Galt Pop Up Toy

It is unfortunate that I am forced to give this toy a one-star review after all, it provided great entertainment for my baby until I realized that the paint on the little pop up sticks was chipping off into his mouth. This happened the first time my son played with this toy, and within 2-3 minutes there were paint chips on his face and in his mouth. I will not be letting him play with this again. Let's face it, this is a toy for babies (12 months and up), and babies put everything in their mouths. With all of the worry regarding lead-infused children's toys, you would think that Galt would construct a better product. I have attempted to contact the manufacturer, but haven't been successful. I felt compelled to review this toy to warn other parents considering purchasing it for their babies.

This is the gift we give to 1 year olds. It has fabulous staying power. One year olds are fascinated by getting the pegs in the holes. As kids get older, they learn the difference between pegs being upside down and right-side up, the faces on the pegs facing all the same way, and then they start to match them up by color. Of course, the "boing" factor is fun for everyone (including grandparents). I have 4-year-olds at my house who like to play with this toy.

I bought this to give to a 1-year old. Unfortunately the paint was already chipping on the green-colored pop-up when I received it. It is too bad because I am very partial to wood toys and this one gets such high marks in its use for teaching hand/eye coordination....

I purchased this for my son who is currently 11 months old... Right now he doesn't really know what to make of it and just blinks rapidly when the little figures pop out of the base... I can totally see him growing into this though since I find it amusing myself. It is such a nice, simple little toy. I hate all of the plastic junk that is out there and appreciate that it is made out of wood. No chipping paint yet as others have experienced. It is priced well to give it a try to see if you and your children like it for yourselves...

Its been a few years since I've bought this but was so glad to find it once again to give my first grandchild. Our kids have loved playing with these and we've given them as gifts to many other babies for many years. Its small and travels easily, there is a progression as to how kids can learn from it, and its amazing how long they will play with such a simple thing (thanks to the springs!).

Infant Stimulation Crib Bumper Panel - Genius Baby Toys

I bought this after receiving the Wimmer-Ferguson infant stim-mobile as a gift. My son took to it as soon as we put it in his crib. The black-white-red prints are bold and he was instantly entertained by this even at just over a month old. He's 3 months old now and still enjoys it as an alternative to the mobile. I highly recommend this panel, as it is entertaining, easy to wash and easy to travel with.

Baby loves it and the price was right too. Great for newborn babies. Highly recommended!

Would make a good baby shower gift.

Little Tikes First Slide

My 2.5 yr old daughter loves her slide and loves inviting her 3 yr old cousin over to the house to play on it. The way the slide levels out at the bottom allows for a safe landing and helps me relax when I see the girls going down backwards and/or head first(I don't encourage this, but we all know, turn your head for a second and the kids are creating new ways to play with their toys). They follow each other up the steps, and the slide is sturdy without sway. I'm very happy with the slide.

I bought this slide for my 2-yr old niece but was surprised that my 17-yr old son could climb the steps and even slide down it. The steps are nice and wide for her to step on safely and the handle features are nice for her to hold on to. She loves to slide down, run back around and do it over and over and over. So far no problems, looks very durable and stable. Overall good toy for the price.

He loves it and plays everyday. We've had it for almost 2 months. I almost went with the shorter one, but am glad I didn't, since this is the perfect height. The thing snaps together in 60 seconds or less. It isn't prone to tipping, since the legs are wider than appear on the picture. No sharp edges to catch or cut. The plastic is extra thick, so I can't imagine "ever" wearing it out or cracking it. I should've gotten it for him a year ago.

This product arrived on time and in good condition. It took all of 5 minutes to attach the ladder and the handles. I ordered this for my 18 month old granddaughter...and her 6 year old sister. Both of them love it and it is sturdy enough for the 6 year old and easy enough to climb for the 18 month old. Both of the girls have enjoyed this for four days straight. I would use this indoors more than out because they land pretty hard at the bottom until they are older. But I would definitely buy this again.

