Quality declined I have bought four boxes of this product in the past year and had been very happy with it till this latest box. We had to throw away a number of the diapers because the elastic is loose and doesn't conform to the baby's thighs at all. The waistband also tears if the baby moves a lot. Very disappointed in the poor quality.

Provides Mom with lots of hands free time and keeps baby happy I use this bouncer all the time for my 2 month old son, this is my first child, at first he didn't care for the activity bar part, most likely because he's too young, but he's noticing it now and swatting at the parrot to make the lights and sounds go off.He'll sit quietly in this bouncer without the activity bar for up to an hour at a time, even with the vibration off. I don't know if he likes the vibration as there's no reaction from him whether it's on or off, he has fallen asleep with it on though so maybe he does like it?He loves to sit and watch the tv in the bouncer. I can bring it room to room which is great so I can get chores done, and keep an eye on him. I like that you can set it to only light up and play sounds when he makes it move.The only really negative thing to me about this bouncer is that the activity bar is difficult to pull out. My son can get really upset with it there, I've gone to remove it and have to pull so hard that one end came flying out and almost hit him, I think it should slide out easily once you have the clips pulled back to release it.

I'd rate it 100 if possible This is The cutest princess bedding set ever. A great bang for your buck compared to those licensed Disney ones. I live watching my daughter gaze at the cute patterns.

Sling is the only good thing about this tub We registered for this tub thinking it would be good because of the shower. This tub is useless and it leaks all over the kitchen counter. The shower worked only when I was testing it, then it stopped. My wife loves the sling, but that is the only thing good about this tub. If you need a tub, this is NOT the one to buy. I wish we never registered for it.

Lasted one month Well! This refrigerator lock, used to keep my 2 year old nephew out of the refrigerator, worked great for approximately one month, when the teeth holding the lock shut broke off. We did not notice for approximately 1 week though, because by then, he had learned that the refrigerator was unopenable, as it did a nice job keeping him out initially.

Best Car Seat! After purchasing the Eddie Bauer 3 in 1 car seat and finding it to be a nightmare with twisting straps we returned it and did some more research. We found the Britax Marathon and fell in love with it. It fits in our Explorer better and it is very easy to install. The straps never get twisted and are very easy to adjust to the constantly growing baby!

Gotta Love Pampers! As a first time mom I've tried most of the different brands of diapers and Pampers are by far my favorite! And buying them in bulk from Amazon is the way to go.

Baby Shower Gift I like this tub. I have a premature daughter and I used the sling at first in the sink and gave her baths on it. She is now 5 months and I have been using the tub and sling for a couple months when she got big enough for it. She stays supported fine in the tub. Her arms fall down where the sling isn't plush against the tub...that is the only problem I have with it. She hasn't hurt herself though. I think the tub is great.

great product !!! loved it !!! I purchased the Digital Ultra Audio Monitor after a friend of mine recommended it. I had the Summer Infant Digital Monitor but it wasn't very clear and the distance was not a lot. The sound on this is much more clear and having a longer range was a definite plus. Overall, I would recommend this model to other people looking for a secure digital audio monitor. Also the Two Way paging & Wakkie Talkie feature is also great!

Quick and easy to hang I have been completely satisfied with this purchase. The border looked just like it did in the pictures, so there were no surprises there. We had the border completely hung in about 45 minutes (the room is 9'x9') and had no issues hanging it - it was forgiving enough that we were able to shift it a little and smooth out bubbles after initially placing it, but then once we had it smooth and in the right place, it stayed put. We've had it up for maybe six months now and there are no signs of peeling. And it really did perk up the room!

It ruined my chair I bought this booster after owning one of the hard plastic types that strap on to your chair. That type caused scratches and nicks in my chairs. I figured this one would be great because it was soft. My son loves it, and it's easy to get in and out of, but it has ruined my chair! I have solid oak chairs, and this seat has caused the finish on my chair to "melt" somehow. I'm not sure if there is heat created when sitting on it, or how it has happened exactly, but the finish on my chair looks terrible. I will have to buy seat covers for my chair after I'm finished using this booster.This cusion does not slip at all, and my 4 year old has enjoyed sitting in it for over a year now. It has held up, without any damage or signs of wear and tear. It wipes clean very easily, and it's very portable.I think it's a great booster, except for the fact that the suction has ruined the finish of my wooden chairs.....

Fun bouncer Bought this as a gift for my sister's baby. It would be "gender neutral" but maybe somewhat more appropriate for a boy. The chair is comfy and well padded and the toy that hang above do keep the little one entertained. After 4 months of constant use, it still looks great.

One of the best things ever bought for my little one The first Twilight Lady Bug we owned got thrown across the room when my daughter was little and broke. So we had to have another one and got it through amazon. This is one of the best products out and great to help babies up to toddlers go to sleep at night. It is so fun to see the stars and moon on the ceiling and even when my 4 year old goes for sleep overs at grandmas the Twilight lady bug has to come with us. Highly recommend this product to anyone with children.

Great booster seat Great booster seat that's cheap, lightweight, easy to use and sturdy. My only issue is that on wider chairs the straps to secure it only just fit round, but for the majority of chairs it fits perfectly.

It's alright I have two of them, they are OK. I got two for $50 on craigslist and I could not imagine spending over 350 dollars for these two...My baby is 2 months old and does not really like it. My 1 1/2 year old likes it though.

The Most Beautiful Crib and Very Realistic to Use When you order something online, you never know if it will be beautiful and everything you hoped for, or cheap and flimsy. When we built this crib for our new baby girl, we were both impressed with how sturdy and well made the crib is. The wood is thick and nicely sanded. The parts fit together well without requiring modifications. The crib has a nice rich wood scent and looks like the ideal mental image I had of the perfect crib. And since it will convert to a toddler bed and then into a twin bed, there's no wasted crib lying around as unused extra furniture. We are very satisfied with this crib and would highly recommend it.

this was sent as a new baby gift I sent these diapers as a "new baby" gift so I have no direct experience with using them. The new parents like the diapers and the fast delivery(at no cost to me!)from Amazon.com. That is the best that I can do . . .

not tight enough, balls with washing I am very disappointed with this product. The color is good and the sheet feels nice, but it doesn't stay tight on the mattress, and it gets those annoying little balls on it with washing (or rubbing). I don't use it any more as I don't think it's safe for my baby.

