Fisher-Price Reviews

I'm a little skeptical about this new Robotz line, as most of the extra little robots you get with the figures are pretty boring and sadly jack the price up on the figure. However, this extra robot you get with Gil is a lot of fun, as it's on all 4's and when you press the button (which is very awkwardly underneath the tail end) it "walks" along and makes a mechanized sound, as all 4 paddle feet flip over and over. It's the only Robotz robot that my son gave a second look to, as all the other ones in the line he cares little about and only wants the rescue hero.

Would be 5 stars if not for the button you press to start the robot being on the underside, and the fact that despite the photo showing Gil holding his helmet, it is permanently attached to his body via a cord, so it barely comes off his head and hangs to the side.

My 5.5 year old daughter received this from Santa 2005. After literally 2 minutes of play, she said "this is boring, it doesn't do anything". The price is high for $34.99. It comes with a pair of shoes & a comb. After changing the color on the eyelids & mouth a few times, that's it. The additional outfits are pricey at $9.99 each & hard to find. We returned this for Littlest Pet Shop. As others have said - the face does look weird.

My 2 1/2yr. old daughter wanted this doll so bad that she carried around a catalog that had this doll in it for about a week! I had already finished my Xmas shopping and thought this doll was a little too like the Bratz (which I don't allow her to have) that I was not going to spend $35 on it. Well I decided that I should check out a popular online auction site (starts with an E, ends in bay) and found it for $10 (shipping and all!). I am soo glad I got this doll as it is my daughter's favorite Xmas present! It is easy to use and fun to play with. I even had some fun with it! I recommend this for 2 and up (since my 1 1/2yr. old doesn't get it) and any child who loves to play with make up but makes a mess up it. Fun, fun, fun!!

My daughter (7)saw the commercial for this and wanted it right away. She doesn't think it looks like Angelica, but she loves that it's makeup and that she can make the light colors on the doll magically change to whatever she wants them to be! To her, it's truly magical. If you like Angelica then the singing won't bother you too much. I give it a 5 because the light part is really cool. I even like to play with it!

I have boy/girls twins who got this for their birthday (from me). I thought they'd love it. Seemed like something they'd really like. It hasn't been a hit at all. They'll play with it for about 30 seconds and lose interest. They've never been very interested in this toy. Ben does like the purple spinner on the base and Madeline likes to squish her face against the ball. That's about it. I think I'll try untethering it and see if they like playing with the ball seperate from the base. But, if that's the case, save yourself $15 and just buy a big rubber ball.

As for the base, we haven't had any trouble getting the music to play. Anytime they touch the ball or the base, the lights do go on. Although, I have noticed it goes through batteries fairly quickly.

IMO, you're better off buying a big rubber ball and spending the rest of the money on something else. Seems like a good idea. Seems like something the kids should have really enjoyed but, they didn't.

The toy is a good idea but all u really need is an iflatable ball. To me, the base is useless. To make the music come on your baby will have to bang the ball really hard or it will not come on at all. Just get any regular ball and your baby will be happy with that!

The rim falls off the backboard constantly. My son is not tall enough to put it back into place, so it's frustrating when he's trying to play alone. The concept of the toy is wonderful, and when the rim is in place it's a lot of fun. But there is obviously a design flaw on this expensive toy. I would not have purchased it if I had seen these reviews. If I could return it, I would. It is a large, bulky toy that doesn't work the way that it should. I wouldn't have minded the "bulk" so much if the toy functioned properly and my kids played with it all the time. Live and learn...

This is by far the most used toy in our house. It is now 5 months since Christmas, and I have to say that my 2 boys (ages 2 and 7) play with it almost every day. It is great fun when they have friends over, and we just gather up a couple of extra small balls. My only complaint is that the basket is easily knocked out of its bracket - but it is only a minor annoyance and easily fixed. I would not let this stop me from buying it. I highly recommend this toy, especially if you have energetic boys like mine.

We bought this for my 4 year old son for the holidays. It took some time to put together but it was worth every minute. We have a blast playing it as do his friends and our family. It is great to practice counting and the sports announcers give great feedback. This was one toy that was worth every penny! (With a coupon of course!)

I recently purchased both the Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Stroller and the Ocean Wonders High Chair to have at my house for when my almost two year-old granddaughter comes to visit. I had searched the internet and viewed several similar items. I
decided on these because of their attractive/realistic appearance. They arrived yesterday evening (a Friday), and I decided to put them together this morning after my husband left for work. I had assumed that it would be a simple job. Wrong!!!! I first opened the box containing the stroller and removed all of the pieces (There were quite a few of them!). I then discovered that there were no directions. I put all of the pieces back in the box with the hope that my husband will be able to look at the picture and figure it out when he gets home. Because it is Saturday, I am not able to contact Fisher-Price for assistance, and there were SO MANY pieces that I just didn't want to deal with them. I then took the high chair out of the box, and was happy to dicover that it DID contain directions. Assembling it went really well until I got to the
removable tray. After MUCH effort, I was finally able to get it snaped in place. Since it is supposedly able to be removed
in order to convert the high chair into a rocking bassinet or a rocker, I couldn't help wondering WHO was supposed to be able to
remove it and then put it back on. Certainly not my little
granddaughter! I picked the high chair up to take it to the
bedroom, and one of the main hinges disconnected. I snapped it back on, but now the high chair is twisted and I can't get the hinge back off in order to straighten it. It was at that point that I decided that I had had enough of Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders for one morning, and decided to write this review. Another negative feature of these items is that they don't fold
for storage, which is an inconvenience for grandparents who don't have the child in their home every day! I don't expect to be able to return these items, since they are no longer in the "unopened or original condition," and because it is Saturday, I can't contact Fisher-Price to request instructions for the stroller. My granddaughter will be here Wednesday, and I was hoping to be able to have these things for her to play with! I DEEPLY REGRET not reading other customers reviews before purchasing these items! I expected better quality from Fisher-Price!

We purchased this stroller for my three year old daughter for Christmas, it looked so cute and I had read a few good reviews about it however looks can be very deceiving. It was not very easy to put together and when you do finally get it put together the canopy just breaks off anyways along with the tray just alltogether I was not satisfied with it at all so we are just going to end up throwing it out and purchasing hopefully a better one! My suggestion would be not to buy it especially if your child wants to play with it everyday like mine.

I bought this stroller for our three year old daughter yesterday and will be taking it back tomorrow morning. It took my husband and I to snap the pieces together and a lot or re-snapping to get them to stay in place. Once we got it together, our daughter could not switch it to any other position...nor could I. The pieces kept snapping out and the plastic pieces that hold the frame together are already showing signs of stress. While pushing the stroller through the house, the front tray simply fell off. We were quite upset with the wheels also. The wheels are simply hard plastic and do not turn well. I was disappointed that I had to take this toy away from our daughter, she was so excited to get it. Spend a bit more and buy the graco car seat stroller combo, much higher quality.
