Buy Sophie The Giraffe So Pure Duet of Teething Rings Soft and Very Soft Versions (White) Now
My son has been teething since he was 3 months old. With some teething toys he cries after biting them, which tells me they are much too hard for his swollen and sensitive gums. I bought these teethers as I liked that they came with 2, but different Sophie's. The first is for beginning teething...it more hollow, soft and flexible. My son has never cried while chewing this and it is his favorite teether. The second Sophie is for advanced teething. It is harder and less flexible. Love these and prefer them over the Sophie the Giraffe toy which I also own. This just seems easier to grip and munch on, and there is no long leg that can gagg your little one.Thursday, August 14, 2014

Our daughters love playing with these blocks, but now that they are teething and chewing on them, the color is coming off on their skin. I wiped drool off a block with a white rag and was surprised the color rubbed right off on it also. We do not want to see our children ingesting dye from their toys.I purchased these for my 5 month old daughter. They are wonderful. The only problem is they are a little big for small hands to hold on to. Also they could be a little softer. All in all she loves the colors and noises. I feel they are a good value for the price.This is the perfect block set for small babies. Interesting textures, peek-a-boo windows and pictures fascinate my daughter and I don't have to worry about her falling on them as she toddles by. I looked for blocks like these for my first child but couldn't find them.Thursday, July 10, 2014

Lamaze Mittens The Kitten Cloth Book
The colors and contrast are very amazing for him.
The different textures are something he likes too.
He is a bit young right now to use it at its 100% but this is what is really good about this book, it is useful from 3 months to more.

This was my first Lamaze purchase. My book came from the UK and I was amazed how fast I received my book. It was shipped right away with free shipping and I received the book at least two weeks earlier than promised. The kitten's head on the cover is puffy and is the most interesting part of the book because it makes the crinkly sound when touched. The book itself has no words, but each page is very colorful and self explanatory. On each page there is one thing that has a different texture for the baby or child to touch. You have a fish, chair, milk, flower, dog, butterfly, moon, and a ball of yarn with a texture that represents that object. The binding and handle is a soft satin that a young child would enjoy touching. In fact all the pages are very soft to the touch. A very cute book of a curious kitten.Read Best Reviews of Lamaze Mittens The Kitten Cloth Book Here

Warm Baby Kid Toddler Winter Earflap Pilot Cap Hat Beanie Bomber Flight Helmet
I am throwing my daughter a hot air balloon themed birthday party for her first birthday, and I'm building a miniature hot air balloon for her to sit in and have her pictures made. I bought this hat for her to wear in some of her pictures, and I figured she could also wear it in the winter to keep her head warm. I will list the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. The hat is true to size, which means it can fit a one year old's head or the head of a bigger kid.
2. The hat is well-made and very soft, inside and out. It will also be very warm for winter days.
3. The picture only shows the ear flaps hanging down, but the right ear flap can actually wrap under the chin and button to the other ear flap to create that true pilot look, which will also keep the hat secure on the head and keep the chin warm. There are two size adjustments for this, too.
Cons:
1. The goggles are not the same as the ones in the picture. The ones in the photo are more rectangular shaped, and they look thicker and more padded, and whatever they're made out of looks softer and different than the ones I received. My goggles are oval-shaped, and they look like they're made out of a crappy pleather. The stitching on them isn't the best either. The goggles in the photo also have a bigger nose piece than mine do. My nose piece is literally only a few millimeters wide.
2. The goggles go around the back of the hat with an elastic band (like the one in the photo) and there is a small flap in the back that goes over them, to hold them in place. On this flap is a button. I was happy about this, because I thought the goggles could detach, but then I realized that the button is not functional, so basically the goggles are attached permanently to the hat. I wish I could detach them for wearing, and I'm unsure how I'm supposed to wash the hat if I can't detach the goggles, which are sure to tear up in the washer. I guess I'll have to hand wash it and be very careful with the goggles, especially considering how easily the lenses scratch. The goggles can be pulled down some to go over the eyes, but not in the way that they could if they actually detached; instead they come down at an awkward angle.
3. This hat is made in China and the tag with the care instructions is written in Chinese symbols, so I can't even read anything about it. The only thing written in English is the part that says "made in China".
4. The color of the hat and goggles is also different than the one in the picture. The seller photo shows a lighter brown hat with darker brown goggles. My hat is a chocolate brown with goggles that are the same color.This hat is so cute! It's very good quality and keeps my babies head warm. Every time my 13 month old wears it we get tons of compliments.

