Tek Nek "Lucky" Plush Spring Horse
Although I had been a strong Radio-Flyer customer, with their increase in production in China, I think that Tek Nek has produced a better product and am happy to have purchased it.We bought this horse last Christmas for our youngest grandson who was then 3. We put it together and didn't think it would last very long....were we WRONG?? The horse is a very much loved toy and as he has a brother 2 years older and a sister 3 years older it is in CONSTANT use daily!!! Both the boys are autistic and the abuse this horse has taken is nothing short of a miracle!!! He still talks etc. and he is jumped on and used as a spring board to fly over his head onto the couch or any other soft landing place they can find. I have even seen him standing on his head!! I wish every toy we bought held up HALF as well. It was worth many times what we paid for it.

I purchased this horse for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and she loves it. My older daughter is almost 5, and she loves it as well. After reading other reviews, I'm guessing that the model has changed slightly, since the batteries are now easily located in a hidden pocket right along the horse's mane. We haven't had problems with the buttons in the ears making sounds, although I find that my girls don't care much about the sounds anyway. We've had this horse for about a month.The one thing I wanted to mention was a problem with the assembly instructions. When putting the horse together, be sure to place the red tube spring covers onto the bars before attaching the horse! The instructions don't tell us to put the covers on until AFTER the horse is attached, and then it is too late and everything has to be disassembled, which is a lot of effort. Hopefully this error in the instructions will be corrected soon.
The horse is surprisingly light, and can easily be moved to different rooms.
My kids also climb all over the horse, and stand on it's back (while holding on to the bars.) If your child is very young and you worry about them climbing without supervision, then you may want to wait a bit.
Otherwise, a great horse! My kids play with this horse dailymuch more than any other toy they've ever had. We also received it in CA from Amazon with free Super Saver Shipping in just three days!

My little girl loves it, but they offer a version that runs about $ cheaper that doesn't come with the saddle. Get that one! The saddle never stays on anyway! It is just fabric held on with one little piece of velcro and it always slides around. I do love the toy. The songs and phrases make it fun for my daughter and her friends. They love to watch the mouth move (the songs WILL get stuck in your head, though:)Want Tek Nek "Lucky" Plush Spring Horse Discount?
You can see the full specs on this toy at the manufacturer's website at http://www.teknektoys.com/pc-1056-7-rock-n-ride-lucky-deluxe-spring-horse.aspxThis toy requires 3 double AA batteries to work. So, if your sound stops working check to see if the batteries need replacing. The battery pack is located where the on off switch is on the underneath side of the horse. This is a very good play horse for kids age 18 months to 4 years. I feel it develops leg muscles and teaches coordination of movement. It also teaches horse sounds, associating the sound with the animal. My grandson loves it.

Little Tikes 2-in-1 Pirate Ship
Buy Little Tikes 2-in-1 Pirate Ship Now
We bought this toy for our 15 month daughter for Christmas. It was easy enough to put together. We haven't had any problems with wheels coming off like other reviewers, but we used a hammer to make sure that they were on securely. Though my daughter is too small to ride on this by herself she loves pushing it around the livingroom and opening and closing the seat compartment. She also loves the figures that came with it and has been carrying them around for days saying "argh."Read Best Reviews of Little Tikes 2-in-1 Pirate Ship Here
Very impressed with Little Tikes. Got this for my child's first birthday to grow with. Really cool, big enough but not to wide for riding (when she gets bigger). The compartment for storage of the smaller characters is wonderful and one of the reasons I purchased this item. (have limited space and anything with storage is a plus) She is enjoying laying over it and getting items on the other side, just the right height. She loves opening the compartment and emptying it. One draw back is when I received it. I began to put it together. There was not a battery cover. I emailed Little Tikes and they sent one out right away. We are both very happy with this product/toy!Want Little Tikes 2-in-1 Pirate Ship Discount?
My 12 month old loves this ship. We bought it on a whim, and he took to pushing it all around the house immediately. He felt the crew of two scurvy dogs was too small, however, so he's added a few Sesame Street figures into the mix.The sounds are fun, though on the box it suggests that there is a pirate voice. Not the case, just a cannon boom, a ringing bell, and the sound of an anchor dropping into the water. Not annoying at all (and it's been over a month).
The small flag at the back of the ship doesn't stay in place, so we removed it. Otherwise it's sturdy and all in one piece despite hours of rough play from a busy boy!

