Combi All in One Activity Walker GT

I purchased this walker for my 6 month old daughter. She loves it!!! It is of decent quality...obviously, it is made out of plastic so I didn't have the expectation that the walker would feel like toys made out of solid wood. However, as compared to other walkers, such as the Jeep one, this walker felt much better and the seat is much softer. The wheels are small, so don't expect it to roll over a plush carpet. I think it's really meant for hardwood floors or berber carpet....it seems like common sense to me, as why would anyone expect it to roll over a plush carpet anyway? The walker bounces enough in my opinion to give the baby a little bit of a jump. Personally, I don't think you would want your baby to be able to jump any higher than what this one does because it is on wheels that don't lock and that would pose a safety hazard. Good design Combi! In terms of liking it, nobody can guarantee what your baby will like, so I would suggest that you go to Babies R US and try it out before you make the purchase. My baby loves it and she rolls all around the living room in it laughing the whole way. I would definitely recommend it...if the price is too high for you, the Jeep is not that bad of an option, but obviously, doesn't feel as good as this one.

We love this walker. It is very cute and well made. It has a lot of features that amuse our baby and keep her attention.

This car is soo adorable! My 6.5 mo old looks too cute in it.

Her ankles/feet were hitting the bar in the back. We took the whole bar off and the car is 100% stable. The front and sides of the base are all one piece, which makes it sturdy without the back piece. She can now walk in it with all the leg room she'll need. It worked for us to take the back piece off, but it is altering the design of the unit, so proceed with caution and use your best judgement.

My son loves his little Blue Combi. It is super wide so as my 6 and 4 year old push him around I'm not worried about his feet getting caught in the sides. (He is 6 months old).

*The seat is fairly easy to snap out and clean.

*My son can easily slap on the sound making buttons, and reach the spinning mirrors.

*The combi turns easily in any direction. For the most part my 6 month old can go backwards, and sideways.

*It looks nice in the house. People think it is adorable and comment on it.

Lamaze Early Development Toy, Marina the Mermaid

It was given to me as a present and my 4 months old absolutely LOVED it. But soon I started to notice plastic fibers thinner than hair coming out of it (the stuffing I guess). It was very disappointing since I had read that lamaze is one of the few companies that have high quality products, non toxic, PVC free, lead free, etc. They should care also about what is inside the toys or use an exterior fabric with smaller pores!

I received this as a gift from a friend and my infant liked it so much I chose to buy it for my niece as well. It is a good, durable toy that has many different facets that engage children. My daughter loves the shiny, crinkly mermaid tail, while my neice loves the mermaid's floppy hair. The clip allowed me to attach it to my daughter's carseat, and my sister attached her's to an umbrella stroller. When it gets dirty I just throw it in the wash. Great toy!

This is a great baby toy. My daughter loves the texture of the hair, which is strips of fabric. She also really loves the rattling star and the mirror tail. There is a crinkle patch too but I do wish it were bigger because she loves the crinkle sound on other Lamaze toys.

VTech - Touch and Learn Musical Bee

Both of my kids love this toy. My two year old got it for her first Christmas and my second child just discovered it and also loves it. I love that it has both the play and the sleep modes and that it is noise activated to help lull the kids back to sleep. I only have one complaint-it goes though all the quiet and soothing and just when your child relaxes it says "Bye-Bye" quite loudly. What's the point in being quiet and relaxing if it's just going to wake them back up for you? Other than that it is a wonderful toy.

I bought this bee after watching my three month old play with it at my sisters and immediately taking to it. She LOVES her bee and she quickly learned how to push the button in the middle. The bee plays music and has a voice of a little girl which mesmerizes my little one. It has a day and night mode. The night mode is great to calm my daughter down. She does a pretty good job of holding onto it in her bouncy chair. She loves to chew on her antenna and she quickly learned to reach for the bee. It is the first thing she ever reached for big milestone. I would definitely recommend this bee as a first toy.

