Care Bears Wipes Travel Case

Care Bears Wipes Travel CaseWhat is there really to say? It's a wipes travel case with a Care Bears sticker on it. The case opens and closes fine and since it's made of plastic, it's pretty durable. I just got it because I grew up in the 80s and thus am a fan of Care Bears.

I wanted some cute baby wipe containers, but once I had the baby I realized how difficult this product was. When you are hold the baby with one hand and trying to get a wipe out, it is impossible. The top just flips open (obviously) and the stack is placed inside, so you do have to use too hands to pull the wipes apart. This item is now sitting in a drawer being unused. I feel it was a waste of money. On the positive side the Care Bears rock and it was really cute!

Product works well as a travel wipes case. I was unable to find any besides disposable small packages of wipes at local stores and found this product on-line. Very useful, I can fill it with ease and it opens and closes well.

Thomas the Train: Bounce and Ride Thomas

Thomas the Train: Bounce and Ride ThomasLove this train!! A huge hit with my 3 yr old and 1 1/2 yr old grandsons. It was very easy to blow up and is very durable even with 2 wild boys jumping and tumbling on it. They love pushing the red button to hear the "Thomas song" and the train sounds. Its very light so it can be put up out of the way without deflating. Very happy with this purchase.

All this is, is an expensive blow up toy. The only bounce is from kids jumping up and down. My two year old was thrilled to get it anyway but it got a leak after three days. I would give it more stars if it was not so expensive. I wouldn't mind if it had only cost 5 dollars which is all it is worth.

My nephew really liked Thomas, so I decided to give this to him for his birthday. And boy, did he love it so much that he constantly rode this everyday.

But then, after a few weeks of play, it was kind of deflating all too easily. Now it's rendered useless in the attic. Wish the manufacturers had provided something like a repair kit of sorts with the package. Just my two cents!

Silly Safari Costume, Turtle Costume

Silly Safari Costume, Turtle Costume, SmallWell made and absolutely adorable!!!

My 3 year old son had a blast trick or treating on Halloween and, I'm sure, will continue to wear throughout the year (as a play costume/dress up clothes).

This is an adorable costume. It's high quality and looks to be very durable. Only problem we had was my toddler refused to wear it. The shell is heavy enough it tugs on the neck, and the headpiece is great, but the elastic around the face can be a bit irritating. If your child isn't picky about stuff like that, go for it. I loved it for the 5-10 minutes he would actually wear it :)

I am really rating my experience with Amazon on this transaction and the quality of RUBIES costumes. We were unable to use the costume yet (see below) but it looks cute!

Just received the costume from Amazon and it was MISSING the entire head piece. It was clear that the packaging had been opened so who knows where it is? There was not even an invoice or packing slip included in the box to enable me to return it easily, so I had to go back online and figure out how to print it all. Really Amazon? Could someone at least LOOK at the product and box before you mailed it out? Also, we ordered the TODDLER size for my almost 3 year old. He wears a 2 or 3T in clothing, and the Toddler size says it fits sizes 2-4??? It was WAY too small. We are taking a chance and reordering the SMALL size and HOPEFULLY it will contain all pieces. We had a similiar issue with a Star Wars costume we ordered from another company that was also made by RUBIES. The helmet was really messed up and POOR POOR quality for the price and basically not usable. Overall, I am not impressed with this costume company either.

Little Tikes First Slide

Little Tikes First SlideMy 2.5 yr old daughter loves her slide and loves inviting her 3 yr old cousin over to the house to play on it. The way the slide levels out at the bottom allows for a safe landing and helps me relax when I see the girls going down backwards and/or head first(I don't encourage this, but we all know, turn your head for a second and the kids are creating new ways to play with their toys). They follow each other up the steps, and the slide is sturdy without sway. I'm very happy with the slide.

I bought this slide for my 2-yr old niece but was surprised that my 17-yr old son could climb the steps and even slide down it. The steps are nice and wide for her to step on safely and the handle features are nice for her to hold on to. She loves to slide down, run back around and do it over and over and over. So far no problems, looks very durable and stable. Overall good toy for the price.

He loves it and plays everyday. We've had it for almost 2 months. I almost went with the shorter one, but am glad I didn't, since this is the perfect height. The thing snaps together in 60 seconds or less. It isn't prone to tipping, since the legs are wider than appear on the picture. No sharp edges to catch or cut. The plastic is extra thick, so I can't imagine "ever" wearing it out or cracking it. I should've gotten it for him a year ago.

