Lee Middleton Little Bailey Doll - Dark

Lee Middleton Little Bailey Doll - DarkI'm so sorry I can't give thus sweet doll 5 stars. This is the cutest dark complexion doll I could fine! I spent $35. on this doll which is more than many well made dolls. Unfortunately, there is a very distinct petroleum smell about this doll. It seems to be in the material that makes up the head, hands and feet. I've washed her head, hand and feet several times and hasn't made any difference. I'm at a loss why the 2 other reviewers didn't mention this problem. The smell permeated her clothes which Is better since being laundered. It's a very unpleasant and strong smell. I've washed her and set her in the fresh air for a week now and I have serious doubts that will make any difference. My hubby walked past her a couple of feet away and asked what was that chemical smell. I inadvertently destroyed her packaging so I guess I'm out $35.00 because I don't even want my grand babies to breath in these fumes.

I bought 3 dolls. One of them was a birthday gift for my 2 year old adopted grandaughter and she can't put her down! She loves her. Little Bailey is just the right size for young children and as my grandaughters grow, I'll purchase the larger, life-like baby dolls. I was "sad" that Lee Middleton has discontinued the small baby line.

This doll was just perfect. It was not to big for someone that just started walking to carry around and soft bodied so, when said person crashes, it doesn't add to injuries! Cute clothing and she sucks her thumb and great skin tone. I love that Middleton offers Bailey in a darker skin tone. It took me forever to find a doll that I liked that wasn't blond and blue eyed! I just bought another for another niece that just turned one...am now looking for an asian and hispanic styled dollie so any ideas are appreciated!

Bunnies By The Bay - Bud Buddy Blanket - Blue

Bunnies By The Bay - Bud Buddy Blanket - BlueMy son loves this bunny lovie! It's very soft and the blanket part is velvet and satin. He likes the texture. I wish it was washer safe tho, as I'm not a fan of handwashing. He likes to chew on the bunny head because it's soft and cushy. He's 6 months old now, but has liked holding on to it since he was about a month old.

Yookidoo Flow 'N' Fill Spout

Yookidoo Flow 'N' Fill SpoutThe Yookidoo is great bath time fun better yet, kids of all ages will love it (well up to a point). The concept of the Yookidoo fountain is pretty basic it has an opening at the bottom with a small pump. The pump circulates the water to the top and fountain is put into motion (it will make more sense once you see the video). Our daughter loves playing with her Yookidoo even if it is mainly to try to find ways to drink the water!

Things we like -

It is very quiet if it wasn't for the falling water you wouldn't even know it was on

A variety of cups to catch the water (see the video)

Suction cups work great for attaching to the bath tub.

Seems to be high quality (so far) we have used it daily for about 1 month.

Areas for improvement

It is a minor complaint, but it might be nice if it was a little bigger

Final VerdictI can't imagine any child that wouldn't enjoy the Yookidoo fountain. You can buy this with confidence.

5 Stars

My kids love love loved this but in less than a month it just stopped working. I called the company international playthings and they basically said "not our problem". I have never had such bad customer service with a toy company. They said any problem I had would have to be dealt with through the toy store where I purchased it. I love this product but knowing what I know now I would not recommend it or any international playthings toy as they do not stand behind there merchandise.

I am yet another parent with a toy that was well enjoyed great fun! BUT it was short lived. The 2nd week after my daughter's birthday this toy was not working right. By the 3rd week it would not turn on at all. When we went to change the batteries we found that gasket on the battery compartment had not sealed at all!

Actually, my husband had worried initially that the gasket did not look very reliable, but we put in the batteries anyway, and believe me, he made sure to screw the cover on tightly. But, sure enough, after the 3 weeks we opened the battery compartment and icky brown/black water dripped out. The batteries were all rusted/corroded from the water infiltrating. Even the spring that presses against the negative end of the battery had rusted right off!

This toy was so much fun that I would really like to order it again, but only if I can find a way to insert a gasket that will really seal so the toy won't be ruined. Also, while we were careful to keep the battery compartment above the water level when we suctioned the toy to the tub, it would also be advisable (though not at all practical) to take the batteries out after each bath and dry the compartment out.

If your children enjoy playing with running water, this toy is a great alternative to continually running the faucet. It seems to be well made and has functioned well for the months that I have had it.

I purchased this toy for my 2 year old, but my five and seven year olds play with it, too. I have been known to stick a cranky kid in the tub to play with this toy for an hour or soa break for me and an attitude changer for the child!

I am purchasing a few of these for Christmas presents this year!

