Edushape Roly Poly Shape Sorter Baby Toy

We love this shape sorter. I bought it when our son was about 7 months old and it has remained a favorite for the past 6 months. The shapes are large and easy to hold and very different from one another--making them relatively easy to distinguish for a 1 yr old.

Great toy!!!

One of our favorite toys..

More expensive than other similar toys but this has has multiple activities on the shapes including ie colours, and numbers, and obviously the shapes..

This adorable toy is so great for babies. It is a shape sorter with big shapes that are easy to hold. I like that they are numbered as well so you can teach 1-5 with them. My baby loves to sort the shapes into the holes, but she also loves the open top for put and take play. She loves reaching her hand in to get a shape out. She also loves batting this around to hear the chime and see it wobble.

Basket of Babies

Purchased for my grand-daughter who requested it for Christmas. She was so excited when she opened the box! She is seven years old so I was surprised that she wanted them but they are so cute! They would be perfect even for someone a lot younger!

Gave to my 18 month old for christmas. She loves babies and she loves to dress them. The basket started to come unstitched the first day.

Want Basket of Babies Discount?

I read a lot about the importance of children having a baby doll both boys and girls, and a lot of the dolls out on the toy market seemed aimed at little girls, and I wanted something unisex/culturally diverse so I was happy to find Basket of Babies.

The babies come in a basket and wear little sleep sacks kids can take on and off (the hat stays on the baby). My son loves the doll wearing green and carries him everywhere, and likes to "tuck the babies" into bed.

Great toy for toddlers to preschool age.

Disney Pooh Peek-A-Boo Soft Blocks

My Grandson has lots of toys but this is absolute #1 favorite! The blocks are a perfect size for little hands. Each side has lots of colors and differnt textures, and have that crinkle sound when squished that babies like. The best thing is that each one has a little soft ball inside. Which are different colors, and the perfect size for his little 7 month old hands to grab and squeeze and hold on to. Sometimes when he squeezes them they will POP out of his little hand, but because they are soft they only roll just out of reach, which gets him crawling after them. He loves working on pulling them out of their blocks as well. When I watch him play with these I can really see him working on developing his motor skills. Great buy!

This toy is fun for my 7 month old. Besides learning in and out with the 3 boxes that crinkle and the 3 balls that jingle , i also put the box over her hand, hid her pacifier in the box for her to figure out and remove. Excellent size for little hands to pick up and all soft so she can throw it roll over on it bang it together or chew on it and it won't hurt her. Highly recommend this toy because it is so versatile and fun to play with baby.

This is great for little kids. The balls can either be chewed on or popped easily in and out of the blocks. Great for kids who love Winnie the Pooh. I highly recommend then. They're soft too so if they get thrown at a sibling or playmate you don't have to worry about injuries!

This is a great first set of blocks for babies. Got this for my daughter at 5 months and she loved playing with them and still does 2 months later. There are 3 blocks, they all have crinkly sides with one clear side to see the ball inside. I was worried about the ball falling out but they are secured inside by soft flaps just underneath the opening of the block perfect for baby as she grows and slowly able to remove the soft ball on her own. We play peekaboo with the balls inside the blocks and they have different sounds a bell, rattle, and one squeaks. The blocks are easy to grasp and help promote development of fine and gross motor skills. And they also have cute Winnie the Pooh pictures on all sides except the clear side. A complete success at our house! Highly recommend! Forgot to add that they are soft and don't hurt baby if she topples on them.

1.2.3 Recycling Truck

Bought this for my grandson for Christmas via his mom's suggested list. I personally didn't like it! I thought it was rather cheap looking, and could have picked up the same type of toy at target or where ever.

I heard he likes playing with it though

The Germans know how to make high quality products. This is no exception. My 2 year old plays with it everyday as part of his daily play rotation. Playmobil 123 is perfect for 1 years and up. The toy is sturdy and well made. Watch out for price gougers.

My granddaughter loves playing with this along with her FP Hospital. She especially loves that she can push a button and hear a cough etc...

Great toy, not only can you play doctor, but this ambulance also flashes its lights, makes siren noises and runs around on its own. The best part is that it is so smart, the ambulance recognizes when it runs into something and turns itself around. It is great!

International Playthings ELC Click Clack Caterpillar

My 13 month old daughter enjoys playing with this toy. It has two tracks on the front and the back; one for the balls and another "centipede" like track for small segmented cars. It was easy to put together and another good feature of the toy is it shuts itself off quickly to concerve battery power.