This product arrived on time and in good condition. It took all of 5 minutes to attach the ladder and the handles. I ordered this for my 18 month old granddaughter...and her 6 year old sister. Both of them love it and it is sturdy enough for the 6 year old and easy enough to climb for the 18 month old. Both of the girls have enjoyed this for four days straight. I would use this indoors more than out because they land pretty hard at the bottom until they are older. But I would definitely buy this again.

Want Little Tikes First Slide Discount?

It's not horrible, but it is a bit flimsier than little tikes outdoor toys usually are. Made with a different plastic (more like a toy truck than a normal outdoor toy) that is also not textured so the slide is a little grippy on skin or rubber (like the soles on shoes), and the plastic scratches easily which is more nocticable bc of the lack of texture. Our other little tikes items are all made with a thicker plastic that has a very light ( not really noticeable until you don't have it) matte texture so scratches go unnoticed and bottoms slide smoothly down.

Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Cruise-Around Activity Lion

Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Cruise-Around Activity LionMy daughter just turned 10-months and she's been climbing and standing up on me but there really wasn't a place that was suitable in our home. The couches are over tile and our baby's play area didn't have anything for her to practice standing or cruising. I read reviews for other toys and most were mixed "a door the trapped fingers", "tipped over", "slid on the floor", "not entertaining", etc. When this was released even without the reviews I bought it for my daughter and I was very surprised and happy over this purchase. It doesn't slide on the carpet or a thin rug. The feet that come with it are wide and provide traction, so it's never slid even when she leans with all her body weight on it. It's never tipped over. She's able to lean and pull on the toy with all her weight while standing and SITTING down. There are no parts that with trap or pinch her fingers. I would only change the color of the ball underneath, since it's clear it's not as noticable next to the yellow of the toy unless she's crawling up to it. I also wish there were noise makers on the top (currently they're on the side). Otherwise great toy if your child is standing-cruising-sitting down.

I just got this for my son and right out of the box the eyes were half rubbed off. I debated just returning it but decided that besides being a complete hassle, my 7 month old probably wouldn't care about that anyway. So I put it together which was fairly easy and then put it on the floor for my son to play with. He absolutely loves his Stride to Ride Lion which looks similar so I figured he would love this as well. Now, while he may like this toy "okay", I have to say that I do not think it is worth the price. The spinning ball on the top doesn't spin easily, the lights and sounds are nothing spectacular and I don't know why the green and red button-things on the top are there since they just go up and down. Overalll I think this toy is pretty boring and simple and feel that it is definately not going to be enough to keep my son's attention.

Buy Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Cruise-Around Activity Lion Now

That is the reason behind buying this toy. Our baby is at the stage where she seeks to find something, anything to pull up with. The problem is that we have few things in the house for that and it all leads to landing on a concrete floor. This lion can sit on our cushioned rug area and does not slip.

I luv how there are many areas of interest to keep the little one busy when standing up gets tiring after a while. The ball hanging under the lion bridge is especially entertaining since it makes a noise when hit.

The eye of our lion was partially rubbed out (looks to be a common issue).. bad packaging if you ask me, but easily fixed with a permanent black marker.

All in all, good purchase and does what it says.

P.S. there is volume control on the toy.. awesome feature! The lion's laugh sounds too much like Barney but more annoying.

My son started pulling up on the furniture at 5 months. He isn't ready to walk yet but needed something other than the TV stand for support. This is awesome! It is not mobile so you don't have to worry about it moving. Now at 6 months it supports his 18 pound frame. It is entertaining to him. Teaches cause and effect. He loves it, I love it. A reviewer said it was too short. My son is 26 3/4 inches and it is the perfect height. I would suggest for a kid that is mobile but not ready to walk.

Want Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Cruise-Around Activity Lion Discount?

When I bought this toy, my baby was would sit and play. Now she can hold on to the toy, standup by herslef and play. she loves playing with this toy. she is able to operate/navigate all the items...the rollers, flower, etc, except the lady bug. She finds it hard to move it up and down. But I am sure, soon she will be able to enjoy that too.

Only one con though would be to some how have grip on the paws so that it doesnot slide away on the floor. It doesnot have good grip, so always make sure that is it resting against the wall or couch. I always keep an eye on my baby to make sure she doesn't fall.

TY Beanie Baby - JAZ the Cat

TY Beanie Baby - JAZ the CatThis is a real cut kitty. I like the fuzzy pastel furr. Considering the tie-dye appearence of the fabric, the colors are random, which would mean that each cat will be a bit different. It has a purple ribbon tied in a bow around his neck. He has a cute pink nose and pink wiskers (made of strands of yarn). It has blue eyes with black pupils. It has purple fuzzy fabric on the bottom of his paws.

