The Invisible Man Monster Shredder Toy

The Invisible Man Monster Shredder ToyMy grandson is really into skateboarding and monsters, so he was super excited about this little toy. It is very sturdy and I have no doubt it will survive not only this 6 yr old little boy, but many more. I am really surprised by the "tricks" and stunts he can do with this toy using his fingers. If fun is not enough reason to buy a toy, then realize that every child needs to practice dexterity!

Intex Recreation Lively Print Swim Ring #59230 - Color May Very

Intex Recreation 59230EP Lively Print Swim RingThe swim ring is nice and a little better quality than the dollar store variety. You only get 1 of the 3 rings pictured and you can't pick the pattern.

Our two year old twins love playing with these at the beach or kiddie pool. In fact, at the pool, it was really the only toy that got them in the water and moving. At the beach, the play on them, in them, toss them like frisbees, and more. They seem durable, inflate easily, deflate easily, and have cute prints. My only complaint is that we received three of the exact same pattern, no choice was given with regards to a pattern we might like to select, and so we have three of the same thing. On the other hand, my twins don't argue over which tube to play with.

We have a 15 foot Easy Set Pool from Intex. This is a perfect size floaty for the kids and adults alike. Many other floats take up too much room in the pool. The swim ring is not very large but will still hold up an adult.

The product description is misleading!

I thought I was ordering three (3) swimming rings as shown in the image.

However, only one (1) ring showed up. I did not have any choice of which ring I am getting. So you might end up with a design that you might now like. Product is ok, nothing fancy. The usual swimming ring.

Assurance Waddlers Rubber Duck Family-toy bathtub rubber duck mallard that floats upright-rubber du

Assurance Waddlers Rubber Duck Family-toy bathtub rubber duck mallard that floats upright-rubber ducky birthday party baby shower favor gift-all depts.gift nature birds loversSo, I wanted to buy an adult rubber duck for my toddler, because there is a song about a mother duck and her ducklings that we sing in the bath. The thing is, adult ducks aren't yellow; they aren't just really big baby ducks, but you would never know that from looking at the market of rubber duckies. This is the only bath ducky that I could find that looks like an adult duck. (FYI: Do not Google "adult rubber duck" and especially do not Google " adult rubber mallard"). Bonus for this duck is that it always floats upright. It is nice to have a bath toy that isn't always "eating" as my daughter says, or "dead" as they look to the rest of the world when they float with their bellies up. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

VTech - Touch & Turn Tunes

VTech - Touch & Turn TunesI bought this for my daughter when she was about 8 months old. She played with it for a few months mainly because it plays music. She got most of her entertainment from turning it upside down instead of pushing or pulling the animals themselves. It is not very intuitive on how to change the settings on it and it gets very repetitive really fast. Also if you don't turn it off, it will start playing in the middle of the night for no reason whatsoever.

Munchkin Twisty Figure 8 Teether

Munchkin Twisty Figure 8 TeetherMy DD loved this toy/teether when she was younger--and every now and then you could catch her dad or I twisting it around, too :) For the price and entertainment value I think it is a great thing to keep in your diaper/travel bag--lots of texture, movement, color and fun in such a little package! I have bought a couple as gifts for new moms since... all thank me and say what a great gift it is, and they never would have thought to buy it or ask for it.

Only drawback for me--cleaning it. There are tiny little gaps in between the pieces that twist, so for me I didn't think a run through the dishwasher was good enough. I usually boiled it for 5-10 mins or so every couple of days in addition to the dishwasher... but maybe I'm just a little OCD! Package says not to dishwasher/boil it, but I didn't have any issues from doing so.

I bought this from Babies "R'' Us when my son started putting everything in his mouth. The teether has 4 soft rubber sections, each with different textures. It also rattles and can be bent in a number of different ways. The teether is easy for my son to grasp and twist. He enjoys chewing on the rubber sections and likes to throw it to hear rattle sounds. The teether is very easy to clean, just hand wash and air dry. It is small enough to throw in the diaper bag and entertaining enough to occupy my son during car rides, doctor's office visits, etc.

Buy Munchkin Twisty Figure 8 Teether Now

This teether has rubber sides, and smooth plastic sides. Baby can twist it around and have a good time smacking you and himself with it. If you are a nervous wreck that doesn't want to be smacked with a teether, then maybe the knuckleball one would be better for you. But the baby seems to have a good time biting this one and waving it around and smacking himself with it. Baby likes it; it gets on my nerves. But I give it 5 stars because baby likes it.

