The Deglingos Discovery Activity Toy

The Deglingos Discovery Activity Toy, Ratos The RatHe was much bigger than I expected, but my baby seems very happy with everything about Ratos... especially the vibration feature. If she is grumpy I can just pull his leg to make him vibrate and she cheers up! He has many textures and many different ways to play/eat him. He squeaks, crinkles, vibrates, and has a rattling ring!

I would highly recommend him. Plus he is hilarious looking.

I got Ronoronos at a half-off deal four months ago, when my baby was four months old. It was a hit from day one. He loves the ring the best, especially now that he's teething, but I have noticed that he also likes to chew a little on the softer legs too. One leg has a squeaker in the heel,another leg is a rattle, and another leg is just plain. The tail pulls for the vibration feature, which always makes my son smile.

This is a pricey toy and not machine-washable, but we love it.

I ordered the dog activity toy. It's alright, though over priced for what it is. The worst part is that the tummy part of it is a Super Rough burlap! Who puts a scratchy rought burlap patch on an otherwise snuggly baby toy? I will be returning it and exchanging it for perhaps one of the stuffed animals instead. Rough scratchy fabric does not belong on a baby toy, sorry...very disappointed. So glad I purchased through Amazon, they make returns easy and their customer service is amazing :) Thanks Amazon!

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.

Bark Bark Vac Mitts

Bark Bark Vac MittsIt's pretty small. I expected it to be bigger. My two year old has to bend over to operate it. Other than that it is great though. My two year old and my one year old both love it.

So I'm pretty sure that the commercials for this product say "It really vaccums!". Yeah, it doesn't, it's just a toy vaccum. Fun and cute, my son likes to push and pull things around. We got this so he would learn to not be afraid of mommy's vaccum.

Buy Bark Bark Vac Mitts Now

Makes a woofing sound when you push it.

The ears wag, the eyes roll, and the "debris"

inside the canister rolls around.

It's hysterical

My 2 year old grandson pushes all around the house

and it keeps his attention. He imitates Mom with her vacuum.

Tail fell off but is easily reattached and does not effect

use of toy.

Well my son loves to "vacuum" when I do, so I thought this would be a nice idea. He loves dogs so I figured it would go over well. My son is 3 and he's not tall for his age, but this was really short. He still tried it out. I think what he liked the most was the noise the dog made when he stopped vacuuming. The dog whimpers at the end, and my son would make the sound as well. He purposly stopped it all the time to hear that noise. After he heard the noise a few times that would be the end and he'd reach for his ball popper and use that instead. I asked him next time I vacuumed if he wanted to go get the dog, and he would not. So I think it has been used a total of 3 times for 5-7 minutes at a time. Oh well I struck out. I think the design is very cute, maybe better for a younger child? Not sure.

I was disapointed. It said it had an adjustable handle, but it didn't make it much longer. The children had to bend over to use it properly which was awkward. They rarely play with it, but instead use one we bought at the Goodwill which is taller.

Kids Preferred Label Loveys Little Comfort Cuddly Tactile Toy

Kids Preferred Label Loveys Little Comfort Cuddly Tactile Toy, Lovey ElephantUltra-cute little fellow. So soft and huggable. You just have to love it! Fun for my little to play with, she loves it so much and will not put it down.

This was a gift from someone and I thought it was quite ugly. My daughter, however has loved it since she was just a few months old. She sleeps with it every night and I should order another one for when this one is inevitably destroyed by her love!

Random Blocks - Marble Ball Track Accessory

Random Blocks - Marble Ball Track AccessoryI purchased this product in conjunction with two other Haba products as Christmas presents for my nephews and had them shipped directly to them. I didn't realize this, but these are Kugelbahn products ffrom Germany, which are very durable and which my brother and sister-in-law like to get for the kids. When I saw them play with the sets, it was great. They were having a good time figuring out how to get the marbles to go where they wanted and building different configurations of the blocks. These are awesome toys.

Disney Baby Princess Music and Lights Walker, Pink

Disney Baby Princess Music and Lights Walker, Pinki bought this walker for my daughter after she wore out her first one. i thought it looked cute and i loved the idea of stationary toys and the opening trays.

the walker was easy to assemble, did it myself, but i was disappointed to find that although the box advertises it is for four months and up it clearly is not.

my daughter is going on eight months and cannot reach the floor in this walker. i am not sure if perhaps ours just has a defect and is supposed to go lower, but it seems to click into the lowest setting just fine it looks to be correct. but that's a four month difference and had i known that i would not have purchased it.

also, it's not the best walker in terms of your child getting around. the one i had before this had eight wheels and she could run all over and turn easily. this is one of the walkers where they can't really back up and/or turn easily which may be a bonus for some parents, but i found it to be annoying and my daughter gets frustrated in it after having one previously that could go anywhere.