I expected the toy to be bigger, and more durable. The plastic is good quality, its not delicate, but still can be broken easily by 1 -2 yrs old. Colors are good, and was easy to assemble. My 10 yrs old daughter assembled it ( she is smarter than normal 10 yes old so read 15 yrs old :) ..)

Over all, its a good quality, fun toy, but looking at this after it arrived, comparable toys are available at lower cost. However, had I seen this before ordering, I would put the price range below 30$

Sesame Street 1st Birthday Felt Party Hat

I got this hat for my son's first birthday, along with a 1st birthday crown-style hat. The crown was way too small, but this fit, with some room to spare. The safari style makes the extra room work. My son loves this hat and still plays with it and wears it all the time at home. He is now 2. I must say that I think it's more appropriate for a boy.

Smart Trike Zoo 3 in 1 Kids Tricycle

I agree with the previous opinion that instructions are poorly done and it took me probably 30 min. to put it together, but there is a 3.5 min video on amazon check it out and you'll see it is not that hard.

When we go out my kid almost always chooses this bike over stroller or car (Step 2 Whisper Ride Buggy Blue) and it is my favorite as well. It is very easy for a parent to steer, removable safety harness makes it very comfortable and safe ride for a kid. Removable canopy is very handy especially in SoCal.

We purchased this bike well in advance for my kids first birthday and bike spent a few months in the box before I even attempted to put it together. I was very disappointed when I found that part of the canopy was damaged during shipping. I contacted Dana at Smart trikes and was pleasantly surprised because the only thing that she asked me was to email her picture of the broken part and shipping address replacement part was UPSed with no other questions asked. Smart trike comes with a great customer service when you need it.

My son is by no means large. He got this for Christmas 2010. He is now 19 months old, 30 lbs, and 34 inches tall. He's the size of a 2-3 year old and no longer fits in this trike. He actually stopped fitting in this trike about two months ago when he was 28-29 lbs and 32-33 inches. He could barely fit in the seat and the straps won't "click" once he's in the seat.

This is really too bad because it is really cute and he likes it; he just looks far too uncomfortable riding in it.

The issue is that his legs are too long. Imagine trying to ride a trike that is too small for your legs. His knees are far too bent making it very awkward.

This wouldn't be a problem if the main shaft of the trike actually allowed for the seat to slide back. If it does slide back, we couldn't figure out how to do it.

Speaking of assembly, the parent steering mechanism that attaches to the back never really worked for us. The fittings were way too tight for most of the assembly and we couldn't get the holes to line up so that we could put the pin in, no matter how hard we pushed and tried to tap it into place. Any one else have this problem?

Despite having this trike, we're looking into purchasing the Kettler and/or the Radio Flyer trikes as these are truly adjustable.

If you don't mind some shaky steering from the parent steering and a useless sunshade...my kid loves it! BTW my kid is small, I would not recommend this for a "bigger" kid.

I brought this for my second son's 1st birthday. We have had it for a year now, as he is turning 2.

I am constantly having mom's inquire about the trike wherever we go, and I thought maybe I should post some of my comments where I brought it.

First off I should admit that my husband put the trike together so I can't comment on the difficulty. Took him 15min without difficulty, but he is an engineer and good at technical details. There was nothing broken or missing. The front pedals did spin when they were suppose to be disengaged, but that only lasted 3 days until it got worn in.

I saw a lot of bad/mixed reviews when I bought so I thought I'd comment on some of the things I'd seen posted.

1) I saw a lot of comments that it didn't steer straight. Ours worked prefect for 2 weeks then suddenly started veering all over the place and I thought oh no. I looked down and realized my 1 year old was trying to steer. There is no way to lock out your toddler from taking control, but I easily over power my little guy so it is never a problem. If you are having problems steering make sure the culprit is not your little angel :)

2) The sun shade is great, but not meant for strong winds. Also if it rubs against your child's blonde hair over the course of a long walk you may look down to discover your child has pink hair ( which luckily washed out). Easy to remove the shade.

3) the bucket on the back won't take a heavy load. I use to put my purse in the bucket but it has a tendency to dump the bucket and purse (i do have a heavy purse). Since it didn't carry my purse I figured I didn't need it right now and removed it. I'll put it back when we turn it into a dedicated trike.

4) The seat and seatbelt and surrounding safety bars still fit my 2 year old fine and there is still some growing room. Granted my child runs on the smaller side (26-27lbs). Most trikes don't have seat belts, so once he out grows them I'll stop using the belt. ( And one good thing about the safety bars only fitting small children is my 5 year can't steal his brothers trike, which thankfully saves me one sibling fight).

5) The toy phone got played with the first day and I don't think he ever touched it again. The cup holder at the front fits his sippy perfectly.