I saw the rubber-looking sections of these and thought it would be chewy. It's not. For the most part the whole thing is hard plastic. Some of the sections have a different texture or coating (like a thin rubber coating) but my baby didn't care for this at all. It's fairly large, relatively heavy, and frankly it felt more like a toy than a teething ring. I tried over and over again to get her to use this, but she would put it down after a few seconds every time.

In the end, the Vulli rubber teethers were what she liked best. Nom nom nom chewy goodness.

The item breaks in to pieces in a month, with sharp hard plastic edge! When I found it was already broken, and small sharp pieces were around my 6 month baby. Cannot imagine if she eat the parts....

I have many Munchkin stuff and they are all very good, but this teether is dangerous!

Disney Snow White Seven Dwarf Pool Bath Tub Toy Set

Disney Snow White Seven Dwarf Pool Bath Tub Toy SetI bought this set thinking snow white would come with it, it did not. I bought one 20 years ago similer to this and the kids love them. It is very durable and the colors held up.I guess I should of check it out better.

People have complained about this because there is only the Dwarfs and no Snow White. My grandson just love's them they are bigger and made very nice and if I was buying them for a girl I guess I'd wish it had Snow White. But It was perfect for what I wanted

My son is obsessed with the seven dwarfs! He is always marching around our house singing, "Heigh-ho." For his birthday he wanted the toys. I searched everywhere before I found these. They say pool and bath toys, but he just uses them to play around the house with. Each one is a few inches tall and they are very sturdy. He loves lining them up and pretending they are marching. I love that they come in a handy carrying case so they all stay together.

10 Piece Baby Rattle and Teether Toy Gift Set with Giant Baby Bottle Coin Bank

10 Piece Baby Rattle and Teether Toy Gift Set with Giant Baby Bottle Coin BankBaby loves each of these toys from day one.. She is three months now and now she tries to hold and rattle :)

I was asked to make a diaper cake for my friends baby shower. This product made a great center to build the diaper cake on. After the 3 tier "cake" was finished this product was hidden until my friends discovered it later when dismantling the "cake" for their new baby. That was an extra surprise! Sorry I have no review for the toys within but I wanted to share this great idea.

This baby rattle set really exceeded my expectations. I love how it is packaged in a baby bottle.

You can't tell the size from the pictures shown, but the baby bottle is actually pretty big and it is packed with all kinds of baby rattles and teether toys.

The baby bottle also acts as a coin bank, so this set definitely has a lot of different good uses to it. A GREAT gift idea.

Planning on buying another set for our cousin who is expecting next year. I highly recommend this product!

Our little one has some issues with midline play, so our doctor suggested we get some lighter weight rattles and toys. Apparently, the lighter the better and the fancy ones we had purchased were too heavy. After looking everywhere for lightweight rattles, I decided to try this group. They were perfect. They are on the lighter side and come in a variety of sizes. About 6 of them are size appropriate for our three month old and the rest she can grow into.

The First Years Shake and Jingle Keys

The First Years Shake and Jingle KeysThese are great keys with some wonderful sound effects... i love the size (a bit bigger than some teething toys but not too big to shove in a diaper bag...

downfall: non-replaceable batteries... and the motion activation can set off easily (like when you walk on the floor at night--the pressure of footsteps make them go off).

Our 6 month old loves these keys. The toy is entirely plastic and sealed up for safety. My boy chews on the keys, the buttons, the rings, whatever he can get into his mouth. The buttons make sounds, saying things like "beep, beep" and "woohoo!". You can also *easily* turn on and off a function that makes a key shaking sound every time the keys move. This is tons of fun for our boy, and is easy to turn off at night or when he's done playing. These are a great find for our little guy we love them!

Got this for our baby girl. I gave this item 4 stars as the remote has a sound chip which means you should probably not submerge in water or put into a sanitizer.

These got great reviews, but my experience was disappointing. There was no way to turn them off (despite instructions to the contrary), which got loud and annoying really quickly. And of course, if you can't turn them off, then they will run out of juice very quickly, which they did. There was no way to change the batteries, so after 1 month, they were essentially useless.

Want The First Years Shake and Jingle Keys Discount?

Our baby loved playing with these for months and months when she was little, maybe in the 5-12 month range. She is 16 months now and so is on to other things, but still plays with these when being pushed around in her stroller. They are not as realistic as other key sets, but not as annoying either!