Cookie Monster Deluxe Two-Sided Plush Jumpsuit Costume
My son was 22 months old at Halloween, and the 2T fit him well with a little extra room. He's 50th percentile for height and weight. Loved the costume! Everyone thought they were adorable and the costume kept the baby warm while they were out and about that evening.

It will definitely keep him warm on a cool October night. I'm excited to dress him up! I'm thrilled the costume isn't thin and cheapy looking. It's also a great price! I'm a very pleased new mommy!

I bought this costume for my son who will be eighteen months in late October. He is tall for his age and I was worried about finding a costume that would fit him. There are not many costumes for size eighteen months. The costume fits him perfectly and he looks adorable. The costume is great quality but warm so I hope it's a cool night when he wears it.Monday, March 17, 2014
Toddler Toy Pop Up Crawling Worm Tunnel
I could see maybe one seam with a problem. But I counted at least 7 exposed wires and open seams. Dangerous for a child.My 8 month old loves to crawl back and forth in this tunnel. She loves when we roll a toy through and she can follow after or when we simply place a toy on either end of the tunnel. I really appreciate the way the tunnel folds up and is put away and stored so easily. We are really pleased with the purchase!

Fisher-Price Crawl-Along Drum Roll
Buy Fisher-Price Crawl-Along Drum Roll Now
When my brother-in-law and his family came to visit for Father's Day, they brought this toy for their 6-month-old to play with. My 5-month-old absolutely loved it, and the two babies enjoyed it together the entire weekend. It was definitely their favorite toy (by far). The best part is the way it can be configured either as bongos, for play, or as one rolling piece, which encourages them to follow and crawl. It lights up and makes noises that delight the little guys. I was amazed how much inspiration it gave my 5 month old, who showed pretty much NO interest in crawling prior to this. It's a great toy! As soon as they left, I had to buy one for my son!Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Crawl-Along Drum Roll Here
I purchased this for my son for his first birthday. He loved it and enjoyed it for about 2 years when the wires inside broke and it no longer worked. It's not really educational, just push a button and music (one tune, over and over) plays and it lights up, but not on demand, like every time you push a button something happens. It's just push it once, get the long tune and flashing lights. I expected it to be more durable as it was just normal use that eventually wore it out. I think there's a design flaw with the way it's wired because it puts strain on the electronics when you move it into the crawling toy and back to the bongo drums style, eventually wearing through the wires until they break. Because this was (STILL, at age 3) my son's favorite toy, I bought a new drum to replace it, but I went with International Playthings Flash Beat Drum, which is half the price, better for a crawl-along toy (for his little sister), plays more songs, reacts to each hit of the drum with sound and lights instead of just one time, and is overall a better toy. For half the price. And he likes the IPlay one better. I think it's better for younger kids, too. My nine month old loves it, too, whereas she couldn't get the Fisher Price drum to play because she wasn't strong enough. I give this Fisher Price one three stars, but only because my son liked it and really he is super easy to please. For the price, I'd give it more of a 1 1/2.Want Fisher-Price Crawl-Along Drum Roll Discount?
We got this when our daughter was 4 months, just starting to sit up, and showing an interest in toys with lights and sound. This was the only toy she was strong enough to hit and get a response. She found it pretty entertaining at 4 months b/c it was much brighter, flashier and noisier than the usual toys for this age group. Now that she's 6 month, she is less interested in it. Likes others have pointed out, we were disappointed that this isn't really a cause and effect toy. Hitting a drum does kick off one of two songs. And if you listen closely, continuing to hit the drums actually DOES produce new drum sounds. The problem is that the music is so loud and dominant, you can only just barely hear the drum sounds.We haven't used this as a crawling toy yet, but I don't see this toy having long-term appeal. I think even my daughter thinks it's annoying.

