love it
i love this manual pump. very easy to use and very easy to clean too. iam able to express enough milk in about 5-10 minutes which i thought is pretty fast for a manual pump. never had any problem with my wrist hurting or anything. | 45 stars

Good fit
I was happy to be able to find this mattress to fit a cradle that has been in our family for a long time. The new baby has not arrived yet so the mattress has not been tried out yet but I am pleased with the purchase. | 45 stars

Sturdier than expected
We needed to optimize space in our nursery and this corner changing table offered a good option. I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be as sturdy as one would want but it actually is. There's plenty of room for diapers, baby wipes and all the other diapering needs. The one thing I'm not crazy about is the changing pad. It's not the best quality and the plastic protection cover it comes with makes it loud and awkward to use. I'm going to try getting a regular rectangular pad of better quality. | 34 stars

worth it!
These pampers are great. My son hasnt gotten any rashes and they hold lots of liquid. This price was a better buy for us than target brand diapers which were fine with him too. I also used cloth diapers as well so this big box really lasted. | 45 stars

HORRIBLE--fails every criteria for a good wipe
I was using Pampers Sensitive wipes for my baby but then seeing what a low score it received on Good Guide ([...]), I wanted to switch to another product that would be environmentally and baby friendly (i.e. free of chlorine, fragrances, etc.). I selected Seventh Generation Free and Clear wipes based on their ratings on Good Guide and Amazon. WHAT A BAD IDEA. First, they have the funkiest smell imaginable. Free and clear should also mean free and clear of obnoxious smells. Second, these wipes are tiny. Were they made for dolls? Third, they dry out fast, so even if I open a fresh pack, they are not as moist as other wipes on the market. Last, they do not fit my wipe tub which fits most other brands (Pampers, Huggies), so every time I pull out one wipe through the flap, the one below doesn't queue in place. I have to manually open the tub and pull out the next one. Fun right...when you are changing a wriggly baby with one hand while holding his legs with the other and trying to stop him from touching his poopy self? If I could, I would return the unopened packs. | 01 star

Excellent
I gave this item as a present for a baby shower. The receiver loved it. It has a convenient tray to lift and put in the dishwasher when it gets dirty. | 45 stars

Love it!
I love this set. It is so adorable. If you can find the whole set I highly recommend it. The materials are gingham and plush velor and fleece. It is such a great set for a boy. It has an adorabe car and traffic theme going on along with traffic lights. So very happy with it. | 45 stars

Great product
My daughter being a special needs child is incontinent. She was growing out of the size 6 nighttime diapers and we needed something bigger in size. After combing the internet and reading all the reviews about these diapers we thought we would give them a try (as they received great reviewed by parents of special needs and those without special needs. The first night was a success! Seeing she is totally dependent on diapers it was a very full diaper the next morning - however her pajamas were dry and nothing leaked out. We were really impressed.I would recommend this product for children still learning to potty train or for special needs children who aren't toilet trained. They work very well and we were impressed. Even though we receive assistance from insurance for diapers we will continue to purchase and use these as they are much better than the diapers we receive. These will certainly keep her dry and comfortable at night. | 45 stars

Good activity center for the money
I bought this for my daughter when she was about 4 months old, but she was too small for it and not coordinated enough to get any enjoyment out of it. She is now 6 months old and is really starting to like this. She likes the music and she can spin the seat around to get to the toys she wants to grab. She can spend at least 20-30 minutes in here now and it's fun to watch her play in it. I didn't want to spend $80 or $90 on an activity center and a friend had this and said her son liked it, so I bought it and I'm happy with the purchase. I can see my daughter liking this for several months to come, and it's unisex, so we'll save it for our next baby. One thing I wish is that there were other toys you could buy to snap in and have some more variety. That's why I only gave it 3 stars. | 23 stars

I love this potty chair!
Alright - for everyone complaining, here's my take on this product. It is simply fantastic. Here's why:* You can choose to use the music/sensor feature (shut it off if it's distracting!)* It's easy to clean! Potty only goes in the potty! Simple to rinse and clean. No mess, no hassle. Hard plastic is easy to wipe down with a disinfecting wipe.*The splash guard comes off so if you don't need it, or it's distracting, you can remove it. My son never used it*The base comes off and it clips right on to your big potty! HUGE advantage! We have potty seats for all the other bathrooms except my sons (where most of the potty training happens) so having his own chair to grow into is huge! We used it with the base when he was starting, but then used it on the potty when he was ready. Makes potty time easy!*Songs help pass the time. Even mommy gets tired of waiting! The cheerful potty time songs make the time go by fasterThis chair makes going potty easy! We love it! Thanks Fisher-Price for another great product! | 45 stars

Couldn't do without it.
This has been a lifesaver for us. When my infant son seems a little fussy, we just put him in the swing and it calms him right down. I love it. | 45 stars

Great Seat
This car seat is easy to take in and out of the car. Needs to have a piece of padding around the latch that comes between the legs. We have pinched little legs once or twice because this is lacking. | 34 stars

Awesome Nappies!
I love these diapers. No chlorine means less chemicals on yourbabies skin. 60% of chemicals that touch the skin are absorbed intoit. I highly recommend these diapers if you can't do cloth. | 45 stars

The smallest thing Ive ever seen!
I know it was my fault for not reading the dimentions off the bat. But the picture they show is of the cartoon image and not of the actual unit. It is actually too small your name has to be 5 or less letters to be legible and the faces of the princesses are so small they are distorted. Belle looks like a man! And dont get me started on the stapled packaging this looks so completely used, repackaged and sold its ridiculous! | 01 star