My son loves this toy and the cups that come with it. I got this when my son was 17 months old and he loved it until it stopped working after about four months and he would cry "Yoo-kid -o"! and "momma fix it!" I couldn't find any warrantee info.

Sometimes just taking the cover off the inlet will magically start it working again. I found that the pump had seized up a couple times and taking the cover off and sticking the screw driver into the pump fins and spinning it will restart it.

Party Pom Poms for Girls Birthday Party Hanging Decor, Baby's, Nursery and Girls' Bedroom Decoratio

Party Pom Poms for girls Birthday Party hanging decor, Baby's, Nursery and Girls' Bedroom decorationsI bought this for my little one's 2 year birthday. There's a video that shows you how to fluff the pom pom. I'm ordering another right now because it's just ONE. So make sure you order how many you want. I was disappointed because the pink is sold out now, so I'm getting a purple one. Very big though, it comes with a string, and very cute! Can't wait for her birthday. These go good with the pom pom garland. Thinking about hanging the pom poms in her room after her birthday.

I got a light pink one for my daughter's 1st birthday decoration. It is lovely and easy to fluffy after I watched the tutorial video. I plan to use it for her bedroom after the party and get more as her future birthdays come.

Little Tikes Activity Toyz

Little Tikes Activity ToyzThis set of rattles, rings and teethers is awesome!!! It's actually the second set I bought as my son lost his blue chewy teether from the first set and it was his favorite! 'crunchy bird' is a huge success, the rings ALWAYS useful, the cute giraffe rattle-easy for little hands to hold on to and the teething ring is the best! Out of any teething rings, that's the best we have! Can't beat the price either for such a great assortment and variety! Good quality products also! This would be the perfect shower gift or gift for your own child!

Toy Ambulance Bump N Go With Flashing Lights

Toy Ambulance Bump N Go With Flashing LightsMy granddaughter loves playing with this along with her FP Hospital. She especially loves that she can push a button and hear a cough etc...

Great toy, not only can you play doctor, but this ambulance also flashes its lights, makes siren noises and runs around on its own. The best part is that it is so smart, the ambulance recognizes when it runs into something and turns itself around. It is great!

Grimm's Waterwaves

Grimm's WaterwavesBeautiful pieces made safely in Germany with water-based dyes. Great for exploration. My 2 year old uses them to rock his animals to sleep, swim, and drink. He builds with them on their own, with the Grimm rainbow, other block sets, and inserts them into puzzle play.

And that was just this morning!

This toy is really pretty and very appealing to my 1 year-old daughter. She loves the feel of the wood and the bright colors and she plays with it often.

Farm Play Set

Farm Play Setthe fun is in putting it together but it is not very good for a playhouse because it is rather small and too tippy. all the sticks for the fence don't stay inside the holes, but my 3 year old daughter still loves putting it together. my daughter can also stack the logs to make her own creation and has spent an hour doing that by herself. we have gotten good play mileage out of this. It really is very cute.

Bugs On Board

Bugs On BoardI have to say, this toy is great. We bought then for our daughter when she was 4 months old (7 months now) and she just loves them. As they are small and easily movable, we use them in the car, have them velcro'd to her car seat handles, lay them with her on her play mat and bring them into the restaurant. Whenever she gets fussy, we give one to her and she is good for 15 minutes. Perfect for the family on the move.

I don't know what I would have done without these bugs. They kept my daughter entertained for hours while she was in her infant carseat. Now that she is in the larger carseat I have found other places to attach them because they are her favorite travelling toy. This is one toy that I will be saving for her memory box!

Buy Bugs On Board Now

I bought these for my 3 month old, since she is just starting to bat and grab at hanging toys. Here are the pros and cons of the bugs:

Pros

1) They can be hung from multiple places, including the car seat, bouncy seat, and swing.

2) Can be used as wrist rattles

3) Brightly colored, keeps my babies attention

4) They don't hang down too far, so they don't hit my baby in the face while they are hooked to her car seat.

Cons

1) The dragonfly is supposed to have beads in its tail that rattle. Unfortunately, the beads are so tightly packed into the tail that they don't rattle at all; also, there is a yellow mesh fabric that covers the tail so you can barely even see the beads. I had researched this product online first before buying and was under the impression that the beads were easy to see in the tail. I was very disappointed when I took this bug out of the package and it wasn't anything like how it was represented online. The beads may as well not even be in the tail, since they are pretty much non-functioning.

2) The dragonfly is also supposed to buzz and vibrate when you pull it down. It does, but it only buzzes/vibrates for a split second, not nearly long enough for my baby to even realize what's going on!

