Zoobie Pet - Tama the Tortoise

I received this as a birthday gift for my 1 year old son. It is absolutely adorable! The colors are gorgeous, it's very soft and plush, and it's just plain cute! It seems very high quality and well made to me.

My daughter is 18 months old, and she's already loving this turtle. It's a stuff animal and a blanket that she can take everywhere she goes.

Delightful, a stuffed animal that does more than collect dust. We use it for "Family Movie Night" and for car trips out of state.

My daughter got this toy for her baby shower. She's only 5 months but loves it. The blanket zips inside of the animal so it's very hard to lose. Also it has straps so you can hook it on anything. GREAT for the stroller.

I ordered one for both daughters and I was surprised at how large the blanket is. It's very plush as well so overall this was a wonderful surprise to expect a good product but get more than you expected which makes it great in my opinion.

Edushape 7" See Me Sensory Ball, Colors May Vary

The size is perfect for my 1 yr old son.it's safe,fun and educational toy for little kid.

My girls choose this over the regular ball they have. I don't find the spikes to be sharp either. None of my children or any I have ever seen play with one of these has ever gotten hurt in any way by this ball. I would recommend this for sure.

Item is as described: is basically a larger sized ball with nubbins on it that are easier for a little one to use when grabbing a ball. I didn't find the points particularly sharp. It's a good starter ball to throw around the house when you have a kid learning to toss around a ball. The picture on the box even shows a kid sitting on his ball (it'd be small, but they could do it), and I could see it standing up to that kind of abuse. Seems durable.

Vtech Around Town Baby Driver

Pros:

One of the few electronic toys rated OK for 3 month olds

Both sound and light

Several things to do (turn wheel, honk horn, shift up or down, press 2 buttons)

Wheel and gear shift are easy for 2-3 month olds

Horn and small buttons offer something to work for later

Cons:

The purple key looks like a control for the baby, and my daughter wants very much to turn the key, however, it is the on/off and volume control. This is a pretty poor design choice in my opinion. When she finally is able to turn the key, it ends all the fun.

The programming is set so that most of the time, lights and noise are generated in response to baby action. However, sometimes, it just plays a song from start to finish, and only a specific up up tap from the gear shift will end it. I don't like this, because I can see my daughter's face curl up in doubt when she's frantically turning the wheel and the unit isn't responding to her.

Although the plastic parts wipe up nicely, I do wish that the cloth wheel would peel off somehow for better cleaning.

All in all, this is a decent toy. I'd reccommend playing it with your baby. I hold it with the palm of my hand over the key, and when it starts playing a song and not responding to standard input, I just tap the gear shift for her.

Bought this for my daughter because my nephew had one and she instantly fell in love with it. She was 3 months old at the time and started spinning the steering wheel without being shown how. She is 5 months old now and still loves this item. Would definately recommend. There are not a lot of toys like this for young babies and this is a great one.

My baby has had this since he was about 3 months old. He is now six months and likes it even better that he is sitting up. He loves to play with this and move the wheel around. He doesn't push the other buttons as much but loves the wheel. It's great that there are two volume settings because it can get loud and annoying after a while. It also keeps making noise even if baby isn't playing with it. I like that the wheel is soft because my baby likes to eat it as much as he does driving it. I agree with others who wish you could wash the cover to the wheel. Using a wet cloth to clean it is okay but not that effective. It is small enough that we take this with us to restaurants and in the car. We have had good luck with Vtech toys and I think they are very durable. We have never had any problems with them. I highly recommend this toy.

As with many of my baby son's toys this was a gift and he loves it! He has had a lot of "quick fun" with it but his attention is not held by this toy very long, unfortunately. That is for several reasons, but the main one is he had this toy before he could walk and has been walking nearly over a month (about 7 weeks or so) now...and so this toy is not a fascination compared with other newer toys, and the minute bits of stuff he finds in his daily travels, lol!

But the toy is a great 1 for babies to learn the abc song, because my son starting singing it not too long ago, abc "e"...he sang just the other day and yes, he was wrong but he was singing, on-tune with the toy and that was definitely music to my ears since I assumed he would learn from the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD and our reminders like his older brother, who before he was 2...could identify all the letters and their sounds from a dvd I bought on this website!

