Disney Baby Winnie the Pooh Baby Rattle (Styles May Vary)

I was dissapointed with this rattle, it doesn't make much noise and is very poor quality. I bought this for my grandaughter, because she has a Winnie the Pooh theme and I look for everything with the Pooh. The only thing good about this one is that it has a picture of Winnie the Pooh, otherwise not worth it.

Gund Lion Booties 3" Infant Accessory

The lion slippers were very cute, but too large. States size is 0-6 months... but from my perspective, looks like they will fit a toddler better. I set these booties next the ones by Gerber and the size difference is quite a lot. THey are very cute though so I don't regret my purchase, I am sure the baby will be able to wear them when he is older.

Very cute, I'm giving them to my nephew and his wife for their new baby as part of their Christmas gift.

VTech - Learn and Discover Driver

This toy has limited interest for my son. I bought it for him when he was 18 mos (he is now 2). He occasionally plays with it for maybe 5 minutes at a time. If you put it on a smooth surface (table, hardwood floor) it slides around when he tried to turn the wheel or pushes/pulls the gearshift. Also it is very LOUD and I find the tone of voice kind of rude: On the horn: "out of the way", on the gas button "fill er up" but the tone of voice isn't nice it sounds like a rude little kid demanding that he be listened to....NOW. Except for the police button which says "slow down little fellow" the rest of them sound like spoiled brats! Not recommended.

At first glance it seemed to be the perfect gift for a baby with a thing for all things wheels and musical. AND normally I really trust the Vtech name so I didn't look at the item too closely prior to buying it. But it didn't take long for me to realize what a mistake I made. Yes, he likes it very much and uses it well, and it performs well etc. However, I will agree that there is NOTHING nice about how the voices speak or what they say and I would never think that I would have such a 'prudish' view on a baby toy! But it is rude, it is obnoxious and I don't like the message if you can say that there is one I mean they could have had much more endearing snippets. There is little education in it really and the songs are short the lyrics to the ABC song is half cut out?!?!? I could do without having education in a toy but that coupled with the bad attitude I have one thing to say "Outta' my house"

The older version of this toy is MUCH better with friendlier voices and helpful 'neighbors'. Vtech should go back to the old version.

I bought my son this driver when he was about 7 months old. At first he loved it. It makes all sorts of entertaining sounds for a baby. His favorites were the shifting sounds which he could easily activate (by moving the gear shift). He also loved the radio button especially when it played "Are you driving" (it is the brother john tune). While my son loved the noises this thing makes, I find that they can get very annoying, especially since the low volume is very loud.

After a few months, my son lost interest in this toy. He still plays with it occasionally, but it is no longer a favorite. At almost a year, he still never actually "drove" the toy. Perhaps once he learns to do this, he will regain interest in it. When the wheel is turned, the rollers spin. When they stop, the toy says one of three phrases about the pictures that show up. For example, "green square", "two bees" or "b is for bee" is said when the roller shows a picture with two bees and a green square. This could be educational once my son gets a little older.

One thing my son did learn to do pretty quickly was turn the toy on and off. The switch is sort of like a key in the ignition. It is very securely attatched though. I like that it is easy to turn so that my son can work it by himself. Most toys I have to start for him. Overall, I think I got my moneys worth. $15 dollars is a decent price for a few months of daily entertainment, even if my son never takes to it again.

I'm sad to see this toy getting such poor reviews. Yes, it does say "get out of the way" and "slow down little fella", but my DAUGHTER still loves it. The volume control on the bottom is loud and louder, and that's definitely a negative for me of course it doesn't bother my toddler. But all in all, this toy has been great. It's been well-loved and still works like new. My toddler loves to drive, and this toy has kept her interest for over a year. Just because it's not specifically designed for education doesn't mean there's nothing to be gained. We make it educational by naming the animals, shapes, numbers, letters and colors on the toy. We also sing the songs on the "radio" my child has gotten so good at it, that she can hit the button in rapid succession to get to the song she wants. Fun toy!

This toy is really rude! It says "Outta the way" and other very rude phrases. I can't believe anyone would produce a toy like this and think it was okay. This toy got a home at the bottom of a garbage can.