3) The grasshopper is supposed to rattle, but when I shake it, I can barely hear the rattle sound coming from inside its body. The ladybug is the only bug out of the three that has a nice chime sound that entertains my baby.

I'm glad I bought these, because my baby does like them. I just was a bit disappointed that they were different than what they were represented to be on the online information.

My daughter loves her bugs on board. We bought them when she was born and have watched her develop with her bugs on board. When she was 0-3 months, she would stare at them passively. The high contrast and bright colors were good for her to focus as her eye's developed. Starting at about 4 months she developed the motor skills to hit and grab at the bugs on board.

If you have a travel system, they are always with the car seat whether you're at home, in the car, in the stoller or even on an airplane. We traveled to three countries and bugs on board was attached to her infant seat the whole time. (We saw bugs on board for 3x the price at some fancy baby store in London). While its true, most infant car seat toys stay attached to the seat, bugs on board is small and soft so that you don't have to be concerned baby hitting hard plastic when taking baby out of the car seat, putting her in the car seat or in a car accident. [I'm talking about something the Baby Einstein Neptune Toy Bar]

These Bugs are awesome. My son is 5 months old now and just loves them. They have very bright colors that keep the childs attention, and the wings make crinkle sounds and the bodies of the bugs are rattles. They wash very very well. I just threw them in the washer with his clothes because I had them attached to his infant carrier and he likes to chew on them. They attach with velcro and you can pretty much attach them anywhere. We are going to attach them to the stroller once he moves to a larger car seat. Great value for the entertainment.

Gund Curious George Dressed for a Birthday 14" Plush

Gund Curious George Dressed for a Birthday 14' PlushMy sons both love Curious George and for my older son's 3rd birthday, we presented him with this adorable stuffed "Birthday George". He loved it and it's super soft and cuddly. Very durable and well-made. We also gave him the Curious George birthday book so he loves reading that while having his new stuffed George close by! Great purchase! My 18-month-old son loves it as well. :)

My college-age daughter is a Curious George fanatic, so on her birthday George came dressed in his party hat holding a gift. He's cute, soft, and cuddly. He also makes a great addtion to a Curious George collection. No matter what the age, if a child either likes Curious George or other friends from the ape group, this toy is a lot of fun, created by a well-known company, and reasonably priced. Now remember, George is not a monkey. Monkey's have tails. George has curiousity.

Soft Baby Block Count Me in Blue

Soft Baby Block Count Me in BlueI bought the pink and blue soft baby blocks when my daughter was four months old, and they were just right for her first toy. They were just the right size, very light, easy to grab (squishy) for those with limited manual dexterity, and the give off a nice tinkly sound from a little jingle bell inside. I was surprised by how much my daughter loved her pink one, so I went back and bought the blue one, too. She still plays with them at age 10 months, so I am very satisfied. Plus they are VERY well made and look super cute on the knick-knack shelf in her nursery! Buy it!

Gund Reindeer 20" Baby Coat

Gund Reindeer 20' Baby CoatI have purchased quite a few of the Gund "Holiday" jackets for my granddaughter. They are beautiful, cute and soft. Great for picture ops. The compliments are never ending. The little Reindeer in the pocket is a bonus!!

This coat is excellent! It's well made and very soft inside and out. It's surprisingly thick, furrier than a real reindeer. There's a little tail on the back.

One thing to note is that there is nothing that holds the coat shut except for a velcro tab on the collar--it's more like a cape. If your baby has a large head, that velcro tab might not even close. So, if you want to be able to keep the coat shut, you'll need to add a button or two.

blufadoodle ganz webkinz plush animal

blufadoodle ganz webkinz plush animalWebkinz are always fun! This one is a bird so you will have the limitations of a treetop house. They just don't let you have all the normal fun stuff in a tree house.

Not sure what it is supposed to be maybe a bird or a really fat peacock. Either way it is cute pretty and well made and the sparkle effect is a nice touch.

Be careful. We ordered this item through Amazon (via Go Hastings) and it did not come with a code. I called and they refunded our money and my daughter gets to keep the stuffed animal. It's a new product so I don't know why the code didn't come with it.

Want blufadoodle ganz webkinz plush animal Discount?

I purchased this product for my daughter, who enjoys Webkinz. Not for playing with the animals but for the code you get to play online. The online platform is the entire draw for these toys.

Toys which are now found on the bottom shelf of the check-out lane at Wal-mart with all the code tags stolen. The same was true for the Halmark store in town and several other florist shops. Without the codes, they are uninteresting to my lot.

So we ordered this one online.

The online area is child-friendly with a lot of things to do that don't cost extra real money, like several other sites charge. While you can buy additional items (we don't) there are plenty of other areas to play.

