My daughter received this pogo stick as a gift when she was five. At age six, she is still getting the hang of it, but she and her friends in the neighborhood have had a lot of fun with it. The foam cover is durable and prevents rust and dents which could render the toy unsafe. Also, the spring is covered, so there is no easy opportunity for injury to the child or damage to the spring. This is quieter and safer than the pogo stick I grew up with in the 80's!

This is my first Pogo stick. It really helps you with other games for balance and especially with swings. I am only 7 years old and have it only two days so it is still hard for me, but I am practicing. Also this product is very nice colors and it feels nice to hold. I even got hit once and it didn't hurt because of the padding. I really like it

My son, Jake, received the pogo stick as a gift when he was five. It has become his prized toy above his scotter, bike, blades, etc. He is now almost eight and I thought would want a "better" version, but his pogo stick is irreplaceable: It is very durable and lightweight (we've taken it on many vacations) It is easy to manuever(he can jump over and around anything and for close to an hour with few stops). The other pogo stick is being returned and we're buying another of this version.

I bought these for my son's birthday party which was the day before Easter. Since we were having an egg hunt outside, I was VERY concerned about the number of children outside and since we have a corner lot, I wanted some sort of warning to oncoming motorists. So, I bought two of these signs and were they the hit of the day! They work so very, very well, they're extremely brightly colored so they're very visible from all angles. Plus, the red flag the little boy waves is an extra extension for folks to see. We have a couple of speedsters around our neighborhood and these guys provide just enough peace of mind whenever we're outside with out little one. He's never out of sight but still, if you have careless drivers around, these guys are awesome!

We live on a side street off of a main road. Because it is a rather long and straight road, cars have a tendancy to speed. The police refuse to post a speed limit lower than 30 mph. There are more than a dozen very young children within a span of 10 houses. We have all purchase one or two of these KidAlerts. IT HAS TRULY WORKED TO SLOW DOWN THE TRAFFIC. We put them out when the kids go out and always make sure we bring them in when the kids come in even if they are just coming in for lunch.

i have a 5 year old who loves to play outside and cross the street to visit nieghbors. i got one to slow down traffic on our busy street. unfortunately the next day after putting it up someone stole it. make sure to secure it in place if you get one. i assume it is just to tempting for the teenage population.

I think Fifa is really fun and better than other soccer games because it is easy to use ,setup,and control. IT is also a very fun and realistic game. I think yhis would be a greatgift for a child from ages 6-15

Great entertaining game, loved by kids and grown ups. I can spend several hours playing this competitive and realistic game with my buddies. I love the team management features where you can exchange players with other teams and also you can change the uniforms like you desire. The only thing I dont like is that it does not include important american teams like the ones in argentina and Mexico. But nonetheless, a trully great game. I cant wait for the latest version.

I placed the order on 9/21/01 and received it as promised, like new on 9/28/01. I am very satisfy and I recommend this seller

I rented this game twice and i'm still not impressed,it is "Borrrrring", still the same never changes! Too realistic and jumping is like in slow motion,backflips dull,graphics very good,stearing [is bad] too stiff, going up hill like you're in reverse,and not enough speed boost,need I say more!! anyway if your a maniac about racing like myself I suggest you rent it before you buy it!!! if you want to play an awesome game try FREEKSTYLE, now this game kicks some SERIOUS BUTT! and the fun never becomes undone! I give MX Superfly a big thumbs down. Like I said before great graphics and realism but anyone who gets bored real fast stay far away from this one it's a sequel to the first one.

I have the X box version of this game and it is great. However finding one that is made for PS2, that will actually load and play is another story. I wrote to THQ with no response from support. Tried this game on 4 different playstations, it froze in the same place each time. Probably why it is out of circulation. The fun rating I gave it was for the X box version. graphics and game play are great, I just prefer PS2.
Great motocross game, lots of fun.....addicting... just be careful buying one for PS2.

