LeapFrog Baby Little Leaps: Leap Ahead

LeapFrog Baby Little Leaps: Leap AheadThere are 1 or 2 seconds of delay after a kid hit the button, and the kids will not wait for that time. Without immediate response from the screen, the kids will not know what causes the action in the screen. Good idea but not a good product

Okay, I'm not one to write reviews normally, but I had to for this one. Either my daughter is a genius, or this "game" is LAME. Although she is 2 1/2 and has known her alphabet since she was 2, and has been able to count to 10 even before that, I thought maybe this would be fun for her to try. First of all, two of the "games" aren't games at all the shapes one is just a video of a bird drawing 4 shapes, and then it's over. No interaction at all. The animal one is just lessons on different animals, and the joystick controls which animals you view, but it's not a game either. The alphabet game only teaches a few letters, and that's it. You would think it would teach all 26, but no. The "feeding the pig" game counts to 10, but doesn't do much. And the whole DVD intermittently uses the same puppets that were in the infant games. My daughter likes to play this thing, but gets bored quickly. I'll save it for my next child, and introduce it to him much earlier.

Overall great product easy to use and my son enjoys it. I would recommend using this as soon as your child is interested

My infants/toddlers loved their Little Leaps games. This game was a wonderful transition game when they got old enough/coordinated enough to play without me. It didn't last longthey moved onto a hand-me-down GameCubebut was defintely worth the money for the educational and fine motor skills.

Sesame Street Teether Baby Rattle Toy

Sesame Street Teether Baby Rattle ToyOur grandson loves this toy. everything goes in his mouth and he loves chewing on elmo's hands, feet and nose! Keeps him very entertained.

I purchased this for my daughter because she seemed to be attracted to the color red. She would reach out and try to grab anything that was red, so when I saw this teether, I thought she would really love it. However she likes it but it only keeps her interest for a short time. She chews on the hands and feet but since it only rattles and doesn't play music or light up, she gets bored. However, the eyes on ours is sewn crooked so Elmo looks crazy! We decided to just keep him and have named him Crazy Elmo! Overall I'm happy with the purchase.

This toy is great. It's hook allows the baby to keep a hold on it easily and also makes it easy to include onto baby's other toys etc. It is also very durable. He loves it very much!

I take this Elmo along on our walks outside. It slides right onto the stroller bumble bar. I love that it is easily washable. Now that my girl is getting older though, she finds it a bit boring. A great teething toy for a younger baby.

Little Tikes Discover Sounds Keychain

Good toy for the money and apparently he loves it.

My babies first Christmas gift. He was only 4 months at the time so buying him a bunch of toys I think he'd like will not be the way to go.

My 5 month old son loves the sounds, but the keys were a little bit too bulky for him to hold in his hands for now. Maybe he will still have interest in this toy in the next couple months to better play with it.

The Original Toy Company Pop Up Toy

The Original Toy Company Pop Up ToyThe idea of this toy is great. The construction of this toy is awful. From the minute my daughter started playing with it the springs would stick, therefore the pegs would not pop up. Every single time she played with it I would have to get out the screw driver, unscrew the bottom of the toy and re-adjust the springs....and do it all over again, and again and again. (you get the idea).

Don't waste your time with this one...just plain no good.

This was given as a gift to my sone for his first birthday and now at 2.5 he is still fascinated by it. It's a simple mechanism of springs and pegs but he's loved learning how to make the pegs "pop" and never tires of watching them fly. It's been a simple and valuable toy to teach counting and colors.

Rosella Clutching toy

Rosella Clutching toyHABA is a WONDERFUL company. We have had excellent customer service where they have gone above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend supporting this company based on our experiences with their staff and their well crafted products!

Rosella is a small toy, perfect for baby hands. My daughter loves to shake and rattle everything to hear the noises made. This toy does not disappoint. Our daughter is 12 months old and her attention is captivated by Rosella.

Our children loved this toy. It apparently tastes great! And provides lots of entertainment. It can be used by adults in "puppet" shows. It makes noise thanks to it's "hands" with rattled about. Definately recommend this for babies looking to mouth something :) It was so good, we've since bought many more of them (or their similar versions there's mouse, and other characters) for our friends' and familys' babies.