I like that the characters can do jobs (play games) to earn webkinz money to use online. I also like that jobs and other things are only available ONCE during a 24 period. It's self limiting, so you have to wait and come back later to do more.

Under The Nile Bear Ring

Under The Nile Bear Ring, Ice BlueI saw this when I was pregnant with my first baby and just loved how eco-friendly and organic it is. We received it as a gift, and I was delighted to give it my little girl to clutch when she was about four months old. Unfortunately, she has never been interested in it as a teether or as a playtoy. (She is now two and a half.) I thought maybe it was just her, but our second baby has shown no interest in it either ever and he is now 13 months old. I think it's been played with for less than two minutes in all the time that we've had it, even when I have handed it to them and there have been no other toys in sight. It might be just my children, but I think babies are more interested in something that is thinner, brighter, and easier to hold. The Sassy Bumble Bites Teether -1 Toy, for example, is not so eco-friendly, but both of my babies have loved it for teething.

As much as I want to like this little teething bear, it has been completely useless for my babies. If you're looking for a teether for your own baby or as a gift, I'd recommend finding something bright and BPA free. It will be far more useful than this item will be!

My baby likes chewing on the little arms of the bear but they don't seem to get all the way back to his molars which he gets frustrated with sometimes. Still, it's nice to know that my baby is chewing on something non-toxic!

Buy Under The Nile Bear Ring Now

I bought this toy for my baby and two more to give as gifts. After a few days of being chewed on, the seams on one of the little arms gave and it came almost entirely free. This is a huge choking hazard! I'm going to remove that arm completely and probably take the other one off as well (there is solid fabric underneath) so I don't have to worry. If I do give the other two as gifts, I'll be sure to give them with a strong warning. However, I'll probably just be returning them. Very disappointing that such a cute, natural product turned into a danger to my infant.

Justice League Child's Robin Tutu Dress

Justice League Child's Robin Tutu Dress - ToddlerMy 3 yr old daughter LOVES this Robin costume and wears it frequently! I think that its adorable and loved the accesories that came with the costume(the details make this),but i did not like all of the glitter on the tutu

My daughter was livid when I bought her little brother the Batman costume and made her be the sidekick. She's a bit peculiar and has a handful of issues like Aspergers and SPD. We have to check everything to make sure it's not too hot, not too scratchy. We also like to have our costumes last until Comic Con so I can get an extra wearing out of them.

I was very pleasantly surprised with how cute and how well made the costume was. The mask didn't bother her, and I was sure it would. The top wasn't scratchy and the skirt was soft. PLUS it was CUTE! I don't think it gets any better than this.

Wonderworld Spinny Walker

Wonderworld Spinny WalkerI bought this for a little girl's first B-day present. I was pleased woth the quality, the colors, and the functionality. Being a party for a one year old, there were plenty of other children there ranging from 12 mos. 4 years and I was surprised how much ALL the ages enjoyed it. I was concerned because I wanted to get something that would last and she would want to play with for a long time...this was it! Perfect gift, and again, the quality was wonderful!

the strands of beads spin and span outwards as the circular thing they're attached to spins with wheel rotation. creates a neat visual. well-made, simple engineering. i've given this as a gift, and the mom asked where i got it because even her neighbor's older kids like it. even adults will find it interesting i think. the pricing ($16-$20) is very reasonable as well, considering the quality and fun factor.

While my baby doesn't use it much, it is very well made. I own a lot of wonderworld products and admire their high quality. My baby prefers pull on toys and push cart. She likes to move middle part up and down of spinny walker and play with balls on the thread. She is 1 1/2 and doesn't like to push it. She sometimes tries to pull this toy.

Little Tikes 2 in 1 Farm Sort and Stack

Little Tikes 2 in 1 Farm Sort and StackMy twins received this as a gift. They weren't ready for it when they got it and I considered exchanging it because I already had a different shape sorter but my husband talked me into keeping it. I wish that I had exchanged it. My kids are now 15 months old and hardly ever play with it for several reasons. Putting shapes into a horizontal wall is very difficult. Really the only way that they can get the shapes in is to put the toy on its side and this makes the silo part of the toy useless. But the silo part of the toy is almost useless anyway. The center tower part comes off VERY easily and my kids won't and can't keep it in place to stack the hay. I think that they have literally put one of the hay bales on the center pole once.

The only saving grace is that for some strange reason the center yellow pole that the hay bales go on is a favorite toy around here. They walk around with this strange thing and love it.

The toy is cute, but there are much better and more functional shape sorters on the market. I recommend that you look elsewhere.
