Go Go Buddies Rock-a-bee

I bought two of these, one for my one 13 month old niece and one for my 10 month old nephew. They looked really cute pushing them around and getting excited about the lights.

Soothing Sounds Chimes

My son absolutely loves this toy. The chime sound is so soothing. I love it too. He loves to move it and get the chime to sound, plus the little beads inside the toy are fun to watch. The only draw back is that it is hard plastic, so if your child is still unable to control it they might hit themselves with it. It doesn't weigh that much, and as fast as they grow they'll be able to control it soon.

Enjoy!

Infantino Crib Companion Soother, Lullabuddy

We've used this toy to keep our baby entertained, not for going to sleep. She likes the music and the light flashing on and off. We have the glow sea horse for bedtime, that's a lot more soothing that this.

This is so cute, and I loved it when my Mother-in-law gave it to my son for christmas, but it doesn't sooth him AT ALL! The lights are way to bright, and flash rapidly, and the music is too loud. It actually wakes him up in the middle of the night if he happens to roll on it.

This product could cause a baby to have a stroke one day LOL

My newborn son sleeps a lot better and longer with light and noise going on and although I think the lights a little bright, especially for it being right by his face he seems to enjoy it. My son constantly stares at lamps, tvs etc.. so I knew picking a crib soother with both sounds and light was a better choice than just a crib mobile. The soother is adorable, stays attached well and the lullaby music is enjoyable.

I bought this elsewhere, but I wanted to get the word out not to buy this. I've had it a couple of months and it already doesn't work. It stops playing music after just a few seconds and doesn't light up at all. When it did work, the flashing lights were way too bright and the "lullabys" were too loud and not in the least soothing. You can't control the brightness or the volume. It is at least cute, so I left it is the crib for something for my daughter to look at. Don't bother!

My 4 1/2 month old LOVES this toy. It is well made, very soft and the arms/feet/ears and material in general is great for chewing/sucking. It has two sets of velcro straps which helps us strap it to just about anything. This is perfect for daytrips in the car and is small enough and convenient to go in the diaper bag.

However, like the other parents, I tried this in her co-sleeper the past two nights and it is WAAY too bright and loud for night time. The flashing light is perfect in the day but at night is more like a strobe light and too intense for her little eyes. During the daylight hours, she smiles like crazy and loves it. She doesn't smile at it at all when it's dim and actually looks a little alarmed and over-stimulated.

As a toy, FIVE STARS. As far as the name "Crib companion soother lullaby" TWO STARS. Not for bedtime. I am going to order the seahorse like recommended.

Kids Line Luxury Security Blanket, Blue

*Warning* This "blanket" is not much bigger than a washcloth. It looks nothing like the picture. I am really disappointed. The seller should emphasize this product is not the size of any normal blanket. It would be to small for a cabbage patch kid much less a real child.

SIT-U-UP by WESCO

This is very expansive if you're buying it only for home use and have only one baby. It is more for daycare use. Product is of good quality, and nice to have. However, the picture is not realistic (the one with baby sitting in it). The product is way larger than what you get impression from the pict. It is useless for babies who need support for sitting because it is too large. Once baby can sit then there is no need for this piece. I've found this more useful for baby once he can play on and with it, but that is not what this is meant for. So, good quality, very expensive, very nice to have but really not necessary. Definitely useless for babies under age of 6 months (you really need something like bumbo till that time) after that age nice to have in the room or outside. Would I recommend? If you have extra money definitely yes! If you don't you don't need it.

My 15mth old child loves this seat. We don't own it but it is the first thing she goes to when we take her to daycare. She lays back and reclines herself in the middle. The teacher said later on the class figures out you can turn it in up on the rounded side and "ride" it like a rocking horse. I would buy one but it is too expensive for home.

Chicco Toys Rodeo Ride On

The first time I saw this horse I fell in love! I love the Chicco brand plus all the features were awesome. We got this for Christmas for our 10mo. old (at the time)and it was love at first sight for him too. Although he was just walking around the furniture he managed to get on it and He just can't be with out it. It also holds my 7yr old on the bouncing feature since you can gage the tension on the spring. We love it!!