6) the saddle bag on the handle doesn't fit much. I like to carry a bottle of sunscreen in it for the days I forget the apply before leaving the house. Maybe an extra diaper, pack of wipes, bucket hat and some sunglasses.

7) My only real con about trike is pulling the trike backwards is a bit unstable. I use to pull my strollers through store doors backwards holding the door with my body. The first time I tried it with trike I nearly tipped it. Luckily the trike fits through doors going forward nicely so I haven't had any issues since.

8) both my kids refused to sit in a stroller from 11 months on. This is a great alternative. My son loves to ride in it. He tries to climb in without help.

9) one warning. Don't wear your Sunday best shoes or open toed sandals. My son likes to drag his feet on the ground despite having both the foot rest and foot pedals for options. It doesn't seem to be hurting his stride ride sneakers, but I could see some little kid somewhere scuffing up their nice shoes.

10) I love the grow-with-it factor. How much money have I spent on toys, clothes and baby gear that only lasted for 6months before the child grew out of it? It's wonderful to spend money on something that is going to be useable for years! A year of use, I've already gotten my money's worth, the next 2 years will just icing on the cake.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Alphabet Fill and Spill

This was really cute! I loved that each of the little pieces had different noises. My daughter loves to rattle them. It's made out of plastic, with a mesh bottom, and cloth tree top. The letters feel like those iron ons for clothingI am skeptical they will hold up but only time will tell. My daughter is 8 months and it is age appropriate! Either way this really cute and I would recommend it!

It's a very simple toy, but my kid loves it. Each shape makes a different sound. We can use it while we read the book.

This was a Christmas gift given by my three year old daughter to my infant daughter this year. Its perfect for both ages. My three year old tells her sisters about the letters on each piece. I was slightly disappointed that the number of pieces did not correspond to the grouping of the letters on the pages and that there were only 4 pieces. They are double sided so all the letters are on 4 pieces. The pieces seem to be missing some sensory exploration common in toys like this. I had been hoping that the pieces would squeak, crinkle and rattle but they seem much quieter than other toys like it.

Sassy Me In The Mirror

Unlike some of the other mirrors for babies this one is pretty low-key, no flashing lights and not a lot of noise. That being said the Me in Mirror is still an excellent toy for your newborn. This was one of the first things that I bought for my daughter, toywise. Even if your little baby hasn't mastered grabbing at things, they should still enjoy this toy. After all babies are fascinated by faces.

I use the Me in The Mirrir primarily as a crib mirror, when I had used it as a toy for her during tummy time, she had managed to almost pull it onto her head. About the warning for a choking hazard: this is concerning safety pins, I never used the safety pins, instead I tie it to my daughter's crib.

My daughter enjoys carrying a conversation with herself, of course she probably thinks that there is another baby. It is a lot of fun just watching her look at herself in the mirror and laugh. She also enjoys playing with the gummy ring and the rattles that are attached to the mirror.

This Sassy product caught my eye because of its colors when I was searching for something for my baby's crib during playtime. Me in the Mirror provides the reflective mirror and some cute and colorful attached toys around the border which spring off with velcro for easy play, but I found the toy did not stand or prop up in the crib, and if we tied it to the side my daughter could not really get to it. It's cute if you just want something inexpensive and bright for brief amusement, but it could really use a better anchor system so it stays put at baby's distance. The side opposite the mirror has a slot for you to insert a picture of family or of baby so they begin to recognize photos and this is a nice extra.

Buy Sassy Me In The Mirror Now

When my daughter was a few weeks old, my husband and I went to the store to get her a mirror, because we'd read that babies like to look at faces. We chose this one because of the fact that it can either tie to the side of the crib or fold out to stand upright on the floor. The toys were also a big factor in the sell, as they meant that she could keep playing with the mirror when she wasn't content to just stare at it anymore.

We took it home, and she loved it! We laid her on the floor and set it up next to her, and she stared at her reflection and reached for the baby and was pretty happy for quite a while, just looking at herself. As she got older and discovered her hands, she started playing with the toys, the bird being her favorite. It has a bell in it, so she'd shake it to hear the bird.

Now that she's 9 months old, she still loves it. The mirror hangs in her crib now, and when she wakes up in the morning, she talks to her reflection. This was definitely a good buy and I would (and have!) refer it to anyone.

I looked at Fisher Price's Activity Crib Mirrors with flashing lights and sounds. I looked at Baby Einstein.

But I chose the Sassy "Me in the Mirror" for several reasons (and ended up buying two, one for home and one for Grandpa Daycare).

