Fisher-Price Stacking Vehicle Ice Cream Truck
But the pictures are a bit misleading--at least with the cars we have. When the cars are taken out of the stack the "drivers" of the middle and top cars fall down into their respective cars so that only about a 1/4" of them is visible. These two drivers are only seen if they are stacked. It's not a big deal, but I wish Fisher-Price had made a way for them to twist and lock in the upright position once they are unstacked. Maybe we're missing something.
That issue aside, we're happy with the purchase and it is a very cute set that both my daughter and four year-old son have enjoyed. And the stacking feature is not only nice for play purposes but for storage as well.This toy is super cute and the songs are not annoying. One of the three cars (the bottom ice cream truck) ligths up and makes noise. It's nice to have a set of cars that are girlish in color. Our daughter is six months old and she loves rolling the cars around (and tries to eat them too, of course). Very cute toy!

Our 9 month old baby girl has been playing with these for a couple months now and really enjoys them.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Stacking Vehicle Ice Cream Truck Here
I wanted some "girl" cars, and these are cute. One of them plays music, and they also stack, so it is nice that they have multiple functions. My baby just isn't interested in them. I think she is not as drawn to the pastel colors, like she is to the "boy" cars that are brighter.Want Fisher-Price Stacking Vehicle Ice Cream Truck Discount?
Cute, but not that exciting. I got this for a gift for my 1 year old cousin. She was really not that interested in it, and I could see why, just kind of boring. I would probably buys something else if given the chance again.Sunday, April 20, 2014

Melissa & Doug Jenna - 12" Doll
Buy Melissa & Doug Jenna - 12" Doll Now
I ordered this baby doll for a 2yr. old little girl I care for and it is absolutely beautiful and she love her so much, she likes her pacifier too! I am ordering another baby doll for my 1 yr. old niece that is visiting from K.C. in a couple of weeks! Just the perfect size to carry around. I also ordered the Feeding set by Melissa and Doug, it also was perfect for this baby.Read Best Reviews of Melissa & Doug Jenna - 12" Doll Here
Doll is cute with pillow body and plastic molded arms, legs and head. Eyes don't really close fully when lying down. Outfit is cute.BUT the smell is so gagging I feel like throwing it away. I see some people calling the smell "faint" which to me means there is a problem with the perfume sprayer at the factory and some dolls get an extra heavy dose of the stuff while others actually have a faint smell.
Either that or some people just don't have a very good sense of smell. I enjoy cooking and tasting small variations in different foods and drinks, and I can really tell the difference between cheap and expensive perfume, so if you are a like me I recommend you get a different doll.
Because our doll is so grossly overscented, the perfume transfers everywhere. I tried scrubbing her clothes and the scent still lingers there, and the clothes are irrelevant anyway because her pillow body is embedded with it.
Yuck.I was debating between this doll and the Corolle. I was so afraid that the scent would not be pleasant from some reviews. I went ahead and ordered this anyway and am completely happy! Smaller which is perfect for my almost 2 year old, but my son who is 3 loves it too. Sits up nicely which is a plus for the shopping cart we have. Smell is lightlike baby powder (I am already sensitive to smell, but being pregnant even more so now). Not sure what others are complaining about. No bad smell on my daughter either from itI actually expected to deal with some sort of bad smell, but seriously, nothing bad. Also, if I spent $20 more on a doll this small, I would of been upset. Too high of a price tag for a doll of this size$15 is right on. The You & Me clothes are perfect and the pacifier fits as well (Toys R Us). Baby is a lot cuter than many I have seen and the body is sturdier than most in stores while still being soft. If you like to over investigate like me, save your time and just go for itnothing to lose for this small of a price tag and free shopping. Wish they had a boy version or another doll that looked different so I could buy more.

Little Bo Peep Costume
Buy Little Bo Peep Costume Now
We received this costumes and it only had one flower at the top when it pictures 2. The one that it had fell off the second I put it on my daughter to try on. When I looked at it I noticed it had been GLUED on! For the amount of money we spent on this I expected alot more! Not to mention when I put the bonnet on her one of the straps broke off immediately as I was tying it under her chin. We had to sew that back on.Also, this was advertized as being a size 2. Upon delivery it was size 2-4 which was giant on my petite 2 year old!

