillar are pretty hard for a little teething mouth in my mind. The green chewing piece on the end of the caterpillar isnt flexable which I was hoping for. Other than these little minor things, its an excellent quaility of colors and material. My little girl is fond of the caterpillar antennas as her chewing spot, its the softest spot on the toy.Want The World of Eric Carle Developmental Caterpillar by Kids Preferred Discount?
Got this for a friend having a first baby. Nice bright large size toy, can clip to carrier or stroller. Bought to go with the board book Very Hungry Caterpillar which is a classic.Thursday, April 10, 2014
Mommy & Me Twin Doll Stroller with Free Carriage Bag - (Hot Pink)
I purchased this stroller for my daughter who just turned four. She is a pretty tall 4 year old and this stroller is a perfect fit..should be able to use it for a few years. The material seems to be durable and should hold up well. Fits 2 American girl dolls perfectly and folds up nice. Another great feature is the ease of assembly...just pop on the wheels and go. I had originally purchased a double doll stroller at Toys r us and returned it after reading the poor reviews and finding this gem. Overall, I highly recommend this doll stroller....don't hesitate.I purchased this double stroller for my 6 year old daughters birthday. It looks much bigger in the photos, and was surprised to see how littleit was...it is more for a three year old, so I was disappointed with the purchase.

Haba Clutching Toy Little Dwarf
It's small, soft and a very sweet little face for a baby to look at. The subtle rattling sound is in the pink ball on the hat. My 6 month old could not clutch it as easily as the Haba Kringelring or other Haba wooden teethers because it is rather stout for getting little fingers around! I see it as a toy to hold for and show to my baby, rather than something to just hand to him to play with on his own. The face is printed on (the reason it does not get 5 stars) but the butterfly is embroidered.

Heart Princess Pacifier chain
I LOVE this pacifier holder! It is just so darling. I get so many compliments from others. I do love most of Haba products, but this one is one of the most practical ones I use every day.The pieces are a little to big. I like how it looks, it's very durable and nice looking, but a little bit bulky...Buy Heart Princess Pacifier chain Now
Bought for my friends baby shower because my son LOVES his train one...we always get compliments on how cute it is..and plus it works great as a teether!!!I got introduced to Haha pacifier chain from another mom who uses it with all her daughters, she got the beaded one which is so adorable. So we got one too, Moo Baa pacifier chain but we left it at our relative house (we loved that one too). I found this replacement for our daughter and it's the cutest chain a girl can ask for. This one is skinnier and lighter than Moo Baa. The seller shipped it very fast too. We can't seem to live without our chain. These chains are good to use as a toy too. Our daughter has this chain clipped on her at all time even when she sleeps, she reaches out to it and put her pacifier anytime she needs it. It's a must have if your baby is a pacifier lover. At first I thought it was heavy (Moo Baa) and hard to get the pacifier wrapped around the string but after a couple of times I got used to it. At times though I wish they make these a little smaller/skinnier to make it hang on better on the lighter baby clothes such as summer dresses and also to make it easy to put the pacifier in (when you try to wrap the long string along the big characters can get in the way, you'll see). But we are still in love with it. We got compliments for this all the time. The colors are wonderful, it's easy to find/locate since it's very visible due to it's size and colors. Thinking of getting an extra to clip on her car-seat since we suffered one time when we accidentally left her chain on her PJ after changing her. Thank you Amazon for carrying these!I'm not sure who likes this chain more myself, or my twins. Not only is this pacifier chain cute but it's also functional. We have used this for pacifiers, teething rings and toys. My twins just love this! They chew on it, they play with it and they are so interested in it. I have actually seen them take it from the other twin regularly. There is just something about this pacifier chain that amazes them. I also like the string loop because it fits all of the pacifiers that we have and is reasonably quick to swap out. This pacifier chain will not work with pacifiers without a "handle" in the front.Thursday, February 27, 2014
Manhattan Toy Wood Rattle
My daughter (8mo) loves it! However it's little too heavy for small babies to hold with little hands.She had this when she was few months old, and she could bearly grab it, and bring it to her mouth but drops it on her face. I would recommend to the baby probably older than 6months old. It's a great toy! She enjoys rattling, and sometime just slides the pieces left and right with her fingers.Very cute with bright and engaging colors, but the way that the rattle is shaped leaves no place to hold/shake in little hands. My daughter was very content to stare at it when she was little and watch other people shake it, but since it didnt have an area that she could easily grasp, it quickly fell to the bottom of our diaper bag. Great idea, unfortunate design. My 7-month old loves this toy. It is very sturdy, easy for him to hold, and makes a nice sound when he shakes it. He chews on the ends and shakes it. Since it is wood, it has a different 'touch and feel' from the plastic rattles he has. It has different shapes for him to manipulate. I think he could have enjoyed this toy from an even earlier age.

Manhattan Toy Snuggle Sleep Sack for Baby Stella
I bought this to go with the Manhattan doll I got for my 18 mos. old daughter and she loves her doll but she does associate this sleep sack with bedtime. I thought it would be cute to have her put her baby doll to bed with her, maybe make bedtime an easier and fun transition but NOPE. My daughter hates naptime and bedtime so so she saw this and threw it. I put it on her doll to show her and she flipped out. Not the toys fault just a fussy mean toddler. Good quality, even my daughters tossing it around didn't do anything to it.I bought this for my baby for her 1st birthday along with the doll. She likes the doll well enough. The sleep sac is very cute and seems to be made very well.Buy Manhattan Toy Snuggle Sleep Sack for Baby Stella Now
My two year old daughter loves it. Also bought it for her cousin. She uses it for her baby stella and works for most other dolls. Her brother has even used it for his baby bear. Really adorable. Great since she now has a new baby sister who uses sleep sacks and now her baby can have one too before she goes to bed. Great quality and really cute!Read Best Reviews of Manhattan Toy Snuggle Sleep Sack for Baby Stella Here
I really love this sleep sack. It is very sweet, lovely soft colors and the attached toy is a nice design touch. I am happy with the quality and can see this will last through a lot of play.