Very nice!
This product is great! It feels nice and is very relaxing. My only complaint is that the scent is slightly too strong for my 8-month old. I'm thinking we'll wait to use it when he turns a year old. | 34 stars

Exactly what it says, best for the price
I was looking for an affordable play mat and this is exactly what it is. Baby is captivated and the toys are removable. The lights are minimal but still functional. I like it and so does the baby. Great for the price. | 34 stars

Great price!! horrible shipping time
I order this item almost every month my daughter has been in size 3's for about 5 months or so. You can not beat the price on this site its pretty amazing. However, I have noticed that with each order it takes longer and longer for them to arrive. Its pretty annoying that they cant seem to get them here any faster and so dont wait to order them if you are going to need them within the next 2 weeks order them cause chances are they will take that long to get there. Pretty sad but with the price I guess they have to mess you up somewhere. I was disappointed because I went off the last time I ordered and the amount of time they took and this time it took 3 days longer. So I had to run to the store and pay full price :(All in all great product Pampers always are but be careful ordering from here when your in a rush! | 34 stars

Works well for us!
We purchased the booster a couple of months ago to use in place of the highchair that our child strongly disliked. So far we have been very pleased with this purchase!Before buying this booster, we borrowed a Safety First "Grow with Me Booster" from a dear friend and did enjoy that one. Hers was an older, blue and turquois version, (but not the version that was recalled). After trying that we knew that the booster was the way to go for us, as our then 13 month old was much happier in it than he had been in his highchair.So I went to Babies R Us with the intent of trying out the Fisher Price Booster, with it's rave reviews, and if we didn't like the FP one I would go ahead and purchase the "Grow with Me Booster".Well, a clerk took the FP booster out of the box to let us try it and it was quite small! My child is on the big side, and the clerk and I agreed he would not fit that booster for long.So, since we were at it, I decided we would try out this booster before settling on the "Grow With Me" seat. Well,I certainly am glad that we did!Unlike the "Grow With Me", the "Fold N Go" has only one piece for the seat and one for the back, (plus a tray). While food gets trapped in between the 3 seat pieces plus back of the "Grow With Me" seat, with this "Fold N Go" the fewer parts means it is easier to keep clean - less nooks and crannies!Also, the tray is easier to work on this seat than the GWM, ("Grow With Me"), booster. While I didn't have much trouble with my friend's GWM, my in-laws happen to have a newer, multicolored version of the GWM booster that we use when we visit there. The tray on that GWM booster is quite tricky to use. The FNG, ("Fold N Go), seat has a tray that is much easier to remove. And unlike some of the other reviews, to date our child has never even attempted to remove the tray, so we have had no problem with that. (He was able to remove the tray on his high chair, however).The seat strap is more substancial on this FNG booster than on the GWM booster. It looks and feels more comfortable and of a better quality.Also, some reviewers have complained about the straps that hold this booster to the chair coming loose easily. We rarely remove our booster from our dining chair, and our straps have never become loose.Please note that this booster does feature retractable straps FOR TRAVEL. When installing the booster, you are supposed to pull the straps completely out, per the instructions. If by chance these reviewers are using the retracting feature to tighten the slack on the straps when the seat is installed, this could be the reason that their straps have loosened up.Also, a note to those who complain that this or any booster is unstable. Perhaps the fault lies not in the booster, but in the chair to which it is installed.Our booster is strapped into an oak dining chair, but it is not a bulky oak chair. So why it is heavier than some dining chairs, our child could still tip it over if he is seated too closely to the kitchen table. If he pushes on the table while in the seat, he could possibly knock over his chair.At this point he mostly uses the booster with its tray. But whether the booster is being used with the tray or without the tray at the kitchen table, he and all children should be supervised while in the booster. Also it is important that the booster be installed to a chair with a seat that is wider than the seat of the booster.Another thing I will commment on is the portability of this booster. While we have never left the house with it, I have moved it to another chair once and packed it up with the intent of taking it out once. It folds up nicely and installs pretty easily on the next chair. The compartment on the back which is designed to hold a small item or 2 really isn't very helpful, as the door to the compartment pops open easily. But I am not going to down-grade the product based on that feature, because I didn't buy it for that feature. (I like the "Tiny Diner" for use at restaurants, by the way. I don't want to lug around a booster chair!)Finally, in hindsite it might have been nice to purchase a good booster with the padding on the back of the seat, because if my child is upset, like when I try to brush his teeth while he is in the seat, he tends to throw his head back and hit the back of our dining chair. However, I am also not going to down-grade the booster on that aspect, because I knew what I was getting when I chose this seat and I liked the idea of no padding because I thought it would be easier to clean. I had no idea, at the time, that throwing his head back would be an issue and I hope he outgrows that habit soon!So, all in all, I think this is a good booster and I am very pleased with this purchase. I paid $19.99 for it and if you can get it cheaper, all the better! | 45 stars

Not the best, but will do the trick
A little uncomfortable to reach inside, and not much space. Best suited for very short trips. But beats the looks of any other bag. | 23 stars

Shower no good
I bought this tub thinking the shower item would be great as we did not have a sprayer on our kitchen sink. The problem is it has very little pressure so it does an inefficient job at rinsing. Our daughter HATES the sling and wouldn't sit in it as a newborn...at 6 months, she still does not like it so we haven't used it. We have bathed her in a $3 dishpan and it has been sufficient. Save your money on this one. | 01 star

Absolute Must
When I went to register for my twins my mom suggested the playtex nurser because she had actually used them with me! I figured hey if they have been around that long they must be good well boy was I glad I got these! It is so easy now that they have the drop ins! My twin boys love these bottles as do I! | 45 stars

