Baby Reviews

This toy looks wonderful - full of learning opportunities and fun to play with for a three-year-old. However, things don't work. The people don't fit in the hospital bed and they slide out of the wheelchair. After one frustating evening of play I returned it. I'll stick with Playmobil from now on!

My daughter got this last year, when she was five. It is a great set with several people. She loves the tiny babies and their little crib. Would be great for a soon to be big sister, or any child. I don't know why the other reviewer had problems, maybe her child was too young. The Sweet Streets line is great, highly recommended!

The size and detail on this is remarkable. Doctor is a female which is a great message for the girls. One patient is African-American (the little girl with a cast pn her leg). There is no male figure which would have been nice. The other patient is an obviously expectant mother. Wheelchair actually rolls. As we have a disabled family member, we were thrilled to find ANY play set with a wheelchair. This is a must-have set.

This was given as a gift to my 13 month old for her 1st birthday. She ABSOLUTELY LOVES it! She started a game with my husband and I a few months ago where she would take the binky out of her mouth, try to stick it in ours, and (after trying to stop her LOL), if she did get it in our mouths, we would make a funny "pop" noise when she ripped it out. This Elmo basically does just that. You take Elmo's binky, and put it in his mouth. He makes a noise like "slurp" and starts humming a song. You can't hear the words because the binky is in his mouth! Then, if you take the binky out of his mouth it makes like a "pop" sound and he sings the same song with words this time. He sings the song without his binky twice, then asks for his binky back.

Now my daughter doesn't much TV, and doesn't even really know who Elmo is, it is the whole concept she loves. This is a toy that has a game that she made up herself, so she just ADORES it. She carries it around everywhere, and cracks up over and over, every time. I love that it teaches cause and effect- putting the binky in makes him sing, taking it out makes a funny noise, and also makes him sing different. Then when he says "Elmo wants his binky now please", she knows to give it to him.

The only complaint I have about this toy is that putting the binky in Elmo's mouth is a little difficult for my daughter. She is younger than the manufacturer's recommended age, but my 3 year old sometimes has a tough time of it as well. HOWEVER, this toy is still a ton of great fun, but I just wanted to mention this.

I am definately very very happy with this toy all around, it makes my 13 month old AND 3 year old crack up and giggle on a daily basis. FUN for little ones.

I BOUGHT IT TODAY FOR MY 3 MONTH OLD AND, I'M NOT HAPPY WITH IT. IT'S TOO BULKY AND HEAVY. SCARED IT MIGHT FALL ON MY LIL GIRL IF NOT TIED TIGHTLY ON THE CRIB, I PREFER THE ORIGINAL KICK AND PLAY PIANO. IT'S THINNER AND LIGHTER THEN THE PEEK A BOO. THE PEEK A BOO PIANO KEYS SEEM HARDER TO MAKE SOUNDS. MY DAUGHTER REALLY NEEDS TO KICK IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO MAKE MUSIC. THE ORIGINAL ONE WORKED WAY BETTER!! MY OLDEST CHILD USED TO KICK IT SOFTLEY AND IT STILL MADE SOUNDS. MOST LIKELY WILL RETURN TOMORROW.

My baby does enjoy this toy. He likes to kick it and hear the music, and I like that it has 3 modes - it will just play music for 10 minutes, the baby can kick it to play songs, or it can be set to play like a keyboard when kicked. The only problem (one I see with many crib toys right now) is that it doesn't fit my crib. It has 3 ties that are meant to be attached to the spindles of a crib. The problem is most cribs now (such as mine) have solid ends, and you can't tie anything to them. This toy is meant to be used at the end of a crib, and it simply won't fit. If you have a crib that has slats or spindles on the ends then you will be fine. I don't, so the only way for me to use this toy is to hold it while my baby kicks at it.Fun for him, but not for me.

We got this as a shower gift. My daughter is two months old and already loves it! I put it on it's continous play mode and she will just sit there watching it and dancing her feet in the air! I am able to get my morning showers in because of this... now you know it's worth it just for that! haha..

This is the cutest little doll and my 3 month old daughter absolutely loves it! It has bright colors, the "crinkly" fabric that babies love, and lots of different textures. Plus, it has the little link so you can clip it on to a carseat, play gym, stroller, etc. My daughter's face lights right up and she smiles when I bring out "Emily".

We have travelled a bit with our daugther. We would bring one toy and it was this doll and it would, and still does, keep her entertained. It has been durable and still looks new.

My daughter was given this doll as a gift and she still gets excited everytime that she sees it. She loves to crinkle her dress and play with the rattle on the front of the doll. The rings make it easy for her to grab and she loves all of the bright colors. She used to cry when she got in her car seat but this doll acts as such a great distraction!