This product is cute just be aware that the item is not necessarily as shown in the picture. I received my first order and the dress was torn on the sleeve and looked to have been used and returned. Amazon promptly sent me a replacement, as usual I was very pleased with Amazon's customer service. However, the second costume I received did not look like the picture. The dress is supposed to have two layers, however, it was sewn so that the dress only had one layer and it was not nearly as cute as the picture.Want Little Bo Peep Costume Discount?
This costume has inspired me to do what I always wanted to. Buy a sewing machine, learn how to use it, and make costumes myself. The costume is what it says; barely. The overall impression is of something very cheaply made and I cringe to think of the river in China that will never be the same because of all the synthetic product in this outfit. The material felt worse than polyester and maintained heat like a grain silo. One of the rosettes was already falling off the hat before it even came out of the bag.That saidwhile it does look less cute in person, people complemented my toddler in it and she liked the fact that she looked cute (until she started sweating so much we had to take it off).
If you're in a time crunch (for say, Halloween) it will do, but be prepared for it looking better from further away and potentially needing to do some sewing repair.
The seller was very prompt in shipmentno complaints.

Manhattan Toy Dress Up
PROS:
~ Adorable from top-to-toe! He has a really cute face, an attractive & colorful outfit, & the eye-patch & the parrot are nice touches, too.
~ Well-made, mostly (Please read the list of "CONS" for further info).
~ The selection of fabrics look AND feel great.
~ The snap & button work well, & the pocket with the button is a real, usable pocket.
Adorable? Yes...no doubt about it.
Interesting to my child? Nope...chalk up one FAIL for the parents, but there are other, more tangible issues to be aware of.
CONS:
~ About the "mostly" part regarding how well made the toy is, here's the deal...THE BUCKLE. It only LOOKS like a buckle; it performs in no way like one would expect a buckle should. It's an over-the-shoulder strap with a faux, plastic, non-buckling buckle, with a tiny square of Velcro (or "fabric fastener" as they must have to call it) located on the underside of the strap. Educational? Barely. It's been used maybe three times, and the stitching along all but one side of the Velcro square is gone. It's now a flap of Velcro rather than a patch. Having said that, the rest of it is so well made, I have to believe this might be a fluke.
~ It's way more petite than I thought it would be. There's not much to work with, really.
~ The zipper shoe is only 1 1/2" long.
~ The laces -that can't be used to laceare only 4" long, thick, & awkward with which to work.
~ I don't get the purpose for the dagger other than decoration. It's attached to the inside bottom of the pocket with a thick piece of elastic so when you try to pull the dagger out, the pocket gets all scrunched-up.
We'll keep it because we have a "thing" for pirates, and it's a really cute doll that looks good on the shelf.I bought this for Chirstmas for my then almost 3 yr old and he liked it. After nearly a year his "friend" has gone many places with us but my son has shown little interest in dressing or undressing the pirate to he really seems to be just a friend. He might be too young for that just yet as he doesn't button his own clothes but he does know how to dress himself for the most part. I can't say the doll helped teach him anything though but again, he is happy to have a pirate friend to adventure with.

We have a similar toy in the shape of a colorful hound dog--both made by Manhattan baby. In contrasting the two toys, the hound is much better made and presents easier to manipulate "skill stations."As an example, the pirate's boot zipper is difficult for an adult to use, the shoe lacing on the other boot requires a very careful tying due to the provided length; ours, also, came with a flaw in the cording.
The pirate's sword resembles an ice cream cone and reinserting it in the sheath is going to require the help of an older sibling. A soft pirate's map would be my suggestion. The hound's pockets are generous and stitched/ constructed with a more substantial fabric. If your young toddler is able to successfully button the Pirate's pocket, start their college engineer fund immediately and forgo preschool. The hound has a button twice the size and an opening with forgiveness for beginners.
The pirate's gloves are not removable and unlike the hound, he is sans pants. He has an adorable belly-button.
I also wish his hat (the closure could velcro) was replaceable to enable a young child to practice dressing from the top down. He could sport hair the child could comb. The pirate has a elegant parrot with an interior rattle--but most 18+ months are so beyond rattles.
Mr. Pirate is a cute doll, overpriced for the educational component, and could be improved to incorporate many features found in their hound version.My son was 19 months old when we bought this toy. It is by far the cutest one we found for boys. It really was adorable which appealed to me. He loved the toy, loves to un-snap and un-zip it. I also likes to take the sword out, and since it's on a short piece of elastic it just pops back in the pocket. He totes his "Captian Jack" all over. I would recommend this dress up toy!This was Grandma's 1st doll purchase for my one year old granddaughter's First Birthday. We've already named her Mary. If you are looking for soft, cuddly, and a learning opportunity with buttons, shoes, zippers, etc, this is perfect.