Baby Care:Pampers I bought Pampers Cruisers for my 2 year old daugther through Amazon and the product is really good and I have been getting the Pampers Cruisers from the very begining and I am highly satisfied with the product. I initially also got Huggies for my daugther but would rate Pampers Cruisers as a better product with higher quality

Soft sided toy box This is my second toy box that I've purchased like this and I love them. I bring it on vacations and I'm able to stuff a bunch of toys and books into them. They also fold up for storage when they are not needed and my sons cannot hurt themselves if they fall on them or run into them. I like this toy box better than my first one becuase it has the extra bag inside, it divides into two spaces and it has the fold down map that my 3 year old plays with. I used the bag for our recent vacation and packed the babies toys in it and used the larger one for my older son. It's well worth the purchase.

Nice mattress I was hesitant to order this product after reading a review stating the mattress was not true to size and the mattress was short. I was very pleased with this product. I needed a 15 x 33" mattress and that is what a received. The mattress is also a nice thickness. The mattress fit the cradle perfectly. I was not able to find the mattress I needed in the stores. I am glad I found this product on line.

So much fun for me and the baby We bought this originally for the baby's 1st camping trip and we were so amazed on how it lite up the trailer now as he has gotten a little bit older he has learned to turn it on and hold it up to the ceiling and look at the stars, well worth the price

The Best!!!!!!!!! I bought this play pen for my 12 month old because she out grew her travel lite. I love this playard, its easy to set up and put away and its very roomy. The little toy features inside are nice and my daughter seems to like it. You will not regret this purchase, I highly recommend it.

Why bother???? I registered for this, received it as a shower gift, and found it to be very difficult to use. It seemed like it would make swaddling easier, but it didn't. It was easier to figure out how to do a tight burrito wrap with a regular blanket after the nurses in the hospital showed me how -- and my baby preferred that.

Great diapers- even better deal! I love pampers. When my babies are little, pampers are a must. This is a great value with as many diaper changes as you have to do a day. I ordered the diapers and received them the very next day!! No way could I get to walmart with 3 kids and buy diapers that fast!

Broke After One Use The moment I found out I was pregnant, I started looking for the perfect bedding set, and after month seven, I finally decided on the Lambs and Ivy Jake collection. LOVED LOVED LOVED the way everything looked together after getting the room set up, and I couldn't wait to bring my baby boy home to it. However, on our first day back from the hospital, I laid my newborn down in his crib and wound up the mobile FOR THE FIRST TIME, only to hear a super-loud cracking sound--the actual mechanics inside of the casing had cracked. This would make sense if I had wound it really far or were a strong person, but I'm 5'9 and barely over 100 pounds--not exactly a body builder. My husband is a computer repair person who can fix pretty much anything in the house, and after looking at the pieces of the music box, he said it was just cheaply made that there was no way to piece everything back together--it was irreparable.I strongly regret paying so much for a mobile that my son never even got to listen to once. We still have it hung in the crib without the musical piece, so I basically paid thirty-six dollars for four tiny toys hung from a bar--they are cute toys, don't get me wrong, but not thirty-six dollars cute.

Safety Meets Comfort The Britax Boulevard car seat in Brownstone is an excellent car seat. Yes...it IS expensive, but it is worth every penny. Not only is this one of the safest car seats available b/c of TSIP (total side impact protection), but it is also one of the most comfortable.We bought this car seat as a "big boy" seat for my son when he was 6 months old and about to reach the weight limit for his infant seat (Eddie Bauer travel system in Manchester). We were a little worried that he wouldn't like the new seat so we were pleasantly surprised when we strapped him in and two minutes later - before the vehicle ever moved - he was sound asleep!PROS1. The "wings" that provide TSIP make an excellent headrest for a sleeping child. They are not restrictive in any way. Not one time has my child's head "slumped" while sleeping.2. This seat has a knob on each side of the seat in the back that turns easily to reposition the harness moving it up or down with a simple turn. This is one of my favorite things about this seat! There is no rethreading the straps as your child grows - just turn the knobs and the straps move with the headrest. What an idea!!! VERY EASY TO ADJUST!!!3. Yes...this seat IS big, but it fit easily into our Mountaineer and our Accord even in the rear-facing position. There were no problems installing it, and it is VERY secure.4. Excellent padding provided for entire seat. Not only is there an infant pillow that is very easy to remove, but this seat also provides a belly pad to protect the child's legs and belly when buckling them in. In addition there are also protective shoulder pads over each strap of the harness.5. Not only is this seat safe, but it is also one of the most attractive seats on the market. Unlike most seats - it isn't "babyish" looking. It is a nice pattern!CONS1. If I read my manual correctly, the seat cover must be spot cleaned and can't be machine washed. I think that this seat would be perfect IF the cover was machine washable.Hope this review helps you with your decision to buy. You can't go wrong with a Britax Boulevard in any pattern! :)

Wish I spent my money on something else This swing was just a waste of money. The seat is very uncomfortable - it's shaped odd, and it's too soft and doesn't provide enough support. The baby never wants to spend more than a couple of minutes in it. The swinging speed of the lowest setting is way too fast, and the seat doesn't lock in place in case you want to use it as a seat, not as a swing. The toy rings are on the sides of the swing, so it's hard for the baby to play with them. We also have a regular-sized swing and a bouncing seat, and we DO use them a lot.

