Baby Reviews

Received as a 1st birthday gift for my daughter. Eventually we stopped using the drums in the bath because water was getting trapped in the floatation bits and not draining. She is now two and uses the sticks to beat on everything but the drums. Not my favorite gift since kitchen pots and pans work just as well and hold her interest longer.

These drums are great!!!! all 4 of my kids...ages 10, 8, 6, and 17 months, love these!!!! Bath time takes much longer since I bought these and the water flutes. (and a little confesion...I like them as well!) I highly recommend these for any age child and their parents!!!!

My daughter was given these drums when she was 13mths and loved them as soon as she got them, they are now requested most nights at bathtime. A great buy.

My daughter got this toy when she was 2 months old and she still loves it (at 8 months). It was the only toy that would keep her entertained on car trips at first.

I took one star off due to some minor problems: 1) it is not machine washable (unless you don't mind loosing the barking sound) and 2) the battery can't be replaced.

We call him Seizure Dog because the color scheme is, frankly, almost nauseating to grown-up eyes. But babies react to this little guy like no other toy I've seen. It was really the first thing that my daughter ever responded to outside of food and people. She used to fall asleep holding some part of Seizure Dog's anatomy and would wake up playing with one of the various dangly bits. The high-contrast and bright primary color scheme really draws infants' eyes, especially from generally (and appropriately!) sedate and relaxing nurseries.

We now buy Seizure Dogs for all of our friends with babies. The next one we get will be the 6th one of these we've purchased, so I'd have to say we highly recommend it!

We have had this toy since my son was 3 weeks old...he is almost 7 months now, and he has loved it all along. It still looks great and still barks, when we travel we are always sure to take "red" Thomas' favorite toy! It has lots of 'chewable' pieces and it attatches to almost all of his travel gear.

I bought this for my daughter when she was 7 months. She is now three years old and can finally push on the pages hard enough to make it work. She actually spends more time just looking at the pages than actually using the Little Leappad as it is intended. We now have a second daughter who is 12 months as she has experienced the exact same thing.

We do play together with the girls using this product; however both my children are quite independent and want to do this for themselves. When they can't get it to work - primarily because it requires to hard of a touch to activate - they get frustrated and move on to a new toy.

I am a huge fan of LeapFrog. However, must admit I am disappointed in this product. It is not their best. Due to our experience with this product, we have opted not to purchase the Leappad for our daughter and instead went with a competitor's product. Hopefully, we will have better luck.

This is a great investment. I just think kids need to want to sit and look at books. Our son was 18 months before he wanted to pay attention. Now he uses it daily. :)

We got this for my son when he was 9 months old. He wasn't intrested with it until he was about 20 months old; but now its great!!! He has played with it daily for about 6 consecutive months now. The noises are realistic and the voices very clear. I love that there is noise level adjuster as well.

We recieved this playmat at our shower along with the Baby Einstein playmat. My son LOVES the Baby Einstein mat but is pretty bored by this one. On the Baby Einstein mat, he kicks his feel and waves his arms while smiling away, but on the Fischer Price mat he just lays there.

The toys are hanging too high for him to hit to activate the bird's movement, and on the flip side, the bird hangs too low. I tried lowering the toys with some extra lincs and one of them hit him in the head and since they're hard plastic, it made him cry. I have to position him with his feet next to the base of one of the bars so he can kick the bar to activate the bird. The bird just doesn't interest him at all, it moves pretty jerky and doesn't have anything flashy to attract and keep his attention.

The mat does have lots of cute things for tummy time play, the one advantage of this mat over the Baby Einstein mat. But I'd still say that if you have an active little baby who's hard to entertain, this playmat isn't for you.

This play mat is wonderful and has so many different items that keep my daughter entertained. We purchased when she was 2 weeks old when the doctor suggested we start on tummy time. We will lay her on her stomach and shake the dragon fly rattle, which detaches, and she will move towards us. Other times we will play with the butterfly on the mat, whose wings make a crackling sound. There is another dragon fly on the mat that squeeks. At about 5 weeks we finally installed batteries (it takes 4 "C"). The bird doesn't really capture her attention yet, but is just the cutest thing that I have ever seen. There are a few more toys and a mirror that she also is too young to understand yet but that's good because it means that this play mat will last us for some time. Like I said in the title, worth every penny!!

I bought it for my daughter when she was about 4 months old. If I would of known she was going to love it i would have got it sooner. She had so much fun and kept her very entertained. She outgrew pretty soon. I recomned you buy when baby is 2 months.

I bought this item as a gift for a relative who is a new parent.
But, before I wrapped it I gave it a test run on my ceiling.
I'm generally pleased with the product, but the stars are a little blurry. I give it 4 out of 5 stars on the rating scale. (no pun intended). The reflected stars are soothing and the new parents seem to like it.

My husband and I actually bought the turtle for ourselves. It sits on a chair in our bedroom - we turn it on every night before bed. The turtle is very cute and has three color lights to choose from (blue, white and green). The stars are kinda blurry with the white light, but are clear with the green and the blue. The light is soft and lasts just long enough to get to sleep.

My 1 year old son has never been one to play with toys. He'd rather play with the tv controller or the cordless phone. But a couple weeks ago we bought him this and he LOVES it. He's played with it more than he has ever played with any toy. He loves to put the blocks in and dump them out. He also likes to stick his head in the empty bucket and make noise! I've taught him to put the blocks through the shape sorter. This is great toy.

My Nephew received this block sorter.
Very few toys can claim to pass the tests of being interesting and educational throughout such a long span in the baby-into-toddler period.

