Fisher-Price Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Safari Truck

Fisher-Price Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Safari TruckWe bought all the pieces for the "Zoo Talkers" and this truck is by far the favorite! I should have purchased two so there wouldn't be any fights!! They love to load up the truck with as many animals as they can and push the truck all around the house. The truck doesn't recognize the animals, but it does make noises when the driver is pressed in the front seat. If your child likes the Zoo Talkers Zoo set, they will probably enjoy this truck for transporting all those animals around.

My 2 year old received this as a birthday present and he loves it. I'm glad that it came with two more zoo talker animals to go with the zoo he already has. It was really easy to get out of the package too. I kinda wish it didn't come with another "Eddie" character. But it really doesn't matter. My son is happy to play with it anyway. You press on the driver to hear sounds and music.

Great toy, I foresee lots of fun playing with it.

My 18 month old daughter loves this truck. She loves to put things in it and roll it around on the floor. This is her first experience with imagination play and independent play. She has been playing with this, and the Zoo, and other Zoo Talkers animals for about 4 months now. She is a big fan. I love how durable it all is, and how well they work together. She could play with these toys for hours. Also, they are fun for me to play with with her. I can't say that for all her toys. Some get really boring for me. These are always entertaining.

This was purchased as an addition to the Zoo. It is a good supplemental piece to the set and is very sturdy as are most of Fisher Price products. The giraffe is very cute and is my granddaughter's favorite animal that she is thus far.

Mary Meyer Cheery Cheeks Hooray Horse, 12"

Mary Meyer Cheery Cheeks Hooray Horse, 12'This little horse is my 13 month old daughter's FAVORITE toy. Purchased as a gift, when I gave it to her she grabbed her, hugged her and hasn't let go since. We've named her Cheryl and she has been a wonderful addition to our little one's daily activities. At one point we realized it's all fun and games until someone pukes on Cheryl and she was going to need a little more than a simple wipe down. I popped her in a mesh bag and washed her on gentle cycle in the washer, air dried her and she was as good as new she's a tough little horse! Mary Meyer plush toys have proven to be of very high quality and we have been thrilled all of the toys we have from them!

Pack of 150 pcs Crush-Proof non-PVC Plastic Phthalate Free Ball Pit Balls in 5 Colors - 3.1' Air-Filled - Guaranteed Crush-ProofBought this for our niece and she is having a great time with them. Wanted to add to the ones we got along with the ball pit we bought her.

We bought a ball pit for our 2yr & 1yr old grandsons which came with about 20 balls, which isn't enough balls at all. So, we bought the additional 150 crush-proof balls which is the perfect amount. The kids had a blast. These balls are definitely "crush-proof". I recommend this product!

Spin Around Sit and Spin

Spin Around Sit and SpinPurchased this product for my 2 year old at the recommendation of my daughter's occupational therapist. It is made very well and I like that it does not have any bells and whistles (ie flashing lights or sounds). Would definately recommend this product to another parent.

This is the same kind of basic sit-n-spin we grew up with in the 70s. There are no bells or whistles as in the interactive ones. No TV character marketing. For our kids this is just fine and just as fun. The spin how and when they want. Our children were able to use this as young as 16 mo.

I got this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. I chose it after reading the bad reviews on the Sit-n-Spin. This toy spins beautifully, even on carpet, no goofy characters on it like Dora or Diego. A+++ from this family!

Read Best Reviews of Spin Around Sit and Spin Here

I bought this after looking at the reviews for the Sit n Spin.(the real Sit n Spins don't get great reviews) I chose this particular model because it was like the Sit n Spins used to be when I was a kid-I loved them, surely my children would love it too. They do like it. In fact, sometimes they fight over who gets to ride it! (Guess I should have bought 2)

To me, it's not as fast as they used to be (or maybe it wasn't that good then but I was a kid and it was cool anyway), it's not very good on carpet but then I'm not riding it. (Please let me know when an adult size is available :) )

Overall, it is a toy that my kids really like and really I would purchase again.

UPDATE: All the fighting over it took it's toll. They broke the column that links the handle to the seat dispint the durablity (I have really rough children). So I called Kaplan, to see about a replacement part. They were so great that they sent me a BRAND NEW ONE!!! They didn't even charge me shipping. I would definatley recommend this item and Kaplan Learning Company.

When my children were small in the mid-late 70's I bought them the toy then known as a Sit N Spin, one of the very best toy investments I ever made. There is a similar product out now but has an oval seating area that does not work nearly so well as the original so my daughter and I have searched for something closer to the old product. This is it! I bought this for my 15 month old grandson, anticipating that he would take some time learning to "spin" it; he has grasped the concept very well already and is having great fun with it. His older sister, age 4, is having even more fun and the two can sit and spin together, if arranged just right. Excellent toy, much fun, and teaches coordination...and sharing!

