Aren't these supposed to catch the poo?
Conventional wisdom is that the diaper's primary function is to absorb urine and catch the poo. Although, if you were a Luvs devotee, you'd think that the poo is supposed to leak through every time, while the fastening tape is there to cut into your child's legs. Yes, these are unconventional diapers that don't do what a diaper's supposed to do. Of all brands we've tried, to include generics, these are the crappiest.For a good brand, with a lot of comfort try one of the following:1) Pampers, 'cause they got all the coolest cross-branded characters2) Huggies, 'cause they got the gigglastic that is both elasticky and makes all the kids giggle.3) Kirkland Signature, yes, the Costco brand. They look way more comfortable than your average diaper and are a good deal cheaper. I've yet to see one of these leak.Then again, if you're ok with leaking poo, go with the Luvs, they're guaranteed to satisfy. | 01 star

Versatile Bottle Caps- Works with other brands
I ordered these caps to use when pumping into my Dr. Brown's bottles. They are also very helpful to avoid leakage when transporting bottles whether it is home from work or when I bring a bottle with me for my daughter. They also work on Ameda and Medela storage bottles. I pump into my Ameda bottles at home and use them for those as well. | 45 stars

Did not work
Maybe mine was defective, but I used 8 batteries and it died halfway through one sitting. I bought a vehicle adapter and a manual pump and I've used those instead. Pumping in the car is not my preferred option, but it will do. | 01 star

There has to be a better baby tub than this one!
I started my 5 month old son in this tub right at birth. We use the sling, which is aweful because his poor head would bang into the back edge of the plastic tub. In order to keep him from banging his head and sliding down the sling into the water and to keep his ears from being immersed, I added a yellow bear bath sponge OVER the top of the sling, which now protects his head and helps with the sliding. Now that he's 5 months and not sitting yet, his bottom falls off the end of the sling and bear. I spend most of my time bathing him with one hand, and constantly pulling him back up the sling with the other. Not easy with a slippery wet wiggly baby. He's also too long for it now, and has to keep his knees bent. I tried to change to stage 3 and use the sitting bar, but that was useless and he cried and kept sliding forward, backward and I could see that his "parts" were being smushed by the bar-OUCH! It's time for someone to invent a GOOD infant bath that doesn't leak, is long enough for the baby, supports the child's back and bottom in different positions. This was a waste of money and I only recomend this if you have no other choice. | 01 star

A good idea
This is a great idea for kids stuck in car seats who doze off. For my 3 year old though (who is 40 inches tall) the fit was not good - too big with just one of the pieces of foam removed, and too short with two pieces removed. It was uncomfortable for him and he ended up not using it, preferring to rest his head on his big teddy bear. I tried it out and found it awkward, though better than nothing, and moderately better than u-shaped neck pillows which don't prevent your head from falling forward.However, I don't like the fact that it is made of polyurethane foam, which I was unaware of before I purchased it. I have read alot of health and environmental concerns about polyurethane and am not sure if I will try it again for my son for this reason. | 23 stars

Too smelly for me
Well these diapers are ok as far as soaking capacity goes and I didn't have any problem with leaks. Size is pretty accurate as well.My problem with these diapers is the green color on the inside (that touches baby's skin), with strong chemically smell. We got Pampers at hospital as well, and they had similar smell. But green on these makes them even more unappealing. After having used other brands and cloth diapers for a long time, I just couldn't get past the smell and decided to cancel my subscription. | 12 stars

Great purchase!
This is a great playmat for my 2 month old, although she's not quite old enough to appreciate all of the features yet. The lights and music are the perfect distraction for tummy time. | 34 stars

This is one sweet chair.
It was easy to assemble and the quality is very nice. We got it for a granddaughter xmas present and all the granddaughters wanted one. | 34 stars

great everyday bottle bag
I bought this bottle bag when I had my second child. It was so easy to put two thin ice packs in the mesh pockets and drop in 1-2 bottles or sippy cups. The bottle bag can be strapped on your shoulder or converted to wear in other positions. I use it when I am running out with both of my kids and I think I may need a drink for each of them. It is easy to carry. It does only fit 2-3 tall bottles or 2 sippy cups. However, I sometimes place smaller items on top of the sippy cups as well. It is well made and super easy to clean. SkipHop made a good item. Our first bottle bag was left in the car by accident with a full cup of milk and needed to be replaced. That is when I went on the hunt to find this bag again. Amazon had them in stock and ready to ship : ) | 45 stars

works great
This booster seat works perfectly on our chairs and fits under the table nicely. We also like that it is simple and just plain white so it is attractive as far as booster seats go. | 45 stars

Great, but doesn't fit.
This is a great memory foam changing pad, but unfortunately it does not fit my IKEA brand changing table and is about 2 inches too long and an inch too fat. I plan on cutting mine to fit though. Very comfortable and well made. | 34 stars

