Munchkin Wonder Waterway Bath Tub Toy

Munchkin Wonder Waterway Bath Tub ToyI love how the only two five star reviews are from people who ordered it to give as a gift and have never even seen the toy in use! Uh...does it help anyone to know that it looks like the picture? We received this as a gift, from someone who thought it looked fun. It does look fun.

This toy doesn't work, and it never has worked for us.

The idea is cute: fill up the cup on top, and it will trickle down causing the top section to whirl, the middle section the move little balls around, and the final section to spin. On ours, only the penguin part works. Our penguin stays up pretty well, so it can collapse if you want it to, but you can also watch the interior twirl. It does twirl a little, kind of slowly.

If you fill the middle section, it has trouble filling, and then it has trouble draining. The balls do nothing. It does rattle when empty, but...this is a bath toy that doesn't do anything special in the water.

If you fill the bottom section, it drains out the bottom. The thing in the middle does not spin.

If you keep the pieces connected, on ours, the top twirls minimally. Nothing else happens at all. If you separate the pieces, the starfish part in the middle drains with a pattern. Sometimes. If the water doesn't get stuck. The fish on bottom still does nothing.

I think we're probably just going to throw this away. If you're considering buying this (for your kiddo or as a gift) save your money or buy something else. Anything else. Worst Bath Toy Ever!

I bought these in a large retail store for my son, who really had no bath toys. He is the third child and most of the toys we had were just plain gross and we threw them out. He went crazy for this toy when he saw it in the package and it was reasonably priced, so I bought it.

This was fun for the first bath, but after that, it really didn't work anymore. The parts do drain well, which is very nice. However, if they get any soap stuck in them from bubbles, etc, the inside pieces get stopped up and will not turn. The pieces still float, are easy to find in the tub and can be shaken, etc, but the main point of the toy is lost.

The penguin piece collapses when it is not being held up so that the spiral is not showing most of the time. This was not a problem, really, it is just not clear in the picture.

I purchased this because my son was getting bored of his "baby" toys in the bath tub. He really loves water coming out of things and I figured he'd like to see things spin when water went through them. Unfortunately these toys don't really do much. If you have them pulled apart they work better than when they're together. Not sure if this is meant to sit under the faucet, but when you fill the top one with water, it doesn't do anything for the whole toy.

There are better bath toys out there. They look cute but that's about it. Kids sort of like them but by far not their favorites.

It didn't entertain my daughter one bit, the water doesn't even come out in an even flow. Not good at all.

Squeak E. Mouse Learn to Dress Doll

Squeak E. Mouse Learn to Dress DollI bought this doll for my daughter's first birthday. She is still a little to young for it, as she just wants to chew on it. I think she will appreciate it more in a few months. Great learning potential.

I didn't give this mouse 5 stars because the button was impossible for an adult to unbutton until I cut the buttonhole a little larger but it is cuter than those people dress me dolls! I am going to sew velcro on the pocket flap that has nothing to learn on it. The zipper would be easier to use if I sew snaps to keep the jacket ends down, but I think with practice, the child I bought this for will figure it out and then be undressing herself....It is okay, just needs a little more work to make it more useful.

I would recommend this for little girls OR boys, the funky colors are so fun! My daughter loves how the mouse can wear a hood lol It's great that it can be washed in the machine too because she carries it around with her every where!!

Want Squeak E. Mouse Learn to Dress Doll Discount?

I was debating between this and the Monkey sold by another brand. I ended up choosing Mousey because there were some complaints about quality on the monkey. When he arrived, I was really pleased with the quality. But the most important thing is that my 20 mo son LOVES Mousey. Right now he mostly plays with his hood and his zipper, but we've been showing him how to work the buckle and button, and he'll pick those up soon. But Mousey has also become one of my son's favorite stuffed toys, aside from all of the learning options. My only criticism is that I wish the second pocket had velcro instead of just being open. But that's something I can fix easily on my own.

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Take-Along Play Blanket

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Take-Along Play BlanketI brought this blanket for my daughter-in-law. The ability to carry this product all folded into the zebra was a great plus.. easy to take with you and have an immediate blanket to place baby on.Interactive toys will be great as she gets older all in one package. I think any young mum would find this handy to have and it makes for a great gift idea as well.

Bought this for my nephew and my sister tells me that they both put it to good use, the blanket is fleece soft, highly recommend for newborns or apparently moms as well.

Lamaze Freddie The Firefly Musical Mobile

Lamaze Freddie The Firefly Musical MobileI ordered this after spending a few weeks looking for a stimulating mobile that would look OK in my baby's room. I just hooked it up for my son who is 2.5 months and he loves it! He smiles and laughs, with arms and legs moving like crazy. Plus, the design isn't too overwhelming. I definitely recommend this to all parents looking for an engaging, stimulating mobile. It's become a go-to toy. Hard to tell if it will ever put him to sleep, but the 20-30 minutes of engagement (read quiet time) is totally worth the $40.

