I was so excited to buy this for my daughter but she has had it for over 6 months and has used it maybe ten times. I figured since this a toy it would have fun songs but it only plays rock-a-bye baby. I like that it is soft but my daughter is 18 months and only 21 pounds and it looks like it is going to break each time she does use it. We do not have any other rocker so maybe she just doesn't like rockers but needless to say this has been wrapped up and put in the not used toys pile for baby number two.

My 1 year old LOVES this dolphin rocker! The "fur" is soft and squishy, yet underneath is firm enough to be sat on. The music is a little creepy thosounds like the children of the corn are singing it.

This is cute rocker but the tail broke the second time my son used it. He is only 25 pounds and when he leaned back on the tail it broke. Very disappointed in the quality of this toy.

Jellycat Small Plum Bashful Bunny 7

What a delightful plush animal! He is the perfect size for little hands. And so very, very soft. Glad to have found him.

My daughter's room is done in a lavender and green bunny theme. She already had a large beige bunny in this style that she received as a gift. She loves it and sleeps with it every night. When I saw this smaller one in plum, I knew I had to buy it to add to her collection. It's super soft and absolutely adorable. It was a wonderful addition to her Easter loot.

Tonka Chuck & Friends Talkin' Handy The Tow Truck

This item was 3 times the price it should have been, it was ridiculously overpriced, I bought it thinking it was the much larger version. This one can be bought locally for $10

This is a great toy for babies. However, it's kind of boring and small so my lil one loses interest fast. I would probably recommend this for babies under 18 months. That being said it is very durable and has bright colors that are good for teaching colors. This is my go to toy for car rides because its quiet and won't break anything!! It is also a good toy for sand box and dirt because it can be hosed down.

I bought this truck for my one year old grandson; he likes big trucks that make a lot of noise. It seemed like a perfect match, but when I opened the package the truck was only about 1/3 of the size that I thought it would be. If there was a size indicator on the web page, I did not see it. Such a small truck should also be less than $20.00 in my opinion.

But he will still like it and play with it...

This review is for the Tonka Chuck and Friends 5 inch Handy the tow truck w/lights and sound.

Here's the quick and dirty:

How fun is the toy? 4/5 It's a fun toy. The boy plays with it but he's just now adding trucks to his toy collection. Hard to judge but read my story below.

Educational Value = 3/5 I can't rank the educational value of this toy so I'm sitting on the fence, giving it a 3/5. Perhaps it will help with motor skills development and imagination but I'm not calling this an educational toy. That ranking category needs to be optional so potential buyers aren't mislead by falsely low scores. It should have a N/A option.

Durability = 5/5 This is a great soft truck for a little boy to play with. The wheels move freely, it rolls nice on the hard woof floors, the lights are clear and the voice over is easy to understand.

Overall = 5/5 I have to rank it this high to offset the educational score and equalize the rank. I'd probably give it a 4/5 and perhaps down the road it may become his favorite.

The toy was purchased for my 19 month old son for Christmas. He also has the larger Chuck and Rowdy. We accidentally purchased 2 of these between the wife and I so 1 went to our friends son. We didn't wrap this truck because we weren't sure we'd give it to the boy. As with all kids, he found the box, pushed down on the lights and Handy started talking and flashing the tow lights. Our son was hooked. It's a nice toy for a little guy who's just starting to get into trucks. It talks and moves around easily and flashes it's lights. In the end, it's a good toy.

I sure do wish there was a large version of the same toy but we've been hard pressed to find it.

Go ahead and buy it. It will be played with long beyond the age of a 19 month old. Who knows, if Tonka makes a full size version perhaps this little one and the big one could be a father son combo. Ohh the potential.

Sassy LeapFrog Baby Colors and Tunes Octopus

I was a little worried about the volume issue mentioned by a previous commenter. When the toy arrived the first thing I did was check everything out. I do not find this to be a particularly loud toy. As long a the child didn't squeeze it in the middle of the night, I don't think there would be a problem (It would be a little disturbing to wake up to the tinny, sing-song octopus voice).

It's very cute, and I think all little ones would enjoy the colors and sounds!

I bought this for my 6 month old granddaughter. She is now 9 months old and still loves it. She seems to be attracted to things that are blue, she plays with this toy daily. She likes the rhyming best!