Awesome!
Our baby slept in our room in this moses basket until he outgrew it at 2.5 months old. I set the basket on my bedside table, so I could just reach over and pick up our son when he needed to be fed without ever having to get out of bed. The basket with the gingham bumber looks really nice, and now I use it in the nursery as a cute place to keep stuffed animals. Because of the low price compared to most other moses baskets, I honestly thought the build of this basket would be quite cheap, but it surpassed all of my expectations. It is sturdy and durable, and even the quality of the little mattress is just fine for a newborn. Although, I never did use the hood on this moses basket because it didn't seem to fit quite right the first time I used it. Five stars for this moses basket by Badger Basket- it made life much easier with a price we could afford! | 45 stars

Just okay...
As a breastfeeding Mom (for the third time!) I needed a pump to use occassionally for outings and to build up my supply for later use. I bought the Avent Hand Pump because of all the good reviews and because I rarely, if ever will be bottle feeding my baby.First and foremost, the silicone petal pad doesn't work for me. I have to take it off. The "horn" part of the pump is NOT size universal. So if you're not sure if it'll fit, chances are it won't. Not all nipples are created equal!!! I did find out that putting some lanolin on the pump itself before pumping makes it easier. Secondly, it's nearly impossible to nurse and to pump at the same time. Third, it's noisy... this means that for you girls out there that are sensitive about let down (meaning you have to forget you are pumping to pump efficiently) it won't work as well as you want it to.I have no doubt I have a good milk supply. It takes me an hour to pump 4 ounces. A bit dissapointing. Not to mention when you're a new Mommy, time is precious!!The top cover comes off occassionally and the avent bottles leak-In the end, my baby wouldn't take the avent bottles. Wouldn't even latch on. SO don't use this pump for the sole reason that you believe Avent is the way to go- ultimately the baby is boss. This is my second breastfed baby that wouldn't take these bottles- although my daughter did latch on for five seconds long enough to gag on the milk because she couldn't control the flow.I'm not impressed.No, I wouldn't purchase again.No, I don't reccommend.No!!!I feel cheated and wish I would of researched pumps a bit longer before spending what I did on this one. Let's face it, it's overpriced. | 01 star

Highly Recommend It!
This amazing product has all the great features I could expect from a toy chest that is made for baby!It is huge, much bigger than the picture shows, very roomy! It is beautiful, the colors are so cheerful and harmonic! It is safe for my baby to play with because of its softness and sturdiness!We definitely love this amazing product! I think that we are going to enjoy this toy organizer for a very long time! | 45 stars

A great visual learning tool for babies!
My six week old loves this gym! At first it was just a visual but now she moves her arms wildly, hitting the toys and getting a fun result. | 45 stars

A must-have!
As a first time parent, I was constantly reading reviews of baby items before I made purchases. This tub was rated very highly and so I thought I'd give it a go. No disappointment here--its rated highly for good reason.The tub worked beautifully for my premature baby because of the hammock that straps over the top, making it easy to give my baby a sponge bath while he was cradled in the hammock. Now that he's bigger and doesn't need the hammock anymore, the tub is still working well for both of us. The plug that changes color when the temperature of the water is too hot is hard to see, but it does work and its nice to have.Of all my baby item purchases, this is one of my absolute favorites. I highly recommend this product--most especially for bathing your preemie or newborn! | 45 stars

Attractive and Functional
When at the hospital NICU, I used a stool to assist with feeding my baby. I was surprised how functional it was. I knew that I had to have one for my home. I looked at several and settled on this one because it appeared to be functional as well as attractive. This product has met my expectations! I particularly like that I will be able to use it later, as a step stool, as my son grows. They had several colors, and the one I chose looked really nice with the rest of my nursery furniture. | 45 stars

Just What We Were Looking For
We needed a gate to keep our 20 month old out of the bathroom after he learned how to open the door. This gate fits our needs perfectly. It swings open both ways allowing the rest of the family to get in and out easily. It doesn't require hardware to install and it stays secure. My husband installed it in about 5 minutes. This gate fit our doorway without the extensions. Our daughters ages 9, 7 and 4 can work the latch themselves (after a short lesson and a few minutes of practice), but there's no way for our toddler to get it open. Being extra tall greatly lessens the chance of him climbing over it. We will be getting another one for the bottom of our stairs. | 45 stars

Great Product- Shipped in Poor Shape
I've ordered this product for many friends and all have loved it. Normally, I order it off the company's website, but this time I ordered it off my friend's amazon registry. The product showed up with the packaging covered in grease, so much so that it soaked into the cardboard inside displaying what the product was. Luckily the wrap itself was fine, but now I have to give it to my friend without the packaging because it was so greasy. | 34 stars