What an incredibly irritating toy. We got it for our son after he started showing great interest in spinning the knob on our washer. Like another reviewer said, he does love to turn the wheel as fast as possible, but isn't much interested in the other features. However, the Baby Driver will not be daunted. It narrates the action of turning the wheel ("Round and round!"), sings its annoying little tunes and offers helpful tips such as "Fasten your seatbelt!" and "Watch out!" in what I am positive is the most obnoxious female voice ever. I can only take it being turned on for approximately three and a half minutes before I have to turn the little purple key and shut it off. I do wish it had suction cups or at least some rubber bumpers on the bottom to keep it from sliding all over the place when he's playing with it on the floor.

If you can afford Kathe Kruse products are great. Keep your eyes out for Haba toys too. Most are still made in Germany, but some are now made in China. Don't risk your babies health with anything made in China or India. Buy American or Western European!

Child's Costume, Orange Butterfly Costume

The costume I received appears to be good quality and it comes with all accessories (except tights/leggings). My daughter is very excited about it and looks adorable in it. She normally doesn't like dress up or costume play but she loves this one. The only drawback is my daughter is just now going in 4T clothes and this is very snug on her. I would recommend it be sized 2/3T.

I ordered this costume for my 4 year old and went by the size chart. When it came in the mail it was so ridiculously small that it tore as she was putting it on, and she was even smaller than the size chart so I figured it was awesome since she would have clothes on under it. She never got to wear it.

Littlelife Runabout Toddler Daypack

I'm sure Littlelife had every intention to be kind to toddlers by preventing parents from overloading them. From that standpoint, this pack fits its billing.

The dimensions listed (9 x 7 x 2 inches) are mostly accurate, except that the pack is slightly hump shaped, so the two-inch interior depth tapers down towards the top.

For an 14 to 18 month old who wants to help, this pack would be perfect: padded "just right" on the straps and back, quality materials and durable construction to survive a little rough handling and dragging, plus the leash...

However, for our 34 inch tall, 30 pound, not-quite 2½ year-old, it was obviously too small as soon as we opened the package.

What will the Littlelife hold? We were hoping he could carry his knit nap blanket in it, but it's necessary to literally stuff it in (the blanket is about 2x3 feet). Two or three board books, or a small lunch, or a hat and a pullover all are about the ideal sized load. And actually, that's not bad for day-tripping. But is it smaller than a bread box? Definitely -it's too small to hold an average sized loaf of bread (cut me some slack -trying to think of some common frame of reference).

I'll next try a Wildkin Pack 'n Snack Backpack, which has roughly twice the capacity. Undecided if the Littlelife will stick around (possibly in anticipation of our youngest son using it once he's of the right age and ability), or if it's going back. I definitely like everything about this Littlelife except for the capacity.

This is an adorable little backpack, perfect for my two-year-old. When it arrived I thought it would be way too small. It looked doll-sized, but when I put it on my little man it filled his back. Any bigger and I think it would be cumbersome. I was able to put his lunch and toy tractor in it and I had room to spare. The size specs on Amazon didn't seem to match the Littlelife website so I was worried Amazon was selling an older/smaller version (I don't know if one actually exists), but the bag I received seemed to match the slightly large dimensions from the manufacturers website: 4½x6¾x10¼". It is largest at the bottom and then tapers up, but that size seems to suit the body of a little toddler. Overall, I'm pleased with the size and the quality.

I bought this backpack before my son (almost 2 yrs old) and I took our first plane ride. I was worried about how to handle him and my luggage through the airport. This backpack was great! It made him feel like a "big boy" with his backpack on and I was able to keep him close to me in the busy airport. He didn't even notice that I had the strap attached to his backpack. Allowing him to walk through the airport made it so he WANTED to sit once we got on the airplane. My only "complaint" about it is I wish the handle was retractable vs the fixed vinyl strap. The backpack is big enough to hold a diaper or two, some wipes and a few snacks. It fits him just perfectly, not too big or too small, with a firm clip in the front. Very cute design! Highly recommended!