Buy Sassy LeapFrog Baby Colors and Tunes Octopus Now

As I expected my baby boy at 4 months old really took interest in this toy. He is teething and likes to chew on every appendage, even the ribbon "hair". He is delighted by the sounds, especially the rhyme mode, and works well to divert him from cranky moments during play. The back of the octopus' head has a velcro opening, which enables you to possibly wash the fabric body, but I have not tried to do it yet. However, the Yellow tentacle's touchpad receiver became broken after only a couple of weeks of very light play, which is disappointing. Overall, he does not seem to know the difference, and plays with it in various ways. It is a good toy for parent-child interactive play.

Wonderworld New Stacking Rings

This toy is a favorite of my 13-month old. Even though the toy seems rather primitive for a grown-up, he stacks it and plays with the rings endlessly. The colors on the picture look somewhat "chemical", but in fact they're not as glossy and are very natural-looking yet bright. As others have also noted, the paint does not chip (it is very similar to the paint on Haba blocks). I couldn't find the country of origin listed on the site, but, if anyone's interested, the toy is made in Thailand (at least mine is).

It also feels safe to play with since the rod is very thick with a rounded end. The surface is very smooth. It's a classic toy and I'm sure will be enjoyed and will last for quite a while.

My wife and I both had fond, vivid memories of the Fisher Price plastic version of this toy from our childhood. It had apparently made such an impact on us in our formative years that we definitely wanted to share that experience with our new baby. But we also love wooden toys, so when we saw this, it was the perfect meeting of the two.

My wife is completely satisfied and says the stacking rings are exactly what she expected, but I had hoped the center post would be conical, and that the rings would be toroidal. Instead, the rings are more like discs, with a uniform hole drilled through each one, and the pole is cylindrical. This means the rings can be put on in any order. It's not a big deal, and I still really like the toy, but a big part of the educational experience I wanted from this toy was the idea that the rings only go on in a certain order. It's a profound logical/mathematical lesson.

Maybe I'm just not enough of a free spirit. I am very happy with the toy; I just wish I'd known ahead of time how it was constructed.

Buy Wonderworld New Stacking Rings Now

I just love wooden toys and purchased a bunch of Wonderworld and Melissa & Doug toys for our son's first Christmas. As one other reviewer mentioned, this is great for toddlers but our son is 8 months old and still plays with it. The rings are nice and chunky (not too thick) and right now are being used as chew toys. I, on the other hand, play with this toy too in front of our son so he can watch. I stack the rings up without the pole and let him knock the stack over. I twirl the rings around really fast on their sides (hard floor) and he watches them smack into each other. I stack them on the pole randomly and he just watches. I also say the colors as I pick the rings up. Yeah, I know he's too young to understand but he watches and looks attentive when I play with them!

The best thing about this stacker is the pole is a uniform width. For example, the small purple ring fits all the way to the bottom. So you can stack them anyway you like, mixing up the colors and sizes. Someone got us the Fisher Price stacker (many people consider this the classic toy but I like wooden toys best) and the pole is fat on the bottom and small at the top so you can't put the small ring on the bottom. Also, the rings for the Fisher Price stacker are wider and our son can't grasp it well (yet).

A toy that I enjoy playing with totally gets 5 stars and I enjoy playing with it as much as our son loves chewing on it.

I bought this for our 1 year old granddaughter, and she likes it well. It is sturdy and interesting in a classic toy way. The wood has a nice tactile feel that is superior to plastics, in my opinion, or at least a nice change from all the plastic stuff out there. A child can put it together, take it apart, or play with the pieces. It doesn't light up or make music, but it does what it should and will last until she tires of it, when it can be passed along. The paints are nontoxic, and the workmanship is good, with no rough edges.

I bought this for my baby when she was only 10 months. After working with her, she figured out how to stack the rings on her own. Now that she is over a year, she still plays with it. It is durable, the paint has not come off, and I have had no problems with it. The quality is much better than the plastic ones out there.

Baby Einstein Lights and Melodies Discovery Phone

This is one of the worst kids toys I've purchased. My son showed almost no interest in this. The idea is good, but the sound is so low, you can barely hear it. I thought it was the batteries, but after changing them, it's the toy. I returned this. There are much better Baby Einstein toys out there

I bought this item for my dauther and when arrived I realized how low is its sounds. My dauther hardly hear something and because of that she doesn't play with it. I believed on the name of Baby Einstein and Disney but on the future I will not make the same mistake.