Cuddle Pull

Cuddle  PullI bought this for my son who is three months. He loves it! The bright colors attract his attention, and he loves staring at and talking to his Giraffe. As he gets older, he will be able to pull the legs, arms, and head. I see him using this toy for a long time.

My daughter loves this toy. It is soft and has a friendly face. At this stage she especially enjoys the hoofs they are great to chew and make crinkly noises. The movable legs and neck are hilarious.

Pirate Parrot Costume

Pirate Parrot Costume Size 12-18 MonthsI loved this costume!!!! It was a perfect addition for a family of pirates. I had originally ordered it online from Party City with a few other things. The website never mentioned when I purchased it that it was on backorder, just never sent it in the box with my other items. I had to call and ask where my costume was! Amazon luckily had it no problems just in time for Halloween. My 13 month old son was adorable in it! Glad I went with a 2T as it ran small.

Cute costume big brother was a pirate little brother a pirate parrot. True to size. Boots didn't want to stay on but that was the child's issue

I bought this costume for my 2 yr. old son. It fit him like a glove...but with very little extra room. The material was soft & he loved wearing the head part. We ended up buying a sword to go with it. Very happy with the costume & it was adorable!

I odered my sons costme only a week prior to halloween, on a Monday. and the site had actualy told me the delivery time wouldn't be until after halloween. of course i began to panick. but that saturday it got to me. i was so excited! so it took only 5 days to get to me. about the way this costume is made. i do like it, but it was really thin and i wasn't expecting ito be that thin. had to bundle him up in sweats before i put the actual costume on him. and i wish the head piece was attached to the actual costume like a hood rather than it wrapping around his head and showing his undershirt through the costume. im just picky about those types of things. but for the price i paid i was very very pleased with this purchase. and my son looked so adorable in it. i also dressed up as a pirate :)

Mary Meyer Baby Cheery Cheeks Soft Toy

Mary Meyer Baby Cheery Cheeks Soft Toy, Hop Hop FrogI purchased Cheery Cheeks, Tails the Monkey in the hopes that my 10mth old daughter would use it as a cuddly comforter. She is now 13mths old and it is her best friend and sleeps with her daily. Best purchase I have made. I have bought 2 and I am now purchasing my 3rd as a back up for when the others are dirty & in the wash.

The only negative I have is that the material on the front is a bit thin and is wearing very quickly from regular use. But in saying that my baby girl would crawl everywhere with it. She is now walking so it may not wear as quick.

Overall a very soft, amazingly cute cuddly toy that my daughter adores.

Very quite and soft my friends baby grabs this all the time and cuddles with it to take her nap

This cow is super cute and very soft! When my daughter sees it, she smiles. Now she is too young to play with it (almost 4 months) but I am sure she will do in the near future!

I will probably buy more stuffed animals from Mary Meyer as soon as she starts playing with them.

Playskool Sesame Street Figures 2-Pack - Cookie Monster and Telly

Playskool Sesame Street Figures 2-Pack - Cookie Monster and TellyFast shipping quality items. Completed our set for the grandson for his house. They are durable for a 15 month old to abuse! Lol

The figures aren't built to stay secure in the companion bus, so there's not much manipulation for a toddler. I'd been expecting a developmental or educational component. But it's a flimsy set, made to advertise Sesame Street.

Plus, it shipped here faster than the expected ship day, it got here in three days! It gave me an estimated shipping time of 4-14 days.

Sassy LeapFrog Baby Colors and Tunes Octopus

Sassy LeapFrog Baby Colors and Tunes OctopusI 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.

Dr. Seuss One Fish Pull Musical Toy

Dr. Seuss One Fish Pull Musical ToyI bought this among a few other music boxes when I discovered my daughter loved to pull things that made sound at 4 months. This, like the others, was not what I was looking for, but I kept it in hopes that it would be appreciated later. The fish is so fat, that my daughter, at 18 months, would probably still need to use both hands to pull this down. Honestly though, I don't know if she has ever pulled this music box because the velcro is so weak it can barely keep up itself let alone withstand the pulling of the fish to make the music box go. I know this is somewhere in my daughter's room, but I can't remember the last time I came across it. We love Dr. Seuss, but this one missed the mark.

