Silly Safari Costume, Turtle Costume

Silly Safari Costume, Turtle Costume, SmallWell made and absolutely adorable!!!

My 3 year old son had a blast trick or treating on Halloween and, I'm sure, will continue to wear throughout the year (as a play costume/dress up clothes).

This is an adorable costume. It's high quality and looks to be very durable. Only problem we had was my toddler refused to wear it. The shell is heavy enough it tugs on the neck, and the headpiece is great, but the elastic around the face can be a bit irritating. If your child isn't picky about stuff like that, go for it. I loved it for the 5-10 minutes he would actually wear it :)

I am really rating my experience with Amazon on this transaction and the quality of RUBIES costumes. We were unable to use the costume yet (see below) but it looks cute!

Just received the costume from Amazon and it was MISSING the entire head piece. It was clear that the packaging had been opened so who knows where it is? There was not even an invoice or packing slip included in the box to enable me to return it easily, so I had to go back online and figure out how to print it all. Really Amazon? Could someone at least LOOK at the product and box before you mailed it out? Also, we ordered the TODDLER size for my almost 3 year old. He wears a 2 or 3T in clothing, and the Toddler size says it fits sizes 2-4??? It was WAY too small. We are taking a chance and reordering the SMALL size and HOPEFULLY it will contain all pieces. We had a similiar issue with a Star Wars costume we ordered from another company that was also made by RUBIES. The helmet was really messed up and POOR POOR quality for the price and basically not usable. Overall, I am not impressed with this costume company either.

My First Camera Baby Toy

My First Camera Baby ToyMy daughter loves this, but not because she likes playing with cameras. Its just because it plays sounds and songs when she hits the buttons. When she hits the shutter button, there is a little picture on the back of a face that changes from happy to sad to laughing, etc. The red piece that has a 1-2-3 on it does light up when you hit the shutter button. Its not to loud nor too quiet. I guess you could say it is just right on the volume. It is made from fairly sturdy plastic. My daughter has dragged this thing everywhere and it still looks brand new.

the guy I bought this for is a 30 year old surgery resident who is really in to cameras and photography. He thought it was hilarious

Corolle Babicorolle Pillow Soft 11" Babipouce Doll (Sorbet)

Corolle Babicorolle Pillow Soft 11' Babipouce DollCute baby doll, very soft and has fun things for baby to grab. Smells kind of like vanilla, which is ok I suppose, but it makes me wonder what chemical they sprayed on the fabric to make it smell like that?

This is such an adorable, soft, cuddly, and nice-smelling doll! My daughter is now 13 months (she got it for Christmas at 11 months old) and she's not a huge doll girl yet but when you hand it to her, she'll give it a big hug. We can keep it in her crib without worrying about her pulling off the clothes or accessories because everything is sewn on. We haven't machine washed it yet but it's reassuring to know that we can if she really starts to play with it and carry it around everywhere. I think this is a great starter doll because you can't play dress up or anything that older girls will want to do with their dolls. The clothes don't come off and the Corolle accessories (bottles, diapers, snacks, strollers, etc) are geared to the other Corelle dolls, not this one. But for a baby, this is perfect.

We purchased this doll for our daughter's first birthday after looking around stores and the internet. This doll is so cute and sweet. Our daughter just LOVES this doll (and so do we). She hugs her all the time and keeps her close by. The doll is so soft and just the right size for our young daughter to hold. The vanilla scent is a great touch also. The quality of this doll is excellent and it has exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend this doll!!

Infantino Car Seat Buddies

Infantino Car Seat BuddiesI revceived this item as a baby shower gift. My baby used it for about a month and seemed to really enjoy it. After one month of use the portion that lights up and makes music quit working. The ends still spin, but she is no longer interested. I emailed the company re: my problem and am waiting to hear back. I will update my review if they respond.

I rated this item three stars because I really enjoyed the product but it didn't work for very long.

January 11, 2013 Two months later and absolutely no response from the company. Buy at your own risk.

This is a great looking toy and I wish I didn't have to return it but when you press the dog's nose for music, nothing happens and you can hear a whirring sound like it's trying to work. Sad, because I'd love to attach this to his car seat!!