My 5 month old is still too little to push the buttons or to really benefit from it educationally, but it is really helping with sleep training. We keep it switched to night mode in her crib at night and when she cries it automatically comes on and plays soothing music which really helps her fall back asleep. I was really concerned because after it plays a few minutes of soothing music it says "Bye-bye!" loudly before turning off! What a poor design! Thankfully it doesn't seem to bother her! It seems like it will be a nice educational/play toy as she gets older. It does interest her a bit at this age and she likes chewing on the wings or crinkling them with her hand.

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Light up & Go Turtle Soother

My son sleeps in a pack and play in our room. I really wanted to find something that he could manipulate and play with when he wakes at night like the Fisher-Price Rainforest Waterfall Peek-a-Boo Soother that our other son uses in his crib. It's been difficult to find things that will clip onto a pack and play, but I found this item at our local big baby store and bought it.

The Light & Go works by pressing the large turtle shell (really good for small hands). You press it once and it lights up, press it again and it plays music, press it again and it plays another song; 1. Brahms Lullably, 2. Hush, Little Baby, 3. Twinkle, Twinkle, and 4. Beautiful Dreamer... all played very slowly to help keep your baby calm and sleepy. On the side of the turtle is the on/off volume adjustment; two volumes loud and louder, wish they'd makes these things with a rolling volume adjustment so you can have a little more control over the sound. These soothers sound great during the day when there's other noise, but in the dead night of a quiet room, they are impossibly loud even at their lowest setting. That being said, you could place tape over the sound holes to make it quieter. The night light feature is actually pretty good, not glaringly bright, but soft yellow and soothing.

The clip on design is really a great idea! It uses a tension slider that pulls out from the turtle's side and clips onto the side of the pack and play. The only problem we encountered is our son sleeps using the bassinet attachment, so with the attachment the tension clip doesn't clip very well because it's too wide. He won't be sleeping in the bassinet much longer, which means we could use the clip, but then it will be too high for him to reach, and when he is able to stand and reach it he'll probably want to take it off and toss it (our first son was precocious that way). So I'm so-so on the clip design; would have been better if the slider came out a little further to be more adaptable.

The Light & Go Soother can sit on a table or clip to the pack and pay, not bad for using it as a travel item. All in all, I can't say I'm really crazy about this thing and will probably return it, mostly because it doesn't quiet meet my needs. I feel like it should have allowed baby to press the shell and turn it off, but as it is baby has to listen to it for 15 minutes before it shuts off. If baby has it on the light option (which they can only do if they press it once, otherwise it will only cycle through song selections) then the light will go off after 5 minutes.

I purchased this travel light for our holidays. We have a fisher price rain forest muscial mobile at home and my daughter falls asleep every night looking at the light.

I was concerned that she would struggle to fall alseep without the light while on holidays, however I discovered a few nights before our trip that the muscial function was probably more important than the light.

I had never previously used the music for sleeping, as I felt it was too loud. However, she seemed to really calm down with the music, even though I found it a bit tinny.

I had hoped to put the travel light in the cot with her, but it was too big. I instead placed it next to the travel cot and she could see the light through the cot fabric and found the music soothing (even if I didn't). Although I do think the light goes off a little too quickly though.

Anyway, all in all the product was a success and I am even using the music funtion now that we are home.

I have being using this for 3 weeks with ourGraco Travel Lite Crib with Bassinet, Ally and have been happy with it so far. We needed some type of soother for our preemie, who is up every 1-3 hrs around the clock, but most crib soother do not work on the pack and plays. I was excited to see this product, especially for the price.

The clip is a bit tight with the bassinet feature if placed on the long side of the pack and play wall, but I find it works perfectly if clipped to the short side of the bassinet liner.

The bassinet is within arms reach of our bed. I can push the light to check on our daughter without turning on the much brighter side table light to check on her and then turn on the music if needed. The music is soothing and she will often fall back asleep for another hour. Always a plus with a newborn!

The first push of the button gives light for 5 minutes, a second push turns on the music for 15 and a long 3rd push turns off the whole thing. The batteries it came with last us about 3 weeks. I have read on other site reviews that it does go through batteries fast, but don't most baby requiring devices!

This soother is fairly basic and may not entertain older babies, but for infants who you just want to go back to sleep I think it's great! I also like that is is easy to take on and off the bassinet and slide into the diaper bag for travel and visits.