Jellycat Noodle Racoon Small

After paying close to $19 for this item (including shipping), I was VERY disappointed to see how small it was. It's a very cute stuffed animal but not worth $14 in my opinion.

B. Dr. Doctor

B. Doctor

Very safe for younger children is the best thing about this toy! As a child development specialist, this is the first thing I look for. I was looking for toys to have at my house for grandchildren that were safe and had some learning value. This toy works. Most of the Dr. Kits are for 3 and up, but really you need that type pretend play when they are younger and more fearful of routine Dr visits. This kit was safe for my 15 month old, but enjoyed by my 3 1/2 year old. The toys are safe for younger children, but look enough like real tools for them to be able to associate it with the real Dr.'s tool. I was not sure about the 'pager', but you will be glad the buttons are hard to press, because it is noisy, hopefully they figure out how to push it when they can understand quiet time! The box is large, but it allows you to add a white shirt (Dr. Coat,)empty band aid box, etc. as they get older for more imaginative play. I wish all toys with pieces came in a reusable storage container!

When I asked my daughter about her recent Dr. visit with the 18 month old, she said it was great, she thought the Dr. play with the kit was helpful. Did not seem as fearful.

I plan to order 2 more for Christmas gifts.

Does your little one check your ears with a glue gun; does he/she 'zamine your heart with anything that can be hung around his/her neck? If so, you may have a doctor in the house, and the "B. Doctor" set is just what your child needs for creative, imaginative play.

The roomy "doctor bag" provides a handy container for the nine tools that are included in the set. To adults, it may seem a bit too large, but smaller children find it easy to use as they do not have to carefully pack things to have them all fit. The stethescope is particularly nice its simulated heartbeat brought shouts of glee when my grandson first used it on "Papa." While there is a pager included in the kit, the manufacturer might consider replacing it with a toy "smart phone" so it is more in keeping with current trends. The other instruments otoscope, blood-pressure cuff, thermometer, oral mirror, tweezers, syringe, and scissors provide a variety of "healthcare" options and help foster imaginative play.

"B. Doctor" is constructed and finished well. There are no rough edges that could cut tender skin and no itty-bitty copmponents that might accidentally get put somewhere they should not have gone.

"B. Doctor" is definitly a 5-star toy. However, you should be aware that the price fluctuates greatly; I have seen it on Amazon from as low as $21+ to somewhere in the $30 range. My daughter got her son's "B. Doctor" at the red bullseye store for $22, so be sure to shop around for the best price.

As a grandma, I purchased the B. Doctor Kit for my home so that the grandkids could play with it. They equally all love playing with it! The case is a bit bigger than it needs to be, but you can add items to it, such as play scrubs. The beeper is really cool and works just fine...but you have to teach the child to hold the buttons down for them to work. Once they understand that, it is no problem for them. I highly recommend this kit.

I much prefer the B. Doctor Kit to the Fisher-Price Dr Kit. My own children had that years ago and I really loved it. But now, unless you have a girl and can buy the pink set, it comes in a material tote with a simple velcro closure and the tools fall out, and there are no where near the items that there used to be in it.

I bought this for my 2 year old son after a trip to the doctor, thinking it would be fun for him to play with replicas of the same items the doctor used that day. This seemed like a nice, basic, kit. But we were terribly disappointed. For starters, the case is enormous much too large to be easily portable, and much larger than necessary for the few items that come inside of it. It's awkward and takes up too much space (plus, it doesn't even look like a doctor's medical bag!). The top is difficult to open my son can't do it himself. But worst of all was the quality and design of the items inside the case... All were made of super cheap, light, poorly molded plastic. The syringe fell apart within about 2 minutes of taking it out of the box (the plunger isn't connected to the rest of it, and promptly fell out and got lost). The stethoscope ear pieces are way too large to fit in any child's ear or any adult's ear for that matter. So uncomfortable, my son couldn't bear to use them for more than about 30 seconds. And the stethoscope isn't even a "real" working device that can pick up a heartbeat, like all the other toy kits have... the end is simply a cheap machine that makes fake "heartbeat" noises (which sound like static) when you push a button. How disappointing! The thermometer also looks/operates nothing like a real thermometer it's quite strangely designed. I returned this kit the day after buying it, and bought one by another manufacturer that was infinitely better...

