First time video review. Pretty happy with my script, but the camera work was shaky enough to attract attention from people wishing to make a Cloverfield sequel. Oh well.
Many good things about the Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn. It's a durable, safe, entertaining, educational toy. Highly recommended.
We bought this as our 9 month old son is "cruising" and seemed ready for a walker like this. He loves the Fisher Price Puppy and this seemed really cute, albeit pricey.
This puppy has a lot going on. There is the walker aspect, and when pushed puppy tilts his head and sings/says phrases. There is a little storage area with shapes and shape cut-outs on puppy's side. There are also buttons that make puppy speak or sing on his collar and on his nose. And finally there is the ride-on part for older children. There are several different settings for what you want puppy to say you can switch it to "educational" "imagination" etc. so it's a pretty good variety of sounds and phrasesyou can make puppy really interactive or not so much depending on your preference and your child's age.
Our son loves the puppythe first thing he does every morning is crawl over to press the nose which makes the puppy say various phrases. He hasn't quite figured out the three additional buttons on puppy's collar that also make puppy speak. Also, he doesn't get the shape sorting yet, but he likes to gnaw on the shapes ;)(Our kitten, on the other hand, loves to bat the shapes into and out of the puppy via the shape cut-outsit's ridiculous). He figured out he can stand up using the handle as leverage but has not been able to push puppy yet because it's quite stiff on our carpeting and requires more force to move than he can exert yet. I think this would be great for someone with hardwood floors concerned about toys moving too easily. Also, he has tried to stand using the handle as leverage from the side and puppy tips over on top of him. Never badly enough to harm him or even make him cry but it may be a consideration. In summary, I think (hope!) in a few months time this toy will get a lot of use, but right now our son isn't quite mature enough to appreciate it, aside from the big red nose button.
Edited to update: it only took a few weeks and baby boy got the hang of pushing puppy. It is his hands down favorite toy now. He pushes him up and down the hall with a huge grin as puppy sings to him. So cute!! That said, I still feel like I want to buy him another walker toy if i see one on sale because puppy is just so stiff and difficult to maneuver/navigate. My son almost has an easier time pushing the stand up table/piano/activity center that doesn't have even have wheels. (He's all about practicing walking using anything he can get his hands on now!) we've tried adjusting the tightness of the screws on the wheels on puppy but it doesn't help. Nevertheless, puppy is a very well loved toy in our house and I do not regret purchasing.

I gave this toy to my 2 1/2 year old niece. I didn't realize that it came unassembled, but her mom put it together in less than five minutes with a screw driver and the four to six screws included.
My niece was on the "doggy" and scooting around the house laughing at the doggie's head turning and music playing (or alphabet being sung). Three blocks are included and the puppy can "eat" them or the child can put them in the appropriate sized holes in the puppy's left side and then retrieve them from the opening on the right side.
The sounds are not overly loud, so this isn't going to be a nuisance for the parents.
The giggles and repeating what the doggie says proved to be delightful for the family gathered around.
I really knocked one out of the park with this birthday gift!

We bought this for our 9 month daughter and super excited about the activities it has. There are a few different modes, tons of songs and shapes to sort. It works to push and when the child is older to ride. It is very easy to build. Unfortunately we had to return the productit does not work on hardwood floors at all. The wheels do not spin making it dangerous since it just slides out fast when pushing. On carpet I think it would be an excellent toy but if you are planning to use on wood or tile then do not get it.
We chose the red flyer walker wagon instead, it works great on the hardwood and we LOVE it.

I got this for my 13 month old and she LOVES it! The design is great-the seat lifts up so she can push it as a walk behind, but it also drops down for a ride on toy. It sings LOTS of different songs (YAY-now mommy doesn't have to listen to same one tune over and over!) It also lights up, which she finds mesmerizing! It rolls easily. The only thing I'm not a huge fun of is the size. It's considerably larger than other ride on toys and because it's so wide, my little one cannot put her leg over it and get on by herself. I guess the good thing about that is it gives her something to grow into, but that also means it takes up a lot of space in the house. Overall, though, I LOVE the fisher price learning puppy line of toys and this one fits that VERY well and my daughter loves it!

I ordered this halloween costume for my 4.5 y.o., an avid Olivia the Pig fan. Although my expectations are never very high in terms of the quality of these types of purchases, even I was disappointed when this costume arrived. The shirt and jumper are one piece and not two (which is clearly indicated in the costume description and not a problem itself), but the jumper straps aren't even fastened to the front of the jumper. Instead the straps are sewn onto the shirt about an inch and a half above the top of the jumper. In addition, although we bought the small size, which is supposed to fit sizes 4-6, the elastic at the top of the leg warmers is too tight around my daughter's thighs. She is 39lb. and 42", and at the low range of size 5 for most clothes. I've noticed other websites offer a "deluxe" Olivia costume that has a seperate shirt and tights instead of leggings. I think we are going to give it a try, even though it's priced at about $40 and appears to be manufactured by the same company. I recommend anyone else looking for an Olivia costume do the same, rather than trying to save $10 like we did on this costume.
