Baby Reviews

My 4-year-old is a sandbox nut and I wanted to buy only one that he could grow with. This sandbox is it. Pouring rain all day did not bother it - all the sand and toys inside stayed dry. The lid works fine, I wish it were sturdier to support heavier children but then the lid would likely be too heavy for one adult to put on. An arrow or other marker on the lid would be helpful to show which way it goes on. This was a perfect choice for my digging, construction, building guy for years to come.

MY GRANDSON REALLY ENJOYS THE SANDBOX THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND IS EVEN WITH THE TOP ON,IT FILLS WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS AND BECOMES MUD.

My kids love this sandbox! Despite other's experiences, our sand has stayed completely dry during rainstorms. It has rained at least 10 times since I bought this sandbox, and not one drop of water has reached the sand. Two criticism -- the crane is slightly difficult to operate, and the lid is not sturdy enough for kids to play on like the pictures on the website show.

I was considering buying a tricycle, but I'm glad I went with the RF trike instead. It's the perfect size for my 21 month old daughter, and she loves to push it around or just sit on it. She especially enjoys ringing the bell - a very nice touch! I also love the look - in a sea of plastic and character logos, it's a refreshing classic toy!

Our son received this as a gift from his Aunt on his first birthday, and once he was old enough to start using it (about 16 months or so), it quickly became his favorite toy. It is a wonderful and well-built trike, and we have lots of great memories of watching him ride around on it non-stop. Our son wore out two pairs of sneakers from pushing around on it, but the trike itself shows no visible wear and tear. It's in perfect condition to be handed down to his little sister once she's ready to ride.

I bought this trike a year ago for my nephew's first birthday. At first I thought he might be a too young for it, but he caught on to it very quickly and even learned to ring the bell right away. Within a couple of weeks he was tearing around the house with it. My nephew turns 2 in May and to this day still LOVES to ride it. Of all the toys I've (and his uncles and grandparents) spoiled him with he still plays with this one as if he just received it. I've been complimented time and again on what a great purchase this toy was, it's withstood my nephew's rough and tumble nature (he's such a boy) and he still loves to ride it. He's received MANY gifts that cost so much more, but what I deal I got on this toy...as I said, he still loves it and I maintain favorite Aunt status :)

I brought this puzzle for my daughter who is 3 years old. She seems to enjoy a lot, the one thing that I love about this game is that it keeps her busy for a long time.

My three-year-old and I have had so much fun with the pattern blocks. He can put them in place on the boards, but it's even more fun to use them in other creative ways. We also have two nice sets of building blocks that we use to make "castles." We use the pattern blocks for decorations, parquet floors, sidewalks, etc., in and around our elaborate castles. I probably wouldn't recommend "throwing away" the boards that come with the set--but I WOULD recommend using them in other ways, too. Great fun!

I bought this toy because my children loved to play with pattern blocks at science and art museums. This was the only toy I found with real wood blocks that were the size and feel of the toys they had played with earlier. Using the blocks alone, my children loved to create an endless number of beautiful geometric patterns. The toy encourages creativity and promotes mathematical thinking.

My daughter, who was five or six at the time, tried using the picture boards. At her age, she was able to do it although it was frustrating when the pieces moved out of place. For awhile, she thought that she had to use the picture boards in order to play with the toy properly. Once she got over that, we had a wonderful toy again.

If you throw away the picture boards from the beginning and let your child's creativity take over, you have a 5 star toy that even older children and adults enjoy tinkering with.

cute cabbage patch outfit. just right for little girls who loves dolls, princesses, and tea partys

very durable. my son uses it for a step stool more than he plays it. we had to remove the sticks cause the string was too short.
but it has been good for a little fun for my son. 25$ is a little high.