Tek Nek Rockin Rider Legacy Grow With Me Plush Animated Pony

Tek Nek Rockin Rider Legacy Grow With Me Plush Animated PonyI just wanted to share my experience with this pony and with Tek Nek. We've had this pony for almost a year, we purchased as a Christmas present last year for our then 15 month old son. Our son loves this pony, and is one of only a few toys that he has never lost interest in. Like another reviewer, I too had concerns with the durability of the pony's ears, since that's how my son activated the talking and singing, by yanking HARD on both the pony's ears. I can report, that almost a year later, though the ears are a little mishappen and no longer stand up, there is not one rip or popped seam! That being said, we did end up having an issue with part of the frame on the base of the pony. Approximately 4-5 months after we converted the frame to the "big boy" setting, I noticed that the knobs on the inner frame pieces where the rubber bands attach started to pull inward from the force of the bands. The knobs eventually split at the base and tore halfway off. I went to the Tek Nek website to try to find where I could purchase replacement parts for the two inner frame pieces, but had no luck. I then sent an email to Tek Nek from their website explaining the problem and how much it would cost to buy the replacement parts I needed. Well, I can tell you how surprised and thrilled I was that not only did I receive a response to my email within a few hours, but was told that if I gave them my shipping address, they would send me the parts I needed for no additional charge. After giving my address, I received the replacement parts in just a few days. Thanks Tek Nek for a great product and outstanding customer service!

First off, if you can get a second set of hands to help you assemble this then save your sanity and get their help. It is super easy and quick to set up (few peices) but attaching the pony to the base requires more than two hands because you are working against the rubber bands that the pony uses to bounce. I managed to do it alone but it was after many bangs, bruises, and swear words. I read reviews on a similar bouncing/rocking horse (Radio Flyer) and this product seems to be not only easier to assemble, but of better quality.

The moving pony mouth is barely noticable but the sounds and songs are very clear. The voice that does the phrases and song is weird. I won't say more you listen and come up with your own judgment. It makes my baby smile though. My son is only eight months so he isn't technically old enough for it yet. He is somewhat big for his age and loves to bounce and jump so he's already moving on the pony. I just stay nearby in case he needs help balancing. Given the personality and play preferences of my son, I think this toy will be around for a long time at least until he is old enough to graduate to a big boy bouncy horse.

I bought this Pony for my Godson/GrandNephew and he loves it. He's 1 year old

and was able to adjust to it right away. It's fun, durable and soft to his touch. He also loves the animated noises it makes. Great product, highly recommended.

Read Best Reviews of Tek Nek Rockin Rider Legacy Grow With Me Plush Animated Pony Here

This is a soft and cute singing pony. He only has one song unfortunately. It doesn't really rock well because the rocker part is not bowed enough so maybe they should name it 'Slightly tilt back and forth Rider'. Other than that, I like its ability to transform to accommodate my growing toddler and the extra waist support to keep babies from falling off.

Want Tek Nek Rockin Rider Legacy Grow With Me Plush Animated Pony Discount?

We purchased this toy about 3 months ago. It went together easy enough with 2 people. The toy seems fairly well built. My son loves it. There is only one problem. The buttons to make it sing and talk are in the ears. My son (currently 16 months old) has learned that if he grabs the ears and pulls them it will make noise. He loves it. There are two major problems with this design, however.

The first is that he is quite strong and I do not think it will be long before he rips the ears off.

Second and worse, this toy taught him that grabbing the ears and yanking them is a good thing which will cause the toy to make noise. Due to this toy my son also learned that my 2 dogs work the same way. My dogs don't even want to be in the same room as my son anymore and whenever they are together we have to keep getting onto my son to keep him from yanking the dogs ears.

This could have been easily avoided by putting buttons on the neck or head instead of in the ears. It is totally frustrating.

I do not recommend this toy for anyone who has pets.

Dandelion Pink Organic Toy Flower Book

Dandelion Pink Organic Toy Flower BookI gave this as a baby shower gift with other organice clothes. It was the hit of the shower as it made a crunchy noise and was cute and for a baby girl.

My daughter liked it at first but now is bored with it. Its cute but my main issue is that she wants to 'teeth' on everything and this frustrates her because she cant get it in her mouth to bite on easily. She sort of flattens it on her face instead of biting the edges and gets really mad.

LeapFrog Peek-A-Shoe Octopus

LeapFrog Peek-A-Shoe OctopusThis toy really excited me when I first saw it, because it's a really great concept. Unfortunately, the LeapFrog Peek-A-Shoe may actually do our little girl more harm than good. I say that because unless you: 1. Have it on a perfectly flat surface. 2. Drop just one ball in very carefully. 3. Wait patiently for the right time to drop the next ball, it won't necessarily give the correct information. For example, when it congratulates your child for pulling a ball out from under the red shoe when they actually lifted the yellow one. This happens A LOT! And forget about this getting even 1/4 of the answers right if you set it on carpet, as about any little movement on any individual shoe will set it off.

