Got 3 of them as my son has one for the car, house and bed.
Love this.
AlexThe quality and size exceeded my expectations. A gift for my nephew to help him learn to sleep in his crib by himself.

We had the dog hanging on the crib and our 7 month old daughter would play with it when she woke up in the mornings. Recently, while she was playing with it, the ring that she pulls on to make the music play broke off. The toy is now broken. It is impossible to fix and just dangles limply on the side of the crib. The tag does say to pull gently, but that is hard to control in the hands of an infant. I'm glad she is too young to understand it is broken or we would have had tears.Read Best Reviews of Gund Baby Spunky Pullstring Musical Toy Here
I love this pullstring musical toy because it is cute, soft, and plays a lullaby. I got this pink one for my youngest, and a white one to replace a different one that broke for my 5-year-old (who still likes to be rocked at night). The music is sweet, the doll is cute, and it is just perfect for a cozy rock before bed.Want Gund Baby Spunky Pullstring Musical Toy Discount?
This puppy is so cute and soft. My daughter loves sleeping with is. As soon as she hears the song, she knows it's time to go nigh-nigh.The only con to keep in mind is that is it not machine washable if you want the music component to continue playing. If you hang it on the
crib like they have pictured, it won't get that dirty. But if your plans are to let them use it as a lovey it might.

My children loved these and they have lasted for a very long time! My daughter is now two and it still works for her.Bought these for my daughter and they are just ok. What can you expect for a couple of bucks? I was looking for something more rubbery and they are plastic with water in them and they aren't completely filled. I probably wouldn't purchase again.Monday, July 14, 2014
Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Puppy's Animal Friends Book
Based on experiences with our kids, some babies and toddlers seem most tuned in to auditory learning and others prefer books like Bright Baby Touch & Feel Slipcase: On the Farm, Baby Animals, At the Zoo and Perfect Pets (Bright Baby Touch and Feel). Others like all sorts of books, from noisy to quiet.
The Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn has an deal combination of sound, learning activities, and pictures. It also has the advantage of being easy to keep clean, with most parts simply being easily wiped off.
It is also sturdy, survives being dropped (we already had that happen) and the pages can't be chewed through.
More detail about what's inside:
Each page starts with a recorded voice reading the words on the page. There is also a wheel on the side of the page which can be turned to hear music. The music changes for each page. There are also questions. One example: "Can you find the duck?" Colors are bright and the drawings are cheery...a turtle, a monkey, a house, and more. All pictures are large enough to be easily identified. Every creature, even a butterfly, is shown with a smiling face.
There are a limited number of questions and music for each page and this means the book may quickly seem repetitive for parents. But babies and toddlers often find comfort in familiarity as the classic Goodnight Moon indicates.
IF you are driven crazy by the noise on a day when your nerves are short, simply turn off the power button and read this book aloud or let your baby or toddler turn the pages and look at the pictures. It is also easy to jot down the basic sentences from the book or improvise to keep little ones entertained during read aloud time. Toddlers may indicate they want the power button on, though, while others are quick to let parents know they prefer a quiet session.
I've found the limited number of activities and sounds in the books are enough to sustain interest but don't overwhelm young ones. Books which have too many options can be confusing. The Laugh and Learn has exactly the right number, at least based on my experience.
I particularly like the fact that there is an off/on switch which has two volume levels. And of course once the power is turned off, parents, grandparents, etc.. can simply read the book aloud without the accompanying music and sounds. This is a super option, perhaps just before bedtime. Leaving the sound off allows the book to be taken along for a plane or car ride without annoying other passengers. When it comes to travel, this is easily transported and a super item to take along for grandparents who may be babysitting.
A better option for the youngest ones may be Look, Look! [Board book] . There is something about the black and white images and the high contrast that fascinates babies.
Once babies turn into toddlers, they often are proud to have their own book to read or just listen to while older siblings do homework or parents browse through a magazine. This adds to the usefulness of the Laugh and Learn. We always praised our kids for whatever reading efforts they made and asked them to "read" their books to us. Although toddlers tend to have short attention spans, these books held their attention for an amazingly long time.
Babies won't have the motor coordination to turn the pages but it won't take long for them to become old enough to handle those pages. Thank goodness, they are thick and easy for little hands to grasp. There aren't many pages but each one has several options.
Considering the fact that the Laugh and Learn can be enjoyed from 8 months to 3 years, I think it is a good value for the money. I did give it only 4 stars for educational value but I'm on the fence about that. T are relatively few animals and objects to identify in each book. On the other hand, the music itself and learning to turn the pages and practice pre-reading is certainly educational.
If there were an option for 4 and 1/2 stars, I'd pick that one.