Great product, deceiving pictures!
I love this product, it has space for every diapering need. My only complain is that the second picture shown for this product is NOT what you receive! This diaper depot will not accommodate a wipes warmer! That was the sole reason I purchased this product--to have a place (other than on the changing table itself) to put my warmer. Because of the misleading picture, my wipes warmer is not being used! | 23 stars

Spoils my little boy!
While probably not a necessary item, I do think my son enjoys it! This warmer is very easy to use. You just plug it in and put the wipes inside. The directions say you can add water if needed but when I did it made the bottom wipes soggy. In my experience you don't need to add water and it works great! It has definitely spoiled my little guy! When we're out and about and I have to use cold wipes from his diaper bag he flinches a little bit :) | 45 stars

Holds lots
A lot of reviews on here say this hammock doesn't hold that many toys, but I have about 40-50 medium/regular sized stuffed animals hanging in this thing and it has done great. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because of the way they give you to hang it up. It is one of those screw hooks and they leave huge holes in your wall when you take it out. | 34 stars

Easy to remove from the crib
Love this. I dont' have to keep washing the crib sheet. This makes it easier to keep my baby's bed clean. | 45 stars

Couldn't have done without it
I would recommend this steamer for anyone who plans on using bottles, breast pump and or pacifiers. Since I was nursing i didn't buy a lot of bottles and hated to run the dishwasher for 3 or 4 bottles. But when you need them, you need them and this steamer was awesome. Just load the bottles, etc and water and zap in the microwave and in a matter of 5 minutes or so they're ready to go. I would list this as a must have and have recommended it to a couple of friends who have tried it and feel the same way! | 45 stars

Baby loves it!

Such a handy piece of baby gear!
Wow, what a great little chair. I have to admit, I haven't bought a lot of "baby gear". However, the Me Too chair is one of two items that I can say are completely worth the money (the other being a comfortable, well-made baby carrier!). This chair is so portable and easy to use. We take it everywhere! We always get comments on it everywhere we go. This is worth the extra 10 bucks over so-called portable chairs you can buy in the store.There is beauty in simplicity, and this chair really lives up to that. You won't be dissapointed! | 45 stars

Love it
I use this gate to keep my dogs in my kitchen/ dining area. This gate gives a decorative feel. The other gates i had put dents and chips in my paint on the walls. It is easy to install and so much easier to use. I will be getting another for a different entrance. | 45 stars

Hate it, not ideal for baby boy.
My son is 23 months, he hates this potty as well as I do. It pinches his private part. The little cup in the front that is supposed to act as a barrier when they pee is too close. I tried tucking it in there but it hurts him. Buying a new potty seat this one isn't worth it and he hates it and says no when I want to sit him in it. | 01 star
|
Very Happy
Finally a product that does the trick. It can't be found in the stores and it took me a while to find a gate for a larger than doorway size. It is sturdy, slightly higher than others,is easy to move, and attractive. Easy to put together. Love it! Great for small to medium dogs. The bars are metal so they cannot be chewed away as with wooden slats. LOVE IT! | 45 stars

Best Potty Seat
We've got a couple seats, this is by far the best. It fits any size/shape toilet seat!!!!!!! It works wonderful with the Bjorn stool, my little guy is able to get up on the potty by himself and sit comfortable while reading his potty books while trying to be potty trained (2years). Must have. | 45 stars

Perfect Playmat!!! Love it!
I was really having a hard time finding a playmat that had everything I wanted it to have and lots of color. Most of them had few toys and were colorful or a decent number of toys and were very plain. I bought this mat thinking it looked alright in the pictures and I am SO GLAD I DID! It is wonderful! The toys are adorable and my daughter (3 1/2 months) loves them - she very quickly figured out how to kick the music pad to make it play and the mirror is a perfect addition! I love that the mirror is adjustable so you can move it up to the criss cross when they are on their back or to the floor when on their tummies. The elephant's ears and butterfly's wings are crinkly and the zebra has velvet hair. She's at an age where she loves to grab at things so those were perfect for tummy time!Also she has had a few diaper accidents on this mat, but it spots cleans very easily! | 45 stars

Great idea; poor execution
I used this toy because it was something easy to travel with. We were taking the baby on a week-long trip and wanted to make sure to have a toy that would keep him entertained. The toy was definitely amusing to him. He loved the colors and the toys that dangled from the bar. It was compact enough and lightweight enough that I could throw it in the suitcase. But like many other readers have described, there's nothing to hold the bar in place. The bar and the plastic piece easily pop out. The purpose of the toy was to entertain my son safely while I gathered needed items for the day. Unfortunately, I felt like with this toy, it was inappropriate to have the baby out of my sight for even seconds.I wanted to love this toy, but I just didn't. | 12 stars

Great!
Our baby was born a bit early and these diapers were too big for him when he was first born (they don't make a preemie size). The "other" diapers gave him diaper rash, but when he was big enough to switch to these, his diaper rash went away. We haven't had any trouble with them leaking like another reviewer did.I just wish they made a slightly smaller size.Rebecca. | 45 stars

Cute, but that's about it
That's right-- it's cute to look at for a little boy, which is why we put it on our registry. Well, our son has been using it since about 4.5 months. Not much fun as a stationary entertainer-- not enough for baby to do, and many of the toys are repetitive. So, we thought, maybe better once he gets mobile? No, not any better at all. Still kind of boring, rough plastic edges (scratch your child and your hardwood floors), and forget about rolling on carpet at all-- that requires monumental effort, even from an adult. The stationary "jump" setting is also a joke; we own a FP Jumperoo and when we put my son in here to jump, I kid you not, he looked at us like "you have got to be kidding me." Given all these factors, I think there are much better walkers/activity centers on the market-- buy something else. For the price, this walker/entertainer is a very poor value. | 12 stars

