Levels Of Discovery Stack Buddies Storage Unit Multi-Color

Levels Of Discovery Stack Buddies Storage Unit Multi-ColorThis looks smaller than the toy boxes but it's definetly better to get rid of the clutter and help your little one find his toys. You can categorize the toys and find them easier later. They get lost in toy chests, especially the little toys. My daughter's room is pretty small and I use it as a guest room too, I stacked them up when I need to open the sofa bed. It's also very good quality construction and stain. Very durable to every kind of toddler abuse!

I don't really think this is worth the $80 I spent on it. It chips and dents easily and the feet fall off the front exposing sharp pins. It is difficult to put the feet back on the front of the boxes without them coming loose again so I now leave them off so my kids don't poke themselves. It looks odd without the feet on the lion but it will have to look that way for safety reasons. If it was half the price I wouldn't recommend it either. It is cute to look at but that's about it. It doesn't hold much (we have little people cars in it and not much else.) It was cute for a short time, but not practical and not worth the price tag placed on it.

Skip Hop Stroller Bar Activity Toy, Alphabet Zoo

Skip Hop Stroller Bar Activity Toy, Alphabet ZooFits perfectly on the stroller bar for the Uppababy Vista and provides plenty of entertainment for my little guy. The center toy is detachable, so it can be handled and brought to mouth as they get older and want to manipulate the toys more. The other two are attached, so they dont get lost. The ear makes that great crinkly sound that babies seem to love so much and encourages a lot of tactile manipulation. The mirror is a great addition as well as babies never seem to tire from looking at themselves ;) A great toy bar without all the blinking lights or obnoxious music. Just simple play and a gorgeous design. And it matches beautifully with other Skip Hop items as well.

Sevi Wooden Drum

Sevi Wooden DrumWe bought this drum for our little boy who is obsessed with Imagination Movers, and it was perfect for a few days...then the drum tore. I really don't blame the company for this fault. It was more an issue of our son banging way too hard on the drum. However, the drum has two sides, so he has simply turned it over and it's working just fine for him. He's happy so ultimately so are we.

I was very pleased when I received this product very well made, high quality. I'm a little more comfortable with the price I paid after seeing it!

I thought I wrote a review before. Maybe they erased it! This drum showed up fully wrapped and boxed but the metal was rusty and one of the screw caps was off making it sharp. I returned the drum and will buy another brand.

In Character Costumes, LLC Girls 2-6X Little Red Riding Hood Dress Set

Little Red Riding Hood Costume Size: X-SmallI am very impressed with this costume. It came in a nice hanging bag and is good quality! Most costumes these days are made so cheap but this one will last :) it's so cute!! I ordered the size 8 for my daughter who is a size 6/7 and it zips up just right..so it seems the sizing on this runs small.

I am so pleased with this costume! It was better than I had imagined! I love the fact that is made with a heavy material that will not only survive Halloween, but many dress up days in the future.

My daughter loved this costume! Only thing that was annoying was that the cape just snapped around the neck. It continually rode up on her through out the night. So I would recommend pinning it to the costume. Overall I was super satisfied!

Fisher-Price Growing Baby Tiger Stacker

Fisher-Price Growing Baby Tiger StackerI bought this for my sons first birthday. After looking around a bit in stores I wasn't happy with how the other toys similar to this looked and how they were cheaply put together. I'm glad I found this! It's so cute! Both for boys and girls and I love how well built it is. The parts to this make a rattling sound and my son loves to shake them all around the house. He doesn't exactly have the motor skills to put them on the toy yet but he will get there I'm sure. Would totally recommended this toy to any mom looking for a nice toy for a nice price. I'm going to be buying this toy for the babies I have to buy for this Christmas.

My son has loved this toy from about 5 months to 10 months. It was his favorite for a long time, at an age when few toys held his interest for long. He's happy just playing with any one of the rings. Each ring has different size beads so they make different sounds when he shakes them. He loves to hold them, shake them, put them in his mouth, knock the stacker over so they fall off, and at about 9 months he was able to stack them on the base. I like to put the rings on his feet and shake them for him, which makes him laugh.