My granddaughter has spent countless hours playing with this cute book. She loves the pictures and sounds it makes. The pages are packed with educational images. It is sturdy, colorful and entertaining, as I have come to expect from Fisher Price. This book would make a great gift for any young child being introduced to books. It can be chewed, thrown or otherwise mistreated and continue working just fine.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Puppy's Animal Friends Book Here

I bought these blocks for a friend's 4 children at Christmas. There are 3 boys (ages 5, 3, 2) and 1 girl (age 2) and they ALL love these blocks. In fact, Mom said they were such a hit that she wanted more so I puchased more in March as a birthday gift. They play rough and often and these blocks are hanging tough. I know they come in especially handy on rainy days when the kids aren't able to play outside.Once assembled the kids had a blast. We had trouble getting it assembled though because the instructions are not very good but we finally figured it out.Wednesday, July 9, 2014

My son bought these with his allowance after using them in school to learn math. He uses them like Legos to build things. They do allow for a lot of creativity, and he has enjoyed playing with them. Like another reviewer, I note that the quality doesn't seem to be all that high. I suspect that after more time some of the parts that are supposed to lock together will be too loose to do so. It also might be helpful to know that the set doesn't come with any holding case. It just comes in a cardboard shipping box that is not handy to store them in, so if you buy them you'll want a large ziploc bag or plastic bin to put them in.Want Learning Resources Snap Cubes, 500/Set (LER7585) Discount?
Bought this product because my son loved the snap cubes he used in Kindergarten class. He loves building things with them but more importantly we use them to learn math. Because these cubes spark his interest, it is so much easier to teach so many simple math concepts. Love these cubes!Tuesday, March 18, 2014

Buy Dr. Seuss Cat In The Hat Stacker Now
This was a Christmas present for my son (he was about 1 yrs old when recevied) and he still plays with it at 18 mths. Wish he had this toy at about 6 mths, he would have liked it then too. I like it because it is soft and I have washed it on gentle/delicate cycle a few times and it is still holding up well (even though it doesn't say machine wash it was fine). He liked to teeth on the soft rings and likes pulling the rings on and off the stacker.Fun stacking toy, a little pricey but good toy.My 6 month old loves this toy. The high-contrast colors really catch his eye, and he loves to pull the hat into his mouth. He has started to realize that he can pull the rings off (and that they are great teething toys). He's not yet at the point where he puts rings back on, but I anticipate that he'll have fun with that too. Best of all, when he was just starting to learn to sit, it was a great toy for him to play with. It kept him upright and engaged and encouraged him to reach out his hands instead of balancing on them. I highly recommend this toy starting at around 5-6 months!

Developlay Activity Center
Buy Developlay Activity Center Now
This toy has been great. The two sides offer a ton of different things my son can play with. He loves the little stuffed toy that pops out of the center and will open and close it's door for hours. It also offers different "activities" that infants can play with as they develop. My son would spend more time with one piece of the toy for awhile and as he got older would start playing with other pieces more. It definitely grows with them. My son is 11 months now and has been playing with this since about 5 months.This toy has both good and bad features. The colors and activities are good, but it would be nice to find a toy that does not have flashing lights. In low light, it's a strobe light and, in my opinion, too bright for any benefit gained. In fact, am wondering what the benefit really is in so many toys having the flashing light features....this seems to be the trend in toys available today. Anyone out there know the answer to this?My daughter really enjoys this toy and plays with it every day. It seems like a simple toy, but that may be the best thing about it. I would say it is one of the best buys I made as far as baby toys. One thing I didn't expect were the great music buttons on the other side. That part of the center is sort of like a Mozart Music Cube, only better (even though there are only three instruments).Friday, December 27, 2013

got this for my 5 month old son he is memorized by the spinning balls, lights and sounds. he also plays with the balls in his summer infant super seat! two toys in one, can't beat that! the only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is because the setting for "music" and "abc" play the exact same thing! maybe i got a defective product, don't know! i spent a good amount of time trying to figure out the difference between the two settings still haven't figured it out!Read Best Reviews of Bright Starts Having a Ball Alphabet Pop Top Here
I bought this for my son when he was about 5 months old. He is now 10 months old and I cannot think of a day when he hasn't played with it. He loves it! The animal balls are his favorite. He loves to roll them on the wood floor and chase them...they also spin like tops which is pretty neat. This was a great buy since my little guy has gotten so much use out of it already. By the way, my nephews (age 3 and 5) also fight over this toy when they are over to visit!Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Screen Laptop

We bought this for our grandchild when he stays the weekend with us. He was 10 mos. when we purchased it, he is now one and still loves it. He was always coming over and hitting the keys on our laptop and also on his daddy's lap top who works from home. Now he has his own laptop and he does the same thing, but the laptop responds back to him depending on the key or keys hit and so he plays with it for 30 minutes or more. He loves to open and close it to hear the all the different responses. Quite often he will play with it in bed at night until he falls asleep. I think this is a great toy for mimicking our daily lifestyle since we must use the computer for work at home. He thinks he is doing the same thing and leaves our laptops and us alone for a good amount of time so that we can work from home with less interruptions. I highly recommend this toy, it stimulates the child for a longer then normal amount of time and it is very educational at the same time.Want Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Screen Laptop Discount?