Buy Rosella Clutching toy Now

Let me start by saying we own TONS of HABA toys, and we love them. I consider them to be heirloom quality--they are made in Germany--NOT China, and they are so well made.

Rosella The Clutching Toy is made very well--but--in my opinion with a MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. The arms are made of string, and at the end have small balls attached. The string may be thick, but I fear it could be a choking hazzard if a child bites through them, and in turn possibly choke on the small balls.

At first I allowed my daughter to play with this, and sure enough, the first thing that went in her mouth were the little balls at the end. After only a couple of days, and tons of worry, with that gnawing feeling of: this toy is not safe, I took it from her pile of toys. Now, it has become a decoration on a shelf!!

Keep your piece of mind, and don't buy this!!

By the way, a great toy made by HABA that my daughter loves is the "Flower Trio Clutching Toy" It's pretty and doesn't seem to have any possible choking hazzards.

Fisher-Price Waddle Clacker

Fisher-Price Waddle ClackerThis a heavier duty rattle. The penguin is super cute and he has 5 colorful fish in his belly. His little feet wiggle, and the bigger size is easy to hold. Not only is this adorable, but I like to ask when shaking it, "What do penguins eat? Fish!", making it a simple lesson in animal habits too.

Bought as a stocking stuffer.. really doe n't do much at all. My baby has hardly looked at it. So a bit of a waste really.

Boomer The Fire Truck Motorized Vehicles

Boomer The Fire Truck Motorized VehiclesMy 3 year old loves these trucks but they break within a week. The gears are easily stripped and they won't climb anymore. I have purchased many of them and this perticular one didnt work out of the box.

My grandson loves these motorized trucks! We have a collection and some of the stunt setups. He is only 21 months and knows what to do with them!

Agree. My kids love the Chuck and Friends toys. I keep buying the product, but the trucks break very easily. Out of the four trucks I have two have broke and no longer work. Gears grind quite easily. Also they are battery guzzlers. They are fun while they last tho.

Earlyears Curiosity Cube

Earlyears Curiosity CubeThis is an exceptional sensory stimulating toy. Ideal for infants as young as 4 or 5 months. Having 6 different ways to explore this toy, it will also keeps an infant's interest throughout their quickly developing first year.

There is a mirror that spins, 2 wire bead tracks with 2 beads each (different shapes), a spining and clicking circular divice with finger 2 impressions allowing you to teach your child how to turn the disk, an abacus type section with green and orange disks, a spiral "pole" with an orange disk that will fall down the spirals when turned, and finally a cylinder with 4 levels of plastic swiss cheese type bariers allowing very tiny beads to fall through making a "rain stick" type sound. This too spins.

It is small enough to take in the car, easy to carry, light yet very sturdy. I have no concerns about any part of this breaking or coming apart. Because it is light weight, it is very easy for the child to manipulate. It will hold their attention, teach them about basic physical properties and laws (such as gravity), and will last through at least 2 children.

A good addition to the playroom.

My baby's arm/elbow got stuck inside this toy. I tried to free her but the toy is very well made that I can't break it. My baby's constricted arm started to turn purple after 15 minutes, so I had to call 911. It took 3 firefighters to get her arm off from the toy. I think this toy should be recalled.

Buy Earlyears Curiosity Cube Now



I bought this for my 7 month old who was learning to sit on her own. She seemed to like boxes -diaper wipe box, kleenex box, etc -so I thought this would be a definite hit. For the first month, she was definitely interested in it but it didn't hold her attenton for more than a few minutes -perhaps she wasn't at the recommended age? I still thought it was pretty cool though and I don't know how a baby's arm could get stuck in this (as somebody else wrote) -My baby never had a problem with that. The item description says that it requires 2 AA batteries but I don't think that's correct as there is definitely no battery compartment on this cube!

This video was taken when she was about 9 months old. There are 3 sides she likes more than the others and she will pretty much only plays with those 3 sides. Now just hitting 11 months, she will play with this on occassion but only for a couple of minutes before she finds something else more exciting.

