I was going to get the "spindle" changing table from POttery Barn Kids but found this one, at about 1/3rd of the price. This one is even better b/c of the rail that goes around the actual changing area.. i do recommend a contoured changing pad with a comfy cover. i have attached a crib mobile to this table to keep katie happy during diaper time. this changing table looks good in her room, i also bought the Jenny Lind crib. i did get the baskets from PBK to store stuff neatly on the shelves. The only complaint that i have is that the shelves are basically hard cardboard, but dont let that discourage you b/c they really are sturdy and as i mentioned i've got baskets on the shelves so you really dont notice. | 1positive

We love this bath tub. My baby is 12 months and we still use it everyday!! It's a good return on the money. I love that he can sit while I give him a bath, he loves splashing in the water and I don't have to worry about him slipping in the big tub. Also you save a lot of water, since you're not filling the big tub every day.The only issue I had is that I had a big baby so when he was a newborn I couldn't use the hammock how is supposed to be used, my baby's back would be laying on the plastic bump, which I didn't liked. Since we already paid for this, we gave it a try, we just secured the hammock from one side and lay our baby in a seating position, and it worked.I was very happy with this buy since I didn't have to paid for a newborn tub and then a bigger tub. | 1positive

Almost bought a mattress, for my Graco Pack N Play, tried this instead and it really works well with the Heavenly Soft Chenille Porta-Crib sheet over it, very comfy and a good solution, also easy to store when the babies leave. | 1positive

North States Supergate Top-Notch Gate is fantastic. Received the product in two days with Amazon Prime account, free shipping, and there was no damage at all. I bought it to keep my two little dogs in the kitchen while out shopping and running errands so they would not have any accidents on the carpet in the house. It is very easy to use and fits the door opening perfectly, but is adjustable to much larger openings. | 1positive

It was so disgusting and messy...and horrible to clean I should not have bought this and would never recommend it. | 0negative

So worth the price, fantastic quality, so much more practical than a high chair, easy to store and transport, secure, sturdy and safe, built to last, washes beautifully, comfortable, versatile, allows baby to feel a total part of the family at the table. Absolutely love it! | 1positive

Highly recommended- easy to assemble and disassemble. Exactly what we were looking for...durable, handy diaper stacker, and changing table and very cute! The perfect pack 'n play and for a GREAT price!!! | 1positive

I thought the monitor worked really well. I picked this one out because I loved the glow light feature. It is so much better to use the low light during nighttime feedings....but the light bulb in the receiver is not replaceable :( I have only used it for 6months and it burned out on me already. It goes off after 15 minutes and the directions say it is long lasting. Well, not long enough and I am contacting the comopany for the warranty. hopefully they will fix it. | 1positive

Says on box that it works with platform beds...oh really?! Yeah it might install to a platform bed, but it doesnt tell you until you get to the VERY end of the instructions that it wont fold down for a platform bed! Add to that how hard they are to build and install and that if you want to actually make you kids bed youre out of luck! Lift the mattress and the thing falls off or you instead cant tuck in the fitted sheets or anything for that matter! what a terrible product! | 0negative

This was a gift that was purchased for a friend's baby shower and the box the bouncer came in was completely destroyed. Unacceptable. Then, they tried to tape it all up to cover the ripped box-so now the gift looks even more hideous. Absolutely annoyed. | 0negative

Just what the wife wanted, great in a van with a flat floor. Waterproof is a great plus. | 1positive

My son was in the NICU when he was born and had grown accustomed to the bottle, and didn't want to take the time to latch on properly. I was extremely sore, and experienced cracking and bleeding. My dear, sweet husband bought these, and almost immediately I felt relief from the soreness because of the nursing bra . These allowed my nipples to heal and also drew them out which helped my son to latch on properly. I can honestly say these (and my being stubborn) saved me from stopping breastfeeding. The only drawback to these is that I cannot find additional inserts, and the pack only comes with two sets. I don't think the inserts last me through future children should I need these again. | 1positive

The bag is a nice quality bag but the picture of how the chair actually fits in the bag is misleading. The curved hooks of the chair actually sticks out on either side of the bag. The bag does not fully enclose the chair like it is pictured. It does make it cumbersome to use because if you don't ensure the screws are locked, the sides will slide out if the bag is tilted or turned upside down. I've contacted Handysitt by email to enquire about this but have not yet received a response. | 0negative

I love my Moby Wrap. It's perfect for taking an infant grocery shopping (much easier than lugging the carseat carrier around.) I notice my daughter calms right down when I put her in it and rock her. It was a little intimidating to tie at first, but becomes familiar real soon. | 1positive

