Buy Wonderworld My Dachshund Now
I thought this was a super cute little dog and ordered it to include in a gift basket for my niece. When I received it, I opened the package to check it out. You are supposed to pull the dog and it makes a noise as it returns back to shape. You can also gently pull it's tail and it will bark. Well, after one time of doing each, it broke. No more noises and no more barking. I was able to get in touch with Amazon and they shipped me a replacement right away and I had it in time to go to the shower. Amazon is to be commended on their great customer service treatment!! They are fantastic!! I just hope this dog doesn't break as soon when my new little niece begins playing with it!Cute toybut from day one the buzzing/barking mechanism gets stuck if pulled to hard, then you have to beat the thing to get it to start working again!I got this for my niece for christmas because we have a dachshund of our own and thought it would be perfect! she loves the thing and loves talking to it and everything, she can't make it bark on her own but that actually stopped working anyways. that would be the only downside but its really not a big deal because she still loves it and it is her favorite toy. plus its ecofriendly which is great!Thursday, August 21, 2014

Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Press and Go Animal Parade
Buy Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Press and Go Animal Parade Now
I like this toy. It is a cute train that will move even on carpet when a lot of toys won't. I also like that you can play with the animals individually as well. My only complaint is that the train doesn't stay together when you pick it up to put away. I just had to put the animals next to each other on a shelf. You can't leave it connected. It falls apart when picked up. It's a great toy in spite of that though.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Press and Go Animal Parade Here
The music and sounds of this toy are great, it gets baby's attention. Baby loves pulling the animals off the line and rolling them around. However, this only last a few minutes. Also, the toy will not go in a direct line. Ever. Period. It must be because the monkey on top is driving drunk. This is an OK toy. Baby plays with it a little, but it is far from his favorite. You may want to pick something else that is more useful.Want Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Press and Go Animal Parade Discount?
This is a wonderful toy. We also have the Amazing Animals Spinnin' Around Musical Zoo & the Rollin' Around Jungle Playground and my 20 month old LOVES these toys and has played with them for months. Very durable.Tuesday, July 15, 2014

The Farmer Says
This toy has a half ring that can be flipped back and forth to display different animals. There are 16 animals, which are named and make their individual sounds when the handle is pulled. There is also a song sticker that plays Old MacDonald had a Farm or The Farmer in the Dell. And there is a quiz sticker that asks you to find the animal based on the name of the animal or its sound. The farmer is on an arrow in the middle and you point it toward whichever sticker you want and then pull the handle.
I only have two minor complaints with this toy. The handle sometimes sticks on the way back up and makes a soft grinding sound. Also, the volume is a bit loud and there is no volume control button. Overall, it's a great toy.This is a bad replacement for the classic! It uses batteries so the lever is useless. It does nothing but make the sounds unaudible with extra rumbling. It doesnt need the extra page because the extra animals on the other page, the song, and the quiz are all unrecognizable. The reduced size is a plus, but the handle is hard to pull for my 2 year old. So no sounds come out since the handle didnt get pulled correctly. I remember the classic being a much better toy because it would play on all pulls, the sounds were great, and the size was perfect for laptop play. Blah, for $10 it was not worth it!I am not sure what is going on with this toy and the companies that are selling it through Amazon. This toy, made by Fisher-Price is a $10 item. You can get it from ToysRUs, Target, Walmart, etc. I don't know why it is selling for so much more ($80-$90 range). I have e-mailed the two companies selling this item, B&H Outlet and Wizard Entertainment to find out why it is so expensive. I am still awaiting a reply. I would hate for someone to pay so much for such a simple toy; although, I would like to think no one would.Was looking for the same toy I grew up with but this one was half in size and not loud at all. Hearing the sounds are a big problem. Did not hold the childs attention well at all. Very disappointing. F-P could have made this one better potentially taking safety too far and overiding the performance factor.I bought this for our grandson Ian a few months ago. Its so cute and really does teach a small child a lot about animals. Very clear, easy to handle and operate and bright colored which I think is important to small children. Its a great buy and will provide hours and hours of entertainment for a small child. A must have. I liked it so much that I pre-ordered the new ABC one for another grandson.