It's kind of annoying that the base is not flat, so it lolls around. And, as a previous reviewer stated, it's annoying that you can't grab it by the top. However, those are tiny things when you take into account that it's not a boring basic stacker.

I like this product, but the plastic is so hard. Doesn't seem to bother my son. He loves playing with it in his crib.

Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Growing Baby Tiger Stacker Here

My son's only 5 months old and he LOVES this toy! We put him on the ground for tummy time and he'll pull the blanket towards him or squirm towards it. He knocks it over, takes the rings off and bangs them against the ground. He really likes the rattles in the pieces and it's nice that they're all different pitches. Not quite being used for its intended purpose yet, but my son still enjoys it. I can definitely see how it helps with dexterity and hand eye coordination.

Want Fisher-Price Growing Baby Tiger Stacker Discount?

This is a very cute toy, but my complaint is that the rings take up the entire column. Therefore, there is no way to grip the toy from the top. You have to hold the entire toy in both hands to carry, move, or lift it. Babies and toddlers can't do this. Had I realized this, I would not have bought it.

Organic Mommy & Baby Wash Mitts

Organic Mommy & Baby Wash Mitts: FrogsI love that these frog wash mitts are organic cotton and they are very cute. My daughter is still a little young to play with the small wash mitt in the bathtub (she is only 5 months old) but I do use the big wash mitt to wash her. I've seen other organic cotton wash mitts and I think these mitts are priced fairly in comparison. Also the tag says they were made in Sri Lanka, I prefer American made products. My frogs look exactly as pictured but I did order them last year so maybe they changed their product and didn't update the picture. (Another reviewer mentioned they did not receive what was pictured)

I ordered these adorable fog bath mitts for my daughter and received a "Rich Frog" product that looks totally different than the picture. Hate having to spend the time to return stuff!

Shape Sorter Bench

Shape Sorter BenchI bought this for my niece for xmas. I was going to buy a Melissa and Doug version, but the Canadian recalls changed my mind. I am glad I got this. It is very small. She LOVES playing with it. It is unfinished wood, so no worries about toxin exposure. I would suggest it for anyone wanting to keep chemicals away from our little ones and to support USA businesses!

We have had this on our Baby Registry for a while and could not wait to get it! We purchased it for our 5 month old as a gift and love it! Quality Made in USA...well built. Shape Sorter comes with 3 blocks for each shape, not just one for each shape! It comes with a bag to hold the shapes! We ordered from Lake Bluff Traders because they try to sell Made in America products, they have fast shipping and great customer service!

I love this and my both of my daughters love this. It's a win-win! It is small, beautiful and perfect. Worth every penny! I've been trying to slowly fade out plastic toys in our home for health and eco-friendly reasons. I also love that this is made in the USA.

Want Shape Sorter Bench Discount?

I was looking for a shape sorter for my 9 month old son and decided on this one over the Plan Toys and Wonderworld ones because I liked the simplicity of it (no colors and the names of the shape on it) and it comes with more than block per shape. I was really excited, until I opened the package. It is really small, I was surprised nobody had mentioned this in their reviews, I didn't check the dimensions (my fault). I will let my baby play with it because the quality is really great and see how he likes it. However the size makes it better suitable for kids over 1 (or even 1.5). So excellent shape sorter, just not a great first one.

Jeep Playful Pal Backpack Harness with Removable Plush Dog

Jeep Playful Pal Backpack Harness with Removable Plush DogI bought the Playful Pal Backpack Harness with Removeable Plush Dog for my child and no where on the website tells me that it'll fit a child age 3 to 5 years. The CLIP on the front is NOT the same one that the pictures shows on their package. It is a cheap Made in China piece that does not fully engage the clip to ensure that child's safety. If you child runs, it can unclip and bam you just holding the harness and your child is still running away. Don't buy this!!! At least not until the clip is replace with a better one.