The idea of the toy is good and the music does keep my baby entertained however, the toy wraps on to the car seat handle and it's really close to his face. I am not sure if bothers him or not but I do see that his eyes cross at times... I didn't return it because it would cost me $5 and it only cost $10 to purchase...

My child hate the car seat. Keeps her attention and the middle dog thing plays music when you touch the nose. It's a button...didn't know. My 2 year old zoomed right to it and pushed it before I could even get it out of the box. So apparently 2 year olds like it too.

Schylling Ugly Doll Jack in the Box

Schylling Ugly Doll Jack in the BoxI think the reason why other reviewers are having issues with this not going pop has more to do with the Ugly Doll's ears than the popping mechanism. We haven't had any issues with it going pop when Mom puts the Ugly Doll back in just so. But it doesn't always go pop when Dad or toddler (two-years-old) do it because they tend to cram it in.

Made well and cool alternative to the traditional jack-in-the-box (clowns are creepy!).

One less star because Mom always has to help.

Thought it was cute looking & well made on the outside but every time we turned the handle, music played but it would never pop. The doll was constantly getting stuck. Shame, I will be returning for refund. But thank you to Amazon for making their return process so easy!!! Got give it a couple stars for that.

TrendyKid Trunki, Frieda Limited Edition Cow

TrendyKid Trunki, Frieda Limited Edition Cowthis suitcase is adorable and we will use it as a carry on but it is too small to hold much. seems like it will be good for entertainment at the airport though.

This is our second Trunki. I could not resist the cow. My children 3 and 6, love them. They are very sturdy and ideal for a child's carry on. We get so many comments in the security lines! My daughter loves to ride on it and pull it. It stays surprisingly upright and is perfectly sized for a carry on. Our first one is still in perfect shape after many trips and play at home, but the cow was too cute to pass up.

Lansinoh mOmma Teether, Jack the Seal

Lansinoh mOmma Teether, Jack the SealI bought this teether along with the penguin one and my baby loves both of them. It's easy for her to grip, and she likes to teeth on "the arms". She also likes shaking it and hearing the water move around. They are so cute too!

Mostly he likes to throw it around. It chills well in the fridge and has held up to some abuse, but my 9 months old son still doesn't "get" how to use this teether ... we'll keep trying.

Pop Up Fire Truck

Pop Up Fire TruckBought for my Grandson, absolutely love this, has so much fun popping the sticks up. His favorite toy right now.

The toy is well constructed but I was somewhat disappointed with it. The disappointment stems from my misreading of the description of how the toy operates. I thought the people moved up and down as the toy was pushed but they remain stationary. The "pop up action" occurs only when the child holds the people down, then lets go. However, my sixteenmonth old and three-year-old grandsons seem to like the toy.

Great toy but might lose parts as they come off altogether. Love the non toxic paint and weight of the toy

This toy is adorable, incredibly well made and my 14 month old son LOVES it! We have so many toys and every morning when he wakes up, this is the first toy he goes running for! He is learning how to push them so they pop out and and loves placing them back in the fire truck. I highly recommend this toy!!

My 14 month old got this from Santa and he is in love with it. He carries the little people around with him and thinks it is SO funny when they get popped. It seems durable enough, the only concern I have is it looks like the paint isn't that durable.

I am also disappointed that is made in China, but I didn't think to look when I was ordering. I'm just a little skeptical on China's paint quality control...It's not a deal breaker, and it's my fault for not looking.

Hoppop Atto Ride On

Hoppop Atto Ride On, LimeI 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.

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!

First Friends Boy

First Friends BoyWe 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.

Rolling Giggle Bird

Rolling Giggle BirdThis toy is great. Since discovering it more than 5 years ago, I have bought one as a gift every time someone I know has a baby. They always love it. Good for babies & I couldn't stop playing with it, myself! It is so much fun & a great gift.

This bird makes a fantastic baby toy. Kids get the auditory stimulation from the chirpy sound it makes and the crinkly wings. The wings give babies something to suck on and hold onto as well. It's soft so you don't have to worry that they'll hurt themselves. Great baby shower present too!