Buy Sesame Street Abby Cadabby Plush Magic Wand Sound Toy - 9 in. Now
My daughter is 20 months old and she just loves this wand. She holds it while she watches Abby Cadabby and when Abby taps it, she taps it as well. She also will carry it around with her and tap on things just to hear the sound. She has had nights where she wants to sleep with it, and since it is a soft toy, I have let her. She has a great time with the wands an I would highly recommend this toy to other Abby fans. It is so cute to hear your schild go "Poof" like Abby does. I also have a friend who has a 3 year old and she also loves the toy, when my daughter puts it down long anough for her to play with it.Read Best Reviews of Sesame Street Abby Cadabby Plush Magic Wand Sound Toy - 9 in.

LeapFrog LeapStart Learning Table
Buy LeapFrog LeapStart Learning Table Now
I like this toy quite a bit. Just wish my 1 year old liked it as much as I do. I have the older version like what is pictured.Pros-
It's sturdy, does not topple over easily when child pulls up on it
Low enough profile that they can stand and play
Legs come off so they can sit and play
Multiple modes of play, with or without it being on
Very colorful
Can buy a bilingual version (which I didn't know until today)
Cons-
The book has paper pictures on it so when you clean like the germ freak I am, it will eventually rub off
The purple lid often comes off
The shapes get stuck sometimes (of course mine is older and has had a lot of use so may be just age)
I really like that you don't have to have it on to use most of the features....great when you have a headache (as a mom of 5 boys, I get them often). I also really like that the legs come off so I could use it when he was younger. I have only seen my little one topple it once because he was sitting and really pulling it up on two legs. He was pulling hard too.
Overall, I think it's a great toy. Not crazy about some of the prices on Amazon but you can find it cheaper elsewhere. Even then, it's still pricey but if you pass things down as we do, not horrible. I've seen worse.Very nice toy for babies and toddlers to explore musical and other sounds. We worried because we dislike electronically produced sounds playing constantly, but this was really manageable. Also, you can adjust the volume. Our son loved playing with it and we were glad to have it.My Granddaughter loves this, pays with it for hours at a time. She isn't even a year old yet, so before she could stand she would sit and play with it, (the legs are removable).

Kids Preferred Disney Chime Toy
Buy Kids Preferred Disney Chime Toy Now
This is great because he loves mickey and toys, but always tosses on the ground then continuously wants me to pick then up. Great when 'Uh-oh' is their favorite word. I attached to stroller and he always has a cute toy to play with and I'm not constanlty picking it up.Cute plush, love the toy.
It is small, but he is in love.
I'd say 6 months and up.I got this to match my baby girl's Minnie Mouse theme. We hung it above her changing station but it would be great attached to her car seat handle or crib too. It's really cute and soft and has a nice chime noise when you shake it. The only thing I would note is that the hanging loop that fastens with Velcro is more of a magenta pink than the light pink shown in the picture. It doesn't bother me but just thought you should know.My 7 month old grandson loves Mickey Mouse and has several but this one is perfect size for his tiny infant hands.

Baby Dolls: Nicole Doll by Kids Preferred
Buy Baby Dolls: Nicole Doll by Kids Preferred Now
I bought this doll for my 1 year old granddaughter because it looks so cute & colorful & it had great reviews. My granddaughter could care less about it. The one fault it has, is that it had a hole on top of the hat (from the little plastic hanging thing that they put on products to hang in the stores.) The hat is knit so it keeps unraveling & the hole is getting bigger. Not very durable. Waste of money. But it is cute. Maybe other little girls will like it but my granddaughter doesn't.Read Best Reviews of Baby Dolls: Nicole Doll by Kids Preferred Here
