Baby Reviews

My family adore peek a blocks. The nesting blocks are the latest in a long line of incredible toys, so our expectations were quite high. While these toys are constructed well, they are not, in my opinion, peek a blocks because they are not closed blocks. The charm of the peek blocks is that you get to peek inside sealed blocks. These are not sealed blocks. Good, but not on par with other peek block sets

This was a Christmas gift for a 4 year old. It has been dragged up and down the stairs and had numerous dolls in and out of it. It is all metal, except the padding. I did have the problem of one of the metal bars on the bottom breaking off at one end. Like the sautering job didn't hold that well. I don't know if my daughter did something like step on it, or if it just wore out in that spot. She doesn't seem to mind and I have taped it in place. Still, its expensive for what it is. Fits the Rock a bye Chou Chou doll just fine.

While I think this item is a bit pricy, it is adorable and easy to assemble! It is more interactive than just a regular doll bed as it rocks, allowing your child to help her baby fall asleep better! FYI...I bought this for five dollars less than the price posted here from an outlet store.

I love this package! It is just one of the most incredible inventions for baby dolls they have made, and of course the doll is so adorable. I don't have it, it's on my wishlist, but man! It's so cute! i can also go in the car and buckle up my other baby dolls, this one, and of course since all the reviews say this fits american girl dolls perfect, I will take my american girl with me wherever I go! I know i'm 11, but Im still play with baby dolls! It doesn't matter. I reccomend this toy for any girl with the heart for baby dolls and has an american girl, too! I can't wait to get this awesome toy!

Im thinking about geting this so i can put my americangirl today doll taylor in it it looks like a biger kid seat it doesnt look like a baby seat since my ag doll isnt a baby ive been looking for a car seat that didnt neccesarly look like a baby seat so i might get this.

My son was so excited to get this toy, until we got it home. He hates the headset and is constantly stepping on it (hence the 5 stars for durability) and Scramblers headset keeps falling off. My son happens to be think that ALL of the pieces need to be in place, so we were constantly chasing after the toy to put this piece back on. You also have to be pretty close for the remote to work, almost a bonus since it can't get too far away from him, and it has to be pointed straight at the car. I do think it is cute and a good idea, but the headset really needs to be an option because the headband is an odd shape and not very adjustable. The only head that thing will fit is about as round as Bob's. We've only had Scrambler a few days and my son is starting to lose interest.

My 22 mth old son LOVES this toy! Other reviewers mention not being able to go right or left. Not true. The DIAMOND shaped pad is probably the culprit. It takes some getting used to. However, even that is not a huge problem or a deal breaker. I think they designed it to be SIMPLE, by just having one button for movement. Although it may not be the easiest, it doesn't seem to bother my son who loves to play with it! I do wish the sounds would work even without the headset. (My son just won't keep the headset on.) Overall, while not perfect, it was still worth it. Very durable (he throws it everywhere and has even tried to maneuver it down the stairs!) The cutest feature is that it bounces when it drives. That sets it apart from other remote control vehicles!

This toy was actually not for me, I am 26, although that might not matter, though the three yearold would be upset if I had kept his birthday present...BUt he loved it, I guess he could talk to it through the head-set, but it was put through the 3-year olympics of duribility, it has survived almost every highth, toss, and stomping that he could muster.!!

My daughter just received this as a gift for her first birthday - it was so cute we took it out right away. First thing I did was squeeze his TUMMY, which is the most noticible part of Pooh, and he replied by saying it was his HAND!!!!! Both EARS worked OK, but when I got to his left foot, it changes between saying it's his TUMMY or his HAND!!!!! This is not a good teaching toy when malfunctioning! I am calling Fisher-Price in the morning for a replacement.

My son is 7 months old and LOVES this Pooh! He hugs it and squeezes it and I even catch my husband singing along to it! It articulates the words very well so it's easy to understand and will help my son learn the words correctly. I highly recommend this adorable toy!