Great Product and Great Buy! I love pampers and have been a fan for years now. These diapers are great quality and hold up extremely well. Great for sensitive skin and we've never had any diaper rash problems using them. My only complaint about the diapers are that they leave 'fuzzies' on the little ones' nether regions, but nothing that a little wipe can't get rid of. :o)Overall, great product and the price is a steal! I would highly recommend this product to others.

Great for the price! I love these diapers. i have been using it for my son during the day. with the discounts and and all others amazon coupons i got this for a very decent price. i think 50% discount is very good. its been almost a month and i still have half of the box to be used.

ok product I've had this item since day one. Over all it's a pretty good product, but yes it does smell, but my biggest gripe is that when I'm emptying the pail, I have to yank the stuck diapers out of the cylinder. This really is awful, especially since you have your face over a pile stinky diapers. It would be nice if I could just open the pail and grab the bag and close it up before I have to smell the contents.What I've started doing now is buying individual bags that i can enclose the dirty diaper in. This has really helped cut down on the odor and wrapped like this, I can put it anywhere and it doesn't stink. I think with my next baby I'll just use a regular trashcan and these individual diaper bags.

safe???? After hearing what everyone says about Britax I feel that I need to urge people to do their research instead of listening to biased and/or uninformed people that act like they know what they're talking about. I have researched carseats for weeks now. I want a britax because everyone says they are the safest. BUT...they is no research showing that it is. the only published crash test is on consumer reports and the results are not the greatest! Now, I know you may think, "oh, but they recently pulled their reviews because...", but not only were the poorly designed studies that were pulled on infant seats, not the other types of car seats, but also they were pulled because they were subjecting the seats to crashes higher than stated, to crashes of 70mph...In which case, I'd rather have a seat that with stood that test!!! And as far as them being up to "european standards" like they love to brag about, that has nothing to do with the US seats. the US has different regulations on seats here. So a seat that has the exact same name in the US may not be the exact same seat that is sold in europe. Sadly, some of the additional safety features on the seats there have not yet been accepted here and so the seat is made to pass US regulations, sometimes making it a less safe seat. So, where does all this research claiming britax is the safest seat come from???? As far as I can find, it comes from britax themselves, sales people and stores who use that false info to easily sell the most expensive seat, and uninformed people passing on "what they heard" and now claim as "fact"!!! I really wanted to get a britax, but I simply could not find anything to confirm their safety, and only found ratings that state otherwise. (this is in exception to the ease of use rating, which I agree is important) and for those interested, the evenflo triumph V got the top ratings on consumer reports.

Good Overall, But... Overall, I'm glad we got this gate (2 of them, actually). We love the hands-free operation, the price is exceptionally good, and the taupe color blends in very well with most home decors. But here's some odd features that are not mentioned in the product description:1. There is a long delay between the time you unlock the gate (with the remote control) to the time the gate re-locks itself. We have found that when we walk thru the gate, we are standing there waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the gate to re-lock itself so we can close it behind us. As far as I know, this setting cannot be changed.2. When the gate does re-lock itself, the bolt that shoots out makes an extremely loud "BANG" sound, which wakes our babies up if they are in nearby rooms.3. Other reviewers are correct about one remote control opening both gates at times, or one remote control opening neither gate at times if you own two gates, like we do. The manual says to stick a paper-clip into a little hole in the gates, which does fix the problem, except we are doing the paper-clip trick every couple of weeks it seems.4. Occasionally, the gates will go into "learning mode", all on their own, sometimes in the middle of the night. This means they unlock/lock repeatedly, making the loud "BANG" sound over and over, like 10-15 times, until they have worked out whatever issue they are trying to work out. This is a HUGE problem, not just because it will wake us up at night wondering what all the racket is, but also because our toddler is able to walk thru the gates while they are randomly unlocking and locking.I have contacted EvenFlo about these problems, to which a rep responded, "This is not something that I've heard before," so I may take her suggestion and have the gates replaced. As I mentioned up front, we are happy overall with these gates, as we have also had experience with the regular accordian-style manual gates. Hands-free operation can't be beat!

Does it's job. I have had this item about a year and it still looks great. When it gets dirty I just throw it in the washer and it comes out great. It protects the crib railing perfectly and my daughter loved the hanging toys. (our own toys I put there My only regret is that they didn't add snaps or an added way to secure it to the crib. My daughter liked to tear it off every morning. That was how I knew she was up -the Velcro sound echoing in her room. Regardless I still would have bought this and used it to keep my little one from chewing chunks out of the crib rail!

Worth the extra cost These breast pads are thin and absorbent, and the lanolin has made a noticeable difference to my skin. I wear these during the work day so I don't need to bring my tube of lanolin with me to get the benefit.I've tried Johnson's, Medela, and Lansinoh breast pads. Of those three I preferred the Johnson's, which are quite thick but didn't look bunchy when under a thin shirt like the other two did. But they still saturated often. The First Years ones here are very thin, but perhaps because of the lanolin they don't end up saturated and heavy.I highly recommend this product and I feel it's worth the extra cost per breast pad. I still use the cheaper ones overnight but I'll be buying the First Years ones again soon!

So far so good I must say the bassinet looks just as good (if not better) in "real life" as it does in the picture. I have it all set up waiting for baby to arrive. I love the classy look of this bassinet (not too frilly and works for either sex) and it looks great in our bedroom. The onlt complaint I have so far is putting it together. For the most part, the directions are very helpful and things go together easily. However, when you get to the wheels, be prepared. The don't just "snap in" like they are suppossed to. We had to wrap a wash cloth around them and actually hammer the things in. But once you get it together, it's cutness makes you forget about those pain in the butt wheels! Hopefully baby will like it as much as mom does! :)

A Must Have If you have a baby, you pretty much have to have one of these or at least something very similar. The Bjorn is the original and I think the key to their popularity is the simplicity of the design. A lot of other brands have added things (e.g. pockets, extra buckles or straps, multiple carrying positions, etc.) to try and differentiate. Bjorn has kept it simple. Both my partner and I use the same one (easily adjusts for different size people) pretty much everywhere including sweeping and mopping the floors. The boy loves facing forward where he can see everything.Hope this isn't edited: Look around for cheaper prices. They release new patterns every year and many places discount the previous years patterns.

