wonderful, but...
My son loves this toy so much that he plays it whenever he's in his crib. It's lovely to listen to and to watch without being strident or silly. However, it consumes batteries at such a phenomal rate that I have had to buy recharchable batteries (and a charger!). | 45 stars

Works well, easy to install
Best thing abt this product is that it doesnt require any nails that I dont want to use in my rented place. The instructions take some serious reading to understand, but once you get it, its easy to install. And my 14 month old is not able to get it opened. Thats a big relief! I love this product. I wish it came with free shipping for prime members. | 34 stars

Love It!
I just bought this yesterday for my six-month-old son. His diaper area was getting red and irritated and his pediatrician said that the combination of wearing a diaper all the time and cold wipes was causing the redness (he's always had sensitive skin). I also bought the everfresh pillows that are used with the Prince Lionheart wipe warmer and use them in the travel size version (they fit perfectly though it doesn't say they're okay to use but I figure it's fine). Using the pillows probably mean I can fit less wipes in it but it's no trouble to refill it! It works great! I simply fill it with wipes from the big refill packs we use and when it comes time for diaper changes they're the perfect warmth. He actually smiles now during his diaper changes! The warm wipes also work great for wiping off sticky fingers and faces with baby food smeared all over! He used to screach when I'd wipe his face after meals but now he doesn't mind at all! The best baby gadget I've bought (and I've bought alot!). I'll definitely be saving it for the next baby and only wish I'd had it when my son was a newborn and screamed during the middle of the night changes! | 45 stars

Not too heavy and no more kicking off!
Our son would always find a way to kick off a regular blanket, or the blanket would migrate downwards and get caught in the stroller wheels or stroller path. No more. We wanted a lightweight blanket with some wind resistance and got it. I highly recommend this for anyone with an active toddler on a cold morning - keeps them happy, as they can still kick, but it also keeps them warm. Washable too. | 45 stars

The best, drip-free sippy bottle for kids
After becoming completely frustrated with leaky sippy cups, we went on a buying spree to find a sippy cup that would not drip. The lone cup that passed the test? The Playtex Insulator! We are still using two of the very first Playtex Insulators that we bought at our local grocery store around 2 years ago, and they do not leak. Some other relevant features:--The top (mouthpiece) is plastic, not rubber, which means our toddler has not yet been able to chew or bite any holes in it. Our kid destroyed many other rubbery-style sippy cups simply by biting through them.--There are two holes under the mouthpiece cap and they are each plugged with a single, sturdy silicone valve thing. This simple design seems to be part of why the thing just doesn't drip or leak.--Yes, it actually insulates. Hot or cold drinks stay that way for maybe two hours.--I believe it's dishwasher safe. We've run it through without mishap. The underside of the mouthpiece can be a little tricky to clean by hand, but it's a small price to pay for sippy cup perfection. | 45 stars

Does a good job
I purchased the Built NY thirsty tote to hold the Sigg bottles (larger kids size) that I have for my girls (3 and 4 years old). It does a good job insulating the bottles to keep water cool and it also protects the bottles when they drop them. The totes make it easier for my girls to carry the bottles. It kind of acts like a little purse. They love that. Overall I like the totes a lot and they serve there purpose well. | 45 stars

You have to know the facts!
In order for these bottles to work the way they are supposed to, you can't overtighten them and you have to know that bubbles in an Avent are GOOD!The nipple ring is designed to let air back into the bottle so your baby doesn't work against a vaccum, so if you see little bubbles going up the bottle, ITS A GOOD THING!The nipples are hard, but so are mommy's! They are designed to make breastfed babies breastfeed longer! No wimpy babies here! | 34 stars

sooooo simple
I looked and looked for a tub for my daughter-in-law to bathe our new grandson. One that fit on the kitchen sink. I finally ordered this one and our newborn loves it. He hated his bath until we tried this. Now he is cozy and comfortable. Great product and much better than the ones we had when I was raising babies! | 45 stars

Heaven Scent Champ!
I love this diaper Champ. I got it as a shower gift and hadent heard of it before but when I started using it I had to tell all my friends. This will definatly be my gift of choice from now on to all my pregnant friends. As other reviews say the smell isnt that great when it gets full but its not that bad (I see it as a hint the bag is full and its time to change). I also spray the inside w/ febreeze or lysol disinfectant during each change and that nips the problem in the bud. Overall, Its one of those things that I cant live without but didnt know it until I got it. | 45 stars

FITTING THE GRACO SNUG RIDE
Along with others trying to fit the Graco snug ride car seat, we experienced the same frustrations with getting the seat to fit into the "I" setting. After an hour of fighting to get the screws to fit it, we discovered that the snap bar was assembled incorrectly from the factory. The bar was assembled backwards and the buttons to change the position of the bar to 1-5 were on the inside vs. the outside. We took the snap bar back to Babies R Us and showed them the problem and exchanged the bar for another snap bar that was assembled correctly. Once we discovered the problem. it took us an additional 10 minutes to complete the assembly and the car seat fits securely into the snap n go. We have a few more weeks before our new arrival, but this is now one thing we can take off our "To Do List"..... | 34 stars

North States Swing Gate. Absolutely worth every penny!!
I searched for sturdy gates to put in several doorways to contain my dogs when needed. I have to say that I am impressed with the quality & durability of this product. This is not a flimsy gate at all, unlike some of the others I looked at. The latch is also durable as well, and I like the fact that the gate can be removed completely if needed (the hooks remain in the wall).Great product & great buy! | 45 stars