Edushape Mini Stars, 36 Piece set

Edushape Mini Stars, 36 Piece setMy son originally had the large size stars, but couldn't make much of anything with them because you only got 16 (by the way, the current product photo is of the large stars where you got 4 of each color in the package). When we received the mini-stars today I was disappointed. While they are small and easy for him to put together, the plastic isn't as rigid as the large stars, so they don't grip onto each other as well. We made a very simple crown and neither of my kids could put it on without it falling apart in their hands. I tried myself and they just wouldn't stick together if not resting on a solid surface. And even then (on a solid surface) once you start to build up, pressure on the lower part of the structure and the softer plastic just has the whole thing crashing in. I am pretty disappointed, but I'm sure my son will keep trying.

Just wanted people to be aware these were known to break apart and potentially be a choking hazard.

I'm sure newer versions have been modified, but buyer beware in case they are selling older versions.

My sons playcare center has these stars, and many times when I come to pick him up he's playing with them. He always hates to leave them so I searched the net for them. These were a great price and they come in a nice plastic zip case for easy storage.

My boy is 3 and he was so excited when they came in. Now he can play with them whenever he wants! They're also handy to use for teaching colors or counting with them!

Rubie's Costume Baby Bunting Vanilla Bunny Costume

Noahs Ark Vanilla Bunny Infant Halloween Costume Size 12-18mo.So I chose this particular costume link/seller because they had the best price on the market. And believe me, I do tons and tons of research before I buy anything online. I ordered this last week, arrived shortly after order. Shipping time is great. This is a rabbit/bunny costume, but not the exact costume pictured. The packaging (internal) that the costume comes in is correct for the costume pictured. But the costume itself? Not so much. Something's fishy here...and it's on the part of the seller. It's very similar, but not quite. A cheap copy at best. It's not horrible, but it's not the one I intended to buy. Here's what tipped me off: When I opened the large envelope it came in, the internal packaging was a plastic bag taped over(now normally when these costumes are bought in stores, there's a different plastic packaging. And not only that, there's a hanger. This one did not come with a hanger. The packaging insert/display cover was damaged, and folded. It had a slot where the hanger should be, and yet there was no hanger. And the costume was obviously just thrown in there. The materials aren't the same, though close. The "bowtie" is a different pattern and texture all together, and it's not "3D" like it shows, but a cheap polyester "ribbon" tied into a bow and sewn on with a few messy stitches. Another obvious clue to it's "counterfeit" nature is the feet. the "paws" are completely different from the picture as well. Though, to my surprise after figuring out it was a "fake", better than the original. There's grip bumps and the pads are sewn in.

So all in all, a decent knockoff. But I gave it such a low scoring since it's an obvious fake, which is why it's at half price from other sellers. I recommend going for one of the more expensive ones unless you just don't care. I am a bit over the normal level of OCD, therefore I am a bit miffed. If you don't care, by all means get this one. It's not absolutely terrible, though I will be making a separate inner lining for the costume, the material to me seems it would bother an infant's delicate skin.

The material is horrible. Every time you touch it you'll have it on you. It's not hair, it's like this thin thread and it's horrible to clean up. It was such a nice costume and she loves her carrot, but the material makes this a horrible purchase.

Moover Wooden Baby Walker with Shock Absorbing Rubber Wheels, in Red

Moover Wooden Baby Walker with Shock Absorbing Rubber Wheels, in RedI have been meaning to write this review for a couple of months. This is an amazing walker. I did extensive research on walkers and was looking for something that didn't make noise, was able to be used a "cart," and had adjustable tension for early walkers, but could be loosened up later as my daughter became more skilled.

This toy fully met all of my expectations, and putting it together was a snap (no tools!). I love the rubber on the wheels; it is saving my walls since the cart is rammed into things 100x/day. This is by far my daughter's favorite toy. We weighted it down with a couple of coffee table so that it wouldn't scoot away from her when she was just learning to pull up, but we took those off after a few weeks and now she can get off to a great start without a problem.

The only drawback to this cart is that my now 11-month old has trouble steering it / changing direction. She goes careening into walls and furniture at full speed (laughing like it is going out of style, all smiles!), and when she hits something she looks for one of us to help get her going again. After about 6 weeks with this toy she is starting to understand that she can turn it around herself. I don't think this is a fault of the toy, but more of an issue with her lack of experience and skill level.

