Playmobil 1.2.3 Farmer W/ Tractor
Buy Playmobil 1.2.3 Farmer W/ Tractor Now
My 5 year old autistic son loves the playmobil 123 line. The tractor and trailer come apart and go together easily. And he loves the cow. Good buy for the money. My 2 year old daughter also enjoys the toy. My 5 year old is more into the advance playmobil...not this line.My 5 and 4 year old love Playmobil products, but I was also very hesitant to let my 2 year old play because of the small pieces. Even the figures have small pieces and accessories that are easily removed. I recently purchased this tractor, the mom and stroller, and the animal train and they've been a big hit with my 2 year old. She now has her own Playmobil and can play right alongside brother and sister. The pieces are large and have no small pieces to remove. They're perfect for small hands. I've even caught my older kids getting into the "baby" Playmobil bucket. While Playmobil products are pricier than some of the alternatives, I have no problem with the higher price tag as the quality is fantastic. These toys are definitely the kind of thing you can pass down to future generations.Our 2 year old grand daughter absolutely loves this set. We purchased it to along with the farm set she already has. She adores her grandpa and plays that she is with grandpa even though she is 1000 miles from us.Sunday, March 16, 2014
Hoppop Atto Ride On
Pros:
+ It's simple no batteries required. No annoying songs or sounds.
+ It's attractive mostly white with lime, dark blue, or dark pink.
+ The front wheels turn so it doesn't always go in a straight line not always the case with riding toys.
+ No paper or stickers she can chew off or that will dissolve in the rain if it's left outside.
+ Seems sturdy rated to 44 lbs. but I put all my weight (135) on it and it didn't seem to creak or bend.
+ Narrow between the wheels baby can walk while straddling it or sit on the seat and ride.
+ My kid, for one, is in LOVE with it.
+ Inexpensive, as riding toys go.
Cons:
Very lightweight baby girl, who is not yet walking, can't get on unless someone is stabilizing it.
Wheel base is narrow again, someone has to hold her while she walks/rides it or she's likely to fall over sideways (also a result of its weight).
No long handle for parent to use to stabilize I bend over to hold it while she rides. My back is killing me, but baby girl loves every second.
Reviews on other websites said the handlebars were too far away from the seat for their kids, but it's just right for mine (she's 31" tall at 12 months).
If this one breaks or is stolen or otherwise compromised, I'll be buying another one the same day.I bought this toy based mostly on the way it looks--It's a lot more stylish than your average ride-on. My two-and-a-half year old loves it and rides it around the house constantly. I got this toy for him when he was 18 months old and he's always liked it, but it's really only in the past few months that it has become a hands-down favorite. It's nice that it is lightweight, so he can carry it around the house himself. The only downside is that the seat is too far away from the handlebars (he just sits on the white bar in the middle). But all-in-all, I'm very satisfied with this toy and would recommend it to others.My 18 month old loved it from the minute it came out of the box. And it's sturdy enough for her 3 year old big sister to play with too!

Yomiko Yomiko Husky by Russ
She loves it! She set it on my dad's chair and I was told by her caregiver, in the beginning she just walked around the house carrying the Husky. She wouldn't be able to care for a real dog, so this furry little friend gave her the consolation without the burden.
With so many out there who are living much longer and on their own, I am surprised that there isn't more marketing geared towards them. This Husky isn't just a toy...it now has a name and has partially filled a void in a woman's heart.I bought this plush for my girlfriend. Her favorite breed of dog is siberian husky so this was perfect. She loved it and i got major points for it. It was very realistic and really soft. Definitely worth the money.

I bought it for a young friend to commemorate her Christmas dogsled ride, and she adored it immediately.Got this for my friend and it was so friggin soft and fluffy and nice.

Sassy Pop N Push Car
This reminds me of a toy made by a certain maker years ago (don't know if I can mention their name legally or not so I just won't) that was on a long stick and you walked behind it and it had bigger balls inside that popped...like a popcorn maker!
Cute toy, highly recommend.This is a very simple toy for a crawling infant to use. No parts, no blocks, no switches, just push it and watch the balls pop. Sometimes that's all they want -no bells and whistles.

Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. It was a good price and serves its purpose.I was only unhappy with the size of the car. I did not read the dimensions before purchasing so I did not realize how small the car was. It's about the size of a softball. I was thinking it was going to be about the size of a soccer ball. Because of the smaller size the balls inside are rather small and dont really catch my daughter's attention like I thought it would. But, it was my fault for not reading the dimensions.
I was, however, pleasantly surprised at the fact that it will propel itself after being pulled backward. I was not aware of that feature and was happy when I found that out.Granted my daughter is only 6 months old now and cannot play with this toy yet but my husband and I can! This car will go FOREVER depending on how far you wind it back and how much free space you give it. On the rug (depends on the type/thickness), hardwood, or tile you will get this car to go! Lots of fun.

