Tolo Toys Baby Concerto
I can't fault the toy really, but whether it is worth $25 is questionable.I was surprised to read the negative reviews on this toy. It was both my daughter's and son's favorite toy at 1 year of age, so naturally I thought to buy it for my nephew's first birthday. It is still in perfect condition and plays beautifully. Yes there are less expensive pianos with a lot more features, my kids have those too. But honestly all of those features are superfluous for a toddler and have the tendency to drive parents crazy (who needs to hear a kid pounding on a piano board with horn sounds and a back up drum beat?). This toy is worth the extra money.

I'm writing a review because I was disappointed to see the others. Yes, it's expensive, but it's a fantastic toy. Both our kids loved it, and I handed it down to my niece. What's great is that it makes is a gentle, chime sound instead of the louder and more electronic noise many other toys make. It plays some classical tunes on its own with the bear moving, and it can also be switched to a mode where the child can play it like a piano. It's a do, re, mi, fa, sol scale --enough to be able to pick out a few basic songs. I was looking at it here because I'm considering it as a gift for friends with a newborn. So maybe at this price it's more of a gift kind of toy --a luxury.I can only judge based on grandchild enjoying this. Arrived on time. Actualy it was fun to play with before we wrapped it upWe don't own this toy but we have played with it in the store and my 8-month-old son thinks it's completely boring. For $5 less, you can get the adorable Vtech Sing and Discover Piano which has tons of features and will keep your little one happy for a long while.Wednesday, June 25, 2014

It brought back a lot of memories. Bought it for my gandson and he loved it! Good price and good quality!This toy does not go out of style. I had one when I was a child. To my surprise my two year old son likes putting on the arms nose and eyes. It's good for learning body parts and finger dexterity.Saturday, April 12, 2014

Bought this for a bday gift for our daughter and she loves it. She saw the twin stroller in the American Girl Store and it was way too expensive. Found this for half the price and its perfect. It all folds down nicely! Would highly recommend this!Want Mommy & Me Twin Doll Stroller with Free Carriage Bag - (Hot Pink) Discount?

Astrostar Astro Star Laser Projector Cosmos Light Lamp
Buy Astrostar Astro Star Laser Projector Cosmos Light Lamp Now
We bought this product for my daughter. When it came in the mail it was in a flat box. No where in the ordering did it say, assembly required. I was thinking hmmm I wonder why. I open the box, it is in pieces down to the part where you put the batteries in and the directions are in Chinese. Complete frustration. I am shocked that Amazon would have a company that deceiving in their store.Read Best Reviews of Astrostar Astro Star Laser Projector Cosmos Light Lamp Here
To all who wrote a bad review, before you throw your projector away, maybe you should watch this assembly video...The actual product is from a site called Infmetry, and I saw a few other videos with the product and the box is clearly not from here, which would explain why the directions were in Chinese. However, if you buy it from here on Amazon it does not tell you assembly is required, where as the site Infmetry does and an assembly video is provided on the site as well. The actual product is not AstroStar, in fact, it is called a DIY Romantic Star Light Kit, so "DO IT YOURSELF" is written in the title. Go figure... Anyway, whether you buy it off of here, or the Infemtry site, I hope you check out the video and give this product a chance. Like the others who reviewed this so well, you just have to give a little elbow grease to enjoy.

Infantino Activity Triangle

I bought this toy for the only reason that my baby is engaged in playing by himself. And this to did solve my purpose.Its very handy my little one carries it wherever he wants to play and it has been designed so well it has bead maze, rattle, and few other diff toys on each side of it which keeps the baby engaged and entertained for a long time.
I simply loved it and so my baby
Read Best Reviews of Infantino Activity Triangle Here
My baby needs to be entertained all times of the day and his mind is like a sponge the size of a house. I thought this was a perfect toy because of how many dimensions it has and various activities would keep him entertained and interested. Im afraid to say that I love this toy more than he does.Toys are personal from baby to baby. what they are captivated with ranges from their personal preferences, so to keep this review nuetral, because it isnt the toys fault, its a great toy, here are my issues.
This toy is HUGE and HEAVY. My baby, being a large baby at 7 months and 24 lbs, loves to manipulate the world around him. when he grabs this toy and tries to pick it up to explore it he cant hold it very long and sort of thrashes it all around. BEWARE! this is not a great toy to get smacked with it is hard. most of the time i take it away from him because he ends up hitting his own legs repeatedly or his face.
I only use this toy when it comes to tummy time or when he is in his highchair and cant pick it up and hurt himself.
Most of the toys have spinning elements, and while thats great there isnt a whole lot else going on. I wish he liked it better because the colors are great and the idea is amazing.
I wouldnt recommend this for a baby thats 6 months or even 7. maybe he will enjoy this in his 8th or 9th month and i will revise my review!