Charm Company Scooby Doo Rocker

Charm Company Scooby Doo RockerI don't normally write reviews but this has to be the most disappointing experience I've had with a seller on amazon. The product arrived inside a box with no protective covering. It appears to be used and the stitching in the tail is coming apart. I purchased it for my girl's birthday and now I am unable to give it to her. Having seen the product itself now, it is very cheaply made, I wouldn't recommend this toy to anyone.

My two and four old grand kids love this, even tried to ride Scooby together, just adorable to watch them ride and hug their new best friend.

Gund Baby 9" Snuffles -Blue/Pink

Gund Baby 9' Snuffles -Blue/PinkA nice little bear, but not quite up to Gund's usual quality. The eyes and nose are embroidered, and the fur not quite as soft and silky as other Snuffles. Still, a good find for a Snuffles fan.

Bright Starts Bundle of Fun Toy Collection

Bright Starts Bundle of Fun Toy CollectionI bought this because I had the elephant and my daughter had played with it so much that it started to fall apart. Turns out this bundle was great. She loves the puppy, rattle, and teether and the barbell rattle is her new favorite toy. Well worth the price this bundle would be a great gift too.

We bought this because the Bright Stars "crinkle" dog is no longer being sold. We thought the kit would have one, but no luck. He's just a soft puppy. Oh well, our kid will just have to survive with a crinkle elephant. Toys all high quality and a good kit for giving to the in-laws so they have ways to entertain the kids.

The dog is my son's favorite toy, he's 4.5 months old now. He's starting to hold on to things and the rattles are perfect for practicing it. The teether hasn't been used yet, seems a little big for his mouth right now, but I'm sure it'll have plenty of use as he gets older.

Spin Disc

Spin DiscThis toy is a must for children with sensory and balance issues. The sitting area is large and it is easy for children to sit comfortably with their legs folded. I bought it for my 8 year old who weighs 54 lbs. My 10 year old son who weighs about 75 lbs can sit with plenty of extra room. Once you start spinning, the toy keeps the momentum going. If you try to spin it too fast a child can fall off since it is on an angle, but you have to spin very fast and be a little dizzy for that to happen. It is very sturdy and I cannot find a single thing wrong with the craftsmanship of this product.

This was a fantastic spinning toy for my 6 year old autistic son. He's 50-60lbs, so well within the weight guidelines. He would spin so fast and it brought him so much joy!

After 3 months of daily use, it broke. The plastic in the base that the shaft goes through split, and would therefore no longer keep the washers and bearings secure, so when he'd sit on it, the top would be sitting directly on the base and would not spin. Those of you with autistic children can understand, when your child gets used to a particular activity in their daily routine and then have it break, it's a disaster! Meltdown city and impossible to communicate to my nonverbal child that it is broken.

The manufacturer of this product is a private source and you can NOT contact them directly. The representative of Sensory University (the seller) could offer me no recourse as the manufacturer only guarantees the product for 30 days! Just 30 days!!!

I had to reorder another one, which at $129 + shipping is not cheap! Especially if I am going to have to replace it every 3 months!

I would urge the manufacturer of this product to change the base of this spin disc as well as the way the base attaches to the seat--make it all metal plate and shaft, so plastic splitting is not an issue. Additionally, I would urge them to increase their warranty time and have the ability to be contacted by consumers! I'm really disappointed.

We loved this disc, which is the ONLY reason I am hesitantly purchasing another one. I hope the next one lasts a little longer.

Buy Spin Disc Now

I highly recommend this product for any parent/guardian who has or know a child that is challenged with Sensory Integration Disorder SID. I recommend this product for children with strong upper body strength and can follow simple commands. The Spin Gym is slightly tilted, so pushing is not necessary. Spinning aids as a stimulus for the child and develops the vestibular system. As you read and learn about Sensory Integration Disorder I believe it will help more and more while enabling your child to successfully overcome obstacles with SID. This has been a very good product to add to my daughter's "sensory diet."

I really do love this spin disc. I am a traveling therapist so it is a little bigger and heavier than I would like for moving between locations. However, it spins very smoothly and the size makes it possible for the kids to be in many different positions and to easily propel themselves. I highly recommend it for quality!

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Car

Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary CarI find the complaints on here a little hard to believe. I found the instructions, while lengthy, very simple to follow and easy to accomplish. This is a great product. I put the coupe together Christmas Eve, after about five cocktails, and it still only took me about twenty minutes. Some people just like to complain, I guess... and others are incapable of doing things for themselves.