Quick, efficient and convenient
This steam sterilizer is one of the greatest gifts I received! You don't have to wait for boiling water or watch the clock, all you do is put in the right amount of water, set your microwave and it's done. This sterilizer enables you to do more than one thing at a time because it can sit closed for up to three hours and still stay sterilized! You can put it in the microwave, hop in the shower do whatever else you need to do and when you're ready, uncover it and use it! This let's you use the sterilized bottles or pump when YOU are ready because you can sterilize up to 3 hours in advance. Very, very highly recommended!!! | 45 stars

cute & functional
I bought 3 pink bins & 3 green bins for my baby's room. We put an old bookcase in the bottom of ther closet & I used the bins to turn the shelves into "drawers". They are nice fabric & look really cute. Mine are stuffed with sheets, bibs, socks, etc. It looks cute & is a good way to organize everything. Maybe not strong enough to hold really heavy things like books, though. | 45 stars

Great product
Gave as a gift to my son and his wife and they rave about it. They like it's compact size, light weight, carry strap and especially the swing out arm so their toddler can climb into it herself. | 45 stars

Great for co-sleeping
I like this product a lot. Giving it 4 stars because the metal bar in the middle of the screen does not fit my mattress perfectly. I had to pack it with towels just to avoid any gaps between it and my mattress. Otherwise it's great! | 34 stars

Work well on marble
I bought these corner guards for the marble edge of our shower enclosure. The color works great for our bathroom. It works so well. It has stuck since we put it on, about 5 months ago. It has even gotten wet. It uses double sided command strips to adhere to the surface. My 15 month old has tried to take it off a few times, with no luck. He doesn't bother it that much though, because it doesn't really stand out. I'm sure if he was persistent, it would come off. We purchased a similar product (different brand) for our coffee table, and it was off within a week. | 45 stars

Wonderful oil for mother and baby. It is apricot oil infused with lavender flowers. The smell is to die for. Its excellent for baby massage and for the birthing process. | 45 stars

Great product, lifesaver for potty training when out
This product has been a life saver, we are potty training my daughter who is 22 months old. We use it under a travel potty seat so that the seat doesn't get dirty and so she can't touch the surface of the toilet. It works great, it is water proof and very durable. | 45 stars

Cruising along
Amazon provided the cheapest solution for buying (Pampers Cruisers size 4) in bulk. What can I say, Pampers work. We've tried other brands (Walmart, KMart, Huggies, Luvs, etc)but we keep coming back to pampers for fit and leak protection. | 45 stars

God-sent for working moms!
I initially ordered 6 of these because I decided I want to make all my daughter's food from scratch. I just used them for the first time, and they are absolutely wonderful! I recommend hand washing them, because some of the stickier foods (i.e. prunes, bananas) are harder to get out in the dishwasher. I love them so much, I just ordered 6 more! | 45 stars

Lights, Music and Motion that Mesmerizes My Babies
Before the birth of my twins, this swing was recommended to me by a friend who is a neonatal intensive care unit nurse and a home care "baby nurse." In all honesty, I was really hesitant to buy it because it is so ugly and so BLUE. The first time I put one of my daughters into the swing it was way too stimulating. A month or two later she became mesmerized by it. It was very exciting when she started to understand cause and effect enough to know that when she pulled the links it made the music play and the lightshow begin. Now she can't get enough of it. She finds both the swing and the lightshow to be very soothing. Both my daughters have severe reflux and have to sit up for 30 minutes after they eat. This chair has become one of my favorites (we have gone through a total of six). My two biggest complaints are: 1) it should come in other colors besides blue and 2) the volume on the music should be capable of turning off completely.Dr. Jenn BermanAuthor ofThe A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids | 34 stars

Very Pleased!
We've tried many brands of diapers between amongst our daughters and Pampers Baby Dry are by far the best! No leaks (unless the diaper is getting too small) and great protection for my daughter! | 45 stars

Not for all high chairs
This is the only reasonable priced high chair cover that I found. It doesn't fit high chairs with a seperator for the child's legs. I had to fold that part so that it would fit. It is made of good material and fits the chair well despite the fact I had to improvise. I have a Graco high chair. | 34 stars

I think this is great
Once it is set up properly, and I have to admit , it took a while to figure it out right, it works great. I have no problem keeping this in my bedroom because there is no bad smell and it is extremely convenient. In fact the liner smells like it is scented so when you open the top to put a diaper in, it actually smells pleasant. The only difficulty is when it fills up and you have to empty it before the refill empties. We just end up cutting off the used diapers and tying a new knot. My husband loves it too. | 45 stars

Sushine Kids Mirror is great!
We bought another mirror and it wouldn't stay in place and also didn't give the best angle to see the baby in the back seat of my Ford Flex. This mirror mounts easily, stays in place and offers a great view of the little one! | 34 stars

