My 15 month old LOVES the Ant bells, bee-shaker & Drum features. He also uses it as a seat when the lid is on and enjoys fitting inside the drum when empty! It's been a little over 4 months now and he still runs to it! The drum sticks have little rubber bumbs on them for better infant grip. We implement the "drumming" on many different surfaces so he can hear the different sounds on different surfaces. The toys are easy to disinfect. We usually save this toy for a rainy day to "beat" the gloomy blahs!Want Parents Magazine Bee Bop Band Play & Learn Drum & Instruments Discount?
I bought this toy set for my kids years ago and it's been so much fun! HOWEVER, the design issues surrounding the Bee Bop Band have plagued this toy and the companies who make it (Battat & Parents Magazine). First, the company was ordered to replace the drum sticks due to unsafe design (tendency to shatter at the tip). I was ok with that, because they were being responsible in getting the defective toys out of the hands of children.However, I recently discovered that the ladybug xylophone that was in my set is No Longer Included in the current set. There's no mention of why or contact to parents to inform them to remove it from play due to its tendency to break into many small and sharp pieces. I had not realized that it was not in the current model until I called Battat to report a problem with the xylophone.
I knew there might be a problem since the number on the label no longer worked and I had to look them up on the internet. It foreshadowed the difficulty I would have in being able to talk to a human. After leaving several messages and some creative dialing (random number pushing in hope of connecting to anyone human in their mailbox system), I spoke with a man who assured me he would give a note personally to Carrie (the one I'd left many messages for. I received a call 48 hours later from Carrie informing me that the xylophone had not been included in the set for the last 3 years AND that Parents went out of business in 2010, so they don't have anyone to report this incident to. She said she'd inform the president of the company and his secretary. After that, it was out of her hands.
So, the xylophone was excluded from the set 3 years ago without telling anyone who already owns the set why, or warned to watch for certain vulnerabilities. That is wrong! And since one partnering company is 'out of business', the other acts incapacitated and washes their hands of it? No wonder there are so many lawyers. I'm just thankful that my baby didn't ingest or choke on it, that I was there to see it happen and protect my child. Buyer BEWARE! Not a good track record for this set! I hope and pray that the company acts responsibly about this hazard before a child is harmed. But since the xylophone was excluded a few years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if a child was already hurt and they kept it quiet after the drum stick fiasco that cost them dearly ($150,000 in fines and voluntary recall of 300,000 sets.
Here's a link for details of the recall:
I'm hoping they do the right thing and make this public knowledge protecting children. Looking into contacting the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission myself, like the other 25 people did to get Battat to recall the drumsticks the first time. If you've had this happen to you, please let me know. Power in numbers!

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Shop and Learn Walker
Around the time he started pulling himself up onto things, at about 10 months he started to pull himself up onto the cart. We keep the cart in his room, which is carpeted so it doesn't roll too fast. The first few times he tried to pull himself up on the cart, it fell over. But it is very light and didn't hurt him at all, just startled him a bit. After a few weeks he was able to pull himself up on the cart while keeping it steady. It taught him some awesome body coordination skills. He enjoyed pulling himself up on the cart and picking the toys out of it and throwing them on the floor.
Around 11 months he started being able to push the cart across the room while walking. He was not walking or standing independently at this point. The cart has been great for teaching in and out opposites as we tell him to put toys in the cart and then take them out again. It is his very favorite toy.
The change of modes is nice but my son tends to prefer the "It's learning time!" mode, and gets annoyed when we change it to one of the other modes. The volume control is great, we try to keep it on the lowest setting for our own sanity and our son hasn't figured out how to flip those switches yet.
This is a really great toy and I do recommend it but with a disclaimer to keep it on the carpet until your child is a confident walker because carpet helps to keep it stable and slow it down.I bought this for my daughter when she was 7 months old because she started pulling up on furniture and cruising around our home. Within the day that it arrived, she learned how to pull herself up and walk behind it. It only tipped on her once before she got the hang of it and now she loves "shopping" around our living room. I love this toy! She is nine months old now and still loves playing with it. It comes with 4 food toys that fit into shaped spots that teach about shapes and colors and 3 extra food toys to go into the cart. I love the three different settingsshopping, learning, and musicand my husband and I both agree that this is one of the best "noisy" toys we have. It isn't annoying because it's not as predictable as most baby toys; there is no set pattern to the noises and songs that play. I would recommend this toy for any child that is pulling up and cruising. And for any family that would like to enjoy seeing a look of terror in their cat's eyes as the baby chases them :)

We got this for my little girl when she was 13 months and could already walk. I thought she and my 4 year old would enjoy using this as a cart for their kitchen and have fun playing with it. It has had very little use. I think as a shopping cart it's wheels and design are bulky. They like the music and songs. And . . . at 16 months the only thing she wants to do is climb up and sit in it! Good thing is this thing IS very sturdy and will NOT TIP easily. I have read other reviews and moms testify this is the best walker they've used. I think if you want it as a walker you should get it. It is very sfe for them to pull-up on. but if you're looking for a shopping cart toy find something else! : ) hope this helps.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Shop and Learn Walker Here
This walker is the best one out there that we've found. Our son had previously owned two others, but after he actually started standing, we found they were useless-didn't roll on carpet, pace was ridiculously fast for a beginner, or they tipped over when he used it for standing support. This product is an excellent value and far more useful than the more expensive walkers we have owned. Highly recommended, excellent quality and value.
Only cons: doesn't turn easily and the shapes are easily misplaced/lost-but that can be said of any children's toy.

