Mary Meyer Sweet Rascals, Marlon Moose, 9"

This little moose was bought to replace a much loved soft toy which had been lost. As soon as he arrived he filled that hole in a small boy's heart and he hasn't missed a bedtime since. Very soft and, most importantly, easy to carry around (grab him around the neck), the moose has become the favourite toy.

Bought this for my older sister since she loves moose! She always calls her son moose because of his sad droopy look LMAO. This is to remind her of her moose at all times. It is soft, cuddly. I want one for myself!

Wonderful little moose. I bought it for my partner for Christmas. It is small/compact and can fit in his cabinet on his ship (he's in the navy)

The animal is high quality, and adorable. Super cute. I'm not 100% thrilled that there are beans in the bottoms of the feet, but it's too cute to pass up.

I bought this moose for my 10 1/2 month old daughter to go along with the book, if you give a moose a muffin for Christmas, because I just love moose. Both will have to be put up till she is older, because the book was not a hard book and the moose has button eyes, but I am rating this moose high, because it is so darn cute and soft and lovable. I can't wait to put it up on the shelf in her room and get it down when, she is a bit older.

Robin's Egg Blue Fluffy Decorations (3)

These fluffy decorations look beautiful, but were very frustrating and tedious to put together. Probably better for a craftier person.

Came with clear instructions. The product was easy to assemble and got just what was expected. They are light weight and look great in our nursery. I wish they were made of something more durable than tissue paper.

Melissa & Doug Toolbox Fill and Spill

2 granddaughters + 2 tool kits = two happy granddaughters.

I can't really rate the educational value until I see them framing a door or building a deck.

Melissa and Doug's Fill and Spill toolbox is a huge hit with both my granddaughter and grandson, 18 and 20 months of age, respectively. While the vibrating "power" drill was intriguing, they also enjoy "sawing" the Velcro-attached wood blocks apart and the other tools, too. I was very happy to find a safe and fun set of tools for young toddlers.

Buy Melissa & Doug Toolbox Fill and Spill Now

My son got this for his 1 year birthday. His favorite pieces are the screwdriver, saw and nails/screws. He will crawl around with them in his mouth and chew on the hard ends on the screwdriver and saw. My only concern is that the red die in the screw driver started to run and leak when he was drooling on the handle so I had to take it away.

We got this for my son's first birthday. The first kit had a drill that was broken (it didn't vibrate like it was supposed to), so we exchanged it for a second. My son LOVES to play with and chew on the various tools. The saw, hammer, ad screw driver are soft enough that he can play with them without our worries, but have a firm shape. He giggles every time we "screw in a screw" on his knee. He also loves the vibrating drill.

I bought this for my grandson last Christmas, just before he turned 2. The tools are soft and he could not get hurt on them. But he is way past the baby tools now. At 3 years old I would aim for the ones that are still plastic but are more realistic looking, with some functionality.

VTech - Animal Friends Toddler Laptop

I purchased this laptop as an educational toy for my 20 month old son. I was looking forward to a beginner laptop-type of toy, since he loves computers. I was terribly disappointed when I got the laptop. It is VERY boring it makes the same annoying sound over and over again, and there is nothing engaging about the toy. It has 10 keys with little tiny animals on them that are so small that toddlers don't even recognize the animals. The only "objective" of the activity on the laptop is to watch a panda move around (very boring) and listen to a voice tell you that you just pushed the star, circle, and heart. There is a "game" in which the child is to push the (tiny) animal key and the screen displays the animal and counts up to the number on the key. However, it is done in a very slow, boring manner and cannot hold my son's attention at all. There is nothing fun about it at all, or educational. In between parts of the activities there is just quiet background music and nothing to do. My son has no interest in this toy because there is nothing at all to interest him in it. It is NOTHING like a beginner computer or laptop. The "mouse" on the right side just moves back and forth with really no purpose at all. The knob on the left just makes the panda move faster or slower and makes the music speed up and slow down. The screen on the laptop is so small that young children barely even notice it. My son doesn't seem to understand that the screen has anything to do with the buttons he is pushing, since it is so incredibly small.

I strongly suggest skipping this laptop and going straight to a more advanced one, such as one for a 3 or 4 year old. I regret very much that I didn't know enough to do this. This laptop will not teach your child how to use a computer and is in no way similar to a laptop computer. My 4 and 6 year old nieces have more realistic laptop computers designed for slightly older children, and my son just LOVES using these.

Please save your money! This is a very boring, useless toy. I hope I can save someone else from wasting their money on this.