Box came Opened The box the bottles came in got damaged during shipping and the box was open. I got these bottles for my sister-in-law who is having a baby in a couple of weeks. We read the different reviews and I think these bottles fit the needs of most newborns. The ability to get all the air out of the disposable bag and throw the disposable bag away after using is great!

Life-Saver! I don't know what I would have done without this item on my last trip. Traveling with a baby by myself, I had a lot to juggle. Being able to strap the seat to my back and be hands-free was a lifesaver. We don't travel very often, so I didn't want to invest a lot of money into something we would use maybe a couple of times a year. This was an economical, easy solution.

Great Item I purchased this item for my 6 month old and I love it. It replaces the need for a jacket and I can unzip the Bundleme when we are out shopping to keep my little one from getting too hot. I still put a hat on him when its very cold out but I do not have a problem with the wind blowing the top flap off (I have seen that complaint in other reviews) as my car seat has a canopy and that has never been an issue. The material is very soft on the inside and my baby is very comfortable in it. I would highly recommend this product.

Battery life, amazing, son, loves it. End result? A happy mother. I love it, he loves it. What more is there?Currently we have little to no furniture other than beds in the room as my toddler gets into everything. Not having the funds I needed to completely babyproof the bedroom, I ridded myself of of anything dangerous. That aside, this little mighty turtle projects stars quite clearly upon my ceiling and walls from about 7 feet down.There isn't much for my son to do with it when it's on, thus he usually leaves it alone. There's an on and off switch on the bottom and the batteries are secured with a screw. Perfect!Three colours, green, blue and "amber" AKA orange. Orange is quite dim, but I actually use orange when my son is out for the night at grandmas and I'm alone.I use it as much as he does. Every evening after he's asleep and I go to bed [we share a room] I turn it on for myself to fall asleep to. I didn't know how much I enjoyed a simple night light until now.Perfect for adults, fantastic for children. All in all a very solid product for a great price. Stick to the Twilight Constellation turtle, nothing fancier.5/5 stars from this happy customer.Oh, and I've tried a few projection machines for my son so far. A Graco Slumber Machine [more of a nightlight than projection, with a lot of mediocre music... but it got us through the first year before it quit.] and a Winnie The Pooh projection machine. Winnie the Pooh is wearing a sleep gown and looks babyish on the one I had received from a Thrift Store. I didn't like either. Winnie the Pooh had too many things for my son to push and keep himself up with to play with. And as I said, the sleep machine quit. Winnie the Pooh didn't take batteries, but the sleep machine did... and they didn't ever work.Long story short, I'm satisfied with this turtle and I sincerely regret not shelling out the $15 for it two and a half years ago. It would have been a fantastic investment when my son was a baby.

Great Value for the price My 7 week old son seems to be having a continuous unperturbed sleep in this rocker. Assembling it was a breeze and you would know that this product would last at least till the child grows out of it.

Great tub We really like this tub! The hammock is a nice feature for a newborn, and we stopped using it when our baby was around 3 months old. The tub seems to support the baby well and has a little ridge at the bottom to keep early sitters from sliding. We use the baby tub in our own bathtub with no problem, but it didn't fit so well in our below-the-counter kitchen sink. I wish the little drain hole at the bottom would drain at full speed when the tub is sitting flat with baby in it, but I find that I have to tilt the tub a little for a faster drain. Overall this is a great tub and I highly recommend it!

Pampers I used Pampers swaddlers when my baby was first born and LOVED them!!! It's silly, but since he's outgrown swaddlers and I've started buying less expensive diapers, I've missed the powdery clean smell of Pampers in his room, I also figured they would be a lot better than Huggies because of the price, so I was excited to find a good deal on these Pampers. Turns out they're just fine--they are softer than Huggies, but when they get wet they feel like they are full of gel, kinda weird. I don't think they are worth paying more to get, but I didn't have any problems with them. Oh, and my baby is around 20-21 pounds, and when I am done with this pack, I think I'll move to size 4. He's only 10 months (so a little chubby), and the diapers are getting a little small around his waist. Plus, if he sleeps for a long time, he challenges the capacity.

Convenient We never leave home without this chair. We usually use it when we go to family or friends' homes. It also comes in handy, if you go to a restaurant. Some of those high chairs are just disgusting.

Disappointed with this... I was so excited about this item that I preordered it. I love the rainforest theme and was disappointed that it hadn't come out earlier so that this could have been the theme for all of my daughter's baby gear (she is almost 5 months).We got the bouncer a week ago and I can't begin to say how disappointed I was. It isn't nearly as long as the picture suggests and the toys on the toy bar come down way too low. It is almost to the point where she can't play with them because they hit her legs - not to mention the rings that are suppose to attach to the bottom of the monkey - there is no room to attach them. My daughter is only 13 pounds and this is suppose to be good up to a 25 lb baby. I can't imagine if she was any bigger. And the rings come off way too easily anyways - my daughter has them both off within seconds (I attach them to the monkey's ears).On the plus side, my daughter is very interested with everything and loves to watch and listen to everything that is happening and she loves the toys on the toy bar. But unless I got a defective model it was just very poorly constructed.

