Learning Curve Bob the Builder - 12 in. Soft & Cuddly Nightlight

Learning Curve Bob the Builder - 12 in. Soft & Cuddly NightlightI bought this doll for my one and a half year old who has discovered Bob the Builder recently. It is the only stuffed Bob I could find and my little guy really likes it. Bob carries a flashlight that is easy to operate even for a toddler, all he has to do is squeeze the sides of the flashlight to make it come on. He likes the soft orange glow of the light and the doll is just the right size for little ones. The only thing I dislike about the light is that it does not have a switch, once you let go of the sides of the flashlight the light goes out. Also, the batteries cannot be replaced once they die, there is no way to get to the batteries without cutting the fabric of the flashlight open(unless there is a trick to it that I haven't figured out yet).

Nonetheless, my son likes his stuffed Bob and takes it out with him quite often.

This toy is absolutely adorable but the name is misleading! He is so cute and soft and has a working flashlight. However, it is called a nightlight but it isn't! You have to be squeezing the flashlight for it to be on. Bought this hoping it would get my son to sleep in his own bed thinking it would light up but it isn't like that at all. It is a great toy but absolutely not a nightlight in any way. Just because it has a light doesnn't make it a NIGHTlight.

My 2 1/2 year old son flipped when he opened this for Christmas! He sleeps with Bob every night and loves that the light is easy enough for him to do by himselfno buttons to mess with, just a gentle squeeze and it lights up. He carries Bob with him everywhere! This was definitely money well spent.

It is a very cute doll my two year old hasn't really taken to yet but I think he will eventually and he does keep him in his crib. I purchased it in June 2007 and gave it to my son as a Birthday gift in August. The flashlight died in about a month's time, give or take. There is no obvious or visible way to replace batteries?? I am also a little worried about the stiching behind Bob's neck as it is not very tightly stiched. I just contacted Ty's Toy Box and am hoping for a response regarding the flashlight...

Doll looks soft and cuddly. The flashlight really works. My 3 yr old daughter is thrilled that she will be giving this to her little brother for his 1st birthday. Only worry is will she actually let him play with it or is she going to keep it for herself. :)

Little Tikes Activity Toyz

Little Tikes Activity ToyzThis set of rattles, rings and teethers is awesome!!! It's actually the second set I bought as my son lost his blue chewy teether from the first set and it was his favorite! 'crunchy bird' is a huge success, the rings ALWAYS useful, the cute giraffe rattle-easy for little hands to hold on to and the teething ring is the best! Out of any teething rings, that's the best we have! Can't beat the price either for such a great assortment and variety! Good quality products also! This would be the perfect shower gift or gift for your own child!

Fisher-Price Grow With Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - Pink

Fisher-Price Grow With Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - PinkWe just purchased 2 scooters for our 2 and 3 year old girls. I wanted scooters that had 2 wheels in front and one behind since they are a little more stable and they are less likely to trip on the single wheel in the back. Overall, the toy is pretty good, but I like the Radio Flyer My First Scooter better if you are only interested in having a scooter. This one also has the ability to be a ride along toy, so you get two in one if you buy it early enough. We have plenty of similar ride on toys, so we only wanted it as a scooter. You cannot easily switch between the scooter and rideon because you have to do something to the handle and turn the wheel over (requires a screw driver).

In watching my girls ride them both, the radio flyer is more stable. The foot area of the Flyeris a little wider in the front so it is easier to put their feet on and the wheel in the back is a little more narrow so less tripping. This one has a longer foot riding area and it has slightly taller handles so if your child is older or taller, it might be a better choice. The handle on this scooter wiggles which I don't like, but my kids wiggle it to move around a little and to get going down hills. For a family that needs two scooters that are similar, but different it is an excellent choice. Or if you are buying it early enough so you can use it both ways it would be good. But, if I could only have one, I'd get the radio flyer My First Scooter. Just my opinion. You are certainly entitled to your own.

The price was amazing. The colors are vibrant. It is so easy to put together. Our 15month old granddaughter sat on it and stood on it, but as yet has'nt scooted on it, but just the sitting and standing was fun to watch. It converts easily , so as she gets the hang of it......... it really will be a 1,23 scooter!!!