The noises are great, entertaining but not annoying as many kid toys can be.Read Best Reviews of Sassy Click Clack Keys Rattle Developmental Toy Here
These are so cute for a different kind of baby keys. I especially love that the buttons have different sounds. It's not just three different, each button has a couple different noises it makes. So when my daughter is sitting there pressing the same button over and over again like she loves to doat least it's a variety of noises and not just the one!Want Sassy Click Clack Keys Rattle Developmental Toy Discount?
My daughter stared responding to this toy at 3-4 months. She loved the car sounds and high contrast colors. She is now 11 months and will still play with this key rattle.Thursday, July 3, 2014
Nickelodeon Dora The Explorer Multi-Bin Toy Organizer
Buy Nickelodeon Dora The Explorer Multi-Bin Toy Organizer Now
We got this for my 2 year old. Her bedroom is upstairs so we made a play area in the dining room. It holds all her toys nicely. And she LOVES Dora. 2 negatives: First is the sides of the bins get a little mangled cause they aren't super sturdy, but not too bad. And second is the bottom drawer. Because we have carpet it does NOT slide easily in and out. I have to pull it out for her.Read Best Reviews of Nickelodeon Dora The Explorer Multi-Bin Toy Organizer Here
My daughter loves this toy bin. It's a great place to organize toys and teach kids to put their toys away as the bins are easy to take out and put back in.A little smaller than you originally expect but it's a great size for a toddler.

It is quite sturdy. The little bins are fabric, but they seem to be made very well. It's very cute and perfect for a little girl that loves Dora! It is also compact so it fits nicely in the little area in our dining room that is her play area. My only complaint is that the large bin underneath is hard to pull out for a little one because it doesn't have a shelf to sit on. It just goes underneath, so it catches on the carpet.Tuesday, July 1, 2014

Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider
This is one item I would buy again!
Buy Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider Now
Much like the other reviewers, our son was only able to sleep in his car seat or swing (due to reflux) and for no more than a two to three hour stretch at night. I saw this glider in an insert in Baby Magazine and hoped it was the answer to our prayers. It was! The first night we tried it out our son (eight weeks old) slept for six and a half hours!Nearly two months later he is still sleeping in it for eight to nine hours a night! We have a "mini co-sleeper" attached to our bed and the glider fits in it perfectly. If he starts to stir or is startled by something, I just reach over and turn the glider on and he falls back to sleep!
Since we bought this glider, we have gone out of town twice and did not even consider leaving it at home. Yes, it is big and not the easiest thing to travel with but the sleep we get each night is well worth the trouble. He will be four months old tomorrow and I am dreading the day that he outgrows it. Hopefully by then he will have also outgrown his reflux.
The Soothing Motions Glider is wonderful and we credit it for the return of our sanity!

The good: The gliding mechanism in our unit has lasted six months. I never thought it would make it that far! The sound quality of the music is very good. This is a very good little bed for newborns, I must say.The bad: The gliding motion is too slow even on the fast setting (icon of a hare versus a tortoise, or low). To actually rock a baby to sleep the gliding needs to be faster. There is no calming vibration option, a huge omission.
The ugly: I would say the correct price for this glider is $45 or less.We have this glider in a different color scheme and it is FANTASTIC. My children loved to sleep in it. I got many extra hours of sleep thanks to this. Love it!!

Kathe Kruse 5" Wooden Ring Rattle Plush Toy, Hedgehog Paul
One thing I didn't expect, though, is that the hedgehog is only held on the ring with weak velcro. It comes off when my son shakes the ring. In fact, we don't bother reattaching it. We use this as two separate items -a hedgehog with a bell in it that he likes to play with and a separate ring with crinkly fabric that he finds very interesting. It looks plain to me, but son often reaches for this toy first.
Plus, it's not made in China, which is so rare these days.
VERY happy with this purchase.