Works well
I've been using the Pampers for several months now. We didn't feel like paying the big bucks for the chlorine-free diapers anymore. These work well, seem to fit nicely and absorb well. I tried the Luvs, but found them too perfumed and they seemed flimsy overall and saggy when wet compared to the Pampers. I didn't give the Pampers a 5 star rating because when they're really wet in the morning, they can squish and get my sons PJ's damp, or even wet while I'm carrying him down for his diaper change. Other than that though, they work pretty good. 4 stars. | 34 stars

Baby's favorite nuk
These latex (brown material) nuks are our baby's preferred pacifier, and they've become very difficult to find in local stores. It seems everyone is switching over to the clear silicone, but my baby just doesn't like that material. The price is great! The only potential drawback for others might be the assorted colors. I ordered 2 and received a white and a purple, just fine for my baby girl. Love this Nuk and the peace it provides! | 45 stars

Do Not Dry in the Dryer
The mattress has excellent quilting and padding; however, it cannot be dried in the dryer on a LOW setting. Would recommend washing; then hang to air dry. If you have a dryer with an air dry setting use that. Washed and hung the mattress cover then air dried; when almost completely dried; placed it in my dryer on the air setting which dried it perfectly. For my own personal information,once dried, I set my dryer setting to low heat and immediately you could smell the vinyl backing. When I removed the mattress cover after a few SECONDS there was a tiny scorched area on the end of the mattress cover. | 34 stars

Wonderful
Who knew something so simple is all they really need to be entertained. When my daughter was an infant she loved the red white and black, it is truly a creepy mezmorizing thing for infants! I have bought this as a baby shower gift ever since. I know it looks far to simple and when my mom gave it to me and I was putting it together I could not stop making fun of it!! But turned out my daugheter loved it! At 1.5 months I would but her in her bouncy seat, with the vibration off, and attach the mobile to the side, and she would stair at all the pictures forever - 30 minutes plus! After I was done with it, my sisters best friend had a baby that would screem whenever he entered the crib, never even giving it a chance, I let her borrow my mobile, as my daughter had grown out of it, and she loved it! Says it worked likea charm for both of her sons! It's a nice feeling to know that you have found something that your baby truly likes and is stimulated by at such a young age. It was the first thing that triggered that response from her! It was really neat to watch! | 45 stars

Love it!

She loves it!
My daughter was 19 months when I bought this. She has had it for almost a month and loves it! I set it next to the toilet so she goes in with me and we sit down and read potty books. It is sturdy and isn't going to flip over. I also love that when we really start to get serious about toilet training we can take the ring with us in the diaper bag so she has it when we use public restrooms. I had this one for my boys also and loved it so much that I bought it again 7 years later! | 45 stars

Not Satisfied
I was very excited to receive the Armoire this past weekend. However, after opening the package we found a crack on one of the pieces. I called Strokcraft directly to see what the alternatives were for this type of issue. The only way to compensate for the issue was replacement of the part. The rep indicated that the delivery of the new part can take anywhere from 3-4 weeks. With the baby coming in within a week or so, who has the time to wait. The product is what you pay for. | 12 stars

Bunnykins
I had a Bunnykins set like this as a child and loved that bowl. I used it until it finally broke when I was away at college. I just bought this set for by best friend's 3 year old as a birthday gift. It makes for a nice gift and for me it was something sentimental to pass along. | 45 stars

I'd Recommend it!
This gate didn't actually have any reviews when I bought it, so I hesitated. But, I have been very pleased. Pros- it actually doesn't look bad and seems very sturdy. It is fairly easy to open and can be done with one hand. It is complicated enough that I don't think our one year old will be able to get though. The con would be that my husband did not feel it was the easiest to install even though the directions were clear. But, this may be because we did not have studs in the walls that were equal on each side. Overall, I think if you are looking for a wide gate this is a great option. | 34 stars

NOT SOFT!!!
These are the usual firm plastic spouts, not the soft ones, unless I got the wrong item sent?!? They are green, on my pc they almost looked blue. I should have just gotten the white 6+ month ones. These work just fine, I just have them already. The white soft ones are nice, but they stain. I always see people complaining about avent leaking, I haven't found a sippy cup that doesn't ever leak, these are the best so far. Most of the others are impossible to clean because they have so many darn pieces, this has two pieces that come apart & clean very easily. They just need to change the title of the product! | 34 stars

Cute but not as necessary
The boppy was one of the few things I bought for myself because I thought it was an absolute necessity to breast feed. The slipcover comes off easy and washes well. The size fits a small to average size - was a little difficult the first few days after birth when I was still pretty round. As cute as it is, it rarely gets used. It was too small for my newborn and always required a blanket tucked under her head. Although ok for position for cradle hold me baby completely slid off when in the football hold. Regular pillows are much more mold-able to the need of the moment. | 23 stars

Love it!
We bought some extra animals to hang on this. I don't like to listen to the music, but the mirror is great and my son loves the toys. Easy to take with you... | 45 stars