Buy NASA Jr. Astronaut Suit (Orange) Infant Costume Now
This costume is super cute! The material for the costume we received was not the fleece as described or pictured, but was still very soft and light weight. The elastic belt helps the costume work for smaller and skinnier kiddos like my little man. We noticed one small flaw with one of the patches where the edging was somehow cut, but not enough of an issue to return it. Overall, very happy with the purchase.Read Best Reviews of NASA Jr. Astronaut Suit (Orange) Infant Costume Here
I bought this for halloween, I like that it's not like any costume out there, it's not tacky, clean looking and yet it's still cute to wear. it's very easy to wear since it's just like a onesie, very warm for cold halloween weather, don't buy this if you think your area is a little bit warm on halloween. you can also wear this outside halloween time.Want NASA Jr. Astronaut Suit (Orange) Infant Costume Discount?

Buy Alphabet Train Poster, 36x24, Two Objects Per Letter! Now
The alphabet train poster is adorable! My son (2.5 yrs) has a train themed bedroom and this is a wonderful addition. I popped it in an inexpensive poster frame and it is and hung it lower on the wall so that he could look at it and practice his ABCs. I also left seller feedback but thought I would mention it here as well...Coilbrook was a great seller to work with. The original poster that was sent was damaged by USPS. I contacted Coilbook the day it arrived to let them know it had been damaged. A new one was put in the mail the same day and I received it two days later! Great seller!Read Best Reviews of Alphabet Train Poster, 36x24, Two Objects Per Letter! Here
This poster is a great addition to my 3-year-old nephew's bedroom. He can already identify most of the objects in the picture, and I really like how each letter has not one but two pictures that go with it. Great learning tool for any young child.Want Alphabet Train Poster, 36x24, Two Objects Per Letter! Discount?

Buy Super Mario Brothers Child's Deluxe Costume, Princess Peach Costume Now
I had to order this costume online since I couldn't find it in any stores. This is the first item I can honestly say I was extremely disappointed with that I have ordered from Amazon. The quality of this costume is aweful. The elastic in the sleeve had come apart so I had to re-sew it and then the crown's elastic came out as well so that needed to be sewn as well. Would NOT recommend it!Read Best Reviews of Super Mario Brothers Child's Deluxe Costume, Princess Peach Costume Here
This costume is absolutely adorable! Not sure what the other posts are talking about... the material is nice, it does NOT appear to be cheap in anyway. Size was very true to posted. Overall for less than $30.00 I am very pleased!Want Super Mario Brothers Child's Deluxe Costume, Princess Peach Costume Discount?
This costume is adorable on my 11 year old daughter. The crown is better and the dress sleeves are puffier than I expected. It appears to be fairly well made and even the gloves are very nice. The material was also easy to clean after my daughter spilled ketchup all down the front of it. I highly recommend this costume if your little girl wants to look like Princess Peach! I have a feeling it will see plenty of use after Halloween as well.Sunday, October 6, 2013

My baby girl loves this walker! It is quite the noisemaker but it is what she likes.

Price was great also.Tuesday, September 10, 2013

My toddler loves this toy. Although it's a crab, there is no finger-pinching (haha), and the noises it makes are clear without being too loud. The toy is very durable and can really take a beating. My son pounces the crab and tosses it around all the time, and it shows no signs of wear. Also, it's really cute and very animated.Read Best Reviews of Kidz Delight Push N Go Crab, Red/Yellow Here