My wife and I love this little backpack. Yes it's small, very small. Prior to ordering it, I knew it would be small. When I first saw it, I was still shocked at how small it was. I guess I am just used to adult backpacks, so the size difference was startling. The size, however, is perfect! My daughter is 13 months old, 29" tall and has about 9" from her neck to her diaper, and this backpack fits her back perfectly. She enjoys wearing it, and every time we put it on her, she wants to go outside and walk around. I can't imagine my daughter wearing a larger backpack. This one is simply perfect for her.

Instead of constantly carrying around a diaper bag (that we seem to always over pack), we decided to downsize to this backpack and get by with the bare essentials while we are in places (we keep the diaper bag in the car now). We can get an outfit, wipes, 2 diapers, and a water bottle in there.

I have not had any issues with this backpack. My daughter has shown no complaints with the backpack, other than when she first started wearing it. I could see where the handle on the top of the backpack could be irritating (it rubs against the back of her head), but she has not complained about it. We do not use the leash, so I cannot attest to whether it is good or bad.

Also, I guess the animal or insect that is located on the side of the bag is random. I ordered the red one thinking that it would have bees on it. The one I have has a squirrel, so I guess you should not expect to get the same animal you see on the pictures on Amazon.

We commute to work/daycare by public transit. At one end of our commute is a 0.5 mile walk through parks and busy streets. Our son, who is now 2 years old, has become increasingly independent. He wants so very badly to walk with us rather than riding in the stroller. But expecting a 2 year old to walk that entire distance and constantly hold your hand isn't reasonable. He wants to explore, to touch the world around him, to stoop down to inspect a ladybug. The constant push and pull of trying to keep him safe when we crossed busy streets but letting him walk on his own when we're somewhere safe was taxing on all of us. So we took a chance and ordered him this little backpack.

Wow what a payoff!

He's thrilled to be carrying his own lunch just like mommy & daddy, we feel comfortable letting him walk beside us without having to always hold hands because the tether strap keeps him from going more than a few feet from our sides.

The pack is very well made with the same sort of details that go into an adult sized pack. The materials are of good quality with a well made zipper and beefy nylon fabric that won't wear out any time soon. The chest buckle keeps the straps firmly in place on his little shoulders as well as turning the pack into a harness that he can't get out of on his own. I looked before buying and most of the other toddler with a parent tether strap don't have the buckle to keep your kid from slipping out of the shoulder straps and taking off across a street without you. The inside of the bag is just big enough for our son to carry a 12oz kid sized Nalgene Tritan full of milk, a 12 oz insulated Thermos for his warm lunch, and a small plastic box with some fruit and pretzels in it.

All in all, I expect we're going to be getting a couple years of use out of this great little bag before he outgrows it and passes it on to a younger sibling!

Fisher-Price Grow with Me Sit-to-Stand Scooter - Blue

Bought this for my 18mo daughter but she really dislikes using it as a seated scooter. Even setup with the higher base for the seated scooter position, it's VERY low to the ground. She doesn't find it easy or comfortable to push with her feet. She keeps trying to stand on it, so I think eventually we'll be able to use it as the standing scooter. I may try to hack it (tape some boxes together to make a higher seat) to get it to work, or just let it sit in the garage for the next few years and buy something else for a seated scooter haven't decided yet.

I really wanted to like this. My 2 yr old son received this as a birthday present from the grandparents. It's really cute and I'm all for buying something that will grow with your child. But the sitting option just doesn't work. The "seat" is WAY too low to the ground so when he sits on it, his knees come up to his chin. It's very awkward and he gets frustrated because he can't scoot anywhere. The stand-up scooter option seems to work fairly well but considering my son is only 2, he doesn't yet have the stability (or desire) to really use it. So basically I can either return it, or let it sit in my house for a couple years until he grows into it. It's going back...we're getting a Fisher Price Lights and Sounds trike. I would only recommend this to someone who wants a scooter. And if you want that, you might as well buy a scooter that grows into a skateboard.

We originally put this together as the seated toy and our daughter didn't like it, the next day we changed it to a scooter and she & her friends ride all the time. She took a couple lessons on how to use one leg to push & hasn't looked back since. We've had it for 3 months, no problems with durability thus far. Good buy for the price, 2 wheels in the front make it easier to steer, wide foot board is great for a beginning rider. I would buy this again & recommend.

