Rainy Day Indoor 3 Piece Combo Kit

Rainy Day Indoor 3 Piece Combo Kit(Sorry if you are reading this review more than once. I think it is an important enough warning that I have taken the time to post it in each place where the swing is sold.)

Both of my children loved this swing. My daughter, five years old at the time, would swing rather high on it. One day she swung forward and leaned to the side. The swing came back and she literally split her head open on the door frame. She needed four internal stitches and eight external. It was a miserable 8 hours in the ER.

You may be surprised to hear that my bottom line is I think this product is awesome and worth buying. Swinging is great for kids, but be smart. Put a helmet on your child so if they do lean slightly to the side at the least helmet will take the brunt of it on the way forward or back.

We no longer allow our kids to use the swing just because we were a little traumatized by our earlier experience, but my daughter (now 6.5) takes real flying trapeze lessons (with safety ropes) and swings on our permanently attached doorway bar constantly to "practice", so we are going to allow them to use the trapeze attachment with a helmet, as well as simply swinging from the top bar (no feet allowed up there, though).

I would definitely rate this swing five stars if a helmet were recommended. They do say "no leaning" and we told her to sit straight in the swing, but when you are five and laughing and having a good time, you're not always focused on "sitting straight" so it makes sense to me to tell them to sit straight AND recommend a helmet.

I hope this review saves some other child a trip to the ER. Happy swinging!

This is the #1 played with toy everyday! Every child should have one! Best investment EVER! We first bought this when my son was 1 and at the time lived in a Condo with no yard and didn't have a play center. This was the perfect solution for bringing an outdoor activity inside! Easy installation, never even screwed anything in, it's just pressure mounted and believe me, my 185 lbs husband hung on it and it can hold him! We have the infant swing, the strap swing, the trapeze bar and the hammock I can swing in it with both my kids ages 2 and 4. Hammock is awesome for little babies, it rocks them to sleep and they are deep enough it cradles them. Love it so much bought another bar for my baby girl and can swing them both at the same time. Now, my 5yr old son swings on it everyday since he was 1. So even though it may seem pricey for a swing ask yourself, how many toys does your children play with the same toy for 4 over years? Probably till he's 9, I would say that's the best investment ever! I love it so much even took it on the plane to grandparents house for the other kiddos cause it snows there and everyone loves it too!

NOTE: They recently (maybe 1-2 years) had a safety upgrade on the infant swing, a simple bar and 2 O rings in front to prevent safety straps from shifting/ sliding which may result in positioning baby sideways also doubles as a toy bar to hang toys from. I wasn't aware of this and they gave me upgrade for free, so careful when buying somewhere else online and not direct from the company make sure you have this safety upgrade if not contact them They are a awesome company, personally spoke with one of the original inventors and he is a family man too and cares and treats his company like family, they were so nice, helpful and eager to please. Awesome product from awesome company.

My children got this for Christmas 2011, and love, love, love this thing. By far it was the best gift we had ever purchased. They were fighting for who got to swing next 2 months after we got it.

That was until the swing rope broke while my daughter was swinging. She fell to the ground hard and got hurt! Fortunately she didn't break anything, but got pretty bruised up.

Another issue I had is there are black stoppers on each side to keep the swing centered where it needs to be at. These are very flimsy, and one of my stoppers has already broke. I really don't understand why the company didn't make this much better.

I rate this product 5 stars for fun, but seeing the high risk of accident, either by them hitting the doorway, or the rope completely breaking, I would stay away from this product!

We bought this for my daughter's 5th birthday and she is completely in love with it. We've also had about a week of rain so it's gotten plenty of use already. She definitely favors the strap swing and she gets almost as much air/height as she does outside. The trapeze bar is really high and though she is 44 inches she can barely reach it so perhaps in another year it will work for her. I'm leaning towards purchasing a small tumbling mat to put underneath when she uses it.

I would definitely recommend supervision if multiple children are playing just to keep anyone from getting hurt but I highly recommend!