Denim Dress, fits 12 inch baby dolls

Denim Dress, fits 12 inch baby dollsMy 4 year old daughter received this as a gift for her birthday 3 months ago. Her favorite doll is the Corolle Tidoo. She loves to be able to change her baby's clothes and this outfit is so cute! My only complaint at this point is the quality of the white fabric. After 3 months, the white clothing has pills all over it and it really detracts from the cuteness. The jumper seems to be much higher quality fabric.

In order to make my 2yr old granddaughter's Corolle birthday gift more special, I added this dress to purchase. She loves it becauuse it is easy to put on and take off. Denim is our. Whole family's style.

Neurosmith Dot the Musical Dragon

Neurosmith Dot the Musical Dragonwe purchased this for our grandson for Valentines' day. He has not received it yet and is only 2 months old but I truly believe he will love the colors, music, flashing lights and other sounds it makes. I wish it had more interactive noises/sounds/ visual affects. IE push he bottom of his feet or his ears and a sound would happen-like a squeak. Our 2 year old granddaughter loved it at Christmas!! Had a hard time getting it away ftom her.

After about two months of occasional play in 'demo' mode (we left it in 'demo' because the full songs in 'musical' were annoying and 'interactive' was too sensitive to any sort of bump or movement) it one day just froze up. The lights came on when activated but never blinked (as is normal) for several mins with no music. Then suddenly it would start playing like a brocken record spasticly. Complete junk! My son didn't even like it when it did work right.

5-way Giant Bead Maze

5-way Giant Bead MazeMy husband's parents recently bought this for our 11mo. & 23mo. old daughters. They love this toy! There are so many activities that it keeps them entertained for a long time. We also bought magnetic letters to go on the magnetic side of the box. I like that there is space inside to either flip the top maze into or store some toys to keep your livingroom more organized. I suggest covering the corners though with some sort of foam. My youngest did get a little knot on her head from it. Overall, I hate the price but love the toy!

We got this toy for our 16 month old daughter for Chanukah. She loves it and plays with it non-stop when we are home. However she fell the other day and cut her eyebrow on the corners. They should be rounded, which they are not. We will put something on the corners so that she will not get hurt again. Other than that point this product is great and teaches them many different things.

What a breath of fresh air compared to over stimulating, musical toys. This toy encourages cognitive thinking as well as improves coordination. My son is 16 months old and absolutely loves playing with all of the activities. It is a must for children :)

We got this for our 12 month old son and while there are some things that are a bit annoying, such as the fact that you can take the roller coaster top off and my son has pinched his fingers in it. However, I think it's a bit of a learning process and you can also easily leave the top off and play with that part on the floor. He likes to move that around as well as the entire cube. So far, I really like this product and so does my son.

i agree with the earlier comnment about the top piece not being bolted down, but i dont't think it could cause death or serious injury. my daughter is 18mo and she walks with the top piece and uses it for a single toy and after finishing she returns it to the unit so i think that's a plus. she is unable to carry or push the entire unit. she loves it and i enjoy seeing her have fun with it

Levels Of Discovery Fairy Wishes Table and 2 Chair Set Pink/White

Levels Of Discovery Fairy Wishes Table and 2 Chair Set Pink/WhiteMy 5-year old loves this table to eat at, do homework, draw, arts and crafts, etc. Quality seems good for a kids' item, and so far, no problem wiping off spills or washable markers (not sure about paint or permanent markers).

I also like that it does not have over-commercialized characters like Disney princesses like so many others but rather just a whimsical design.

Also, I had this out of the box and put together in under 10 minutes.

Love love love it! Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. Excellent quality, best price of anywhere. Will definitely be buying matching vanity.

9.5" Musical Sleeping Pink Bear

9.5' Musical Sleeping Pink BearI got this for my niece and apparently she just loved it. She took it everywhere with her, rain or shine and through all the fun a toddler has she's managed not to destroy it yet. It's very soft, a bit tricky to wash because of the music player, but apparently durable.

Alphabet Blocks

Alphabet BlocksMy husband and I bought these blocks as extras for the Incrediblock we'd purchased for our then nine-month-old son. While my son wasn't (and still isn't) wowed by the Incrediblock (you can see my review on that page), he does enjoy playing with the Alphabet Blocks.

I like the fact that each block has a big capital letter, and inside, something that starts with that letter; for example, the "D" block has a dog. We'll be able to use these blocks for a long time because of that; I can imagine spending time with my son and teaching him that "C" is for cat -and he'll be able to see both to make that association.

