Bright Starts Having a Ball Roll and Chase Bumble Bee
Buy Bright Starts Having a Ball Roll and Chase Bumble Bee Now
Grandma and Grandpa got this for our son. He LOVES it! It is his favorite toy, he carries it everywhere. It has survived extensive abuse and continues to work wonderfully. He has had this toy for months, and continues to play with it everyday. A great gift for babies and toddlers.Read Best Reviews of Bright Starts Having a Ball Roll and Chase Bumble Bee Here
My husband ordered this toy for our baby for Christmas. It looked like a cute toy that our child would have fun with. Everything was fine until we took the toy out of the box. As soon as the plastic tab was pulled from the battery compartment the toy promptly quit working. Thinking that perhaps the batteries chose that exact moment to go bad I got a screwdriver to attempt to replace them. The screw just turned and turned and would not come out. I worked on it quite a while before giving up and letting other people attempt to remove the screw. No such luck. Deciding that this toy was becoming more trouble than it was worth we contacted Amazon about returning this toy as defective. We were given instructions and a return label for returning the product. Just one more thing a parent that works full-time needs to deal with.In the meantime a replacement Roll & Chase ball was shipped to us. My excitment about this quickly evaporated when I saw the condition of the replacement toy. The box was beat up and the ball was dirty and scuffed. Looked very much like a refurbished product. I was even more disappointed when I pushed the button to demonstrate the toy. It lit up and did what it was supposed to for about 2 seconds before cutting out. Ever the optimist, I thought maybe it would work once removed from the box. Once again as soon as the plastic tab was pulled out of the battery compartment this pile of junk stopped working. I wasn't even in the mood to try removing the screw to check the batteries. Once again we will have to go through the hassle of returning this product, only this time I DO NOT want another one.
We are extremely dissappointed with this product and the fact that one of the gifts that we got our baby for first Christmas turned out to be a complete dud. I'm just glad that our little one is too young to be dissappointed by this Christmas present. I would give this product zero stars if possible.

Bought this item for my grandson. Works well on carpet and he seems to like it. It has helped him learn to crawl but it does take a minute for it start again. By this time he has found an interest in something else. Fun product and would purchase again.Friday, March 21, 2014

I like how the rattle can slip onto my daughter's wrist. She's not yet very coordinated with her hands, so this feature keeps me from having to hand the rattle back to her over and over.Read Best Reviews of Mary Meyer Ella Bella 5" Elephant Rattle Here

Bunnies by the Bay Wee Plush, Emmie
They've evidently updated their animals, but neglected to update their photos.My daughter latched onto this when she was about 7 months old and it has become her favorite. She snuggles with it at naptime & bedtime. Its soft & small and contrary to the cleaning guidance, is fine in the washing machine. We have a couple in rotation.

Our son has loved this duck since he was a small baby. Dufor duck was one of his first words. We often found his face smushed into this duck; almost like a small pillow because it's a very mushy, soft animal. He carried it in his mouth when he crawled. He LOVES this stuffed animal. Very soft animals. Enjoy!Read Best Reviews of Bunnies by the Bay Wee Plush, Emmie Here
Emmie is very cute and was given to our son at 3 months old in his Easter basket. SOOOOO SOFT!!! babies like to grasp these soft, plush toys (them slime them). Enjoy!Bought this for my newborn after having bought EIGHT (yes, eight) Bunnies by the Bay for my one-and-a-half-year old. (Her lovey is Petal.) These sweet little things wash up well, are durable and are the perfect size for easy transport. They're adorable.Sunday, February 16, 2014

Fisher-Price Disney's Pop-Up Pooh
Buy Fisher-Price Disney's Pop-Up Pooh Now
This is okay nothing really special. I bought this because it was on sale and really cheap on amazon and we wanted to get a few little toys for my then 5 months old. I love Winnie the Pooh as a child so of couse I love anythign Winnie. The soft ears are nice, the yellow button is okay... the squeaky sound is not that loud and it didn't wheel very far. At first I tho this was one of those if you pulled backwards, it would just roll on it's one... that would have made this toy wayyy cooler... but it doesnt do that. I this is probably a sturdy safe toy for little babies... it's cute to look it but I don't think it's that fun after 2-3 minutes.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Disney's Pop-Up Pooh Here
It's quality is very good. and my baby like it very much.thank you very much.
Maby I will buy again.It's not what I entirely expected. Thought it would move on its own after you would pull it back but it seems like it needs a pull string. But my kid loves it so I guess it's ok.