Daddy diaper bag
My son was very happy with this bag. He wanted a bag that he could carry that represented him as a dad. It was very well constructed and had a lot of pockets for items. | 45 stars

Only swaddling blanket your older baby won't be able to get out of!
A friend gave us this as a baby gift and intially I was a little intimidated (it seemed complicated for my sleep deprived new mommy brain). So very early on we used the velcro "swaddle me" wraps and those worked well to calm our daughter. Very quickly though she figured out to get her arms out of those and would wake herself up. So we tried this blanket and it's great (and not complicated at all)! It's the only blanket that stayed snug (didn't bunch up in her face which is a SIDS concern) and that she couldn't wiggle herself out of. It is very adjustable so you can use it longer than most other swaddlers. We eventually switched to a sleep sack when she started rolling over/sucking her thumb, but this got us through all the early months. | 45 stars

Great Product
We really wanted something that our active baby could enjoy. He did like being in the exersaucer, but it wasn't as stimulating....he wanted to jump constantly. We purchased this, as we live in a home with over 9' ceilings. It would be impossible to use anything that mounted in a door frame and we REALLY wanted to be able to move the unit from room to room if necessary. This was perfect! Our son loved making the noises and music come on with his actions (all sound is adjustable...on/off) and we could adjust the tension so that he could jump his little heart out! I loved that I could move it into another room easily if I needed to. If you have an active baby, or a REALLY active baby, this would be perfect!The only reason I did not give this a perfect score....1.) It is not "easily folded" for storage, it does take up some space, but not nearly as much as others on the market. And 2.) I really wish they would have thought about some sort of mat or cushioning pad that would secure to the bottom. We put towels underneath when our son used it on our hardwood floors, but it seemed to be fine on a carpet.I highly recommend this product. I think this piece of equipment was used the longest, after of course the pack-n-play. It was well worth the price and our son got a lot of enjoyment from it. I know that my next baby will enjoy it also. | 34 stars

Not so great
The velcro that attaches to the mattress does keep the sheets snug, but getting the sheet off requires some force and can pull too [...] the seams of the bed. I don't trust that no damage is going to occur.I bought the expensive organic sheet from Arm's Reach for the mini co-sleeper, and I like it because the velcro does not attach. Maybe that's a flaw, but it is so much easier to get on and off (and avoid damaging the bed), and it's plenty snug. Plus, no pesticides used with it. | 12 stars

Uncomfortable sling
This sling is just a piece of cloth in the shape of a sling. Very uncomfortable for my baby. I found a much, much cheaper one at Wal-Mart that is better than any name brand sling. My baby will only take his naps in the Wal-Mart sling. | 12 stars

works!!
This really works! Ever since my 20month old started using his Graco Booster, his head would drop to his chest when he falls asleep in the car. The cradler manages to keep his head steady so it doesn't droop. I'd definitely recommend this. | 45 stars

Very Thin and leaks

Excellent system - I love it!
The Diaper Genie 2 has proven to be excellent. We owned a Diaper Champ to begin with and liked it at first. But odor and difficulty emptying the thing became a problem. We decided to buy the Diaper Genie 2 and hope for the best. We definitely made the right choice! Odor has been non-existent and the Genie is very easy to empty. Once you figure out how the refills work, it's a breeze! The Diaper Genie is also smaller, which is nicer because it fits in my daughter's room better and keeps the bag of diapers lighter. The refills last a long time and with coupons are not too expensive. And they are easier to work with than regular trash bags. | 45 stars

GREAT
My baby was allergic to disposable wipes and I ended up with those reusable wipe. They are GREATno more diaper rash, easy to clean and dry almost instantlyso happy with them and so less trash !!! | 45 stars

Great product! Makes traveling a little easier!
This is the best product. I stressed for months trying to figure out how I was going to keep my sons milk from going bad on long car rides or trips. I refused to continue to buy formula when my son no longer needed it and I was not going to go out of my way to buy small amounts of milk from a convenience store when it is needed. I saw this product and I figured I would give it a try. I am so happy I did! I use tommy tippee bottles and they are wide and short and I wondered if two would even fit at one time, but they did! The only reason I gave 4 stars out of five is because after several weeks of using this I found that it doesn't stay cold the full 12 hours like it says. On average it will keep cold for about 7 or 8 hours, but I also left it in the hot car while out doing stuff and come back to grab a bottle hours later and they're still freezing cold! Definitely worth the money! | 34 stars

LOVE IT!
This is an excellent and very affordable tub! I ordered this for my 6 week old son and he loves it. The sling makes it a comfortable experience for baby to relax in. I love the colors and the little nook for the bath supplies to go into! | 45 stars

VERY handy!
This monitor is VERY handy. Living in a 2 story house, it makes life a lot easier being able to see what baby is up to when he's making noises. | 34 stars

