Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Shake & Crawl Racer
Pros:
Fun sound effects
Car moves on its own when the rattle is shaken
Has 2 setting so the car can go strait or in a circle
Volume control so the toy has a quieter setting
Cons:
Toy cost is on the expensive side
Does not work too well on carpet
There is only traction on one of the wheels so it stops easily if anything gets in the way
If the car is too far away the rattle doesn't work
I have to chase down the car often and redirect it to make it move for my son again
I gave the toy 4 stars because I totally recommend it in spite of the cons. It is a fun interactive toy that encourages crawling. I also recommend getting the toy early when your baby first start to sit up on their own to maximize its use because the toy is not cheap.I bought this as a birthday gift for a one year old but when it came I wished I had gotten it for my two year old for Christmas. It's perfect for the whole age range. You can make the car go by shaking the rattle or rolling the ball on top. It's extremely durable (which is a plus these days!)and interesting for babies who are just sitting up to toddlers running around. I'm purchasing a second one for my sons birthday!

My son and I love this toy. He will set around for hours and watch the car going around and around. I did have a problem in the beginning with the rattle working, but you just reset the car (turn the car off and then back on)it and it works fine.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Lil' Zoomers Shake & Crawl Racer Here

This is a great toy! My son got this when he was 5 months old. He wasn't able to shake the rattle hard enough to make the car move. I had to help him with it. Now that he is 9 months old, he is able to shake it hard enough to make it work. You have to be in close proximity to the toy though. He likes to spin the wheels and the underneath gears when the toy is off. Occasionally he shrieks so loud that it makes the car go without shaking the rattle.Saturday, June 14, 2014
Earthentree Organic Waggy Pull Toy
Buy Earthentree Organic Waggy Pull Toy Now
These toys are wonderful. I bought a bunch for my grandchildren who are 1 and 2 years old. They both enjoy playing with the toys and I love that they are playing with something that I know are safe. Earthentree makes a great classic toy that your children will be sure to love. I would highly recommend these for your children. They are certain to be some of their favorite toys and you can feel good about supporting a company that support artist who are making homemade toys. So many toys are made in mass with plastic and its absolutely wonderful to find classic, timeless, well crafted and nontoxic toys. Absolutely wonderful!Read Best Reviews of Earthentree Organic Waggy Pull Toy Here
Too small! I was taken aback at how tiny it is. The gift hasn't been given yet so we'll see.The item is super small, just so you are aware. I know the dimensions are given but when you see pull toy you expect something similar to a Fisher Price pull toy size. This item is about 1/5 the size of any usual pull toy.Tuesday, June 10, 2014

Boikido Wooden Musical Set
These things do not make music. You are better off buying each instrument separately from somewhere else. Save your money. this is junk.We love the instruments & the colors are so fun! Have to wait on a couple of them though because my 1 yr. old puts them in his mouth & they're still a little too small for him to do that. Overall we love the product though!
Buy Boikido Wooden Musical Set Now
I bought this for my baby's one-year birthday, as she LOVES music/musical stuff. Mainly what sold me was the thought of having a wood xylophone, thinking the sound would be softer/more natural (and less annoying) than the usual metal ones found in every other nursery. However, these didn't have the "natural" sound I was hoping for and neither was much, if any, softer in pitch than the cheap metal ones. Furthermore, they didn't even sound the notes right. I had worried that only having four keys wasn't enough, but I couldn't have known that some made the exact sound. (I might as well have a couple scrap pieces from 2x4's to use.) So while this set looks appealing for the reason of varity, it really doesn't offer it. Case in point, read on:The flute essencially doesn't work, and there's no way to get more than one note to come out of it. The tambourine is okay, but really is no drum. The little shaker is probably the best item out of the bunch, but I've seen much better ones and is not worth buying.
While my kids did take a big interest in it all, I think it was a rip off. I would have returned if I'd saved all the original packaging. I ended up trying to sell it in a garage sale for ten bucks but had no takers even remotely close, despite the fact that it was only two weeks old and just very gently used. So, I still have it for now, but I'm planning to replace it with something else.
(I'd love a recommendation if anybody cares to comment. Thanks in advance.)