Child's Costume, Bumblebee Tutu Costume
If you are looking at this costume though, here are some negatives:
*The back of the costume has one velcro closure at the top and the child's back is exposed for about six or so inches through a slit.
*The wings don't stay back; they flop forward
*The headband itself is fairly flimsy and does not grip the child's head well
*The feather stuff on the antennae, skirt and shoes sheds heavily.
*The little shoe fluffs don't stay on.
The costume is super cute. I got this one and the Lady Bug one by the same manufacturer for Halloween pictures. The sizes appear to run a little small for the costume. The tights seem to run true to size. We have not taken it out on any candy collecting runs, so I can't tell you how it will hold up at a party or for two or three hours of trick or treating.I bought a size 4-6T / child's small for my two year old. It was way too small. She would have needed a child's large for the sleeves and chest to fit correctly. Adorable costume though!

We got this for my daughter's Halloween costume. It is made really shoddy for the money. Right out of the packaging, the material around the wings was fraying and coming off. The wings were also so bent in places and nothing I did could straighten them out. This outfit also runs very small. It says it fits a 2-3 year old, and my 16 month old BARELY fit into it...and she's tall but skinny for her age. This was really cute on, and fine for 1 night, but this was nothing special for the price ($29.99).Read Best Reviews of Child's Costume, Bumblebee Tutu Costume Here
This costume was in no way a standard child size 4. It did not close in the back. It was cute well enough made for a halloween costume, and she looked adorable but sizing was way off.This costume is adorable, but too small I ordered the small (4-6) for my very slim two year old, and it barely closes.Saturday, January 4, 2014
Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Counting Animal Friends Book
Buy Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Counting Animal Friends Book Now
I bought this to take on a airplane flight to keep my daughter busy. It is just okay. Very durable. It only has a few pages and doesn't say alot. But for the price, I guess it's worth it. I would probably buy it again, but it's not a special toy.Read Best Reviews of Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Counting Animal Friends Book Here
When we saw this online, I didn't look very closely on how the function would be. We bought this for our 2 yr. old son and he will play w/the button but you have to push the button 2 or 3 times for 1 page and it becomes boring to him. He will pick it up every once in a while and play but I wouldn't have purchased it in the store after I was able to see it's function.It was just ok for him!
The good things are that the sound is very clear and loud enough for a child. If your child will allow for you to read it to them, this will be a great item for you. Our 2 year old is too independant and will bring only the books he wants for us to read to him.
Want Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Counting Animal Friends Book Discount?
I reviewed the other FP Laugh & Learn book earlier, and I'll say the same about this one:This is a great book for small babies to older children! The story is really cute and the songs engage the children...it incorporates the animals and numbers into the story and songs. The sun button is enticing to push and lights up when the book is talking or singing.
It has a switch on it to turn the volume to two different settings or to turn it off to save batteries (or so you can pack it to take with you while traveling). This has gone with us several places and still looks new! She's had this book for months and still loves it.
My niece who is 4 actually likes the book too especially because it's something she can "read" to the baby.
The only downside is that there is only a couple pages so the story is short.

Lil Bat Infant Costume
Cons:
The shoes kept falling off my baby's feet so I just kept them off. This wasn't enough for me to drop a star, however, because it was such a cute and convenient costume on my baby.
Pros:
The cape was very easy to put on my baby. It only took a few seconds.
It didn't itch my baby.
Every time my baby lifted her arms, the wings spread out -too cute!
It was a great fit for my 3-month-old baby but there was still room to grow. An older baby could wear the cape.
It was really adorable on my baby girl!
I think the current price ($11-something), is a good deal. I bought it for $20-something last year, but thought it was worth it then.

I bought this for my friend's baby for Halloween. It looked so cute on the baby. Of course even in southern California it can still be a little cold on a Halloween evening and this costume doesn't cover the arms or legs. So we got her some warm tights and leggings and a warm long sleeve undershirt. It was great, the costume fit over her clothes fine. It was true to size and I liked the quality of the materials. It was totally worth what I paid. I would buy more costumes in the future.Read Best Reviews of Lil Bat Infant Costume Here
My baby was 3 months when he wore this for Halloween and it was a big hit! Everyone thought he was adorable! He seemed totally comfortable in the cape. He wore the costume for several different events and had no trouble keeping it on the whole time.The only reason it lost a star is because I wish it came with the onesie to wear underneath. It's hard to find anything solid colored with no images for babies. It took a lot of searching but I finally found a long-sleeved purple one at H&M. I also used some black tights from Target, because it's chilly where I live.
The hands and feets stayed on surprisingly well.Cute, good for the price, everyone said my daughter was adorable. It could be a little better quality but I have no real complaints, since the price is good and it is just a costume afterall.

Frog Wooden Book (Discontinued)
My son is only 22 mo. old, so I like to sit with him and let him practice putting the frog's head where he would like and then we tell stories of the froggie hopping from page to page, scene to scene. My son is a bit young to keep his attention for long, but it's well worth the time he does spend using his imagination and coordination skills.
It is a wonderful quiet play book as well, so it's perfect for sitting through church services or waiting at the Dr.'s office. It is a perfect size to fit nicely in the diaper bag or even my purse.