Okay Product...
As with other reviewers, I agree that this CD player eats batteries. However, I use the timer on it and it works much better than just allowing it to run all night. I disagree with the reviewers who contend that the night light is weak or dim. I think it is a perfect light; who really wants a super-bright light shining on their baby when they are trying to get them to sleep anyway? I have had no problems with the CD's skipping. The only reason I give this product 3 stars instead of more is because of the rate at which it uses batteries; I'd prefer the batteries last longer but, again, using the timer has helped even with that complaint. | 23 stars

confused about the great reviews...
I bought these sippy cups based on the great reviews, but I'm disappointed. Yes, they don't leak, but my daughter (2 yrs old) has a hard time sucking the milk/juice from them, like the spill proof seal is a little too tight. And even when she does get the milk out, there is always about a half inch left that she can't get out because the spill proof insert sticks out too much and doesn't allow the milk to funnel down... even when I tried to drink from it to see why she was struggling with getting that last bit out, I couldn't. Bad design... wasteful and it frustrates my daughter because she can see more in the cup but can't get it out. | 12 stars

Works Great!
I've had this pump for approximately two months now. I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommond it! I work part-time and don't have to pump every day - for those that do need to pump everyday throughout the day... suck it up and get the $$$$$ one. I just wanted to spend $300 on something else (besides a pump). I was very weary about getting a less expensive brand (because I've been the type of person that believes you get what you pay for) but I am happily surprised with how great this works. It's comfortable & fast. Also, make sure you get the dual pump and save yourself valuable time! We Moms have better things to do other than pumping!I would rate it 5 stars but *rarely* the milk backs up and you have to shut it off so it won't get into the motor. Then once turned off the milk drops into the bottle and you can start it up again to continue. (I think it's because sometimes the milk gets foamy - air creates bubbles in the milk.)I'm so glad that I didn't break down and get the $300 Medela pump-n-go! Thanks Evenflo Comfort Select for offering an alternative!Good Luck Moms! | 34 stars

It's alright, hard to fill
My husband had a hard time filling this with water. You really have to squeeze the whole and even then it takes a while. Our daughter is 12 months but hates belly time so I thought we would try this. It is a good idea but does not keep her interest. | 23 stars

Nice product
I was really excited to get the Take-Out Time-Out mat. I thought that it would work, but my son kept getting out all the time! I would stand my him and make sure he would sit there, but he thought it was a game! I guess it depends on your childs personality as my son thinks that life is so fun and always a joke! Maybe it would work if he is a little older (he is 2). Otherwise the product was nice and i liked the little bag it came with! Will try it again with my other kids! | 34 stars

Worked with my baby!! LOVED IT!!
We got this product for our baby when she was 6 months old. She would sit in it until she got around a year. We took the seat off and even though she is still only at the cruising stage she is now pulling up on it to play with it.When she did sit in it before she would run around in circles and she just loved it. I would absolutely recomend this to EVERYONE.The problem that I had with other 'walk around' products was that it seemed that the activities were on the thing that they walked around in. What fun is that?With this one they HAVE to walk around to get to all of the stations so it is great!! | 45 stars
|
Love them!
I love playtex drop in bottles! They are the best bottles out there and have been for a long time! They are great at reducing gas because you push all the air out of the bottle before feeding! These are the only type of bottles I've used for my three children and as a child caregiver I've used a lot of different bottles. Playtex drop ins are the best! | 45 stars
|
These are Wonderful!
I bought these after trying the Avent disposables, which I did not like. These basically work the same but with out all the fuss of getting a disposable bottle together. You do have to take them apart to clean them, but it is simple. My daughter loved these bottles, she never had gas from these bottles. I loved them, I would recommend them to any new mother. If you want the same features of disposable's, but don't want to mess with them, buy the vent-air, they really do work. | 45 stars

pretty good
My wife got a new car the same time we had our new baby, so we got this, hoping to protect the leather from being dented and stained from food and the babyseat. All in all I think it's doing a pretty good job of both. We will likely get another one for our next baby. Since my vehicle is older, I just put an old towel down on the seat first, and saved us some money. | 45 stars
|
Gets the job done!
The second I noticed my little one reaching for the outlets, I jumped on amazon to get these primed over asap. A 36 pack is the perfect quantity to cover the whole house (three bedroom, dining room, living, den and eat in kitchen). He hasn't been able to pry these off and are easy enough for me to remove as needed. | 45 stars

m&msmom
The color really is more of a lime color rather than the sage color of the pictures, as other reviewers have stated, but it still works...The bag to put it in is very cute but pretty small to try and fit it into but could be used for something else. I have had my cover for 2 years now and it is still in great shape! It does fade with washing even with only air dry. This is a must have for any mother!!! I have since purchased another one so we have one for each car. They now come in so many cute colors...They work great in all carts, even Costco. It is a bit large when you use it at a restaraunt high chair but keeps the seat covered. | 45 stars

Mostly Pleased
My daughter loved this toy when we first bought. The only problem I had with it was that once she became mobile (She's 8.5 months now and nearly walking),she didn't like being confined in it. She is fine if I am next to her playing with her in it; however, she will not stay in it to let me cook dinner or do any other chores! | 34 stars

LOVE it!
I like the size. It's perfect to put it both indoors and outdoors. And it's very easy to clean too.I wish it were slightly thicker. Other than that, it's beautiful! | 45 stars

Great Deal
I bought these diapers simply because it will save me money. And now I don't have to waste gas going to the store for only diapers. As long as the price stays the same I will be more than happy to keep buying my diapers this way. | 45 stars