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Car

I find the complaints on here a little hard to believe. I found the instructions, while lengthy, very simple to follow and easy to accomplish. This is a great product. I put the coupe together Christmas Eve, after about five cocktails, and it still only took me about twenty minutes. Some people just like to complain, I guess... and others are incapable of doing things for themselves.

My little girl (14 months) loves her coupe and was playing in it instantly. She quickly figured out how to get in the seat and start to play. The cutest thing is watching her open and close the doors herself and then draping her arm over the windowsill, just like a grownup.

If you are at all handy, do not be intimidated by the complainers... it is an easy job, well documented and quality constructed item.

I have put together a lot of toys for my daughter, including the Kidkraft Suite Elite Kitchen but nothing has never compared in terms of frustration level to the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe! It can be put together, but it is not fun... I've included some pointers in the video portion of the review.

Ok, so the assembly is a nightmare, but once it was assembled our daughter loves her cozy coupe. I mean she really loves it! She likes the little horn on the steering wheel and I like the removable floor. Our daughter is currently 15 months and she is still a little too small to propel herself... she tries but she usually starts to fall underneath the Cozy Coupe. However, we installed the floor she learned that she could sit back and enjoy the ride.

One thing that is worth mentioning is that once this thing is assembled it is pretty robust and seems to be well-built.

Pros-

+ A nice design for both boys and girls

+ The removable floor means that it grows with your child

+ Our daughter loves the little horn on the steering wheel

Cons-

We have all talked about the assembly here are a few of my tips

Use a rubber mallet instead of a hammer

Forget using a screwdriver you will need to either pre-drill the holes or use a decent cordless screwdriver (It needs some muscle)

If you can find videos (in addition to mine) watch them prior to assembly. Taking parts back off of the Cozy Coupe will make your nightmare that much worse.

Why can't they add a few words in the instructions... such as "This part is a sticker"

It would have been great if there was an optional handle I can push the Cozy Coupe but I must scrunch quite a bit

Unless you open the door it is a bit of a challenge to get into and out of... not that big of a deal, but our daughter has not mastered the door yet!

Final Verdict-The Cozy Coupe is a great toy if you are up to putting it together!

4 Stars ( minus 1 for assembly)

My parents bought this for my son, who admittedly does love it. But the thing is a nightmare to put together (especially the six red caps that go over the exposed metal rods). And has been pointed out, the instructions are worthless.

And no sooner did I get it together, one of the red caps broke, leaving an exposed metal rod that he could get hurt on.

So I went online and filled out the form to get a replacement of what has to be a thirty cent item. And although this is the 30TH ANNIVERSARY COUPE that only came out THIS YEAR, I was told I'd need to provide proof of purchase to show that it was purchased this year just to get a replacement for a badly designed part that is there to ensure safety.

I'm sorely tempted to return this car, and to avoid Little Tikes products until they improve their customer service.

Edit:

My parents insisted on keeping the car, and although we found the receipt & emailed it to them per their instructions to get a replacement part, they've yet to send it. My parents still like it, but from my perspective the quality is lacking & their customer service sucks.

We bought the Cozy Coupe for our grandaughters 2nd birthday. It arrived the day of her party so we didn't have time to put it together before giving it to her. No problem for Alivea....she got so excited when she saw the box....the adventure began! My son-inlaw was removing the pieces from the box and Alivea was already finding ways to play with them. After just a few minutes when the car was taking shape, Alivea was already setting in it. We had to remove her so her Dad could finish assembling the car with the help of his brother. The next morning, my daughter (Alivea's Mom) told me that Alivea had to eat her breakfast in the car. The Cozy Coupe is a great value for the money! Very easy to assemble, extremely durable and just loads of fun to ride in and go! We highly reccommend the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe.