We have had this laptop for about a year and a half and it has held up quite well. There is a molded elephant face on the lid when you close it and it is probably the cutest toy vtech makes. It has adorable animal graphics on screen as well as the Panda face that surrounds the screen itself. When the the child does not push a button for a while you see two large Panda eyes open, close, and wink on the screen instead, too cute! It introduces three shapes, three colors, ten different animals and numbers up to ten. It plays soothing music that is not very loud or irritating like many toys for this age group. There are fun games where the female or child-sounding computer voice asks for you to find a particular animal or shape and to press the right corresponding key. An easy to use paw-shaped mouse is used to help the animals catch a ball with your child's help. We bought it for our youngest daughter whom we nicknamed Panda and it tied in with a Panda birthday theme we did that year as well. She and her four year old sister still like the toy and play with it often. I definitely would purchase again!

I was so excited to get this for my son however when it arrived I was disappointed to find the screen is about 2"x2". You can barely see it. My son loves my computer so I was hoping to get him something that he would enjoy. Not so much.

Hoppop Atto Ride On

I spent hours researching what to buy for my one-year-old daughter's first riding/pushing toy. I came across this one rather accidentally in a store and couldn't find any reviews online, but I bought it anyway because it was a good price and I liked the simplicity. Now, I love it. And baby girl giggles when she spots it across the room and races toward it.

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.

First Friends Boy

We picked this up at a local store my son loves moving the arms / head / legs because they go "click click" with each move. I feel he's also learned to move the parts in different directions (legs / arms go up-down, head twists around). The button on the chest is hard for him to press, but he becomes very excited to hear it beep when someone else presses on it. He's thrown it around plenty of times, and it's still held together. It's easy to clean, so I usually give it to him when it's meal time. Love it.

Holgate Bingo Bed

This toy is a classic in our household! We searched for good USA made wooden toys. Thank you for bringing back this classic. A lifetime loyal fan and customer for life

Time honored traditional toys are most often a good choice. This toy was well enough made to repackage and save for the next generation. The materials appeared to be safe for my one year old granddaughter.

I like the wood and the quality of this piece, however you practically need a real hammer to get some of the pegs in. Maybe they will loosen over time, but out of the box I could get only one peg to hammer down flush. Currently it's impossible for my son to hammer any of them even a few centimeters, luckily all he cares about is the noise right now.

I bought this toy for our 2 year old grandson and 10 month old twins. Previously, I had purchased the Melissa and Doug pounding toy. In that version, the pegs were easily removed and lost the first morning. The pegs on this toy are snug. The only negative is that the noise might drive you nuts, but that doesn't bother the kids. :-)

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Costume, Child's Hedwig The Owl Costume

I was very impressed with the quality of this costume. It didn't look or feel cheap at all. In fact it was very soft. My son (15 months old) thought it was a stuffed animal and enjoyed simply carrying it around the house, hugging it. I marked this costume highly on educational value because once we put it on my son, he began hooting like an owl which he hadn't done before. So in a way, it made him put a face to a word, so to speak. One of the reasons I chose this costume is because I knew it would keep my son warm on a cold, New England Halloween. And it did.

I bought this for my two year old to wear for Halloween as a sidekick to his sister's Harry Potter costume. It's absolutely darling! He was an average size two year old and it fit well with plenty of growing room. In fact, he wore it again for Halloween when he was three and it might even fit him again next year.

Manhattan Toy Soft Activity Book with Tethered Toy

I bought this book for my 3 month old and he has enjoyed playing with it throughout the different stages of his development for 5 months now. At first, he just liked gumming it, then he noticed shapes/animals, then he loved the bee, then he started to grab the butterfly wings and snake, etc that jump off the pages...it has been a great source of exploration and entertainment for us both!

Lovely book with so much to see and touch! Our six month old loves it and can play with it for 8 or 10 minutes. There is always more to explore. I just wish that I could drop it in the washing machine. If I could, it would be the perfect toy! Still: a good purchase and I would recommend it.

I make buzzing noises as the bee goes through the book and she just giggles like crazy!

I bought this in November to keep my then 9 month old daughter entertained while on an airplane. She liked it ok and played with it a little, but it didn't hold her attention at all (still doesn't 2 months later). It's a cute rhyming story and I like that each page has moving pieces to play with or suck on, but it's nothing special and doesn't warrant the enormous price tag just for a cloth book. It costs twice as much as other books and is NOT twice as good. I would give 4 stars if it were under ten dollars.

our 8 month old baby loves this book. each page has a slot to put the bone that's attached to the string, unlike other books like this that only include inserts on some of the pages. it's made with good quality stitching and thick fabrics for the pages. when you turn the book around and open it up it turns into the full dog with a tail that's attached to the book like the head. it's very cute and i think she'll enjoy this book for a long time. this is the 5th product we've bought by "manhatten toy" company and every one of them are 5 stars.

***UPDATE***

we've had this book for 10 mos now and she still enjoys reading it and doesn't look very worn at all. this is a great buy and i highly recommend it and any other of this company's activity books.