Life Saver
I am 37 weeks (1st pregnancy) and had major hip, back and pubic pains when I walked, tried to get up and rolled over in bed. I knew pregnancy had it's aches and pains, but it was getting ridiculous. After my last Dr. visit and complaining about the aches and pains, I found out I had Pubis Symphysis. My Dr. suggested I see a Orthopedic Specialist and get a maternity/pelvic belt. I do not want to be spending more time at any more Dr.'s visits, so I decided to go for the maternity/pelvic belt route (I will go to the specialist if it gets really bad). I ordered this belt (in medium) on Tuesday and got it Thursday. I immediately put it on. I swear to you, my most of my pains went away! I could walk around easier, get up without struggling and roll over in bed with no pain!!! I can't believe how easy I rolled over in bed last night. If you sleep in it, I recommend loosing it a bit so it's not too tight. All I can say is, Thank goodness after searching the internet, I found this! I was complaining that I couldn't take 3 more weeks of pregnancy, but with this I think I may be able to tolerate these last few weeks without begging to get induced!!! | 45 stars

Great sturdy gate, easy to assemble
I really like this gate so far. We are planning to convert our daughter's crib to a toddler bed soon and don't want her wandering around the house on her own; so we bought a gate to keep her contained in her bedroom at sleeptime. I chose this gate based on the reviews and the price and the fact that it came with the extensions, which for most gates are rather expensive for a couple of metal bars! It was very easy to assemble and set up in the doorway. The pressure mount is great since we are renting and do not want all kinds of holes in the walls. The walls leading into her bedroom are not perfectly parallel, but the gate still works perfectly. At one point, the door stopped swinging shut on its own in one direction, which I found out was due to the bottom of the gate sliding a little so that it wasn't perpendicular to the floor. It was a quick fix and is back to closing again. Like others, I wish there were a mechanism to keep the door open when wanted, though most of the time I am liking having it shut anyway. For when I do want it open, I have a ribbon tied to the closet door handle which I then attach to the gate to hold it open. I would definitely recommend this product! | 34 stars

Bugs are fun!!
We received this playpen as a gift for our daughter who is now 11 months old. We started putting her in it when she was 9 months and still use it...at Grandma's for sleeping, in the kitchen when she doesn't want to be in the highchair, outside to get some yard work done....we put toys in and she has played in it for up to 2 hours!! I even got presents wrapped and cookies baked while she was in it! It has been a wonderful addition to our arsenal and she plays alot with the attached toys, as well. Highly recommended! Everyone told us she'd HATE a playpen and cry the whole time..she LOVES being in it. | 45 stars

Depends on the age group
I used them on my 2 year old at night for a week, they fit, and he is now completely potty trained.I picked this brand because of the claim that they grow with the child. I can barely get them on my small-waisted 38 pound 4 year old, and they leak if he doesn't stay dry.I highly recommend fastening them and turning them inside out to wash. Great idea to whoever posted that! | 23 stars

Better than expected!
I got this as a fold away sleep option for when my 2 yr old niece sleeps over. Straight out of the box its ready to go! I got a bit curious as to how sturdy it actualy was (it says up to 75lbs) well it held all 244lbs of me no problem!! Mine has the strap not the bar through the center and it wasnt a problem at all! I tossed a little extra padding on just to make it even better and she loves it!! Toddler bedding fits it nicely too which is nice because I dont really like the sheet thing that came with it. Over all, great buy!! | 45 stars

GREAT FEEDING SYSTEM
I have been using the Avent system since my son was six weeks old. At five weeks we had to start using formula, and I tried the bottles that I had registered for, the Evenflo Ultra Sensitive Response bottles. The formula literally poured out of these, and my baby could not keep up with how fast it came out. I then started using the Avent bottles, and I have not had any problems with them at all. The 4 oz. size is perfect for the diaper bag. The only time I had a problem with leaking was when the bottle's nipple wasn't in the ring correctly. I haven't had any problems when they are put together correctly, which isn't difficult. Unfortunately the Avents are a little pricey, but I think it's worth it because they work so well! | 45 stars

Potty Pal Review
I was so excited to purchase this potty. My son was still using the seat from his baby potty chair and putting it on the big potty (so he didn't fall in.) When I saw this, I thought it would be wonderful because I could get rid of that extra little seat that was probably a germ bank. I think the idea is great if you purchase it while your child is still potty training and doesn't have a preconceived notion of what a potty should feel like. My son used it for a month (I insisted on "giving it your best shot"), and he was consistant in saying that it hurt is bottom. Sure enough, he would have a pretty red ring when he stood up. My son is slight of build, and is not very heavy. However, he does enjoy a good "bathroom" magazine, so he sits for a good 5 minutes. Another thing to consider in my review is that he has always used a padded child's seat. This may have led to a tender bum bum. Who knows, but I will be taking it off, giving it a good home at a friends house, and purchasing another cushy seat to replace the one I threw away. | 23 stars

Functional and durable
This is one of our favorite baby products we purchased. It's completely functional. We used it at home and took it with us everywhere. It's small but still comfortable for our son who was a large baby (too large to sit in the bumbo chairs). He loved sitting in it. It's also a cinch to clean compared to other chairs we've used. It's very durable so we'll definitely be able to use it for our other kids too. | 45 stars
|
Great fit for kid and car
We also have the roundabout which I also like. The Marathon has a thin base, so I can still fit two more kids in the back of my Camry with the carseat in. My little guy is tall for his age [30" at 9 months], but he has plenty of room to grow in this and can sleep in it comfortably. The straps don't get tangled either. Installation took a bit of time, but it wasn't impossible. Warning, the darker colors do heat up in the car a bit in summer. | 45 stars

