Games Reviews

My daughter is 6 mon old, and she loves this specific Elmo (but isn't as wild about other Elmos I have bought for her). The wonderful softness and size of this Elmo makes him her favorite toy, by far. It must have something to do with the material because she also adores her Classic Pooh blanket that has a similar texture. She sleeps with Elmo, kisses him, talks to him, etc. He goes EVERYWHERE she goes! I highly recommend this Elmo doll for anyone who likes Elmo!

My daughter is 2.5 yrs old and Elmo is her best friend. He is the sofest stuffed toy. She takes him everywhere and he is easy to clean.

I bought this toy for my toddler. She gets tired of it very quickly. If I could buy one again, I'd buy one where she could steer with her feet down, instead of her having to keep them up.

This toy has replaced our stroller. My daughter absolutely loves to ride in this car. We take her on walks in this car as well as to the mall. She will sit and ride in this car for hours while she will only sit in the stroller for fifteen minutes.

I purchased this buggy over the Memorial Day weekend and it was very practical. My daughter only eight months old loved it once she saw it and when we put her on she didn't want to get off. We had a few BBQs to go to and the buggy saved us and allowed my daughter to enjoy the outdoors. Plus, it has a storage compartment in the front; I was able to fit two bottles, diapers and a travel wipe case.

We bought this game with the intent to use when kids come to visit. HOWEVER, as we fondly remembered this game from our youth, we opened it right away and we play it ourselves near our pool or out on our front porch.

We laugh as much as kids while we play! And we are (allegedly) sane people in our late 40s!

My only gripe about this game is that the carton it came in (not shipping carton, the game carton Milton Bradley made) was so thin that it was partially crushed. Luckily the game inside was fin.

The clear plastic game board has a printed carboard insert you install yourself that is very cheaply made. I suppose MB did this to cut corners but like so many things from my youth the craftmanship is now so different .

Any matter, for the money it is a lot of fun and the pop cube is sturdy.

If you buy this game, don't just save it for the kids, play it yourself!

I played this at daycare and it was sooooooo much fun to play with. buy this toy for any reason and especially on birthdays the celebrant will love this.(...)

PURCHASED THIS FOR MY GRANDSON AND HE JUST LOVES IT. WE MAKE IT
A FAMILY GAME AND ITS FUN TO SEE MY GRANDSON LEARN PEOPLE SKILLS
AND GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP.

How can you make a trike for an 18 month old with no seat belt, especially if you are going to use the bar and push the child. That is ridiculous. One year olds fall off, or jump off if they see something interesting. Also, the child can steer, how much fun is that to try to push a toodler that is trying to learn to steer but you are pushing. No thanks, it went back!!

We tried a variety of riding vehicles for our one year old and this one is the best. I find he enjoys this more than the types where he is expected to push himself along with his feet. True, he can't reach the pedals yet but when the purple base is attached as a rocker, he can sit on it and pretend to ride. I find it a bonus that it doesn't rock too much so as to be dangerous - just enough so that he gets the feeling that he's moving. The rocker base de-attaches and becomes a handle so that an adult can push him around without getting a backache. The music and lights are cute, and the tune is not a familiar nursery rhyme so I find it less annoying than most musical toys. The most fun we have with it is when his sister (age 4) pedals and her brother sit's behind her, reclining with his back resting on the purple base/push handle (if you can picture that). So far we have had no problems with malfunction or breakage after 2 months use. We have a lot of fun with this toy, both around the house and out at the park.

This was purchased for my daughters first birthday. She loves it. She can "rock" it by herself, and loves to "roll" in it, and my oldest daughter, 4 1/2, has enjoyed the "ride". This is a great toy and I know we'll get years of use from it. FYI-our buttons and lights work great and we have had no trouble.

My daughter received this toy recently for her birthday. She went into her bedroom, and her dad was in the kitchen - a matter of 25 feet. We turned the volume all the way up on both handsets, and we couldn't hear anything. My daughter was so disappointed b/c she had wanted this toy for a while. My advice - don't buy this set.

I wouldn't waste your money. These have no reception, the volume is non-existent, if you can hear anything over the static. spend just a few dollars more and get real ones from the outdoor store. My daughters were so upset that they couldn't even use them. Don't buy these is my only advice!

We received the toy and went out to get the 9-volt batteries immediately because my 6 year old wasvery anxious to play with them. Nothing we did would make the walkie talkies work. Needless to say, we wasted good money on a toy that never worked.