Radio Flyer 2700Z Pathfinder Wagon, Red
Buy Radio Flyer 2700Z Pathfinder Wagon, Red Now
This wagon is awesome! The only problem I had with it though, is that the seats are hard and uncomfortable for little passengers. If you take the seat cover off of your baby swing, it fits perfectly into the wagon seat....even the seatbelt holes match up! I just ordered two matching swing covers from Graco. Now my baby can ride in and even doze off in his seat without hurting his back and head. Problem solved!Read Best Reviews of Radio Flyer 2700Z Pathfinder Wagon, Red Here
My daughter received this wagon for Christmas and we've both loved using it! I love that the wagon comes with seatbacks & seatbeats, it has 4 cup holders that are also designed to hold juice boxes. I am 5 feet 11 inches tall & the wagon's handle is just right height for pulling the wagon. What is also nice is that the 2 front wheels are on casters so that you can move the wagon around VERY easily.You can have your child sit in the wagon with the setbacks up which gives your 1 year old & older a nice place to sit with room for their legs. You can fold down the seatbacks & have the regular old fashion type of wagon that we grew up with. This is just the coolest wagon around!
Oh, the instructions where easy to read too! If you purchase this wagon you won't be disappointed, because when your children stop using you can easily use it to get mulch, plants, stones or bags of dirt, pool chemicals from your car to your backyard! Because the wagon is made using a hard plastic it is very easy to clean, just spray down with the hose the water runs out the 2 drain holes in the bottom!
Want Radio Flyer 2700Z Pathfinder Wagon, Red Discount?
Our daughter loves her Radio Flyer I mean our daughter LOVES her Radio Flyer. Every night we strap her in and take her for rides around our neighborhoods. Her favorite part when we take her down grass covered (aka bumpy) hills. She holds onto the sides and laughs the whole way down. This is possible because the Radio Flyer Pathfinder wagon converts from a standard wagon to a passenger wagon fully equipped with safety restraints (see the video).
The front wheels rotate 360 degrees making it much easier (and safer) to turn than the older style wagons
Plastic construction while some may prefer the old-school metal wagon the plastic models are rust resistant and safer
Plug holes in the bottom which make it easy to wash out with a water hose
Can be either a wagon or a two-seat transport wagon -
You can purchase Radio Flyer Wagon Canopy
Soft foam-type wheels they are not hard plastic nor are they inflatable rubber
As you would expect the wagon takes up a lot of space more than a kids bicycle. Plus, it is (almost) impossible to hang up on the wall. It also is not the easiest thing to fit into a car/van/SUV if your family gets the urge to take the wagon out for a trip.
Final Verdict While some may prefer the old-type metal wagons this is a great alternative. Our family is very happy with the choice!

Dunk & Score Alex
so I called the ALEX offices, and they explained that it works on infrared light. So we turned off the lights in the bathroom and it works like a charm. My son loves playing "basketball in the dark tubby" The lights are so bright and the cheering is great. Sort of added another fun aspect of the toy.For some reason this toy is listen on Amazon multiple times and all the other reviews say it's junk and the score board does not work. Personally, I bought it, and returned it for that exact reason, and the new one had the same problem. It's going back too. Do not buy this.This a great portable game. Unfortunately it doesn't stick to any wall.However it's kept my infant entertain.

Fisher-Price Song and Story Learning Chair
Buy Fisher-Price Song and Story Learning Chair Now
There's no doubt at all that this Song & Story Learning Chair is cute, educational, fun for toddlers, and worth buying; however, the chair has serious -no, egregious -stability issues that come from a design flaw. The chair is not properly weighted or designed: it flips up and over when my toddler gets up from the chair as he touches anywhere on the storybook or table area. The chair tips over far too easily for its targeted age range, and this *is* a serious design flaw and problem for parents. Toy designers know that safety is the number issue, and I cannot believe that Fisher-Price did not follow through and correct this second iteration of its musical chair.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Song and Story Learning Chair Here
I bought this for my son when he was old enough to sit up on his own and pull himself up...I would say, about 6 months. He has played with it EVERY SINGLE day since then. Now, he is 13 months and still loves the heck out of it!! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from us!As for any "mechanical" issues or anything like that, we have had NO problems whatsoever with it. We just put it together, according to the directions, slapped in some batteries, and TA-DA!!! Super easy to put together!I bought this for my seven month old daughter from Craigslist and she just adores it. I can not get her off of it. She likes to sit sideways in it and climb all around it. I put thick couch pillows behind and on the side of the chair to avoid it tipping over. My daughter likes every single thing about this chair. She likes to play with the pages, clock, lamp and the seat of the chair, all of which sing and talk. This toy keeps my daughter busy and engaged. She is 27 inches long and fits perfectly in it. Be careful when buying this product used as it had a recall. The recall included a fix for the chair which is an extra piece that is screwed on toward the back of the chair to avoid baby from getting caught between the table and back of chair.