Difficult to adjust
Our son is 14 months. We received this as a gift a few months ago. The shoulder straps are extremely tight and difficult to adjust. My son was a premie and on the small side. We're well-below the 37-pound limit that the product specifies. We can only latch on of the lap buckles.I e-mailed the company and asked how to adjust the straps and was told that due to safety standards the product may be non-user friendly to some users. | 01 star

The best diaper bag I've used so far...
I bought this bag a little over a month ago. I have an 11 month old son, and I find that he requires more and more "stuff" the older he gets. My one pocket diaper bag tote just wasn't cutting it. I looked at a lot of bags, and this one seemed to be the best. I just got back from a trip to New York, and I am thrilled with how this bag worked out for me.The bottom compartment that holds the wipes is so great. It is easily accessible and it holds more wipes than one of the thin plastic containers that typically come with or are sold for diaper bags. The front pocket is a great place for sunscreen, medicine, and first aid supplies. The next pocket can fit up to 10 size 5 diapers, a changing pad, and diaper cream. The third compartment is the largest, and it is where I load his snacks, food, toys, drinks, and changes of clothes. There are two side pockets that will fit two 8 ounce bottles each. The top pocket is a great place to store plastic bags or my wallet, keys, and lip gloss.This bag holds A LOT of stuff. I flew for six hours with my son, and everything he needed for the entire day, including quite a few little toys, fit into the bag, no problem.The only thing that I did not use was the changing pad that came with it; I just switched it out for a larger one that I already have. I know this bag is called the "Dad Gear Pro" but it is great for Mom too (and Dad doesn't mind carrying it because it doesn't look like a purse). | 45 stars

Let's you have some "free time"
I received this as a baby shower gift and I use this more than anything else that I've received. Our little boy is now 9 weeks old and we have been using this for several weeks now. He stares in awe at the bubbles and fish and he loves to kick the hanging items. The vibration soothes him - I think b/c it reminds him of riding in the car. It was a gift that I would recommend to anyone so that you can have 15 minutes to yourself! | 45 stars

THE WORST MANUFACTURER TO DEAL WITH!
True enough, if you buy this from Walmart.com, it is cheaper. But regardless of where you buy it from, pray that your parts all come intact and you never have to deal with their customer service. One part arrived broken, I then called cust. service to replace it (in which it took 2 months to arrive). When it finally, it was the wrong part!! I even confirmed the part twice with them before getting off the phone and they noted it on the shipping papers that came w/ the part. I ordered this on 12/30/05 and it is now 03/27/06 and I still don't have all the parts to assemble my daughter's chest of drawers!!! | 01 star

Love that Snuzzler!
My baby LOVES his Snuzzler! It has kept him comfortable and well supported in his car seat since he came home from the hospital. In hot weather we used the side with the woven fabric, and now that it is cooler the fleece side is so cozy for him. When I removed the Snuzzler for washing I realized how much it supports my baby; his head flops around without it and he is not at all happy in his car seat. We also use it in the stroller, and it slips easily from one seat to another because there are no holes that you need to thread the harness straps through.I am familiar with the car seat safety concerns with accessories. These concerns apply to products that are bulky and that can affect the fit of the safety harness. The Snuzzler has nothing bulky behind the baby- just the fabric, no padding. All of the padding is on the sides of the head and body supports, so the harness straps do not have to be loosened to use it. There is no way I would use anything potentially dangerous with my baby, and I know that he is safe and very, very happy in his Snuzzler! | 45 stars

Wonderful Bottles!
When I was pregnant there were sooo many articles out about BPA and babies getting serious complications from all those chemicals in plastic bottles. The green bottles were very cute, but rather expensive. I decided to go a little old school with these glass bottles and boy am I glad that I did. My baby loves them. They are easy clean and the nipples and bottle tops are great quality. The only thing is that you have to make sure you burp your baby well after feeding because with glass bottles without any liner they are more likely to have gas. These are great and I will only use them for our babies who have yet to come! | 45 stars

okay
This was well-made and as advertised but a bit smaller than I had really expected. You should also note that you can't fold the stroller with this attached although the size is perfect for the Maclaren strollers. | 23 stars

Perfect rail, if you have a tall bed.
This bed rail is easy to set up, is tall enough to keep my toddler from rolling out of her new "big girl bed," and makes changing the sheets a breeze because of how easily it folds down flat. However, we are using it on a really high antique bed (our bed-skirt is 18 inches). Love it! | 45 stars