Scooter requires dis-assembly to convert. This process is not difficult nor time consuming, however it is annoying. A child may first want to sit, then quickly use it as a scooter. A quick turnaround is simply impossible, as the unit has to be taken apart from one stage and re-assembled in the other. The overall quality of construction appears to be sturdy and able to stand up to the abuse posed by children. The conversion is easy but something that requires a screwdriver and several minutes not a two minute turn, Annoying for both the parent and child.

I read the other reviews when deciding between this product and a skateboard/scooter combo for my 2 yr. old son. One of the reviews I read said that the "trike" option was pretty lame because it was awkward and too small to effectively ride around on. My son is really short so I thought that he wouldn't have a problem riding it as a trike. I was wrong. As a trike, it's to low to the ground so kids can't really scoot around on it. We changed it to the scooter within an hour. As a scooter, my son loves it! I was really wanting something that he could grow with and that was a little more versatile. I should have gone with the scooter that becomes a skateboard.

Fisher-Price Travel Doodle Pro - Girl

Having 4 children means having 4 of everything, especially these great travel doodlers. These are fantastic to keep in the van to entertain the kids whenever we go anywhere. They are also great to use to teach children how to write. This particular item is more expensive than other doodlers and cheaper made. We owned 3 of the Fisher-Price Travel Doodler Pro doodlers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060JVU7M/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0038Q564I&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0ANAQ0RHB5YY1Q8SKWY9) and needed a 4th, in a different color, for our 4th child. The other (2-handled)

travel pro doodlers are preferred by all of the children over this (1-handle) doodler for several reasons:

1. This doodler has a single small handle on top of the item. The other has 2 larger textured handles, which the children use to stabilize the doodler while they write on their lap.

2. The erasing slider is more difficult to move on this doodler. The slider on the other style moves much easier, which is great for the very young children (my 3-yr old triplets).

3. The back on this doodler is UNFINISHED there are sharp edges everywhere! There is complete flat back on the other doodler, which is much more comfortable for the children (and much safer IMHO).

Bottom line, we love doodlers, but do not recommend this particular travel doodle pro. The double handle travel doodle pro is definitely the way to go. It costs less and is all around a better product.

My baby girl is 18 months now and we got this for her a couple of months ago when we noticed our walls started to to turn into graffiti practice:). She loves it, it's very sturdy and well built-and despite getting thrown on the floor 10 times/day, stepped on etc it's like new. They learn fast how to erase what they doodle, the eraser is easy to use. And yes, it's pink. Recommend.

A bonus: our van isn't totally trashed from the girls eating to keep entertained, which used to happen before the Doodle Pros.

This is a really nice doodle board that my kids use all the time in the car. I had thought it would be slightly larger than what it actually is, but the kids still love it. Their drawings are improving all the time. I have purchased similar doodle boards before and will continue to purchase them as they go bad. They don't actually break, but after awhile (many months of using)the erasing ability of the slide stops working and the board stays darker and darker until it's really not useable anymore. This is a really good toy for kids who love to draw.

Plan Toy Punch and Drop

Love love love love this toy. Santa brought it to my then 10-month-old son, and I thought he wouldn't really get into it until he was older. But within a couple of weeks, he was happily banging the balls down with the hammer, and putting them back into the holes. FANTASTIC for both gross and fine motor skills (takes a bit of aiming to get the ball back into the holes). What do I love about this toy?

1. Unlike flashy plastic toys, this actually keeps my son occupied for 30 minutes at a time. I can actually cook an entire meal because of this toy.

2. Extremely durable, fantastic craftsmanship. All wood, dovetailed construction and Plan Toys guarantees the safety of their toys. Unlike other drop and hammer toys, the balls are not plastic (generally, the plastic balls are squeezed through the holes). These balls are wooden and are kept up inside the holes by an additional gear-like piece, which the banging shifts until the balls fall through.

3. At first, I didn't like how there is not "catcher" for the balls when they roll out and go scattering across the kitchen floor, but well...he so loves this toy, he will crawl after the balls, bring them back and continue banging, which gives me even more time to maybe even whip up dessert. Sometimes they get lost under sofas and behind curtains, but oh well.