I bought this for my 1 year old daughter for when we go to Disneyland and other public places so she can walk around. When it came I was so excited to try it on her. I was very disappointed to find how cheap the buckle part is. It was very easy for my daughter to unsnap it and break free. It's made of very cheap plastic. On top of that, one of the straps was totally ripped apart so it only went over one shoulder. I am very sad and disappointed as I was looking forward to this product. The only positive is that the material is very soft and the puppy is cute. But the product as a whole defeats the purpose if the buckle won't stay snapped.

We took back back on airplane and to Disneyland. It was perfect size for treats, diaper, wipes. We bought one for our 18 month old and one for our 2.5 year old perfect for both ages. Leash was great in the airport. Backpack was very soft the 18 month old used it as a pillow.

I was looking at many of these and I am incredibly pleased that I chose this one! Thanks Amazon for another GREAT product!

Whoozit Photo Album

Whoozit Photo AlbumThe pictures won't last long, but this is a great way to introduce your child to their family and themselves. We (my husband and I) used this album for pictures of our 18 month old's grandparents and aunts and uncles that our son didn't get to see daily.

After just a few days, he was asking after his Unca Shawn and Wammy (Grammy). Now, at 3 1/2 years old, my son still uses his album to display holiday pictures and postcards from his uncle who lives in Hawaii and his grandpa who travels the world. We use copies of pictures because we know they will take a beating, but the soft fabric book feels much nicer than a cheap photo album and he loves to show it off to friends and family when they come to visit just like Mama with her scrapbooks.

I got this for my 16 month grandson for Christmas. Since we only get to see him once a month I wanted him to know us from sight and I feel this album really has helped him. He points to the pictures and knows who the pictures are of (we filled in the album of us, his grandparents, and pictures we took with him). The album is durable, easy to turn pages for his small hands, and easy for him to carry around. We don't worry about him when he chews on it or tosses it around.

My baby girl is definitely stimulated by the photo book, but it seems that the toys that I have bought from Manhattan Toy, including the photo book, are poor in quality and not very sturdy. I would try and different photo book next time.

I bought one of these albums for my first granddaughter, and felt that my second should have one as well. We lived in another state at the time of the first purchase, so I was concerned that she know her extended family. Even though the family lives nearby now, it's fun to have pictures of people you know in a book. Both girls love to look at the pictures. This particular album is a good quality cloth, the pictures are secure in the book, and babies love to chew and play with the attached rings.

I filled this album with family pictures my 13 month old granddaughter adores it. It is one of the first things she pulls out of her toy box when she visits. The crinkly pages in between the pictures also keep her interested. Covered in bright colors and designs, it is very attractive.

Redmon Fun and Fitness Exercise Equipment for Kids

Redmon Fun and Fitness Exercise Equipment for Kids - Weight Bench SetOur 3 year old demonstrating the treadmill. Then our other child takes his turn. We recently purchased this after buying a new treadmill for us in hopes of keeping her entertained while we worked out. She has spent more time with this thing in one day than any other "toy" we have ever bought. The current "1 star" is correct, the treadmill smells horrible, like a mixture of new rubber and a railroad track (anyone who has ever walked a railroad track will know what that smell is). However, since putting it together, it has dissipated a bit.

The treadmill is very sturdy and it took very little time for our daughter to get the hang of it. Heck, even the 1 year old figured out how to get a few steps in and he has been walking for less than 2 weeks.

I work with preschool children with special needs and bought this to meet the needs of a student who likes to run. From the first day, all of my students wanted to get on it and check it out. It has been wonderful for not only the students I originally bought it for, but I have a number of students who request it on a regular basis to help calm their bodies. This was so much better than I could ever have imagined and the quality is outstanding.

I bought this for my nephew(he is almost 4) for Christmas. He likes to try and workout with me, so I thought he would like this. It was the first thing he ran to Christmas morning. I agree with the review on using this for children 5 years or younger(maybe 6).