We just received this adorable little car for our baby's 1st birthday. We were nervous to embark on putting it together after reading all of the horror stories. My husband and I are not the most handy but we really had a fairly easy time putting the car together. I STRONGLY recommend using the assembly video online instead of the paper instructions. I watched it once before we started and then watched/paused as we went along step by step. We only had a little trouble screwing on the roof--be sure to start the screws early as advised by a 'tip' in the video. Really helps to use a drill or electric screwdriver for this part. Another little tip from me: I took all the small parts and laid them out in the box they came in and used a sharpie to label the part's letter--made it easy to grab the one you needed as you go. Othwerise, our baby is LOVING his new car and we are very pleased with our purchase.

It works great and is indestructible, but make sure you like hearing "Three Blind Mice" because there is no "off" button and there is no volume button, so any time it gets put in the toy box or bumped or stepped on, you are stuck hearing whatever song it decides to play at the time. I got it for a car ride last Christmas for my 2-year old and my 3-year old. It entertained them for the car ride but they showed no interest in the toy since then. Probably a younger child would like it.

Infant Buzz Lightyear Costume

We ordered size 12M-18M. I can't really fault the costume itself. It's very cute and would be great if it fit better, but you really can't know about fit unless you order it and try it on. The only thing that doesn't make me LOVE the costume is that the material is not breathable at all. I will be praying for a cooler night on Halloween. My son is 18M (as of yesterday) and he's not big for his age... probably 50th percentile, and this costume BARELY fits him. It was a bit of a struggle to get his arms into the costume, so I'm praying that he doesn't grow for a couple weeks. The booties don't fit him at all. They are VERY small. Probably would fit shoe size 4. The costume also has snaps all the way from one ankle to the top. If you have a very wiggly toddler, as I do, it's very hard to get him to stay still long enough to close all the snaps. Can't seem to find this costume in 2T. They just go from 18M to 3T... what the heck?! Anyway, here's the sizing information on the package (that they should include on the web site!):

HEIGHT: 28"-32"

CHEST: 19"-20"

WAIST: 19"-20"

WEIGHT: 20-26 lbs

100% Polyester. Hand wash cold separately. Do not bleach. Line dry. Cool iron if necessary. Do not dry clean. Hood is detachable.

Hope this helps!

The giant penguin is also cute, but it attracts fuzz, dirt, and cat hair like you wouldn't believe. I try to hide Mr. Penguin because he always looks kind of gross and is a pain to clean.

Earlyears TAGGIES Go! Go! Car

Wow, being a fan of taggies products and an infant teacher I decided to order some more taggies products for the classroom since the elephant is such a big hit. I just received the car today and it is fantastic. The wheels crinkle, the spare tire on the back has a mirror, there are various textures on the vehicle and when you pull a tab at the back the whole car vibrates. I can't wait to see the babies in my class with the new go-go car.

This taggies toy is so cute. I purchased it as a gift for a baby I take care of. I'm very pleased with how well made it is and how soft it is. No danger of him toppling over and hurting himself on it. He will enjoy the taggies! Also, it is a perfect size, not too small and not too big. He is learning to crawl so will be a good one for him to go after. I definitely recommend it for babies.

Lamaze High-Contrast Flip-Flop Bug Rattle

I ordered this toy for my 2 mo old baby and I just loved it so much! I have two large Lamaze toys with a bunch of stuff hanging out of them and I think they are too much for a little baby to handle. This one is small, simple and suitable for tiny hands. More importantly it is a rattle! It is not loud just perfect! The dark-green sides can be used for teething and both have different patterns. The red wings crinkle and can be lifted up to find that under them there is the beetle's stripy belly:) Very cute!

Awe! It's adorable. I purchased this to be a baby shower gift from my daughter to her soon to be 1st cousin and am SO glad I did. My daughters nickname is "Bug", so I thought it would be perfect to find a bug baby toy. This was the only one that interested me on my search & wasn't over-priced. The patterns are so pretty & the crinkle sound is not weak like some crinkle toys are. It is definitly worth $6. I hope the baby will love it too.

He used to like looking at the lady bug side when he was a newborn and once he figured out how to grab things when he was around 3 months old, he liked to hold the bug and make the wings crinkle. Now he is 6 months old and he passes this bug from hand to hand, turning it over between passes...and this can go on for almost an hour. This bug is easy for him to hold and he likes to chew on the handles and the orange antennas. I would highly recommend this toy.