I had really high hopes for this item so I guess that is why I am so disappointed with it.

This moves too slow and the motion it does is not easily viewable when laying upside down in a crib.

My son loves the look of it and the colors but is otherwise bored with this. This mobile hangs from a plastic arm that curves outward over the crib. If you are there with your child, you can push it so it swings back and forth while the butterfly goes up and down. If you do not do that, I do not believe this will provide enough stimulation for you child while in the crib looking up.

To fix this, the motorized motion should swing the arm left to right while also having the butterfly go up and down with its wings. Barring that, I find this completely lacking and in my case, did not live up to expectations nor did it adequately entertain my son.

Buy Lamaze Freddie The Firefly Musical Mobile Now

This thing is WONDERFUL! It's HUGE, well made, and my son LOVES it. He will sit under it and just coo and babble at it for a good 30 minutes. The best part? It doesn't even need to be on! The patterns and colors captivate him enough. When I turn it on, and the music plays, and the wings flap, he absolutely loses it! He doesn't stop smiling and kicking his legs and arms. We're both VERY, VERY, happy with this product!

The only things I don't like:

You have to manually change the songs. While the songs are cute, and not as annoying as most other mobiles, I don't really want to listen to the same one for 15 or 30 minutes.

There is no mute button. There are two volume levels; "soft" or "deafening". Okay, it's really not *that* loud, but it's pretty loud, and there's no way to turn it on the quieter setting first. It always plays the first song at the highest volume.

The firefly, itself, doesn't spin. There's nothing that says it does, but it would be nice if it did. It just dangles from a hook on the arm and sometimes my son just needs that little extra movement to keep his attention. But, it's nothing a little manual spinning doesn't solve. It'd just be nice if it did it on it's own.

The arm that hangs over the bed wiggles back and forth A LOT. While I'm sure it's not going to break off, I would feel better if it were a bit more steady.

The wings are a little difficult to switch. My son is easily captivated by the different sides, but sometimes he favors one over the other. It's not that big of a deal, the joints are just a little snug (which wouldn't be a complaint if I didn't want to switch them :P)

Unlike most mobiles where a child lying in a crib only sees a odd shapes floating by, this mobile fully captures my son's attention for long periods. Love that the wings on it flip over so different patterns are visible to meet the needs of different ages high contrast for newborns. I can't say enough good things about this mobile!

Lovely painting; good quality!I fell the cup accidently in our kitchen; it is still all right.

The blue lid for the cup did not fit at first sight, no matter how hard I tried:( But after dishwasher uppack, it fits well:)

I also found a small dent in the cup and a few tiny black dots against the white background; excluded which this could be a 5 star product!

GoDog Mini Baby Dragon Dog Toy with Chew Guard

Sherpa Baby Dragon Periwinkle Dog Toy with Chew Guard Go DogMy 1 year old mini labradoodle goes CRAZY for plushed toys.. and he will IMMEDIATELY dive into any cute looking toy and try to ruin it. I don't exactly know how many plushed toys he's gone through already, buts its A LOT -so I went on the quest to try and find a cute, tough toy. I've bought him Nyla Bones, Orca petstages, etc.. but the thing is with those toys, he can only chew on them and now really fling it around like a stuffed animal.. SO, I've also bought him toys with no-stuffing, but he still seemed to ruin the heck out of it.. to the point where you can't even recognize the toy anymore.

Moving on... I started asking around for what would be the perfect toy for him. A lady recommended this toy that was made out of fire hose material -great.. but it wasn't cute.. and he seemed to have ruined it within a month. Then, another lady recommended a toy that was made with 100% boiled wool. I thought it was going to be tough as well, but boy was I wrong... the minute that I gave him this toy, the ear was gone already. SIGH.

I really lost all hope on finding a toy that I would think he can actually have forever. But then.... this Go Dog Baby Dragon came into our lives. Not only was it cute, but super appealing because of the "Chew Guard Technology". DEEP DOWN INSIDE, I was thinking that he would ruin it once more... but I had hope.. so, I gave it to him..... and........................... nothing. :) NOTHING came out. Nothing was chewed off. I can't rave how much I love this! and I can't wait to buy more toys from this company! Hoooray!

I had read reviews for these products and thought that maybe i could try them. Though I had my doubts when I saw how many appenages (arms, legs, tail, wings) that the doll has. Before I gave this toy to my dog, I noticed on the tag that it was to have a pull weight of 40kg. My dog is a border collie mix that weighs about 40 pounds, medium sized dog, but very energetic, and can be quite clever.