The toy was easy to put together and my 12 month old daughter already likes it even though it's meant for 18 months +. The only gripe I have is they obviously didn't Quality Control it very well as the sound part in the pony's head does not work. It does only if you hold all the battery connections together, but Hello, you can't do that once you put the head on! I didn't care enough to send it back as I can do without the noise anyway...it was very loud! :0)

My kids played with it for 5 years! So i wanted to order it for my friend's little boy. But, it was shipped with no external packaging, box ripped and in terrible condition! It was supposed to be a gift! Very disappointed.

Read Best Reviews of Chicco Toys Rodeo Ride On Here

My little girl had a thing for horses since she was 12 months old. I remember seeing this at a friend's hose so I decided to purchase it.

It;s one of my daughter's favorite toys. She is too small (and light, even at the lightest setting) to "ride" it without the green rocking base thing, but hopefully she will graduate to that too soon.

It is durable, easy to clean (you can clorox wipe it all day long without ruining it), and my baby has no problem keeping her balance on it despite her young age. I only wish the riding noise button was easier to press and that the recording of the galloping horse lasted more than a few seconds. The green rocking base is not as sturdy as I would like, but it always remains safely in place.

I hope your kids will like it like my own.

Want Chicco Toys Rodeo Ride On Discount?

I preface this review with the fact that I am a parent of two boys we have had this horse for over one year now. This horse is wonderful while it is on the green stand and used a a rocker. It is plastic, so it is very easy to clean and it withstands very intense rocking--the type that looks like the horse is going to tip over, but it doesn't. So in this sense it is wonderful and my boys love it.

Here is the problem. It will not be used much longer. Even though this product is supposed to grow with the child, come off the rocker and be on wheels so the child can "rodeo", that aspect of the toy is completely unworkable. Why? Because the horse does not go anywhere by forward. The wheels do not turn, so the child cannot move the horse back or turn it to the side at all. All that the child can do with the 4-wheeled horse is move it forward. That is great until you hit a wall or a piece of furniture, but then what? The child tries to rock backwards to move the horse back, it won't go. The child gets off the horse, tries to push it back, it won't go. Tries to turn it, it won't go. The toys is the most frustrating and the most counter-intuitive toy I have ever seen (when on its wheels) and the kids don't want to use it as rodeo. When off the rocker, the horse causes much crying and frustration.

So, in short, this horse will not grow with your child as the manufacturer claims because it is not practical and won't be used by children for anything other than to rock.

Smart Trike DX 3-In-1 Kids Tricycle

I really like this trike. We just bought 2 for our twins and they are wonderful. My husband and I put them together without any problems. The directions are step by step in picture format. One person posted that the directions were difficult and I would have to disagree. The steering is okay but not that bad. I can push two at the same time. Also the trike is very light weight and the saftey harness is a pluse. Also someone posted to upgrade to the zoo. We tested a trike pluse in the store and it seemed wobbley/cheap. We were going to purchase the deluxe but the store had the zoo only. I am so glad we got the zoo, it is just better quailty from the seat cushion to the tire and peddles. Overall we are happy with the purchase. Advice: purchase when kids are small because you will get a lot of use out of it. Suggestions for change: able to remove the cell phone (use of clip) this way the phone will not drop but can be removed when parents are annoyed with it, canopy is good but would be nice if it can move side to side, bin in the back can fall off if load is too heavy or you hit it just right (connected to bike a little more securly with a bolt or bungee of some sort)---I know you don't want the plastic to crack). These were just some suggestions and I know you can't have it all. Thanks for reading my reivew, sorry if there are spelling errors.------Cassandra (Even though I did not purchase this on amazon, I do go to amazon for reviews. I love when people post their unbiased thoughts on items because it helps me to decide if I would like the product.)

There are some serious flaws in this product, first of all I'm a motorcycle mechanic, I take apart and put back together motorcycles for a living, so I thought this should be a piece of cake, but it wasn't like that at all, It took me about an hour to finish putting the thing together only to find out I need to file off a piece of plastic that's touching the steering column,

One more thing is the safety belt, the three point safety belt is far from being safe, it keeps falling from my sons shoulders no matter what setting I put it in or how much I tighten it. Nowadays, anything less then a five point harness and a Harness Clip like this one will not hold any child in place.