My 6yo daughter has ADHD, SPD and a few other issues that calm when she is in motion. Until now she could only get the best calming effect on the play ground. Now she can swing when she starts to feel stressed or overwhelmed. She has had this swing 3 days and just announced it is a "dream come true" I have to agree. I also find my stress levels in the evenings are getting lower :)

I also agree with the mom about the helmet if there is any doubt about a little one leaning to the side as we have had a couple of bumps due to the tight area, she is now wearing her bike helmet to soar and is singing which is music to this tired momma's ears.

No regrets on this purchase!

Little Tikes DiscoverSounds Workshop

Little Tikes DiscoverSounds WorkshopA hammer....a ball....kids delight. The tools are fun and the boy likes it. He also has a Fisher Price toy that is very similiar, which I think is a bigger hit overall...but for the price, this is a fun addition.

I bought them as a gift for a freinds one year old. He loves it. I'm not so sure I would have paid the full 30 dollor price, but for the sale price of twelve bucks it great.

Jr. Airline Pilot, size 6 to 12 Months,

Jr. Airline Pilot, size 6 to 12 Months,Our first grandchild, a boy, is due in a month. Our now-rotund daughter is married to an airline pilot, so my 80-something year old mother-in-law wanted to give them an airline pilot's outfit at the baby shower, and it was up to me to find it. I was a bit hesitant on this one, since it is listed as a "costume," remembering some less-than-comfortable Halloween costumes from earlier days, but this seems to be very nice quality and quite comfortable. Time will tell whether the young lad likes it as much as all the ladies at the baby shower did (they adored it) but I know my mother-in-law likes it, so that's always good I haven't always done good things in her eyes (I did steal her daughter away, after all).

Will make a great Halloween outfit. Needs a hat to go along with it. Price was very good. Helps to make this time special.

Playskool: Busy Chase 'N Crawl Duckies

Playskool: Busy Chase 'N Crawl DuckiesNot sure why the poor ducks got such bad reviews. My son loved them from the first time he saw this toy. We started using the ducks around 3 months. I would get on the floor with him during tummy time and roll the ducks towards him. He would light up and get excited as they came towards him. Then he started trying to grab and push them away. Then he started crawling after them so I would say the toy encourages movement and crawling.

The toy rolls very easily and makes a sound as the ducks spin around. It's pretty low-tech as there are no lights or music but it does make sounds and has different colors. My baby has pretty chubby paws so he was never able to get his hands stuck between the ducks. The toy seems to be well-made as it's been banged around but shows no signs of damage. Overall, I would recommend this toy.

This item has not received hot reviews. BUT it does promote crawling. My little guy LOVES to spin the duckies and has started to go try and go after it. He is not yet crawling (almost 8 months) but this has gotten him heading in the right direction. The face plates on each side turn and make a cranking noise which he loves to hear. I would definitely recommend this product!

Buy Playskool: Busy Chase 'N Crawl Duckies Now

We got this for our twins as a gift. It is completely useless really. My one son likes to make the duckies spin around but he's bored even with that now. The one side that is purple has an indent for a finger? Like maybe you can wind it up or something but you can't. Really? Is the baby going to know to stick his finger there and spin it because it takes a good deal of force to actually do it. The peek a boo ducky on the other side is a joke. Look! It has eyes.... It has no eyes....woh! Really dumb. The baby really can't do this one either. My twins are 8 months old, we have had this for 4 months and really it is collecting dust. Try something else.

I would never pay $14 for this toy. I picked mine up for $0.50 at a yardsale. That said, I do like this toy. My daughter hates tummy time and will scream if you put her down on her belly. She loved spinning the ducks and actually stayed on her tummy for a good 15 minutes! Some of the reviews about getting hands stuck in it are a bit worrisome, I can see it happening. I'll have to keep an eye on how she plays with it, but anything that keeps her focused during tummy time is a win.