We are looking forward to the day when she figures out that she can use the cart to drive animals, books, etc around the house. I can tell it will have a long lifespan in our house!

I have an 11 month old who is just learning to walk. This cart is amazing. Simple to use and easy to assemble, it's been a great addition to our home. I found it more attractive and more stable than other walkers I've used (I've been a nanny and have an older son too). The best thing about it is that it has adjustable tension on the wheels. There are two hidden screws on the back wheels, and with a screwdriver, you can make the cart easier or harder to push. When your baby is still pretty unstable at walking, you can make it hard to push and very slow, and as they get better at walking, you can loosen the wheels and make it more of a little wagon or toy shopping cart.

The rubber gaskets on the wheels prevent any damage to the floor or walls from baby's bumps. This cart doesn't have a ton of extra frills and toys, but it works better than most of the others. I highly recommend it. At Christmas time, it was only 49.95, though. I would probably pay the extra if I couldn't find it at a better price, but I would definitely get it again. The quality is so great, though, I won't have to! I think it will last for generations.

It is SO easy to put together. The quality is superb! My daughter is now 2 and it looks brand new after a year of use. I have another daughter who will be able to use it soon! Not only does it make a great walker that does NOT tip over on your child, but it can have many other uses too! Doll buggy, grocery cart, my daughter loves it when her big brothers push her around in it! I highly recommend this walker! We had another one with a bunch of stuff on it and we returned it. This is so much safer and allows your child to use their imagination in so many ways!

Don't get this. I returned it immediately after seeing how flimsy the wood is (plywood that would easily splinter). The screws of the wheels strip easily. Get the Boikido Wooden Push And Play Rabbit Wagon instead. It's all solid wood and includes a great rubber stop type of brake which prevents the walker from potentially toppling backwards.

I really preferred the idea of a wooden walker but this is NOT the product for a new walker baby.

BRIO Magnetic Blocks

BRIO Magnetic BlocksWe got these for our 20 month old. The magnets were too weak. It was like getting regular blocks without magnets. Also, the magnets were only on 2 sides of each piece. So on a six-sided cube, only 2 sides had magnets and only one of those sides would attract with one side on another block, and the magnets were so weak, sometimes I couldn't tell if they were supposed to be repelling or attracting. This made it annoying to try to find the magnetic sides unless you looked at each surface of each block really closely. Plus, because our child didn't get that they were magnets (she has other magnetic toys she likes to play with) she just whacked the blocks together and the paint chipped off of a couple of the blocks. Within 5 minutes of having opened the package, I put the blocks back into the box and stuck them into the pile for stuff to go to good will. I would return them, but technically they are damaged now. I would give one star for this product, but I decided to give two because the concept was good.

I purchased the magnetic stacking blocks about 1 1/2 years ago for my child (now 2 1/2). I loved the idea of children having beginning blocks that could actually stick together and not immediately fall down. These are very well made. Because they are magnetic with one side "positive"/ one side "negative", I put a tiny permanent marker dot on the positive side of all the blocks. My daughter immediately picked up on this (at 12 months, they are more observant that we think sometimes) and that did the trick. She knew how to stick them together. They stick together well enough on the floor but if picked up too vigorously, or with too many stuck togetherthey come apartlots of fun for the child as well. Her main issue was that there were not enough blocks to really feel like she could build something as she gets older so I bought a second set and the train. It works great for us.

If you have an older child, the discovery of how the magnets repel or attract will be interesting, but if they are younger most likely just frustrating so I suggest the dot idea. It is a safe beginning magnet set because there is no way the child can access the magnetit is inside the shapes. Be sure to check out the train based on the same ideait might be a better fit for you or a good addition.

Buy BRIO Magnetic Blocks Now

I got these blocks for my son about four years ago, and they have spent the majority of the time being "trash" in the back of his toy garbage truck, not used as blocks. The magnets aren't very strong, and are only on two sides of the six-sided square blocks. The round blocks are useless, except for tripping over. Also, there aren't enough blocks to build much of anything. I generally love Brio products, but recommend going with another product unless you are using these for a baby or very young toddler. I prefer to get something that will be useful for a longer time.