My son doesn't go to sleep without it.
My son's Grandma got this for him for Christmas when he was six months old and we have used it almost nightly ever since. Our routine is that I press play and sit down in the rocking chair and rock my son to the music until he's almost asleep and then I lay him in his crib and press it one more time and it plays until he's asleep. He now knows automatically when I turn it on that it is time for bed and doesn't fight going to sleep. One of the best things about this is the multiple volume settings. There must be 20 of them, and I can have it on more loudly when I rock him and then turn it down easily to a background noise setting before I leave the room. I can turn it on even more softly if I have to go into his room in the middle of the night. I haven't had the problems with going through the batteries like everyone else has because most of the time I turn the picture off and just have it play the music. I have used the scrolling picture setting a couple of times to distract him from crying on nights when he has absolutely refused to settle down at all and it has worked OK but for the most part, since he snuggles with me to get relaxed as part of our routine, I haven't needed it. I know that some mornings he will turn it on by himself and watch the screen for a few minutes before making much noise so it has probably allowed me a bit of extra sleep along the way too. I did have some trouble with it initially because he kept accidentally hitting the play button in his sleep and waking himself up, but I moved it to the far end of his crib and it hasn't been a problem since. I highly recommend this item as it has been very helpful in our establishing a peaceful bedtime routine. The only thing about this that keeps it from being perfect is that I wish that this came with a remote because I know if I could turn it on from my bedroom at 3 am when my son woke up, he would go right back to sleep and I wouldn't have to get up:0). All in all this is a great item and I highly recommend it. | 45 stars

Not what is in the picture
I purchased this gate online because the only ones like this I could find locally had the beige plastic top, and I wanted one that was white. This arrived in a box showing the white top, however the bar across the top was beige. NOT HAPPY. | 01 star

My son's sleep aid for more than a year
We got this as a mobile to entertain my son before he could roll over, and wound up keeping it until he was around 1.5 years old. He absolutely loved it, from start to finish. The mobile was calming for him, as was the music. After he was old enough to stand and get into trouble grabbing the mobile, we removed it but kept the musical base. That base was his lullaby every night for pretty much the whole time.The mobile slowly rotates when music is playing. The base is bulky, but attaches safely onto the rail of your crib with a (non-marring) screw-in pressure clamp. The mobile plays several different songs, but my son always wanted the same one.Pro:+ my son loved it! as a mobile when he was very young, and as a lullaby music box when he got older+ buttons are accessible from the crib. The unit was mounted high enough he didn't hit the buttons on accident, but could turn it on to self-sooth in the middle of the night, if he wanted.+ mobile is cute, and removeable, which extended its usable life for us.Con:- the mounting hardware is a bit bulky. We had to keep the crib an extra inch or two away from the wall because of how long the large pressure screw was- the whole thing is a bit big and bulky. This in general doesn't matter, but when we wanted to bring it with us on trips or on the airplane it took up lots of room. Probably not a consideration for most people :)Overall we were very happy with this mobile. We even took the base on trips with us to help our son feel comfortable wherever we happened to be traveling to, especially at night. | 45 stars

Keep Getting Pink
We order many children's items for our boy on Amazon. Many of these don't give you an option of choosing a color. Be warned, Amazon has nothing but pink stuff laying around. Of the 10 "colors vary" things we've ordered for ourselves and friends 8 of them have been pink. No blues, greens, yellows. Just pink pink pink.The cup is great but unless you like pink I would just buy from your local BRU. | 12 stars

The only place my baby will entertain herself
I bought this for my daughter when she was 3 months old and I was totally exasperated because I couldn't put her down anywhere - she had suddenly decided she didn't like her bouncer, and whenever I put her on her play gym she would roll onto her belly and then cry. She also has bad reflux so I really wanted a way to keep her upright without having to hold her after feeds.When she first started using the Jumperoo she just enjoyed being able to sit upright, looking at the lights and listening to the music while swaying around a bit, but after about a week she figured out how to jump in it and that's when the fun really started. Watching her bounce around with a huge grin plastered on her face and her arms thrown up in the air was a total riot, and she would be happy in it for 20-30 minutes at a time which was a reeeeeally long time for her.One of the nice features of this Jumperoo is that it has different toys that will appeal to different ages to help keep their attention over time. Now at 4 months old she's more interested in chewing on the bug toy and spinning around the little alligator than she is in the music and lights. Unfortunately she has lost some interest in jumping and will now usually only stay in the Jumperoo for 10 minutes or so unless someone is sitting right there with her talking to her, but that's still better than nothing.One note is that even though my baby is on the bigger side and is the weight and length of an average 5-6 month old, she still can't quite reach the floor on the lowest setting. It isn't a big deal though - we just put a pillow under her feet and that solves the problem. | 45 stars

Great for when your baby gets too big to be swaddled
When our son started escaping from the receiving blankets we'd swaddle him in, we started using a sleep sack. It took a couple of weeks for him to adjust to it, but now he loves it and goes right to sleep when we put it on him and set him in the crib. He is 30 inches tall and about to outgrow the medium, so we have a large ready for him. He rolls all over the crib during the night and the sleep sack moves with him. It is never pulled tight or twisted. We dress him in something with long sleeves so that his arms stay warm and during the colder winter nights we added "No-Scratch Mittens" from Babies R Us to keep his hands warm. When our son was still in a bassinet, the sleep sack worked well with a sleep positioner to keep him on his back. When swaddled he would scoot out of the positioner, but with the sleep sack his arms were above the positioner and he stayed in place. I've washed both a cotton and a fleece sleep sack dozens of times and they held up great. There's no shrinking, fading or unraveling and the zippers still work perfectly. The sleep sack is the perfect way for our son to stay warm at night and I am so glad I have it. | 45 stars

TOO LOUD
This toy does it's job - it walks well on our hardwood floors, but my daughter has to really push it if we are outside in the yard on short grass. The ONLY issue I have with this toy is that there are two settings for volume, low and high, and the low is way too loud. I tried to put tape over it, but of course that's just another thing for my daughter to try to play with since the speaker is on the front panel. If anyone who has this toy has figured out a way to lower the volume, please let me know! | 23 stars