Cocalo Toy Box

Cocalo Toy Box, JancanaMy mom wanted to buy a toy box for my little girl. After extensive research I couldn't find any other toy box to match the Daniella set in color combination or the wood of her bedroom set. Since I have pretty much the entire Daniella set, I decided to get her this to match. It does match well and was easy to put together. My only concern is I didn't pay much attention to the dimensions. It is small. Not what I expected for toys. With the size of her toys, not many will fit inside. I am probably going to use it as a blanket chest and put her stuffed toys in it.

came in from factory all chipped. the phone number in the directions is no valid. horrible. don't buy. could have been a cute product

Buy Cocalo Toy Box Now

I was very disappointed in this toy box. I bought this for my niece's first birthday and her party theme was pink turtles so I thought it would be perfect. When I received the toy box i was disappointed to find there were numerous scratches and imperfections throughout the whole thing. I would have expected with paying so much for the toy box it would have been a higher quality.

Excellent toy chest. You don't have to worry about your children getting their fingers caught. It's has that child closure on it. Great addition to a room. Bright and cheery. You child will love it.

Want Cocalo Toy Box Discount?

The toy-box is much bigger then I had expected, which is good because my daughter has a lot of toys. Putting it together was pretty easy but the screws and hardware that it comes with are kind of cheap and flimsy; while screwing in one of the inside hinges, the head of the screw just snapped off! Also the lid of it is kind of heavy and the supports just slow it from slamming on fingers, it doesn't actually hold it open... which makes it a bit of a pain to fill it up, and I'm sure, in the future, my little one won't appreciate that as she is looking for a specific toy. But besides those minor things it seems to be pretty decent quality, and it does go beautifully with the rest of the set.

The First Years Shake and Jingle Keys

The First Years Shake and Jingle KeysThese are great keys with some wonderful sound effects... i love the size (a bit bigger than some teething toys but not too big to shove in a diaper bag...

downfall: non-replaceable batteries... and the motion activation can set off easily (like when you walk on the floor at night--the pressure of footsteps make them go off).

Our 6 month old loves these keys. The toy is entirely plastic and sealed up for safety. My boy chews on the keys, the buttons, the rings, whatever he can get into his mouth. The buttons make sounds, saying things like "beep, beep" and "woohoo!". You can also *easily* turn on and off a function that makes a key shaking sound every time the keys move. This is tons of fun for our boy, and is easy to turn off at night or when he's done playing. These are a great find for our little guy we love them!

Got this for our baby girl. I gave this item 4 stars as the remote has a sound chip which means you should probably not submerge in water or put into a sanitizer.

These got great reviews, but my experience was disappointing. There was no way to turn them off (despite instructions to the contrary), which got loud and annoying really quickly. And of course, if you can't turn them off, then they will run out of juice very quickly, which they did. There was no way to change the batteries, so after 1 month, they were essentially useless.

Our baby loved playing with these for months and months when she was little, maybe in the 5-12 month range. She is 16 months now and so is on to other things, but still plays with these when being pushed around in her stroller. They are not as realistic as other key sets, but not as annoying either!

Baby Einstein Music and Rattle Saxophone

Baby Einstein Music and Rattle SaxophoneThis toy is a fun toy because like others said it keeps baby's attention, but Baby Einstein also makes the "Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes" which is basically a better version of the toy above. The one above has what look like lights but are actually painted in circles, whereas the Take Along Tunes have actual lights that light up to the music. Also the music on the one above is pretty short, lasting maybe about 10 seconds where the Take Along Tunes have a better quality audio and last 30-45 seconds..

My six-month old enjoys playing with this.

Pro's:

Rattle+Music: It's nice that it has both the rattle and the music-the rattle will keep babies entertained even when they're not able to turn the music on themselves.

Nice Music: This has nice quality music that isn't too annoying for parents to listen to over and over again. It plays 4 classic tunes when the yellow caterpillar button is pushed.

Easy to Hold: This was easy for my son to pick up and hold on his own.

Fun Mirror and Beads: The end of the saxophone where the rattle is has a mirror on it and is covered in clear plastic so you can see the colorful beads rattling around. This is fun for babies to look at.

Con's:

Only One Button Works: The only button that does anything is the yellow caterpillar button. I wish that all of the buttons worked.

Colorful Button's Only on One Side: The colorful buttons are only on one side of this. The other side is just plain white plastic with indentations where the buttons would be. I wish it had the buttons on both side.

