Strawberry Shortcake Child Costume

Strawberry Shortcake Costume, ToddlerCute costume, but very, very thin and flimsy. The seams were loose straight out of the package. I can't let my daughter play in it before Halloween because I honestly don't think it would survive.

I'm really disappointed in the Rubies quality. I have another costume from several years ago made by Rubies and it is of MUCH better quality.

Although the price is right up there with some Disney products, it simply does not begin to compare in quality. That said, it is a very cute design and I'm sure she will be adorable in it come Halloween...just hope it doesn't fall apart hanging in the closet ;)

The manufacturer size was listed as 6-8, but it fits my three year old with very little room to spare. It is a bit flimsy, and was more expensive than I would have liked for a thin piece of rayon. The arms were very tight, and have had to be tailored to be wearable. But my little girl loves it, so as long as it holds up until Halloween, I'm happy.

Don't expect to use this costume more than once. It is very cheap. The bottom started to run the 1st time my daughter wore it. I don't know why it's doing that. She's not even pulling on it or anything. We had a lot of compliments on it but she will not be wearing it out again since it's falling apart.

I read that the sizes run too small. My daughter is 4 1/2 and I ordered a size Small and it fits just right. She is kind of tall but thin. I don't think this would fit a heavier girl.

Got this for my 3 yo daughter and she was the only Strawberry Shortcake for miles. The tights did not fit well (extremely baggy around ankles and had to roll the waistband 3x for better fit), but otherwise a total hit with non-stop compliments. Instead of buying the pink wig I just bought some pink hair-coloring spray at Wal-Mart for $3, drew some freckles with brown eye-liner and voila! Total cuteness!

This costume is so cute! I was disappointed that the one I received has a spot on the front under the strawberry and also a spot on the tights. I just looks like dirt so hopefully it will come out. The costume fits perfect but I think the tights would fit a child three times the age of mine. Overall this costume is very adorable.

Wonderworld Mini Toy Fire Station

Wonderworld Mini Toy Fire StationThis simple fire station and truck don't pose choking hazards for a young child as no small pieces detach. I bought it for my sixteen-month-old grandson and noticed that he has some difficulty opening the garage door. There is a small hole into which he must insert his finger to pull up the door. Sometimes the door sticks a bit and he gets frustrated.

Prank Pack Crib Dribbler

Prank Pack Crib DribblerI received this as a gag gift at my baby shower, but ultimately decided to try it out once my baby could hold her head up and crawl around a little. It works well as a formula feeder, although the mouth is far wider than the nipple on a standard bottle, so that wasn't too well thought out. Eventually the child drowned in formula. If I have a second child I might try this again, but since my first one didn't survive I may also just sell this on Craigslist.

Ninja edit: Yes, it's JUST A BOX. No actual product included. And, think back to all the other boxes you've seen: I bet you $10 you've never seen a better box in your life! Fact.

This gift was a God-send! I always thought that raising children would be no different from raising hamsters and guinea pigs and now the world will know! I'm looking forward towards the development of a habitrail and hamster balls for babies. We also look forward to potty training little Charlie in his own little litter box!

Dream On Me Melody Musical Walker

Dream On Me Melody Musical Walker, Blue/YellowI must admit, this was not my first choice. However, we have a 'healthy' baby boy that weighs 22.5 pounds and is only 7 months (barely). All of the ones I wanted to purchase had weight restrictions of 25# or 26# so it seemed kind of silly to get one of those. This one has a restriction of 30# so I figured something was better than nothing. I have no idea why it is so expensive. It is rather simple/boring....especially for the price. There are much cuter ones out there with more bells and whistles for less money. So far, he seems to enjoy it. The 3 music melodies are a little annoying but he seems entertained by it. Like most babies, he is in the habit of chewing everything and attempts to stick everything in his mouth. There are no 'fun' objects attached to the tray that allow him to do so. I have attempted to attach my own toys to the walker with rings but there are really no places to do this. He tries to gnaw on the horn/steering wheel.....kind of funny. So, if you have a 'healthy' baby and just need to find a walker to help your little one develop and grow then this is okay. If you have other options since your baby weighs less, go for something else.

no regrets...baby loves it. At 6m he only scoots backwards. Very modern and simple with removable play tray. Nice rear rubber wheels and little plastic front wheels. I have a bb and chose the yellow and blue. Very mellow and fits through basic doorways and easy to adjust. $60 was a bit much because of it's simplicity, but anything for my baby:>

This walker is very cute! I love how it looks like a car, light's up & plays music! My 6 month old daughter loves it. However the back wheels are very hard to turn. It is hard for her to move it around even on hard floors. I would not recommend this walker for "walking" because it is not able to move around very easily due to the back wheels.