4. Educational: teaches cause and effect, tool usage, gross motor skills, aiming, colors. Gives him a real sense of accomplishment.

cons:

1. Not sure if ours is defective or if it's a design flaw, but with one of the holes, the ball gets wedged inside about 50% of the time and does not roll out. A little frustrating for him at first because he would think the ball had rolled off somewhere, but once he figured it out, it did add a new interesting twist to the puzzle for him.

2. No storage for the hammer. The Plan Toys miracle pounding toy has a neat little notch for the hammer, wish they had done the same here.

3. Love the wooden balls but man, they sure do some damage when thrown.

I got this toy very early. At 4M my son liked to hold the balls. To date there is no other ball (he owns many) that is so pleasurable to hold. By 6M he enjoyed putting them in the hole (I would retrieve the ball for him sometimes). When he was learning to crawl he would drag himself about holding the ball and pounding it into the floor. He would try carpet then wood. Sigh, I try to remind myself that this will be the first of many pits in the floors while raising a rowdy boy. He is almost 9M and he loves this toy. Sometimes the balls roll away under furniture and will either try to put other balls into the box (doesn't work) or he will play the box. I still haven't given him the hammer yet. I intend to save it until he is older.

The most interesting part of this toy is how long it will hold his attention. I have seen him play with this toy for an alarming amount of time. 35 consecutive minutes has been the absolute longest. Albeit doing different things with the toy not just the punch and drop part. He was particularly interested while learning "in" "out" kinds of concepts.

This means I can take just one toy with us when we, say, fold laundry or do dishes.

Another surprising aspect of this toy is that we can play together. Three balls and two hands makes it easy start teaching sharing. The joy seeing all three balls drop far exceeds his need place each ball in the hole. However, sometimes he does need to push each ball.

I have seen this little boy do many harsh things with toy. I don't think one would be able to tell by looking at it. Very well constructed. There is nothing about this toy that makes me nervous. This includes the color stains of the balls.

I read the good reviews before purchasing as a Christmas present. My 12 month old grandson is extremely active and I thought he would enjoy hammering. The set is well made and heavy. We had to take the hammer away as he was trying to use it on the house windows. The wooden balls are heavy and he throws them which he thinks is great fun, however the dogs now avoid him. I think this may still be a good toy once he is a little older.

My one year old son loves this well-made wooden toy. He pushes the balls with his hand for now & keeps putting them back on top to push through again. He also loves to play with the balls. He'll carry them around, bang them together, try to use them with other toys & we'll roll them back and forth. I think later he'll use the hammer to hit the balls & it will be fun all over again. For now, he uses the hammer on his xylophone!

He has so many plastic disposable toys, many of which are already broken in one way or another, but this is not one of them.

Below is what I wrote yesterday. I contacted Plan directly right after and within 24 hours the president had received my email and had someone send a new one to me. I hope they make the bottom sturdier in the future, but the responsiveness is impressive. I will keep Plan on my list of toy companies.

____________________

This was the first "Plan" product that I purchased for my then 10 month old daughter. When I received it, I was concerned because the bottom is made out of cardboard (you can see it peeking out in the picture) and the holes required such force to get the balls through that my 6 year old didn't want to play with it. Within a month, the bottom was crushed so the toy is unusable. I don't know if she stepped on it, which is my guess, or she hit it with the mallet in frustration because the balls wouldn't go through, but given my daughter is very small and light for her age, the cardboard had to be cheap for her to crush it in. Really, Plan, can't you put plywood on the bottom like you have on the top so it's less likely to break?

Unfortunately, I was too busy until now (3.5 months from purchase) to see if I could get this replaced and now I've missed the window for returns. So, learn from me.

Disney Fairies Toddler Bed with Canopy

I purchased THREE of these beds for my three little girls. I put all three together myself (go girl power!) and just about required therapy afterward. First of all, the quality is utter crap. The plastic pieces are so lightweight, you can squish them in your hand. Yeah! Second, there are approximately ten bazillion screws you have to screw in. But good luck with that, because the holes only line up about half the time and once in awhile, there isn't any hole AT ALL! If you go so far as to get the bed together, just stop there. There isn't any reason to go further. But if you're a glutton for punishment like me, go ahead and assemble the canopy. Be sure and take pictures of it when it's all put together, because it's darling! And it will only look cute for about twelve hours before your child breaks the canopy. It's made out of metal tubing, held together with the most flimsy, brittle, plastic elbows. Imagine constructing a canopy out of paper towel tubes and masking tape. That's a fair comparison of the durability of the canopy. RIDICULOUS. Embarrassing. Unbelievable that people ARE SELLING this stuff. We've had these beds nearly six months and have made COUNTLESS repairs to the canopies with duct tape. (Yeah! That looks nice and princessy, NOT.) I just finished taking all the canopies down and throwing them in the trash, because all three were broken beyond repair. Buyer beware!!