The most amazing baby carrier
This baby carrier is a life saver. My little one loved to be held and this made it possible pretty much all of the time. When Olivia was a newborn, the carrier was great facing inward. It allowed her to feel close to me and she was able to sleep while I grocery shopped or vacumed. When she got a little bit older, approx. 3 mos, it was great to use facing outward. Olivia loved to explore the world and I loved to be able to keep track of her once she became mobile. I tried the Snugli carrier and hated it. The Baby Bjorn is well worth the extra money. I would suggest it to everyone. | 45 stars

Much better than Baby Dry Pampers
These stretchy diapers are much better than the Baby Dry by Pampers. As new parents it took us a few times to the store to realize there was a difference in the box. Buy the purple box, not the green one! We love Pampers and have only had 2 leaks in 12 months of diapering. and those 2 were HUGE poops! so not much else could have contained them. Great diaper...big fan. | 45 stars

Loooooove this!
I got this for my son when he was 4 months and he's 7 months old and I'm buying two more! He loves chewing on it and it provides the perfect grip for his hands. I agree it was kind of big for his mouth when he was 4 months but he just chewed on the 'leafy' sides until he was comfy with the raspberry part | 45 stars

Not just for bath time
This product is wonderful as a bathing cushion, but we found it just as useful (when perfectly dry) as a basinet mattress for our son. He is now almost 5 months old and he wouldn't sleep by himself until we tried using the safer bather to give him a more comfy surface to sleep on. He had some reflux so the contoured and very slightly inclined slope of the safer bather may have felt better to him than just the bed bottom of the basinet. So now I have two of these, one for bathing and one for sleeping. | 45 stars

Pretty good stroller
I have the 2006 version of this in black, but it is basically the same. There are some good things and some bad things about this stroller. I did all my research before I bought it, and most of the reviews were pretty good, thats why I decided to buy it over the Maclaren Quest.Well...Lets start with the good1. My son loves it, he is very comfortable he is 16 months2. It is lite, and easy to load in the car3. It is small, and fits through aisles at the store4. The basket is large enough for the items I need to carry, like a diaper and wipes.As for the cons...1. The basket drags and gets caught in the wheel, only with 1 diaper and 1 small travel pack of wipes2. The wheels can turn any direction, although it seems that they then get stuck and don't go straight again. ( I called Zooper and they give me all these stuff to do like lubricate the wheels, and remove this and that... The stroller has only been used since April and mostly indoors!)5. There is no way to sit all the way up, you can lie all the way down, but my son has trouble eating when he is reclined so much and keeps using the bar to pull himself up.Thats basically all of it, For the price i paid $300.00 I wish I would have just splurged and got the Bugaboo I was looking at, but I will continue to use this stoller for my son until the next baby arrives, and then just get the Bugaboo with the ride on board or the double Maclaren. | 34 stars

Fine tribute to Lennon as Rebel
Good selection of songs from John Lennon's albums that reflect his personal and political journey. Most versions of his songs are very good. Not wild about the version of Cold Turkey -- way too laid back. Most love songs included are pretty good; a few are forgettable. All in all this is one of the best tribute albums I've ever purchased. | 23 stars

Worth the money
There are some things in life that will serve you just as well whether it's a high-end or more economical version. Breast pumps are not one of those things. I bought this system after I'd already been using a rental pump for several months, and kicked myself that I didn't do it sooner. Medela literally thought of everything, and it worked really well at home, at work, and in the car. If you're serious about nursing, it's worth every penny to do it "in style". | 45 stars

Stylish and Safe
I have bought two of these now and love this product. I have one at the top of my stairs and one at the bottom. I do wish there were more extention pieces but I made the ones that came with the gate work. | 45 stars

Not large enough for use in SUV
I purchased this for use in a large SUV. We have a Britax carseat and this carseat protector is not long enough to cover the seat from top to bottom. I also expected it to be thicker. We use the latch system and it pushes the carseat hard into the leather. I am not happy with it at all for our application. Although, I have been searching and have yet to find another product on the market that seems large enough or tougher/ thicker! | 12 stars

Works Like a Charm!
We use this just about every night. It has become part of the "routine" of bedtime. It works for naptime as well...I lay her down and turn on the sheep (I prefer the ocean sound, my husband really likes the whales) and it's as though she hears it and realizes it's time for sleep. 99% of the time she is asleep well before it runs through the 23 minute cycle. We do have the newer one with the 40-some minute option as well but haven't needed to run it that long. Since her bedroom is so close to ours, I have come to enjoy the sounds myself as I lay in bed at night! :) Maybe I need my own! I am all for any product that relieves some of the unpredictable sleep patterns and bedtime difficulties that come with every infant! | 45 stars

My first stroller
It has some nice features but, my wife says it is too big and heavy. Being a guy, I didn't wanna be seen with a skimpy little stroller. I think this is a perfect stroller. It is sturdy, easy to manuever, and folds nicely in half. A little cup holder on the handle is also a nice touch. | 34 stars

