Teamson Kids Noahs Ark Potty Chair

Teamson Kids Noahs Ark Potty ChairMy son is my first to potty train. I have had a hard time with it so far but once I got this chair things have been going much smoother. At first I had a small chair in our bathroom, because our bathroom is small, but he kept saying he wanted to go potty but really he just wanted to get into the stuff that was in the bathroom. So I bought this chair and set it up outside the bathroom so when he wants to use it, he won't get distracted. Putting the chair together was really simple and only took me about 30 minutes. I used a screw driver and everything went together quickly. It's colorful and high quality. I didn't use the rockers on the bottom or the wood board to cover the potty hole but I plan to use them later on. I really like the rack and toilet paper holder on the sides and so does my son. I have bought quite a few different potty chairs and potty seats and I really love this one the best! The only thing that I noticed that was a little odd is that the rack on the side is a little too close to the arm rest so it would be difficult to put things in there like books but the rack can still be used for smaller things.

The potty chair is very pretty. But not as functional as i thought it could be. The potty hole area is too small and for the price i thought i was getting a better quality wood. A bit disappointed.

Had the chair for about six months now. The paint is cracking in the seat area and the bottom of the chair feet are flared and the paint peeling. Regret making this purchase

RICH FROG Original Rubber Duck - Royal Duck

RICH FROG Original Rubber Duck - Royal DuckCanst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose

To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude,

And in the calmest and most stillest night,

With all appliances and means to boot,

Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down!

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Henry IV, Part 2, Act 3, Scene 1, 26-31

Intended as a manipulative for high school English classes, this so-called rubber ducky illustrates Henry IV's exasperation at his inability to get more than a few Zs.

However, as another reviewer has noted, this rubber ducky will not float in a manner befitting an anatid. It is possible that STEM classes can rectify this shortcoming. The only way that the product can even begin to justify its enormous price is as an educational tool for both English and STEM classes.

On the other hand, used only as a tool in English classes, the lack of floating verisimilitude might still pass. It is a rare English class that furnishes tubs of water in which to float rubber ducks, after all.

I spend a lot of time looking at rubber ducks; it's my job. I'm a rubber ducky retail buyer. I own this duck. I've handled this duck dozens of times and I have to say that, for a duck, it's a good, safe choice. Young children like to put ducks in their mouths. Duck butts go straight in, without a second thought. If you are concerned about BPAs, then this duck and his little gang of friends are a more natural choice. He doesn't float upright, it isn't advertised as such and, in fact, most rubber ducks on the market don't float upright;they float on their side. In order to float, they need a weighted bottom. That's just the way it is.

Want RICH FROG Original Rubber Duck - Royal Duck Discount?

Our duck can't swim. We believe his crown is too heavy and makes him drawn. But seriously, I only bought this product because it was advertised as Phthalates or BPA free but I mean come on, swimming is a basic skill every rubber ducky should have! Since our ducky can't swim, we sing to our baby girl about the ducky at bath time. The song goes something like this: My name is king ducky, king ducky and my crown is too heavy, too heavy so I can not swim, can not swim. I come from Spanish union labor and I was pretty expensive but I still can't swim, still can't swim....

Baby-Ville Activity Toy

Baby-Ville Activity ToyI couldn't pass this up as I found it on Amazon on sale for $4.20.

It is even cuter in person as it is in the photo; however my one year old wasn't at all interested. I knew this was intended for a younger baby but thought she would like the faces....nope.

Regardless I still think at this price it is a great toy but would recommend it for about five months.

My one year old loves looking at faces in books and smiles when he sees close up faces on tv shows. I saw this toy and thought it would be a good stroller toy. Wrong. He had no interest in it whatsoever. Maybe this would be good for a younger baby but I regret purchasing it for my son.

Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Activity Mirror

Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Activity MirrorAlthough the item can totally be used alone, we found it was a great addition to the Skip Hop Activity Gym. Its adorable and has great added features other than just the mirror itself. I had to take off one star though because the actual image quality in the mirror itself is pretty distorted. Its actually really common in play mirrors, since they are made of soft materials instead of a true glass mirror (for obvious safety reasons) so I cant entirely fault the maker for this issue, but its still worth noting.

Since the day I opened this it is by far my son's favorite toy. It is also much larger than I expected and I love that it can go on the back of the headrest in the car for road trips.

Got this item for my 3-month to give her something to look at during belly-time. She had been very interested in mirrors lately so this looked great. Turns out the mirror on this is no better than if she looked into a piece of foil! It's warped and distorted to the point her doesn't see herself in it. It's redeeming quality in the "crinkly" ear that babies love so much.

This is super cute, but i didnt realize it was one if those "funhouse" mirrors.