my daughter is 2 and a half. and she refused to sleep in her old bed for the last month, because one of her friends stayed over and wet her old one... no matter what i did she insisted it was still dirty and wanted nothing to do with it. so i set off in search of the perfect replacement since her old one had been given to me used and was still in outstanding condition, i decided to check out this brand and see what they had to offer. then i found this tinkerbell canopy bed with my daughter on my lap, and she fell in love with the picture (massive tinkerbell fan) i was worried when i read the reveiws and saw that some people were saying it wasnt very well constructed, but i put my faith in this brand because it was the same brand as her old one (only difference is the canopy and that the old one was princesses) i am extremely satisfied with this bed, the picture doesnt do it justice. i was worried that since my daughter is on the tall side for 2 and a half, that the canopy might be too low for her, but instead it has plenty of room, she jumped on her new bed all day (with the canopy on it) as far as worries about the canopy frame being flimsy... it doesnt appear as though that will be a problem either, the fram is thin pvc tubing, however, the way it goes together is just with connectors, so the tubing may pop out of the connectors if it is messed with alot (my daughter played with it all day and never once did it pop apart) but i very much doubt if the tubing would become busted (my daughter also pulled on the canopy frame all day) and it is still in perfect shape. she begged me all day if she could go to bed and was more than happy when 8 o clock came around and i told her it was time for bath and bed. for the first time in a month she was asleep before midnight. i give this product 5 stars and recomend it to everyone! and the picture doesnt do this product justice, to see it in person it is absolutly gorgeous. (this bed took me about 2 hrs to assemble with the "help" of my special little girl who had to spread pieces through the entire room. all that is required to assemble it is a philips screwdriver, not included, all the holes were cut perfectly, i had no problems with getting everything to line up. 2 instruction books, one for the bed, one for the canopy. instructions are very clear, with detailed pictures.) i am very pleased i gave this bed a chance. i have noticed some people just have nothing nice to say about any products! so i recommend checking all reveiws written by each person and seeing which people are just not satissfied with any products!

Buy Disney Fairies Toddler Bed with Canopy Now

I put the bed together the first time without the canopy because everyone said how bad of quality it was. The bed looked so plain that I had to put it on. Without the canopy all the tinker bell elements are missing. My 16 month old loves the bed and I have already taught her that the canopy is a "no no" and she is not to touch it. She will lay on her bed and just look up at it. It was easy to put together despite other reviews I have read. All the holes lined up perfectly for me and there was nothing missing. Overall I am satisfied with the bed and so is my daughter. Now I just need to get the making comforter set and we will be all set. I recommend this product to anyone who can control their children when it comes to the canopy since the connectors for the poles are a little flimsy.

The big writing on the box says, "Easy Assembly." Three hours, one screw driver injury which wouldn't stop bleeding all over my carpet later, the bed was assembled w/ my daughter asleep... in MY bed. She loves the bed for nap times, and we're still working on night times. The canopy is fragile and she decided to grab it while climbing up onto the bed, so it snapped on day three at one of the "T" pole attachment sites, a plastic insert to hold the skinny poles of the canopy together. The website is supposed to sell replacement parts but you can only look them up w/ the model and lot numbers which come on the box, and which are not written on the instruction manual anywhere. Still can't find it on the internet, and box was thrown out on day two. So now we have a brand new toddler bed with a floppy canopy and the product has been discontinued. I'm still not having any success finding a way to replace the plastic parts of the canopy. If I do find them, I will buy multiples to last me at least a year or two. This bed was difficult to assemble, for a 12-year army veteran/ former Apache / Longbow helicopter pilot, and fairly self-sufficient handy woman around the house. Even harder if your two kids are climbing all over you (husband is deployed and not here to help). Holes did not line up and took much strong-arming to get the screws to properly attach pieces. The bed itself is "cute," and sturdy enough. Also, my daughter thinks it's a novelty item, but likes it. My 10 month old son thinks it's really fun to practice climbing up and down on. So it has its place. Mattress does not come with bed, but that's no problem if you already have a crib mattress. Pretty and sturdy bed, fragile canopy, replacement parts are thus far not easy to find. I'd buy it again, but only if my husband were here to put it together. He's WAY more patient than me! :D

