Sports Games Reviews

We use this swing attached to our pergala and our daughter loves it. She used it a lot when she was 5m then later went through a phase where she wasn't much into swinging. After we moved I put it up and...viola! She loves it again at 14m. We added several inches of chain with S hooks to make it closer to the ground. It was just way to high when not used with the playset.

We love this swing! Noah loves to go outside and swing on the front porch. The swing is great quality and super easy. I feel that Noah is very secure with the bar that comes between the legs. We have been using this swing since he was about 6 months old and are looking fwd to lots more use! Must have for any toddler!

This baby/toddler swing is great. We had an identical one for our two older children, but sold it...not knowing we would have a 3rd child :o) The swing was so nice and easy to use, I just bought the same exact swing this time around.

Bought this for my 5 year old Justice Leaguer. My son is not a rough player but we went through 4 (YES, FOUR) of them before we finally got one where the elevator didn't break in the 1st 2 weeks. Mattel needs to get their act together and design toys that have durability. VERY disappointing!

It's a good thing most of the Justice Leaguers can fly, because the elevator on our Watchtower broke in the first 20 minutes after Superman got jammed in it. While I was able to rescue the Man of Steel, the elevator string bound in the gears and broke. There's no way of repairing it without taking apart the entire center column, which is not something I was likely to try, given the number of widget, gadgets, and springs on that part. I also found the center column and elevator mechanism difficult to assemble. The directions could have had more words and fewer pictures, as well. (Do they assume that the parents are illiterate?)

I agree with the reviewer who said that Mattel needs to work on the quality of the toy.

I bought this for Christmas. It was somewhat challanging to put together properly, but after that it was quite fun for my five year old. I know when she plays with this due to the sound fx.

It's The Year of Yao and this figure is a fitting tribute. Peas and mashed potatoes, folks. It doesn't get much better. The detail on this figure is cutting edge perfect. Whether you're a Rockets fan like me, or just collect mega-cool action figures, I wouldn't pass this one up.

This is a fun toy for my 3 year-old boy, but the set was shipped without a golf ball. Was on hold waiting to talk to someone for a replacement ball for over 11 minutes. Once someone answered, it was no problem to get my request filled. They said it would be delivered in "7-10 days if not sooner."

Follow up .. the golf balls did arrive on January 13--18 days after I made the call.

When you first put this together you will find it odd that the "cart" needs 2.5" steel screws. It's not structural so it seems a little overkill.
Secondly, it would have been a better design if the "hole" went into, or attached itself to the cart, but oh well.
Fun product - even with the design shortcomings.

This toy is great. My son knows his dad and grandad are golfers and he likes to join in. The only problem is that this is more at Toys R US for $24.99. Little Tikes even only sells it for $19.99. It's overpiced but other than that, we love it!

A great season in F1 only to be spoiled by this vhs like DVD release. The picture quality absolutely ruins the viewing experience! Pixels everywhere! Anything that moves on the screen just blurs up. It's hard enough to get a good look at these beautiful F1 machines up close, that's the beauty of pausing a DVD player to capture a true sharp digital image, but here you might as well get all those vhs tapes out of the garbage cause blurry and ragged is the new F1 way it seems. Why spend so much money on a sport only to release a review that shows none of it? 5 star show with 0 star picture quality. Hey F1, this isn't 1982 with Keke winning the championship! Next year better be better or you've lost my twenty bucks.