My little girl (14 months) loves her coupe and was playing in it instantly. She quickly figured out how to get in the seat and start to play. The cutest thing is watching her open and close the doors herself and then draping her arm over the windowsill, just like a grownup.

If you are at all handy, do not be intimidated by the complainers... it is an easy job, well documented and quality constructed item.



I have put together a lot of toys for my daughter, including the Kidkraft Suite Elite Kitchen but nothing has never compared in terms of frustration level to the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe! It can be put together, but it is not fun... I've included some pointers in the video portion of the review.

Ok, so the assembly is a nightmare, but once it was assembled our daughter loves her cozy coupe. I mean she really loves it! She likes the little horn on the steering wheel and I like the removable floor. Our daughter is currently 15 months and she is still a little too small to propel herself... she tries but she usually starts to fall underneath the Cozy Coupe. However, we installed the floor she learned that she could sit back and enjoy the ride.

One thing that is worth mentioning is that once this thing is assembled it is pretty robust and seems to be well-built.

Pros-

+ A nice design for both boys and girls

+ The removable floor means that it grows with your child

+ Our daughter loves the little horn on the steering wheel

Cons-

We have all talked about the assembly here are a few of my tips

Use a rubber mallet instead of a hammer

Forget using a screwdriver you will need to either pre-drill the holes or use a decent cordless screwdriver (It needs some muscle)

If you can find videos (in addition to mine) watch them prior to assembly. Taking parts back off of the Cozy Coupe will make your nightmare that much worse.

Why can't they add a few words in the instructions... such as "This part is a sticker"

It would have been great if there was an optional handle I can push the Cozy Coupe but I must scrunch quite a bit

Unless you open the door it is a bit of a challenge to get into and out of... not that big of a deal, but our daughter has not mastered the door yet!

Final Verdict-The Cozy Coupe is a great toy if you are up to putting it together!

4 Stars ( minus 1 for assembly)

Buy Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Car Now

My parents bought this for my son, who admittedly does love it. But the thing is a nightmare to put together (especially the six red caps that go over the exposed metal rods). And has been pointed out, the instructions are worthless.

And no sooner did I get it together, one of the red caps broke, leaving an exposed metal rod that he could get hurt on.

So I went online and filled out the form to get a replacement of what has to be a thirty cent item. And although this is the 30TH ANNIVERSARY COUPE that only came out THIS YEAR, I was told I'd need to provide proof of purchase to show that it was purchased this year just to get a replacement for a badly designed part that is there to ensure safety.

I'm sorely tempted to return this car, and to avoid Little Tikes products until they improve their customer service.

Edit:

My parents insisted on keeping the car, and although we found the receipt & emailed it to them per their instructions to get a replacement part, they've yet to send it. My parents still like it, but from my perspective the quality is lacking & their customer service sucks.

We bought the Cozy Coupe for our grandaughters 2nd birthday. It arrived the day of her party so we didn't have time to put it together before giving it to her. No problem for Alivea....she got so excited when she saw the box....the adventure began! My son-inlaw was removing the pieces from the box and Alivea was already finding ways to play with them. After just a few minutes when the car was taking shape, Alivea was already setting in it. We had to remove her so her Dad could finish assembling the car with the help of his brother. The next morning, my daughter (Alivea's Mom) told me that Alivea had to eat her breakfast in the car. The Cozy Coupe is a great value for the money! Very easy to assemble, extremely durable and just loads of fun to ride in and go! We highly reccommend the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe.

We just received this adorable little car for our baby's 1st birthday. We were nervous to embark on putting it together after reading all of the horror stories. My husband and I are not the most handy but we really had a fairly easy time putting the car together. I STRONGLY recommend using the assembly video online instead of the paper instructions. I watched it once before we started and then watched/paused as we went along step by step. We only had a little trouble screwing on the roof--be sure to start the screws early as advised by a 'tip' in the video. Really helps to use a drill or electric screwdriver for this part. Another little tip from me: I took all the small parts and laid them out in the box they came in and used a sharpie to label the part's letter--made it easy to grab the one you needed as you go. Othwerise, our baby is LOVING his new car and we are very pleased with our purchase.

Lamaze Play & Grow Take Along Toy, Firefly

Lamaze Play & Grow Freddie the Firefly Take Along ToyThis is one of my son's favorite toys. He first started paying attention to it at about 2 months, mostly because of the bright colors, I think. He's now nearly 5 months old, and he enjoys grasping it so it crinkles, chewing on the attached bug and rings, a and looking at himself in the mirrored wing. The toy is small enough to take in the diaper bag, and the included clip is really handy with the infant seat and stroller. This is a great toy for infants, and you can really see changes in the way they play with it as their motor skills develop.