I ended up have to ditch this one because he kept knocking himself in the head with it, but the toy works as advertised. Only the yellow button works though, and as another post said, the side not shown only has white indents where the coloring should be.

Sassy Baby's Bucket of Beads Scented

Sassy Baby's Bucket of Beads ScentedI bought this for my infant for Christmas. I have had no problems snapping the beads together or taking them apart again. My daughter loves to play with them, mostly just chewing on them. She loves the container too. I take the top off and set it in front of her and let her get the beads out herself. She loves to play with the lid too, shaking it so that the handle clacks against the lid. My older daughter puts the beads together for her to play with. Overall, I think it was a good investment and she'll get years of use out of the toy.

I specifically wanted the beads show in the photo. My son loved them at his physical therapists office. I've had other pop beads, but really wanted the shape, texture, and color of the ones I ordered. Too bad the ones I got were completely different! And there was no invoice or receipt whatsoever in the package so I couldn't easily return them.

It makes a circle my daughter can't connect them yet since it is hard to do but my age four son can do it. Toddler love to drag beads and disconnect them also likes to wear it on them when it is a big circle. It is a activity to do with your toddler. (mommy + baby).

Caillou Wind up Bathtime Vehicles

Caillou Wind up Bathtime VehiclesMy son loves Caillou and Gilbert. I bought this for him at Toys R Us, where it is much cheaper!!! My 3 year old and 1 year old both enjoy playing with this in the bathtub. Caillou and Gilbert both separate at the head, and you can switch their heads to make silly characters. It is easy for both of my kids to attach/separate them. They also snap onto the boat. The motor under the boat only works if you have the bathtub very full. I generally only fill the bathtub up with 6 inches of water, and the motor doesn't move the boat very well. I would guess it would work better in a pool or bathtub filled up much higher. We just play with the boat and characters, and leave the motor out of the tub. Overall, both of my sons enjoy this toy.

Under The Nile Bumble Bee Ring

Under The Nile Bumble Bee RingI got this teething ring for my baby girl a month ago when she was 3 and 1/2 months old. Her ability to grab and hold on to this toy has vastly improved over the past few weeks. It's design makes it easy for her to grab with both hands. It's such a joy to see her little face light up when I hand her the bumble bee! She loves it!!! It's cotton and washable and gentle on her gums. I would highly recommend this toy.

I like this toy and am thrilled to offer my baby something safe to put in her mouth the only problem is that she has no interest in putting it her mouth!! So we are taking cotton wash clothes wetting them and then freezing them. She absolutely loves to chew on that!! Go figure. But she does like to play with it especially the little strings attached to the head.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Storybook Rhymes

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Storybook RhymesI *almost* didn't buy this toy because of the reviewer who said that the pages were cardstock. They are stickers on a hard plastic page, NOT cardstock!!! Huge difference, especially with a 6 month old who likes to eat everything. I just got it yesterday and so far, it's a hit!

Lately I'm not impressed with Fisher Price. The last several toys of theirs have left me disappointed. They WERE the toy company I grew up with in the 80's but they no longer hold the market and there are better items available.

What the descipt doesn't tell you is that the illustrated pages on this are CARDSTOCK glued to the durable plastic "pages". Cardstock. That's not very baby friendly.

Vtech on the other hand has a nursery rhymes book (same concept, plastic musical light up pages) but their books illustrations were printed on high gloss stickers thus they are easy to wipe off and the pages don't run the risk of being torn, etc.

Great idea but done better by others.

Chicco Fun Travel Car Safari Toy

Chicco Fun Travel Car Safari ToyI got this for my son who was 16 months at the time. He liked it for about 5 minutes. First, it takes a bit of time to get the hang of how to push the buttons on the "remote" to make the lights and music work (it was hard for adults to do much less toddlers). When my son figured it out, he enjoyed playing with it for about 2 car trips. Now, he tosses the remote on the floor when I give it to him. He seems to be occasionally briefly entertained by the lullaby mode. I would say it is a better toy for younger children, but the difficulty in working the remote leads me to wonder that younger toddlers would not be able to get the interactive mode to work.