This game is tight.You get all the manufactuers like kawasaki,honda,suzuki,KTM,yamaha.The graphics are cool.It is so realistic.To sum it all up buy the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game has realistic basketball playing, with good passing and shooting simulations. The free-throws are statistically canned, but acceptable. The graphics are a bit blotchy, but the gameplay makes up for it. Better than several other basketball games that I tried.

Well, this game is an excellent game first of all. There are so many options in the game that will keep u playing till the next kobe. My favorite option is the Create-a-Player cause u can create a superstar by letting him get some playing time in the game; His attributes will rise if he does play well in a game. This feature is simply great.

Well i have to disagree with amazon's cons of the game, the graphics are fantastic. There are so much detail in the bodies and faces and the players actually move like real nba players. There are so many offensive weapons to help u score since the AI of the game is freakishly smart. My favorite is the pick system. This is where the hot shooters like glen rice or allan houston can score efficiently. Fast dribblers and great drivers in the lane like kobe bryant or allan iverson can just get a pick and blow right by the defense. The defense is really tough so u gotta outsmart the computer which is the challenge when playing great teams such as the Heat or Jazz.

The sound is great, lots of special effects. The announcer is great too, but gets tiresome after a couple of quarters. There is not much crowd in the bground. what i do is put the announcer level low and put everything on max. then i crank up my tv and it's great with the announcer low and crowd exploding after great plays.

Overall the game is a gem. Every n64 bball fan should get this. I had to chose this one over Nba Live even though they got MJ. nba live lacks the realism that this game has. THe game's speed is buttery smooth and will keep u in a sweat when playing great teams. Get this game, i recommend it=)

This game is the greatest. Having been from L.A. I know that Kobe Bryant will be a All-Star for YEARS to come. Now that he has two bling-blings he just might get 8 more when his 30! Anyway, This game is great not only because of the dunks, but the computer is a great challenge! Put it on the highest and you'll have your hands full.

As a baller, I know how hard KB works. I just want to tell him to keep up the good work!

My son loves trucks and we purchased this one for Christmas so he could have his very own big truck. He plays with it almost daily and loves to have the man that comes with it drive all 3 vehicles. The only downside to this is that our son has a difficult time putting the guy into the track cab. There are no doors to open which I think make this a plus on the durability side but make it harder for little hands to manuever him through a window. A great bargain for the price and you get 3 working vehicles.

we bought this very durable toy for our active 18 mo old about three years ago since then we have added a beautiful girl who is nearly three and they both love it.Little tikes has never disappointed and this item is no different it is even strong enough for them to ride on and they do all over the house

We bought this for our 2 yr old son because a friend had an older version of this toy that he loved. The older version was larger and the semi truck could disconnect from the trailer. My son didn't like this toy as well since it was connected and a smaller version. He played with it until we were given the older version. He still plays with the cars that came with it. We sent the truck to his grandparents house were it hopefully gets more play time when he visits.

This is one of the best games I've ever bought, and that's no exaggeration. I've never really been into golf games, like those Tiger Woods ones, but when I bought Mario Golf (MGGB) on the Game Boy Color, I was hooked. It's the only game that I actually still play from my GBC. And then this game came out. I never thought that they could outdo MGGB, but they did. Advance Tour, like MGGB, is actually a role-playing game disguised as a golf game! Ingenius! Instead of fighting enemies to increase your HP or MP, you play tournaments or complete tasks that increase your control, the height of your shot, drive distance and more. And the goal? Why, it's simple--to the best golfer and someday play Mario!

Graphics: (5/5) The Game Boy Advance's screen has never looked better. Bright colors and fabulous simulated 3D images. It's from the makers of "Golden Sun" (Camelot), so if you thought those graphics were awesome (I did), they're all here! Cool!

Sound: (5/5) The music is catchy and there's actual digitized voices! You can hear "Nice Shot" whenever you hit the ball perfectly or your character whine when he/she fails at a task. I don't know how they packed all this into one game!