Baby Dry keeps my daughter dry!
My daughter started in Pampers at the hospital. Due to an overwhelming supply of Huggies at home, she started wearing Huggies. They leaked EVERY time! I promptly returned them all and bought Pampers Baby Dry - haven't had a problem since! | 45 stars

I got this when my daughter was 5 months while we were on vacation and it was awesome! It is simple and each so put together, so it was just what I wanted while we were away from home from a little while. | 34 stars

My favorite
Besides being better for the environment (I did weigh the pros and cons of cloth vs disposable and chose to go with disposable) than all major disposable brands, these work better! I started with Pampers as those were given to us via showers with the odd Huggies or Luvs thrown in. I hated all except the Pampers Swaddlers but even they, along with the others have that unnatural "baby fresh" scent. Ugh, why?!?!? Also, when those diapers were full, the substance used to soak up would bloat. I did not like that chemical goo so close to my baby's skin. Anyway, when all the gift daipers were gone, I switched to 7th generation. I love that they are chlorine and scent free. Anyplace I can cut out toxins in my ds' life, I will. These diapers haven't leaked any more, even less so I'd say, than the major brands, and they don't bloat with that weird gel gunk when they are full. They fit well and on top of that, they don't have goofy little characters on them!! Inconsequential, but that does appeal to me! They cost more, but the fact they are less damaging to your little one and the environment than other disposables, it's well worth it. | 45 stars

Like these better than medela!
These are abit thicker than the medela ones they gave me in the hospital but me and my baby seemed to like them better. Great for latching problems!! | 45 stars

Diaper Review

BEST DIAPER EVER!
I love the Huggie's Supreme fit. I have stuck with Huggies supreme since my son was born and even when they gave me free samples of other diapers to try out, I still used Huggies. I don't trust anything else other than this brand. I think they are perfect for my son! | 45 stars

This ruined my bed
After trying to put this together I thought I had it and laid out plastic on the bed I put the tub down and put water in it. My daughter is premature so we keep her in the bedroom. All the water leaked out onto my bed, and ruined it. I had to get a whole new bed. Do not by this it is a bad purchase. | 01 star

Teething Gift from God
You won't regret these. They're the best idea ever, our daughter got so much use out of it we had to buy more. Of course you have to be careful about allergies and sharp foods, but anything from ice cubes, frozen pureed food popped out of an ice cube tray, fruit, and watermelon work great in these little mesh pockets of love. We even put a messy peach pit in there. It's great for weaning now that I think of it... | 45 stars

LIFESAVER!!
We registered for this based on all of the reviews that I read on this site, and we have been so pleased. We put our daughter in it the day we brought her home from the hospital, and she has loved napping in it during the day ever since. The first time she ever slept through the night was in the papasan, too! She loves the vibration and the soothing music. In fact, she's almost 6 months old, and she's taking a nap in it right now! It's so great to be able to carry her around it while she is napping, and when she has a cold, the papasan is the only place that she can comfortably sleep at night. In addition, now that she's eating some solid foods, I actually cover the seat in burp cloths and feed her in the papasan - she's comfortable there so she can focus on eating, and she's not sitting upright well enough yet for the highchair. Furthermore, our little one has a little acid reflux, so we can't just lay her down after a bottle - this keeps a little more upright and allows her to sleep at the same time.I would definitely recommend the papasan over a regular bouncy seat because you can use it right away. Really, within a month or so after your baby is ready for a regular bouncy seat, you can put them right into an exersaucer to play. If you think the incline is a little steep for a newborn (we never did, but our friends did), put a thin coffee table book under the front to lean it back a bit. The papasan was a must have item for us!!! | 45 stars

Hmmmmmm
I really like the convenience of the bottle warmer . . . the fact that it takes any kind of bottle . . . size, shape, etc. The only problem that we are having is it is not consistent in heating the bottle. Sometimes the bottle is VERY hot and sometimes it is VERY cold. We use the same amount of water, but it varies. So . . . we will continue trying and may have to replace it. Otherwise, it is very easy and convenient! | 23 stars

Not Very Appealing, but Serves its Purpose
I bought this paypen when my set of twins started becoming mobile. I wanted it for our living room to keep them away from the coffee tables and fireplace. I initially bought just the playyard and set it up; once I got their toys in it, there was really no room for them to roll around. I then purchased the two panel extension and created a square for them. This provided plenty of room for them to crawl around and play with their toys.So far I have had no issues; except that there is no actual gate. So every time I put them in and get them out of it, I have to step over it. A minor inconvenience for the piece of mind it serves knowing they are not rolling in to my fireplace. Without the rubber padding that comes with it, it will slip on hardwood floors. It is not very appealing, but my living room is already filled with baby toys and bouncers and appeal was not a big issue at this moment. However, once they start using it to pull themselves up, I think it may not be as sturdy as I would like.Currently, for the price, I think it is what it is and functions as it should. | 23 stars

Poor Quality
This potty may be good in use, I wouldn't know. I've never actually gotten to the point of being able to actually use it with my child. The first arrived with a crack in the bowl, so I got a replacement. The second sat in my son's closet for months unused and now has a mysterious same crack in the bottom of the bowl. No one was taking a hammer to the product or stacking elephants on it, so I can only deduce that the product is poorly constructed if it cracks multiple times in the same area. I would not buy this item again and would not recommend it either. I would recommend finding a better quality product that won't fall apart with (non)use. | 01 star