Chicco Great Shakes Monkey Toy
Buy Chicco Great Shakes Monkey Toy Now
Another secret Santa present for a little boy whose wish was for some stroller toys. Delivered quickly and well made, and what boy doesn't like monkeys shaking lots of hoops.This monkey has been our daughter's favorite toy since she was about 3months old! Now she is 6 months and it's still her favorite!Got this as a gift for baby in December 2011 and its kinda just been sitting around mixed up with other toys. He had something similar in a chicken for the carseat so I decided to switch it up. My little guy loves this toy! He just lights up and plays with it the entire ride. Even sometimes falls asleep w/his hand tight aroundt the ring. Great toy for developing baby. He's 7 months by the way.Wednesday, February 5, 2014
Munchkin Deluxe Auto Bottle Warmer, Black
After trying numerous travel warmers in vain, I finally figured out a simple way that really works.
I use a wide mouthed vacuum thermos flask and fill it up with very hot water. When baby is ready for bottle, I place the bottle right inside the thermos flask and cover the lid for about 4 to 5 minutes. The result is perfectly warmed up milk !!
Some tips:
I have the Ozark trail Vacuum bottle (bought it at Walmart for under $20)
U can find any wide mouthed vacuum flask that works for u
I can fit a Dr.Browns 4oz bottle (without the nipple and cap) or a medella 5oz bottle (used with medella pump) inside it. With the Dr.Brown's bottle, I remove the nipple and cap and place it in with just the stopper I do securely close it with stopper and the rim so there is no risk of either milk spilling or worse yet water getting inside bottle. Its also possible to use the medella bottle cap securely on Dr.Brown's bottle. After warming, I fit in the nipple.
While placing bottle in flask for warming, I use just the top lid of the flask and do not use the mouth portion : it allows me extra height to fit bottle in. I do use the flask mouth and all its pieces to securely carry the hot water but while warming, I remove the mouth and use just the bottom and lid.
I boil water on stove top so it stays very hot (rather than just filling hot water from the tap). I usually take refrigerated breastmilk (if frozen, I thaw it a little to make it liquid).. I carry the milk with a cooler and ice pack so it stays cool and fresh until I am ready to thaw it in the flask.
Fill flask with very little water, so that when bottle is placed inside, excess water doesn't fall out
This method is so much more reliable, simple and portable (u don't even need to be near a car) and it really really works.
I hope this helps other moms/dads out there !I can't believe that other reviewers gave this item one star! I use Avent bottles with it and it works great. My only complaint is that sometimes it works too well and makes the bottle too hot. I used another bottle warmer with my older kids, but it took forever and just didn't get the job done. This one is fast. Another great feature is that after the bottle is warm, you can stow the cord in the back and take the bottle in the thermal case with you (as we often do to a restaurant). And it fits in my cupholder while heating!

It will keep an already-hot bottle warm, but it will not heat a bottle up, which was disappointing. I guess I can still use it to keep bottles warm for short trips.Read Best Reviews of Munchkin Deluxe Auto Bottle Warmer, Black Here
I've never written a product review before, but this product was such a disappointment, I wanted to spare other moms... As a previous poster noted, the heating wrap gets warm, but never warm enough to heat the contents of a bottle. After 45 minutes, our formula had inched its way up from cold to barely room temperature, and after that much time, I started to worry about food safety. Going through the Starbucks drive-through and asking for an extra cup of piping hot water to warm a bottle in is more practical than using this product.Want Munchkin Deluxe Auto Bottle Warmer, Black Discount?
We received this as a baby gift from our registry selection. The concept is great, but the execution is lacking. If you have a cold bottle, you can expect to wait 30-40 minutes before the bottle is barely warm enough for the baby. We drove to Huntsville last weekend and knew that our daughter needed to eat in an hour. Rather than waiting until she was ready to eat to start warming the bottle, we started warming it an hour ahead of time. It was warm enough by then. You definitely don't have to worry about the bottle getting too hot. You would have to drive 4 hours for that, although I've not confirmed it. =)We have a DC power inverter and I tried plugging in our regular bottle warmer but all it did was blow the fuse. Now I'm searching for a better alternative than the Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Warmer that I'm reviewing here.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Chomp & Clack Alligator Push Toy
May 6, 2010 My 9 month old daughter LOVES this toy. She is so amazed to be mobile. Right now, she can only manage to push it in a straight line. It seems hard to maneuver for beginning walkers. Luckily, we have an open floor plan so she can go right from the living room through the kitchen into the dining room before she has to stop and turn around. I can see her using this for awhile though... putting dollies on it and pushing them around. She wants to play with it every day and gets upset when she can't.
Durability: So far we have had no problems. I read reviews that complained that the handle bar comes unglued. The version I received has a screw holding the handle bar in place. We've had it for a month and no defects have come about. I was happy with this until the top bar came loose just a few days after we bought it! My 20 month old fell forward and landed with his neck on one of the vertical parts. It was terrible, and all because their glue didn't hold. If you buy this, please screw the top bar in place so this doesn't happen to you. This is not the only Melissa and Doug toy we have had glue issues with. Not recommended.