I LOVE this MONITOR!!!! Used it for almost 2 years so far!
I absolutely LOVE this monitor!I really have never experienced any of the problems that anyone has complained about. Instead, over the past 22 months, this monitor has brought me complete peace-of-mind. It is so portable and easy to use. And I find it to be extremely reliable.The only issue at first was that the parent unit drains AAA batteries very quickly when not using the AC Adapter, so we bought two sets of rechargeable batteries and a small charger. That way we always have a fresh set of batteries. Problem solved!I have recommended this monitor to everyone I know with children. | 45 stars

Mom loves it
I bought this as a gift for my mother, who is a large woman and had trouble with the seat belt cutting into her neck while driving. She had tried other products, but they required removing them every time she got out of the car. This product looks cheap, but it holds together and works. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the instructions are really poorly written. Once you figure out how it connects, though, it works like a charm. It does tend to pull the lap belt up a bit so that it rests more on the stomach than across the hips. A minor issue, and one that is not uncomfortable, so I'm told. | 34 stars

What is the point of a mechanical swing if it doesn't keep swinging?
I really liked this swing at first: it's compact, it has a nice pattern, plugs in to save on costly batteries, and we just loved the little elephants (we have the Capri style). But it doesn't swing! We turn it on, and the motor makes an obnoxious grinding sound. Then, we push it to get it going, and it just slows down and stops for no reason. What is the point of a mechanical swing if it doesn't keep swinging? We try all 6 settings, and it still stops. The thing also squeaks and sounds rickety, too. Also, the mobile isn't mechanical at all and relies on physics to turn when the swing is going. And, the sounds are just awful too: the nature sounds don't sound like anything that occurs in nature, more like noisy static; the classical music is blaring and annoying; and the heartbeat sounds like soundtrack drumbeats to the most cliche Civil War battle scene you can imagine. We're thoroughly disappointed. We got the Fisher-Price My Little Snugabunny today and it is beautiful. I highly recommend it. But do NOT buy these Graco swings. | 01 star

Perfect for children with hypotonia
I used this with my daughter, who has hypotonia, when she was an infant and toddler. It was perfect, as she was unable to sit up until well after she'd outgrown baby tubs.It's soft, and slightly squishy, so it offers some good support to the head and neck area.I found it to be very safe and non-slip, and excellent at holding warm water (as long as there were a few inches of water in the bath). | 45 stars

absorbency
Don't buy these if your looking for a pre-fold that will hold all of your childs waste in,and if you have a heavy wetter don't weven think about it without a doublerDiaper Doubler - Absorbency Booster - 2 Piece Set(these are nice) they are no wear near as absorbent as chinese prefolds, these make great claning clothgs and burp rags though. that's about all they are good for please spend the extra money on diaper service quality prefolds it will be worth it in the end. | 23 stars

Does its job
I have been using this bottle warmer now for about 3 months and I think it does a pretty good job. I stopped measuring the water in the vials and just filled the vial and poured it in. I keep an eye on it and test it every now and again to make sure it's not getting too hot. If I have to take it out before the water is done steaming, so be it. I've never had to add more to make it warmer. We are filling bottles to 5 oz right now. | 34 stars

What a deal!
I have tried many types of diapers on my five children and Pampers are by far my favorite! They provide the best leak proof coverage and are slim enough that people have thought my older kids were already potty trained. With 30% off through Amazon Mom, these diapers are even cheaper than Parent's Choice. And they are delivered straight to your door! You can't beat that! | 45 stars

The best shower gift!
I got this bouncer at my shower and it wasn't the one I had registered for. When I went to exchange it they were out of the one I wanted so I just kept it. That was the best thing I could have done. My son loves it! We have a crib and a bassinet for him and it was the only thing he would sleep in when we got home from the hospital! He loves the mirror and the rattles, and now that he's started to make noises he "talks" to the bee! This a MUST HAVE for any new mom! | 45 stars

Double Stroller Shade
I ordered the shade for my twin stroller. I had to sew on a velcro strap onto the Kiddopotamus tag at the top of the shade to add some weight to the shade, because it flies up constantly. I then can velcro the top of the shade to the tray of the stroller to provide shade while the babies are sleeping. Also helps hold the front of the shade onto the stroller, otherwise the shade doesn't provide shade if babies are in a flat position in the stroller, with the front of the shade flying up constantly. Sewing on the velcro strap has helped make the shade useable, otherwise I don't think it would be useable due to it flying up constantly, and the babies like to pull it down as well. | 12 stars

Adorable!
This set is simply adorable and well designed. Very cute! My nephew loves it. | 45 stars

Great for my man boobs!
I always hated how my nipples reared themselves in everything I wear. Thanks to these, I now feel like a "real man". Thanks nipple covers! | 45 stars