It's not horrible, but it is a bit flimsier than little tikes outdoor toys usually are. Made with a different plastic (more like a toy truck than a normal outdoor toy) that is also not textured so the slide is a little grippy on skin or rubber (like the soles on shoes), and the plastic scratches easily which is more nocticable bc of the lack of texture. Our other little tikes items are all made with a thicker plastic that has a very light ( not really noticeable until you don't have it) matte texture so scratches go unnoticed and bottoms slide smoothly down.

YKS 12 Baby Kids Educational Toys Finger Plush Toys

Great price. Cute puppets but they are a little small for my fingers. I think they would fit a child's finger perfect but I bought them to stimulate my 2 month old.

Sensory Balls (set of 4)

These are really great. They are about the same size or a tad larger then as a softball with the prickly points added on. As a previous reviewer stated I bought these for a child with a sensory issue as well. He has fun rolling them between his hands and against his face. There are hard but not hard enough to harm or cause discomfort. They are bright and colorful. These balls also seem very durable. I am not concerned about them falling apart. My younger two children (ages 2 and 4) love them as much as big brother.

The only reason I am rating them 4 starts versus 5 is I would have made them just a hair softer and they seem a tad on the pricey side. Minor quibbles and overall very good toys.

we've enjoyed these balls for a good amount of time now. they were good when our son was an infant: neat texture, easy to grab. and now that he's a toddler i dont have to worry about him breaking things with these balls as he throws them.

Aqua Leisure SunSmart Buggy float - Girl's Flower Sunshade Buggy

I bought this for an upcoming trip to Maui so it wasn't opened until we got ready to walk to the pool at our resort. The stopper was difficult to close and kept popping open. Once we got it to bend shut, it was deflating after just a few minutes ---quite dangerous if you think about your child in the water. The steering wheel had a separate stopper and it never closed so that was a complete flop.

Did they not even test a single product before putting it on the market??

All the other little kiddies at the pool had such cute floats. I got ripped off.

Julia in Portland

I ordered this product because the photograph is of the pink & purple buggy float. However, I received the all pink buggy float. The all pink buggy float was available at a local retailer for much less than I paid. I also found the shipping cost to be excessive.

Bright Starts Bloomin Blocks

I purchased these blocks for my daughter at around 4 months along with a few other toys. Once we got home however, she only had eyes for these. Now that she's 8 months, she still loves them. Her favorite block is the one with the crinkly butterfly on it. She loves to "talk" to it or chew on it. Considering she plays with them everyday, they take quite a beating and still they look like new. No holes and pretty easy to keep clean. I'm very happy that I made this purchase and I would highly recommend!

don't buy this here! If you go to brightstarts.com, you can buy these for 10.99$!! Why pay double for the same thing?

I am actually pretty crafty and had made my own version of these taggy type blocks but they were not holding my daighters attention and did not have much texture to them.

The sounds from the chimes and crinkle paper seem to captivate her as well. We love them and highly recommend them as a gift!

North American Bear Company - Satin Ears Bear Rattle

Cute bear, but not as soft as I expected. I had ordered another product(a little princess) from this company made out of the same material(velboa) and it was much softer. Also the stuffing isn't real soft. I suppose my expectations were high because of the princess doll. It is well made with pretty blue satin ears and a very pretty blue satin bow. It would be a nice gift for a newborn. It has a classy and sweet look.

Moulin Roty Les Zazou Plush Doll

I love this cat that I got for my daughter and I wouldn't subtract a star for the dimensions, but... since they weren't included in the description I had been imagining these toys a bit bigger. Especially for the price, you'd think you would get a more substantial toy, but oh well. For anyone interested in the dimensions, the kitty is just over 7 inches when sitting and it's just over 12 inches total from head to toe. I'll post pics with a ruler for a reference if anyone wants to see what this toy really looks like in person. Anyway, it's still super-soft and it's filled with little plastic (I'm assuming) beads so it has a fun feel to it if you're getting it for a baby. I really love the neutral expression on the kitty's face too, it's so cute! I guess it doesn't really matter what I think though, the recipient is the one who should be the most excited with this cat and in my case she was! I bought this for my 9-month-old daughter and she has been captivated by it since I took it out of the (awesome) box. She smiles at it and snuggles face-to-face with it, it's the most cuddly she's ever been with a toy before. I still do wish it were a bit bigger, but I'm not a toy designer, so what do I know? Lol. It's still a high-quality stuffed animal and that is apparent as soon as you see it, so I'd recommend it for anyone looking to find their baby a special lovie or perhaps for someone looking to buy a nice gift.

