Baby Toy Reviews

I bought 2 of the strollers for my twin 16 month old girls..and they love them. They put their dolls in them and cruise all over the house with them. The only hard part at this point is the seatbelt. They know how to buckle it, but can't buckle it again ...so that is frusturating, but they will get it as time goes by. They are not super strong, but for what we paid I think they are just fine. They have withheld a lot of abuse so far!

Received this as a gift for my 18mos. old and she absolutely loved it. The only complaint is that as she was trying to learn how to turn it she would just lift it up by the handles and one handle broke off after about 1 month of continuous play. Superglue wouldn't work and so we have left it and she has now had a few minor scratches due to the jagged remainder of where the handle was. I am now researching to buy a new one. If your 2 year old has already learned how to turn wheels then it will probably stay together just fine. Oh, one more complaint: The bottom part of the seat slides out of the inserts rather easily. I have to help my daughter before she can put her dolls back on. It is nice because it is lightweight and holds both big and small dolls.

FYI- this kitchen has been redesigned by little tikes and the new version will be released in August according to their website.

I bought this kitchen for my 9 month old daughter and she loves it! She loves to sit in front of it and open the doors on it. She also likes the sounds that it makes. She sits in front of it and will play with it for quite a while. We also have the nesting pots and she uses those with it. I agree with one of the other reviewers that it does tip easily if pushed against and should be braced against something to be on the safe side for babies. I would recommend that the age range of the toy be changed from 9-36 months to 9-24 months. 2 year olds usually want to play with a kitchen they can stand at that is bigger. This is a wonderful toy and I also bought the Discovery workshop for my friends 9 month old son and he loves it!

I cannot say enough good things about this kitchen! We bought it when our daughter was 9 months old, and she still plays with it at 16 months. She has honestly played with this more than any other toy she's gotten. I try to alternate groups of toys (as she gets bored easily), but this is one that is a constant.

I remember how thrilled we were that she figured out the shapes (ice cubes in the refrigerator door) the day we gave it to her, and we feel it helped her figure out other toys with shapes. She also quickly discovered how to get the dishes to make the cooking sounds, and she loves that! She carries the phone around everywhere and puts all kinds of things in the oven, refrigerator and microwave--only to be tickled when she finds them later! An added bonus is that the utensils make a great teether.

Since this adorable kitchen keeps her busy for quite awhile, I don't mind it being a part of our living room decor. We also used to put it right in the playpen! It's very durable, just the right height, and easy to clean. When others come over, this is what gets played with the most. I HIGHLY recommend it for your child, and I'm picky! :)

My son, now almost 6 months old, loves this rattle. I think the bright colors are wonderful and the fact that he can see the little balls inside that are making the rattling noise is supposed to be good for his cognitive development.

When he was younger, it was great because even before he could really grab the rattle in his tiny hand, he could stick his arm through the middle of this toy and shake it up and down to make noise.

HOWEVER, I think my husband and I may be taking this toy away from him soon, because we're afraid he's going to hurt himself. He shakes this rattle around with such enthusiasm, he keeps smacking himself -- and we know from the times when he smacks us with it that it hurts!

One of my favorite things about this toy is the pattern that the colored "legs" of the triangle are laid out in. When turned slightly differently from the picture, you get the 3 primary colors on the top, and the secondary colors that they make when blended together on the bottom. Very nice way to teach colors and color mixing. The baby loves to shake and rattle this all the time. Easy to sanitize after a long day in the park as well!

My daughter adores this rattle. It is the first toy she grabbed and held onto. It's colorful handles attract her and the beads move from one sphere to the next. As soon as it's in her grip, the sphere is in her mouth. She'll gum this toy all day if I let her. I haven't had any problems with it hurting her gums as some of the other reviewers did. However, she does occasionally knock herself in the head with it. The manufacturer isn't at fault for that....it's just babies' developing hand-eye coordination. It's very light, despite it's appearance and she never gets hurt. She's been interested in it since she was 3 months old and her attention hasn't waned yet. Lamaze comes through with another winner!