Gameplay: (5/5) Okay, I'm not the most coordinated gamer out there, so for me to say that this game is easy to learn, it says a lot. But, like the real game of golf, it's easy to learn, but darned near impossible to master. Plus, the game is limited to the few buttons the GBA has to offer, so expect those buttons to be well used. The game itself is not merely a golf game, as I mentioned. Like the box states, "It's Role-Playing Golf" and that makes it much more interesting than a plain old golf game. But if you only want golf, you can have that, too, as well as a bunch of other mini golf-centered games. However, with all the features locked away in the "Story Mode," I'm not sure why anyone would buy the game and NOT play it like a regular RPG. Also, you can link to other GBAs for muli-player cooperative or head-to-head action. Camelot sure stuffed a lot of different features into this one tiny cartridge, let me say.

Replay Value: (5/5) You won't be able to put this game down. Ever. You will lose friends, pets and the ability to see without glasses. That's how much you'll be glued to your tiny front-lit screen. Like I said, the game is easy to learn, but near impossible to master and that's what will keep bringing you back for more. And then there's the ability to play with your friends in doubles play or against one another. There's just so much to do!

Let me start off by saying that this game is NOT just for people who love golf. I'm not terribly fond of the sport, although I used to go every once in a while. But Mario Golf, in the two incarnations I've played, are the BEST games out there. They combine the challenge of golf and RPG into one slick game that the whole family can enjoy. As far as I know, there's no violence in this game, so I can recommend this game to gamers of all ages, but because of the RPG-nature of this game, I think kids age 10 and up will appreciate the game much more. Oh, and adults won't be able to put it down, either.

This game is incredibly fun!

I'm not a golfer. I also don't play golf games on the PC, on a console, in a house, with a mouse... you get the idea. I saw all the great reviews of this on different game sites and thought I'd give it a try. After all, it was made by Camelot, the same designers who did the outstanding Golden Sun games for the GBA.

Rather than just being about playing golf, you get to spend time talking to other golfers, finding secrets, playing minigames, getting custom tickets so you can pick up special clubs, and gaining experience to improve your abilities. You have a partner in the game too and have to balance out spending experience points on your own character and on your partner. Get too good yourself and you'll be slammed on doubles play.

This game is simple to play and hard to master. You can perform the basic commands easily, but can really customize how you hit the ball, the spin you give it and more. You can make each shot as complex as you want to.

Mario Golf is a really really fun game. I thought I'd just play a few holes and haven't put it down for three days. This is a must have, up there with my top 5 games for GBA - Advance Wars 2, Golden Sun 2, WarioWare, Final Fantasy Tactics and now Mario Golf.

Very fun. If you like mario games & golf games this is the game for you.

we bought this bed for our 21 month old, when he started climbing out of his crib. He was so happy when he seen it and was excited to go to sleep, its only been two nights that hes had it and i only had to stay with him for 15 min the 1st night then he went all by his self, and has slept GREAT, he calls it his car-bed. the only thing is that it is hard to put the screws in, we had a hard time with it and the wheel came off, we called little tikes and they fed exd us with a new one. i would suggest anyone moving out of the crib to a big bed is to put up the new bed next to the crib, so it gets the toddler use to sleeping in there be fore they go into their big boy/girl room, it helped amazingly with us, our son is so comfortable with it! love the bed

We bought this bed for my son when he was 20 months old and I was pregnant with child #2. He loves it! He loves anything with wheels so we had no trouble moving him from the crib in the nursery to his big boy room complete with car bed (and truck wallpaper border of course!). What I like most about the bed is that the sides are higher than the mattress so that he can't roll out and we don't need a railing. If you feel that you need more of a side I have even seen people take out the box springs so that the mattress is enclosed on all sides. And of course, just like the rest of Little Tikes products, it is very durable. Well worth the money!

My 3 year old loves this bed and finally sleeps though the night! However, it uses a standard size twin mattress (38"wide x 75"long which creates a 4-inch gap along one side or 2-inch gap on both sides. My son gets his arms and legs stuck along the sides and if you put it on one side, his whole body would fit through the gap! I am very disappointed that this product does not fit the mattress as stated.