1. The mirror is a nice big square mirror, large enough for baby to see his WHOLE face, not just his eyes and nose or nose and mouth in, like some of the Fisher Price and Baby Einstein mirrors.

Babies need to see themselves making faces and sounds so that they can recognize speech patterns and learn that when they go "Oooo", their face is elongated vs. "Ahhhh", where they look more like they are smiling. They also interact with their image, delightedly learning in time that they are smiling back at themselves.

A small mirror doesn't allow a baby to see anything but disjointed images.

2. The toys on this mirror don't obstruct baby's image, but they do capture baby's imagination. My three month old son immediately grabbed for the sun, which twists left and right and also has a squeezy toy inside that squeeks, moving it like a little steering wheel. He doesn't really enjoy tummy time, unless it's on mommy or daddy's stomach, but he immediately took to being on his stomach in front of this mirror! YAY!

Some of the other toys on this mirror were also very entertaining for him; the little curly fabric swatches, he grabs onto and pulls the mirror towards himself (with mom watching to make sure it won't tip over). The birdy is a shaker rattle with crinkly wings, and the ladybug is a spinny toy with soft felty green fur and yellow ribbon legs.

The whole mirror is brightly colored in highly contrasting colors and geometric shapes, just begging for baby to look at it. It can be stood up like a tent for tummy time, it can be attached to a crib and angled towards baby, it also can lay flat, with velcro keeping the mirror from tenting out. And on the back is a clear plastic pocket where you are encouraged to put a picture of people baby loves, so that when he plays with the toy, he is reminded of those who love him.

3. I have a lot of toys that make noise and have lights and sounds, but I wanted a mirror toy that was quiet; that would encourage baby to make the sounds at the mirror, instead of baby stopping his cooing and ooing and ahhing in order to listen to another rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". This mirror encourages baby to squeal in delight at himself, or touch the image looking back at himself.

4. The reflective surface is not glass, but a plastic/metal (?) and that's a safety feature I really like, I've heard of mirrors breaking and potentially putting baby in harms way. And, also another feature I consider important is that it's lightweight. If this crib mirror were to accidentally topple and bonk baby on the noggin in tent mode (heaven forbid, because that means I wasn't paying attention to baby and would be missing his sweet smiles, as well as being negligent), it would do no lasting harm besides startling baby and causing him to cry for a bit (and hopefully that would get my attention and as a parent I'd swoop in, cuddle and comfort him).

5. And finally...The Price is Right. The mirror is inexpensive and doesn't require batteries. And it seems like everything out there requires batteries in order to entertain baby. Sassy's Me in the Mirror proves you don't need batteries to capture baby's attention.

Cheers!

I bought this versatile (and fairly inexpensive) little mirror, not for in the crib, but for in the car and it works great! I was facing a 500 mile drive, alone with a 4 year old and a 2.5 month old who hated the car. Literally screamed every time (for the whole time) we were in it. I was desparately browsing through the toy store and came across this. I attached it to the head rest posts with the crib ties and it sits at just the right angle for my little one to see. I'm not sure whether she likes the patterns or seeing herself but she clearly loves the mirror. We made the trip (both wasy) with a bare minimum of crying. Love it, love it, love it. Did I mention that I love it?!

Genuine Baltic Amber Baby Teething Necklace - Multi Colored Round

I bought this for my little one and it seemed to make a difference in terms of her grumpiness. She really did appear to change overnight. My older child decided he needed something to calm him down and he's now been wearing it. Not sure it works as well on him though.

I don't know if I believe in homeopathic remedies or not... I honestly bought this product out of desperation. All I know is, I put this necklace on my baby and she stopped screaming. My baby's first tooth was a big fat molar and she was having a horrible time. We were desperate and bought everything anyone told us would work. Suckers? Maybe, but after exhausting everything else we bought this teething necklace. I put it on her and a few hours after wearing it, she took a two hour nap!

She's worn it ever since. At night, I put her in feety PJs and wrap it around her ankle. I guess that means I'm a believer.

I'm so happy with this necklace! My 20 month old son has been wearing this necklace for the past few days and I already have noticed a HUGE difference. He's not as fussy and has slept so well. The first night after wearing the necklace he slept for 12 hours straight and if that wasn't like a dream come true he then took a three hour nap that same day! I was also blown away at the fast and professional delivery of the product. I was almost shocked when it showed up the DAY AFTER I ordered it. And it couldn't have come at a better time my son has been so miserable with his teeth for months and it was like a miracle to see this necklace ease his pain. Many thanks to "The Art of Cure". I love this product and wish I would have known about this from the start.
