Baby Toy Reviews

We bought this for our one year old son, he is now three. He plays with it all the time. Very durable, it looks like we just bought it. He puts everything in it and pushes it around. I highly reccommend this toy well worth the money spent.

We recieved this as a 1st birthday gift for our son, who is still going throught the teething/chewing on everything stage. I must say after he played with the little man that is in the truck I was horrified to see his mouth full of yellow paint. It seems the hard hat on the little man is painted and not colored plastic. And it all peels off if it is put in the mouth. My son does love the toy and plays with it all the time, just not the man that goes with it!

We got this for our son for Christmas last year (he just turned 1). He plays with this everyday! He loves running around and pushing the truck everywhere and especially loves dumping all of the pieces out! The only complaint I have is the latch for the dump bucket. It's hard for him to get it unlatched himself so he can dump the blocks, and that really upsets him. Other than that it's a great toy!!!!!

I bought this floatie earlier this summer for my 8 month old daughter. It was the only one I could find that was suggested for her age and had a built in shade. I don't have to worry about her head getting burned. She has had a lot of fun floating in the pool using the buggy. I was very happy to find that it is very sturdy, and it does help keep her out of the sun. I definitely recommend this floatie.

MY SON HAD A BLAST IN THE CAR AT THE BEACH. HE IS 11 MONTHS AND LOVE RIDING OVER THE WAVES. HE LOVES IT IN THE POOL AS WELL. HEY MOMS THE TOP OF THIS CAR HAS A ROOF FOR SUN PROTECTION. GREAT PRODUCT. LOVE IT!!!

I tried every baby boat with a shade out there for our 10 month old as we live in sunny AZ. This was the best one I tried, and it's very cute. Although it could be easier to get him in and out, it isn't bad if you just tilt the canopy over to the side. I would suggest velcro on the BACK supports to alleviate this. (My friend has a bulldozer boat that has velcro in the FRONT and the baby plays with the velcro a lot.) The "spring float" allows him to sit too low in the water and he keeps putting his face in the water unless you hold him upright continuously. I think the spring float would be more appropriate for about 18 months rather than 9 months as it says (and my boy is not small!). The "adjustable shade float" is okay as a boat, but the shade is horrible. It doesn't really sit over the baby's head for shade and it is so floppy that doesn't stay nice and rounded like the picture shows, even if you overinflate it. We even took the "sun smart buggy" on vacation with us, and several people at the resort wanted to know where we got it.

This bed is a great value for the price. It is fairly simple to put together and incredibly sturdy. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the bed. I only have 2 complaints - 1) one side rail had a chip and the finish is now splitting and peeling away and 2) the side rails only come up maybe 3 inches over the mattress. These are not tall enough to really keep our daughter from falling out of the bed. She is old enough now (2.5 yrs) that I'm not too worried about it but if your child moves around a lot in their sleep, you may need to use some sort of extra rail. Overall, we are very happy with the bed and our daughter absolutely loves it. The color and style are beautiful and it looks great in her room.

My 2 year old daughter started wanting to sleep in "mommies bed" every night, and at nap times, and not in her crib. So I knew it was time for her own "big-girl bed." When I ordered this bed, I also ordered the Sesame Street bedding set, because she's crazy about Elmo, and the Sealy Mattress. I put the picture of the bed that shows the Sesame Street bedding on it, on the wall of her bedroom, and said, "Look, there is your new "Big-girl bed!" She loved it, and referred to it as "her bed" when showing the picture to family and friends that came over. The bed came quickly, was EASY TO ASSEMBLE, was good quality, and looked beautiful. What a great value! Within a couple of days, my daughter was completely comfortable climbing in her new bed, and going right to sleep. And everyone who sees her bed has a fit over how adorable it is! We love this bed!!! Thanks so much!!

I put this bed together with the help of my 2 1/4 year old son, it went together smoothly and I thought the quality was very good. He was very excited from the get-go, and helped change over the crib mattress and set up the sheets, blankets, his stuffed animals and pillows. Putting him to bed in it took a little longer the first night, as he was very excited, but he slept well. I'm happy with it and glad that I did not have to go through the higher expense of a twin bed, mattress, sheets, etc. I also like that it's low to the ground vs. a twin bed.

My 6 1/2 month old daughter loves this toy. The music and animal noises and flashing lights are fun for her and Mommy doesn't find it annoying like some of the other toys are. ;^) It's educational too in an action/reaction sort of way - different actions the baby does make the toy do different things. My daughter figured out how to change the animal sounds from one to another (for ex: from a dog barking to a duck quacking) and I didn't know it could do that! Hah! I think it will last too, because she's rough on toys and it seems to be very sturdy. It's also very safe w/ no rough edges or anything. I don't know if she'll like it when she's 12 months or older, but for now at 6 1/2 months she's really enjoying it.

My son got this from his great grandma for his first christmas, he was 7 mo old and this was absolutely his favorite toy. Every toy he owns plays some kind of music which he just gets so excited. The music is not at all annoying, and he can play with it several times a day for at least 30 min or more. I don't find any of the music on his toys annoying, because if he is happy then mom is happy!

My 10 month old son loves this toy. He plays with it all the time. We have had no problems with it whatsoever. It seems to hold his attention and the sounds are very pleasant.

My daughter received this for Christmas at 3 months old. She is now 9 months old and still does not like it. Very boring. She can not press the button herself an adult must do it for her.

Well, I bought my six month old son this toy and it seems like he just loves it!