Cute But............... It pays to shop around
When I found out I was pregnant I picked out two nursery themes, Barnyard was my boy theme. We found out we were having a little girl and decided on the name Isabella long story short we started looking for a room fit for a princess. And we found it and the rooms name was Isabella (weird huh?)Anyway to my point it pays to shop around. At Jcpenney I found this bedding for 129.99. Then we were shopping one day at Babies R Us and they want 179.99 for it. I couldn't believe there was such a big price difference. Then I started looking at Jcpenney's baby catalog and found that they carry so much more in the barnyard theme than Babies R Us does.Don't get me wrong I love babies R Us but I also know that when you have a new baby coming alot of the time most families don't have alot to spend on their nurseries. I would say that 98% of my daughter's baby items has come from babies R us. And most of the time Babies R Us even beats walmart in some things. | 23 stars

Does what it is meant to do, no more and no less
Very convenient to use. We are training our baby to sleep at seven in the evening. This device has really helped us achieve our goal. Now she can sleep in peace in another room while we do our chores in living room. The picture quality is fair enough and sound volume is loud enough.Nevertheless, the static noice is disturbing.The video, when the handset is on battery power, turns off after a time. This feature is annoying. There should have been an option to override this.All in all glad we bought it. It may not be excellent but perhaps the best option available in market today. | 34 stars

Great product!
I got this item for my shower and was using it in the babys crib where he naps. The sound on it is good and I do use the ticker although you can turn it off. I have found that I don't even notice it unless it takes a while to tick. I have had the alarm go off once and I ran into the babys room and he was choking on some spit up. After that I went and bought another one for the bassinet. I don't think $100 is too much to pay for piece of mind... or $200 in my case. I have not had any flase alarms or problems with this moniter. I bought the angelcare board for under the crib mattress but just used plywood for the bassinet and both units work great. I will be buying this for every baby shower from now on. It is my favorite baby item! | 45 stars

Third seat is the charm!
We started out as most new parents with an infant carrier and that worked great until around 3 months. By then she was getting to be too heavy for me to carry. So we moved on to an infant toddler car seat...the Triumph by Evenflo. The seat was great for a few month but then as you got taller we started having problems. She would scream when it was time to buckle and we would struggle to get enough strap to get her buckled. When she turned 1 and became a forward facer we headed back to the fire department to get the seat adjusted and they advised us to get her a new one.The reasons were very clear...at 1 year old, 32 inches tall and 25 pounds she had already outgrown it and she was not safe in it. The straps either had to come out of the seat above her ears our below her shoulders and given the right accident they said she would be killed from the car seat alone. They told us that an infant to toddler seat just cannot work. They said sheer dynamics of an infant verses a toddler and rear verses forward facing makes designing a seat to do it all nearly impossible. They told us in the future we would be better off and safer with an infant seat and then spending the most money on a toddler to booster seat...something like this one.But I had learned enough from the first two seats to know we needed to play and try them out in the store before we bought them. This was the first seat we tested and she loved it. The second I put her in it she sat up tall and proud. It was easy to adjust and buckle and for the first time she actually wanted to get buckled!The shoulder straps and buckle can both be adjusted rather easily. And it is easily secured with either the LATCH system or with the regular seatbelt. The cup holder is a great feature and she loves having her cup at her finger tips. She also loves the arm rests! It is so cute to look back to see her little legs crossed and her arm propped on that arm rest as she looks out the window...it's one of those priceless kind of moments.The only complaints I have is that the recline is pretty much useless. Once the fire department secured that thing it was NOT reclining. Once they get it tight enough to be safe then there is no real room left for it to slide and recline. So that is kind of disappointing because her poor little head falls forward when she falls asleep. Also we had a couple of sippy cup accidents and the cover needed washed...good luck getting it loose! The thing doesn't appear to come off she was have a couple of nice stains that I can't get to budge with just spot cleaning. But other than that it is a great seat and she loves it...so much so that we bought one for each grandma to have in her car! | 45 stars

Outstanding Quality and Performance
I purchased this gate in order to limit access to an area by our 5 dogs, 3 of which are larger, the largest being a boxer, and this gate has worked flawlessly. I purchased the light gray, which for some reason is more expensive, but the room I bought it for is in blue colors and I just thought it would work best. The gate was very easy to install - I highly recommend that you watch the video which is located in the pictures at the top of the listing that will quickly guide you through installation. The metal was thicker and of a higher quality than I expected, and definitely the best of all the gates I have purchased in the past with the possible exception of a 5 piece wooden gate set that is only about 18 inches high - used to corral our pugs. We do not have human children (!) so I can't speak to the functionality with kids, but with our 4 legged 'kids' I can highly recommend this product. I love how the gate will open in either direction, and how it stays open if you open it fully (it kinda 'clicks' in place) but if only opened partially it closes itself. It is so easy to open as well. I can't think of a single negative thing to say with this product, and that is really saying something. It's nice looking, well made, functions well and a flexible design. What more can you get from any product? This exceeds my expectations and therefor gets a 5 star rating. | 45 stars

add the Baby's Wind Chimes Kick Toy
We just received this gym for our 5 week old daughter. We went out and bought the Baby's Wind Chimes Kick Toy that can attach to the mat since our daughter loves to listen to music. Immediately, she started to kick the chimes and spends a half an hour playing on the mat giving us much needed time to eat, shower, wash, etc.The animals are cute and colorful. She is just starting to investigate them with her hands. The mirror is a bit distorted but she still enjoys looking at herself | 45 stars