He loves this, whether it is playing the music softly, or he is pushing the buttons and listening to the sounds, he really enjoys it.

I bought this for my 14 month old daughter in hopes she would enjoy it to and from day care. She was not that interested. The buttons are hard to push on the plush remote and when you hit the monkey, the horn will sound on the truck or what you're trying to press won't sound at all. The idea of the toy is too simplistic for 12 month and above. The durability of the toy is good. The shipping was fast and the packaging was great. Just not over all wowed by the toy itself.

Fisher-Price Stack 'n Surprise Blocks Blockity-Pop Caterpillar

Fisher-Price Stack 'n Surprise Blocks Blockity-Pop CaterpillarMy 5 mo. old daughter received this as a Christmas gift, so I didn't know until I looked at it on Amazon that this product was described as having the caterpillar being able to move it's head, or with the pegs moving up and down. This toy does neither, but as I didn't know it was supposed to do this, I wasn't upset about it. (If I had bought this toy based off the description, I would be really annoyed.)

That being said, this is, hands down, my daughters favorite toy right now. She LOVES the pop up blocks, and when she's not playing with them she's pushing the caterpillar around on the floor or chewing on the caterpillars antennas. I plan on purchasing a few more types of these toys for her since she gets so much enjoyment out of them.

Just as a note, every kid is different; so maybe yours will love this toy, or maybe they won't but it's a decent price for a toy, it's brightly colored and very durable, so I'd recommend at least trying it out. Just be forewarned that the caterpillar head is stationary (at least mine is, and from some of the other reviews on here, it looks like it's not just my toy) and the pegs don't move on their own.

My 15-month-old received this as a Christmas gift from his wish list, and while it's cute, it does not work as described in the description. The head does not move back and forth and is completely stationary. Also, the blocks do not move up and down on the caterpillar's back as described. We have the big Silly Town set, so the additional blocks are nice as we can use them with both this toy and Silly Town, and it does roll, stiffly. The "Boing" noise is not so much a boing as it is a quiet, springy sound.

It's an OK toy, if a little boring (he much prefers the little car that came with Silly Town for a rolling toy with these blocks). For the money, though, it's pretty basic. My son doesn't know any better, but I am disappointed that it doesn't work as described.

My kids have the Silly Town set that goes with this and love that, which is why I thought this might make a pretty decent Christmas gift. I was wrong though because this toy is really boring. It is cute but that is it. The blocks don't stack on it well and fall as soon as you atempt to roll it. If you have the Silly Town, I would just stick with that. This doesn't contribute anything accept for two extra blocks. I thought they would move up and down as you roll it, and they don't even do that. If you want them to move, you have to sit and push them up and down yourself.

Fisher-Price Corn Popper

Fisher-Price Corn PopperThis is the same one from years ago, maybe the balls were wood then, I don't know. This thing has taken a beating and still held up. I'd say the age range for this toy is pretty small, it gets boring to older kids after a while. I would say from walking age to about 2 1/2.

I was happy to see this old favorite is still out there. I bought this for my granddaughter when she was a year old and she was afraid of the popping sound, but now she's 20 months old and loves it. She pretends it's a vacuum cleaner or a lawn mower. The popping is noisy and can be irritating to some, so put it away when you want quiet time.

the quality is not top notch but, lets face my 2 yr old is like Bam Bam so its facing imminent destruction anyway!! so it very good for what it is and he loves it!!! another thing that was great is it comes fully assembled. bottom line is if your looking for a entertaining toy but on a tight budget this will fit the bill.

The talked characters sound a little spooky. My daughter presses the button and then looks to me for reassurance that it's ok because it's not soft spoken baby friendly sounds but it is a perfect size for a 12mo old.

The ride on is nicely built, has a lot of shapes, colors, voices, stickers. But almost all the stickers are creased, wrinkled, bubbling at crease, and crooked. Whoever put the stickers on didn't do a quality job. The yellow triangle in the front doesn't work when you press the button. If the stickers were put on properly and the yellow triangle worked, this would get 5 stars.