Looks just like picture and of very good quality. I think baby will enjoy for the next couple of years. And the price was good as well.

We purchased this because in theory it is a great concept -eliminates the need to buy a number of vehicles for your growing toddler. Large wheels and sturdy design all looked attractive.

The big problem is the extremely wide turning circle. Steering is limited to the point that you need a small warehouse to use the product without having to pick the scooter up and move the scooter around. This causes unnecessary frustration in what should be a basic and fun toy. As a result, our toddler prefers riding her much older brother's PlasmaCar. The wide front wheelbase is also a bit difficult for her to drag around and it seems like there would be a better diesng in this

The steering feels extremely flimsy and has a bit of stiction, but our toddler doesn't complain about those aspects.

For the price I was expecting a much more solid and usable product.

My Twin girls who just turned two, got these as a gift. I'm using them as ride-ons for now. I find them very durable & very quiet. Which is good for me because we have tile flooring through out the house. The only problem I would say I have right now is that my twins are about 20-22lbs and around 31-32 in. tall. I find these as ride ons very big for them. The scooter is very long and they have to sit right up close to reach the handle bars, which then the handle bar is level with there mouth. They have a hard time trying to steer them because they are long but overall they do love them.

Now I followed the instuctions just like they said in the book but for some reason my handle bars are nothing like the picture Fisher Price shows for a ride-on. My handle bars are a lot taller. I looked at the picture from Fisher Price and there is nothing I can do to get my handle bars as short as theres.

They are easy to put together but I do find the handle bars a little loose no matter how tight you get the screws.

Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Bounce & Spin Zebra

Fisher-Price Go Baby Go! Bounce & Spin ZebraWe just got this in the mail two days ago and my son loves it. My son was so excited and wanted to get on it before I even had it put together. It's a very cool and innovative idea. It's very easy to assemble as long as you have a screwdriver. I think my son is tall for his age but he is still on his toes unless he has shoes on. He has fallen a couple times when he's not paying attention or holding something instead of holding on but hasn't hurt himself.

My daughter first saw this toy at her daycare and loved it right away. (So did many of the other children at her daycare, the line to play is always long) We decided she'd like one for home so she got it as a gift for her 1st birthday.

Like other reviewers have said she was so excited that she wanted to ride on it while I was putting it together. She plays with it everyday and even her 4 year old sister loves to play with her. The 4 year old is too big too ride it, but she loves to stand behind her sister and push on the zebra's sneakers to help my 1 year old bounce.

At 1, my daughter's feet barely touch the floor so to make it bounce she either needs her sisters help or she bounces her butt in the seat (not using her feet). The only problem with her bouncing in the seat is the toy tends to slide forward with each bounce. But even with it sliding it has never tipped and with the extra wide base I don't think that it will be a problem.

She can get off the zebra with no problem (which is adorable to watch) but getting back on she needs a little boost. With the way kids grow though I'm sure she'll be able to do it on her own real soon.

This is a great toy to grow with. My good friend's son, who is 2, has one and still plays with his all the time. My 4 year old daughter would LOVE to ride on it, but she's close to the weight limit so we won't let her. But that says a lot for how fun the toy is when its appealing from age 1 to age 4.

The songs the toy plays are cute, and it also makes som galloping and horse breathing noises that are really funny. It has 2 volume levels to chose from which is also nice. The barrel in the front has beads that spin around and lights that flash. My 1 year old loves that part just as much as the bouncing.

I highly recommened this toy!

We bought this for our baby's first birthday. It has been three months now and she has used it every single day!! Once she learned to get on it (she figured it out the first day) she was riding away. It is also very amusing to watch, so everyone is entertained with this toy. When I looked at the box I was worried about it tipping, but that has not happened and I do not see how it could. The base is heavy and wide, yet it does not take up alot of room. If you have a baby who is very active I highly recommend this Zebra.