My son, on the other hand, couldn't care less at this point about the letters of the alphabet (he'll soon be one year old), but he does enjoy stacking and knocking over the blocks, banging them together, and especially shaking the ones that make noise. One of his favorites is the "I" block, which has an ice cream sundae inside with lots of sprinkles that rattle merrily when he shakes it.

All in all, this is a good, affordable, durable, educational and fun set of blocks. My family continues to be very pleased with them.

I really love all the Fisher Price Peek a Blocks---I saw them long before I knew we'd have a surprise #3 baby and I would actually have an excuse to buy them! Now we own pretty much all the sets. I would have to say this set, although big, is one of the weaker ones. The letters on the sides sometimes block seeing what's inside too well, and the toys inside are not as interactive or interesting as is the case with some of these blocks---for example, a horse that just sits there, a zylophone that doesn't move much, an apple that turns. I like their blocks with tiny things to shake inside or the like---the kind of things babies can't generally play with as they are too small, but that are made safe by being enclosed! Also, having ABCs is most just a way to have a set here I think---unless you are very into early learning, I don't think most babies are really ready to associate the letters with the toys inside (I know SOME babies are, but not that many, and not mine!) However, all this said, I still would say to buy this set, if you know you like this kind of block---It's great to add 26 more in one fell swoop!

Buy Alphabet Blocks Now

I bought these blocks for my daughter when she was 9 months old and she really only enjoys them now. She is 14 months now and is starting to recognize some of the objects inside when I ask her to get them. But be warned bc they're not great for the real younger babies since there are only a few of them that really do anything like beep or rattle. Most of them just have a stationary object that may jiggle a bit. The ones that you can twist yourself are not child-friendly. She can't turn the knob at all so she gets frustrated. My 3 yr old can just do it. He likes them too bc they incorporate the alphabet. Another thing is that the printed letters block some of the objects so it's harder to see inside. I would more so recommend a diff set for a younger baby (6 mos)like the sound sensations and these for an older child (1 yr). Although you can't beat the price for 26 of these blocks! I also just recently got the Roll-A-Rounds by fisher price as a gift. It's the same concept but a ball vs block. She likes them ALOT!

Read Best Reviews of Alphabet Blocks Here

After "eyeing" this toy for several months and being hesitant to buy it because of the cost, we finally broke bown and purchased it when our daughter was 15 months old. We're very glad we did!

Our daughter loves shaking the blocks, banging them together and knocking over the blocks after we stack them up for her. She really likes putting them all into a plastic bin and then taking them all out again! The letter written on each block is meaningless to her right now, but that time will come.

We plan to keep these blocks for a few years. As our daughter approaches school age, the blocks will be a great tool to help teach and reinforce letter-sound association. We believe she may never be too old to benefit from her Peek-A-Boo blocks. We know we're not!

Consider donating your set to a local library or school when you're done with them.

This set incorporates a lot of the favorites from other sets packaged in an A to Z learning format. I have been leary of purchasing too many of these blocks for storage reasons so the zippered case is a great bonus. Definitely worth every penny.

Bumkins Junior Bib

Bumkins Junior Bib, Pink FizzI wish I'd known about these bibs when my daughter first started eating solids because I would've saved a lot of time cleaning up. They cover her shoulders and really are waterproof. She's even spilled soup down the front of her and her clothes stayed clean. I highly recommend them!

I like this style and brand the best. I have tried many and have a drawer full to prove it. This material is machine washable which is nice b/c some are not. dries quickly, hang/line dry. This also covers chest, belly, and shoulders. By putting the arms through the arm slots it prevents it from shifting. plus it has a longer front with a pocket so it catches most food and keeps the lap clean.

I wish I used these from the beginning. My daughter loves to eat and is a very messy eater. I used to have to put a burp cloth or kitchen towel in her lap and around her waist and then a bib on top of that. This bib covers her well onto her lap, her shoulder area and the pocket on the bottom catches crumbs. It's so easy to clean too. I just wipe it down after she eats and at the end of the day I quickly wash it with dish soap and hang it to dry. I only have two and it works out great. I used to have a basket full of bibs and go through about 3 or 4 a day.

Chicco Colors Mobile

Chicco Colors MobileI bought this for my, then, 4 month old daughter. She had always been interested in mobiles, and we decided to get one that moved on its own. The reason I chose this mobile specifically is because the advertisements on the website made it seem like the lights on the mobile were much brighter than they actually are. When you put the pieces of fabric over the lights, the lights are invisible. Without the fabric, the lights are still barely visible. You also can't just have the mobile move in its own. You HAVE to play the music for that. I returned the product in an instant. I would not recommend this product to anyone! I'm sure there are plenty of better mobiles out there that are cheaper, too.