We received this as a gift when my son was 6 months old and at the time he loved spining the mirror and the little barrel of beads. As he got older, he started to learn how to use all the other functions on the cube. He is 10 months now and I have to admit he plays with it less frequently but every so often, he will sit there and play with it for a good 5-10 min. Overall, I think this toy was awesome!!

I bought this for my son when he was 5mo.s old. I pulled it out for him at 6mo.s and he had no iterest. I pulled it out again at 7mo.s and he LOVES it. It really works his hand eye coordination. It is small enough so now that he is sitting up, he can move it around and change it to what interests him at the moment. It has been really good for his independent play time.

Baby Xylophone Musical Toy

Baby Xylophone Musical ToyIn many ways this is a great toy, we like the sound, weight, bright colours BUT the mallet is VERY DANGEROUS for small babies, especially those teething who will stick everything in their mouths. Although the edges are rounded that will not prevent the ends getting STUCK in your baby's mouth. While happily playing and chewing my nine month old got the end of the mallet JAMMED between the roof and bottom of his mouth. Horrible experience, fortunately he was fine but it could easily have become a real nightmare. DO NOT GIVE THE MALLET TO BABIES. Save this toy for when chewing and exploring with the mouth are long over.

After lots of searching I settled on this model for my 10 month old boy. He's still a little young for this but will grow into it. This is the perfect design for young kids and is well made in Israel. The pitch is excellent and the design is sturdy. Rounded edges are nice and safe and the kid can't pry off any of the notes. It gets dropped a lot. The mallot is just what you want too, as they will stick it in their mouth and run around with it, so you don't want the standard stick. Worth the exra money!

Buy Baby Xylophone Musical Toy Now

Received this as a gift for my then 1 year old daughter. I'd seen a lot of xylophones in the stores, but they sounded AWFUL (either an incomplete scale or WAY out of tune). This one seems to be a true scale, not musician quality, but you can play little tunes on it. The mallet looks flimsy, but has withstood my daughter's vigorous play. The frame is solid. The paint on the keys has not chipped and is bright and cheerful. Doesn't seem to have any hard or pokey edges.

Bottom line: It doesn't look very impressive, but it's well-constructed and in tune, which is important if you're hoping to encourage a good ear for music.

After playing with all of the xylophones in the stores and finding at least one bar out of tune, I searched on Amazon, and found this little guy. No bells and whistles, but it is actually IN TUNE!!! I had to tie a ribbon to the striker so it didn't get lost, but this was an absolutely easy consolation for finding one that didn't grate on my ears.

Want Baby Xylophone Musical Toy Discount?

This is the only xylophone I could find for babies that is actually in tune! It plays a complete scale (C to C) so we can play recognizable songs on it easily (fun!) plus it has the added educational value of teaching little ones what a scale should sound like. I really like the plastic edges, which cover up the sides of the keys so babies can't chew on them. The mallet is plastic too and seems safe to me. It's nice that the mallet attaches to the back of the xylophone so we don't loose it.

Black, White & Red Infant Stim Flashcards Set

Black, White & Red Infant Stim Flashcards SetThis is not a fantastic toy, just good. The red, black and white patterns were interesting for my infant, but the faces were useless and not clear emotional representations of the words used. The ring included was helpful but could have been better.

I read with interest the reviews posted about the baby images on these cards. I wanted to create a mobile to hang over my grandson's cradle and thought these cards would be perfect. The infant images are ok, but I took it a step further, to personalize the mobile. I took assorted mood photos of my grandson Gabe and cropped close ups to 4x4 size.

These were printed on sticker paper and I just placed them over the images on the cards! These can be changed to anything you like-animals, graphics or the theme of the nursery.

The cards are hung from a purchased photo mobile kit, but you could cut wire hangers to create your own.

I can't wait to see his reaction to the bright graphics and photos of his own face!

Buy Black, White & Red Infant Stim Flashcards Set Now

I recently bought this and made the cards into a mobile using a Kikkerland wire mobile. The Kikkerland is pretty hard to use with these cards because it's difficult to get the cards to lay flat (facing down toward baby), but once you get them the flashcards are great!

My 2 month old stares up at the shapes, smiling. She giggles and coos and will gladly look at the shapes for 20 minutes or more.