So many big expensive gifts were given to my 2 year old on his birthday, but this was by far his favorite! The goggles actually pull down over his eyes, while staying attached. He is very rough on toys, but this is holding up well, he wears it all around the houses. I am absolutely delighted by it, it has made for some darling pictures!It was so adorable and it arrived to my cousins house much sooner than expected. It has got to be the coolest winter hat I've ever seen :)Want Warm Baby Kid Toddler Winter Earflap Pilot Cap Hat Beanie Bomber Flight Helmet Discount?

This toy is adorable, incredibly well made and my 14 month old son LOVES it! We have so many toys and every morning when he wakes up, this is the first toy he goes running for! He is learning how to push them so they pop out and and loves placing them back in the fire truck. I highly recommend this toy!!Want Pop Up Fire Truck Discount?
My 14 month old got this from Santa and he is in love with it. He carries the little people around with him and thinks it is SO funny when they get popped. It seems durable enough, the only concern I have is it looks like the paint isn't that durable.I am also disappointed that is made in China, but I didn't think to look when I was ordering. I'm just a little skeptical on China's paint quality control...It's not a deal breaker, and it's my fault for not looking.

*Do not pay more than $5 each for these. I paid 3.99 each for them at Toys R Us and Walmart.*They are made out of one solid piece of rubber, so the dump truck doesn't dump, the tow truck doesn't tow.
*They roll GREAT, we take them to the park and have a blast racing them down the slide.
*since they're made out of rubber they don't hurt to step on, and don't do much damage when crashed into things!
All in all I would buy these again, but not for the prices listed here on Amazon.

Baby Einstein Caterpillar and Friends Play Gym
The movement-activated star that lights and sounds.
The variety of toys.
The print of the mat combining real images and illustrations.
You can attach toys to the mat, not just the arcs above the baby.
We don't like that much, but tolerate:
Polyester fabric is too... "slick" so baby can't gain traction during tummy time in order to crawl.
Rings for hanging toys are not enough. Some of the toys would be too high so we got some extra rings and used then to also hang other soft toys we had. You could get the Bright Starts Lots of Links.
Hope my review helps you.I like this little gym, but I do have a few complaints about it. I'll start with what I like.
Pros:
* Very bright and cheerful
* Toys are cute and interesting
* Has a small footprint
* Easy to assemble
* I like the music on the Star
Cons:
* It's smaller than I would have liked
* I was afraid the Star that blinks and plays music would give my daughter a stroke. The blinking light was so fast and crazy it scared her, so when we use it, we lay it face down on the floor, which negates half of its purpose
* The material is very slippery, so when my daughter started rolling, she would slip around and then get caught up on the arms
My biggest complaint is the Star and how fast it blinks. Had I known this before I spent the money on it, I would not have purchased this item.

This playmat is great, and the reason is the light-up musical star. My seven-week old daughter smiles and even coos everytime I lay her down on the playmat and turn the star on during her activity time. It is so cute.Read Best Reviews of Baby Einstein Caterpillar and Friends Play Gym Here
I really like this play gym so far. We just got it two weeks ago for my daughter who is now 11 weeks old and she seems to like it so far. The toys that come with it are very good, some even labeled in multiple languages (English, Spanish, French) to help when your baby is old enough to identify shapes. The theme of the mat is garden/outdoors but most of the images are based on basic shapes (circle, square and triangle) so your baby can identify them there too. I really like this mat above others I have seen because many of the images are "real life" images that look like photographs rather than the cutesy cartoon drawn images on many mats. This will help my little one connect to how things look in real life as well. The colors on this mat are brighter which I think stimulates better than pastel colors.Since my daughter is so small still, I traded out some of the toys that came with it (the teether leaf and some of the hard hanging toys) for some softer toys we already own until she is bigger. I gave it 4 stars only because I am concerned the fabric for the mat may be too slick for my daughter to get enough traction to pull up when in tummy timefurther use may prove this wrong.