UPDATE (Nov 23rd 2011): My son is 1 year and three months old and has out grown the seat belt that's in it's maximal setting... Too bad :-(

The parking brake lever, that's located on the rear axle, is longer then the radius of the wheels so when you go up or down the stairs, it touches the stairs before the left wheel when going up or gust after the wheel when going down. It keeps getting bumped and I have no doubt it will break sooner rather then later.

after your child grows and you plan to take out the plastic part holding the legs of the 6 months baby, you should know that the front wheel is not protected and your baby's legs are not long enough to reach the foot pegs yet, so the legs are in the air, and it's only a matter of time till one of his legs gets clinched between the front fork and the wheel. To avoid that I usually lean on the handle to tilt the trike back so the front wheel is in the air and doesn't spin.

The sunshade is very small and positioned too high so it doesn't do much in shading my child, it's more for looks then it is for sun protection.

It doesn't fold quickly like you would expect from a toy this big that gets to go with you, it needs to be taken into three pieces and then to be put back together.

Bottom line, my son loves the thing and the concept of this product is great but it requires some serious re engineering.

Buy Smart Trike DX 3-In-1 Kids Tricycle Now

So what's so smart about the Smart Trike Deluxe Tricycle? This unique 3 in 1 multi-featured tricycle is designed for quality and functionality for a baby 10 months and up. It changes and grows with your child making it the perfect first tricycle choice.

I should start by saying I was sent one of these to review by the company. The twins and I loved it so much after using it a couple times that I immediately ordered a second Smart Trike Deluxe from Amazon.com. Putting the bikes together was simple and painless. The directions are well done and easy to follow.

The smart trike deluxe can be configured in 3 different configurations which correspond to 3 different approximate development phases of your child.

The first configuration is for the 10+ month child. In this set-up it has a wrap around seat, complete with back support, keeping baby in place. It also includes safety straps, a telescopic, parent push handle, and a sun hood to limit exposure. In other words, it's a bit like riding in a bike themed stroller for your little one. Pushing them with the parent handle is a breeze, it controls the actual steering of the bike as opposed to just pushing and muscling the thing along like most bikes.

The picture of my twins above on the Smart Trike Deluxe shows the second configuration, which is aimed at the 15+ month child. Gone is the safety bar, back support, and sun hood. However, in this phase the bike still utilizes the parent push telescopic handle, safety buckles, a cup holder, telephone toy, back tipping bin, and a storage bag. I can lower the handle if my twins want to pedal and steer on their own for a touch, but raise it back up to push them home when they tire. Love it!

The 3rd phase allows for the eventual removal all together of the parent push and steer handle. My twins aren't ready for that stage yet at 21 months but it's so nice to know our bike allows for that when we get there.

Wow! Tricycles have come a long way since I was little. In fact, they've come a long way since my 15 year old was little. Where was this thing when I was hunched over pushing him or dragging his bike home next to me while I carried him?

The overall make-up of the bike is top quality. It has double injection rubber wheels and full metal construction. It was of no surprise to me that the Smart Trike was a "Right Start Best Toy" Award" winner. The deluxe is just one of the models made by the Smart Trike company.

Our grand-daughter loved this trike!!! Her folks had to put it another room to get her to eat, play with other toys, etc. If she saw the trike, she would cry until they put her on it. They used it instead of a stroller at the local mall and it worked great.

Want Smart Trike DX 3-In-1 Kids Tricycle Discount?

We bought this trike after testing it out in the store. The one in the store seemed to work just fine so we bought it from Amazon.

Assembly was easy and it came with the tools you need.

Went for a walk for the fist time and the trike was all over the sidewalk. The extension handel is very sloppy and our you need to turn it about 30 degrees for any sort of movement to the front wheel.

After that we're constantly trying to get it to go straight and stay straight. It is very difficult to just walk and enjoy the walk. In larger open areas it isn't as bad but if you are walking next to someone, you're probably going to put them into the bushes as least once on your walk.

So far the trike has about 5mi on it. The wheels are plastic with some sort of hard rubber or something for tread and they are holding up find so far.

The sun shade on the trike doesn't line up with anything else so overall, the trike just looks like a piece of junk.

Save yourself the headache and buy something with a little better quality.

Tolo Toys Classic Trumpet

Very happy with this toy as a first trumpet. At 2 years old it wasn't appealing for my son who hadn't developed his air-blowing technique, and he lost interest (though he enjoyed when i used it and pressed the buttons himself). Now he is 2.75 yrs and proud that he can make the noise himself, so he chooses to use it more.

My Grandson is 19 months and loves whistles, this works great. Size is perfect. Opening for blowing is good for little ones and handle just right.