Effectively keeps my daughter from the gas stove knobs
My daughter is 20 months and is just old enough to start reaching the stove knobs. They look really fun and interesting to her. So, we bought these. Took me about 2 seconds to install them (you just take off your knobs, pop these on and replace the knob) and now she can't do any damage. But we can still very easily open them up to use the burners. Simple and easy solution. They don't look too bad either since they are clear.The only thing is that if you pull on the whole thing hard enough, the whole knob and cover come off together. That might be my stove... I'm not sure. Overall great product though! | 45 stars

Was defective/broken upon receipt BUT great customer service
My timer was defective in that LED screen for the top function (the diaper change button) was not complete...meaning you could not discern the digits (was it an 8 or 0?). Otherwise, the other functions worked and I was able to see how much time elapsed. Overall, though I stopped using the timer fairly quickly for a few reasons.1. I had a newborn and when she was yelling/screaming crying for her bottle or permanently attached to my breast...I just forgot to press that button to start the timer over.2. For some reason, I envisioned a product that would not only keep time between feedings, diaper changes, etc. but would also keep track of the sleep time during the day, etc. or the number of diaper changes & feedings per day. BUT it only tells how much time has elapsed from the your last feeding, changing etc. Maybe I am asking too much, but I don't see what differentiates this product from a multi-use timer. It's essentially several times on one device. Overall, it is a good but for all the raving reviews I just expected more.I came back and edited this review because I wanted to add that they company has fabulous customer service. I emailed the company to inquire about getting a replacement for the timer. The president of the company emailed me back promptly on a Sunday asking for my address. He did not ask me to send back the defective timer and must have shipped the replacement priority or overnight because I received the replacment in no time. | 12 stars

Not a good quality product, not even usable quality.
I bought it and returned it the same day. Very flimsy. The joints bend backwards when the kid is sitting on it. My 2 year old is underweight (in 10 percentile). I was scared it will break and will frighten her. The seat was also slipping all over the place even though it has rubber padding on the bottom, but they are too small to be of any use. | 01 star

Defective product, do not buy
I brought this product and it broke after using it only a few times. When it broke in half, there wasn't even a drink in the cup holder. Another mommy who was with me informed me that her cup holder broke in the exact same spot after only using it a couple of times. I contacted the company only to inform that this is a discountinued item. If the company does not even stand behind their product, there is no reason for a consumer to buy it. If I could give it 0 out of 5 stars, I would. | 01 star

Do not buy!
I wanted a hand held pump to use while exclusively BF my daughter. I am with her most of the time, so I only need to pump every once in a while. I was going to buy a Lansinoh but instead I bought this spite the negative rumors that I had heard about it. I used this pump 3 times over a 5 month period, and today was the 6th. When I began pumping, I noticed that it was pumping a little funny. It was only putting small drops into the bottle when it should have been more of a small flow. I looked at the pump after noticing what was actually in the bottle and when I turned it over, about 2 oz of breastmilk poured out on my lap. I checked to see if all of the parts were on right and they are. the bottle was also on all the way. Now, my baby is 2 oz short of her lunch, and I am [...] short on money and a breast pump. I should have just bought the Lansinoh. | 01 star

I love Playtex nursers
I love playtex nursers I used them 11 years ago and they still are the same. I will say I prefer the bags versus the drop in's. It saves time sterizing things and are very easy to transport. They come in so many cute designs too. It is easy to get the air out of the bottle also which is good for baby and a happy baby makes a happy mommy. If you are the type that has to know exactly how many ounces is in the bottle this is the only thing that is difficult figuring out it's more approximate. | 34 stars

Fire Hazard!
I had this product for less than an hour when the music started skipping and the swing was making a grinding/clicking sound. Whilst on the phone with customer service the swing started billowing white smoke. Had to drop the phone, unplug everything and get a fire extinguisher just in case... Fisher-price put me through to another service rep and graciously offered me a replacement or a refund and a $25.00 coupon and told me that they have never heard of such a thing and would 'get to the bottom' of this anomaly. LIES! This apparently has been going on since at least 2005. It's just a matter of time before an infant is killed! | 01 star

Works for a year...
We purchased this product in December 2009. We have been happy with its reception and the screen nice. However, after about a year we had to order a replacement charger because the charger connector broke. Then after about 15 months, the speaker began to die. We now have to spend 2-3 minutes adjusting the volume button to get anything but silence. We do run a white noise machine in our baby's room when he is sleeping, so the speaker gets lots of use, but I expected such an expensive to last as long as I would want to monitor my child. When I called customer service today (and sat on hold for 30 minutes) I was told it is out of its one year warranty so the best they could do was to let me purchase a refurbished version of the same monitor from their website. Moral of the story, if you expect to need a monitor more than a year, this is probably not the one for you. | 12 stars

Britax Boulevard is first rate
This is our second Britax car seat with the side impact protection and our 11 month old absolutely loves it. The wings not only provide protection but a great place to put a snoozing head. It is easy to install with latch system. It is a little awkward to get our daughter into the seat in its rear facing mode....but the safety and all other positive attributes easily outweigh this. Once we turn it around forward facing this will be much easier.Thanks to Britax for making this fine product. | 45 stars

