Baby Reviews

we just recently purchased this for our three and a half month old, while the toy attachments are darling, and our son absolutley loves the giraffe!! and the assembly was pretty easy, and it folds away which is a big plus!!you can move the toys for time on back and "tummy time". all in all biggest complaint is that the mat will bunch up under a wiggly baby

My baby is now 7 months old, we've had this for about 5 months now & he still loves it. My husband was skeptical when I bought it, thought it was an "unecessary purchase" (what isn't, really?) but this proved to be our baby's FAVORITE place to hang out. His 5 month old cousin loves it so much that her parents are purchasing one for their home.

I was surprised when I read other reviews for this playmat. Our 3 month old daughter absolutely loves this! The toys are removable, and have come on trips with us (when we didn't have room for the whole playmat). She just loves the mirror/funny face and the ladybug! I can lay her down on the mat and fold laundry without worrying about her injuring herself. The mat does have a strong edge and one end which helps with the "bunching" issue under the baby....and while my daughter wiggles a lot, the mat stays mainly in place. For a less-expensive playmat, I think this one is a success!

This is such a cute mobile, and our baby loves staring lovingly at Mr. Met while he is in his crib! I wish that the music ("take me out to the ball game," of course!) lasted longer, though. It just doesn't play for very long before you have to wind it up again. But overall a nice addition to the nursery of any little Mets fan!

My son received this as a gift for his 2nd birthday last summer. After getting the ball inflated and adding sand to the base we put him on the toy. He could not touch the ground so there was no whirling or bouncing last year. We decided to pull it out from the corner of the garage and give it another shot this year since he will be 3 this summer and has grown quite a bit. Nope...he still doesn't touch so there is no whirling or bouncing again this year. I decided to give it a try and I am 125lbs. I could barely get it to bounce and whirling takes quite a bit of effort as well. This toy is going back into the garage until I get sick of looking at it then off to the dumpster it goes.

I agree with the other reviewers...I thought this toy would be great for my son to play with outdoors. WRONG! The ball doesn't even get close to the ground for it to bounce. My son has no interest in it...money wasted!

Like most people, I thought, "Wow! Looks like a great toy." Wrong! I found this at a thrift store for $15.00 and in my opinion, it was $15.00 wasted. It doesn't really bounce, doesn't swivel, and sits in my backyard collecting bird droppings. I called Little Tikes to tell them how bad this toy is and the customer service lady said that noone ever complains about it, which I find hard to believe. She said that it is suppose to be a strength building toy. Now, I ask of anyone out there who bought this toy, did you buy it to build your child's strength or because you thought they'd have fun on it? She also said to try cooking oil on the base to help it swivel. I have a better idea. I'll save my cooking oil and throw this "toy" in the trash. Ugggh!!!

I was just about to purchase this since it said it was award winning, when I decided to check the reviews! Thank God I did! More than one review that says it cuts the childrens heels is enough for me!!! To the lady who says the mothers of these children are crazy???? Maybe if it happened to your child you'd feel differently! Have some compassion! Maybe your child doesn't ride it as forcefully as the others! Any area sharp enough to slice through skin should be a major concern on any toy!

My 20m old son is a stunt man by nature and upon receiving this bike for his first birthday he was instantly compelled to stand on the seat with both feet! He loves this bike but the problem is after only 3 months one of the handle bars broke off due to all of his stunts. Aside from that he thought it was great fun to switch on the "motor" (confetti) and take off all over the house. Also wonderful that there's only one wheel in the back so as not to catch his shoes or feet on the wheel wells. Probably a great bike for the average child!

My 20 month old daughter received this as a Christmas gift this past Christmas (December 2005). She has thoroughly loved riding around the house on this toy and espeically loves watching the glitter and shapes spin around when the toy is moving. We have even had it outside on our driveway and sidewalk which is sloped and haven't had a problem with it trying to turn over with her. I too have no idea how either of these other children have sliced their feet open as the plastic on this toy is rounded at the edges. I would recommend this toy to any child in the correct age group, and I'm a protective mother... :)

I selected this puzzle for the fuzzy animal feature as my son is a tactile learner and the fact that there are pictures under the puzzle pieces however, there are no knobs for a child to easily grasp the pieces. If you have long enough finger nails, you can literally pick out the pieces but for most children, that is not ideal. If there were knobs, even small ones, a child could work on his or her fine motor skills which is one of the reasons puzzles are such a good learning tool. Overall I will say the materials used are of good quality and the fuzzy animal concept is good however, the lack of knobs is disappointing. There are similiar "animal" themed puzzles on the market at comparable prices that are better designed for children.

Edward is an older engine who is extremely kind to everyone. He is even kind to the small engines when they get into difficulties, as well as the big engines even when they are rude or impatient.

Although Edward is the same blue color as Thomas (#1) and Gordon (#4), #2 Edward is a staple on the Island of Sodor--making it into almost every episode and Thomas the Tank Engine book.

Edward comes in two parts, held together by a strong magnet, and is very sturdy. My son has had his for years, and it still looks good as new! (Despite HOURS of playing).

Although he isn't colorful, he's a reliable fixture on the Island of Sodor.

My son absolutely adores all his Thomas the Tank Engine stuff. What can I say? Edward the Blue Engine is a fine addition to any child's collection.

I know Edward is old and my train sure is but he can still pull trains likje the big engines. His magnet is in perfect working order and he can pull a couple coaches without trouble at all. A cool thing about Edward and all the other tender engines is that little kids love to take the tender on and off. I thinks it's so funny when they do that. Edward really works well and he's capable of hours of enjoyment at a time.

We have tried putting this together several ways and can't seem to get it right. We have read the instructions over and over and it shouldn't be this hard. Any suggestions from other users?? It says to use 4 poles on the bottom and then the top...this makes it smaller than the actual tent. It's also confusing because they actually sent 12 poles for the top and bottom instead of eight. HELP!! I left a message with Pacific Playtents but no response yet.

Great imagination and play potential. It was fun while it lasted. Unfortunately, we played with this outside. With the hot sun, it faded and the supports warped in about 3 weeks beyond repair. I have a 4 year, petite daughter who is not a rough & tumble kind of kid and it was trashed! A MAJOR disappointment.

Our kids have played with this for two years now. They were 3 and 1 when we purchased it, and we pull it out and tuck it away to "keep it new" for them. Whenever it goes up, their imaginations go wild. They build fortresses, stow toys (aka, treasure), and even their older cousins like to play in it. No tears, despite rough treatment. However, the plastic "beams" used in the ceiling of the tent are easy for my sons to pull out and "weaponize" (but that's not the toy's fault!).

This is the most adorable comfort seat I've ever seen. I like it so much I'm going to replace the Baby Annabell comfort seat with this one. This is the most adorable, comfy-looking carrier I've ever seen. My only concern is that I won't be able to fit a Baby Born or Little Chou Chou in it. But other than that, this seat is great. I highly recommend it for little mommies (or actual mommies who like dolls.)

I bought my daughter the My First You and Me doll for christmas last year and she carried it everywhere with her, so when I saw the soft carrier I had to get it. She was so excited and carried her doll everywhere in that thing. She even loved to strap her doll into the seat and then into mommy's car when we went out. This carrier is great for little ones because it's soft, light weight, and durable (gentle cycle wash, low dryer and poof it's new again, same with the doll too!)

This item fell apart the first day we got it. Just kidding. This is so fun. I love this travel seat. It is like no other. Trust me you will not go wrong with this travel seat!!!