Sevi Music Box

The item is surely pricey, but then again, it will serve each of your kids/grand kids 7 times. Most people have bday parties on weekends, and it is not necessarily the actual day the kid was born. We use this toy to make the actual birth day special so the little one wakes up to the sounds of the Happy Birthday song and gets to play with the birthday cake :) it was a big success, and I am looking forward to seeing my son's smile every year as he will hear the music box play just for him.

This music box is well made and has a good sound. A child can wind it easily and the family can sing more on key when it plays. It is exactly what I was looking for.

Haba Mouse In The House Clutching Figure

I purchased this for my son when he was around 5 months old. The mouse makes a cute squeaking sound. He LOVED it then and now, at 10 months still loves the mouse. Would have given 5 stars, but I had to shorten the mouse's tail because it was a choking hazard.

I wanted to comment on the reviewer who said the tail is not a choking hazard. This is not a theory my son tried to swallow the tail and was literally choking on it. I caught it quickly and shortened the tail to about 2 in. long and this was never a problem again.

I still recommend the toy because he loved it and the issue is an easy fix.

The product is interesting, but the rat seems a bit too small and can be detached from the house. Prefer it to have a string secured to the house.

I bought this for my son when he was probably two months old. His older brothers (2 and 3 at the time) took it over. It's something that is loved by all the boys. A good sturdy toy, well made like all haba toys. I like haba toys because they last through lots of rough boy play.

The tail isn't a choking hazard. It'd made to strict European standards. We are getting another one because our puppy liked it. I guess the mouse was too much of a temptation for him. You can also purchase an extra mouse one jingles and one squeaks.

Sesame Street Juggling Teether Toy

We bought the Elmo teether because it is BPA free. The balls are rounded and thick, so our baby has something to put her mouth around (vs. the less comforting flat teethers). We put it in the freezer and it stays cold for a decent amount of time. I'm not sure what is inside the balls, it has a foamy look, but it isn't just distilled water like most "cooling" teethers. Elmo contains a rattle, so that adds another element of interest for our baby. It is a super buy (under five bucks) for a bpa free teether/rattle. I wish it had come out sooner and I hadn't wasted twice the price on the Natursutten cooling teether.

My daughter always tends to bite the plastic portion of this teether which is bad for her gums. You will be better off buying a teether that is all round chewable.

Monkey Family Bath Toy - Floating Fun!

I had purchased an item same as this for my 2 year old grandson previously, though a different animal species, and he really loved it in and out of the bath! It is made really sturdy and the little ones love the Mommy and her babies...very special playtime pretending. I bought this one as a monkey-themed baby shower decor accent and then will be given to my daughter afterward to save for the baby when he's ready to play in a jungle of imagination!! So adorable!!

*Update on this review:

My little one, now almost seven months, has discovered that the little monkeys make excellent teething toys -I'm so glad this came with three little monkeys, since he now carries one with him all over the house. They also fit great in my purse, so "bath toy" has become "chew on in the car" toy. He's also getting more coordinated, so although all three little monkeys still don't fit on the big one, he's very happy with one or two babies floating around on mom.

I appealed to dad on the whole "retaining water" issue, and apparently, all it takes is muscle-he folded the big monkey completely in half and all the water squirted right out. So I'm changing my stars to five-this isn't a great toy for a little, uncoordinated baby. But once he started to get the hang of all his fingers, my son fell in love with this!

---

Original review:

I got this toy for my six-month-old son because for him, bath time is play time. The concept of the baby monkeys being "on top of" the mom monkey is educational (learning spacial relations-"on top of" vs "next to," etc). However, the toy is not very stable (tends to flip over a lot), and all three babies barely fit on the mom. As a result, at the slightest wave, all the baby monkeys tumble off of the mom monkey and just float around. So I usually leave the baby monkeys out and just give my little one the big monkey to play with; he likes grabbing it and holding it under the faucet to make the water spray around. This kind of defeats the whole "spacial relations" point, though, and he gets bored with holding onto the one monkey pretty quickly.

I am concerned, too, because it seems like the big monkey is retaining water. I can hear it sloshing around in there no matter how I try to squeeze or drain it out, and I'm worried about putting a toy full of potentially moldy water in the bath with my infant. Overall, I feel very underwhelmed this toy. I would probably prefer to have spent the money on something else.