Great! Love it. Low price for Medela quality.
I rarely pump anymore, but I needed to for long road trips that my son slept through. This pump is incredible! It has the Medela gentleness and natural suction rythym. I highly recommend it. | 34 stars

Cut WAY too small, they barely stretch!
After my 1yo constantly getting red marks on her hips, we switched to Huggies! Not even Pampers cruisers have enough stretch to them to accomodate for chubby thighs :) I guess if you have a petite one, you'll love these, but for those who have chubby bubs like me, you won't be so happy with these! | 01 star

~Great price, multiple uses, great buy.~
I purchased these because a couple of my baby's items did not have head rest/supports in them ( Eddie Bauer bouncer, Fisher Price Linkadoos swing). I almost spent more money on the elaborate ones, but I am glad I did not. This pack only costs about $11.00 for 2 (1 small, 1 large).When my daughter was a newborn, she was very tiny. So for the longest time, I only used the small one. Once she hit 2 months, I started to use the large one. Now that she is 5 months, she really no longer needs them, but I don't regret buying this product at all. There are loops in these head rests, but I had no use for them. I believe that's for an infant carrier. The Eddie Bauer Latch 22 manchester print comes with one.Go ahead and peak at all my reviews. I tell it like it is, I don't favor a brand or product. I keep it factual.OVERALL: 5 stars | 45 stars

Shower is disappointing
I agree with the other reviewers that the kinks in the tubing and the oddly placed button make the shower difficult to use. The stream was very stop and go because of this. After about four months of use, the shower stopped working altogether. We replaced the batteries, thinking this was the problem, but it still didn't work. The sling is nice and I like the handle to hang the tub from, but I would guess there are better options out there. | 12 stars

Packaging
Product box came unprotected so box looked old and worn. Was a gift and had to be explained to shower guests. Needs to be packaged in a delivery box. | 34 stars

my choice of diaper
Pampers Cruiser has been my choice of diaper. I've used Huggies (Supreme and baby-shaped) and Pampers Baby-dry, and found out Pampers Cruiser is the best for my son. It's soft, flexible and tough, we rarely had leakage. Although my son's skin is very sensitive, he never has had problem with it. | 45 stars

Cute but wouldnt stick
This product was very cute to add to my sons room. However, it would not stick to the walls and kept falling off moments after applying it. Unfortunately we have to return it and go with a prepasted wall paper. | 23 stars

best diaper brand ever!
in my opinion , this diaper brand is the best ever, because the pampers diapers are ultra thin, keep the baby's skin dry up to 12 hours. the price is great and this economy pack it's enough for a month! thank you Pampers! | 45 stars

So Easy Baby Food Kit
I love this kit! No need to watch the DVD. The book is easy to read and the instructions are easy to follow. My son loves the fresh baby food and it taste and smells so much better than jarred foods. I only wish the kit came with 4 freezer trays instead of 2. My son is a big eater, so 24 cubes don't last too long! | 34 stars

great featuer for the top of my daughters bedroom window

The buggy bagg is better
I purchased the floppy seat for my daughter about 3wks ago and I fond it very hard to use with one hand. So I did some research online and found the buggy bag. I used it one time and loved it. It is very easy to use while holding my daughter. She likes it too. It is very soft and comes with a pillow and pockets to put stuff in. | 12 stars

Satisfied my organization urge!
Loved it a lot. Bigger than it looks in picture. So, there is lot of space for bottles, breast pump parts and if you have more kids, it can add some sippy cups too. My clutter on the counter is gone and I am no longer worried if drying bottles do not get back to the closet as they look very nice on this drying rack. I can use it directly from the rack. The tray is very useful to drain the water. I will keep using this when baby outgrows from bottle to sippy cups for water cups or simply plastic beverage glasses.The product is simply worth the money. I will highly recommend this if you like everything well organised despite your messy little one around! | 45 stars

SCREAMING baby
Like others have said, I applied this and my son was IMMEDIATELY hysterically screaming and clawing at himself until I thoroughly wiped it off. What a waste of money and a horrible product! | 01 star

great for the stroller
This bag works great for on the stroller but not as good for a everyday diaper bag. | 34 stars

works very poorly
This baby gate functions very poorly. The latch mechanism is stiff and quite difficult to both open and close. All in all it reeks of being a cheap gate. The plastic looks cheap and it operates on a sub par level. It will be in my next yard sale. | 01 star

Love it
I've seen this at various locations but never committed to buying it before. On a spur of the moment I decided to get it from amazon. It's great! The only things that I'm not entirely stoked about are:1) the yellow light is sucky2) it is battery operated--I wish it had the option of plugging into the wall so that I don't have to use and waste 3AAA batteries. | 34 stars