I bought this after my second child was born to protect our car's seats from the child seat. I have the original thin Prince Lionheart from my first child and love it. This one is so bulky with the built in lip that it got in the way of anyone having to sit next to it in the car. Also, the two part design causes so many problems as it constantly comes undone causing the top portion to slip down (thus defeating the purpose of protecting the seat).It does catch spills, but the original thin seat saver does too and actually does a better job. I have just recently moved the original one under my younger child and discarded this one altogether. I will look for something else to put under my older child's seat.I do not recommend this product. | 0negative

I purchased the Lambs & Ivy Hamper as a baby shower gift from the recipients on-line gift registry. Cute fabric and matching bedding to go with the hamper. Problem I ran into though, was that the box the hamper was shipped in was the same original box the hamper would be in if purchased from a store. The box was thin and not suited for shipping. The box had been damaged as if something had speared the box, leaving a hole in the fabric of the hamper. I called the company to report the damage and was told that the item was no longer available and I could keep it or return it for a full refund. I liked the product but was disappointed in the company selling the product.Lambs & Ivy Sports USA Hamper | 0negative

We received this as a gift... I wish I had read all the reviews before installing it! Unfortunately it worked perfectly and our daughter LOVED it for 2 months (sang to it every time we turned it on) until it suddenly stopped working. After trying two sets of new batteries, I sent an email to customer service about it. No response. Then I called them. The lady was very nice and said all I needed to do was send them the base back and they would send out a new one right away. So I paid the $14 to ship it Priority Mail (thinking we'd get it back faster) and then 3 days later I got a call saying it's backordered for 3 months - why didn't they tell me that when I called? By then our daughter will be at the age where they say you can't use it on the crib anymore.Don't set yourself up for the disappointment we got. Such a great concept, but they need to figure out how to improve the quality and customer service! | 0negative

I must say that this gate is definitely worth the cost. I don't have children (yet), but needed a sturdy gate for my puppy (now a year old). I needed something with a swing gate that was easy to open and close but that would not warp or lose it's sturdyness (sp). My dog is now a year old and a healthy 75 pounds. I can't tell you how many times she has jumped up on the gate trying to knock it down but couldn't. I plan on keeping this gate and probably buying more of them when we have children. It definitely helps to put my mind at ease to know that when I'm not at home, my dog is safe and sound and NOT getting into trouble. | 1positive

When looking for gliders I was shocked at the cost most of them sell for. I even considered not getting one until my mother mentioned she couldn't have survived without hers. I found this on Amazon & thought it was worth the risk to try it, even though it's much cheaper than others we've seen. I was remarking today that I couldn't live without this glider so I decided to write a review! It does exactly what I need, easy to feed baby with the boppy & it's comfortable to sit in. I don't use the ottoman as much as I expected but it's nice to have there. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. | 1positive

While the concept of this device is great, and it works quite well, it really isn't a necessary addition to the baby arsenal. If you feel inundated with baby stuff, you can leave this off the shopping list. A bowl of warm water works just fine. | 0negative

I bought two playmats for my daughter, this one being the least expensive. I thoroughly enjoyed this mat. Right price and keeps young babies easily entertained.Pros: Different textures on mat, soft crinkles in the leaf and elephant ear. Tiger ear soft pull tab. The mirror is nice to keep baby interested during those tough months. The animals hang anywhere and are soft and friendly. The elephant vibrates which my daughter, one year, still enjoys. Fun mat colors. The rainbows un-snap and can be folded down, SUPER nice for the days she just wanted to roll on the mat or for easy storage. (A lot of other mats do not have this feature.) Soft classical music with lights on the flowers triggered by pushing soft button on mat and soft squeak button hidden on mat good for cause and effect learning.Cons: as previously posted the mat is very thin, as are all playmats available. We simply put some alphabet foam pads or a blanket under and voila! The animals are for younger children, as our daughter reached 6months and up she preferred the Fischer Price rainforest playmat that had more hard toys that spun, twisted, or rattled. This is for quite play I would say birth to 6 months. After that you may want to invest either in more toys to hang or transitional pieces for older babies and their growing brains.Would recommend. | 1positive

When our son outgrew the infant bath we had for him, I got one of these. He started to enjoy bath time a lot more sometime after that.As far as inflation goes, as someone who's helped inflate a queen-size air mattress by mouth, I can say that this wasn't too bad. It took a few minutes, but once it was done, that was it until it had to be packed for a trip or for moving.We made one trip while he was using it, and took it with us. It made bath time at the hotel a *lot* easier than it would have been otherwise. It also eased the transition into a new bathroom in a new house when we moved.Our son wasn't inclined to let us use the feature that makes hair-washing easier, so I can't comment on the effectiveness of that, but other than that, we got full use out of this tub until he grew just so big that there wasn't enough room for him in it. The suction cup for hanging it on the wall between baths is great (and also very helpful when we have guests sharing the bathroom with him). Draining the tub can be a little tricky, but eventually there's enough water out to be able to dump it over easily and then hang it up until the next bathtime.This is an excellent tub for when the infant tub is outgrown but the bathtub is still much too large. | 1positive