I love moulin routy toys. They are so cute and extremely well made, soft, huggable and the perfect size. My kids love them!

I bought this lovely doll for my son (4 years old), who loves lions. He was so excited when he saw the doll, and cuddles with it at night time ever since. The doll is very soft and cuddly, naïve in a good way, and has good proportions. Its colors are nice and calm, and in my opinion, it's a very aesthetic doll. I didn't try to wash it yet, but I love the fact it is machine washable.

Playskool Walk N Ride - Pink

Got this for my DD 8 months ago. She was frustrated that her big brother was walking (he's 4) and she just couldn't get it. So, I bought this toy. She LOVED it. She squealed and was walking with it in no time. It took her a small while to figure out how to turn once she hit a barrier. It was lightweight enough that if she got stuck in a corner she could pick it up and turn around. My best friend has a LO that is 3 months younger than my DD. He visited and loved the walker so much that I bought the blue version for him for his birthday. He has been walking a lot more and better than before. He also squealed with delight when using this toy. My DD is almost 17 months old and still uses this.

I would and have recommended this product.

I am very happy with this toy. My son is 10 months old (about 27" tall) and is able to walk a few steps on his own, but prefers to walk with support. This push toy allows me to get some housework done or sit down for a couple of minutes. He can push it around easily, in part because the wheels don't turn, it slides nicely on our wood floor. He pushes it in the upright and the down position, it is a bit more sturdy in the down position. It is perfect for his size and stage of mobility, but I would not recommend this for an older child because of its size.

I got this as a gift..part of the gift is that my friends put it together for us! My daughter just loves this walker..how can I even call it a walker; it's a runner for her! She does circles around the house. She puts her stuffed animals in it for a ride. I know it's building up her legs to walk on her own and then she'll be able to ride on this. This is by far her favorite toy out of the many, many toys in the house!

My son was starting to cruise around and I wanted something that he could push. I loved that this toy was a push toy that converted to something that he could ride once he got older. This toy is very poorly manufactured. It isn't sturdy at all! My son has already pulled all of the parts off. It looks and feels very cheap. Spend a few dollars more and get another brand that is actually sturdy and doesn't fall apart. We had it two days before my son was able to pull the attachments off. He can't even walk with it very well, because the wheels dont roll smoothly and it's not sturdy and flips over. Total waste of money!!!!

My 9mth old granddaughter has been pulling up and walking along the table for a while. We noticed she started trying to walk without holding on. She is fearless. I wanted this for Christmas could not find a pink one in stores, so I ordered it online. No problem with shipping and my granddaughter is walking still a little wobbly but that's where the toy comes in. She already loves to ride it more than walking with it. She loves the activities on it.

Levels Of Discovery Fairy Wishes Table and 2 Chair Set Pink/White

My 5-year old loves this table to eat at, do homework, draw, arts and crafts, etc. Quality seems good for a kids' item, and so far, no problem wiping off spills or washable markers (not sure about paint or permanent markers).

I also like that it does not have over-commercialized characters like Disney princesses like so many others but rather just a whimsical design.

Also, I had this out of the box and put together in under 10 minutes.

Love love love it! Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. Excellent quality, best price of anywhere. Will definitely be buying matching vanity.

Fabric Rattle - Green

It is not that loud, so it does not always sooth the boy. Very soft. Not a safety hazard. Good.

i bought this item (from a different seller)and was very disappointed to learn you only get ONE rattle. They are sold separately so this item 's description is misleading. I thought I was ordering the set of 3 rattles. Also, it is not very durable especially for a baby who puts everything in her mouth and is teething. The rattle has a mesh netting that is not holding up to being chewed on nor being washed. I would not recommend this for a baby but perhaps a toddler who is no longer teething.