I thought the original Furby was cute when I first got it, but it got boring fairly quickly. It doesn't do anything unless it's ordered to (and I find the fact that you have to order them to do things rather than ask kindly not very great), and it only has a maximum of five responses, usually less. The original Furby had hundreds of phrases! The new Furby is not ugreaded except for how it moves. I think that Hasbro must have put all of their money for the Furby into the voice recognition and the emoto-tronics, and not put much into the responses and had to take out the light sensor. Something like that. Also, I think that the fact that they can only understand about six phrases makes them seem less realistic than when they couldn't understand any at all. The original one seemed more lively. Oh, another thing I forgot to mention, the new Furby's voice is very flat most of the time, especially compared to the original.

I admit that it was fun for the first week or so, but after that I really haven't turned the furby on at all since then, except to try to get my Furby to talk to my friend's Furby, but somehow, one of our Furbys runs out of battery every time we try...

Okay, basically I don't recommend the new Furby. If you want a ton of huggable fun that isn't as much trouble as a real pet, I'd recommend either one of the original Furbys or Furby Babies. You could try one of the new Furby Babies, too I guess, but I don't know what they're like because I don't have one. They don't have voice recognition, though, so maybe they are more spontaneous than the big Furbys.

. . . and I have never played one on television, I have interacted enough with the breed, including Shelbies, Furbies, Baby Furbies, foreign Furbies, and this new Furby, to likely qualify for solid "amateur furbologist" status.

My credentials aside, let's proceed to the business at hand. At Christmas, my family purchased the new, bigger Furby, ostensibly for our dog, as no one will step forward to claim ownership of this toy, that is designed for children. As the dog cannot protest, it is officially hers. More on that, later.

First of all, when purchasing a new-version Furby, one will immediately note the paucity of color choices. The regular Furby that resides at our house, who names herself Godzola, and who belongs to the dog (more on that, later), is black-and-orange tiger-striped. This new big Furby is gray (I prefer that spelling to "grey" for reasons beyond my own fathoming) with a blue belly, and that was the most interesting color combination we could get. Bleh. Of course, I believe that dogs are color-blind, so the chromatic aspects are of little interest to our dog. More on that, later.

Secondly, the new Furby is big. Not homongous, but still quite largish. It is easily twice the size of Godzola, giving my dog two different-sized Furbies, plus the Baby Furby she has. More on that, later.

Thirdly, let us speak of speech quality. This new Furby speaks more Furbish than any of our dog's other Furbies (yes, you know, more on that later). It does speak English, but blends in more Furbish than the others, no matter how much our dog plays with her. Also, the sound quality of her speech is a bit tinny.

Fourthly, this Furby is no American Idol candidate, as she has one song. One. Uno. Un. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is a nice song, but singers don't get far being a one-trick pony (nice Paul Simon song, is "One Trick Pony," by the way, but I digress). One song ain't a repertoire. Even my dog knows that.

Fifthly, let us broach the subject of comedy. This Furby tells good knock-knock jokes, tells them well, and cutely laughs at her own jokes. Our dog does not find her humorous, but more on that, later.

Sixthly, we shall address the narrative aspect. This new Furby tells you all about her home of origin, which is surprisingly an island. Well, it surprised me, but, as you might have guessed, it didn't surprise our dog. Either way, she (the Furby, not the dog) describes life on the island fairly comprehensively. I wonder why she left.

Seventhly, as to the communication feature, we have a big plus and a fairly big minus. The plus is that this new Furby has some word-recognition software, and will respond in certain ways to certain words. The minus is that, while the new allegedly will interact with other new Furbies, it will not interact with a Shelby, an old Furby, a Baby Furby, or my dog. There will not be more on the dog-Furby communication later, as it was likely assumed by most readers anyway.

Eighthly, this new Furby has a cute game, called "Red Light, Green Light." I will not spoil the fun by detailing the game, but it involves tickling and does not involve automobiles or dogs. It also has nothing to do with the DVD called "Red Light, Go!"