Pros: cute, floats well, light and easy for baby to grab, safe for baby to gnaw on

Cons: often upside down, small monkeys don't fit well, might be retaining water/hard to drain

Kids Preferred Disney Snuggle Blanky

I ordered this for my nephew who loves Mickey Mouse. I ordered thinking it was bigger because in the picture it looks like it may be medium sized. However, no. It's tiny. To give you an idea, Mickey is only about 4 inches long. The "blanky" is maybe 12 inches long. Extremely tiny. So don't order this thinking your child will be able to cover up with it. Very cute so I gave 3 stars, but definitely not what I expected and hoped.

I bought this to go inside my babyshower wreath which fit perfectly. But will also easily remove when baby gets here. Love love love it!!!!

Fisher-Price Little Superstar Little Jam Band

This toy did not meet my expectations. I should have purchased real toy instruments instead. My child really doesn't play with it and it is very loud. They piano keys are all one button, not separate, which I thought was dissapointing as well. I would save your money and skip this purchase.

My son got this for his 1st birthday. While it didn't hold his attention long he really did like playing with it. I would say it is good for younger babies, probably 6 to 12 months old. It has some cute giggling sounds which I always found amusing. I think the horn is pretty useless but the other pieces are cute.

My daughter received this set as a gift from her grandmother when we went to visit. While I was setting us up in an upstairs room, she was in the pack-n-play with all of her new toys and a few familiar ones. She pushed the buttons on the piano over and over again and I heard the guitar a few times, too. What's up with the trumpet, though? Did they just give up or run out of time or money in the development? I see the piano and guitar pulled out of the box often, but the trumpet is always put away. She loves all things musical and I have a several toys on her wishlist for her birthday and Christmas that are musical. This set was a good, very basic starter.

Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Little Superstar Little Jam Band Here

We received these as a gift when my son was about 6 months old. They are the kinds of toys that are interesting for a short while until the novelty wears off.

The piano just has one big button and plays a rotation of piano playing, someone saying "doobee, doopity bop, yeah", and someone laughing while lights flash. It is easy for a baby to push the button but unfortunately it does not have an off switch. So when it is in a bin with other toys it will play all night long if the button is pressed by another toy. It was heavy for a small baby and now that my little one can easily carry it, he is not very interested in it.

The guitar is similar to the piano but it has a barrel that is turned instead of a button and plays a rotation of a guitar playing, someone saying "doobee, doopity bop, yeah", and someone laughing. It also has beads inside so it is a rattle. It is a bit more challenging to play than the piano.

The trumpet has a button on the front that when pressed pretty hard makes a squeaking noise and clicking noise when you press down on the buttons (where the buttons on a real trumpet would be). This one is hard for a baby to play. At 16 months my baby finally is able to make the clicking noise and sometimes can get it to squeak.

The little handles on each of them make them easy to pick up but they are a bit heavy for younger babies. They seem very sturdy and we have not had to replace the batteries in the time we have had them (almost a year), although they haven't really been played with all that much.

Wonderworld Baby Police Car

I got this for my grandson and he will enjoy it. It is safe for his age. I am confident it will be a safe toy.

I purchased this product as a gift for a 16 month old. There are several things I really like about this product. One is the minimal amount of packaging. The minimal amount of packaging made it easy to get the toy out and play with it quickly. The second thing I liked was that the toy is the right size and weight for little hands (however, if your child is a toy thrower I would not recommend this toy, it is wooden and could probably break glass or hurt another child if thrown). It rolls well on standard carpeting, but is much better on hardwood or linoleum. At first I was concerned about the little red button on the top (it causes the toy to make a squeaking noise), but it really isn't that bad although the child has to press with a little force and quickly to make it work (that did not seem to bother this particular child, but an easily discouraged child might be annoyed with it).

This is a great toy for any child that loves cars.

I got this Wonderworld Baby Police Car for my son for his 1st birthday. He loves pushing things along the carpet (books, DVD cases, you name it) so I knew he was ready to have his own cars to push around. We got him this one and the tow truck. He LOVES these cars. We have a couple other cars for him to push (PlanToys Plan Preschool Baby Car Baby, another arched wood one with a little round head in the middle, a plastic one that has a bell that rattles inside and will wind up if you pull it back) but he chooses this one every time! He is fascinated with the 'siren' on top, if you push it down, it makes a very nice squeak noise. It took him a few hours of trying to figure out he had to push it pretty hard to get it to squeak. It rolls great on carpet and hard surfaces alike and is the perfect size for his hands. He is even picking it over his larger dump-truck toys. So pleased! If these two cars hold his interest, I may have to start buying the whole collection!