Documenting in satisfactory detail the news, events and people of the 2005 FIA Formula One World Championship, this DVD is a must-have for any F1 aficionado.
Round-by-round coverage of each race (usually between 10-15 minutes on each) combined with mini features on drivers, teams and new circuits are some of the many strengths of this DVD. Unfortunately, while the DVD takes a step forward in many areas over previous incarnations, it also has some areas that prevent it from being perfect.
The race-by-race coverage is very solid and the DVD does a good job covering the top highlights from qualifying and the race. It also does a decent job covering the BAR fuel tank scandal, the F1 U.S. Grand Prix debacle and F1's first race in Turkey.
My favorite new addition to the DVD has to be the driver-narrated in-car laps that are featured for every race. It adds a nice dimension to the DVD and you get to see and hear the drivers from a more personal perspective, adding a side of humanity that is often buried behind the helmet and the names. Also, unlike previous versions, when you go to the race-by-race menu and choose a race, the DVD will not go back to the race-by-race menu once that particular race is over. Instead, it will move on to next race in continous fashion. And it is for these reasons that I would recommend this DVD to any F1 or racing fan.
However, there are some features of this DVD that hurt it. First, the picture quality doesn't seem as good as previous reviews. There is a lot of pixelation at various times throughout the review (usually on in-car cameras) and, while not horrible, it does sour the experience, a little. Second, it's a shame they had to sacrifice the in-car pole position laps (as seen on the 2004 DVD) for driver commentary laps. Why couldn't they put both in?
While there are some shortcomings, it is still a strong and comprehensive review and I would recommend it to any F1 fan.

My family and I are Indy 500 regulars who will be attending the U.S. Grand Prix for the first time in July, 2006. Since Formula One races are not carried on any of the channels in our cable package, we needed a way to educate ourselves about what's been going on in F1 lately (who is Alonso?). The 2005 F1 World Championship Review DVD seemed perfect for this purpose, and I decided to purchase a copy. However, after I read the reviews of the DVD on Amazon.com, I got the impression that it would be of low quality, so I decided not to buy it. A couple weeks later, I changed my mind and decided to go ahead and buy it anyway. I am now very glad I did - the DVD turned out to be terrific! It performs perfectly on our DVD player and TV, and the sound and picture are excellent. The race coverage is everything I had hoped it would be, and the DVD also includes in-car footage for each track, including Indianapolis. This DVD far exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it.

The case is very sturdy and well made. For smaller children it
is hard to play the game in the case and when taken out, the additional game cartridges come out easily.

If you have this style leapster I highly recommend this case. It protects the leapster and carries quite a few game cartridges. Great for storage!

The leaspeter case is great, it fits the Leapter and the L-MAX pretty well.... and I love that it has a place to put extra games...plus it is the perfect size and weight for my 4 year old... she loves her new game and set up...

Thanks....

I have an iQuest. It has helped me in the fields of math, science, and social studies. It is also fun to play with.
I love my iQuest. I think every child should have one.
(I am 11)

If your child likes computer games.. this is a way to help him/her. Check to see if the text your child uses is on the program, they have quite a few.

this is agreat device for who get grades that you dont want. I think that this is good for a kid who oNly has $25 and needs another $25.

My 8 year old cousin broke his neck walking (not even bouncing) on these shoes. He somehow fell over, causing his neck to whiplash. He was in severe pain and they had to call the ambulance. I had similar shoes when I was young, and I often twisted my ankles on them. I was surprised to see a newer version back on the shelves. Mark my word, these will be pulled off of the shelves in due time because of how dangerous they are. After a couple of lawsuits, they will also be pulled off of the shelves. BTW, my cousin's mother didn't sue, as the company agreed to pay all medical bills. However, the little boy's life has been pretty dramatically changed and he is now fearful of many physical adventures that he normally wouldn't have thought twice about. I won't let my kids use them. It is just not worth the risk. That is what trampolines with protective nets are all about.

I"m 12. my brother bought these for me. they are made of plastic and the top has thick rubber bands. The highest I jumped was about 5 inches and I fell 4 times in 1 day. They are stressful to put together. I think they are very dangerous and could posible brake your arm or leg. I still have the marks.

I got a few of these for my kids for Christmas. The kids loved them and they had so much fun jumping around on them. I don't really let them wear them unsupervised as they could be dangerous. I used more rubberbands than they recommended for their weights just to make sure they were strong enough to support them. If you want to see a child light up like a Christmas tree than this is the gift to get!