Have only played NHL 2002 a little bit, three stars may be a harsh (but there are no half stars which would have warranted 3 1/2). This game is enjoyable and very similar to the old EA Hockey on Sega Genesis, which isn't a bad thing. The rosters are current, or at least as current as the beginning of the season. And one real cool feature is create a player, where you can add yourself to any team. Now you can see yourself on a real NHL team, although distracts from playing trying to get "yourself" to score all the time to boost your stats but thats what makes it fun. The graphics are ok, looks more like 16-bit than 32. I rate the sounds lower, stick checks and hits sound like throwing rocks inside a submarine. Overall it has good features, season, playoff and a "practice" mode. Fighting is not one of the good ones, hard to make out graphics. Will be interesting to see how NHL Hitz 2002 compares when it comes out. If you are a hockey fan and are dying to pick up a hockey game for your GBA like I was, then buy it and it will keep you entertained.

When you buy any sports games for a portable system like the GBA, you are always skeptical of how bad the game is gonna be, because we aren't expecting anything great. NHL 2002 exceeded my expectations and delivered a solid hockey game! The graphics aren't too shabby, the sound is decent, the gameplay is dead on, and the replayability is there. EA's NHL franchise for the GBA, in my opinion, really outdoes the Madden franchise for the GBA. And I am even a die-hard football fan! This game proved that you can make a great sports game for the GBA. Now if only the Madden franchise for the GBA could deliver!

This game is one of the best NHL games i've ever played. It has all kinds of features. One of the best things in this game are the graphics. The graphics in this game are about as good as the grahics of the Playstation 2 and the Game Cube. The game also has great player detail, and it has every player from the 2001 NHL season. It also has fights, practice games, trades, and a create a player mode. The fights in this game are really fun, even though they don't have blood like some other games do. In practice games you can do one on two, three on one, five on two, or any other combination of player games. Create a player mode is cool because you can put yourself into the game. You can upgrade a players stats to make him have greater shot power, stick handeling, speed, or a bunch of other things. This game is great. I advise you to buy it as soon as posible.

I'm an 11 year old and I'm a Tony Hawk fan! I think that this is a good idea. As you may know already, Tony Hawk is rated T, but it is a fun game. I think it was good of them to let smaller kids have some fun with it too, but not with all the bad language and stuff. My only complaints are that some of the challenges are extremely easy, but I guess that this game was mainly for younger kids and they might have a harder time with it. My other complaint is that some of the songs are too...I dunno. I'm not very "in" to all that music, but there were a few good songs in this game like the "where's your head whatever" song. I guess that the music was mainly for younger kids too. Anyway, this game is a great buy. If you have children who around 8 years old, they'll LOVE this game! Even I do.

I rented this game for my 7-1/2 year-old son. He made faces at first but then played it solid. The graphics are fun, the challenges are at a good level for him. Hard enough to frustrate him a bit, easy enough that he eventually gets it and is proud of himself. I happen to like the soundtrack, having a dozen or so distinct songs is so much better than the usual repetitive "video game" sound. We turned down the voices and turned up the music.

My only complaints are (1) that the Disney character voices are not done by the original voice actors. Some of them are not even close. (2) The 2-player mode gets old really quick as you are just trying to beat each other's score, even with three games. It would have been nice to compete or team up for the games regular goals.

My friend's parents rented Disney Skate Adventure for his youngest brother. We walked by as he was playing the game and laughing to himself. So we sat down to check it out. We were just watching him play but it looked like fun, and we wanted to try also. We ended up playing the game with him for a long time. The game plays just like Tony Hawk 4, but with characters from Toy Stroy and Lion King and Tarzan. It is a nice change to play a top quality video game that is also lighthearted and good for kids. The graphics are pure Disney quality, the goals and characters are funny and the music is not your standard Disney orchestra stuff - and that's a bonus. I plan to order a copy to my own collection, and I'd recommend it as a great gift for kids.