My daughter loved this bed! The canopy is what makes this bed to special. It is adorable, BUT, as others have stated... the quality is horrible! The canopy fell apart after a couple of weeks. We were so disapointed. I would not purchase this bed.

Rasta Imposta Dumb and Dumber Lloyd Christmas Tuxedo Costume

This outfit was great and people loved it. However, it was not as pictured. In the photos you see a very refined, suit like outfit, with great looking pants & cane. In reality all you get is a very thin polyurethane outfit, which comes very wrinkled (and tags stating you can't iron it!). There is no cane, and the hat was crumbled. The suit pants you see in photos are not what you ge in the package. My fiance was able to iron it out using a wet towel so that it looked presentable.

Looks good...felt great. Was a HUGE hit at the three halloween parties i went to.

I dind't use the hat, b/c i actually cut my hair to look like lloyd christmas. (Which i reccomend doing....in the movie, lloyd doesnt wear a hat much. Peopel recognize him by his hair, mang.)

My brother and I dressed as Dumb and Dumber for a Halloween party and won funniest costume! These look very close to prom quality tuxedos after we had them pressed by the dry cleaner. They come in standard costume packaging and are very wrinkled straight out of the bag. I would buy again! Thanks amazon!

Was a hit at the Halloween party. Biggest thing is it will come very wrinkly so you need iron it or throw it in the dryer for a while.

Worked great as a costume. Got a lot of laughs and applauds. It is a tad on the cheaper side but what do you expect for the price paid? An actual suite? No complaints.

Large Double Sided Infant Crib Mirror 100% surface wash NICU Approved

Overall this mirror is an excellent developmental product. The mirror is not distorted, it's easy to clean, doesn't scratch easily, is large yet lightweight, and the velcro system makes it easy to attach to and remove from (in case of medical emergency)our hospital cribs. The only issue we are having is that in some of the mirrors the white edging is separating from the mirror. It has not happened to all of them and it appears to be an issue with the glue. I would highly encourage Genius Babies to revise the type of glue being used because that's the only think keeping my review from being 10 stars!

Edited to add: I spoke with Genius Babies and they stated that they use non-stick tape to minimize the toxin exposure created by stronger glues. Overall, their customer service department was wonderful

I am so happy to have found this product!! I am a nurse with Carolina's Medical Center in the nursery and this product is a must have for newborns. I like the option of having a mirror on one side and black, white and red geometric shapes on the other. The mirror is shatterproof and easy to clean which makes it ideal for playtime. The velcro straps make mounting the mirror easy and convenient.

What can I say...it's a mirror and babies love mirrors. What I do like is the size, the fact that it's not glass (for obvious reasons) and the geometric shapes on the back. When my son gets bored with the mirror, we turn it around and he's entertained again. I intended to buy another, as we currently use the one for my little one's play area rather than the crib.

The only con is that the velcro straps aren't long enough to go around the top frame of my crib. I solved this by using two velcro straps to make one long strap (it comes with 4 straps total). As it was, I was only able to secure the top part the bottom part wasn't strapped down and so little arms/legs could get stuck under it. Not a big deal I will eventually go and buy longer straps once I put it back in the crib. Not really a complaint, more a wish that they would provide longer straps.

This is a great product. I put it in my daughter's bassinet when she was just 3 weeks old. I started with the geometric side....she loved the contrasting colors and would stare at them for several minutes at a time. She is now 3.5 months old and still loves looking at herself in the mirror the quality of the mirror is great...no distortion at all.