Lil' Giraffe Elite Collection Infant/Toddler Costume - Kid's Costumes

My 12 month old wore this for Halloween and she got a lot of compliments. It is made very well and kept her warm while we were outside. My only compliant is that the nose of the giraffe kept sliding down over her eyes and she kept holding up his snout so she could see better. You can see this in the picture of the product. Other than that, we loved it.

I was DYING for my daughter to be a giraffe for her first halloween, and I decided on this one. My daughter looked so cute and got a TON of compliments. My only complaints are that the snaps between the legs broke (at least 2 of them) so you could see her pants underneath, which was frustrating for pictures. And then the pants were way too short. They're more like shorts, which you can't tell in the picture. At least they were for my daughter, and I even ordered a larger size for her. :/

It is odd to rate the 'educational' value of this toy. It won't make your kid do calculus. But our baby started playing with this toy when he was about 12 weeks old. He was born 6 weeks premature, but because of his interest in this toy he developed two-handed play (an early developmental milestone) well ahead of time.

I could see that perhaps an older child might not find this engaging enough, but our son still enjoys playing with it and chewing on it now as a 7 month old.

PROS:

The slim flexible bands make this much easier for early grasping than many things sold as rattles, which are too fat for young, small, clumsy hands to grasp.

The rattle sound is not so loud as to be deafening or obnoxious

It can be refrigerated for teething. Again, the slim rings fit into his small mouth so much better than many of the large bulky teethers. He has a teether that he cant yet grasp and manipulate for himself because it is so bulky. Plus, the many loops mean that there are different things to chew on no matter which way he turns it, there isn't just one "right" way to hold it.

The loops also make it convenient to take with you. We hook one strap of our stroller brace through a loop and he can merrily play with it while we walk without fear that it will fall onto the ground. We receive lots of funny comments about how it looks like he is "driving" his stroller by grasping the ball like a steering wheel.

Fun, engaging and helpful for developing two-handed play. Probably most appropriate as a toy for babies 3-5 months and as a teether for older children.

We got this toy as a gift from our friends and our baby loves it. He is 3 months old and finds this toy really easy to grab. The rings are squishy and thin so there are many places to grab hold. He can put his entire hand through it and use his arm to get it to his mouth. It's also large enough for him to grab it with both hands easily. He'll also shake it. It's definitely his favorite toy and it keeps his attention.

I was really excited to get this toy for my daughter, because all the reviews were so positive. The toy got dirty so I washed it in some soapy water, this is when it bled green dye all over the wash cloth. If it's bleeding dye from a little soap, who knows how much dye my little one could ingest when she's chewing on it... Needless to say I threw it out.

I don't know about PVC or plastic coating or anything like that, but I CAN tell you that it is worth the price if you're planning on having more than one kid. We opened up our Winkel in Jan 2004 for our oldest son...our daughter used it throughout 05 and early 06...and our youngest son has had his hands and mouth on it for two months now. It hasn't cracked, faded, etc despite months...YEARS...of use! I get this toy for everyone having their first child as all three of mine have loved it.

I found out about this toy on a parenting forum where some mom wrote "I melted my son's Winkel!" after a few chuckles about the obvious "what that *could* have been referring to" I went and looked at the product itself and after hearing other parent comments about how much their little person enjoyed this I decided I would get one for our little boy too.

First of all: I guess you probably shouldn't put this toy in a sanitizer (like you would use to sanitize baby bottles) that's how the forum mom melted her son's toy. So put that on the top of the "don't do this" list.

This is plastic and it is made in China but purports to be PVC and phaelate free. When it arrived it was very clean. I washed it off with a little soap and water to be safe but I am not too concerned about him sticking it in his mouth.

I gave this to our son when he was ten weeks old. He was able to grab it and hold it and eventually started passing it from one hand to the other and holding it up, sticking it in his mouth, playing with it with his feet. I think it makes a good first toy. It's light enough and soft/flexible enough he can't really hurt himself with it.

It's also really cute and reminds geek daddy a little bit of an atom or molecule.