My son loves it! He likes taking it to grandma's (no mess on here carpet) and he brings it out on a daily basis to doodle on. He can easily use the lever to clear the screen and the drawer to use the magnet forms to enhance his drawings. It's a keeper!

My daughter received a Magna Doodle about 2 years old, well since then her little brother joined the family and is 20 months old and wants everything his big sister has. So we purchased a 2nd one for him so there is no more fighting! This is perfect for the toddler who loves to eat crayons and markers; a nice alternative without the mess. He loves to sit and scribble on it and then erase his work. The knob to erase is a nice size for little hands as is the pen, except like someone else wrote, it is on the wrong side for left-handed people.

For older kids, this is great to take along in the car on long trips to practice letters, numbers and even just doodling. No worrying with leaving crayons in a hot car!

I purchased three for my son's toddler classroom and I am going to purchase two more for the classroom and one for home. The children love them

Well I read the reviews and it sounded like a fun toy. So I tried it out before I gave it to my kids. Well the kids never got it. I almost broke my back on that thing. Sounded like a fun toy to practice balance. Is it really possible to balance on it without holding on to a wall or something? If so, please enlighten me. Sounded fun but after I tried it, not so much. I left it outside and my dog thought the wheel was a chew toy. =0) I also thought the wheel was somehow attached to the board. It is not so when you lose your balance the wheel goes a flying. If you like a challenge then go ahead a buy it. If you value your spine, then I would think twice.

A holiday gift for 3 kids who love to ski but live in a compact NYC apartment. Between the 3 of them there's always someone practicing. I remembered having one when we grew up and I loved it (though my brother was the one that could do headstands on it). It's nice to wood-- not plastic around the house, too.

FABULOUS!!! I bought this for our 9 year old...No one can resist practicing balancing on it, often for long stretches of time, and including not only our child's freinds, but often their parents, and even grandparents! Everyone loves this balance board. It's extremely sturdy/heavyweight/durable, seems to be a professional quality sports item- just like you might see in school gyms, or in use for professional sports players training. Seems fine for younger children too. Seems indestructible. No reqrets on this purchase- well worth the investment!

I'll admit, I've got some beefs with the Mini Series of the Halo toyline. Namely: None of it is to scale! This Ghost and the Brute included are all out of proportion with the Warthog, which itself isn't exactly right. I've measured it compared to the real model from the game, and it is grandiosly oversized, making it impossible for the Mini Chief or the Mini Marines to fit on it. The Brute figure is kind of fun to play with, but the Ghost is pretty rigid and mainly made for displaying. The front Guns move, and I use them to keep the figure from rocking back and forth. It has a nice paint job, and despite the bad scale and accuracy it is a good looking peice.

This has been a life saver. It heats our bottles in about 2 minutes, if that.

The Pros of the warmer - It's very fast, has a on/off switch, cooler with ice pack, indicating light that lets you know when the bottle is done and heats baby food.

The Cons of the warmer
If you not careful you can get some serious burns from this thing, especially if it's 3am and your half dead and not paying attention. The steam has gotten me twice and my hubby burned himself because the bottle itself was hot (he actually got blisters)

Ours is very inconsistent and we always use exactly the same amount of water. Each time we get different results. Sometimes the bottle is so hot, you have to pick it up with a pot holder. Other times it's ice cold.

We have to check the temp. of the bottle constantly, which means I have to stand overtop of it and make sure the formula doesn't boil.

Overall, I am happy with the warmer, mainly because of how fast it is. But after both my husband and I were burned (and we got blisters) I thought it would be best to tell you guys here.
Be Careful of the steam and the actual bottle itself.

Good Luck :)

I have owned this bottle and have used it for my daughter for the past 6 months without a single problem. I have researched every single bottle warmer out there and I can tell you, with confidence, that this is the best you will find. The removable cooler is very convenient with the fact that you do not have to go rooting around your fridge in the middle of the night looking for the bottle, plus it holds two bottles. I use Avent and it works perfectly. It also makes it very convenient to place right in your baby's room! My sole complaint is that the nightlight is not bright enough alone. But the steps to use this are quite simple. First, fill the resevoir with the premeasured water amount, then add the bottle and just press the button to start the warming process! It's just that easy! I have left this device with my family and they have mastered this product within a few uses!
I hae noticed many gripes about this product and my response is, READ THE MANUAL!!! As long as you read and follow the instructions in the booklet, you will perfectly okay! The steps are not tricky at all, but there are a few little tips that they give you in order to keep your unit running properly.
