Megcos Pull-Along Sea Pals Stacker -Affordable Gift for your Little One! Item #LMID-1238

Description is inaccurate. We received this toy as a gift for our toddler. It uses 2 AAA batteries (not 1 AA); also both the turtle AND starfish have wheels, thus they can be stacked, or pulled like a "train". The batteries go in the starfish, which makes the music and flashing lights. Strangely, the turtle ALSO has what appears to be a battery compartment (and a tiny "speaker") on the bottom, but it does nothing. Instructions said nothing. I spent several minutes trying to pry open this battery compartment, until I finally decided it must be glued shut / non-functional. It's an OK toy for what it does. It's cute; appears well made. It rolls, plays electronic " beepy" music and has flashy lights. Perfectly fine gift, though ours did not come with the attractive packaging shown.

Barney Love N Lights Hearts Barney

I was very disappointed with this item. Eventhough it's a cute huggable toy I also bought it because my 18 month old loves the "I Love You" song.This only plays one line from the song even after you pull the battery protector card out. I thought that it would play the full song once it was out of demo mode but I was wrong. If you want a cuddly Barney for your child this one is good but don't expect it to play any of the full song despite the reviews.

I bought the hearts barney for my daughter for her birthday and I can't wait to give it to her. I know she is going to love it. I think the cost of this toy was a litte pricy but since it was so hard for me to find a barney toy for her, it was well worth the money. The description of this toy was extremely accurate and I have no complaints; it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Amazing Plush!

I ordered this toy for my 19 month old granddaughter who loves Barney. When it arrived she was here and so excited! The toy is just the right size and when you squeeze it's hand it sings "I Love You" and a couple other songs. I highly recommend it for any one who has a child that just loves Barney. I feel it is appropriate for a child of 18 months or older.

Be careful to order the "hearts" barney and not the "stars" barney if you want the "I Love You" song as they are two different toys. As a grandmother I am very pleased with this Barney. It also lights up on it's "hearts" while singing the song.

Child Tricorn Hat - Child Std.

I bought this for my son to wear to his school Virginia history day. The only thing it didn't like about it was it wasn't pointed enough at the tips. Too rounded.

The quality of the hat was fine, about what I expected. It fit my 4-year-old just fine, but was a little small for my 6-year-old.

Mamas & Papas Activity Toy - Tummy Time

My 8 month old loves this and has since I got it for him two months ago. He has no problem turning on the music and neither do I but it's also not a primarily musical toy. He lays on it, crawls over it, shakes it. I only wish I had bought it earlier so we could have used it for tummy time.

Everything on this product is great except the music button does not work. It is impossible to even press down. I called the company about it and the person I spoke to was completely unhelpful even though they seemed aware of this problem. They offered no resolution other than to return it to the seller. I saw these later at an actual store and they are all like this. The musical button is practically impossible for me (an adult) to press, there is no way a toddler could do it.

Fisher Price Roll-a-Rounds Swirlin Surprise Gumballs

I got this for my seven-month old and he immediately loved it. It took him no time to learn how to press the blue handle down and get one of the peek-a-rounds gumballs to come out. The top only has room for four or five of the peek-a-rounds (it comes with four: teddy bear, candy, lollipop and ring), so I had to stand by and continuously put more on the top as he pressed the handle. Whenever the handle is pressed, the gumball machine plays a short tune. It also has a switch to turn the songs off or control the volume. There is a yellow turn handle at the front that makes a clicking noise when turned. My son really likes that too. One reviewer said this handle was hollow and dangerous. Mine is not hollow, so perhaps it was changed (for the better!). One thing I don't like about this toy is that it doesn't have a very solid base; my son easily, and frequently tips it over. That doesn't seem to detract from his fun though.

I loved the look of this toy! What a great idea---little balls with toys inside, much like the Peek-a-Blocks, but round, and a toy gum machine to put them in! My baby was not quite as excited, however. She figured out quickly how to push the lever, but didn't really seem to put it all together to be interested in a ball rolling out, or in putting a ball in. That might come along---it's a lot of steps for a baby to follow. She likes the sound it makes when the lever is pushed, and how we all clap when she figures out how to push it, but it's her 7 year old brother who plays the most with this! He loves seeing how many balls he can fit in the top, and watching them roll out. That's great, because WATCHING this at work entertains the baby a lot, and that's a great thing in a baby toy.