My son got this toy for his first birthday and loves it. He plays with it all the time for long periods of time. He loves putting the balls in the drill press and pushing the button to make them pop out. He does it over and over. He also loves to put the shapes in the little door, close the door, then open and take them out. This toy is really durable and will take being climbed on and pushed around. I do wish it was a little sturdier. However, I think my son likes knocking it over and pushing it around!

My son got this toy for a 1st birthday gift. He loves it, AS A STEP STOOL!!!! He never plays with it, only to climb the thing to reach the unreachable. It is cute though, and might be good for a less active toddler. It makes noises, and I like the bright colors and shape sorting aspect, but really it's not worth 30.00.

We love this toy the only thing we find wrong with it is the parts. It has tons of them so you are constantly looking for balls, pails, buckets, the shapes and the hammer. But we would not trade it for the world because our daughter loves to sit and play with it for quite some time. We also like the fact it is a tool bench and we gave it to our little girl so she will grow up with as minium gender bias as possible. It gives her the feeling that if daddy can play with tools so can I! At the end of the night my husband and I round up the parts and put it back together for the nest day. WORD OF CAUTION: We love Little Tikes but everytime we get a product (this is the 5th time it has happened to us) from them we always open the box and a part is missing so you might want to check the box before you leave the store.

My son got this for christmas last year and He plays with it about every other day. I think its a cute toy but not a must have, there are better toys out there.

My daughter recieved this Christmas gift just this last christmas at the age of 10 months. Unlike others who have responded, I have found it to be extremely sturdy and durable, It can hold her weight just fine(she is NOT on the small side), and she uses it to stand assisted. After watching my husband and I put the balls in the slots a few times, she quickly figured it out on her own. she will drop all the balls in and then reach down to retrieve them and start the process all over again. The music is lively, but not annoying. I like the fact that she is getting to experiement with the idea of cause and effect as well as strengthing her leg muscles by standing :) I would highly recommend this toy to any parent of an almost one year old who can or will be able to stand even assisted soon. It is a toy that she constantly goes back too, while ignoring her humoungous toy box full of toys she would have to sit down to play with!! GREAT PRODUCT from Fisher Price!

I bought this product when my child was 7 mths. old and she learned very quickly to pull up on it, it is very sturdy. She is now 9 mths. old and is always playing with it and she weighs 20 lbs. and it holds her up just fine it has never tipped over with her. This was a very good investment. Putting it together was a little complicated but as far as that I would recommend it. Your child will absolutely love it!!!

My daughter received this as soon as she could sit up, and she is now almost 2 and still has no interest in it. The only thing she seems mildly amused by is the little star shaped music changer. I'll be packing it away pretty soon here. Kids are different, so the next one may like it, and yours may love it. If you can test one before you buy it, I highly recommend you do so. For now, we're having more fun with the pots and pans.

My child played with this toy very little compared to the other educational/activity type toys she has. She was bored with it very quickly. My daughter has a lot of the Leap Frog products, this one just doesn't compare to Leap Frog's other toys in the same age catagory. Keep shopping, there is something out there more fun for your little one.

My son likes it, but he hasn't learned anything from it. Oh, I take that back - he learned how to turn toys on and off - over and over and over and over again!! And how to turn the volume up!! He likes to pound it, but that's about it.

This is an excellent walker. I did not get it until my son was almost 8 months old and getting very frustrated by his limited mobility. I had thought I wouldn't get one since I bought all of the "walkers are bad" hype. I won't pass judgement until I'm in the situtation from now on.

I looked at all of the reviews and all of the walkers in the store with all of the bells and whistles. I like this one because it is low (my son is short) and I can give him his own toys without worrying if he will like the ones that come with the walker. It moves very very well across our berber carpet.

The toy bar seems hard, but is not bad. He has wacked his head a few times, but not complained. I may take it off because it only seems to get in his way as he does prefer his own stuff.