I understand that you dont want a glass mirror over a baby, but cant someone come

Up with a better kid friendly mirror? The image looks all distorted.

Which is NOT a defect of the product. Its made that way.

It has cut little animals that velcro to the elephant, but you can remove them and

They hang by a string. I attached mine to his play mat

Id recomend this to a friend.

Want Skip Hop Alphabet Zoo Activity Mirror Discount?

My baby girl adores this, started reacting to it at about 3.5 months, now is 6 months old and still loves to look at herself. The mirror is not rigid, so sometimes gives a funhouse-esque reflection. I think the baby thinks this is funny, but I wanted to mention it because my mom was disappointed that it wasn't a proper reflection (I think she thinks it will mess up the baby's self-image haha.)

The little attached toys (the bird and the monkey) are very attractive to my baby also, who always tries to grab on to them, but they are stuck on the mirror with what feels like supervelcro it takes significant effort on my part to remove them so she can play with them. On the bright side, this supervelcro they use is not the hook-y kind that can hurt little fingers (or little teeth) so I don't have to worry about that. They are attached with a VERY short string though I'm guessing this is for safety reasons but my baby isn't able to really play with the little attached toys which can be frustrating for her. All these points taken into consideration, she LOVES this toy and so do I!

Tiny Love Activity Ball

Tiny Love Activity BallAs a speech and language expert at Play on Words, I look for toys that can stimulate language: Give this lovable guy a push and he gladly rocks and rolls just out of reach so your baby chases after him, exploring and discovering his wobbly gait. Each nudge brings on one of 5 entertaining sounds to make your baby smile. The friendly face with bug eyes and dimples, two antennae just the right size for nibbling, a colorful neck to stretch, a handfull of colorful textured rings, butterflies and ladybugs to describe and beads moving to the action all qualify this as a great toy to encourage language development.

This Tiny Love Activity Ball has all the elements for stimulating language--lots to talk about concerning, color, texture, sounds and activity. Parents can describe the bright colors, patterns of stripes and polka dots, plenty of textures such as soft, hard, bumpy, and smooth and sounds that accompany movement whether rocking or yanking on his head and feet. Remember to follow your child's focus of attention and describe what she thinks is interesting, not you! If she is chewing on the antennae or playing peek-a-boo with the ladybug, that is what you want to be talking about. Research shows that children take in more language when we are talking about what they are interested in. Isn't that true of us adults too?

I love Tiny Love products.

But this item is totally a disappointment.

The tap feature does not work.

There's a seperate small cheap Chinese device in the middle of the product. I've plugged it out and tried to figure out how it works. But in order to make it work you have to hit it hard (I mean very hard). And It does not work when you put that device into the toy.

In order to make it operate, you have to bang it very hard to the ground..

My daughter loves this toy now at 6 months and I can see it growing to be even more fun for her in the next few months since she hasn't even tried to pull the head out of the ball. It features a magnetic hand that she loves to pull away from the lady bug over and over. She also likes to play with the attached rattle and there is a crinkle flower she enjoys as well.

This is the best toy i ever bought for my daughter, she 6 and half months old now. And this toy fascinates her, with sounds and mobile parts. this little ball like doll makes her coo and giggle all the time.

Want Tiny Love Activity Ball Discount?

There are some things that would interest a baby such as rings to slide, a crinkle flower, and a magnetic hand. The ball also has a cute face that vibrates when you pull it out. It does have some flaws unfortunately. The ball is supposed to make sounds, but it only does so when it is thrown or hit very hard. It isn't very sensitive to touch I guess. The head is also very hard to pull out.

Sassy Whirly Twirly Twosome

Sassy Whirly Twirly TwosomeThis is a fantastic toy for newborns on up. These characters have eyes that attract the attention of even the youngest infants, along with a pleasant rattle sound. Even better, they have velcros straps on the pottom which allows them to attach to highchairs at restaurants, armrests of planes, car seat straps and strollers. We use them from before 6 months until at least 15 months. Well worth the small price. We give them as gifts to everyone with a new baby.

This toy is really cute and my daughter likes them. They attach to her stroller tray with no problem and can easily be removed or put on. It keeps her busy for awhile while I'm going on a long walk or grocery shopping.

I ordered this super stroller toy for my expectant niece who had placed it on a baby registration for another store. I bought it online at Amazon.com for less including shipping costs! As I had it shipped to her, I have never seen it in person. She was happy to receive it, but has not tried it even tho' the baby has arrived, it's not time for stroller rides yet. It appears to be wonderfully designed as it is entertaining just to look at its picture. I get a giggly feeling.