working nursing moms - get it if you can afford it... It took me a while to purchase this pump as I really couldn't justify the price. I rented a pump from the hospital (the lowest priced one the hospital had) but when I tried to take it to work my first week back, I felt like I was I was carrying a sewing machine around - it was big and bulky and in a bright blue hard plastic case. So I thought instead, I would use one of my single pumps at work. (I was given an Isis hand pump at my shower and had bought an Evenflo electric/battery). But, it took forever to express from one side at a time - 15 mins each side. And I could not justify two half hour breaks per day in addition to my lunch hour. (I pumped at 10 or 11am and then again at 2 or 3pm). On occasion, I even struggled with trying to use my Evenflo on one side and my hand operated Isis on the other... what a pain. It was all about how much time I could spare at work...Anyway - once I decided that I was committed to continuing to pump at work - I plunked down the $$ for this pump and the time and frustration it has saved me has made it worth every cent. My baby is 11 months old now. I still pump at least once per day at work - and it makes me feel so good to know he has Breast milk at home to supplement his solids/meals when I'm not there.Mostly I left the pump/bag in my office and just take the bottles and pumping parts home to clean daily (and I got a portable freezer bag to transport milk) but I had to commute to NYC once or twice per month and I was able to take it along and store my milk in the built-in freezer compartment . The bag looks like a briefcase (its discreet if you're shy about people knowing what it is) and although the pump is a tiny bit heavy it was still fairly easy to tote around on subways and such.IT IS LOUD - just know that. I at least had private places at work to go where I could close a door, plug it in and not worry about the noise. But if you are committed to pumping while you are at work and have time issues, or if you have to pump for your health or because you can't feed from the breast - I say if you can scrape together the money for this you should get it.

Good for the money I needed a rocker to help transition from cosleeping. I put this together and was disappointed in the quality. It seems flimsy and creaked at first which would wake my 3 month old while she was dozing off. It doesnt recline as much as iI hoped, and its annoying when the kick stand is up and i need to move it because the rubber makes it impossible. I don't see us keeping this til toddler years though. You get ehat you pay for. I have the owl version and its really cute.

It Saved My Nipples! This is my first time breastfeeding, and my chest was ALWAYS really sore. Lanolin was keeping my nipples from getting chapped, but was doing nothing for the soreness. THIS DID! I LOVE the smooth texture of the product. It doesn't hurt or irritate your nipples more when you put the product on. It really does feel like butter, nice & creamy (not sticky and gross like other lanolin), gentle, and best of all it's 100% NATURAL. I highly reccommend.

Great purchase!!! My husband and I bought this walker for our son when he was four months old. (I know that he was a little young, but he liked to stand and you can only hold a baby in a standing position for so long.) He absolutely loves it! We have had it for a month now and he can make it go all over my dining room. All of the sounds are great. He is figuring out how to make them work on his own and gets very excited. The walker is very sturdy and well balanced. The walker is making him feel more independent everyday.This was a great purchase!!!

A waste of money and a fire hazard I recieved two of this bottle warmer for my baby showers. The heating element on both burnt out within a month of use. The second one smoked and caught fire causing a fire hazard. Thank goodness I was in the room when it did this. When it did work it was either too hot or too cold. Sometimes when purchasing a product that doesn't work right you could say that you just got the bad one in the bunch but when two of the same product have the same problems I think it is poor manufacturing. Save your money. The bottle in the pan worked much better for me.

My baby LOVES this jumperoo! We got this for our baby for Christmas - when she was only 4 months old. She was a little too small for it then, but once she grew into it, it has been one of her favorites! She is now 12 months, and still loves this. She'll spend 15 minutes or more in the jumperoo just bouncing and bouncing with a big smile on her face. The toys on the jumperoo are excellent as well. It was an exciting day for her when she was finally big enough to jump and reach the parrot hanging from the top!I highly recommend this toy for anyone considering this or an exersaucer. We actually returned the exersaucer we received in favor of this. My baby loves this toy and I imagine yours would too!

Smells HEAVENLY and cleans I am in love with this baby shampoo. It smells like a creamsicle (vanilla and orange). I adore the way it makes my one year old smell. And it leaves his hair soft and shiny. I know other people had said it makes their little ones' hair dry, but I don't seem to have that problem. I have even used the soap on my own hair and I had no issues. I also want to say that a little of this soap goes a very long way. I use about 2 pumps per bath! It is a little pricier than other baby soaps, but you get what you pay for. The fact that it has zero toxins is important to me. This soap got a rating of 0 (the best you can get) on Cosmetic Database! I would recommend this soap to anyone!

Wonderful Luxury Although I do consider this a luxury, not a necessity, I love it! We live in an old, drafty house and even though our newborn daughter didn't seem to mind cold wipes, they bothered me. This unit sits on our changing table and works perfectly. The first several wipes are just the right temperature and always moist. I've never had a problem with wipes drying out, overheating or getting cold. I just refill the unit every few days. It does work in the car and it's great on long trips. However, when the unit is unplugged mine cools off rapidly. So, I don't bother to carry it in the diaper bag (but I probably wouldn't even if it did keep them warm). When plugged in with the ac adapter the plug buzzes audibly (transformer? heating element?), but we're used to that. This warmer is absolutely maintenance free (aside from refilling the wipes). Don't waste your time and money on those other units. This one is wonderful.

Fit the Klean Kanteen! We use these BPA-free caps to cover our toddler's Klean Kanteen sippy. If you are looking for a cover to keep the sippy clean, these are fantastic and fit the Klean Kanteen perfectly. Great solution that allows us to use the steel, safe sippys with the Avent system.

Great Car Seat We LOVE our carseat! It has a great design...it looks stylish and my son is absolutely safe in it! Once it's buckled correctly it doesn't budge from the seat. I love the adjustable back so my son has grown with it. I fully intend to use it for my next child.

Love this high chair I really like this high chair. The fabric cover is easily removable for washing, and the chair itself is extremely sturdy. I think it is nearly impossible for it to tip over in the course of normal use. The safety harness is a little weird in design, but once you get used to it, it is easy. I think this chair is an excellent value for the pricetag (under $100, new).

Great system at a great price! My husband and I decided on this travel system for our baby boy. Once he finished putting it all together it looked great. We even went and tried the car seat in our explorer and it fits great, since it comes with the base that is one less thing we have to worry about. The functions the stroller has are great. We are still waiting for out baby to arrive but I am sure he will have a blast in this travel system.