My five month old loves this toy. There is lots to push, pull andspin. This toy is great for improving dexterity (for hands and feet) and teaching cause and effect. The activities require various levels of dexterity so although my baby hasn't figured out two of the activities yet, it just means there will be more to discover in the future.The best thing about this toy , however, is that it is QUIET play. There are no lights, music or weird sounds. The silence is BLISS.

LeapFrog My Discovery House
Buy LeapFrog My Discovery House Now
I like how this toy can grow with the child. perfect little "busy box" type toy that they can play with when they are just sitting up... but can also be interesting to older babies/toddlers who are learning about household items and opposites, for example.the front is a door with doorbell and day/night window. also some birds on the roof. one side is a bathroom with just a bubble bath with large faucet handle and rubber ducky. you can turn the faucet and press the duck for sounds. one side has a living room with lamp and functioning light switch and a little open book. if you press the book it makes a turning page sound and then reads an excerpt of a "story" about some learning idea. then the fourth side has a kitchen... just a refrigerator that opens and has a few food items inside you can slide around. very cute.
I guess if I could change some things I might make something else in the kitchen and bathroom... those areas are a little "sparse" but there isn't room for that much in such a compact toy. and the size of the toy is nice. it isn't a huge thing so it can be easily toted around by little ones with the handle. and if it drops it isn't going to be so heavy that it hurts their feet.
currently my 14 month old likes the birds in the nest and the refrigerator the best. she is able to do all/most of the things at this age but only certain parts currently hold her attention well. but as I said, it will certainly grow with her.
I'd really give this a 4 1/2 rating, not a 4, but that isn't an option.This toy is AMAZING. I honestly thought it looked pretty simple and boring, but the kids love it. I have a 2 year old who is obsessed with light switches and a 8 month old who is into everything. They both love it. The light switch on it alone was worth it. My toddler would constantly run around the house trying to flip all the lights on & off. Now he has his own light, he plays with it daily. The other features are cute too. The singing and talking isn't over the top annoying like a lot of toys. It's pretty mellow and tolerable to hear over and over. It's a nice size too. Small enough to carry around but not so small that I have to worry about the baby choking on small parts. I'd highly reccomend this for little boys in particular.My 19 month old daughter recieved this for Christmas. I couldn't get it out of the package fast enough and she sat for 30 minutes straight with this thing when she got it. She LOVES this toy. It has doors to open and close, a light switch, a sun/moon window, bath room, kitchen and living room. The more I look at it the more I find! I haven't seen anything like this in a while. I have a 5 year old so I've been in the toy market for a while. This compares to the "good ol fashioned" toys from when we were kids. LOVE IT LOVE IT. Plus it's not too loud, and it has so many different sounds and sayings that it doesn't get annoying like those repetitive toys. It is easy for her to carry around, big enough to hold interest, but also small enough so it travels well. This will be our gift for all the first birthdays!

Brica Super Scoop Bath Toy Organizer
This item is a great clutter remover in the bathroom and as an added bonus, it doubles as a basketball hoop! The opening is about 3" deep, so you'll need some balls that are smaller than that.I reviewed several bath toy organizers and settled on this one because so many people said it was the only one they found that stayed on the wall. Plus, the price was right. I hung it up in the evening after work and the next day I heard it fall. So I thought "Well, maybe I didn't get it suctioned up there very well" so I tried again and it fell down within hours. I threw the thing in a drawer in the bathroom and haven't used it since. Very disappointed. I should also mention that I had only put two rubber duckies and 3 little floating animals (smaller than rubber duckies) in there. It was VERY light.

I've only had this for a week, but it is terrific!This holds tons of tub toys and bath books (20ish squirters, set of measuring cups, little people boat, sesame figures, etc!)
The wall mount is super sleek and has not moved since suctioned to the tile.
The scoop basket is easy & fun to use, my son now loves putting his toys away! I was previously using the large shell-shaped toy organizer that sits on the edge of the tub, which is very bulky and would fall into the tub if my son put any pressure on it.
Love this scoop!!!!
Read Best Reviews of Brica Super Scoop Bath Toy Organizer Here
When I was reading most of the negative reviews for this toy organizer, almost everyone mentioned that it was because it doesn't stay on.Here is what I did (very simple) and it does NOT come off and stays put!
Scrub clean your tiles with comet and then wash off. Let dry and then I wiped the wall again with windex and also cleaned off the round suction part of the toy organizer. After it dries off, stick the organizer and press hard a couple times and thats it. It stays on really well. I have no problems with it, my 2 year old son would try to yank the mesh bag off sometimes and it still stays on strong.
This toy organizer looks great on our bathroom wall :)As other reviewers mentioned, the suction cup did not stick to my completely smooth bathroom tile. So frustrating. But I used some waterproof, removable Command Strips to stick the bracket to the wall and it's been hanging solidly for several months now. Now that it works, I love it! It's a good size for our small bathroom and I like that everything inside dries well between uses.