This Zebra is adorable and a great gift for little ones, but not oversized, rough'n'tumble tots like my son. We bought this for him for Christmas when he was 18 months old and it seemed like he was to big for it. He's a tall tot and he plays rough for such a little guy, and when he got on this thing it took a beating. When he bounced on it the thing bottomed out everytime, I thought for sure he was gonna brake it. It did however hold up to the abuse. He lost interest in it very fast, I think party because he's to big and it didn't bounce the way it should. We decided to give it to his cousin, she's the same age but much more petite and gentle so it worked out better for her.

My fifteen month son loves his newest toy. He climbs all over it and bounces all day. Well, not really all day but he loves to bounce. This is a great toy for all little ones. My son loves to play outside and with the weather getting colder in the Pittsburgh PA area, this is a great toy for him to burn energy on and stay active. I would highly recommend it to all.

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Roll-Along Musical Pony

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Roll-Along Musical PonyWe bought this for our daughter's first birthday...she loves rolling all around the house through the rooms, bopping along to the music. This ride-on is cute and functions well. I like that it is up high off the ground, compared to other ride-on toys. Great for developing gross motor skills and balance. The price on amazon can't be beat! We also are prime members, so free 2-day shipping rocks! I ordered it on Saturday afternoon and received it Monday afternoon. Very satisfied customer.

Bought this for a present for my niece who just turned 1 in August. She loves the toy, and it's a great ride-on toy for toddlers. My only con is that it doesn't work well on rugs of any kinds, other than that, it's a good ride-on toy.

Manhattan Toy Call Me Smart Phone

Manhattan Toy Call Me Smart PhoneI bought this for my grandson and he loves it. The only downfall I see with the product is that the numbers are hard to push. Love the mirror as my grandson is 5 1/2 months old and loves seeing himself. The softness of the product is what sold me.

My grandson likes the rattle, crinkle, and phone sounds of this toy. It is just right for him to hold in his hand. It is not too heavy.

Taggies Oodles Owl Plush Rattle

Taggies Oodles Owl Plush RattleThe product was not as soft as I expected. The detail is true to the picture, but when I received the product there was faint discoloration around the owl's eyes. It almost looked like it was slightly dirty on the white portion of the eyes. I purchased this as a part of a baby shower gift, and would not recommend.

I think this is such a cute little stuffed owl :) The lil tags on it are nice and silky feeling while the rest of the toy's fabric

has nice textures to it. My daughter (4 months old) loves to chew on it's ears and run her fingers over the ridges in the fabric.

It's not her favorite but maybe it'll grow on her as she gets older. I personally love it and am now considering an owl theme to

her bedroom ;)

Fisher-Price Little Superstar Bop 'n Beats Drum Set

Fisher-Price Little Superstar Bop 'n Beats Drum SetI thought this would be a great toy, I mean, a drum set for a baby. But this just isn't a drum set, it is a badly designed hard plastic toy that makes noise. And half the time it doesn't even make drum like sounds but sings for you. Or yells at you. I mean, hit that plastic drum and half the time it will sing for you "babadoo ba ba ba". Common. That is just simply dumb. If there had been a button for the toy so that it only made drum sound in mode one and did this stupid singing/yelling in the mode two I might have liked it a little better. Or make more parts that do the yelling if you so wish. But the "beebeede beebabooo Yeahh" is even irritating to my seven month old. This could so easily have been a great toy. I thought more highly of Fisher Price than this. Slight modifications on the sound would have made it nicer and make some of the hard plastic soft (for my teething 7 month old). And why not have more parts that move and rattle to make sounds on their own, what is wrong with that? As is it is not a very nice toy. I was so disappointed!

I purchased this for my daughter after my husband saw it in a store (he's a musician) and my daughter was thrilled with it immediately (5.5 months old then.) She "got it" right away and never seems to tire of it. I was pleased with the sturdy construction and the dual volumes. I like that it plays both scats, and each instrument individually. It's bright, colorful, and I love that all the pieces have smiling faces, as babies really identify and enjoy faces on EVERYTHING. This was well worth the money and I have recommended it to many other mom's in my online groups. It's a great toy!

UPDATE: My daughter is now 15 months old and still plays with this toy. I just wanted to add that it is still going strong and holds her interest.