Rovio Angry Birds Red Bird Toddler Costume
Buy Rovio Angry Birds Red Bird Toddler Costume Now
My little guy just loves angry birds, so he just loved that he can now dress up as one! He is having so much fun with this!Read Best Reviews of Rovio Angry Birds Red Bird Toddler Costume Here
My son really wanted to be an angry bird for halloween. The other style of costumes were too large for him so I settled on this one. Boy am I glad that I did. The costume itself was cute. The little "feathers" on the top stood up nicely and the foam body stayed pretty solid so you could tell what he was supposed to be. This costume is one solid piece with the hood and long sleeves being attached to the body of the costume. The only problem that we had is that it was a little hard to get on and off. The face/hood opening was a little small and the sleeves seemed a little small too. There is no way he could wear this next year so this was a one time deal. Still, he wore it to school and was one of the few birds out there. His costume was better than the bigger sized ones that are like oversized circles that just fall flat. I even heard a kid wearing that style of bird costume say "man his costume is better than mine". Everyone thought he looked adorable (and he did) and most importantly he was happy.This is a nice costume, there is some additional padding so it is not the super thin material that costumes are sometimes made out of. The 3T/4T fits my 4 year old son perfectly, but I imagine if your child was heavier the sleeves might be a little tight.Friday, August 23, 2013
Early Years Pinwheel Stroll Along Toy
This pinwheel is very colorful, and spins easily with a light push or swat from my 7 months old (we've had it since he was approx. 3 months old). The "leaves" crinkle, and the "blossom" has little colorful plastic beads in it, so that every push sends them spinning around, creating a rattling sound. There are also 2 stars around the "petal", that baby can move up and down.
When my baby was 5 mo old, he would just grab for the wheel and try to put it into his mouth. Now that he's a few months older, he purposefully swings at it, and has a blast when he sees it spin. This is a great toy that keeps my little one entertained during stroller outings. (I also have the Selecta Mia Mah sheep and Pia Iah Donkey, which my baby loves just as much).
Overall: Great buy, especially for the price a fantastic deal! I have gotten so many compliments on this toy. My husband just wishes it was a little bit more "boyish" (he feels something along the lines of a steering wheel would be more appropriate needless to say I love it the way it is!). But even he will make sure to take the pinwheel on outings, since baby loves it so much!
Btw: This also fits around the bars of a baby activity gym for baby to swat at.

Before you buy this product, make sure that there's a bar going across the seat in front of your child. This toy is designed to wrap around a teeny tiny bar, and I don't even know if they make strollers like that anymore. We have three strollers for one child, made by three different companies, and this toy doesn't work on any of them. I'm still trying to figure out where I can use this toy.Read Best Reviews of Early Years Pinwheel Stroll Along Toy Here
This pinwheel is really colorful and cute. It spins easily when my 8 month old son plays with it and he likes the beads around the stem. We have a Chicco Cortina stroller and the pinwheel does not fit on it correctly, so my husband squeezed the pinwheel into the stroller tray joint to strap it on. The attachment is not ideal, but seems to be working okay.My 4-month old daughter loves this pinwheel. It's soft, has no sharp edges, and keeps her entertained in her car seat for 20-30 minutes at a time. The bottom straps actually come in very handy at times -I've secured it to the handle of the car seat when it's in the carrier position, which is perfect when sitting in a restaurant booth, to let the pinwheel spin. She grasps the stem very easily and loves to gum the leaves of it. Nice small rattling sound from the center of the pinwheel as well.Wednesday, August 7, 2013
LeapFrog Learning Band™ Walker
Buy LeapFrog Learning Band™ Walker Now
This walker is great. We bought this for my 10 month old son, who showed NO interest in walking at all. Within 3 weeks of using the walker, he was walking on his own. My only complaints are: 1. The handle could be adjustable to allow for growth. I have tall boys and they have to lean over to grab the handle. 2. Also, if you put any pressure on the drum, it moves off the spinning wheel and won't turn. Try to explain to a baby that he can't push on it... it doesn't exactly work. Other than that, it has fun activities and the boys love it, even now that they walk well.Read Best Reviews of LeapFrog Learning Band™ Walker Here
After not enjoying the Gobble & Go Hippo by FP, we decided to see if Leap Frog had a walker... sure enough. And we really like it. Sure, the songs can be repetitive, but really, what child toy doesn't have this distinction? This walker is fantastic because it's sturdy enough for our growing young one to pull himself up on... and he can easily push it whichever way he wants, the toy is constructed so that he doesn't HAVE to use the red handle if he doesn't want to.You'll want to carefully supervise your young one at first as the toy can go a little quick for learning walkers. After a few hours of play though they'll get the hang of it.
And yes, sometimes the toy will suddenly start playing the song for some reason without being pushed.
But overall, a great educational toy from LeapFrog once again.

I don't know why anyone would give this walker a bad review!My son received this as a christmas gift when he was only four months old. I forgot I had it until he was 10 1/2 months old. I put it together for him and within days he was walking on his own! He still loves to push it around even though he can walk without it:)
The volume has two different levels, which is a huge difference between the two:) It is very sturdy even for those who are just beginning to walk. I would have bought this if I didn't receive it as a gift. I highly recommend this item for any child!