So here is what happened when I got it:

I gave the doll to my dog (Tess). After I gave her this toy, she started to go off with it, but then paused and looked at me for permission..."yes, I bought it for you, let's see how long it lasts". And off she went. By minute eleven, I heard seams ripping. by minute 18, she had the squeaky part out and left the dragon alone with only a hole in the tail where she performed her mini-surgery. The squeaker system in this toy involved foam and a plastic bag, which I then had to clean up foam peices.....I was not impressed with this. Tess' favorite part of her toys is the squeakers that she removes then carries around the house whining about, so I'm pretty sure she was disappointed with this, though I was somewhat glad to not have the whining part and her wanting me to throw a slobbery peice of squeaky plastic. The rest of the dragon is still together and she occassionally plays with it.

I like this doll as it is very cute and so far she hasn't totally destroyed it, but I would not recommend it as impenetrable to someone with a dog that approaches her toys by dissecting them the way mine does. She does not pull on them in particular, but lays down with them and chews on the same spot and works on it until she can rip the seems apart and "destuff" the toy. If your dog does this, don't expect it to hold up long. The rest of the dragon is still together so far and quite cute, but it has only been about a week, so we'll see if she goes back for the head or feet later....

I purchased 2 of each color of these for Christmas presents and I couldn't be more pleased. My 1 year old Border Collie is known as the "reverse taxidermist" as she un-stuffs all of her toys within a few days. But she hasn't been able to rip these apart after a whole month. The double seams and chew guard technology really work! And they're soft & cute and cuddly and come in really vibrant colors besides being super strong. A great price too!

Want GoDog Mini Baby Dragon Dog Toy with Chew Guard Discount?

We have a Golden Retriever and an Irish Setter who have typically destroyed plush toys within a few days usually when they both want the same toy and have a tug-a-war until it's ripped into pieces. These are the first plush toys we've found that the dogs haven't been able to rip apart and they've had them for over 2 months now.

These dragons have become our dog's favorite toys and are always out of their toybox. I think the textured surface and the squealing sound they make drive the dogs nuts. They run around squeaking them in a frenzy, shaking them, growling and tossing them in the air as if they had caught a real, live pink dragon with blue wings. All-in-all, these are the best dog toys I have found for indoor play.

Lamaze Classic Discovery Book

Lamaze Classic Discovery BookWe have found this toy most enjoyable to use to interact with hour six-month-old daughter. She has loved this item since receiving it at 4 months. The colorful designs, varied textures and sounds capture her attention and hold it for long stretches of time. She has a number of other highly-rated toys for grabbing/mouthing/rattling, but this one is definitely her favorite.

This book is beyond adorable and my 3 month old loves it. Each page is made of a different fabric and the whole book makes crunchy noises when he grabs it. I love that it's something soft he can chew on. He will play with it for 30 min at a time sometimes!

This book is super cute and every single page has a different texture and sound for my baby to play with. It looks as cute as in the pictures, if not better, and my baby lives it.

I have only 1 complaint about it: it is NOT machine washable. My baby loves to suck on everything and this book is not the exception, specially because it crinkles when he does. Unfortunately there is no easy way to clean this thoroughly since it is surface clean only. Other than that it would be a 5 star book.

We got this book for my nephew who is 7 months old and he seemed to like it. It is basically in the batch of books out there that is fabric and has some different textures to touch, and I would say the same thing about all of them. I think these are great books for little ones that like to chew on things and he can't rip the pages or hurt himself so it is easy to recommend this book.

He especially loves the front and back pages because they crinkle.

Safety 1st Paisley Pond Pals

Safety 1st Paisley Pond PalsThis is good. Nothing too special. My daughter has fun playing with them, but she has more fun with other bath toys.

I always buy my small grandchildren outfits for birthdays & Christmas, but add a toy to top the gift off. (They're not too excited about clothes, but the parents are). My two yr. old granddaughter can't wait for her Myrtle Beach trip & take these Pond Pals along. They're adorable, and the bright primary colors appeal to any tot. But, until 'beach time', the Pond Pals must settle for the bathtub.

Want Safety 1st Paisley Pond Pals Discount?

Unusual but very nice. These "pals" nest into each other and are really intriguing for my 11-month old. He hasn't quite figured out nesting, but he's enchanted by watching water fall through the holes and some of the critters are a good size for scooping water onto him or his hair during bathtime. He likes banging them on the edge of the tub but they're very sturdy so far (had them two months.) They dry nicely and so far show no signs of mold (very important to us since we live in warm Hawaii and our bathroom has no natural source of sunlight or fresh air! :( )

Anyway, these really aren't anything fancy, noisy or super smart, but they're very cute, teachable and likable. (The only thing I would recommend to change would be that the insides of the creatures be painted, too, since that's the side that baby sees most.)