The one negative, as other commenters have pointed out, is that the faces don't make much sense. They are printed really poorly (they have weird color casts over them so the baby faces are green, red, blue, etc) and are not nice to look at.

I would have given this 5 stars if they had printed other shapes on both sides, instead of the faces.

My three month old was not as interested in these flash cards as I anticipated. Also the photo quality of the baby's faces was poor.

Bright Starts Pretty in Pink Put and Take Purse

Bright Starts Pretty in Pink Put and Take PurseMy daughter likes to tote things around and put her toys in boxes, bags, etc. I decided that she should have a purse since this could combine her two favorite interests. While it is not her favorite toy, she does play with it quite often and I think it has some staying power. I very much appreciate the fact that the opening is easy for little hands to reach inside; some of the purses out there create a lot of frustration for small kids because putting their hands in to take something out can be a challenge. This is designed so that it is easy to see what is inside the purse and easy to take things out/put things in. The items that come with the purse are adorable crinkle play money, a mirror, a phone and a key. The little chime on the bow is an added bonus. If you are looking for a toy purse for a toddler, I think this is a great product.

We bought this for our daughter when we was about 6 months old. She loved to take things out of it and hear the noise the bow on the purse made. She liked the items in the purse as well particularly the crinkle money. I would have thought the buttons on the phone would have pushed and made a noise, but they don't. We would certainly buy this product again or for a gift for a 6-12 month old.

This was a big hit with my 15 month old granddaughter. She started to play with it right away. The wide opening is the best. It allows her to get everything out and put everything back in with ease.

My 11 month old just loves this purse. She plays with this constantly taking out the items and putting them back in. It is also a plus that she can chew on them while taking them in and out. Love that this purse is opened at the top as she loves to put other small toys in there as well as there is plenty of room.

This is a great design compared to an older one we had for our other daughter who had such a hard time opening the purse and getting her fingers stuck, believe that was a sesame street purse not by Bright Start.

Step2 Push Around Buggy (Red)

Step2 Push Around BuggyI recently bought this car for my 8 month-old daughter and she absolutely LOVES it! She claps her hands and squeals up a storm as we "drive" down the street. The handle is perfect for my height and I love that it has a seatbelt in it. The "trunk" is handy for storage, (keys, wallet, burp cloth etc..) and my daughter even falls asleep in it. AMAZING! We usually take a 30 minute walk in the evening time and the minute I put her in the car to get ready to go, she is just overjoyed. This is one toy that we'll definitely get our moneys worth out of! (Already have, I think!) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!

I did a lot of research on toddler push cars and decided to let the amazon reviews guide me on this purchase. I'm glad I did. The reviews are quite accurate. My 12 month old loves this car and so do the other neighborhood kids. All the little ones want their turn. I love the seat belt keeps him safe. The handle is great too. I'm tall (5' 8") and I worried that I would have to bend down to use the handle. Not at all it is the perfect height even for moms tall as me. So why 4 stars...I agree with others this little ride is quite loud on the sidewalk and driveway. In and of itself not so bad but we often find ourselves in a caravan or wagon train with lots of other moms and kids and I can't hear anybody when I'm pushing this car. I have to strain to hear, ask people to repeat themselves and finally I just stop so that I can hear. Not a reason not to buy the car...just know this going in and you can make the best of an overall awesome little ride.

Buy Step2 Push Around Buggy (Red) Now

If you are looking for fun, the buggy is the way to go. I bought this in April 2002 for my son and I have been using all the time! I would have to say he prefers this to his stroller, I think he likes that he is more out in the open...plus he loves to steer and beep his horn.

From a parents view I have to say I am in love with it. It was so wasy to put together, I just slid the handle in and we were off. The trunk compartment is great for holding keys, toys and juice cups. My husband and I are both short and the push handle is the perfect height for us. Every time I take Jaden somewhere I get a comment on it. The plastic wheels can be a bit noisy, but that is a small price to pay for such a cool toy.

I am not going to get rid of stroller though, you can't recline like you would in a stroller and I don't think a child could comfortably rest in the buggy. But if you are out cruising the neighborhood or playgrounds, this is the toy to have!