I bought this for my 9-month-old daughter thinking that she'd need to grow into it but she loved it right away. She crawls after it along the floor when I pull it and it's made a good distraction to keep her from chasing the dog and cats around constantly. She also will sit and pull on the string herself then push the caterpillar away to do it again. This is a wonderful toy that we'll be having fun with for quite awhile!

Toofeze Baby Teether/Soother, Green

Toofeze was shaped a little different than I had originally thought even though I had seen the pictures. My daughters first tooth came in a couple days ago. She likes the silicone piece more than she likes the metal part but that may change over time. I let the toofeze sit in a bowl of ice water to get it colder faster and that seems to work ok. Not sure if its worth $20 but if my daughter continues to take to it, Im sure the money will be worth it if it helps the teething process. Only complaint I have is that the metal disc doesnt stay cold very long. It is shaped with babies small hands in mind. She is able to hang onto it really well.

I bought this at a local boutique for $20. My son loves it. It's just the kind of thing he likes to chew on. He doesn't care much for the stainless steel bump, but that may change when he's really cutting teeth. He has 2 teeth so far but they came in before I bought the Toofeze. I don't really get the "keepsake" idea, I know you can engrave the metal, but a mint-green rubbery toy as a keepsake? I don't expect we'll bother with that. The tooth hart is a nice idea, we may use it. All-in-all, my son likes it, the color selection is limited (as in just one), and it seems a bit over-priced, but if it keeps some of the screamies at bay, I'm happy with it.

It also come with a teeth chart which is a nice bouns and will fit nice in the baby book. The green part of the teether smells a little funny, but it works so who cares. The one thing I would change is the carry bag it comes with is a sort of mesh so it allows small specs of dirt to pass into the bag and onto the teether. I wish it came with a different type of carry case so I didn't have to clean it every time I dug it out of the diaper bag.

I know this teether is more expensive than many on the market, but it is wonderful and completely worth the money. I have a couple different teething toys for my son and this is the one I save for when he is really upset. It works so well. It chills quickly and remains cold longer than the gel toys. Plus it is easy to clean and easy for him to handle. My only problem is the risk of losing it since he likes to throw stuff when I am not watching.

You might think $20 is too much for a teether, it's worth every penny! It's durable, not cheaply made like other teethers! Try it! You'll see!

SugarBooger Kiddie Play Backpack

I bought two of these backpacks, one as a birthday gift for a two year old girl, and one as a Christmas gift for my daughter who is just shy of two. The two year old loved it and it was the perfect size for her frame. The backpack was a bit much for my 19-month old, but as she grows closer to two years old, she is more interested in wearing it. It doesn't hold much, perhaps four or five, small to medium sized books. It doesn't have any interior/exterior pockets, so this wouldn't be the book bag for an elementary school child. But for a 2 or 3 year old child, for library trips, this does the trick and make them feel like a "big kid".

My son received this when he was 10 months old. We've had it for a few weeks and he plays with it every day. The songs are cute and catchy (Have you ever seen a puppy...). It has two modes, one for learning, one for music. At this age the music button is more useful. He doesn't understand how to use the hammer yet. The short string can be tucked inside the battery compartment (good for babies). I wish it taught more than ABCD though. Overall, this is a nice toy and seems like it will hold up for quite some time. The only thing you could lose is the hammer, but it fits nicely in the back of the truck. The toy can tell when the hammer is put away, which is nice.

Gund Baby Lena Lamb Musical Toy

I purchased two of these stuffed lambs for Easter baskets. They worked well for my 3 yo son and 2 yo nephew. The song plays fine, and the lambs are sufficiently well built and cuddly.

The lamb's music is controlled by a key that is easily usuable by a toddler. The one odd thing is that the key allows you to unscrew it. So if you turn it the wrong way, you'll have to turn it back before it starts cranking.

There is not much to say other than that. This is a music box in the form of a stuffed animal, NOT a stuffed animal with music. So this isn't meant to be played with by a baby or to be someone's carry around toy. It is better suited for being sat up on a shelf and played to help a baby to sleep, or played with your toddler to expose him to the song.

I dropped the rating a star because of the oddity of the key being able to be unscrewed, which can be frustrating when you have to screw it 5 or six turns before it starts winding up. Other than that, treating it more like a music box for kids and less like a stuffed animal would be the key to making sure this is the product for you.

Looked everywhere for the perfect lamb and found nothing that compaired with the one I purchased from Amazon. Thrilled with softness, clarity of music and sweet lamb face.