Dream On Me Mission Collection Style Toddler Bed

Mission Toddler Bed Finish: BlackThe Bed is well made of Alder or Spruce a Light nicely grained hardwood with a good finish. It assembled very easily and is very sturdy. My 2 year old daughter just loves her own little bed.

She does still occasionaly roll out of it in the middle of the night because she is such a fidget and moves about constanly in her sleep. Longer side rails might help. But still a awsome bed for less than 60 $

I read the reviews on this bed and many others when I was in the market to purchase a toddler bed for my son who is almost 2 1/2. Most reviews on this bed were 4's and 5's and I totally agree. This bed is a great transition bed for toddlers. It looks nice, it's reasonably priced, it's easy to put together and my son absolutely loves it. It made him feel like a big boy and because he can get in and out of it with ease and on his own, it makes him feel very independant. He adjusted to it right away with no problems. I would definitely recommend this bed for anyone in the market to purchase a toddler bed. Well worth the price!!

For the money this is a good toddler bed.Assembly was easy and all the hardware was included.The bed itself is functional and the finished product is nice.If you're looking for something that's functional and economic this is a good buy.I was reluctant to buy a piece of furniture via the internet, but I have to admit overall I am pleased with my purchase. My only criticism would be that I would have liked to see the bed to be a little more sturdier.Again it's functional, you just need to be aware of the weight you place on the bed.

I ordered 2 of these beds for my 2 year old girls. First of all, there are alot of pieces that you must assemble yourself. Every rail on the footboard and the headboard has to be manually assembled. I'm sure the manufacturer did this to keep the overall size of the box as small as possible. Other toddler beds that I have assembled came with the headboard and footboard already assembled, and the boxes were much bigger. The two lower frame board rails that run the length of the bed on each side took some time, because there are no pre-drilled holes for the wood screws that hold the metal brace in place to attach the middle support legs. My cordless drill helped with the assembly on those parts. The bed isn't hard to put together, but read the instructions closely, and look at the diagrams closely too, as none of the pieces are labeled. It took about an hour or a little more to assemble. The bed looks nice when finished, but it is obvious that this bed can't take too much abuse. Don't let any kids jump on the bed because the wooden slats that hold the mattress will surely break! You definately get what you pay for with a $69 bed.

We just got this bed for our 15 month old daughter and she loves it! It is the perfect size for her to crawl in and out by herself and the railings are positioned great to keep her from rolling out accidentally, but not keeping her "trapped" in bed. It looks really great in her room -good quality and it only took about 15 minutes to put together. Great price. I would really recommend this!

Durable Weather-Resistant Metal Rocking Seesaw

Durable Weather-Resistant Metal Rocking SeesawWe got the box for this seesaw and it must have been previously opened (more than 4 times) because the box was completely taped together as if it had been ripped open over and over. The screws they provided was a culmination of random screws thrown together in a taped up baggy with whatever they could just to get the item out the door. None of the screws matched, 18 washers too short, and the holes did not align at all with the set up to screw in. The directions didn't even match up with the type of screws, washers, or bolts provided. My husband is a construction engineer who has put together MANY items for our children. This by far was the most difficult and frustrating one.

Tonka Chuck & Friends Racin' Tucker The Pickup Truck

Tonka Chuck & Friends Racin' Tucker The Pickup TruckI purchased this dump truck for my two grandsons for Christmas. Of all the other things they received (and forgot) this is still a favorite. For 2 year old attention spans, this one exceeds the usual time spent with any one toy. They love it.

This truck appeared to be one of the bigger, soft Tonka's I have bought in the past. For the price, I expected it to be much larger, but it fits in my 19month old son's hand! I am dissappointed that I paid so much for it, but I should have read the reviews before jumping the gun on this purchase! Overall the toy is fine, my son enjoys playing with a truck!

*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.

Wee Gallery Twins Board Book

Wee Gallery Twins Board BookI rarely buy anything without feedback, but I think this was on sale for $2 so I took a chance. There is no story at all, just three words on each page silly names for each twin. I do think that very young babies might enjoy the black and white pictures, so it would probably be a cute shower gift for an expectant mother of twins, or newborn twins. But my 18 month old twins are not interested at all.