Great pillow After my c-section this pillow was a godsend; trying to hold a child in the correct nursing position with your abdomen stitched shut can be incredibly painful those first few weeks, especially when they take a few times to latch on correctly. This pillow supports their weight for you so you don't have to. You can also use bed pillows, but my son is now 5 months old and I still enjoy using my Boppy. It still positions my son just right for nursing even though he's grown quite a bit. I definitely recommend this product.

Works great - just measure first The extension worked great and was solid when installed. Unfortunately, I did not measure the opening at the top of the stairs and the extension caused the gate to be too long.

Try Playtex VentAire instead We used Avent bottles for several weeks, but our baby was spitting up _all the time_, seemed like she was choking during feedings, and had gas all the time. We switched to the Playtex VentAire bottles when she was 6 weeks old, and problem solved! No more crying from gas, she hardly ever spits up anymore, and she has a much easier time at feedings. The flow is slower and it really does cut down on the amount of air she takes in during feedings. So, I highly recommend trying something other than the Avent bottles for small infants. Maybe later, when our baby is a bit older we'll pull out the Avent bottles again, but for now, we aren't using anything except Playtex VentAire.

Silver Cross Balmoral Pram is a Doozy We were given a Balmoral Pram at the birth of our daughter (1977), and it has been our favorite neighborhood walkabout for her and her children ever since. It's not useful for trips or shopping, of course, since it can't be collapsed, and it would be too big for your trunk, even if it could be.It's mildly bouncy and jouncy on those great curved spring-steel slats the carrier rides on, and the babies LOVED that. Ordinarily it would put them to sleep, and if they wouldn't sleep, a mild increase in jouncing induced giggles... much preferred to crying. The buckled leather straps that attach the slats to the carrier are subject to dry-rot, but easily replaceable in any harness shop.As an urban stroller for walks around the neighborhood or in the local park, it's absolutely perfect. And the LOOKS you get! Priceless.

Made carseat travel possible Our daughter hated being in a car seat and car for the first 4 months of her life. I hated everyone who would suggest taking her for a ride to fall asleep bacause every ride was a screamathon for us. Anyway we found the snuzzler when she was about 2 months old. She didn't change her attitude completely but it was definately a marked improvement. I think she felt much more secure in it than she had before with just the infant head rest.

Choking hazard I used this gym for my first child without incident, and he loved it. However, when my second son was 4 months old he gagged on one of the pieces. I laid him on his back to play and moments later heard him gagging. The blue spinning part of the parrot hanging toy was completely inside his mouth and he couldn't turn his head. Luckily nothing serious happened, but I wanted other parents to be aware of this potential problem. Fisher-Price is a very nice company to deal with. I sent the toy back and received a voucher.

Works, but not always We followed the instructions to set it up and it works most of the time. We've had it for a couple months now and one time our 5 year old did fall off the bed even with it in place.I think it does help, but not always. Checking to make sure it's not loose on a regular basis is recommended.

Warmer works good For the money this is a great bottle warmer. The only problem is you pour water in to steam and it's hard to learn how much is the "right" amount. Overall though-it's worth it.

Very satisfied We're on our first child, and after lots of research (there seems to be good and bad about EVERY monitor out there), I asked my sister-in-law for recommendations. She told me she'd started with an expensive brand monitor, only to find issues with it, and replaced it with The First Years monitor. Said it wasn't perfect, but none are, so why spend more money? Wow, so glad I took her advice! These were inexpensive, and after four months of use, the only thing I would improve on them is their antennae (would be nice if they were less in the way when clipped on the belt). We have not had a problem with static, unless the channels accidentally get bumped out of sync (our fault, anyhow) and it fixes as soon as we match them back up. No interference, even when beside other electronic items. Nice clear sound, all the way down two stories to my laundry in the basement! My sister has gone through several different brands, my mom has several for grandkid naptimes at her house, and this one beats them all hands down. That said - we're four months in. We'll have to let you know what their longevity is, but I'm expecting it to be pretty good.

Works great! I ordered these after 2 weeks of frustration trying to get my son to latch onto my one flat nipple (the other side is normal). The doctor and lactation specialists said I didn't need these, to just pump to help draw out the nipple and keep trying. I wish I hadn't listened to them because within 5 days of wearing these, he was latching on regularly with no issues, and within 2 weeks was no longer showing any nipple preference between the two sides! (Since I was also pumping that may have sped up the process.) I did give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it looks weird when wearing it, I definitely wouldn't have left the house in it. And second, it leaks a lot if you're not careful--I wouldn't realize how much milk was in it (the foam pads are not very helpful unless you only have a tiny bit of milk coming out) and then it would spill all over me from the air holes when I shifted. However, that "wasted" milk was completely worth it to me since I can now nurse from both sides with no problems. I just wish I had gotten them earlier!

Junk This product is horrible. The middle part of the play yard will not lock. We haven't even had the chance to use it and it is already broke. It is horrible. I will never buy anything from Evenflo again.

Not good I bought this changing table because it looked like a good deal for the price. My husband and I put it together, like all our nursery furniture, and it was the only piece we've had trouble with. The instructions were ridiculously unclear. Only two of the type washers you're directed to build with were provided, but dozens of large flat washers were included so we used those instead. The wood actually split with the force of a handheld screwdriver inserting a screw into the pre-drilled hole! The shelves are thin clapboard and don't meet the edges of the wood, and the metal supports vary in distance from the shelves. The top shelf that will hold your baby is more than half an inch above the support so it's going to get bent. It was just altogether sloppy workmanship. But it's sturdy enough (with a little wood glue to help out) so if you're looking to save money, that's the only reason it might ever be worth your time.

Sizing is WAY different from the Huggies S & D I bought in store! Bought these diapers because I use Huggies and have always thought they are great, however, these size 3's are MUCH smaller than ANY of the 3's I've bought in store and are almost too small for my 19lb baby! I'm so annoyed I bought an entire box of size 3's which SHOULD fit him well but don't! Also, the tabs are different, they are not rounded at all and are scratchy if baby touches them, they also rip off just opening the diapers.