Infantino Stick and Play Highchair Toy
I bought it to stick on high chair tray to keep my grandaughter interested while I made her food. It stuck for a couple of seconds, but was quickly pulled off. It is useless as a high chair toy. High chair tray is smooth and not textured so that was not the problem
However, my grandaughter really likes this toy and so I hold it while she plays with it. She will sometimes play with it on her own.
I would rate it zero stars for a high chair toy, and three stars as a toy, so I settled on two stars as a compromise
Buy Infantino Stick and Play Highchair Toy Now
~BACKGROUND~I purchased this toy for my 2 month old son to aid in the development of his motor skills.
I have suctioned the toy to various surfaces plastic, corian counter, finished wood.
~PROS~
Spinning flower "clicks" as it turns and makes the beads move and make noise as well. Also provides an added feature and easier access to the 4 petals mirror, spinning butterfly, spinning bee and bead filled petal.
Great entertainer for the high chair. We are currently using ours in the Bumbo Floor Seat with Tray AQUA with the Bumbo Seat Play Tray, Ivory.
Can be used as a non-stick plain old toy as well.
~CONS~
The "stay put base" does not stay put very well. It appears to work best on a very smooth surface, but still loses it's suction. I have tried numerous methods in an attempt to keep it suctioned various levels of pressure on the base, various amounts of moisture on the suction cup. Sometimes it stays put longer than others, but eventually it falls over.
~TIPS~
As with any toy that gets put in your child's mouth (which is practically everything) I strongly encourage the use of non-toxic products that are safe for your child such as:
The First Years 90 Count Pacifier Wipes
Munchkin 36 Pack Arm and Hammer Pacifier Wipes, White
~CONCLUSION~
My son loves to sit in his before mentioned Bumbo with the flower stuck to the Bumbo tray. I like to move it from one side to the other to encourage him to use both of his hands to spin the flower and explore the petals.

Adorable toy but pretty much worthless because it constantly falls over. Flower is top heavy. Ordered a few more sassy toys and they stick much better. Waste of money....ughI bought this toy at another retailer and at first it was great. The only problem? (and the reason it only got 3 stars) It doesn't stick! It continuously falls off my son's highchair and his floor seat. He can easily pull it right off. He loves the toy itself, but it just doesn't stay put. I wish infantino would make a different base to it, with less places a baby can grab on to to unattach the toy.Sunday, March 30, 2014

Sassy Pop N Push Car
This reminds me of a toy made by a certain maker years ago (don't know if I can mention their name legally or not so I just won't) that was on a long stick and you walked behind it and it had bigger balls inside that popped...like a popcorn maker!
Cute toy, highly recommend.This is a very simple toy for a crawling infant to use. No parts, no blocks, no switches, just push it and watch the balls pop. Sometimes that's all they want -no bells and whistles.

Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. It was a good price and serves its purpose.I was only unhappy with the size of the car. I did not read the dimensions before purchasing so I did not realize how small the car was. It's about the size of a softball. I was thinking it was going to be about the size of a soccer ball. Because of the smaller size the balls inside are rather small and dont really catch my daughter's attention like I thought it would. But, it was my fault for not reading the dimensions.
I was, however, pleasantly surprised at the fact that it will propel itself after being pulled backward. I was not aware of that feature and was happy when I found that out.Granted my daughter is only 6 months old now and cannot play with this toy yet but my husband and I can! This car will go FOREVER depending on how far you wind it back and how much free space you give it. On the rug (depends on the type/thickness), hardwood, or tile you will get this car to go! Lots of fun.

Step2 KidAlert V.W.S.
The only concern I have is that our 18-month-old was too interested in the safety man. Our toddler kept running toward the street to investigate this strange yellow guy with the flag standing at the bottom of our driveway. Hopefully the novelty will wear off quickly.This is a really great piece of mind. I live on a block that is full of kids. I get so nervous when they are all out riding bikes and scooters because they are so busy playing they don't pay as close of attention to cars coming by and all too often the cars are driving too fast. Cars really do slow down with this sign out. Easy enough to pull out of garage to set up. Kids like that it is there for their safety. However, you can get it for $31 shipped from the Step 2 website: to save a few bucks.Awesome product! Very sturdy! I bought two to set out on both sides of the street to warn cars to slow down.

Chicco Baby Activity Walker
Two concerns the first is that the wheels don't really lock. He is still able to walk with it in the locked position on the carpet. The second is that when he tries to pull himself up he often times pulls the toy over. It should be heavier so that he doesn't tip it over.Walker is just perfect, the right size.
Its easy to use and don't need to wait till the baby walks, can use it while baby is sitting down.