Ninthly, we get to the much-touted "Emototronics" feature of this new Furby. The feature has two aspects: variety of voice-tone, facial expression. The response-variety is nice. For example, if you ask Furby for her attention, you might get "Doo?" (Furbish for "What?"), "Yeah?" (sounding amusedly curious), "Huh? (just responsive), or "What?" (clearly sounding annoyed, as in "What do you want this time?!").

Tenthly, there is The Spoon. This total waste of plastic is completely replaceable by the human finger, and petroleum products are finite.

Eleventhly, and lastly, our dog dislikes all Furby products, appears to be jealous of them, and would loudly disclaim ownership of them, if she could loudly disclaim something. Although, I do hope it would not be the first thing she said.

There will be no more on that, now, or later.

The first time i saw the Furby online i was hooked...i was like i got to have this toy. CUT TO: 2 mins later i was in the checkout line buying this toy and i took it home BAM! The toy blew my mind. The only thing is that i brought this toy at walmart for $19.98 and here on amazon it is $34.99 which, when you think about it...this is something of a big diffrence in price when you factor in the shipping and handling. anywho buy this toy if you are a fan of toys.

The doll we received looked "nothing" like the picture shown. The mouth was wide open with a crazy-ugly looking smile. It was too close to Christmas so we had to keep the doll as it was used as a gift.

We received the doll today and I couldn't be more pleased! The size and feel of the doll is perfect for our 2-year-old who is going to be a big sister in about 6 months.

The doll we received has a slightly different expression on its face, but I actually like this one even better than the one pictured! The smell is not any stronger than a normal baby right out of the bathtub, and it's a lot better than the plastic smell of a lot of dolls.

I am VERY pleased with this doll. It's well made, durable, and very real looking. And the value -- exceptional! You won't find this baby doll anywhere online for cheaper!

Buy it -- you won't regret it, and neither will your little one!

My daughter has one of these and she loves her little baby, she's a baby herself and these babies are lightweight and easy for her to carry, even her big brother says awwww, babies cute. They are just adorable little things and they all have different faces and you can get them in different sizes. I'm looking at a 20 inch one for christmas. She loves them and so do I! I think it's a great buy

HI!! i would reallly like 2 get this & will be writing a review when i do.I have the ocean wonders swing, but i have a hunch this is almost more fun& i will like it better. GET THE LITTLE MOMMY DOLLS!! They r so sweet, & im gettin' 1 off Ebay soon. I bet they would fit& go great w/theese toys. Also, if u wanna be creative, u could use the bassenet "setting" or the changing thingy 1 as a bunk bed type thing. (your welcome!)

Love,

This makes a cute and durable crib for my daughter's baby dolls. Working mobile is a nice touch, plus the crib rocks. Great!

i got this play yard a few days ago and its awesome! im 12 years old and i put it together myself because it was so easy. the fish are adorable and the mobile is so cute. alot of people said some of the parts fell off but the parts on mine don't. i don't know why oh well. this is great so buy it!

Our daughter became this as she was a baby. We tried several time during her past 2 years if she would reach a moment to like it, but she always wanted to go out after 1 or 2 minutes. Maybe other babies are diferent, but I think its not the right material for such a playground. For a hot environment like ours in the south, it quickly gets very hot inside and you can not leave your baby or little child alone playing because of the plastic material that can be dangerous. We finally sealed the holes on the bottom and do not pump up the upper part so we fill it with water and use it as a litle pool, thats the only way for us to use it.

My in-laws bought this for our 22-month-old son. Amazon has the age listed as 17 months to 3 years; and the manufacturer has the age as 17 months and up. THE ACTUAL BOX SAYS for under 18 months!! It would have been a great toy for when he was younger, but now he's WAY too big for this thing.
BTW, I was forced by Amazon to rate (with stars) the toy in order to leave this review. Don't pay any attention to the stars, just the write-up. =)

I want this for my nicece and nphew and I could play on it