Read Best Reviews of Dream On Me Melody Musical Walker Here

When we first got this one it was hard for my son to make it go. The wheels on the back are restricted to slow your kid down but too much so. I popped off the wheel restricters and off he went!! We have tile floors downstairs so this was great. He could also get it moving on the carpet but not as easily. Just watch out if you are barefoot and your little one drives this walker over your foot it hurts!! Wear shoes or keep YOUR feet out of the way!

My son has out grown this walker now and it stores well and folds down.

"Raspberry" Rattle Teddy Bear 9"

'Raspberry' Rattle Teddy Bear 9'This little bear is adorable. It has enough pink to be feminine, but also enough variation in pattern to be a little more detailed and original. We used it in a gift basket and were able to coordinate lots of varying shades of magenta, fuschia and pink, to give the overall effect a bit of whimsy. The bear was sturdy and well made. I haven't seen it "in action" with the gift recipient, but I thought it was a treasured find.

Mary Meyer Big Bear Plush Toy

Mary Meyer Big Bear Plush Toy, PinkI purchased bear for my 10 month old grandson. It is bigger than I expected but it is the softest sweetest bear I have ever seen. My grandson loves to hug him and sleep with him. I would highly recommend this purchase for any child

I purchased this adorable bear as a birthday gift for my toddler granddaughter. Her favorite color is pink. I can hardly wait to give it to her. Price a bit higher than I would normally pay for a teddy bear but very happy with the look, quality and "hugability" of this bear. I highly recommend this bear for those moms and grandmothers who are blessed with a special little girl in their life.

Bright Starts Take'n Shake Cow, 0M+

Bright Starts Take'n Shake Cow, 0M+My son loves this, I hooked it up to his car seat and he always reaches up and tugs on the cow and it vibrates back up. He would hold on to the cow and fall asleep with it in his grasp. He really took notice to it on his car seat from 5 to 7 months. At 7 months I had to move him into a convertible car seat that doesn't have a place to dangle this toy from, but I am sure if it did he would still be reaching for it. He would reach for it as soon as I would place him in his car seat. It would entertain him until he fell asleep. It was his favorite car seat toy.

100 Fun Ballz Ball Pit Balls - Kids Love 'Em!

100 Fun Ballz Ball Pit Balls - Kids Love 'Em!I have tried several kinds of ball pit balls. We thought we would have the best luck with the balls they sell at One Step Ahead...unfortunately they crush so easily.

My toddler twins ahve a great time in their ball pit with these excellent balls!

They are large size, not like the little dinky ones they sell at wal mart and target. They have great bright colors and are very very durable. Not one has crushed yet!!

We love these ball pit balls. They undergo extensive play and none have popped. The inflation seems just right they are nice and soft and squishy, while still firm. Very pleased!

I purchased these for my 20 month old daughter to use in her tunnel/tent. I opened the package and out of the 100 balls, over half were dented in. I stopped couting at 54 of them being squished in. These are the cheapest and thinnest "non balls" I have ever seen. I would send them back if it wasnt such a pain in the butt finding packaging to send them back (I threw away packaging and placed them under the tree for Christmas when the time came). Not worth your money.

Have been using the balls with my 1 year old (now) for about 2 months.

Have not detected any paint coming off the balls thus far...a big problem with others we found.

We still try to not let her put the balls in her mouth just to be safe, but feel very comfortable with this product.

Little Tikes Pop Tunes Boom Box

Little Tikes Pop Tunes Boom BoxMy son has the older version -the blue one. I believe this one has slightly different music, but I'm sure it's still great. He got it when he was about a year old (he's 15 months now) and plays with it every single day, which is rare with all of the toys that we have. He pushes the button and dances over and over. He never really plays with the little toys on the front, he's more interested in the songs. If your child loves music and likes to dance you won't regret buying it! Really reasonably priced and by far our most used toy. Also very durable. We bought ours used, and our son is pretty rough with his toys, but besides a few little scuffs here and there it's in prefect shape. Would make a great gift too, probably for as young as 6 months and maybe even 2 and up.