This mirror is a must-have in child-raising. We put it on our son's changing table so we could watch each other; moved it to the bathroom sink when he was tall enough to wash his own hands, but not tall enough to see the mirror; and he just took it to college to use for shaving in the shower. It's amazing the things you can do with a big, unbreakable mirror. $25 divided by 18 years is about $1.40/year. Now that's a good investment!

green sprouts Ring Cool Soothing Teether

This is the nicest ring I have ever seen for BPA free and water only filled. Very nice and useful product! Hard to describe but every smaller circle has an abrasion on it and helps with the teething process for a child. (Bumps for little gums to chew on in other words)

I bought this along with the stacking cups (meant for 6 months plus putting them away for him) and the keys. So far my child loves the keys more than the ring cool soothing teether. I am sure in time he will love this item as well. He is only four months old and this is a little heavy for him to hold currently. I love that it's only made out of water and is BPA free!

UPDATE-NINE MONTHS OLD

my child loves this teether so much I am buying another one. We have the apple teether made by a different company. He doesn't care for that one as much. The apple teether over time seems like there is not enough water. I am buying another one of the green sprout ones because I want one in the fridge at all times and the water in the teether is lasting a very long time for as much as it's been bit on and stuck in the fridge. The teether is going strong!

The Green Sprout stacking cups are a big hit in the tub! They have holes in the bottom of them and shapes that I know I will use with my child in the future for sand and possibly art projects!

This teether is not flexible enough for a young infant and only at about 8 months can my babies mouth open far enough to comfortably chew on this toy.

Most teethers out there are hard and made of bad matterials, this one is soft and made of silicone. My son loves it.

I recently received this Green Sprouts teether after ordering it in a desperate attempt to soothe my little one's teething woes. Though I really dig the "green" element of it, I'm not extremely impressed. My 11 month-old didn't take to it (not the products fault, but still). Also, it seems a tad flimsy as far as the plastic goes. It is thicker than I thought it would be (as in each individual disk is more voluminous) so it isn't ideal for smaller babies either. I'm sure some babies love it, mine simply was not one of those.

Want green sprouts Ring Cool Soothing Teether Discount?

This teething ring is a little bigger, thicker & heavier than my regular teething pretzel ring. My 6 month old can hold on but not for more than a few minutes with one hand. Also, since it is quite thick, my baby's hands get very cold after holding this and sometimes that makes her not want to hold it. It does the job for $4 though.

TY Pluffie Sweetly White Dog with Red Hearts

My grandson had the one with the black hearts. He was so excited to have the one with red ones as well

My daughter received this as a gift when she was 2 months old for Valentines day, it is by far her favorite baby! "Red puppy" has gone everywhere with us, I have probably thrown him in the washer and dryer over 100 times and he is still going strong. He is not quite white anymore more of a light gray color and has no fluffiness inside his stomach anymore but he has never torn or ripped, no loose strings at all. She will be 3 in a couple of months and we recently lost red puppy at the store luckily my husband was able to go back to the store and someone had turned him in so we were able to get him back! But it scared us enough to order a back up! This puppy is so cute and a great baby for any little one!

Justice League Child's Robin Tutu Dress

My 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.

I bought this for my daughter for Halloween (her brother was Batman). I was unsure how the quality of the costume would be, so many these days are just awful, this one however is fantastic! It is absolutely darling on her, fits great and will last for lots of dress up time in the future.

LOVE this costume!

North American Bear Company Baby Long Legs Puppy Squeaker, 8"

I purchased this toy from Amazon based on a recommendation from the independent consumer review group The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio. They have quite the list of toy recommendations for babies and their review for the 8-inch version of this toy sounded good.

Well, it's an adequate toy but my 22 week doesn't have any interest in it yet. It's surprising that he doesn't even want to grab it to put it in his mouth, as he will put most anything in there at this stage. I'm reviewing this after one month of use, so he was about 4.5 months when I presented him with it. I'm giving it a high review though, based on the quality and potential appeal to other babies (would also make a cute little gift for an adult). Also, it came recommended from the aforementioned toy review group so maybe other kids would take to it and when my son gets older he might like it more.

It's smaller than a beanie baby type of stuffed animal, and thinner. It's the appropriate size for a baby and the skinny legs and floppy ears certainly make it easier to grasp, but it's a pretty high price at 12 bucks for such a small little guy. The quality is there though, so I don't totally regret the purchase, and the black and white colors are prefect for a baby. If my son suddenly takes a shining to it I'll update my review, but where it stands now, not one of my best toy purchases.