Baby's favorite toy! Learns so much and has a great time!
We were given another gym as a shower gift, and our son liked batting at the toys but wasn't enthralled. I saw this gym, decided to buy it (and sell our other one). It is amazing the difference!I take off some of the toys, and our son plays on his belly or rolls around to pick up the toys I took off. He talks to himself in the mirror, loves watching the flowers when the music is on, and enjoys all of the little toys on and off of the gym. I love that it folds away easily.I would not buy any other gym. I didn't even think I wanted a gym - silly me! I would say this is the most indispensible toy we have. Our son is now 4 months old and will play by himself on the mat for up to 45 minutes. When I get down on the floor next to him, he loves to "talk" and fill me in on what he's been doing! | 45 stars

Great bottles for babies swallowing too much air!
I bought these bottles because I had a tiny baby, and the Avent bottles made her suck in too much air. These worked great! I gave these four stars because my only wish is that they had a cap top like the Avents, but I'm just being picky...Even though there are some extra parts, I didn't mind cleaning them because my baby felt so much better drinking from these. I didn't have any problem with the vent part ripping and these bottles never leaked. I also love that they are angled so they are easier to hold. Once my baby got bigger I switched back to the Avent bottles and I will use these again for my next newborn, he/she is sure to be small too! | 34 stars

Diaper bag fits well
This bag seems to be made well and feels like it can tolerate a lot of wear and tear. It is slightly narrow for my liking but deep enough and once you start putting items in the bag, it seems to expand more than you anticipated. Fits the shoulders nicely and is very comfortable. Just wish the cell phone holder was bigger but it can be removed and I doubt it will be missed much. Overall, good product!!! | 34 stars

registry must-have!!
No matter what time of the year the baby is born, nobody wants a cold washcloth on warm skin! The secret is to fill it a little more than halfway. I leave a wet washcloth in the top to retain moisture and serve as a face & finger wipe during the day! I recommend Huggies Newborn wipes. They are thicker and stay moist longer. This is my second one however, the first one (older model) cracked and began leaking. I do wish Prince Lionheart would modify the lid. It falls down on the back of my hand and the pop up part doesn't stay closed. I've had to tape it down. (I don't use pop up wipes anyway) | 34 stars

add this to your necessity list
I don't know how anyone could NOT like this product. Hands down, it's wonderful. Gives your baby a comfortable way to sleep, not flat on their back, and gives you piece of mind. Not to mention, totally portable - we use it at home, and in her folding travel bed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!! | 45 stars

It's okay
I like this tub, but it's huge and it's hard to keep a newborn in place when washing. I might use this more when my son gets a little older. | 23 stars

SAVE THE PLANET- Use cloth diapers!
I really wanted to cloth-diaper our baby for environmental and economic reasons. I was really hesitant as a new mom. Iwasn't sure I could handle that on top of a new baby- but people have been washing diapers for 100s of years- and without a super high speed- sterilizer-fancy washing machine. We had a diaper service the first month and then I realized that I could do this myself. Cloth diapering is so easy! You save so much money. There are several great types of diapers on the market. This brand and a kind called "BUMPKINS" are great to get started. The diaper is all-in-one (meaning you don't need a separate diaper that you put a cover over, covers are what in a past were rubber pants). These are great for dads and babysitters and changing a baby on the run. They velcro on/off. I preferred the "BUMPKINS" but these were my 2nd favorite of the all in ones, the Kushies are more affordable. They didn't hold up as well as the BUMPKINS- but I always put mine in the dryer- might last longer if you line-dry, but they've been washed every 2 days for the last 3 months! I highly recommend anyone trying to cloth diaper to give these a try. It's really easy and my baby has only had one diaper rash in 10 months and at 11 months has already started pooping on the potty- they say using cloth diapers really speeds up potty training and I am finding that to to true! Save the planet! ONE NAPPY AT A TIME! | 34 stars

If only it worked correclty
My neighbors have the First Years 900 MHz monitors that have impressive range. Not wanting cross talk, I ordered the First Years 2.4 GHz Ultra range monitor despite reading the reviews. I speculated that the erroneous monitor locator issues were from people living in urban areas. Since these were "ultra range" monitors it made sense that this issue was probably due to a neighbor having the same device.I WAS WRONG!I am fortunate enough to live on acreage and the monitor locator erroneously went off 3 times in the first hour! It didn't matter if there were new batteries in the receiver or it was plugged into the AC adapter. This monitor set picks up interference from my 2.4 GHz cordless phone and has a repetitive clicking sound unless the phone is unplugged. With the phone unplugged the monitor locator function erroneously went off.When they work, they have a crystal clear sound and very good range. It is unfortunate the manufacture still has some bugs to work out.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!I recommend this product be pulled from the web site until the manufacture figures their problem out.BTW: The Fisher Price Ultra Range 900 MHz monitor reception is decent at a good 250' from the house through dense trees. There is some static but nothing as annoying as the repetitive clicking mentioned above.Thanks BabiesRus/Amazon for your great customer service and convenient return policy!Hope this helps,Kevin from Princeton MN | 01 star

thought this would be a great hand cream
It has similar ingredients to Awakening Hands and is less expensive. However, it is not a moisturizer, it is very drying. It turned my hands white. I suppose it would make sense that this is a diaper cream when applied to a thoroughly cleansed diaper rash. It works good as a foot ointment. | 12 stars