I love this monitor!!! We purchased this monitor when we found out that our preemie son would finally be going off his apnea monitor. It was then that we realized that we wouldn't be able to sleep at night without it! This monitor has given us peace of mind. It's worked perfectly since we've gotten it, and we've had no false alarms in the 3 months since we've been using it. It also works great for travel. We put the movement sensor on the bottom of his Pack 'N Play right above the crossbars and below the mattress. As the parent of a preemie who got "spoiled" at night by the apnea monitor, this is the next best thing! This is worth the price just for the movement sensor!

What a great product! We got this as a gift right before our daughter was born. Little did we know this bouncer would become the most indespensible item we owned! The neat thing to me is that the bouncer becomes a different toy to her each week as she develops. When she was brand new she could only really appreciate the vibrations and sounds, but that was plenty. I could set it next to the tub and it would keep her calm and distracted long enough for me to get a bath when I was alone. As she grew and her vision improved she got to start enjoying the great show that goes on in the window. All those bubbles, the kissing fish, the star that does somersaults, it's cute and very hypnotic. I often notice her smiling and kicking with delight while watching this show. And as her kicks are getting stronger, we are able to switch it over to interactive mode, where her movements influence the sounds. Now, at 12 weeks old, she is just starting to kick and grab at the fish and seahorse that hang down. So once again, a new toy! Not a day goes by that my husband and I don't sing the praises of this fun, entertaining little invention. I highly recommend!

Not too impressed! We received the Wide Opening Genie as a gift. It was a pain in the neck right from the start. The refills were a pain to figure out and we ended up wasting a large amount of the refill trying to get it working properly.(Now that we know how to use it, it is easy to work.) The refills are expensive and you end up paying a fortune to keep the Genie in "working" condition. My son is two months old and fills the diaper Genie up in a day or two. I can't imagine how quickly it will fill up when his diapers are bigger. In my opinion it would be nice if it were a bit bigger. I think a diaper pail that uses regular bags would be much easier to take to the trash than the stupid sausage. THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS A PAIN!! The smell is ok and hasn't been a problem, but then again his diapers don't smell yet! I would definitely check into other diaper pail options before wasting your money on this system.

Best Stroller ever! I love this stroller. There is absolutely nothing bad I could say about it!

Pretty good organiser This is a pretty good organiser. It goes on the stroller easily. It has two cup holders which is great plus two decent sized open pockets.The zippered compartment however is very small. I was hoping to put my wallet in the zippered compartment so that I wouldn't need to carry a bag with me for quick trips. There's no way it would fit in there, you'd fit keys or a phone and that's it. If they made this compartment bigger it would be perfect!

Great stroller, but.... We bought this stroller a year and a half ago, for our first child. I really like the stroller itself. It's sturdy (sturdier than the Bugaboo, I thought), stylish and easy to maneuver. I originally bought it because it had a pram attachment, which we used pretty much exclusively for the first couple of months, after that, it got stored in the garage. I did tons of research on strollers and knew I wanted something to last but also something that wasn't going to break the bank. And I'm glad I didn't buy the Bugaboo, because know looking at what I don't like about the Rock Star, looks like the same things I don't like about the Bugaboo.1. No aftermarket snack tray. When my son was younger, this didn't bother me, but it seems a lot of the newer strollers, unless you go with the traditional Graco model, are lacking in snack trays. It may not be important when your baby is little, but when they're toddlers, you will do anything to buy yourself an extra five minutes of time.2. The sun shade isn't nearly wide enough. Even with the plastic visor. We started out in CA, but even after we moved cross country, I couldn't really go out that much during the summer, because my son wasn't old enough for sun screen, and we didn't get any sun coverage.3. No cup holder for the parents. I didn't realize how much that annoyed me until I was out with it a few times and I was trying to steer and hold my drink at the same time.4. No storage. I can manage to shoehorn a lot of (soft) stuff in here, but if you're using it for food shopping or going to the mall, you'll be scrambling.5. The seat doesn't fully sit up. One of the things I really liked about my friends traditional every day brand name strollers, is that the seat sits up all the way. The RSB sits up at a slight decline, which makes my nearly one year old son, sit hunched to the side. I think this annoys him as well. On the other side, while it fully reclines and does so easily, he's still in the "sitting" position. He can nap in there, but would you nap with your legs in the air? I'm noticing this trend on a lot of newer "trendier" strollers. I want something where he can lay flat, like he did in his pram.6. The wheel base is too wide. I noticed that a lot of stores don't have room for strollers, and they really won't have room for this one. Half the time one of us has to stand outside if we're out boutiquing.7. When I first bought this, we had a Graco Safeseat, and the attachment only fit the snugride. Whether they've fixed this or not, I don't know. But I couldn't use my frame.8. You have to manually flip the seat around if you want to change direction, which is a pain. I know some are like this, but others have the ability to just move the bar.Overall, this stroller is a great, well made stroller. It handles like a dream. We did have a little sticking with the front wheels over the summer, but a little WD-40 on them and they were right as rain again, and we haven't had the problem since. It's stylish looking, and works great on any terrain. But I'm guessing that one of reasons they stopped making the cheaper sister stroller, the Infiniti I'coo (basically the same stroller, without the bells and whistles) is because of all of the things that are lacking.We actually tested this stroller out in a store and really liked it, but after a year of using it, I'm more aware of what's really necessary and what's a pain.