I purchased this almost 2 years ago for my son, from another company. It looks much more gender neutral in person. I was specifically looking for something simple that played classical music. My son spent his first 6 months in my room and his first mobile was too annoying. This one is perfect. The music box has a light up button that is easy to push and my son quickly learned how to kick it on. The mobile arm comes off so when the child is older they can still have a music box. I read the other reviews and have to disagree about the fairy lights. The red and yellow were plenty bright enough, but yes the blue was very hard to see. I only gave it 4 stars because the thing died after a year. I would buy this again, in fact it is why I'm on Amazon right now to find this for a friend.

I would recommend this to a friend. :)

HABA Click-clack Ball Track

HABA Click-clack Ball TrackI bought this for my 14 month old son and he loves it. He plays with the balls and the ball track. He's learning that the balls eventually end up at the end of the track when he drops them through the first hole. We like listening to the balls roll around. The blue ball has a bell in it, so he likes shaking that ball in his hand. This toy has been holding up very well. Sometimes my son tries to stand on it if it's fallen on its side, but it holds up just fine.

The twin boys I watch (almost 3) love this thing! They sit & play with it for an hour @ a time. The balls do fall off the track sometimes but it's no big deal they just put them back on (99% of the time it is the green ball that has a flat end that falls off, the other two included balls seem to do just fine). It's an expensive toy but we love it & it's nice to hear the wooden rolling noises & bell tinkle rather than sirens or other annoying noises. Glad i bought it!

Item arrived in good condition. However, I am not sure if the flag was already broken or was accidentaly broken after we opened it.

Tiny Love Wonder Wheel

Tiny Love Wonder WheelI was looking for more toys to put in the car and came across this one.. so we gave it to my daughter for Christmas (who is now 19.5 months). It is now not even in the car.. she doesnt play with it.

Wonderful concept.. but some drawbacks:

There is a picture (a pretty big picture) of a duck on the mat.. but no duck on the steering wheel! Why!? My daughter absolutely loves ducks.. so that doesnt make any sense to me.

There is a green thing that attaches to the car seat to keep the steering wheel handy.. so it can be easily accessible for your toddler.. however, my daughter got so frustrated when she couldnt get the steering wheel where she wanted it! The little green thing is short and doesnt allow you to have that much mobility with it, so my daughter was easily upset when she couldnt get the steering wheel where she wanted it.

It is loud. There is no volume control, so this is not recommended for parents who dont like loud toys.

I think this is a good concept, but the toy could use some work to make it more entertaining for the child.. so I gave this toy 3 stars.

I wasn't sure whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. I think it would get 3 1/2 if that were an option. Some people may think it is absolutely useless and some may find it to be a lifesaver. My daughter is 15 months and just like a toddler she loves it some days and is indifferent to it others. It has helped get her (and me) through a number of short and long car trips. Now that she is more interested in animals and animal sounds she can be a little more interactive with it. If you are a parent who is easily annoyed by toys with sound, I would not recommend this product...it could drive you nuts in the car.

This is fantastic for on my grandson's car seat. There is no problem getting him in and out, plus he just loves it. The sounds are a good level as he plays with it. There is no interruption of conversation it is not annoying as some can be. All the parts are soft in case of an accident there it little chance that it would cause him hurt or damage to anything. I highly recommend the Tiny Love Wonder Wheel

I'm at an impass with this toy. I like it and my children (16mos and 3) seem to like it, but it doesn't live up to the potential. The pluses are as follows: the animal sounds and song are very cute and not obnoxious or annoying. The colors are vibrant and the lights are somewhat captivating. The downfall of this toy, which is so dissapointing to me, is the failed potential. The 'idea' is creative and would seem unique but it falls shortvery short. For a very small child this might be fun but the toy is for forward facing carseated children. My 16 month-old is waaaay beyond the learning aspects this toy is suposed to capture. You press the sheep the sheep lights up and says baa. You press the dog and the dog lights up and says woofand so-on and so-on. It only plays one song that seems to go on forever. Basic is the perfect word to describe this toy. After you've pressed the four animal buttons and one song button the magic is gone and it becomes boring very fast. There is a horse pictured on the toy but there is no corresponding button to make it neigh. I've given this toy three stars for the quick-ride entertainment value. If you want something for a long ride look elsewhere. If you want something educational this misses the mark.

I like this item overall, except that there is a duck on the board but no duck to press on the wheel, and my daughter loves ducks! Also, it works well, except when I have someone sitting in the passenger seat in front of my daughter. The seat gets pushed back and her feet touch the mat and kick it out of position. Otherwise, the music is good and won't stay in your head even after you leave the car... :-)