Also, as mentioned by others, it's a very flimsy toy. Very light, very thin, and I have my doubts that it will last long with our 18-month old. I might also note that the photos on the box are a huge misrepresentation. They make the toy look huge next to the child, and it's not

*Please note my updated comment below*

This is a great concept, but fails in design. The shoes pop on and my son just pulls them off all the time with ease. It says you can store the balls inside but they just fall into the shoes, so when you lift the octopus to store it, or if you knock it the balls just spill all over. If you even slightly tip the whole toy while playing with it; it can tell you that you've looked under the wrong shoe while you did look under the correct one. I think this is the first toy I've ever been disappointed with from Leapfrog.

Buy LeapFrog Peek-A-Shoe Octopus Now

My 1 year old likes to drop the balls into the two holes and listen to the songs, but the design and stability are poor. The shoes come off with a gentle tug. The toy also falls back easily because the balance is all on the front. I think Leap Frog is losing it's previously good reputation by producing junk like this and using the same recorded voices.

This may be the first educational toy I've seen that is a 7 legged octopus. Something a little off about that. Thankfully the age group it's targeted to will never realize it. This plastic toy isn't as sturdy as I'd like but is still fun for your little one. Pop a ball in and guess to see where it'll come out. Simple concept. Good for teaching matching colors and numbers. Nice that it has an on/off switch for the music too, sometimes mom and dad need a break from the loud toys!

Disney Princess Book and Toy Organizer

Disney Princess Book and Toy OrganizerI like how this one has two functions, the top section for books and the bottom section for toys; However, the bins at the bottom do not allow easy access to their contents; you have to pull them out completely to get to the contents, and my 2-yr-old does not know how to put it back afterwards; these bins are supposed to allow kids to easily take out their toys and put them back when done, this one (with the pulling of the bins in and out) may more suitable for older kids.

Very cute product but very small. The drawers do not slide in and out very easily and tend to fall through the bottom

of the shelf. The price is to much for the size.

Read the dimensions before buying. Yes it is small but it is a perfect size for my 18 month old twins. They love this so far and are quickly learning to put their books and toys away when they are done with them.

Mary Meyer Cheery Cheeks Lil' Mossy Moose 7"

Mary Meyer Cheery Cheeks Lil' Mossy Moose 7'Moose was originally purchased about two years ago for my infant daughter. In that time period Moose has become an indispensable member of the family.

Lamaze Dream Screen

Lamaze Dream ScreenOur seven-week-old loves this. First, the visuals are hypnotic (at least to her). She loves watching the display cycle through the four seasons and the effect seems to soothe her.

The volume on the built-in music that comes with this is on the loud side, I guess, but everything I've ever read has told me that babies are used to noise (womb noise is louder than a vacuum cleaner) so I never thought it would keep our little one from falling asleep and it hasn't.

Meanwhile, the MP3 feature is very cool, and I made a special mix on my iPod just for our baby to listen to as she falls asleep. When you use your own MP3 player or iPod, you can adjust the volume as high or low as you'd like it because the volume on your device controls the volume on the toy.

I think other parents (and babies) would enjoy this product.

I have a 2 year old who I thought this would be perfect for. She likes soothing things to help her go to sleep. But this is not soothing. It is so loud that she can't fall asleep to it and there is no way to lower the volume. I suppose if I hooked an mp3 player up to it that I could adjust the volume on the mp3 player itself, but haven't tried it yet.

She rarely uses it (just when she and her sister are playing house).

Oh and it makes a whirring and clicking sound as the scene moves. Real annoying.

The battery is a big bulky thing that connects to the screen through the bars and with any amount of tugging on the screen the battery falls right off onto the floor. The screen also shakes and doesnt run smoothly. Not at all the quality I was expecting.

My son absolutely loves this thing. I do have to say there is one down side to this. If you have a sleigh crib with the back that curves not the sides. You have to put this on the side where you let your bar up and down. Not only does it look tacky but it's not functional there. Also, sometimes you have to tap it a little hard to get it to turn on again (with new batteries). But my son loves to watch this so I would have to say all in all it's worth the money.

I purchased this for my 4 month old grandson for a 1300 mile drive he was making with our family. We were in the car for about 11 hours a day. My goal was to give him enough different items to look at while on the long drive to keep his interest and keep in from getting bored and therefore cranky. I was able to attach this to the headrest of the seat he was in with little problems. But, he got bored with it very quickly and maybe that is the goal to help a child go to sleep.

This product plays a couple of tunes over and over again and the "scene" changes from spring, summer, fall, and winter with a light show in the background. Basically, the scene is on a scroll.

It will hook up just fine to his crib from IKEA and I am sure he will get some enjoyment out of it. The product was made well and it is actually larger than I expected.
