Baby Reviews

My 15 month old has been playing with this since she was 9 months old and isn't tired of it yet. She loves it.

My only negative comment is on the construction. When putting it together I wasn't able to make it as stable as I thought it should be. It rocks on its base. When my daughter was younger and she leaned on it for support it made me a bit nervous. Now that she is walking and climbing she's learned that she can rock it by pushing on the top half. We've checked the screws and adjusted them several times but the house continues to rock.

Although it seems unstable it has never tipped over. Our daughter loves it so much that we refuse to get rid of it. Overall, it's a great toy.

My son loves doors!!! I asked my Dad to get this toy for his Christmas present (he was 1 year old then). I knew he would play with it, but I didn't know he much he would love it! He's now 1-1/2 yrs old and still loves to play with it all the time, more than once a day and up to an hour at a time. He even drags riding toys through the door to take them in "his house". I have more photos and movies around this toy than any other one.

Note about the screws: They were in a small bag, taped inside the box so they weren't easily seen. I called Fisher Price to get a new bag. They told me they were back ordered because people didn't know where to look. Easy enough to put together, but have a long THIN screw driver if you want all the screws in.

If your child loves to play with doors, then they will love this toy. The price now is about $5 less than Christmas 2005, so it's a great deal. I haven't seen too many stores carrying this toy, either. Is a great toy to have when you are trying to make dinner and don't want to worry about baby getting hurt.

This is a really great toy with many fun activities. The songs and sounds are very cute and it's not a toy that will become irritating to grownups who have to listen to it. I have nieces who range in age from 5-9 and they also enjoy playing with it. It's designed for children of all ages so you will get your money's worth!

My son loved the learning table so I really thought the pots and pans would be a big hit when I purchased them when my son was 8 mo old. I could not get the product to say anything but, "Red pan in, Red pan out". I called the hotline at Fisher Price and they told me to change the battery which I had already done. While I was on the phone, my son dropped the pot and it began to sing the alphabet song. The cust. service rep. told me that the pots said and sang things at random and that it reponds when manipulated like a child would. I was disapointed because the toy responds VERY randomly and usually only sings if it is shaken very hard or dropped. I really feel I wasted my money on this one.

This toy looks very appealing. I purchased this for my son, 16 months at the time thinking it would be a great toy to stash in the kitchen cupboard so he could play while I cooked cleaned etc. He played with it about 4 times total and he's 2 now! It doesn't do enough and does have much other than a shape sorter. I consider it wasted money but if my experience helps anyone I'm glad.

This toy taught my son how to stack in a day. It is such a cute toy, and my son loves to beat everything with it. It has cute, silly songs, and as far as our toy goes it plays very easy. The only thing I don't like is the spoon, because it doesn't have a place. If you put it in the pot then you aren't able the sort the blocks. Overall, it's a good toy!

My daughter liked playing with this toy, but not that long (before a year was up), the toys sound was all messed up (even with new batteries in it)and then it just broke. Don't waste your money on this product. There are plenty of durable toys out there and this is not one of them.

I have a 7 month old and he really enjoys playing with this toy. It's great for babies just mastering sitting as everything they need to enjoy themselves is within reach! The sound effects are easy on parent's ears, too:) This purchase was well worth it!

Both my handicapped 8 year old son and my 15 month old absolutely love this toy!! It Taught my 15 month old to sort and now he uses his block box for sorting instead of throwing!! Even the older kids I take care of enjoy playing with this toy. The music is warm and the nature sounds are very clear. The only problem I have had is the tips of the sorting blocks break when stepped on...*LOL* other than that this is a wonderful addition to our toy collection!!

My 1 year old loves all of the different things to do on this table...and, my 3 year old loves it too! They will both stand at it and play for quite some time. My 3 year old likes the flip side better (the blocks) but I only wish it came with more blocks - or a way to order more. Overall, I think it is made well, plays lots of silly sounds and is fun for babies. Great that it has two sound settings also!

I would recommend it.

My very active 9 month old son absolutely loves this toy! He's been crawling for about 4 months now, pulling for 3 months and has abandoned most of his toys-except this one. I wanted a toy that he could play with while standing up, that worked on fine and gross motor skills, and wasn't too obnoxious. This fit the bill! The piano is his favorite part and he'll 'dance' to the different songs, (which include John Jacob Jingle-heimer-schmidt, 10 little indians, and more). I really like the fact that the piano can be taken off and brought to grandparents' houses or attached to the stroller.

The lego like pieces don't interest him yet, but he's still pretty young. I'm not concerned about the quantity of the blocks because I don't think they are designed to be used to build castles or anything. Simply stacking and un-stacking things is a challenge for most babies until they are older, and there are plenty for that.

Overall, I am very glad I got this table! It's one of the few toys I can put my son at where I know he'll play for 5-15 minutes without crawling away.

It is his favourite! He plays with it for hours. Really durable, lots to do. Seems better than other playtables I've seen. He has been playing with this since he was 6 months, and it was his motivation to learn to stand up and pull himself up.

Barney and friends is better then some others but not as much fun as Winnie the Pooh.