I just got this for my 10 month old son and he LOVES it! His grandparents have a pedal fire engine already waiting for when he is older so I was not concerned with this car's lack of a pedaling option. I think that this is perfect for my son's age considering that it has a seat belt and foot rests. He loves the trunk compartment in the front to play with when he is not riding. The push handle is wonderful for his grandparent's to use when he is at their house and it comes off easily for putting the car in my trunk. Also, so far it is not noisy like some other reviewers have stated.

educo Little Autos - Red

educo Little Autos - RedThis product was recommended in a Babys r us magazine, at least it was being given away by the cash register.

What was notable was that the article recommended buying fom Amazon, and that it was a nice safe baby toy with those wonderful car qualities kids enjoy.

What I found odd abou it was how out of whack the wheel alignment on one axle. I don't know of it is a defect or they do nt care.

I suspect the latter since as far as my 1 y.o. is concerned its fine and fun. However, she still goes after her sisters Mattel cars.

The car is very good as just the right size for an infant. But that also means it is easily wielded as something to hit her sister with.

It may just be the improving motor skills but she has gotten very good at that and this car actually makes it worse.

The car is solid. Easy to use, the baby likes it, and can definitely manipulate it very, very well. It looks good too.

I think it is worth the money to have a good toy that does not seem like it will harm her, that is good to play with and helps with motor skill development. In our case it has added an extra dimension for positive social skill development.

I bought two more at this price so that we have more colors.

Toysmith Battat Sound Puzzle Box

Toysmith Battat Sound Puzzle BoxI am a Speech Pathologist and use these toy with all my toddlers. It is appropriate for this age group due to the cause and effect/dump and fill type play it involves. The shapes make sounds as they are put into the slots which is very motivating to toddlers. I use it to stimulate language by with holding the shapes and requiring the child to ask for them (more, mine, my turn). You can also work on turn taking with this toy. I call this my magic toy and buy it for all of my friends who have young toddlers. Enjoy.

The images and description of this toy don't explain it very well.

There are three posts and three tubes situated in a circle. The three posts each have three shapes that slide up and down as you turn the toy. Those shapes do not come off, they just make noise as they clank together. Each tube has a unique shape with a matching toy. These toys have a whistle in them, so that when the shape slides down the tube it whistles. My son walks around with them in his mouth, blowing and sucking on them to make noise.

These tubes are what enable the Battat to function as a shape sorter (unlike most shape sorters). Since the shapes go into tubes, you retrieve them by turning it upside down. That means no lid is necessary, so if your child wants to put the blocks in, he has to put them through the shaped holes.

Though I'm disappointed that there's only one block of each shape, I much prefer this shape sorter to the one I purchased with a removable, non-latching lid. That one is worthless for anything other than a toy bucket.

Buy Toysmith Battat Sound Puzzle Box Now

I'll keep it short and sweet. My 18 month old gets bored fairly easy. He figures his toys out, his puzzles etc and then moves on pretty quickly. We got this shape sorter and he goes back to it time and time again. The sound is really cute. Not too obnoxious. Its the perfect size and weight for him to carry around. He can use the shapes as little noise makers by blowing into them and he's learning shapes and colours at the same time. (Or can). Bought this on the recommendation of a sales associate and am truly glad I did.

I am very familiar with this toy. We had one in my infant center in the Montessori school I worked in for several years. It was always popular with our little ones. It's simple but elegant, very sturdy and they all love the sounds they can make when they figure out how to breathe into each of the 3 shapes. My only complaint is that Battat does not sell replacement shapes. You have to purchase a whole new box if you lose one so be careful!

Want Toysmith Battat Sound Puzzle Box Discount?

The toy worked for about 5 minutes and it was a lot of fun. Then one of the shapes got stuck in its chamber and another shape just stopped making the noise. I contacted the company to say that I liked the toy but wasn't happen with the quality. I asked if there was anything the company could do (replace the toy? replace the shapes?). I was told to return the toy to Amazon. So I did. Wish I could say that I got a new one and it worked great, but their customer service rep didn't offer that. Oh and I had to leave 2 messages and then call again before I could actually talk to anyone.