OVERALL: it's very cute and in general it is well made. i just want to point out some of the flaws so you don't waste your money if your child is only four or five months old and you find they're stuck in the air because they can't reach!

4 out of 5 stars.

hope this helped!

My third daughter is in 75%tile for height and her feet are 5 inches off the ground for this product on its lowest setting. As a result she banged her head on the toy in front as she couldn't reach the ground to stabilize herself. It was also very difficult to put the toys on top and required some screws to be taken out then put back in.

By the time she FITS in this product she will already be walking and will not need it!!

Im returning it today, cute, but much too tall, and no way for a 4 month old baby. I wont buy further products from them based on how unhappy we are with this product.

Unless your baby is built like Yao Ming, I would PASS;)

i purchased it coz its very girly girly , but box says 4 months and up , my daughter is almost 7 months and she is tall baby , she still needed 3 inches for her toes to touch the floor, just waste of time and gas and 35 minutes wait to retuned it ,

Bottom line.... false advertising...with intent to mislead consumers. My daughter is 8 months old and 28 inches and her feet STILL are not flat on the floor. This walker says from 4 MONTHS UP! No way... such a waste of money. The toys on this walker are incredibly LAME. Please DO NOT buy this.. you will waste your money. I have no clue how this walker has some good reviews because it simply is a piece of junk.

The front of the seat has three mounting buttons that should lock into the three mounting holes on the tray to secure the seat. After placing our granddaughter in the seat, we found that these buttons will not stay locked into place, causing the seat to fall in front. Another example of a company using popular Disney characters to sell poorly made merchandise.

Schylling Ambi One Man Band

Schylling Ambi  One Man BandI got this for a friend's child and she loves it! It's fun for babies to play with and, like the description says, bright colors are recommended for young children since it helps them fix their eyes on something. It's very cute and has a good variety of sounds so kids don't get bored.

Sing & Discover Piano

Sing & Discover PianoI bought this toy for my friends daughters first birthday and it was at our house for about a week before we gave it to her. In that time my 3 month old daughter fell in love with it as well.

This is a great piano with a lot of different things to explore and play with. There are 5 keys which have a different color, animal and musical instrument represented by each key. It has a drum and sound effects joy stick as well as a karaoke microphone! There is a little dog that moves back in forth to time with the music who is "the leader" of the band.

There are different modes of play with this piano as well. When one mode is chosen you play the keys as its a piano. Another mode allows the name of the color of the key to be said as well as the animal and the type of sound the animal makes. Then another mode plays the style of music represented by the instrument on the key. You have classical, jazz, country and an island type jamaican tune with a few others. The drum counts each pat you make or just acts as a drum. And the sound effects joy stick and karaoke microphone are just too much fun!

My friend said her daughter loves to play with the microphone to sing.

There are lots of lights on here to interest a younger baby. My daughter just loved to listen to the music and watch the lights. I think they should change the reccomended age on this toy to a younger age. Even if your baby cant sit up on her own you can hold this toy with her on your lap and they will like to explore it and look at it. As they get older they will get more interactive.

A fabulous toy at a great price. And the music sounds good too which is a plus!

This is the only electronic toy you need! My 10 month old just got this and she plays w/ it for at least 30 min at a time, a couple times a day. The 3 modes, five piano type keys, 4 directional joy-stick, drum, microphone, guitar playing dog, and 15 LED lights provide a smorgasbord of musical and educational fun.

Counting/Colors/Animals Mode: tap the drum and hear the beats being counted. Press the keys for the color and/or animal name featured on the key and a short tune in the instrument featured on the key.

Listen Mode: each key starts a new classic or nursery song; add animal noises by pressing the keys, drum beats by tapping the drum, puppy noise by pressing pumpy's head, and 4 other funny noises by moving the joy-stick. Swirl the joy-stick to speed up the music and hold it down to slow the music. Sing along using the real microphone.

Play Mode: make your own music using the keys, drum, and joy-stick.

Practicallity: uses easy to find, always on hand AA batteries. Features auto shut-off after inactivity to preserve battery life, but can be switched off to prevent accidental activation, etc. 2 volumes (I think the lowest is loud enough, and could be just a bit quieter, but still, I haven't gotten annoyed yet because of all the variety.)