We got this toy as a gift. Was never played much with neither of my two babies paid attention to it. There is nothing much there just a stand with some drum-shaped attachments that play some short song or music when hit. Yesterday I sold it at a yard sale for a dollar and had two mommies fight over it. Thus became curious and checked the price of this toy here. Frankly, I am shocked to see it priced at $39! I thought it was under $10 for all the play value and functions it has. Save your money, it is an overhyped & overpriced toy.

Got this as a gift for my daughter this past Christmas. I know, I know, if it's enjoyable for baby it shouldn't matter to dad, but I was hoping that there would be more musical features with this toy (I have to agree with reviewer Sigrun Hreinsdottir, the scatting "biddabeebopbopboo" is a tad irritating) and my daughter only plays with it sporadically, it doesn't really hold her interest. If there's one toy I would recommend it would be the LeapFrog Learn & Groove Musical Table, I got this for her last Christmas and she STILL enjoys playing with it (I'll be writing a separate review for that, but let me say beforehand that I do highly recommend it). In all fairness to this product, my nephews seem to enjoy it.

Manhattan Toy Wood Rattle

Manhattan Toy Wood Rattle, RingbleMy daughter (8mo) loves it! However it's little too heavy for small babies to hold with little hands.

She had this when she was few months old, and she could bearly grab it, and bring it to her mouth but drops it on her face. I would recommend to the baby probably older than 6months old. It's a great toy! She enjoys rattling, and sometime just slides the pieces left and right with her fingers.

Very cute with bright and engaging colors, but the way that the rattle is shaped leaves no place to hold/shake in little hands. My daughter was very content to stare at it when she was little and watch other people shake it, but since it didnt have an area that she could easily grasp, it quickly fell to the bottom of our diaper bag. Great idea, unfortunate design.

My 7-month old loves this toy. It is very sturdy, easy for him to hold, and makes a nice sound when he shakes it. He chews on the ends and shakes it. Since it is wood, it has a different 'touch and feel' from the plastic rattles he has. It has different shapes for him to manipulate. I think he could have enjoyed this toy from an even earlier age.

Duck Toddler Costume

Duck Toddler Costume Size 2T-4TOrdered this costume for my 16 month old daughter for Halloween. The fit on the body was generous but appropriate given that she needed to wear a layer of clothes underneath. The fit of the headpiece was a bit too large for herit kept dropping over her eyes. As she is the size of an average 2-2.5 year old, I felt that the headpiece was a bit out of proportion. A longer hook and loop strip or a short ribbon tie would improve fit on this part of the costume.

She loved wearing the body and shoe covers, though she pulled the headpiece off repeatedly. She seemed comfortable as wellnot too cold or hot. The costume is too thick to wear in a carseat, but I think a child could wear it in a stroller.

Overall, this costume was a great deal and I was satisfied with my purchase.

I ordered this costume for my 3 yr old daughter who is on the petite side.... it fit her well and definitely still has room to grow. She LOVED the costume... very warm, soft, not scratchy and the hat part was adorable. Don't hesitate, it's perfect!

Swimways Nemo Sun Canopy Float

Swimways Nemo Sun Canopy FloatI researched a lot of different floaties with sunshades before I picked this one for our 5-month-old baby, and frankly, I'm a little disappointed. Although our baby loves being in it, the leg holes already dig into his thighs when he leans back in the "seat" portion of the floatie. Also, the shade is made of the same blow-up material that the tube is made of, and it isn't ANYWHERE nearly as high as the picture makes it out to be. Our baby's head almost touches the shade when he's sitting in the floatie. It also isn't very wide and it doesn't stay up by itself (you have to keep a hand on it and keep adjusting it while the baby's in the pool), which is annoying.

Pros: Super cute, very safe (no chance a baby will fall out of it)

Cons: Poorly designed, sunshade doesn't really work

LAMAZE GRAB APPLE

LAMAZE GRAB APPLEMy youngest daughter is really enjoying this so far. She is 3 months and is just starting to grab and reach for this (ours is red, not pink) . Older sister likes it a lot too, pointing out the caterpillar inside and making it jingle for her baby sister. It is a great soft/bendy plastic that I would imagine is great for teething.

This is very easy to manipulate and light enough for my little one to hold herself. She loves this toy!