Great pacifiers.
I think these pacifiers are great; they work either way so at night you don't have to feel around for a notch to make sure they're going in the right direction. They don't leave marks around my baby's mouth like another pacifier did. I believe the company is European, maybe that's why they're not as widespread in the U.S., but they're made well. The attachment is so useful, especially when you're out and about with the baby. Just imagine the horror when the pacifier drops out of the baby's mouth onto the germ-filled floor and there's no bathroom in sight to wash the pacifier. | 45 stars

these are the best first diaper. our hospital used them and so did we. we stayed in them through size 2 | 45 stars

Great buy
The plug covers were great and were definitely worth the extra cost. My son could easily pull out the traditional plug covers. He can not figure these out and has quickly lost interest. They look nice and I like not having to take a plug out and remembering to put it back in when I use a plug. I have already recommended to several friends. | 45 stars

Would buy again
As other reviewers noted, this pail is a little large for a standard plastic grocery bag. However, with some care one can be fitted to the opening.I have observed the issue mentioned in other reviews regarding incomplete opening of the pail lid. I was able to resolve this by repositioning the bag so that the bag does not rest on top of the lever arm. Also, if the pail comes into contact with something behind it (eg a wall) the lid will not open completely. Since the pail is light, it tends to slide backwards until it does come into contact with something. The solution to this problem is to make sure it isn't shoved up against anything.This pail successfully contains the dirty diaper odors even without an air freshener tablet.I would recommend this item to someone looking for a small and inexpensive diaper pail. Its few operational quirks can be readily avoided as described above, and for me they certainly don't obviate its usefulness. | 34 stars

Great stroller
I purchased this stroller a month ago for my then 5 month old daughter. I'm 5'7" and I don't kick the wheels when pushing it. I like the fact that the canopy can move all the way forward. I've used it to block the sun when facing it on walks. There is just enough of a recline for a nap (which she does often). The saddle bags can hold a couple diapers, wipes, cell phone & wallet. If you just fold it up and toss it into your vehicle, the wheels will get the canopy dirty. But if you take just a minute to position them a certain way - it'll stay clean. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the seat is a little on the narrow side. Although at 6 months old and 20lbs, my daughter is quite comfortable in it. | 34 stars

Keeping my Grandbaby safe!
Well,I bought this item since I live on the third floor and my deck would be used by my 1 year old granddaughter as well as my 11 year old cat and 7 year old dog. I didnt want to worry about them going over along with their toys.The only problem is putting it on. The bottom has been a chore to figure out. Just remember to keep it tight while attaching to the bars. | 34 stars

These aren't for babies with sensitive skin....
I bought these repeatedly thinking that they must be the best because they are chlorine free and unscented. So I used these on my daughter from day one, with the first ten days rinsing per the doc's recommendation. How little did I know, in that the following two months my daughter would have the most persistent diaper rash from these wipes. I'd switch to cloth to wipes and heavy creams to get rid of the rash. And then I'd be out and start using these again, and not linking the rash and these wipes together (baby brain). Once we switched to Pampers Sensitves we've not have a diaper rash since. I tortured my poor daughter with a horrid rash just because of these wipes. So yes they are strong, smell wierd, but earth friendly, just not always baby friendly. | 01 star

Read This Before You Buy
While I won't tell you what to do in regards to this product, there are a few things to know before you decide if you should purchase it.Pros -1. The Dex Sound Sleeper allows you to blend sounds. That's nice if you want to mix the ocean with seagulls or the thunder and rain etc. It gives many more sound options. That's really a great feature.2. The size is nice. Not too big, not too small.Cons -1. It truly DOES NOT get loud enough. I used it in my bedroom for the baby and it wasn't nearly as loud as it needed to be. I had it cranked up as loud as it could go and it still wasn't loud enough...even in our average/below average sized room. I don't want it to be deafening, but it should provide a consistent noise level as to drown out other sounds. It was incapable of doing that.2. (and perhaps most annoying) Whenever you turn on the sound machine, you will have to reselect your sound AND turn up the volume. For some unknown reason, it defaults to the lowest volume setting of the same sound. Imagine if you turned on your TV and it always went to channel 3 and was on mute. I should not have to reset the machine every time I use it! Why would they program the machine to do that?3. Some of the sounds aren't great. I used Brook and found that the sound cycle was VERY short, it also had some strange click at the end of the cycle. Also, there was one additional sound in Brook that was so strange I never identified it. The first night it happened, I thought the baby or my husband was breathing funny. Nope, it was some bizarre sound coming from the machine. Rain sounds very mechanical too. Thunder is good though.Needless to say, mine is being returned. Sorry I can't rec. something better. I have a sound machine that was handed down to me and is over 16 y/o. It still works great and I wish I could get another as the one I have is already being used in the house. Sadly, it is no longer manufactured. It just goes to show you, they really don't make things the way they used to. | 12 stars