I purchased two "metoo" chairs for my twin girls. Clearly neither Phil or Ted are engineers. THE CLAMPS SUCK!!!! Why would you not employ standard "C Clamp" technology on this chair the fixed flat portion of the bolt results in friction with bottom of your targeted surface which makes it virtually impossible to tighten well. Standard "C" clamps employ a floating heading that sets still while you tighten the clamp. The addition of the rubber sleeves is even more dangerous since it introduces a softer cushion that easily slips. The fact that the "Lobster" has been introduced shows this chair was not the "ultimate" product. Phil, Ted, you made a pretty lousy product; what are you going to do about it?!!!!! | 0negative

Will never buy these again - my daughter has some type of allergic reaction to them. Turns her entire bottom red. Muast be something in them that can cause allergic reaction and they smell horrible and small!!! Love eco friendly products - but these just to make the cut! | 0negative

Others reviewers said that it gave you a huge nipple bump and it does. I would have looked past that had they not been see-through too. If you are purchasing these so you can go braless more often, look else where. | 0negative

These are old Avent containers. My box had a 2004 manufacture date. Avent didn't start producing the BPA-free containers until 2008. The new boxes say "BPA-free" on them and this one does not. Do not buy if you have concerns about using products with BPA. | 0negative

We found these diapers when we started looking for something a little more "Earth Friendly" and we decided to give them a try. They are great! Not only do they absorb moisture as good as the big name brand ones, but they have reduced the amount of rashes my daughter has developed. Its great to know we are using a product that is not harming the planet as much as the processed bleach diapers which are out on the market. Try them, you will love them!! | 1positive

The battery died, and it appears you can't change it. Also, it looks like water leaked into the part where it displays the temperature. It was cute and fun for the baby while it lasted, but now we need to find something else that works. | 0negative

I had a similar cot by another company that I love for my 2 and 3 year olds, and wanted another one. This one is WAY smaller than it says. My 2 year old could not comfortably fit- and my 3 year old's feet were hanging off the end. The child in the picture must be scrunched up into a tiny ball under that picture! | 0negative
|
As others have said this bottle warmer is very inconsistent. Even when using the same amount of water it is impossible to know from one time to the next what the temperature of your bottle will be. This is not great when you are trying to get the bottle to your screaming baby as quickly as possible at 3AM. Steer clear! | 0negative

The Soft Shells are fantastic - even better than the medela thera shells which are smaller and have hard backs. The soft shells have a soft rubber backing that contours to your body - much more comfortable. I have found that I use them almost every day for sensitivity - even when there is no soreness. I highly recommend this product for women who are breastfeeding or even just pumping (I'm just pumping). Get two pairs so that you can wear the other pair when you are washing and sterilizing the first. | 1positive

We registered for this tub, before doing any research. Big mistake. As a newborn, I used the sling to bathe my son. As he got bigger, I put the sling into the tub (2nd way of the 4-1 system). Bath time became a pain. My son kept sliding down, even with one hand on him at all times. He didn't really seem to enjoy it either. Finally, after reading great online reviews I bought the Eurobath. LOVE IT!!!!! From day one my son had a great time in his new (huge) tub. He fits securely into the reclined side of the tub, with no slipping. He is comfortable and there is enough water around him to keep him warm and for him to splash. We've had it over a month, I highly recommend the Eurobath over this bath tub. | 0negative

In the Baby Bjorn carrier your baby hangs by his/her crotch; this cannot be good for the childs spine! It is also uncomfortable for the parent as the child's weight is not well distributed and tugs down on the shoulders. We much prefer the ergo baby carrier; its lightweight and the child sits rather than hangs in the carrier. It can also be worn on the hip and the back, can be used until the child is 40 lbs, and comes in a wide variety of colors and styles. With my baby in this carrier her weight is distributed across my hips rather than from my shoulders and I can wear her for longer periods of time because we are both more comfortable. I wouldn't recommend the baby bjorn, the only thing it was good for was helping me get an initial feel for how much I would like to wear our baby. | 0negative