My 3 year old absolutely loves this playset!! The idea of a dog taking care of the babies instantly appealed to her love of animals. The drawbacks from a parent's point of view are that the accessories are very small and there is no storage case for all of the accessories. Overall, this is a great playset for the money.

This playset along with the other Doggie day care sets is adorable. The only problem is that the accessories are tiny, I mean really tiny. so half of the "extras " I had to take away because the kids want to put them in their mouth or the puppy was finding them.

I love Doggie daycare! My daughter plays with this toy for hours, she asks me for a towel sits at her little table and I fill up the bath tub with water and she just has a ball bathing the babies and watching thier dirty faces come clean.

i bought it for my neice's first christmas. she enjoyed it for about 2 minutes, them went on to the next present. i guess because it didn't have bells or whistles, it couldn't keep her attention, but she is still very precious. maybe next year she will be able to appreciate her. (she's not even one)

Great first doll! My daughter got her first for her 1st Christmas, at first it sat on her chest looking cute! Then one day she asked me to get it down and that was all it wrote! We are on our 5th doll. She calls it her little baby. She takes it every where and sleeps with it every night. Washes well! Get doll!

It was a shower gift. The recipient loved it. So did everyone else at the baby shower. The mother took the doll, and held it on her lap and said "I'll keep this." So cute!

I bought this toy for my 6 month old son to help him spend time on his tummy. The nice thing about it is you can touch it anywhere and it makes noise, either a water sound or music. My son also enjoys chewing on the toys that are attached. It's worth the purchase and the price is reasonable.

I got this as a gift at my baby shower. My son is 4 months now and he did not really start paying attention to this until about a month ago. I had originally attached it to the crib but it was too high up for him to reach it or to be able to see himself in the mirror. I have since attached it to the changing table and it is a great distraction for him when I am changing his diaper or getting him dressed. He just lays there and looks at himself and smiles or pulls on the starfish (he likes the starfish the best for some reason). The mirror makes noises if you bump it or pull on the starfish, crab or clam and he is so surprised when he makes the noises himself!

My infant son just loves this toys. He reaches out and pull on the toys to hear the music. It's great for tummy time!!

This play parachute holds less air than a plain old bed sheet. We spent an extra 10 bucks on a real Gymboree play parachute from eBay with much more fun results.

My two year old son fell in love with parachutes during his Gymboree play classes. After just a few weeks, I decided that I needed one for home so we could continue the fun there and invite the neighborhood children to join in.

All kids love parachutes and there is so much you can do with them. He loves being dragged around the house in it, hiding under it, using it to send one of his teddy bears flying through the air and making it go up and down with the other kids.

The only reason that this product receives three stars is that it was smaller than I expected. The product dimensions are clearly stated but I had difficulty transferring those dimensions into how it would work. It is difficult for the kids to run under the parachute because it is so small.

Very good for the price but I will need to buy a larger one.

I bought this parachute to use with my kids and my neighbors, which will happen come spring. I also run a moms group at my local library and bring it with me most weeks. The kids are all 3 and under and love it each time we use it. They help hold it, run under it, stand under it and get static hair and even sit on it and we spin them around singing songs. It is very large, and great for a group of kids. I would recommend to all. Enjoy!

We have two of these for my triplets. It's ok. It's small though, better for a smaller child. The walking part with it left a bit to be desired. The wheels don't roll smoothly and there isn't allot of room for them to walk when pushing it. Early walkers still have a wider stride so they need more room. There's not allot of seat room. It fits my tinier daughter but not my larger son. It has no gut room for him. So it's ok for a tinier child.

I just bought this for my ten month old son. He just started to take steps on his own so I thought this might help. He is able to pull himslef up with it and uses it on our hardwood floor too. It did take him a couple of tries to pull himself up without tipping it over but now he has no problems.
He has not used it as a ride on toy yet. Be careful when installing the antenna if done improperly it will get in the way when used as a ride on toy.
I would suggest this toy.

As soon as i put it together he started walking with it.Its great!!

I bought James the Red Engine for a birthday present for my grandson and he loved it. It arrived in excellent condition and on time for the party.

If your child likes playing with Thomas and Friends trains, James is another one of the main characters in the series. His 6 wheels are not as big as Gordon's, yet not as small as Thomas', but James is just proud of being who he is: a red steam engine. He pulls a tender full of coal, so he won't run out of fuel like diesels do.

James' personality is a little snooty, and he thinks that his jobs are the most important. Eventually, these thoughts will land James in trouble. Rest assured, James will always get his work done, which is why I recommend him for your collection.

Maybe it's the red color. Maybe it's the coal burner. In any case, my daughter (almost two) seems to grab this one first when we visit the train tables in the stores. And in the stores, the trains are THE thing she wants to play with. Push them up the hills, down the hills, across the track... and the track is easy for her to put together.
By the way, consider making your own 16" tall train table rather than purchasing the commercially available ones. There are plans online that are a fraction of the cost.