Poor Quality
This product simply does not work. Mine worked for less than two months. The battery on the parent unit won't hold a charge. The base also goes through batteries in a matter of hours. Plus, mine does not stay powered up even when it is plugged in. I contacted Graco and they agreed to replace it, but then never followed up to send me the instructions to return it. I e-mailed them again and they wrote back saying that someone would contact me within 72 hours. Then -- they didn't. Please don't waste your money. | 01 star

i love it! my son son loves it! it's great!
i've been using the activity gym since my son was just a few weeks old, he loved it then and still loves it. he enjoys looking at the lights on the star and though the music is not that selective and it is kind of hard for him to get it to go on, he still enjoys wondering how and where it's coming from. he enjoys hitting the hanging toys and watching them fly back and forth. i think this gym has his attention more then any of his toys! | 45 stars

lousy warantee and customer service
This gate has been in use in our house for around 2 years. The wood and general construction have held up, but the plastic latch has been broken for some time. I finally had a moment to call their customer support, and the first representative was rude, and very abrupt. She told me that there was only a 90 day warantee on the product, and that this is normal for this kind of product.I have had other manufacturers replace items such as this much further beyond 90 days. This does not seem a reasonable amount of time. The plastic is cheaply constructed, and bound to fail.The manager (also rude) told me that I could not order individual parts, because as she put it "we don't sell incomplete products". I had to buy a totaly new gate. I"ve never heard of a manufacturer not wiling to sell parts to avoid the waste involved in replacing an entire product.If you buy this gate, be aware that if anything goes wrong after 90 days, that you will be in for the price of another gate, since parts aren't available.As a postscript, they did end up sending a new gate at 50% off retail with no shipping charges which, while appreciated, is literally the least such a company could do when dealing with a product that is related to the safety and well being of children and pets.Also, the customer service person mentioned (and it is also in the manual) that this product is only recommended for children from 6 months to 24 months. I can't imagine our 26 month old being able to open this (it's difficult for adults) but maybe it's just their way of saying no-way-no-how this will last more than 2 years. | 01 star

Don't know what all the fuss ia about!?!?!
I read everyone else reviews on this tub and I can assure it is NOT as hard to assemble as everyone is complaining about!! Yes it needs to be assembled because it is too long to fit in the box. I keep mine in the extended position and to get it that way took all of 5 seconds. I don't know why everyone is having trouble, using two people, taking 15 minutes, breaking nails, re-reading directions etc. To me it wasn't that hard. It is a GREAT tub to use from the day my daughters cord fell off. She used the sling when she wasn't able to sit up but now she can sit up on her own. The suctions on the bottom work great, maybe a little too great, cause it's hard for me to get it out of the big tub when I'm done! The width of the tub is perfect for my daughter to hold onto the sides while sitting. It is definitely big enough for her to be in for another few months and she's 7 months now! | 45 stars

Fits the Graco Booster Seat
I was worried when I ordered this that it would not fit my Graco Ultra Car Go Booster seat. All the reviews were about car seats and nothing was mentioned about the taller booster seats. I received it yesterday (11/30) and the booster seat fit perfectly with plenty of room to spare. I can see already how helpful this will be for me to travel with my two year old this Christmas. I even have room to carry a diaper bag and a backpack to use as carry ons. | 45 stars

Perfect!

Great concept, not practical
I got this before my daughter was born. I used the diaper hanger a lot, but honestly hardly ever used the warmer. I guess if you had one for each room it would be a good idea, but we live in a 2 story house and this was in her room. I found, we changed her wherever she was when it was needed, so the warmer wasn't always handy. I loved the idea of warm wipes on her little bottom, but it just didn't turn out to be practical and she didn't fuss about the cold ones. | 23 stars

smartest purchase
ready to get a couple more of them. I brought back another model from the store as a temporary fix, and my spouse gave me a dirty look and told me to get the real thing. easy to use, easy to install, difficult for the 1 year old to defeat. The cats can jump over it as needed. Perfect solution for what we needed. | 45 stars

No adhesive putty
Well I was excited to receive these stars to decorate my sons room, once I finally receive the package thanks to USPS for some unknown reason being unable to deliver them to me (thats a whole other story of itself) I open the box to find low and behold no putty to put up the stars. Great. The stars are nice, some large some very very small but it is annoying that I can't put them up just yet until I go buy some putty. | 23 stars

Fabulous! A MUST HAVE for nursing moms!
I love this pillow! If you plan to nurse, this is essential. Used the boppy with my first child, and it was terrible, although I didn't realize this at that time. I had to prop the boppy up with foam I cut up from a pillow, baby kept slipping into the "pocket" between the pillow and me, and I had corporal tunnel from basically holding him in place all the time. The BreastFriend, however, is just a dream! I have only been using it a week (brought it to the hospital), and it could not have been designed better. Snaps on/off easily, adjusts to one's body size, baby rests easily on it and doesn't slip down, and I have even walked around with baby on it and nursing. Definitely worth its cost!!! | 45 stars

Great system
My friend got this as a shower gift. Her baby had a severe heart problem and had to visit the doctors frequently. She loved it because it was so light and worked so well. She recommended it to me. I love it. I had a c-section, so it was hard to lift one of those big systems. This stroller is so light and easy to operate and takes up much less room in the trunk. | 45 stars