I bought this gym for our third baby with a gift card someone gave me because our older Baby Einstein gym was worn out after being LOVED by 2 kids. I am so disappointed we loved the original, but this one has some huge flaws, mainly in the setup. Since the bars do not cross, the gym doesn't just "pop" open when you put it down, so you have to use two hands to set it up (which is not easy to do when you're holding a baby at the same time). It also doesn't lie flat; the edges of the mat curl up against the bars because the clips are so far underneath. Also the toys are huge and made of hard plastic, so they hang down low (even from the top rings, the dog and frog practically hit my baby's head). Lastly, there is no support pillow with this one for tummy time. Unfortunately we washed the mat before we set it up, so there's no way for us to return the gym for a better one.Tuesday, January 7, 2014
CHILD Scarecrow Costume - Officially Licensed Costume from Wizard of Oz (Straw not included)
Buy CHILD Scarecrow Costume - Officially Licensed Costume from Wizard of Oz (Straw not included) Now
THE HEADPIECE WAS SIZED FOR A 2 YR OLD. AND THE HAT IS ALSO WAAAY TOO SMALL. I HAD TO SEW A HEADPIECE SO IT COULD BE USED IN TIME FOR THE SHOW.The costume is terrible quality and it doesn't come with a mask as pictured. It was also missing all the straw and one of the black straps. Not sure what happened with this transaction, but it was a big fail on Amazon's part. I returned the costume.The product was sent very quickly and arrived in new condition, so I have no issue with the service. However, the costume was VERY cheaply made. The elastic in the waistband failed immediately buy coming detached from the pants and also it was completely stretched out and had no elasticity. The pants were so long they fit my 16 year old son, so they were not "child-size." The headpieces which were a hat and bag-like part were both WAY too small for my 7-year-old daughter, so it was toddler-sized. The image displayed here did not accurately match they item sent at all. We tried to make it work with buying straw and other parts, but we ended up using NO part of this purchase to use as her scarecrow costume. She ended up with her own jeans, her own cowboy hat, her own flannel shirt and brown boots. She had a great time in the costume with our own make-shift supplies, so if I had to do it over I WOULD NOT have purchased this item.Wednesday, December 25, 2013