Bunnies by the Bay 15" Lullaby Crib Toy

We received the pink bunny and brown bear as shower gifts for our twins. These toys are made from wonderful, soft material and the bunny has lovely, silky ears. They each have a ribbon attached to their head/neck so that you can tie them to the crib rail when your babies are newborns so as not to introduce any additional suffocation risk. When you stretch them, they play a lullaby that is actually in tune and pleasant to listen to. Ever since they were 4 or 5 months old, we started letting the twins snuggle up to the toys rather than having them tied to the side of the crib. We lay them down, play the lullaby, and the twins fall asleep hugging them. My daughter loves to play with the bunnies silky ears while laying quietly, half asleep. The only reason I give these lovely toys 4 stars and not 5 is because they are surface washable only, which I consider a negative for any baby item. I often ignore the label on other toys and toss them in the wash anyway, but I suspect the music box in these would not survive such treatment.

Petitcollin Dodo Petit Calin Ecolo Doll with Carrying Bag Organic Cotton 11" First Baby Doll Soft C

This is a sweet doll my three year old daughter adores. She loves the carrying/sleep bag, the size of doll and the gentle fragrance. I love that it is as non toxic a doll as I could find, made with organic cotton and phtalate and lead free vinyl and lightly scented (which I who has many allergies, don't react to). We love it!

GUND - Mini Pro Grabbies - Football Rattle

My son loves his football rattle and could carry it around for hours. The only downside is that I see signs of fraying on the ends and know this toy won't last much longer.

Fisher Price Baby's First Silver Rattle Teether Gift Set

I liked the concept of the basic baby rattle, but the instructions on the box for washing are wrong. They are "Before first use and after each use, wash with hot soapy water, then rinse." I was wary of submerging them, as they didn't appear watertight, but didn't want to give them to my daughter without washing them. I used a soapy dishcloth to wipe them and then rinsed them in running water; sure enough, water was stuck between the clear plastic covers and the silver rattle parts. There's no way to separate the layers get the water out, and I'm assuming there will be mold eventually (I washed them a week ago and they are still wet inside). Not sure if they designed them to be just wiped with a damp cloth like most other toys and the instructions were wrong or if the company thought they were waterproof but didn't test them.

I talked to customer service through the chat on their website; they were quick to offer a voucher for the amount of the purchase price, but its only good in retail stores, not online. They didn't really seem to be concerned with the problem; they said they hadn't heard of it before with this product. Sounded like a canned line, but it is a newer product, so it is possible. It would be a great product if they were waterproof, but I either had a customer service rep who didn't care, or they know all about the problem and have been instructed to pay out immediately. I guess I'll follow my instinct next time and wipe with a damp cloth.

My three-month old son received these as a gift. I thought they were really cute and funny. Before I opened the box, I was worried about the silver-colored coating chipping off when he sucked on them, but it turns out that there is a clear plastic casing over the "silver" part, so that is not a concern.

The problem is that the clear plastic casing is not water-tight. On the box, it says, "Before first use and after each use, wash with hot soapy water and rinse." Since my son sucks on everything, I went ahead and washed them. The soapy water went between the clear plastic and the shiny plastic and you could still see little bubbles of soap in there even after I rinsed them. I let them dry for a while after washing them (but, since the water is trapped in there, I'm not sure whether it's possible for them to dry all the way) and let my son play with them, but I was still worried about the possibility of there being soapy water in there. They seem alright for now, but I also think it's possible that they'll get mildewy if they don't dry out. I've only had them for a day now and I'm washing them and drying them again -I'll have to wait and see how long it takes them to dry out and how long the rattles last.

Basically, these are a cute gift, but I would consider them more of a novelty than a really workable toy. My son enjoyed playing with them and sucking on them, but that will only make them need to be cleaned again. Fisher Price needs to work on making the casing water-tight -then they would be a great toy!

Chicco Stacking Tulips Bee Set

I stumbled upon this toy at a local store and bought it for my eleven month old daughter. She's has a cheaper, plastic nesting/stacking set that isn't quite as nice and I thought she'd like this one. I like how durable the plastic is, but yet lightweight enough that she can easily handle the cups. The bright colors are nice and the cups are durable enough for multiple usesin the tub, the sandbox, etc. I think she'll be enjoying these for years to come. Great toy for little hands!

Noodle Head Travel Buddies Pink Hippo

When I received this product it was missing the mini travel buddy that goes with neck pillow. When I contacted the seller I was informed that the company no longer makes them. They said they would look to see if they had one. I responded that it did not have to be a hippo and that I would take any substitution since I already paid for it. Several weeks went by with no response. I contacted them again and expressed my disappointment to their lack of action. About a week later I recieved a bear buddy. The product is fine but I was very disppointed with the seller. If they knew the product was no longer being made it should have been removed.

I just read the review on the hippo buddy. I have to say I have had the exact opposite experience with the company. When I called them, I was taken care of and got exactly what I wanted. And it is the only neck pillow my kids play with when they are not using it. Great idea and so soft to touch.