This is a great toy, and I would highly reccomend it. Every time I take it anywhere, kids from 10 to 0 yrs want to watch and play with it. It has been great for my eight month old as well. He has yet to figure out how to turn it on himself, but I like that it won't be outgrown so quickly and he will continue to have fun with it once he learns to activate it. The only thing I would add is a volume control since the music is quite loud, and there is only an on/off control. As I am finding with many toys, the cheaper the better, and at $10 this is a great buy and lots of fun.

I have 3 children that have all went through one soft filled ball. It's a must for the house when they first learn to throw one! I guess throwing a ball, (which is a good thing) would be the educational value of having one.

I bought this one for a friend's baby shower (to be from our kids), and since the theme happens to be "Winnie the Pooh," it works perfect! It's a good size, cute, soft, nice colored (earth tones) ball with a patch of Winnie on one side, Piglet on another, and Tigger too! We really like it! Hope new baby will too!

My son has had this since he was born, but is much more interested in it now that he can sit up. He likes to sit next to it and rock it back and forth so it makes its rattling sound. Since it is a block shape it doesn't roll too far away from him which is great since he doesn't crawl yet. The block is very soft and attractive. The animals are felt stitched on to a velour block. Very sweet, but only surface washable, which is why I rate its durability only 4 out of 5 stars. Ours is still in great shape though.

We got this as a present and had high hopes for it because our baby is fascinated by things that make noise. Unfortunately, she bats it a few times and loses interest. She doesn't like the Gund plush rattle either. I think they are too smooth and plush to be interesting toys to a 6 month olds since they can't be grabbed easily, teethed on or pounded loudly.

I purchased this toy based on the excellent reviews it had here at Amazon, it looked also like a fun toy with educational value. I am very disappointed. For starters, my son finds it very frustrating that the front pieces for eyes, face & hat can only go on in one order. He also has trouble pulling the pieces apart once they are together, and he is very dextrous for his age. Also disappointing is the lack of container to store all the pieces in. Without this, the blocks are loose in my son's toybox and we can never find all the pieces. The packaging could easily be redesigned to hold the pieces. All in all, it is not a toy he can sit and play with without assistance, as I had thought it might be. When he does play with it he enjoys it for about 15 minutes and moves on to something else. We could have done without this toy under our Christmas tree.

We got this for our son for his second birthday. He loved it but we had problems right away that it didn't recognize when it was the dump truck or fire engine like it was suppose to and would just go off for no reason. Of course we had an awful time trying to sneak it away from our son. We went to the store to get another and the one they had didn't work either. Buy at your own risk.

My son got Timmy for his 2nd birtday and has not stopped taking it apart and putting it together. This was a great gift for him.

I got this toy for my little brother. And he loves it! It was perfect for him. The only time it didn't work was when I he used it on my knee and I was were slippery pants. He fell off. Otherways its a great toy and loves the "reigns"

We love all of the mommy and me toys, so I was very happy to find something for "daddy and me". My son likes the pony, but it is a bit small for an 8 month old and is tricky to keep on a knee.

All of the textures - crinkle, plastic, rattle, terrycloth - are a hit with my son. The toy is well constructed and brightly colored.

I would have no objection to paying a little more for the same thing a little bit bigger.

The knee pony is very small, even for my 9-month-old, and it doesn't stay on my knee for more than three seconds. It looks cute, sure, but I'd recommend just about any other toy before this.

Just bought this for my 3 year old daughter - the dolls are adorable and very nice - the stroller is ok but the sun shade would not adjust properly...and I have put together quite a few toys in the past years..so I would say that if your child wants a double stroller, it is worth the money (...) to get the 2 dolls and stroller even with the sun shade taken off.

Great for older children because if you are maybe planning to have children you'll know what to do. It is also good if you like younger children & don't have a younger sibling.

My family searched high and low for a double stroller since my daughter loves to put more than one doll in her stroller and always gets frustrated by the fact that they can't fit. Finally, she got this one for her birthday. We were so excited. Of course, she loved the babies (although we noticed that she already had the same ones), but the stroller is made ridiculously! Even though my daughter is tall for someone turning four (about 42 1/2 inches), I can tell you that anybody at her age would find this stroller extra low to the ground. It's wierd and clearly was not tested on the appropriate age group before finalizing the product. I concur with the others that the canopy is a piece of junk that broke within 1 hour of my daughter using the stroller, merely by her moving it back and forth. So, sadly enough, I had to convince my daughter that we should box up the babies and stroller and return it and promised her I would find her another one. It is not even worth the sale price if it's not a functional stroller. Maybe if your child is petite or 2/3, it would be fine. But not any older than that.

I bought this based on a great review in the Oppenheimer Toy book I bought. I am very disappointed! My daughter is 11 months old and with just a bit of a nudge, she's able to knock it over and it comes apart and she loses interest. She's not even interested in playing with the balls that came with it - not to mention there's nowhere to store the balls so they just end up at the bottom of our toybox anyway. Wouldn't recommend...

We received the Symphony Tower as a gift for our ten month old daughter, and boy, is it great! It's cool to look at. It has a great feel! It has great noises on the "silly sounds" setting, and the notes and music on the other settings are pretty good too. Our daughter loves to drop the ball down the funnel and then to try and stop it on the way down. She also loves to roll the ball back and forth with us, just sitting on the ground. The tower's volume is truly adjustable--between loud and louder, but it's really fun, and it can help the active young toddler pass a lot of time in independent, if not quiet, play. The only drawback is that the top piece of the tower comes off relatively easily, and we're usually trying to find it. But not to worry, the toy works pretty well without it. Dad likes to play the tower too.

My nephew loves this toy. I gave it to him for Christmas (he was 6 months old) and he still plays with it now that he is 1 year. And the balls are so cute!