The block sorter itself is a tub about the size of a half-gallon milk jug. The sorter lid sits atop the tub; it fits securely but doesn't lock down with any tabs or snaps that would frustrate a child. On the flip side, this means that turning it over dumps the blocks everywhere, although that's a primary means of enjoyment for our two-year-old now!

The set comes with about a dozen blocks in assorted colors (red, blue and green) and shapes (circle, square, triangle and star). All of the pieces are solidly constructed for lots of use. The blocks are sized appropriately to be easily grasped by baby hands without being so small as to present a choking hazard.

The baby/infant/toddler toy market is flooded with battery-operated, hyperactive button-pressing sound machines disguised as "learning" toys. It's great to find one such as this that takes a comparatively simple concept and pays big dividends in fun and learning. Its low price and quality construction make Baby's First Blocks an excellent value as well.

I Normally Say "put the block in the tub" or "put the car in here" and he does and he loves his blocks cause he can chew and thorw them at the floor and "dump" them all out and make me clean them up!

Over all its a great toy for any age infant/toddler!

We purchased this toy for our son when he was about 6 months old and he has played with it ever since. He loves to dump the blocks out of the bucket and put them back in again. He also likes banging them together. This is one of his favorite toys...and one of ours too because there is no annoying music!

My daughter got this with the play wall and it fell on her as soon as she could pull up. Mattel was very helpful when I notified them, they asked me to return the item to them and sent me a full refund. I will continue to buy fisher price (who is owned by Mattel) because of the excellent customer service.

Good Item for the $. But, if you have a little guy or gal who isn't interested in crawling, like I do, just make sure to watch so they don't pull the tunnel on top of them.

Excellent customer service. Prompt shipping. No hassel. Highly recommend! Will buy again from Amazon.com

Great idea! The bound book is sweet, not cheesy at all, nice quality. Makes a great gift for grandparents. My teenagers even enjoyed making them.

I bought this kit for my 6 year old daughter. She couldn't wait to start drawing. She dictated the story for each page and drew extra "love notes" on the remaining pages, and even deticated it to her Nan Nan. We opted to add the "About the auther" with a photo! My daughter did get impatient waiting for the book to come back,.. but since Katrina the mail has been very unreliable. Finally, her package arrived and she LOVED it! We rushed it right over to her Nan Nan. It is a perfect little book, that will be cherished forever. I've already bought 2 more!!

Wonderful product. We bought this as a gift for my son's 7th birthday as a fun incentive to get him a little writing and spelling practice. He loved to make his own books at home with computer paper and the stapler, so a real book was a huge hit. He thought this was great because it is a real bound book with his own words and pictures. His book will be a cherished keepsake and I'm sure it will be great fun to look at when he is grown.

My daughter has had this toy for 3 months - she's 11 months old. She has no interest in it other than to carry it around and chew on the antenna. I'm disappointed with the graphics and the music/noises - it's very montone.

I wish this phone was a little more realistic looking as my one year old daughter favors an old cell phone to this phone.

This phone is actually fun. Since the design is more like the modern wireless phones my 16 month old likes to put it on his ear and pretend that he is talking over the phone just like momy. He sometimes puts the phone on my ear so I can play too. Unlike the other phones that have a wire and look like the older phones we used to have this one is best and it teaches numbers, letters and tune songs but note that for 1 button you get 3 letters at once and the tune songs are cut so eventhough the song is longer they cut the song half way...I dont know why but thats that. Overall its okay and my baby likes it.

my daughter loved the flutterbye dreams soother, but it doesn't last long at all. I have returned the item to the store 4 times and got a new one each time and none of them worked. The first one the sound stopped working, I put in new batterys didn't help. The second one the ceiling lights stoped working changed the batterys didn't help. Third one the birds stopped moving changed the batterys didn't help. Fourth one the inside lights where the birds are stopped, of course I changed the batterys each time with new batterys and I tried the batterys on other toys to see if the batterys or ok and the batterys was ok. Ive been through 4 of flutterbye dreams soothers and I just gave up and got a different brand, I got Vtech soother and haven't had any problems with it.

My little loves the show on the ceiling , but when it arrived the amazon box looked to be opened and tape shut at least twice same as product box, makes me think that when buying a NEW product that you could be getting used or returned merchandise, was not done buy carrier delivering ....

My husband and I call the Flutterbye Soother, "The Birds" because we can tell if our son is awake - not because he's crying, but because we can hear him turn "the birds" on.

During those sleepless nights with a newborn, the projector gave off enough light that we could see what we were doing without turning on a lamp (that's the LAST thing you want at 4 AM). The music would play long enough that we could change, feed and rock the baby then get him back into bed without any break in the tempo. (Sounds crazy, but sometimes silence can be loud.) There are several music and nature sound selections, and they're very nice - even my husband and I enjoy them. I should also mention, that you can change the settings incase you don't want the projector on, or if you don't want the baby to be able to turn 'the birds' on him/herself.

As my son got a little older, he figured out how to turn "the birds" on himself. (There's a GIANT button on the front of the soother, shaped like a bird, that you tap and it turns on. VERY easy to find.) At night, instead of screaming for us because he hasn't fallen asleep right away, my son will turn "the birds" on and watch the projection until he falls asleep ON HIS OWN. He does the same thing in the morning - which gives us a little more time to get ready before we get him out of the crib.

I received the Aquarium Soother and the Flutterbye Dreams Soother as shower gifts. I tried them both and quicly chose the Flutterbye soother because the music on the Aquarium soother seemed almost creepy. It sounded like it was underwater, which fits the theme, but it scared me. Besides the bubbles, it really didn't do as much as the flutterbye soother.

As I said, my son is 1 now, and I've packed away a lot of his baby toys but 'the birds' will out for a long time.