LITTLE SUZY'S ZOO Plush Crib MUSICAL MOBILE

LITTLE SUZY'S ZOO Plush Crib MUSICAL MOBILEI'm the mom of a 7 month old girl. I got this mobile, along with the rest of the Suzy's Zoo line of nursery decor, for my shower. Since I didn't know if I was having a boy or a girl, the cute little animals and neutral colors seemed ideal. Well, the room looks adorable, painted in the color of Boof the Bear's stomach and hand/feet pads. HOWEVER, because I chose to go with this theme, no other mobile seemed to look right in the room. Why am I giving you this whole story? The mobile, which was attached to the crib rail, SNAPPED AND FELL into the crib (narrowly missing the baby's head, I might add) when my daughter was 6 months old. I didn't even have her in the crib until she was 3 months, and I don't use the mobile for music AT ALL because I have another product attached to the crib with longer lasting, more consistently tempoed music. So why did it break? I BARELY brushed the arm with the baby's blanket. I have seen similar reviews about these mobiles on this website (same maker, different theme) but didn't believe (didn't want to!) that a light touch would break a properly installed mobile. Well, folks, it happened to me too! For over a month I have been trying to get the company, Dolly, to respond to my inquiries regarding obtaining a new attachment arm or a refund. They don't even bother to respond. Well, as a consumer, I guess I'll say that the loudest voice is the one that vibrates the wallet...so if you are looking for a cute product, buy this mobile; if you want cute and safe, look elsewhere!

Little Suzy's Zoo Music Mobile was a baby shower gift for my twins. It's cute, but that's about it. If you are looking for a long duration of a lullaby this is not the mobile to get. The lullaby is about two minutes long, which is not long enough to settle my set down. I had to get up and rewind it more often than I care to. After doing that for a couple of weeks I had to pull out one of my old mobiles that has survive three other children.

Buy LITTLE SUZY'S ZOO Plush Crib MUSICAL MOBILE Now

As with most mobiles on the market this mobile shares a similar flaw. If you have wide railed crib your mobile will have to be mounted to the wall. As far as quality, the product is made nicely with no lose strings. If your heart is set on mounting this mobile to your crib I would suggest you skip this particular styled mobile. However if you can settle for a wall mount then your infant will certainly enjoy these smiling faces looking down on them.

Our 3 month old just loves her Little Suzy's Zoo mobile!! Around 8-9 weeks of age she started smiling and laughing at "her friends" as they "danced" for her. Out of all of the toys that our little one has she enjoys this mobile the most. Everytime we lay her down in bed she smiles and laughs! This is a must have for the Little Suzy's Zoo themed room!! We plan on cutting the animals off of the mobile when she pulls herself up in bed so she can play with her fellas as stuffed animals.

This mobile is adorable. It's a great addition to a cute baby nursery. The only conflict is when it comes to a decision about whether to go with a cute mobile or a more educationally centered one. Personally, it was more importent to me to surround my baby with soothing friendly images. You can always buy educational toys.

Baby Luv Nightlight and Music Turtle

Baby Luv Nightlight and Music TurtleMaybe just a fluke, but one of the turtles didn't work. Brand new, out of the box, and we couldn't turn it on or off. After playing with it for a period of time we are able to finally get it to work but our three year old is not able to operate it on her own. Also, each turtle has a hole in it to use an ac adapter to plug it in. The turtles didn't come with a cord though.

We bought this for our baby for Christmas. He hasn't gotten to use it much because his siblings keep taking it from him. Our 2 year old and 4 year old love it! It's a sweet little turtle and works as a great nightlight. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is that the music is echo-y and loud. There is a switch to turn the music to a lower volume but it doesn't turn it down enough. I would think for an infant it would need a quieter setting. Also a timer for the light to dim and shut off would be an excellent feature. Overall we like it.

Western Diva Toddler / Child Costume

Western Diva Child Costume Size SmallI ordered a costume on 9-26-09. I was charged for the product immediately. 2 weeks went by, and I hadn't recieved the product. I called Zoogster co. assured me it was on its way. Well a month went by, it still hadn't come. I try to call and the line is busy for hours. I finally talk to someone and they tell me they no longer have the product and he assures me he will refund the money. He did not have the athority to refund but he personally would take care of it. Well, I still haven't recieved my refund. I had to order the same product by another company and I already have it. It was a couple dollars cheaper too.

First off, I have to say I researched cowgirl costumes and this was the cutest I could find for my four year old girl.

When it came, she was thrilled with it. I, however was disappointed as it looked somewhat different than the picture and the quality of the fabric and stitching was lower than I'd hoped. The skirt in the picture shows light pink cow spots that match the top. On my daughter's version, the cow spots are a brighter fuschia pink, about 10 or more shades different than the top and the spots are bigger, which makes it look cheaper.

Oh well, I thought, my daughter loves it and didn't want me to send it back. It did fit her perfectly, which pleased me. She wore it twice and already the stitching is unraveling in places. I am disappointed because for the same price I have bought costumes at Costco and Old Navy that I know will hold up for years to come. This one looks like my daughter wore it every day for months. The fake "Leather" strings that hang down are unraveled and the satin top has water stains. I am afraid to wash it since I think it might just fall apart completely in the washer.

I think it's cute, but I wish it were much better quality.