Fisher-Price Classic Farmer Says See N Say
I admit though, my son likes this toy and it is kinda nice to have two different sides so there are more animals. However, I really wish there was a way to turn off the quiz function. Or if the quiz section was only on one side. This toy appeals to a lot of children who are too young to get the quiz thing, and it's a little disruptive when they get into the groove of learning about animal sounds (even the made-up ones) and all of a sudden the thing is asking them questions. And you either have to fix it by pointing the arrow to the correct animal yourself, or wait until it turns itself off. I mean, I'm sure it's a nice feature for kids who are big enough to understand how to do it, but I just really would rather not deal with it sometimes.

I bought this because my mom was desperate for the classic version that I played with as a kid. This isn't it. The toy is smaller and the handle is so stiff my 15 month old gets pissed trying to make it talk. Also, in the interest of cramming more animals in there are 'sounds' that are non-sense like the bunny who goes 'boing' are you kidding me? Use your cash to buy something GOOD for the baby in your life.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Classic Farmer Says See N Say Here
As many reviews as I write, I wish I would've read the others listed on here. This toy is NOT the toy you remember from the 80's. It's cheap, small, flimsy and the paint is sloppy. The handle is too hard for toddlers to pull all the way down in one fluid motion, and unless you do just that, no sound comes out. In other words, unless you pull the handle down quickly and completely, the spinner moves without making any noise kind of difficult when you have the motor skills of a 20 month old.What I was looking for was the old toy I had growing up, where you'd pull the handle and the spinner would land on an animal and give that noise "The cow says 'Moo!'" for instance. This toy has goofy sentence structure and for some reason they felt if necessary to incorporate the "quiz" square where the voice repeatedly asks you to find an animal until you physically turn the spinner to that animal and pull the handle. Again, too confusing for a toddler who just wants to hear animal sounds associated with pictures of animals. I wouldn't buy this toy for any of my younger children and am so disappointed. On top of being plain dumb, it's cheaply and poorly made. Don't waste your money as for me, I'm going look for a well-preserved original at a yard sale or bidding site.I thought this would be like the old See & Says from the '80's. My main complaint is the sound goes so fast, you can barely make out what they are saying.

Philippa Doll
Philippa is close to 15 inches long (with the hair). She is heavier than Clara and I did not think she would be easy for my younger to eventually carry around (or should I say me, in the diaper bag). Also, I thought that her face did not look quite as cute in person as it does in the picture. Clara's face is spot on. Philippa's headband, elastic, overalls, and shoes are removable and I think she would go through the wash just fine (although I would probably use a mesh bag). All of her facial features are embroidered, so no worries about paint peeling off. Her eyes are a darker blue.
The craftsmanship of this doll is fantastic and for the price, I think it's a great buy. Especially in comparison to other Waldorf style dolls that go for much more. If she was the only one offered from HABA, I would have kept her without thinking twice. We decided to go with "Elise" instead, based on the size (12") and her adorable face.
This doll (and all others we looked at in this line) are made in China.

Overall, we had so much fun and we kept it. Loved this costume for the fun and price.My son was the hit of his daycare. And it was a perfect size for him at 8mos. I would recommend
Buy Lil Characters Unisex-baby Newborn Monkey Costume Now
Purchased this costume because it said newborn and I assumed it would fit my daughter. I see now that the size says small at the end of the title but it's a little misleading. My daughter is a 3month size right now so the costume is big because it's 6-12 months but she still looks cute in it anyway so we are going to keep it. It's a very light material so be prepared to put layers underneath if you live in a cold area like I do. Other than the sizing issue the costume is adorable and looks cute on my daughter.Read Best Reviews of Lil Characters Unisex-baby Newborn Monkey Costume Here

Pajanimals Small Plush - Sweetpea Sue
While there have been some complaints about the larger versions of the toys (at least Sweetpea) being not very well made and not really looking like the characters, I am pleased to say that this smaller sized Sweetpea, which measures about 8 inches tall, is excellent. Sweetpea looks very much like the televised character and is a good size to hold in just one hand and cuddle. She is wearing her pajama dress and ribbons and also comes with a hook at the top.
I rate this as five stars in all of Amazon's rating areas except educational (and really, this shouldn't be included by default for toys that aren't specifically advertised as educational), but I still give it three stars if only because it may help kids to remember good bedtime habits, and perhaps encourage them to watch the show even more.Perfect size for my daughter she loves the pajaminals and this is perfect for her to hold onto while she watches the show!

I bought this for my 16 month old nephew and I think it is more geared for under 6 months of age..the materials are very soft and the noise it makes arent very loud. He didnt seem to be interested in them AT ALL. Also the packaging it was in was bent on one side, and because it was sort of a clear vinyl I couldnt bend it back :/ The toys themselves were fine..but giving this as a gift, it made it look cheap.Want Amazing Baby: Musical Instrument Set by Kids Preferred Discount?

I'm so jealous! My niece has one of these and I would love if they made it in adult sizes! The float itself works well, as do most intex products in my experience. The big leaf is fun and keeps kids out of the sun a little bit so it does serve a partly practical purpose in addition to being cute.