This was the most popular toy in the infant room at our daughter's day care so we bought one for her at home when she was a year old. She loves it and we always laugh that it plays Smashmouth! Now she is 2 1/2 years old and we have a 4 month old who is enthralled with the lights and music of it. It's sure to be a favorite!

Nothing fancy, just a little entertainment for a toddler. It only plays 4 songs and has a few little noise makers. He likes it, especially when I hide it for a few days and then get it out and push the button for a song. He is starting to move to the music and he seems to have fun with it.

Our one-year-old triplet granddaughters just love this gift. They love the little removable CDs, and putting them in and taking them out of the boom box. But their favorite part is the music. They are all now dancing to the beat of songs that --rather than being annoying--are great oldies that we enjoy, as well. The toy is sturdy, colorful and light enough that they carry it around even though they have only recently started walking. The best musical toy out of 3 we purchased for their first birthday!

My daughter (21 months) will play the music and dance for a good 10, 15 minutes. The songs are not very long, but long enough to enjoy the beat. It's a favorite.

Boikido Wooden Counting Station

Boikido Wooden Counting StationI bought this for my one year old and he loves it. We did expect it to be a little bigger because the price was high but other then that its a great toy!

So I wanted to buy my son a toy like this but everywhere I looked it was just to expensive and this seemed to be the most reasonable. I was sooo wrong. As soon as I got this product in the mail it was just to tiny. I mean it was small. I was so disappointed that I got a toy like this for my son. I was thinking I was going to get a big toy that stands on the floor that is at least bigger than my 12 month old. I was so wrong this was half the size of my 12 month old. I would have returned it but it was just too much of a hassle. For the price that they are selling this for it is not worth buying. I would settle for the ones you get at Target or at Toys R' Us or somewhere else for that matter. He barely even plays with this thing cause he just carries it around tossing it around cause that's how small it is. I'm just plainly dissapointed by this product.

Manhattan Toy Automoblox Wooden Car Collection

Automoblox Hot Rod HR3I bought the Automoblox truck for my grandson's 4th birthday. It has an instant hit. He liked that he could take the truck apart and put together another combination.

The truck body is actually 3 parts, the front end, the truck cab(body) and the truck bed, joined together by very easy to use bright green plugs. The truck puts together as shown in the images, or the cab can be eliminated to make a cute little "buggy".

This toy is very sturdy and appears to be well designed and engineered. I'll be checking with my grandson to see how well his Automoblox truck is holding up to daily play. The Automoblox information says that each Automoblox model is interchangeable with other models. So, if this model is holding up well, I will be ordering at least one of the other models for Christmas.

Caution for those with smaller children who still like to eat their toys; there are wooden people who plug into the inside of the truck cab, the toy loses very little play appeal if you tuck those away until the eating urge passes.

The only downside I can think of is that the price was a bit high. However, it does come in a very sturdy cardboard box that seems designed to create the image of an heirloom toy. I can see that happening. All in all, if the toy holds up as it appears it is designed to do, that is money well spent.

We now have three of the automoblox cars. They are a great toy and happen to be the only toy my 4 year old son hasn't lost a part of. They are easy to pull apart and put together and are sturdy. They are a tab pricy, but the fact that they have lasted as long as they have makes up for that. He enjoys having 3 of them now so that he can mix and match the parts. My babysitter is going to get more of them for all of the kids to play with.

Buy Manhattan Toy Automoblox Wooden Car Collection Now

We own two Automoblox (blue sedan and green truck) and while they are well made and nice cars to play with the idea of pulling them apart and building new cars is extremely limited with only two. The price is a serious limit on how many we can afford and two cars just doesn't create much variety.

Also, you can't just pull the end off one and place on on another -the interior connector has to be switched out, which is too tricky for 5 year old fingers. The documentation says "this offers a welcome level of complexity" but I think it just makes it needlessly difficult.

This is an exceptional toy, that combines the gross motor skill training of block, the fine motor skills training of fitting pieces together in the correct manner, and the creativity of learning how to use different pieces to make unique creations.

It's solid wood, good quality, and well-packaged. The vehicles are made in the USA, although the wood is German beech wood.

The price is a bit high, but this isn't a "mass market" toy, this is a toy that seems like it could be passed down to your kid's children. Obviously, you can tell I was very happy with the toy.