Bottom Line: This is the most action-packed electronic toy out there and at a very good price too. It is the only one of its kind that you will need, and you do need it.

Buy Sing & Discover Piano Now

I purchased this toy for daughter in the exchange of one gift toy. My daughter couldn't stop playing it in the store. So I had to buy it. She enjoys it everyday. She dances on the music. If the music stops, she plays one more key and again the new music starts. Drum is a very good idea. She plays that too. I'm sue she will start counting with that soon. I would recommend this toy to anyone who loves music. This is 100% worth the money. And better than other so called piano's that kids just hit for some time and then get bored because it doesn't play any music by itself.

I purchased this item for my baby's 1st birthday, and also for my god child's 1st birthday. They both love the sounds, lights and movement of the dog. My daughter loves that she can hear her own voice on the microphone. My 12 year old son even enjoys playing with it, with or with out his sister. I am going to by this toy again in January for my husbands god child.

My daughter, who is 22 months, still loves this toy that we got for her 1st birthday. It drives me nuts though. She pulled on the microphone some and after a while it got so staticky that you could barely hear the music! I exchanged it for another (would have returned it, but didn't keep the receipt) but the same thing happened with the second one. She doesn't even pull the microphone anymore, but it's still a static nightmare. I can hear her bringing it down the hall crackle, crackle, craaaaackle, craaaaaack! This would be a great toy without the mic. Would not buy this again.

Baby Dolls: My First Doll, Hailey by Kids Preferred

Baby Dolls: My First Doll, Hailey by Kids Preferredit is nice, soft and I love it more than my dauther at this time. I recommended for 1st baby's doll. Baby can sleep with it. It isn't too big or small.

My daughter received this from her grandmother when she was born. We waited to give it to her until we knew she could hold it. Now she doesn't want any other dolls. This is soft and washable, and perfect for her to hug at night now that she's 2 years old. We've already bought extra dolls to keep in the car and at grandma's.

I chose this doll because it is machine washable. Many are not. It is my granddaughter's favorite "lovey". I wish, however, that it was not made in China......

Read Best Reviews of Baby Dolls: My First Doll, Hailey by Kids Preferred Here

My mom bought this doll for my daughter when she was first born and 2 1/2 years later she still cannot go anywhere without it! I love that the doll is soft and well made, so I never worried about putting it in the crib with my daughter, and she just simply loves it. We have to bring it everywhere we go and of course it has to go to bed with her each night too. After over two years of being carried everywhere (and washed multiple times) the original baby was starting to get pretty limp and worn so I purchased a backup. Good thing because her father took her to the circus last weekend and lost the original! Not sure how I would have made it through if I hadn't had backup baby!

She got several plush dolls when she was born, but this one is the only one that stuck as a "lovey" and is definitely her go to comfort toy. I love how my daughter trys to mother "baby." She talks to her and explains things to her. She tells her not to worry if she hears a noise and if she drops her she picks her up, hugs her and asks her if she's ok. Definitely a winner in my little girls eyes, and in mine as well due to the quality!

Want Baby Dolls: My First Doll, Hailey by Kids Preferred Discount?

My daughter is 2 1/2, and she carries this doll with her everywhere. She sleeps with it every night, and treats her as if she's another sister. After a year and a half of non stop playing, and washing, the doll started to show wear, and started to get some holes (which would be normal for the amount of play time the doll gets). My mother found the same doll at the store, so we switched out the old one for the new one. Dolly went into the washer dirty, and came out brand new :) The only difference in the dolls are the bottom of the feet. The first doll had white on the bottom with dots on it, the second one did not. The one with a smooth bottom has started to show wear much quicker than the one with the dots.

LeapFrog Learn & Groove™ Musical Table

LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical TableI got this toy for 9-month-old twins, but I was suprised to find that two to five-year-olds are also amused by it. I would not buy it specifically for older children, but if your baby has older siblings, this will be a hit with them as well.

It can become a hazard once your child is able to climb. It can become a stepping stool onto higher, dangerous places (like bookshelves and toy cabinets).

Other than that, it is a fantastic toy. There is a variety of music in there, so it is not as annoying for parents as some other electronic toys. It is also very sturdy. Ours has been through some serious abuse (it has even gotten soaked in the rain) and it still works well. Despite all the keys and buttons, it is fairly easy to clean.

I bought this table for my 7 month old since I had owned a previous version of the same thing (minus the Spanish part). Unfortunately I gave it away, so I recently purchased it again. The main board itself is great, fun, and keeps the attention of the little one. The bilingual addition to this toy is fantastic. It has a great variety of activities/sounds so not only is the little one entertained by it, parents don't have to hear the same things over and over again.