Although this toy is stury, somewhat educational and seems to be fun for my son I wish we would've gone for a different shopoing cart. He usually just pushes it around, not utilizing the many electronic features. It's rather bulky so it takes up a lot of room, and it's short so my tall 1 year old will outgrow it in no time. If I could do it all over again I would've bought the fun to imagine shopping cart and saved $20.Friday, August 1, 2014

Russ Berrie Yomiko Pug 12"
Well the dog came by mail today. OMG it looks just like my PUG did when I brought her home for the first time. at eight weeks old!
The photo does not do this justice at all. In fact my pug Fooshe, follows me around the house staring at the stuffed pug as I carry it. That's how life like it looks and feels.
I can't wait to see what my little Miah thinks of her new puppy.

Kids Preferred Mama-Baby Lamb Action Musical
The funny thing is also the "bad" thing about it.
I wanted to have a music box with a pull-rope mechanism.
This music box has to be wind up by rotatin the little lamb on the back.
The rotating little lamb really looks cute and funny.

Pacifier Chain Lollipop from Haba
The wooden clip doesn't get dirty and yucky the way a fabric one does our son has chewed on his while teething and it came through that just fine, no broken beads, no chipped paint . They clip on to clothes so easily!
Plus, we get a ton of compliments on these because they are different and work well. I highly recommend them!The only reason this only gets 4 stars is because the actual string is a little short. It works, but keeps falling out. I am hoping it will function better when he is a little older and his sucking ability is better. Now it seems like the string just is too heavy and pulls the binky out of his mouth. It is cute though!

The image brings two pacifiers and only one arrived. I was not happy that I didn't get the chance to choose from the two images.I sent this pacifier chain as a gift. The image, brings two pacifiers, and I was surprise that only one arrived. The item (all my kids used this pacifier chain, same brand, I know its quality) is perfect and arrived in the specified time, but either a caption with a legend stating that those are the two models available or that only one will be shipped is necessary.I was also disappointed that only one arrived, the image is not accurate and if only one arrived you should be able to choose which oneMonday, March 24, 2014

Fisher-Price Scoop and Whirl Popper
Like another reviewer said, the balls do not pop. The picture on the box is deceiving as it makes it look like the balls pop up within the container but they do not.
My almost 3-year-old had a hard time getting the balls to scoop. There is not a big hole that the ball can go into. Only one very small sized hole that you have to run over at just the right angle. My 3 year old got bored after she couldn't get the balls to scoop up, and it wasn't even a present for her. My 12-month-old can't walk idependently yet but when he does, I doubt he will be able to figure this toy out.
Also if you roll it backwards AT ALL the balls will fall out.
I'm usually a fan of Fisher Price but this is a big disappointment.We recieved this as a gift for my one-year old's birthday. The previous review is correct in that it wont help them walk, and the balls are very lightweight. It does have pretty good music, and isnt too loud. The front rubbery-plastic hands did break off after about 2 months of use, but my son is really hard on his toys.

I am glad that we bought this with jcpenny reward dollars...it is so boring! I read the reviews before purchasing and though...eh...what the heck...how bad can it be? I mean I knew it was ment to be pushed and wouldn't hold our little one up and I wasn't expecting that. I WAS however expecting the toy to actually pop the balls like it implies it can. See...I guess I should have looked at the box closer. I was expecting the toy to have a little fan in it like the other fisher price ball popper toys...it doesn't. It scoops them up they bop a little and that's it. Not real fun. Our almost one year old is not impressed. It also only picks up the balls if you drive over them VERY slowly. One good thing is that it does appear to be durable and the music is really nice... not annoying at all unlike allot of other children's toys. I am just glad that we didn't pay full price...NOT worth it at all, and that the balls it came with work with the fisher price ball popping dinosaur.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Scoop and Whirl Popper Here
My little baby love this toy. She cannot get enough of it. I just wish it came with batteries and that the balls were easier to keep track of.I bought this for my 2 years old's birthday. It's a good toy, no too loud and an on/off switch (which is always a good thing with musical toys). For some reason my little guy isn't too interested in it, but I think it's more because he's too busy chasing after whatever his big brother is playing with than him not liking. Good toy, easy assembly.Tuesday, December 31, 2013

I was super psyched about finding this item on a deal day for $16... um, soooo not worth it! There are flaws all over the toy and not to mention that the spools from the car are crooked and dangerous if my toddler were to fall on it! Totally disappointed by this purchase. It's worth maybe $5... not what I paid. I feel completely ripped off. It's too much hassle to return, but the item is NOT well made at all. Cheap! Cheap!