Kids Line Willow Organic Valance
Buy Kids Line Willow Organic Valance Now
I did not like the way it washed. the pattern is not even across the valance. It show two sets of deers. I ordered two valances and on one there is only one set of deers and it is off centered.The valance looks as it does in the picture, however when we got them we found the construction to be lacking. The brown stripe is fabric and is pressed in the opposite direction as its sewn. With some ironing, the valances looked much better.I kinda assumed the product would be as depicted in the photos. This is NOT the case. I bought a pair of these. One has 2 deer which are basically centered. The other has 3 1/2 deer, 2 well off center and 1 1/2 WAY off to the side...as in you basically can't see them as they're on the side of the rod (where it turns back into the wall). The valances, otherwise, are fairly well made for the price. As a guy, dare I say they look very cute, though unbalanced, in my daughters bedroom. I normally have no problem with a lack of room symmetry, but like I said, the windows look "off". Keep this in mind if you need more than one.Sunday, October 20, 2013

Viking 15-Piece Chubbies Bucket
2 boats
2 planes with propellers and wheels
1 helicopter
1 train
2 train cars
1 wagon
1 bulldozer
4 truck/cars.
It is more similar to this picture: http://www.grandrivertoys.com/images/products/N5615_L.jpg
So, they are not all the same car! Thanks Kaplan Learning Center! Another fabulous selection. My two year old will have an exciting easter! (I think we'll hide them instead of eggs!)I got this for my son on his first birthday, and it's the best thing I've ever bought for him. He adores these vehicles. He'll roll them across the coffee table, spin the propellers on the aircraft, bring the boats in the bathtub....totally worth the money. It's hard to find toy cars/vehicles approved for kids as young as 12 months and I have no doubt he'll being playing with these for years to come.
Buy Viking 15-Piece Chubbies Bucket Now
This bucket is full to the brim with Viking cars, trucks & planes colorful, bendable, washable wheeled toys. They are great indoors, in the sand; they even float in the tub.Chubbies are the best toy vehicles! They roll very well, are durable, and good for young kids. Our one and two-year-old love these. Much better than other small-kid cars/vehicles out there.If you're sick and tired of every toy you buy your kids beeping and flashing constantly then this is the toy for you. The bucket contains an assortment of vehicles: a small train, several cars and trucks, an airplane, and a helicopter. Most of them snap together to form a train. Despite appearing cheap and fragile they are actually quite durable and can easily stand getting whipped across the room or at the nearest sibling (and they are light enough to not knock too many things off the shelf or break any glass). They are the perfect toys for travel because the individual vehicles are not small enough to easily get lost on a plane or in a hotel room and they make no noise and require no batteries (a huge plus). And it's refreshing to see my kids playing with something that requires a little imagination. All in all a good deal.Friday, October 4, 2013
My Hikes--Adjust kids pant legs! (Soccer Ball)
$12!!! So expensive for the lesson.
Buy My Hikes--Adjust kids pant legs! (Soccer Ball) Now
I saw these interesting gadgets on one of the children's deal-a-day sites and thought I'd give them a try. I am so glad I did! After buying my first pair, I loved them so much I bought 2 more pairs!My Hikes are the perfect solution for pants that are too long. My boys have always had a shorter leg length then the clothing industry seems to think they should. If it fits the waist, the legs are too long. This little gadget takes care of that! Instead of looking like a rolled up pants cuff, this makes it look like a fashion statement in itself! It also fixes the problem of rolled up pants cuffs falling down constantly.
This way you can also buy pants a few sizes too big (elastic band in the waist!) and let the kids grow into it without worrying the bottom of the pants will get destroyed by dragging on the ground!
These things are deceptively simple. They're almost like a giant plastic paper clip with a cool design. I've tried a paper clip and even those hair clips. None of them stay in. These actually stay in. The first day my toddler wore his "toot toot clips" I kept checking them throughout the day to make sure they stayed in. The first thing people notice about Bubba is that he's huge. Then they notice how active he is. The My Hikes didn't move! My husband even said that he's not so into them because now toddler can move faster since he's not tripping over his pants legs as much ;)
After the success with toddler, my 8 year old actually asked for his own pair! He is able to do them himself and does it automatically with all his pants when he wakes up.
A few days ago, we lost a pair of clilps. I couldn't find them anywhere and I was so sad. Then I found them when folding laundry! Apparently they hold up just fine in the washing machine ;)
I can't understand the previous review. Yes they are plastic cuff catchers. But they stay in place and look cute/cool at the same time! They are snazzy enough that kids WANT to wear them and don't fight you when you put them on. $12 is pricey, but when you consider how long they last, I think it's priced competitively! Chances are that your kids will outgrow them before they "die" and you'll be able to pass them down!