Bought this toy for my 2 year old granddaughter, who loves to buckle and unbuckle her car seat. However the buckles are very difficult to unbuckle. I wouldn't recommend.My 20-month old has a hard time unbuckling the buckles. They seem very stiff. Even I have a hard time pressing the buttons on the buckles to open them. I liked the concept a lot that's why I bought the toy. Maybe when he is a little older he will enjoy it more but now he just gets frustrated cause he can't open the buckles.First let me say I hate this toy but my grandson spends hours playing with it. I still have to unbuckle it for him but he loves to buckle them back up. We have the lion at my house and the monkey at his house. He is 22 months and I'm hoping he will be able to unbuckle soon himself. At 18 months he couldn't match the correct buckles up and would get frustrated well but now he is doing great.Friday, December 20, 2013
Baby Jogger Rain Canopy
Model Number: 50201
Manufacturing Date: 2011/05/20
It shields the rain (even when really windy) while providing ventilation.
Even when it's not raining, this canopy works well in shielding the child from the chilling effect of the wind.
It is very easy to put on and take off.
Has a zipper so there is easy access to the child.
This canopy works great!The rain/wind cover for the Baby Jogger is really great. It's made well and feels like it will last for many years due to the quality of the materials used.
The only issue I have with the cover is that to fully and properly secure it to the front of the stroller, you almost have to get under the stroller to strap the Velcro straps. This is sometimes quite difficult, especially when you're standing out in the rain trying to do this quickly.
Otherwise, this rain cover is really great and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their little one dry and out of the breeze.

I am so glad baby jogger made this cover. I ordered this online without much research and i am so pleased with this product. The materials are high quality. the plastic is thin but durable. completely wind proof and water proof with small ventilation holes. we have never had any fogging and use this all the time for the wind even when it is not raining. the middle zipper is the best part. you can leave the cover on and easily access your child without any trouble undoing the cover. just need to open the zipper! everything stays in place perfectly. the only complaint is the zipper is pretty flimsy and i worry it will break (the zipper handle), but no trouble so far and i have been using the cover daily for about one month. highly recommended.Read Best Reviews of Baby Jogger Rain Canopy Here
First off I love my City Mini but the prices of everything else you have to buy gives me a headache. Though I knew before I bought the stroller. They sell two different types of covers the one that I have is with the black on the top and back of it, and the clear plastic all around which is the other one. I didn't think it was going to be a big difference when I purchased this one but it is. I would to replace it with the all plastic one but Its too cold outside waiting for a new one to come and I can't afford to buy another one.Cons: The black fabric eliminates the ability to see your child threw the windows on top of the canopy which is very annoying. To check on my son I have stop and walk to the front of the stroller. I love the fact the I can see if he ok threw the flaps and now that's not even an option. Another thing is I have the all black city mini and its already dark for my son with the rain cover the black on the sides really makes it darker than it would be and makes my son uncomfortable.
Pros: The only pros I have with the cover is the zipper which makes it super easy to reach your child without having to take the whole thing off, that its super easy to put on, it folds real small because of the nylon fabric probably and that it does what it's suppose to shield my son from rain an protect him from the cold.
Overall I can't complain because my son is well protected but I just don't understand why the half plastic half nylon fabric cover is available. Would love to replace it with the all plastic one.We love the BabyJogger rain canopy for our city mini stroller. It is a must have for inclement weather. This version of the rain cover (vs the version of 2 years ago) has a nice plastic that is thick enough to do the job, but not so thick that it cracks in coldest weather or is hard to fold up. Fits great over the stroller. Highly recommended.

Like Bugaboo Doll Stroller
Buy Like Bugaboo Doll Stroller Now
Though it did take two tries. The first stroller received was damaged, small parts floating around in the box. Amazon was exceptionally fast in delivering the "replacement" product. After full-assembly, which took about 10 minutes, I'm quite pleased with this doll pram/stroller. More importantly, my daughter loved it. It's actually two strollers in one a pram that converts into a stroller. Could be improved by lining the baby carriage bottom with something other than just cardboard which would make this product well worth the $$.Easy to put together. Steers beautifully. In an absolutely ideal world, some bedding would have been nice, and stuff falls out of the basket underneath!This is a very well-made buggy. My wife and I had a great time putting it together and guessing how much fun our granddaughter would have with this! The adjustable handle is such a good idea to fit kids of all heights. We are giving it to her in couple of weeks for her birthday and know she will love it! The only thing we both said that we wish it had was a lock to hold the canopy part in position. It does stay up when you put it there, but buggies we bought for our daughter many years ago had a way of pushing back on the hinge to lock it in to position. Even after saying this, we will be purchasing another one for our other granddaughter when she gets a little older.