The case and items inside are designed so awkwardly that a child won't find them fun or even be able to open the box. The toys inside are difficult to manipulate, the parts that move are sticky or just didn't fit right. The case is such a strange design, I don't know why there is a graphic on top that looks like a homeless person's scarf, and the box has flimsy plastic windows on the sides that will surely break in 1 or 2 uses. We sent it back as soon as we got it. Really junk.

UPDATE:

We bought the Fisher Price Medical kit for substantially less than this one, and it is exactly what we expected for our little one.

Amazing Animals Push & Pull Lion

This goes along great with the rest of the Amazing Animals set and the Sing & Go ChooChoo set. The lion is really cute and my son (12 months) loves the main that can be twisted for fun clicking sounds. My son also loves to make the little monkey that attached to the cart spin around and around! Highly recommend getting this toy if you have any of the other Amazing Animals, they go so great together!

My daughter has this addition to the Amazing Animals train and loves it! Ours came as part of a Push & Pull gift set that also includes the zebra, crocodile, and panda. It is a much better value to buy it as the gift set with all the animals than to buy it separately. I suggest looking up the Fisher-Price Push & Pull Gift Set with BONUS Purple Crocodile. The Fisher Price Amazing Animals Tote Gift Set with BONUS Hippo is an awesome value too!!

I purchased this train piece and more for my 1 year old son and he loved the clicking noise the animals body parts make as they are rotated, and this animal is a great addition to the train set overall.

My son has the Amazing Animals Train set and loves it. I purchased the lion as an addition to his set. He really enjoys playing with it and works great with or without the train.

I thought this toy was adorable when my sister sent it for my baby boy. He got it at about 6 months old and he liked the colors and played with it often. The older he got the less he played with it. He's 23 months now and hasn't played with it in about a year.

IMO it was a waste of money, it didn't have any longevity. Oh well, it was a gift.

IQ Baby Zoom Zoom Vehicles

My daughter really likes these cars and I plan to give them as a gift in the future because of our experience with them. She loves opening all the different flaps and pockets. I originally introduced them at 6 mo, which was too young for her to really enjoy them. But now that she is close to one year, she "drives" them on the floor and makes "vroom vroom" noises. They are something she looks for in the toy bin and I would put them in the "favorite toy" category. You can't really tell from the picture, but the colors are bright and the wheels are plastic and move easily. The only thing I wish I could change is that they aren't machine washable.

My son started playing with these at about 6 months. He still plays with them everyday at almost a year. I think they are really cool, I love the colors and the flaps on them. I'm also a big fan of cloth toys. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a kid (baby to toddler) that likes cars.

My eight month old grandson loves his IQ Baby Zoom Zoom Vehicles. The six vehicles are colorful, having enough flaps and windows behind which colorful people and animals are hidden to keep him entertained for extended periods of time. The textures of the fabrics used in constructing these vehicles vary from shiney, smooth satin to corduroy-type finishes. The vehicles are sufficiently large so that he can grasp them even though his fine motor-skills are not fully developed.

We can actually get all six vehicles stacked, if we are quick, so that he can knock down the tower. This is one of his favorite things to do and results in smiles and laughter.

The finish work on these vehicles is well done. There are no rough seams or raw edges showing. The plastic wheels on all six vehicles have smooth edges; that is a real plus since those wheels are a favorite teething chew.

If you have a little one, he or she might enjoy these colorful, multi-functional vehicles.

This held my child's interest for a whopping 2 minutes, and he refused to play with it any longer. Really, it's a bunch of soft cars that don't roll, are difficult to push and don't stay stacked. Don't waste your money.

These little cars are so darn adorable. They seemed a bit expensive to me, but once they arrived, the detail was so lovely, I think they are worth the price. I just wish my son loved them as much as I did, but he's only 7-months old, so hopefully he'll grow into them. For now, I enjoy playing with them, lifting the flaps, and vroooming all around.