Although it's not a flaw of the toy, if you buy extra balls to use with this, there is not really any storage room for them, and if you have a house like mine, balls do tend to roll away! They also get easily flung by babies, and this seems like one of the toys that will someday end up being without accessories---just the machine. Perhaps most houses are more organized than mine...

Overall, a lot of fun, a good value and another well thought out FP toy.

We got this toy as a Christmas present when our son was three months old. He is now a year and is still enchanted with it. We originally used to have him watch it to hold his attention during tummy time. His interaction with it has increased as his motor skills developed. He loves the gumball machine and the balls work as a separate toy since they are a great size for little hands and bang together very well. I highly recommend this product.

We just got this toy for my son for his first birthday and everyone loves it! The balls themselves are way cute, and the gumball machine is adorable as well. My 4 year old dauhgter calls it a toilet though, because its round with a hole and can be "flushed" lol. This toy also stores easily and the music it plays doesnt sound like nails on a blackboard like some toys we have had. Definatly a good buy.

Power Wheels Disney Princess Tot Rod

Our granddaughter loves to "drive" it. The only thing I would change is to add a seat belt a good habit to practice.

Purchase it 6 months ago for my daughters first birthday. She is in love with it, and so are the neighbor kids. One reviewer complained that it "drags across the concrete" when an adult pushes it. The motor does turn when it's pushed, but it's normal and doesn't cause additional wear according to te manufacturer. Anyway, I purchased a second one (Toy Story 3 version) today for my nephew's first birthday. I can't wait for him to try it out! Control wise, it is very easy. My daughter usually uses a pointer finger pressing it approach but has also learned how to drive it using her thumb to press the "go" button. As far as reverse, it doesn't have it, but I don't think a "reverse" is age appropriate or safe for this age group. My daughter will climb out, push it from the front, and then hop back in when it's pointed in a better direction.

There are no words to explain how pleased we are with this car! Even our babysitter enjoys it for "going on walks" as it's fun for both of them.

Baby Bottle BuddyTM Collection, Frog

I had these for my son and what a life saver! I took them wherever we went. During our feeding time and his teething stages it really helped. I love that it comes in different characters. While vacationing at Disney I thought, "wow wouldn't it be nice if I could get one in "Mickey" or "Poo"?

Russ Berrie Babies Love To Learn 16" Giraffe Activity Doll

At Christmas I purchased the Mary Jo Gardener version for my niece. It was cute but overall the doll was a bit smaller than I had expected. The activities all seemed appropriate and well sized for small fingers. This time I purchased the Giraffe because she was a bit bigger and I am happier with this item. Both are good quality, and with its bright colors and all the buttons, snaps and zipper it should do the trick. Arrived sooner than predicted shipping date too.

My 13 month old twins love this giraffe. They're very attracted to the colors and like the snuggly softness. The fasteners all work well and are a great intro into fine motor skills. My girls are very happy with this toy, and I can see them playing with it for a long time as they learn how to work the different features.

This little cash register is a fun was for teaching numbers and the ABC's. I actually purchased it for my 12 month old, but my 3 yr old has been using it more than the 12 mo old. It has great counting and ABC songs that really keep my son's attention. I also like that it is on the smaller side and doesn't take up much space. We have been having a lot of fun with this toy. A good purchase!

Toy Story 3 Scrub-Bubble Bath Book ~ The Gang's All Here!

this is a cheap toy and you get what you pay for . It is ridiculously minimalist . I think the entire story bood is a total of 5 words , i am not kidding. I was dissapointed

While this book isn't meant to be too educational, it is VERY durable for my 8 month old to manhandle! I use these little "bath books" to keep his little hands occupied while I read the good paper books to him that he would otherwise grab quickly and tear. Plus, I found this at the Dollar Tree, which I agree is a good price for a little "bath book."

Plan Toys Preschool Stacking Bear

This stacking Bear is SO adorable! It really is a creative and unique take on the ubiquitous stacking tower toy design you might find in most baby's toy collection, and the Bear's head on top is super cute! My 2 year old nephew loves it! It really keeps him occupied and it seems like he is really thinking and experimenting with the rings and shapes. The base has cute little teddy bear feet, and the teddy bear face topper is truly irresistible!