Read Best Reviews of Redmon Fun and Fitness Exercise Equipment for Kids Here

This is a great little manual treadmill for kids (of appropriate age)! It is solidly made of metal, and I've been very impressed. I had one little "glitch" and that was that one of the only plastic pieces broke (the belt adjuster) but I was able to fix that by running to the hardware store and getting a washer to hold the tension screw... so far, so good... and I placed the plastic cap back on, so it looks like nothing ever happened.

As far as other reviewers with the smell... I believe that is just ridiculous. *Of course* there is a smell at first, it would be silly of anyone to expect it not to! It has metal gears and and belt that moves, it HAS to have a lubricant put on the internal gears, or it would rust and fall apart (since it is made of SOLID metal gears and welded metal tubes!). It would be useful to adults considering purchasing this to use some common sense, if your family can't tolerate smells for a few days, put it in the garage or a room with open windows. We put it in the garage for about 3 days and completely got rid of any odors for us before we brought it inside... but it was definitely the smell of gear lubricant (if you've ever smelled it, you know EXACTLY what it is --no mystery here).

As for some reviewers stating that it's not safe, I'd have to say their child must have been too young (be it physically or mentally). All children progress at their own pace, but I can say this, I own an adult treadmill, and my child was constantly trying to walk/run on it... to the point that he would get on and manually "make" it run, (yes, he is that strong, lol!) even though it was unplugged. Now that is unsafe, and this little treadmill fixed that problem completely.

Now he knows he has his own treadmill, I explained to him that I weight too much to walk on his, and he doesn't weigh enough to walk on mine --and he completely understood. ;) It's working out great, and WE are working out together!!! It's awesome to look over and see your little boy walking with you!

Mary Meyer Sweet Rascals, Osgood Owl, 9"

Mary Meyer Sweet Rascals, Osgood Owl, 9'Of all of his stuffed toys, including sesame street, animals, etc., this is the one my 12 month old Grandson selected on his own to be his best buddie and sleeping friend for 8 months now. It is the perfect size for him to wrap arm around and carry around. Very durable and does not shed. Grandson will not go to sleep peacefully without him. He loved the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star YouTube video, so I purchased Owlie and a Mario Brothers Star while back. This is my second Owlie as backup!!

Six months later, this is still my four-year-old's favorite toy which goes to bed with him each night. It has been through the washing machine no problem and is still very sturdy.

Official Valve Portal Weighted Companion Cube Plush

Official Valve Portal Weighted Companion Cube PlushTBH, I wanted nothing more than to buy this Portal-themed plushie and love the ever-loving heck out of it... But before you purchase one just out of pure squee-inducing delight, there are some minor construction issues you may want to be aware of.

Note: The following information is not sanctioned by the Enrichment Center. (It is also based on the model I received.)

Issue #1: Not really that plush.

Considering the variety of soft, plushy materials out there... the makers of this cube do not use them. The outer fabric is polyester fiber, and reminds me of a well-loved blanket that has gone through the wash too many times. The material is sort of felt-like, and borderlines on abrasive. It's still quite squeezable (and makes a good pillow in a pinch!), but I would love this cube so much harder if it was just a wee bit softer on the face.

Issue #2: Other scratchy parts.

The 'tabs' supporting each side of the face (those little gray rectangles in the picture) have scratchy edges, reminiscent of velcro. But they don't really serve a purpose. They are a design decision that detracts from the overall product. Did I mention they're scratchy?

Issue #3: Asymmetry (at least on mine).

This bothers my OCD side. The 'top' and 'bottom' faces don't match up. If the top heart faces north-south, the bottom heart faces west-east... All the other hearts at least face the same direction...

THAT BEING SAID. I love my Companion Cube. I will not tolerate friends who try to mock-euthanize it either. But know what you're getting before-hand. This toy is for adult fans of Portal, not for the infants of adult fans of Portal. Now excuse me while I go cuddle with my cube.

but don't pay more than $30 for it! search around & you'll find it for the MSRP price of $29.99... seriously!

and i'm so happy you can get a weighted companion cube that you're actually allowed to grow close to!

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.

Want Fisher-Price Stack 'n Surprise Blocks Blockity-Pop Caterpillar Discount?

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.