We just got my son a VSmile for Christmas. He just turned three and to be honest I thought it would be more of a toy he would "grow into". Along with the game the unit comes with he received the Wiggles, Barney, and Bob the Builder. I had actually read reveiws and had told people to get Dora and Winnie the Pooh but they were unable to find them so they he got these games instead. The Wiggles and Bob the Builder games both lived up to their horrible reviews. Too hard for a three year old and they won't be interesting for an older child. However, the Barney game was a different story. My three year old loves this game. Yes the fundamental learning skill are very basic- counting, colors, letter recognition, etc- but the activities are really geared toward three year olds. There are actually some parts of the game that my son can play all by himself. We are very happy that he has this game to learn on without getting frustrated.

Like most every game for this system (thus far), the age printed on the box for the would be buyer is not always honest, until now. "Barney: The Land Of Make Believe" (3-5 years) is the lone exception. Also like most the other vsmile games, Barney has excellent character similarities as to the TV show. The Graphics are fine. The music is also similar to the TV show. For easy & immediate play, choose the Learning Zone, all of which are the easiest to play + win, unlike past games & the game play is quite excellent, no boring & pasty short games, the replay value on the Learning Zone is a 10 out of 10, it's done perfectly. The Learning Adventure on the other hand has some unnecessary + boring selections like the 1st (numbers) & last (directions). Yes the game is not perfect, but it has more then enough of fun activates that will not get boring, until your child turns 6. ENJOY!

We bought this for our son when he was 2 months old and he has yet to be interested in it. The music is very loud and he has no interest in playing with any of the buttons or objects on it. He does kick it and push it away from him, so I constantly have to push it back towards him. At 4 1/2 months old, he still is not that interested in it, but we keep trying it out each day to see if it will spark an interest.

What we like
1. Very versitle-5 ways to use it.
2. Colorful and entertaining- Baby loves to play with toys, watch lights and listen to music.
3. Easy to build and use.

What we didn't like
1. Way too loud. Put tape on the speaker until baby sat up to play with it-could be a choking hazard.
2. Tall baby-had to remove the green side for baby to fit under it.

I love the fact this toy can convert so many different ways. When our daughter was an infant, she sort of liked it but it was almost impossible to get the music to play (I had to swing at the toy myself) and it is wayyyy tooooo loud! I was suprised there was no soft/loud switch like most toys have now. I had to tape cloth over the speaker. My husband accidentally put it together backwards (so that her head is up against the green seat thing) - the instructions weren't clear and once you put it together, it appears there's no mercy in fixing any mistakes. Hopefully it will be more fun when she's sitting up and playing with it that way.

We ordered this tent to bring to the beach, it came recommended by a friend. Worked great and was easy to put together. Our 8 month old enjoyed it and loves to play with it in the house as well! I plan on using it a lot in the future and buying one for my friend who is due in October.

We have a 5 month old and just got back from Maui... She loved it, we loved it and everyone was happy! Worth every penny! Even our 8 year old crawled in there and took a "cat nap" (we spent a lot of time on the beach). I think if we didn't have it life on the beach would have been a real bummer, you can put the babies toys in it for entertainment and store your food and drinks to keep them free of sand (and bugs).

We brought this on vacation with us to our beach house and it worked so well. Our newborn could nap in the tent - bug and sun free while the rest of us got to enjoy the outdoors! We did put an additional beach towel over the top to make sure no sun got in.

For $4 and free shipping you can't go wrong! I ordered this a few weeks ago and my boys (ages 21 months, 3 1/2, and 5) play with these at bath time. So far so good! Worth the money in my opinion!

My 2 year old loves it. She had a hard time getting the baby in it. She is getting better at it. I showed her how. She loves it.

My little girl, age 3, loves bringing her babies everywhere. It occured to her that she didn't have a special car seat/carrier.

This is a nice sturdy little doll carrier. It carries the bigger dolls but the small tiny dolls get lost in it. To help her solve this problem we showed her how to roll a towel to make a head prop like a real mom.

You can buy doll carriers with frills. However, if you prefer simple, this is a good one. If you prefer to encourage imaginative play and the toy is only the prop, this is a good carrier.

Enjoy.

My husband and I have a 5 month old and the three of us have had hours of enjoyment with this miraculous toy. No matter how bad his mood, the BLAH! at the end of the song makes him laugh. Daddy even used it as a puppet and gave it a voice and its own life. Only reason for four stars is that we only had it two months and it died... replaced batteries and got another three weeks before batteries wouldn't even revive it. Apparently this is the norm and probably why you find no mention of this product on the B.E. website. I hope and pray they are fixing this problem and reintroducing it. I can't figure a way to explain to a baby that his lovey can't sing anymore. BLAH!!!

My child loves this toy I had to replace her old one for a new one because she wore it out,she can't be with out it.

I bought this dragon for my 3 month old granddaughter and she is delighted with it. She particularly likes it when I use the dragon as a puppet, and her giggles and huge grins are the reward. It is cute, but she is also being exposed to the alphabet song, so it also has the benefit of being "painlessly" educational. She likes the soft, fuzzy feel of it, too. We've only had it for about a month, and it is great. No battery or wire problems that have been reported by others--yet. It is nice to know the company is responsive to complaints and replaces products as necessary.