It can be stacked in different ways, using just the colored pieces or stacking the colored pieces alternating with the natural wood pieces which are in 4 different geometric shapes. For this reason, I think this will be a toy that will definitely "grow with" my nephew, since there isn't necessarily a "right" or "wrong" way to play with it. He can "discover" new things as time passes and as his motor skills advance. Ultimately, kids will start to figure out that each colored stacking piece has a corresponding wooden (geometric) shape piece that fits with it perfectly. I expect he will get a lot of use out of it. It is also very well-made and I love that the whole thing is made from eco-friendly sustainably-sourced materials. I've been really impressed with all the PlanToys items I've bought.

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow 2-in-1 Musical Mirror

I am a little torn about this toy. I usually love products that show some versatility, and can be used at various times, in different ways. Well, this toy didn't show any versatility whatsoever. The least I can say about the music is that it is very 'blah'. Just the same 3 songs over and over again, and they last about 5 seconds each.

I originally purchased it as a crib mirror. When I was pregnant I heard from many people that newborns can benefit a lot from looking at themselves in a mirror, even if they don't know that it's their own image they see. So I looked for a mirror, preferably a soft one since I was going to use it with a very young baby. I chose that one because of the large size of the reflecting zone, and because it was matching the theme of the nursery. Shortly after I gave birth I realized that people were right: before she was 2 weeks old she would a;ready stare at it for long minutes, and after she got 2 months old, she started smiling whenever she saw her reflection. But that's about all there is to it as far as she was concerned. She stopped having any interest for it after she got 4-5 months old.

So even though I found it limited in its functionality, I must admit that it did a great job for the purpose we originally bought it for. So I felt that it would be unfair to give it less than 4 stars. If you are looking for a safe mirror which appeals to a newborn, that's definitely the one you need. For a 'toy' per se, even for a tummy time mirror, that's not the one I would have picked. For a tummy time mirror I would recommend the FP Baby Go! Crawl Along Snail.

Mirror scratches way to easily. Like the options for use. Nice size to mirror. Music "box" annoying but appeals to baby.

We bought this mirror because our almost 3-month old son hates being on his tummy and lifting his head up. He can do it, but he hates it. If we use this mirror, it seems to help! It's great because it stands on its own, has toys on the side that baby can grab onto, and the musical fish is genius the sounds usually persuade him to crane his head up. The only thing I dislike about it is that the black fabric of the penguin attracts dog hair like the plague. Overall it is a great product for tummy time, and playtime in general. Something about those mirrors, babies love them!!

Our daughter loves this toy and it truly does help with tummy time. It keeps her engaged talking with the "other baby" and she would stay on tummy time longer. Now that she is rolling around, she still enjoys to play with this. And as she realizes that the button on the whale plays music she is even happier. Also, this plays different music than all of her Jungle toys (THANK GOD!) so mom and dad finally get some variety!

Lamaze Mix & Match Activity Blocks

I bought these as a baby/holiday gift. Thought they were stackable, but three of the four blocks are actually connected, so you cannot stack and have baby knock over--isn't that the point of blocks?!

How disappointing. Kind of annoying to pay for shipping to return this item. Not pleased.

My son loved this from 2 months on. He is 6 months and still likes playing with these. It says spot clean only but I've run it through the washer a few times and it's still jingles, crinkled and entertains :D

As well constructed as any other Lamaze products (read: awesome), these blocks have been a success but perhaps not a 'hit' with our little girl (for hit, see Freddy the Firefly or Stacking Rings).

Still a great product, from a great company.

Miyim Simply Organic Lovie Blankie, 0-3 Months

We received "Giraffe" as he is lovingly called as a baby shower gift. He was the first toy my daughter showed interest in, and now that she is almost 5 months old, he is her absolute favorite. He goes to bed with her every night, and we can't make a car trip without him. He's small enough that there's no danger of her smothering herself (which could be a problem with regular size blankies), and the three corners which aren't his head are tied in knots that are the perfect size for "nomming" (i.e. shoving in one's mouth and slobbering on). The color does fade a bit in the wash, but given the all natural dying method miYim uses with all their toys, this isn't surprising. My daughter certainly doesn't care that he is no longer bright yellow, and structurally he has held up fantastically through many washes. We'll definitely purchase other toys from this company.