He is 8 months old and I put away the sticks because I am afraid he will poke his eyes out with it, plus he still does not have the coordination to use them. He likes to bang on the keys to make lots and lots of noise. So far it is quite durable and light enough for my son to pick it up, flip it, and bang on the bottom of it. I do not know about other parents but I still think that the sticks are a hazard if they have it near their nose, mouth or eyes and trip or fall over. I wouldn't chance it but then again maybe I am over sensitive. I got it for cheap, 19.95 shipped and buy one get one free. One for my son and one for his cousin. Good bargain, great toy (one of his favorites now)and I feel pretty good about purchasing it with the exception of the sticks, although he likes to bang on the xylophone with his hard plastic balls.

This is one of her favorite toys that she received for her birthday. She will dance to the background music non-stop.

I wasted my money when I purchased this....they're cheap, thin and very itchy at least on my skin and I can't even imagine my baby's.....I use them as under sheets and I use this cotton very nice and soft receiving blankets I bought in sears on top and that does it for me.....also I bought other cotton sheets but if too thick then it won't fit good so your better off buying other ones from different brands or just using that one and then somethin else on top.

Actually, I used the sheets only 1 time...like the other reviewers stated, the fabric is not at all soft, but stiff and rough. And yes, the fabric is very thin. I tried washing the sheets a couple times, but the softness just wasn't there. And like the one reviewer, it seemed to pull up on the floor of the pack and play and pop right off. I ended up just wrapping a soft fleece blanket around the floor mat when the baby was in there (which, thankfully, wasn't very much).

We own these sheets and they are great specially for my nephew..they seem "thin" but actually they are not to thin...i washed them many times from baby puke...these sheets has saved our travel yard from the evil smell of vomit! and i put a light weight blanket under him (on top of the sheet.) when he was a newborn/1month old...these sheets kept our play yard very clean!! and we love them and will buy more when baby #2 comes! we also have the yellow one and this green one..they both get used daily and washed daily (if puke happens) and we love the easy on and easy off!

My son would crawl all over my house just to play with this thing! When my friends would come over with their children of all ages they would play with this so much I had to hide it from them! lol My friend kristas son brandon who is 3 he couldnt get enough of this one! I think every mom should never go without one!

a great buy! my child began playing with this when he was 3 months old! he loved to spin the ball and it helped him learn cause and effect. As he got older, he would pick up the ball and roll it around! he loves it! it is a favorite for him and all of his baby cousins who recommended it to us! great gift for new parents!

Our son fell in love with this toy in the church nursery when he was only 6 months old. He played with it for hours, week after week until we decided to get it for him for his first birthday. No, your child will not be spouting off the alphabet by one year, but it WILL help him developmentally.

The product promotes hand-eye coordination from spinning the ball and also fine motor skills by pushing the letter buttons. My son loved this toy so much that he would not go to sleep without it. He is now 2 1/2 (still loves this toy) and is now spouting off the alphabet with limited help. Your child may not learn his ABC's overnight, but we all know that children learn from repitition- so this toy will definitely aid in his learning.

Other benefits: the toy plays 27 different tunes, the ball is removable for other types of play, and in addition to saying the letter names it also speaks the sounds of the letters so children can learn phonetics.

Hope your child enjoys this toy as much as ours has!

We bought this toy for our one year old. Our hope was that it would entertain her on her first plane ride. The toy kept her attention for about three minutes. The volume was so low (even on the higher setting) that it couldn't be heard over the noise of the plane. She wouldn't play with it when we reached our destination either. Maybe the volume was defective, but the toy wasn't what I was hoping for.

My daughter absolutely loved this phone. But, like some other reviewers, we had problems with its durability. After only a few months of gentle baby play only on car trips and in restaurants, first the green button started to stick, and then all the others stopped responding to touch. She was crushed, and I admit I was disappointed that my magic solution to public grumpiness had abandoned me.

So now it's time for baby number 2, and, believe it or not, since it was one of the best baby toys I've seen, I am going to buy another one, fingers crossed. I hope this one lasts longer.

I got this phone for my first baby, that now is 4yrs old, I have a ( month old and she love it, just like her big sister did, durable, fun...great!!