I did watch as he moved towards a small dip in the floor between kitchen and bathroom. I wanted to see what the walker would do. When one wheel went over the uneven surface, it immediately stopped moving! Wonderful safety!

My son just turned 5 mo and he has been using this walker for 2 mo. I bought/received a lot of toys for my first born child, all of which he played with for a couple of weeks then seemed to out grow due to normal advancement or size limitations. With the 3 hight settings I haven't had to worry much about size, and the tray in front works as a great highchair untill he will fit into a "normal" highchair. Although he has gotten board with the bears and the bar he used them as teathing toys, and now I use them to hook his other toys to so they don't fall to the floor. The colapse feature allows it to go to whichever babysitter has him making everyone's life so much easier. This is a multi-task "toy" that every mother will enjoy.

I bought this walker and used it with my first son and saved it. Now we have another baby on the way and I will use it again. It says a lot that they have the same one out 3 years later! Great buy and excellent product. Never had any problems, the adjustable height makes it easy to get perfect size for baby.

i bought this when my daughter was just over six months old, which was a little early. but just a few months later as she could pull up she loved it. the little buzzy bee was a big hit. even today at two years old she still plays with this on a daily basis. now when people her send her postcards from around the world she places it in her mailbox.

My 2 year old and then 7 month old were having their periodic pictures taken at Target Photo Studio as usual. My 2 year old, was not having a good day since he didn't nap well and the great lengths the photographer will go to get a smile wasn't working well as it usually does (she's usually sweating at the end of every one of my kids' sessions!). This toy was in the waiting area along with the other toys and my son immediately took to it. He insisted on having it in the room with him so we brought it in to play with inbetween pictures. My son, being stubborn had to have it on the platform with him when it was his turn. To keep him happy we kept the mailbox up there just out of view in the shot. His pictures turned out great with a good smile even though the plastic toy envelopes are in the pictures with him! This toy is wonderful, lots of fun and worth every penny.

I recently bought this adorable toy for my seven month old son, and love it. He sits and plays with it for longer than any of his other toys (about 20 minutes). I also have a three year old daughter and she plays with it as well. If you are looking for a charming, simple, durable toy that your child can play with for many years to come this is a good choice.

My 10 month old got this walker as a gift. She loves it, but I stopped letting her use it because I think it is dangerous. It has fallen on top of her a few times. The last time she fell, her legs got entangled in the sides of the walker and she hit her head on the floor. That was the last time she will ever use it.

I brought this item and found it was great for interaction, encouraged walking and great to ride on, but the problem with it was I found the wheels don't turn, this is why I returned the item (you can only go back and forth). It would only be good when the child gets older and has the strength to lift it, definately not recomended on wooden floors. It does say swival wheels but this does not occur I've tried two of them.

My daughter received this for her 1st birthday (as she has no inclination to walk). She LOVES riding the toy, playing with the balls, and pressing the nose for music. The music makes her dance ... she thinks it is the greatest thing.

My only complaint is that the locking mechanism underneath is HARD to unlock when wanting it in the Stride position ... however, I have to think about safety before convenience ..

Planning to purchase this for a pregnant friend ...

My freind bought this toy (in this design) at a used baby store. Her son (then 6 or 7 months) played with it for about ten minutes, and after that, he really paid no mind and it just got in the way.

This seemed like a versatile answer to the two strollers and car seats we have as a fun activity center to keep our son amused. Unfortunately, the arch does not fit on any of the items we had hoped it would. The clips do not expand far enough. It attaches on the top of the jogging stroller, but will come unclipped easily. There is no way the clips will attach to either car seat we own,(Britax or Graco). A great idea that just falls short.

I love to see the expression on my 10 wks year old baby girl,when she plays with the arch. The hot air balloon plays a tune that brings a smile to her face. It's also a familiar tune that soothes her when she is sleepy. Easy to attach to the car seat (I have a travel system stroller). I also use it to distract her while I'm changing her & attach it to the changing table. The colors are bright and attractive to the eye...especially a babies eye. Also, it's lightweight & easy to fold up.