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Jumperoo
1 The seat is deeper and does a much better job of supporting him. He has had amazing head control since birth, but in some of the other jumperoos with shallower seats, his body flopped around in them more and I didn't feel like I'd be able to walk more than 2 feet away in case he would fall over and hit his head. We saw support pillows being sold in the stores to address that problem, but why buy something else if you don't have to? The seat on this FP jumperoo is perfect for support and seems to be very comfortable for him--he'll spend up to an hour in it just playing and bouncing away.
2 This jumperoo is much more responsive to movement and is a lot "bouncier" than some of the others we saw. In fact, the jumperoos at our son's day care aren't nearly as springy, and he's very blah about them at day care. But when he's home and gets in this one, he immediately lights up and is all smiles. The bounciness would be something to consider, though, if your baby doesn't have great head and body control yet--I could see how it might be too much for some babies, especially if they aren't all about being on the move all the time. For ours, though, this one is perfect.
3 The toys and bright colors immediately caught his attention at the store and at home they continue to keep him interested. He loves gazing at the light-up keyboard, playing with the monkey and penguin, grabbing the rings, trying to grab the bee and bird, etc. The toys are in a couple of little groupings that almost create little "stations", so when he gets tired of one station, we just turn his seat to the next one and he's happily entertained for another 15-30 minutes. The sounds and music are also great--they respond to his movement, so the more he bounces, the more he hears the music, which in turn makes him excited and he bounces even more!
4 There are 3 levels of height adjustment, so it should last him a long time. We have it on the lowest setting and he's about 26.5 inches tall right now; we have a pillow underneath him because the tips of his toes barely brush the floor, but he won't need the pillow for much longer.
Especially after seeing his reaction to the day care jumperoos, we couldn't be happier with our purchase of this one. If your baby responds well to lots of movement, then you won't go wrong with this one.I got this for my 6month old...she loves jumping in it and spends more time in it than her playmat or swing. Her favorite first thing was the spinning sphere. The only thing I didn't like was that the sphere is far away on the opposite side of the other 3 features but hopefully she will learn to turn in her seat soon.
She is 16.5 pounds so i adjusted the springs to level 2...the instructions said their feet should not be flat to the ground in this jumper and on level 2 at 16.5lbs, she has perfect jumps using the balls of her feet. I think this is to avoid their knees dislocating if they land wrong, so make sure your baby's feet are not flat to the ground while they're not jumping.
The other thing i loved is that it's easy to take apart to move from one room to another. She loves this. It's worth the $95 spent and i've compared it to many other jumpers on amazon and compared reviews. This one is great.

The Discover n Grow jumperoo is great for my baby. However we also purchased the rainforest jumperoo and like that one better. The seat moves around easier in the rainforest jumperoo.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Jumperoo Here
This jumperoo is amazing! After 4 months of research on each one I decided to get the rainforest jumperoo but when I went to order it I found this brand-new jumperoo just listed and with no reviews on any web site we decided to be spontaneous and order it for our 4 month old daughter. This is a neutral item even with the butterflies that hold the toys to reach out too since they are more boyish colors. It is bright colored and makes lots of fun music! Unlike most toys I didn't need to keep introducing it! She loved it the second she was in it. She grabbed the toys right away. It took twenty minutes for me and my wife to put it together. Even though we put a pillow under her to make up the height difference its perfect and give us a huge brake!Want Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Jumperoo Discount?
Purchased this for my daughter at 4.5 months of age. Now at 6 months this is her favorite activity of the day. It was very simple to put together. The base is a nice neutral color that matches well with the rest of our house. I love this model much better than the others available for a number of reasons. The springs are covered with a black and white fabric which is perfect because babies can see high contrast better than any other color. The dangling bird and bee are not so much hanging overhead (as the rainforest model does) and I dont worry about her hitting her head while bouncing. When compared to the Laugh and Learn model, the L&L appears to have a large red arch in the back, and IMO would become difficult when lifting the child out of the seat.A friend of mine had the Baby Einstain bouncer for her son, and I did not like it at all. The seat was really wide, and my daughter appeared to recline in the seat rather than be supported and use her toes to bounce. She could not reach ANY of the toys. Even though its advertised that you can "hang your own toys" from the bars, the child would not be able to reach them. The springs are VERY short, and provided little to no bounce AT ALL.
I am so happy with this purchase, and my daughter loves it. She will usually jump and play for 30-45 minutes twice a day in it. It provides quick and easy entertainment as well as exercise. The seat is easily removed for machine washing, and the unit is portable, so you can keep your child close by instead of using a doorway jumper. Doorway jumpers have the ability to provide a swinging action, and frankly they scared me. The child could possibly hit their head or smash their fingers in the doorframe. So the cost of this jumper is well worth the peace of mind it provides.
So if you are looking for a great jumper, this is it.

Very soft and just as adorable as pictured. Was much bigger than expected, but that was my error in not paying attention to the description that says it's 15".I bought this for my newborn and realized its a tad too big for her right now.. But it is adorable and very soft .. I know as she gets older she will want to drag this around everywhere just like her paci lol!We love lovey's! This one is cute and soft and a good size that little ones can grow with. Great for getting kids to sleep without a fight and for calming them when upset.