This has become our baby's favorite toy the one that goes everywhere she does. It's so soft and cozy, not too big or too small, and fun for her to chew on (which makes us especially glad that it's organic). The bunny looks more like a kangaroo (that's what we thought it was!), and has the sweetest, silliest expression. It's also a nice color of orangey pink not too bubblebum or "girly" (which is great, because I'm not a fan of pink myself). Another big plus: you can throw it in the washer and dryer. Couldn't be happier with it!

My baby is 9 months old. She has adopted this lovey and requires it to fall asleep. The ears of the bunny and the knotted corners of the blanket are perfect to keep her exploring hands busy while she eats and drifts off to sleep. It's soft but durable. She loves to rub it on her eyes when she is sleepy. I think it is the perfect size. It's small enough that I don't worry about it being in the crib with her overnight. At the same time, it's large enough for her to hold it up over her head in both hands and stretch. I don't know what we would do without this product!

My older child (2 years) loves The American Bear Company Baby Cozies which are small (maybe 8") loveys that have a stuffed animal head and a flat, easy to hold/chew on body. They're not organic, but I think they're cuter, and they wash beautifully in the washing machine and can go in the dryer too.North American Bear Monkey Cozy

Plan Toys Planpreschool Push And Pull Helicopter Push Toy

I know my son is rough on things…but we love our Plan Caterpillar and he has always held strong. If you have a particularly destructive child i would not go for this one. The propeller is held on by a sturdy elastic embedded twice into a dowel. The elastic simply didn't stand a chance against my curious almost 3 year old. This surprises me only because our beloved caterpillar is held together with the same elastic and is undamaged almost 2 years later. This is not without the usual amount of pulling, twisting, exploring, throwing… you get the idea. I will be contacting the company but I doubt much can be done.

I bought this for my son's first birthday. It's so cute, and I love that it is responsibly made. He enjoys pushing it around.

I am a big fan of quality European toys and I bought these blocks for my son about a year ago. I like the colors, pictures and they are very unique and very well made. Everybody who comes to our house asks about them. They are very durable and after a year of use they still look like brand new. My son is now two years old and they are his favorite blocks first he liked to just take them out of the box and when he was a little bit older he started to stack them and point to the pictures. Now he is trying to build a "castle". My only complaint is that these blocks come in a paper box and don't have any fabric bag for an easier storage, so after every play I have to put them back into the box. And yes they are not too thick about 0.8 inch but it doesn't mean that you can't have fun and build some great things with your child. It's a great size for their small hands :-)

Organic Cotton Hooded Towel & Wash cloth - Frog

This is the softest thickest towel I have ever seen and wish they came in adult size! I bought another one for the baby and also bought the little terry robe. One of the towels was discounted (50% off) by one of the Amazon sellers which was a great bargain. I still think it is worth it at full price.

I love all Under the Nile products, and am a regular customer I feel I am doing a good thing for my baby when choosing organic cotton, and also support a company that has respect for its employees. There is a reason why cheap stuff is cheap quality differences, or company uses questionable labor practices.

Very thick & high quality cotton terry towel. I bought a bunch of baby towels (including a few I got sucked into b/c of cute animal hoods), but this is the one I always ended up reaching for after my baby's bath.

Some size info that people might find helpful: The manufacturer says it measures 32x32", but after regular washing over the last 8 months mine is now 30x30". This was a great size for my baby's first 8 months, but he's now outgrown it. Wish it were bigger. I'm on the hunt now for a toddler-size towel of similar quality.

Highly recommended for baby's first ~8mo, but if you want something that will last for longer I would suggest just getting a toddler-size towel from the beginning.

PS about the frog puppet: Very cute and soft. Great for distracting baby during a change (especially now that he hates being on his back ever since he started sitting up), or to get him out of a grumpy state after waking up from a nap. Now that he's teething and sticking everything in his mouth, I also feel much more comfortable sucking on this puppet (made of organic cotton) vs other toys/towels we bought.