Her parents may choose to wait a few months to give it to her since it is recommended for 12+ mo. I liked this doll because it has brown eyes, which my granddaughter has as well. I like it even better that it is machine washable. Well loved baby dolls get SO dirty! The size of this doll is perfect for a young child. Big enough to handle and small enough that she should fit into the diaper bag when mom has to tote it. The body of the doll is soft, while the head, feet, and hands are plastic. One more big plus, for me, is the box she arrives in will be easy to wrap, something I don't always find with children's toys.

My 11 year old daughter got this today and loves it. It comes with:-

1 long sleeved jumpsuit

1 headband

1 pink baby bottle

We love this doll, and she named her 'Bessie Rose' and is planing on saving up for one of the collector ones, the one thats got the strawberry bib is at the top of her list. She has 3 18-20 inch dolls, an Australian Girl Doll 'Matilda Jayne', Journey Girl Doll 'Meredith Skye' and an American Girl Doll MAG#39 'Mackenzie Indiana' and loves how she can be a little sister for them. Overall I rate this product a 11/10.

The doll is very pretty. However, it's very small. I wasn't paying attention to the size when ordering or I wouldn't have purchased it. Definitely not for a 2 year old.

Darling baby doll that smells as nice as she looks and feels. My 18 mo old loves to carry her around, give her hugs and kisses and push her in a stroller. Best investment.

K's Kids The Hungry Pelican

K's Kids The Hungry PelicanOur Hungry Pelican is now on child number three and shows no signs of wear despite being a favorite crib toy for many years.

The bright yellow velour pelican ties onto the crib railing. His fat cheeks squeak, his wings crinkle, and his feet rattle. He comes with four sea creatures (crab, shrimp, fish, and octopus) that are each different textures and colors, and make different sounds (rattle, rustle, etc.). Children can put the little animals into pelican's mouth and watch them drop down into his tummy. The large circular tummy opening allows for easy removal of the animals so play can begin all over again.

I found that babies enjoy quietly investigating the sounds, colors, and textures of the four little sea creatures. Toddlers progress to the eating game.

I am grateful to Mr. Pelican for allowing me an extra half hour of sleep every morning. What can be better than that!

Well, I loved this thing. However, we have only had it a few weeks and the squeak is already broken or not working in one of the cheeks of the pelican. I emailed K Kids, but haven't heard from them. I'd exchange it via Amazon but it's not worth the postage unless Amazon will exchange free of charge b/c of it being defective. It was not a cheap toy.

The Hungry Pelican is ok. I gave it as a gift to my niece for her 1st Bday and she has fun with it, but... only when the Pelican is outside the cradle. We need to tie the Pelican outside the cradle so she will play with it.

She got the notion quickly of feeding the Pelican. She stuffed all the small animals, but only once every time! I think she's a smart girl thinking once the animals are inside of the Pelican's tummy, well, he's already fed.

She does, however, play with the small stuffed animals and carries them all around the house.

Our son received the Hungry Pelican when he was 8 months old. We tied it into his crib right away. It took him a couple weeks to notice it but it soon became the favorite toy. He will play quietly in his crib in the mornings (giving me time to get ready for work!), taking the creatures out of the belly and playing with them. I am not sure he knows how to feed it just yet but that will come... I've found pacifiers and other items in the belly too and the little creatures all over the room. In terms of giving Mom and Dad a couple more minutes of quiet, this has been a lifesaver! (and the little shrimp cracks me up!)

We love this toy it has lasted two kids and still in perfect condition. The pelican's belly doubles as a pacifier holder our daughter knows where to go looking for them when it's naptime and she puts them away there too when it's time to wake up. I've also noticed that both our kids for some odd reason liked to snuggle underneath the pelican's fuzzy feet while they are sleeping (it just barely touches their foreheads when lying down) at first we used to move them because it seemed uncomfortable but they just go back they really seem to like it. It makes some crinkly and some (quiet) squeeking sounds more subtle than many toys these days. A perfect crib toy.