However, the legs feel really flimsy this time around. The older version had extra stabilizing 'feet' when you add the legs so there would be less tendency to tip over. I don't know why they decided to stop making them with this feature other than a cost issue on their end. Also, some of the new versions do not have the tabs on the legs, so once you attach the legs on, you cannot remove them. Which is again strange since they claim on the box that you can remove them. (apparently, the Leapfrog Company has told people to return this version to the store and get one with the tabs, but good luck finding one with tabs) The plastic legs are also more prone to bend in places it's not supposed to bend(I found this out when I tried to remove the legs.) Luckily, I was able to exchange it out as my baby doesn't stand up yet.

So, in summary, if you want to buy this table and your little one is still not ready to stand, check to see which type of legs the table comes with. If it has the tabs, you are in luck. If it doesn't, do not put the legs on until your little one is ready to stand.

My mom bought this table and I bought a Fisher Price table. The kids love the Leap Frog Table and hate the Fisher Price one. The Leap Frog one is awesome! It has two options, words or music. So for the little ones to whom words don't mean much, you can use the music reinforcement and my toddler (age 2) likes the word option now. Great for around age 8 months when they start pulling up to stand. Love Love Love this table.

There are lots of movable parts for the kids to play with the slide on the trombone moves, there is a slide on the violin, the banjo has a lever to pull, there is a barrel to roll, pages of the book to turn, shapes to press, and a compartment to open. It is very colorful and very sturdy, too. I would DEFINTELY reccomend this toy!

Eastern Jungle Gym High Back Full Bucket Swing With Coated Chain - Green

Eastern Jungle Gym High Back Full Bucket Swing With Coated Chain - GreenI purchased two of these swings for my grandchildren. I found numerous swings on line similiar to these and many were cheaper but I ordered these because they included the plastic coated chains. When I received the swings the chains were in the box but not attached to the swings like shown in the pictures and there was no hardware included for attaching them to the swings. I had to make a trip to the hardware store to purchase the pieces I needed to attach the chains to the swings. You need two for a swing at $2.49 each at Lowes. The chains are also too short to attach to anything other than a typical A-frame swing set so if you plan to hang this from anything else plan on buying more chain. You will also need some type of connector if you plan to connect the swing to a typical A-Frame. For the price and through viewing the picture, I really expected to pull these out of the box and hang them up or at least have the chains attached to the swings. One of my daughters recently ordered a similiar swing for my other grandchild. These swings look identical but hers came with longer chains and they were attached to the swing. I recommend you make sure the chains are attached to the swings before purchasing.

This swing is exactly like the ones you see at the park. It's very durable. Easy to set up. The leg holes are a little small though, so we'll see if, once it wears in and forms to our son's bum that it becomes more comfortable. So far, so good.

I bought two of these swings because I have a 2 year old and 11 month old. They are defnitly good quality and look nice. The only problem I have with them is that the chains are a little too long, and that there is far too much room in the swing. It states on the back of the swing they are meant for 2-5 year olds but how many 5 year olds swing in a "baby" swing? I'm just going to put a towel in there with them to make it a little more comfy. Even with those issues, I stil wouldn't hesitate to buy these swings again or suggest them to a friend with kids.

Ducky Duck Beverage Napkins (16 count)

Ducky Duck Beverage NapkinsAm not for sure why this item is showing up under toys -thus, the ratings for educational value and durability are being left blank. Anyway, the general theme of the baby shower I am hosting is the little yellow duck. The book, Little Quack has an adorable little duck that is not totally like the traditional plastic little yellow ducks. Using that book, as a general look, I found these Ducky Duck Beverage Napkins (16 count)to be a better match than Creative Converting Lil' Quack Beverage Napkins, 16 Count. The colors of the napkin are every bit as bright as the picture on my computer; thus, not pastel. The vender, Big Dot of Happiness, was very quick to mail the napkins out. Am very pleased!

Crocodile Creek Horses Placemat

Crocodile Creek Horses PlacematThe picture is already fading and colors coming off. I only washed it by hand with soap and water and the picture now looks crappy. It does protect table, but it should last longer for what it cost.

We love Crocodile Creek placemats, they are so cute and artsy and sometimes even educational! They also lack the annoying licensed characters you see EVERYWHERE. These placemats are just what they are; thin, vinyl placemats. We do notice that if they are scrubbed too hard (like if you let food dry on them before wiping) the color will tend to come off. They also slide pretty easily on smooth surfaces. But as a cute kid placemat, they serve their purpose. Prices fluctuate a lot on Amazon (I have seen price changes of up to three dollars over the span of a few days) and a lot of different sellers seem to sell them; don't pay more than $5 or you're getting ripped off.