Very durable too, he's dropped it several times on hard surfaces as well as carpet and there is no sign of wear or tear.

Haba Tiny Town Stacking Game

I bought this toy for my daughter while on a work trip to Germany almost exactly 2 years ago (so I had the joy of not really knowing what I was paying thought in hindsight it truly is worth the money). She was about 14 months at the time so I put away a few of the smaller pieces and let her play with the other larger pieces/shapes. She is now 3 and has continued to play with this toy in various ways as she has grown. Now she seems to really understand how to fit the shapes against each other in different ways. Note that it helps to hang onto the box because 1) the box shows a few different ways to fit the pieces together and 2) it helps me keep track of which pieces are missing (as a few inevitably end up separated into other toy bins). The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the middle of the 3 sticks pulled out very soon after buying it (and I had to glue it back in). It still pops out occasionally but doesn't seem do diminish my daughter's continued enjoyment.

We got this when our boy was around 14 months, or so, and it has been great watching him go from doing nothing with this, to learning how to dump all the pieces on the ground, to slowly but surely learning how to put each piece back on the frame!

These are ultra high-quality wooden pieces, smooth to touch, with paint that does not flake or chip. The colors are bright, and the variety of shapes holds the child's interest.

There are several different ways to put the pieces on the frame, and several different designs you can make.

My son and I have had lots of fun with this, and he often points at the box on the shelf, asking me to take it down for him. Yes, the price is high, but you do get quality for the price, and at least for us, or son has really enjoyed this toy!

House Of Marbles Push Along Frog

If you, like me, cringe at the thought of someone buying your child that AWFUL popcorn popper that makes all the noise in the world as they push it around the house, THIS is a great alternative. There are 3 little wooden beads on each wheel. These beads are held on by a very short piece of rope. As you push the little guy around, the beads go "clank clank clank" against the wooden wheel. It makes noise, it encourages your child to play with it, and it's cute and fun. However, it does not slowly steal your sanity along with it. The handle is the perfect length for my daughter to push around who is around 32 inches tall, and she's pushing it out in front of her. It would probably be a comfortable push for a child up to 37 to 40 inches. The handle is just a small wooden knob, again, perfect for my kid. She's just turning a year old in the next few days so her hands aren't huge, she's still a little clumsy, and things that force her to hold something a certain way just end up frustrating her. I initially bought this as an alternative to a pull along toy we have. She loves it, but it's a few ducks held together by some flimsy plastic and the string is short. When ends up happening is one tips over because she pulled the string up to high, the whole thing stops being cute and fun, and then she gets frustrated when she can't gets it back to working. Not this push along! The wooden handle keeps things simple with little coordination needed. The clacking sound makes her happy, and the quietness of it makes me happy. It's GREAT for an apartment building (which is what we live in) so it's not driving my neighbors up the wall. It's light weight and easy for her to pick up and carry around the house. And, while her stocking is certainly quite deep, it fits great upside down as a stocking stuffer. Finally! A fun stocking stuffer that doesn't double as a choking hazzard!

Pooh Baby's First Tigger

He's machine washable, colorful, and well, Tigger! My daughter has had (and loved) him from birth, and he still looks pretty new! Someone gave us a duplicate which is waiting patiently in a closet for our next child, so I have him to compare to. VERY durable.

My baby loves this tigger. She laughs at him and bites his nose for kisses. She has abused this guy for 14 month's now and he still looks new! He is very durable, even for teething babies, and he is so darn cute! The perfect size and shape for young hands. He is also a very nice color orange. You simply can not go wrong with this Tigger as one of your babies first stuffed animals. A must have!

My daughter loves this guy! Tigger goes everywhere with us. Even dad loves tigger. I know the bright orange color and black stripes helped when her vision came in. She starred at him for hours. Now she loves to bite his nose and arms. For a toy not to have any functions except to enhance creative play, this one certainally has given us hours of enjoyment with lots of smiles and giggles.