Love it!
I love this product, so does my 10 month old son. Everytime I bring this product out someone asks me what it is and thinks it is great! Some people think it is too messy, but when doesn't an eating baby make a mess. When I give my son a piece of fruit without the safe feeder he makes more mess than with it. I read that some babies don't like this product because they don't like sucking on mesh. Any baby that I have ever come across doesn't seem to mind that. My two kids have always loved sucking on blankets, animals, shirts, etc. Now they can suck on something that tastes good. I wish they had this product when my 6 year old was a baby. | 45 stars

Great Seat!
This has been a wonderful seat for us. We bought it in June 2005 when our son was six months old. He is still in it and will be for a while, since he is only 27lbs. He loves to ride in it because it seems so comfy. The straps are easy for me to adjust, both loosening and tightening. The seat (after a year and a half) is still in great condition. No complaints here! Our next child (due in March) will probably have the same covertable carseat. | 45 stars

Basic is Best
I wanted a cheap ring sling for my infant. I know ring slings can typically be used for a long time, from infancy to toddlerhood, so I was excited to see one so cheap.It is awesome quality. Tough fabric, nice solid rings, appropriate padding and the pattern was beautiful.My only gripe however, is actually a pretty big one. Because the sling builds in a pouch, it makes it less ideal for infants. The pouch is too big for my 8lb, 1 month old daughter. Other slings you can tighten, but because of the constructed padding, you can't in this one. I think it'll be a great product when she gets a little bigger, but right now she kind of gets lost in the pouch. Sometimes the more basic construction is better. | 23 stars

So glad we purchased the Traveling Toddler Car Seat Travel Accessory!
This was the best [...] we spent for our trip! I tested it out the day before we were supposed to fly out on our Britax Marathon and it worked great! We had absolutely no problems while traveling and we really saved our backs with this! I read other reviews that say the straps are loose -- You have to make the LATCH and tether straps as tight as possible around your carry on luggage otherwise it will be loose but we had no problem getting this set up for our almost 3 year old who weighs approx 34 lbs. She was sleeping in her chair when we landed and luckly we had a bulkhead seat and were able to connect the acccessory right in the front of the aircraft without waking her up. This accessory was much cheaper than all of the other items I considered buying for our trip and we were very VERY pleased with our purchase. | 45 stars

Great doggie poop bags
A friend with small children & a dog turned me on to this product. Dog poop stinks & the scented doggie bags sold in pet stores are EXPENSIVE. These are perfect for cost & smell. My doggie walker came without her own bags once so she used the Sassy Sack. Now her bags are Sassy Sacks. | 45 stars

Poor Quality Product...Pick a different model!

Great pillow.
We got this while I was about 5 months pregnant a little over a month ago and I've used it every night since. I even took it with us on vacation (a road trip), and it was essential while staying in budget motels.The video review which stated that the seem cut into her neck seems a little out there to me as I definitely do not have this problem, but the material is definitely NOT a high thread-count and if you're used to that, and have sensitive skin, it may bother you a bit. I'm fine with it.That said, I wonder if they didn't skimp on the stuffing in mine, because it is definitely not as full looking as the pictures, or that video review, and I worry that this pillow will not keep up over a long period, and will get all bunchy. I have to fluff it most days to get it even. I wish it had been stuffed a bit fuller.However, I usually prefer a lower pillow, as I get kinks in my neck if the pillow pushes my head up too high, and I was concerned that this pillow would do that. Maybe it's not as fully stuffed as it could be, but as a head pillow, it's perfect. The different shapes also let me use it in many different positions comfortably.It DOES take up a ton of space, on vacation my husband and I stayed in a queen bed, and he had almost no space to sleep. Poor baby. At home however we have a King, and the pillow still leaves us tons of space. Definitely a consideration.The thread count, lack of complete stuffing, and space-hogginess of this pillow give it a 4 star, otherwise, it's an amazing pillow which helps keep me on my side and prevents me rolling onto my back or stomach. Great purchase.edit: Now that it's June (in Louisiana) and i'm entering my 7th month I am VERY hot at night with this pillow. Our mattress topper also adds heat, and sometimes i'll wake up covered in sweat. I'm usually warmer at night anyways, but I do wish that this didn't heat me up so much. Still 4 stars though. | 34 stars

Garbage
I purchased these because we have a bed that is low to the ground and drop-down rails are too tall for our bed. I thought it would be handy to be able to store them under the bed instead and keep them out of site. It would be great if they actually worked.Flimsy construction, these rails do not slide easily in and out - they get stuck and it is a struggle to get them in our out every time, which is also noisy! They stick and don't slide. There is also a gap between the bed and rail, even if you tighten them. Struggling with them is also very noisy, which is not helpful when there is a baby sleeping in the bed. | 01 star

Great for kids learning to jump
My 2.5 yr olds daughter was having trouble jumping so I purchased this trampoline as per her therapists request. She has since began almost jumping. When kids come over and see this toy, they immeidately run to it! I would say its a hit. It was close to impossible to put together though. My husband was cursing and had robe burns on his hands. I would say 2 people need to put it together the entire time. Overall a good toy! | 34 stars

Waste of Money
We're working on our second unit now. Both of them eat up the batteries like there's no tomorrow. The sound is terrible, even at a lower volume. The second unit that we got worked for about a day or two and now just shows an error message when you press play. My husband and I have had it! It's too bad Babies 'R' Us doesn't sell boom boxes. That is what we're going to use instead of this. What a shame and a waste of money. | 01 star

I love it!!!!!
I previously had the Baby's Quiet Sounds (Summer infant care) monitor but returned it b/c the reception started out ok and then got progressively worse. As soon as I plugged in this monitor the picture quality was crystal clear AND the sound monitor is very sensitive. If you are going to be far away from the signal then you'll have to plug it into the wall to boost the signal, but it still works very well.I'm very pleased and would recommend buying one the sooner the better!! | 45 stars