Unlike the other reviewer, I received a set of 3 rattles. They appear to be well-made. However, they have "Made in China" stickers on the tags. I thought Haba toys were made in Germany; therefore, I was disappointed and returned them.

Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Press & Go Assortment

This toy is simple. You push down the birds on the crock's back and it will roll across the floor. It doesn't need batteries and will work on carpeting. It is a nice, simple, easy toy and is fun as well. My baby loves to crawl around after it.

Wader Sand and Water Mill (Colors May Vary)

I very much like the concept and the construction of this toy. It is rather cute and I could see where this would be a snadbox/beach favorite. I think it is the perfect size for little hands, even though it was smaller than I had anticipated.

I am, however, VERY disappointed in how it came. The face on the big red sun arrived scratched up. I bout this as a gift and now feel the impact is lessened and I will need to compensate.

Little Tikes Softie Blocks - assorted colors, one size

I never realized on the description it saying anything about the soft blocks having the crinkle material on them. These blocks have various textures that make them unlike most other soft blocks. Parts of them are cloth, silky, felt, and of course material with the crinkle behind it. I feel much better having my daughter play with these versus rigid wooden blocks as she is still a little prone to falling over and such grabbing toys.

my son loves to chew on them, but his hands are still a little too small to really grasp them.

Batman with Muscle Chest Child Costume - Kid's Costumes

I bought this costume for my 3 1/2 year old son for Halloween 2010. He has worn it several times for many different parties and it is still in great shape. He absolutely loves it! One of the best features about this product is that the cape is attached to the mask so that if someone accidentally steps on the cape from behind it slightly jerks his head back this is much more preferable than the vast majority of Batman costumes that have a cape that ties around the neck causing strangulation issues. The mask is also made of some type of neoprene material so it is very soft and it can be flipped up so he doesn't have to look through the eyeholes if he so chooses.

The costume is great but the material has ripped on many of the seams. Not great quality for the price but my son loves it so I guess that's all that matters. Hopefully, it will hold up!

I purchased this costume for my 8 year old and to be on the safe size I bought the 10-12 which is a size Large. The costume fits him fine on the body, (which to me says that they run small in the body part of the costume, he's not heavy at all,) yet the costume is super long. I had to shorten the costume quite a bit. And he's by no means a short boy. So be aware of this.

Also, the Mask with attached cape is of a very small size. The cape is long and fine but the attached face mask only comes down to his forehead. I'm wondering if the cape and mask are of a one size fits all type. So, I will have to do some work to make the mask fit or buy him another cheap mask to go with the costume.

Overall, for the price, the costume is of an ok quality but the sizing seems to have some major issues. Just be aware of this when you order.

I spent a lot of time trying to decide between this size and the "toddler" size. Ordered the confusing size "medium 8-10" for age 5-7. However, it actually is sized for age 8-10 I think. My son is a pretty tall 6 yr old, so this was way off. The yellow utility belt that the package is supposed to have was missing. The cape was attached to the head mask and the ears do not stick up but lie flat against the head. The only thing that was "good" about this costume was the muscle chest. However, I do not recommend this product. Would not buy it again even if it fit correctly.

Nice costume for the price of $10.00. Only recommendation would be to make the muscle chest plate more flexible and not so stiff.

My now 9 month old has always been interested in the jewelry around my neck. Since I am an athlete I typically wear a cord type necklace with a pendant (sturdy). When I came across SmartMom Teething Bling and noticed that the necklace was a similar cord yet had silicone/food grade beads I figured this was a better option for my baby. The cord is longer than the necklaces I normally wear, but once I put it to use I found out why! Baby can easily grab and chew on the teething bling without strangling mom. He is very content and can busy himself for a good amount of time when I am carrying him in my arms or in the Moby. I've bought additional Teething Bling necklaces and have started buying them as gifts for mom-to-be. Love!