My son loved this toy when he saw that he could walk with it. It was so cute and he was so cute pushing it. A simple trip and he hit his forehead on the sharp edged spinning fish and left a gash right between his eyes that the Dr said would leave a scar! There was blood everywhere! I see from the reviews that this has happened to others and I can't believe that they haven't fixed it by rounding off the edges since it's a known issue.Read Best Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Chomp & Clack Alligator Push Toy Here
Wow, what a bummer. We have lots of Melissa and Doug toys, and I've always been very happy with their quality and durability. This one however, is shameful! My first clue should have been as I was taking it out of the box, the top layer of cheap wood splintered off. Had I bought it in a store, I'd have taken it right back. This was a birthday present for our daughter though, and bought online, so I thought "Well, it's just one strip of wood." Our child loved this toy right away...that being said, within the first week the entire area of blue wood began splintering off. All over the floor. Not only could my daughter have choked on a piece, but she could have scraped or cut herself, etc.Cheap craftsmanship aside, my daughter has lost her balance and toppled over the top bar twice, and hit her head on the wooden alligators. Now, the toy didn't cause her to lose her balance, but considering this is a toy made for toddlers, and toddlers tend to topple, wouldn't they have thought of the possible injuries?
Overall, an INCREDIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT and I'm sorry to say that it's made me a little wary of Melissa and Doug toys in general.

We bought this for my daughter's first birthday and she loved it during the first week she played with it. However, wooden slivers from the plywood side panel began flaking and breaking off almost immediately. Each broken piece is about an inch long and incredibly dangerous. We have taken it away from her and will be returning it as soon as I have time. What a shame. I previously loved Melissa & Doug products.Friday, December 6, 2013

My 2 year old daughter loves this ball. She carries it around the house with her. It's just the right size for throwing, bouncing, kicking, and rolling.Arrived timely and in good condition. The only thing I was disappointed because you can't pick the color, and as this is for my grandson, it came in pink and purple. That is my only complaint. I'm sure he won't matter. Just a personal complaint.Thursday, November 21, 2013

Buy Gund Baby Baa Ba Plush Toy, Lamb Now
I have purchased 5 of the Gund Baby Baa Ba Plush Lambs. I always tuck one in with my gift to every newborn baby. The quality is top-notch! I've already sent one for our new grandbaby boy! Can't wait until he can listen to the adorable "baa baa" sound the Gund Baby Lamb makes! I highly recommend this product.I bought this for my beagle who had had a toy kitten that meowed. Our beagle loved the kitten and played with it for years until the sound no longer worked. This lamb is smaller than the toy kitten we had but when we brought it out and make it "baaa" she took right to it! Even though she is blind, she will find the lamb, carry it around, gets it to make noise, takes good care of it. Very soft; great toy!Thursday, October 31, 2013

Buy P'Kolino Puzzle Stacker Now
I purchased this toy for my one year old grandson. The quality is wonderful it's so difficult today to find toys as well made as the ones I bought for my own children years ago. The colors were just about as vivid as in the picture and the wood finish was very smooth. I especially like the fact that the rings can be stacked in any order. I am sure this toy will be passed down for many years to come. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!Read Best Reviews of P'Kolino Puzzle Stacker Here
As a previous reviewer mentioned, the puzzle stacker we received does have numerous rough edges, unlike the Haba and Melissa and Doug etc toys we own. I haven't filed the edges down, and they don't bother my 2.5yrold at all (ours is not jagged enough to cause splinters or scrape her skin, more-so just rough). Our version's colours are vibrant as pictured though.My 2.5yr old daughter enjoys manipulating this puzzle stacker at this point she is able to pair the correct sized colored/natural pieces together, but is not really interested in then stacking the pairs in correct size order. She also enjoys rolling the pairs across the floor and watching them wobble apart.
Because of how much she enjoys playing with it, I would buy it again. For the price it should be finished better though.I bought the stacker thinking that it would be a fun toy for my grandsons and after seeing them play I definitely recommend the P'kolino Puzzle Stacker because THEY LOVE IT!!! It's not only a fun toy for them; it's also educational and helps to improve their motor skills.

Steiff Good Night Dog Blue 8.5"
The Good Night Dog is the perfect size and pliability for a baby and into the toddler years. It is a great shape that allows it to be cuddled in the crook of his elbow at night ... or sometimes slept upon. The material is soft to the touch. Stitching is sturdy/durable. The Good Night Dog has held up to a year of 'love' from our son and is still in great shape.