Freddie became my baby's favorite toy when he was about 2 months, now he is 6 and he still LOVES this "fly" (as we call Freddie). It is great for touching and feeling, chewing and playing all sorts of games. It is easy to hook on to anything, stroller, bouncer, high chair or car seat and I washed it with soap and water and it looks great. One of our best "investments".

Buy Lamaze Play & Grow Take Along Toy, Firefly Now

I have both the firefly and the turtle. Both have pros and cons. I prefer the turtle because of the large mirror on his belly. My newborn has been fascinated with this since she was a month old. The firefly mirror on the wing is too small to interest her even though she is now 3 months old. However, the tangling teether from the firefly should come in handy in another month or two. If you were to buy only one Lamaze for a newborn, I recommend the turtle for its nice size mirror.

We received Freddie as a baby gift. At first I kinda thought he was just a cute, but tacky useless stuffed animal. Boy was I WRONG! My son (who is now 4 months old) has been obsessed with him for months now. When he was tiny he loved to just stare at him. Freddie's back is done in big white and black print which dear son could stare at forever. When he started holding things it was easy for him to hold because Freddie has big, but flat wings and it was hard for him to drop him. Now he loves hearing Freddie crinkle, looking at the mirror, chewing on the lady bug in his pocket, and grabbing his rings. Freddie does have a small squeaker that isn't too annoying and is semi hidden so only my husband and I push it when wanted. It'll be a little bit before the baby can grasp squeaking it on purpose. And even then it's not loud and obnoxious like lots of baby toys.

Freddie is by far our favorite baby item. We've accidentally left him at home once and that was a BIG.MISTAKE. This toy is now my "go-to baby shower gift" for all moms. He's FANTASTIC.

LeapFrog Baby Number Cruncher Teether Book

LeapFrog Baby Number Cruncher Teether BookThis teether is really cute, and my daughter loved to chew on it. HOWEVER, after she had it for about 15 minutes, I noticed a big piece of one of the pages in her mouth... WHO makes a "teething" book with paper pages that peel off? I noticed they were paper labels when I first got it and washed it before I let her chew on it. I was hoping it would stay intact; however, as any mom with a teething baby knows, teething toys get soggy and slobbery, and something with paper labels is OBVIOUSLY not going to stand up to being waterlogged! What a bad idea, and what a disappointment. Money just thrown away!

I thought this was a really cute book and I love the teether numbers. The only thing that is not so wonderful about this book is that the pages are cardboard so when my baby does drool on it, it gets water marks.

Little Tikes Tap A Tune Drum

Little Tikes Tap A Tune DrumThis is a great toy. It's well made and durable. The whole thing is plastic. The top and bottom is a flexible plastic that makes a great drum sound. It's the same on the top and bottom if its flipped over. The sticks are attached by rope that is long enough to play the drum with but short enough that it can't get tangled around the child's neck.

My son loves toys that make music. Its educational, entertaining and takes nothing but an imagination to use.

Highly recommend.

This is a well made toy; not very exciting but durable. My toddler grandkids, ages 1 & 3, get some enjoyment out of beating it but they both seem to prefer something that lights up. Nevertheless, I think every little one needs something to pound on to improve coordination, to have simple fun, and to make some noise. I feel very good about this toy and so does their Mom.

I love the thought of my son falling in love with music and he has but their is a few things about this I didn't like. I doesn't sound like a drum! The drum sticks are attached to the drum for safety reasons which I understand but it is hard to play with them because they are attached too close. The top of the drum is a thick hard plastic which does not sound good at all. This Christmas I bought the B. barum pa pum pum drum and other instruments. I love it! I suggest going with a different drum!

My kids have this, and it is the best drum for the age group that I have seen so far. The attached cords on the drum sticks make it less of a hassle for me because I'm not always hunting them down. A previous reviewer said they were too short, but I don't have that problem at all. I can even play it with no issues.

Russ Berrie Yomiko Jackahuahua 11"

Russ Berrie Yomiko Jackahuahua 11'This dog is just so so cute. My daughter, loved it so much. She got quite a few dog stuffed animals for Christmas, this was one of her favorites it was a little smaller than what I thought it would be but is just so adorable. It was one of her favorites. The Yomiko dogs and the Douglas cuddletoy dogs seem to be very good quality and realistic looking for a stuffed animal. Anyway this is a great toy really cute.