great purchase I am so happy with this stroller! We have loved using it this summer. I have a 3 month old son and a 3 year old daughter and what is cool about this stroller is that they can swith spots according to the temperamental wishes of my toddler. She can see great from both spots (if the front umbrella is off, which it always is for us). The only tiny probem for me is that when the baby is in the back, you can't see him and he is kind of covered by umbrellas (from the stroller and his car seat). The graco snugride seat fits perfectly in both slots and seems very safe. This stroller pushes great and maneuvers through tight spaces pretty well. It doesn't seem too heavy at all, even with the two kids in it. The front seat is larger than most stadium strollers so my 3 year old doesn't seem squished or uncomfortable (though she may be a little smaller than the average 3 year old). I really struggled between 4 or 5 stars because we do LOVE it, but the very few things are that thing I mentioned earlier about the baby in the back seat, and that it does fold up easily like it claims - but it does take up quite a bit of space in the back of our SUV for trips (however, I am sure that it is good compared to other models), and one of the front wheels somehow got warped already and we have no idea how- but it still works fine anyway. I would recommend this stroller over any of the readily available ones in Wal-Mart,Target, etc. Spend the extra time and money and get a good one like this one- it'll be worth it. As for the color, this one is great because it could be for both a girl and boy, and is a nice gray color that looks nice with about any car seat color, and dad isn't embarrased to push it.

Worth every penny! I've had this diaper bag for 7 months now, and I adore using it. The reason I bought it in the first place was because it looks like a purse, not some pseudo-purse diaper bag. Yes it's a rather large bag, but it doesn't feel like carry-on luggage like my old bag. It wipes clean easily, and the outer surface doesn't look like it's covered in clear sheet plastic like my old bag.The compartments are great - I use the front two pockets to hold clean and dirty teething items. Since I don't carry bottles, I use the insulated comparments on the sides to hold clothes for my preschooler on one side and my 6mo on the other. There's plenty of room for diapers and a wipe pack inside, and the changing mat is more useful since it folds out rather than rolls (easier one-handed).I highly recommend this bag - you will be stuck hauling varying items for your kids for a long time, so why not have a bag you love rather than some annoying diaper bag you long to be rid of.

Soothing for a newborn, but interactive features not well designed for older baby I own two bouncers, this one and a Fisher-Price Kick'N'Play model. Of the two, this one was definitely the more soothing for my daughter when she was younger, from 2-5 months. The bubbles and moving fish seemed to mesmerize her, and the vibration would help calm and soothe her for at least a half an hour (for the first couple of months, she'd sleep with the vibrations).However, now that she's older, she's actually begun to find this bouncer frustrating. The two hanging toys are positioned for kicking, but are frustratingly out of reach of her hands. She struggles to sit up -- probably a great workout for her abs -- in order to reach them, but with the deep recline of this bouncer (a great feature for a newborn, less great for an older baby) she can never manage it, and she struggles in the bouncer, grunting and fretting. If she does manage to kick the toys, the way the bouncer responds is to change from one piece of tinkly music to a different piece. I don't think she notices. She likes her (unfortunately discontinued) other bouncer much better, because she can reach the toys and because there is a much more obvious response from the toy arch when she pulls toys or kicks the footpads.So it was good for a few months but I had to retire the toy arch by the time she was 6 months old. Now I just use the bouncer as a seat, but the recline is too deep for her to be comfortable; I now have it in a (probably not approved) position with the back end propped up.

Not happy with price increase! I used to buy diapers at the store since my daughter was born but a friend of mines told me about amazon with the amazon mom & suscribe & save I realized I could get the same brand of diapers Pampers BabyDry and get it cheaper. When I enrolled I paid $30 for a case of 222 size now- Not even 2 weeks later the case price was raised to $36. Guess i'm going to start shopping back at the stores.The diapers however are great! Haven't had any leaking problems since she was born and she is 9 months now.

Sleeps through the nite. The Pampers Baby Dry Diapers are great. If any mom's out their have a little one who screams the minute the pamper is soiled then this is a must have. The dry protection is so great my little 3 month old can sleep 8-9 hrs straight through the night with out a change. Plus I love the straight to my door process from Amazon mom, it is one less thing I have to worry about and can spend more time with my little one.

Just what i needed to baby proof the coffee table! I have an espresso wooden rectangular coffee table. I bought two sets of these and they are working perfectly! They come with 3M adhesive tape and attach securely. For some reason, even when I measure and lay out the tape carefully the strips always were cut a little too short so I had to cut a few filler pieces for the spaces between some of the corners and the edging. I applied the edge guard on both the top of the table and the lower table that sits close to the ground.My little one was making us so nervous from hitting her head on this thing before so now we don't have to sit there with our hands over the corners when she plays around it! I know she will fall and bump her head from time to time but I think this could help prevent a serious accident. When I googled some babyproofing options for coffee tables I read a lot of stories about some really gory coffee table accidents so I do think this is worth it even if they aren't the most attractive thing in the world!
45 stars
Waste of space This item is completely unnecessary. I'd heard mom friends mention it and thought it would be a good addition to our nursery. But it's pointless if you live in an apartment since you're probably tossing your trash down a chute every day or so. And turns out that it's equally pointless in a house. No one wants stinky diapers accumulating, but this gizmo is nothing more than a glorified trash can. Save yourself the money and just use a regular garbage can.

Love it! Works perfectly as a baby play yard. Keeps my little one safely contained. I will probably buy the extensions to use this to fence off certain areas of the room when he outgrows it as a play yard. It is very sturdy and easy to use. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

Do not buy!! It leaks!!!! I have a boy, and like many of the others who have wrote a review, I am very disappointed in this product. While I'm thrilled when my son tells me he has to go potty, I'm tired of cleaning up the floor after every trip to the "royal throne". This product was very poorly designed. Boys somehow shoot through where the top of the pan meets the bottom of the chair. There is no way Fisher Price did any "trials" on this product before putting it on the market. And as for the music, the batteries quickly ran out because the thing was playing music all the time, even if no one was in the room.

A Waste! I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this product. I bought these crib rail protectors and my twin boys figured out how to remove them within a few days and they are under 9 months old. So not only did I waste my money purchasing these, but both of my cribs also have a bunch of teeth marks... exactly what I was trying to avoid. What a waste!