Too Tall...even for my 8 month old
This walker is WAY too high for pre-walkers to use. My daughter is 8 months old and (IMHO) should be able to easily touch by now, but with this walker she is still a good few inches from touching her feet flat to the floor. I don't understand this product as it is supposed to be adjustable, but for whom, 1 to 2 year olds? I certainly hope she is walking by that time. As for the battery/sound issues others have report, I haven't experience any of that. All the lights and sounds work fine...probably due to lack of use though. If you've got a small baby and want to get their legs strong for walking, I would recommend buying something else. | 01 star

Great buy
Believe it or not, picking a tub was one of the hardest choices. It seemed like they were all too big, or too small, or the leaked, or they would take forever to dry. This tub is just perfect. My baby loved the "hammock" when she was a newborn and so did I. It kept her in enough water to keep her warm yet gave me an extra hand in keeping a slippery baby above water : ). She loved to hang both legs over the sides and kick her little legs. It was so relaxing for her that this got to be our evening ritual to get her to sleep.Now that she's a little older, it works great without the sling too. It's small enough to fit under my changing table when dry and the mesh is nice for drying time. | 45 stars

Love it
Subscribe and Save is the way to go with diapers. I had three diapers left from last month's shipment when this month's showed up. It is so worth not stressing over carrying a huge diaper box to your car while carrying a baby. And subscribe and save is considerably less expensive than ANYWHERE else for diapers. Great job Amazon! | 45 stars

Practical and Subtle
This is great when you don' want a huge chair in the middle of your room. It is very subtle and tucks away when not in use. Also, ou baby feels like she is part of the family since she actually sits at the table with us and at our level. Our baby loves it and it cleans very easily both in the dishwater and with a sponge. Also, it is one of the most affordable out there. Best value for the $$$$ without doubt.Our baby does pop off the top tray, but it is no big deal. It just keeps her entertained at the table. | 45 stars

To India and back
We bought this stroller to pick up our adopted 3 year old twins from India. We needed a lightweight stroller but one that would hold up to tough treatment. This stroller made it through checked baggage to and within India, and has handled many trips with our twins. I see others have had problems with quality, but we were lucky and have had absolutely no issues. | 34 stars

fresh foods and convenience
This is an incredibly useful product. We use it with our 7 month old, and he can feed himself fresh fruit and vegetables. Apples and pears work best. Carrots give him something to chew on, but he doesn't get very far. Bananas are his favorite, though they are the messiest and hardest to clean up--the riper the banana the easier it is to clean the mesh. The nicest part is that he feeds himself! One tip: we use a pacifier clip to keep him from throwing it on the floor. | 45 stars

Goes everywhere!
This is a required item to safely bathe your baby....ask the many parents who tragically tried to bathe Junior in the tub or the sink, only to have a soapy baby slip out of their hands and hit its head or worse. Fits over standard sinks or can be placed in the bathtub for easy use. Also light and easy to carry for trips. I camp a lot and this is ideal for bathing the small ones. | 45 stars

Not really a shower, too...
The tub has a spray attachment that barely works. It does not really squirt out. The water just falls out about two inches. It also doesn't register the temp effectively. You would do better just rinsing with your hand or, even better, a squirt bottle. Not worth it if you are buying for the shower feature. | 01 star

Great Doubler, Great Price!
I have been using these doublers for the past three years with my kids and love them. They have a good absorbency and hold well in the diapers. I never have a problem with them shifting.

Totally Satisfied Consumer !!
Britax Marathon was the easy chioce for me. Excellent growth up to 49"-65 lbs as a 5-point harness. The seat was extremely easy to install with the latch system and versa tether strap.I especailly liked the head support on the side which is reassuring for side impacts. The marathon is well padded and my 7 month old Jack looks so comfy in his seat that I wanted to jump in there with him.There are better prices online as one amazon consumer stated in her review online about traveling tikes.com. They are selling the same marathon at $219.99 shipping and tax included. They had a great selection of patterns to choose from which made it easy for me to make my decision.Im one totally satisfied consumer! | 45 stars

A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIFT
I researched all of the different types of Moses Baskets and prices. Tadpoles, BY FAR, had baskets of the most quality & beauty. I filled the basket with a memory book, blanket and outfit that matched. As it was too large to wrap with ordinary wrapping paper, I went to the craft store for the pink cellophane wrap that is used for Easter Baskets. You were able to see the basket through it, but it still looked like it was beautifully wrapped! I pulled the four edges of the wrap together at the top & secured them with a pink child's hair elastic. Then I chose a pink & floral ribbon to tie around it. This basket looked like a MILLION BUCKS! It even smells good, as it is woven from palm leaves. This basket comes in GREEN PINK TOILE, as well & is every bit as beautiful. It comes with a little pillow and fleece blanket with a "companion pattern" gingham trim. Couldn't be happier with this item that I purchased for a great price (same basket was more expensive on all of the other web sites.) PLUS FREE SHIPPING! Can't beat it with a stick!Susicatrin~~Boston, Ma | 45 stars

We heart this shopping cart cover!
My husband and I purchased this shopping cart cover and it has made shopping and dining so much easier for us. This cart cover is high quality and the perfect size. We have used it on shopping carts, restaurant high chairs, and the baby swing at the park. My son loves it because he feels secure in it and you can attach his toys to it. It does come with a couple of toys already that he likes to chew on as well. The colors are a little different than it shows online. The brown is pretty accurate, it has a hint of purple in it, and the green is, well, very green! I don't think it's ugly at all. Just expect the colors to be a little different. This cover is a great buy and you get the shipping for free. Not much else you can ask for! | 45 stars