We have a baby Stella doll but my daughter has recently switced to a small Mellisa & Dough 12" Baby Jenna Doll who fits the sleep sack well.

I have such a fun time playing with my Granddaughter, this puzzle/game has been a wonderful learning tool for her. So glad I made this purchase!This puzzle is so cute and unique. I just had to get one for my son. He seems to like this too. Nice quality and cute design. It's a great addition to his toy box. About 12 in x 8.5 in so, not too small or big for him. I think $25 for a wooden puzzle is a bit pricy... But this is so cute!Buy Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Match and Play Puzzle Now

Dandelion Organic Toy Squeaker, Duck
It is not easy to find organic sound-and-effect baby toys. My baby and I have been very pleased with this duck. Although she has not mastered the sqeak on her own, she loves his soft texture and crinkly hands. It wears well -my baby chews on him a lot and I have washed and dryed him many times in the machine.This is a very cute product. Nicely made and I love that it's organic. It is very small and I would recommend it for a new born or as a first toy. I bought for a six month old who already plays with toys and have much bigger and more colorful toys... so unfortunately he didn't find it very interesting. I still liked it.. ;)Buy Dandelion Organic Toy Squeaker, Duck Now

I am happy that there are options for organic toys but this duck is extremely small. Length is barely 5 inches. Was disappointed about that but the toy is extremely soft. I also like that it squeaks and has crunchy sounding feet...my dog may enjoy this toy more than my daughter so at least it will get used. Would not buy the other animals in this line.Bought as the first organic toy for my granddaughter. She is one year old now and still loves her ducky. Good quality toy.

It was a birthday present for my 20 year old best friend because of an inside joke we came up with a while back. She pulled it out of the bag, and started screaming. She loves it so much, it (now named ROOFUS) has travelled with her to Vermont for college, and back home for Christmas break. She introduced all of her dorm mates to ROOFUS as well. Thanks for an awesome product!

It's made very well and holds up great, is very soft and cuddly (no scratchiness at all!) and just looks awesome.My daughter has an european sized twin-bed and still, this bedding fits very well.

While we are really pleased with the design of this quilt it comes up short (literally) in a few areas. We ordered the full/ queen size quilt and when we laid it out over our daughters queen bed it barely covered her top mattress, leaving the sides of thebox spring exposed. We're wondering, looking at the picture of the single bed sized quilt in the product description, if there's any difference between the single and the queen size? At any rate, don't buy this blanket if you have a queen or full bed and are looking for the draped over effect shown in the picture. We are keeping it for an extra fold up blanket for a cold night but as a permanent bedspread it's just not practical.Read Best Reviews of Pem America Ballet Lessons Quilt Set Here
This bedding is super cute, just what I needed when my 4 year old asked for a ballet themed room.The only thing I wish is that the quilt was a little heavier. It is very lite and my daughter will need an extra blanket on her bed in the winter.
Other then that, seems very well made, washed well and looks so cute with my daughters pink walls and white furniture.

VTech - Baby Tunes Music Player
This is a wonderful toy! Our baby was born with Down's Syndrome and by the time he was two months old he had already figured out how to turn the toy on by pushing the large buttons (easily pushed by a baby who has weak muscles, a condition typical to Downs babies) or by letting out a loud scream if he was swaddled and couldn't push the buttons. When he is very fussy, this is the only toy that comforts him (when mommy can't). If he cries, the toy turns on by itself and immediately entertains him. He makes the most adorable faces and noises with this toy! I think this was the fist thing he ever truly smiled at! He loves the light which turns different colors at a soothing or upbeat pace (based on the song or tune playing), and if I sing or hum a song that this toy has, he immediately smiles and recognizes it! It motivates him to move his arms and work his eye muscles which is what his therapist wants him to do. It is easy to use and has a strap on the back that allows you to attach it to a crib. The "play", 5, 10, and 15 minute settings are also great. I love what this toy has brought out in our son. He is almost four months old and has not tired of it at all. I only wish that it had a silent setting sometimes, as that light seems that it could entertain him by itself (for nighttime). Otherwise, this is a fantastic toy in my opinion as it works very well for him! I'm buying him a second one for back up!!!My apologies, I left a review on the 26 th, but I see it didn't post. Excellent service. Actually arrive Christmas Eve. Toy was bought for autistic hearing impaired daughter and she kept insisting that we check the mail on Christmas Day. We kept trying to sign to her that the mail doesn't come today. Finally to get her to stop harassing us, my husband took her out to get the mail. To all of our surprise, there was her gift. I guess with all the partying doing-going stuff on the eve, she forgot to get the mail too. This gift totally rocked her day. Thanks again.I like all the modes except for the sing along one because the woman's voice isn't great, and the words to a lot of the songs are wrong compared to what is commonly taught at schools, on TV, etc. I just don't use that mode. The timer is a great feature as well.