I have a few of these Crocodile Creek placemats. They are by far the most attractive placemats I have found. BUT, they are the LEAST durable.

They would be better play mats but not good for eating and wiping clean. Not a great purchase.

Gund Lil Fuzzy Plush Bear

Gund Fuzzy Chocolate 13.5' Bear PlushI purchased this bear for my 20 month old son and it has been a favorite since. "Bear" goes with him EVERYWHERE. Bear has been great for my son's sense of security and a true best friend. My son would cry whenever we dropped him off at the church nursery until he began taking bear with him, since then he walks right in carrying bear and takes bear to play with the trains or go down the slide. We even use bear to teach behavior lessons we want our son to learn, he takes it well since he feels he isn't the one being corrected (he's very stubborn). "Please tell Bear he needs to sit on his bottom so he won't fall and get hurt!" Since bear goes everywhere with our son, he gets sweated on while sleeping, gets dragged through the garden and swingset, dragged through plates of food, etc. Bear sometimes smells more like a monkey so we wash him at least twice a week (I have to wait for my son to fall asleep at night, sneak in and kidnap bear and hope and pray my son doesn't wake up during the night before bear is dry enough to replace). I put him in the washer then take him out and let him air dry overnight. He's held up great so far (we've had him for two months now) but I am buying two replacements in case he doesn't hold up much longer or we lose him. My son carries this bear everywhere and gives him about 100 kisses each day. He would be so sad if he ever lost his best bear friend. There are other animals available too. My daughter has the white bunny. I would think any kid would enjoy this but it is just perfect for a toddler to handle.

Our now 16-month-old son received this bear when he was born and it's been with him ever since. He holds the bear by the ear and sucks his thumb. Unfortunately the stitching that attaches the nose to the face has come undone (and I have resown it) and the fur on the bear is no longer fuzzy from all the washings. Now the stitching around the neck is loose and the ears may not last much longer. It is a cute bear, but when I work in a replacement, it will be a similar-looking bear from Jellycat, since our 3-year-old has one from that company and it is much more durable.

I bought this for my 1 year nephew since he has a lot of plastic toys. I was surprised to see how thin and small he was but as my husband pointed out "Honey, he's a baby. It's a great size for his little body" So true. It's light and super soft. He has a sweet face and will make a great gift for a little one.

Mary Meyer Sweet Rascals, Sweet Joey Roo, 9'Soft, well made, and easy to clean. Bought this for my 4 year old and she loves it. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

The stuffed animal was exactly as advertised. We used it as a prop and was perfect for that. Looks like a good stuffed Kangaroo for anyone that wants one.

I was watching an episode of one of my favorite shows and In it I saw the cutest little Kangaroo Plush. I love stuffed animals so when I saw it on t.v. I wondered about having one of my own. I have to say that After ordering this Sweet little kangaroo I would recommend it to anyone. It's soft and totally adorable.

Right before leaving America to go live in Africa I lost my first Kangaroo. Recently I told a friend I lost the cutest cuddly toy as a child and guess what arrived in the mail? This cuddly toy is sweet and adorable and super soft. The fur on the Mary Meyer Sweet Joey Roo is super plush and cuddly. Since the paws are filled with a heavier filling (little plastic beads), this plush animal toy can be positioned to have different moods. She can sit perfectly like a puppy waiting for a treat. Move her head to the side and she looks sleepy. Children will love this toy and I must admit, it is the cutest stuffed toy I've ever seen or owned.

Under The Nile Animal Print Sleeping Doll Lovie

Under The Nile Animal Print Sleeping Doll LovieMy son never really enjoyed using a pacifierbut he used this doll as a teething/soothing toy for a long time. We named her saliva sally, and she was so treasured that she is included in the presents to all expecting friends. I highly recommend the producteasy to clean and softthe perfect toy for roadtrips or sleeping. The hands and face are a little bit firmer so when my son teethed he would chew on those parts and it seemed to provide a lot of relief for himone of the best purchases we made when he was little :)

This makes a great gift for little kids and babies. My niece loved it and the baby will too. It is very soft and well made!

I love how soft it is, clean stitches, cute design but it's very small. It's definitely not the blanket lovie, it's tiny and very light weight that newborn baby can hold it. Even though it was smaller than I expected, my 8 months old baby still loves it anyway.