Want Manhattan Toy Automoblox Wooden Car Collection Discount?

The automoblox cars are expensive, but worth the expense. I gave one to my 4-year-old grandson, and he loves it; he spends a lot of time taking it apart and putting it back together; he plays with the people and makes up stories about the people in the car. His 2-year-old brother also fell in love with this car, so I bought him an automoblox truck. Another great hit. He loves to take off the wheels and put them back on. He also loves to put the truck back inside the molded plastic container, and to fit that back into the box, which is now the "garage."

This is a simple toy, very well made, which encourages a child to do a lot of imaginative play.

Lamaze Baby Toy, Shiver the SharpeiAs good as expected. Good size and vibrant colors. My little one already loves it and he is only 10 weeks old.

I put this on my 4 month old baby's carrier and he really likes it! Within a week he had learned to pull the rings and extend the body (it vibrates and shakes when rings are released). The different parts of the body have different textures and make different noises, and he enjoys grabbing and gnawing on it :-)

Cuski Cuskiboo Lovie

Cuski Cuskiboo Lovie, Blue-eeUsed this since my child was 3 months old and started to teethe and sleep in his own room. I slept with it for a couple days so it smelled like me-I believe this is very important for the child to attach to the Cuski. I and my husband both believed it helped tremendously with "separation anxiety" helping him to sleep through the night AND with his teething. He has never used a pacifier or his fingers for comfort. We only used the Cuski which stayed in his bed and the Sophie Giraffe which we took with us in the car and stroller. We have three now to rotate, b/c they do get dirty and my child has "chewed through" a couple as he was teething. He just finished cutting his two year molars and I hadn't even noticed it until we took him to his two year checkup and the doctor said his molars were just breaking through the skin. . . i cannot recommend this highly enough.

My son loves this! The knot at the end of the hat is perfect for him to chew on while he's teething, and it's so soft! We have 3 of them to rotate through the wash so he's always got a clean one with him.

Buy Cuski Cuskiboo Lovie Now

My 5 month old loves his cuskiboo already. It has a nice soft texture and puts him to sleep in half the time. He likes to chew it and rub it against his face. I had no problem with the smell. I washed it once, as I do any new item and it smelled like Gain after. We LOVE cuskiboo!

I bought this as a transitional object when I started sleep training my 5 month old. She would hold it and play with it, but then one day I heard her gagging over the monitor. When I went in there, the 'top knot' of the cuski was down her throat. That particular part of the product is too long and skinny, and as babies tend to put everything in their mouths, it could potentially be a choking hazard. I fixed it by tying several more knots in the length, and I haven't had any problems since (5 months)

I bought this for my 8 week old hoping to replace her human pacifier for this cute little "ghostie" as we like to call it. But, she is not even remotely interested in it. Also, it has an odd smell to it that we can't seem to get rid of. It's almost a petroleum smell of some sort so I am not sure how it can absorb my odor when it is so smelly with this weird odor.

Mommy & Me Doll Stroller with Swiveling Wheels - 9302R

Mommy & Me Doll Stroller with Swiveling Wheels - 9302RThis and a baby doll were her favorite gifts. I thought it would be flimsy and tip Webern pushed, but it's short enough and doesn't tip. It's just like a real stroller. The wheels manouver well.

Bought this for my 18 month old when she became a big sister and has been used almost daily for about 5 months. I love it and so does she. It has the swiveling wheels which make maneuvering a lot easier for her and its a great height (she is a tall 18 month old but it would work for younger as well I think). It is pretty lightweight-definitely wouldn't work to put an actual child in it-but it works wonderful for her dolls and folds up easily and compactly so we can even take It to grandmas house. Would buy another if I had the need or as a gift. Very pleased with my purchase.

Alex Jr. Peek and Link

Alex Jr. Peek and LinkI bought these for my 8-month old since she loves to "link" things together. The package arrived completely open already, so the contents and links were all over the shipping box.

After giving them to my daughter, she played with them for all of 20 seconds and had no interest since then. We've since used them to attach toys to her car seat, stroller, and walker, but other than that, they're completely useless to us. :-(

Bought this toy to hook on to my baby's stroller. Very disappointing: can't get it to hook onto the stroller (I have a graco) and it has very little play value for my 9 month old (the mirror is okay but the other piece requires much more dexterity & fine motor skills than would be normal at this age)