This keepsake got my attention as soon as I saw the picture. At first I hesitated on adding it to my registry because it is really hard to judge the quality of something without seeing it "in person". Well, I was impressed! I received it at my shower and not only was I in awe, but so were ALL of my guest! In fact, I know of 7 who were going home to order them for gifts (Great for Mothers Day, BD, etc). The silver is so shiny and beautifully etched with detailed designs. The case is a wonderful cherry with glass sliding closure. The silk interior adds more sophistication to the product. Each item inside has a special place to have a date, name or both to be engraved. If you get this, you are sure to be more than pleased :) | 1positive

We used the old Diaper Champ model that is taller and more slender than this squatty new model for our first son. When our second baby came along, we bought another Diaper Champ being loyal customers. We wish the old model was still on the market because it worked much better. This squatty model may be new, but it is not improved. If anything, Baby Trends has gone backwards on this new model. The larger whole at the top is nice, but the handle is harder to turn than the old model and you have to bend down a lot more since this model isn't as tall. It also seems like there is less diaper capacity in the new model so we are emptying it more frequently. Worst of all, it doesn't contain diaper odor as well as the old model. With each turn of the handle the larger whole in the top emits a puff of stinky diaper smell into the room, which starts to stick around when you're changing as many diapers as you do with a new baby. Baby Trends: Bring back the old champ!!! The new one stinks. We are returning ours and will have to find another alternative. | 0negative

My 5 month old boy LOVES this wrap. He hated slings so I thought wearing him wasn't going to happen until I found this wrap. He absolutely loves his Moby and I am very comfortable wearing it. People always stop me to comment on how cute we look in it, too! | 1positive

We love these bottles. It really helps with gas. My only negative has to do with the fact that now that the bottles have changed to get rid of bPA (or whatever it was) they are harder to heat. We have a Avent bottle warmer and they just don't conduct heat as well. | 1positive

I bought this hat for my 6 month old and it did not fit. I'm surprised the 6-12 month size still turned out to be too small! I'll probably try the next size (12-24 months) and see if that works out better. Right now, just returned the hat. | 0negative

Perhaps it's because we're going from the very effective Pampers Swaddlers, but we've found that these leak horribly. They are not especially roomy so it may be that we're between sizes and that has something to do with it - but for now we won't be using these anymore. | 0negative

I had originally wrote a bad review for this product but after contacting the company I have a new opinion.It seems that I was OVER tightening the bottle. Here is what the rep from Avent wrote in an email:"Leaking may occur when the bottle is over tightened. When assembling the Avent reusable bottle simply screw the cap on just until you feel the cap seal with the bottle naturally. You will notice that you can turn the screw ring a little tighter, however avoid doing this as it can cause the bottle to leak. The reusable nipple has an airflow valve on the base of the nipple, and when over-tightened, the nipple base wrinkles, allowing fluid to escape."Since following their advice we have had no leaking problems!!I also like their "fast flow" nipples. Instead of making the hole larger they have 3 small holes. That way my baby can get more formula out but he still has control over the flow. Other nipples just make the hole larger so the liquid pours out so fast that it just runs all over his face and down his neck. | 1positive

If you have an infant that enjoys mental stimulation, this item is not for you. Since she was brought home my daughter has enjoyed looking about and being held so she can see all around her. She was bored to tears (literally) every time we put her in the lounger (the baby faces the ceiling.. not too exciting). I thought it was a cool concept, however, my daughter did not. She did much better in her papasan, or bouncy seat where she could nap if she wanted to, but have the option to look around and play as well. Looking up at the ceiling was not fun for my daughter. | 0negative

Do not buy this even if your life depended on it! The static and clicking noise coming from the reciever was just too much to handle. The stupid thing even cut out a number of time during the night. The only thing it is good for is a light show. But even that does not justify the cost. | 0negative

We have used pampers for our son and we love them. As a mom, extra time is limited so anything to make life easier, i chose to order off Amazon. I love it, i simply order my diapers monthly and they are at my door step within the exact time stated. The product is perfect. | 1positive

When I first discovered this, I was so excited about being able to use any bag with it and recommended it to other mothers I knew. Unfortunately, after using it for about a year, we started smelling the odors and were very disappointed. We also tried cleaning it out with bleach many times, but nothing seemed to work. Don't waste your money on it! | 0negative

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A LIGHT WEIGHT STROLLER FOR MY TWO YEAR OLD, I SAW THIS ONE AND LOVED IT, THE CUP HOLDERS FOR THE ADULTS AND KIDS ARE GREAT FEATURES. BUT SHOP AROUND, I FOUND IT AT A LARGE "SUPER CENTER" FOR 20 BUCKS LESS. SAME EVERYTHING.HOPE THIS HELPS. | 0negative

i bought this product for my 3 year old because her head would fall when she fell asleep in the carseat, well it didt work at all. The pillow is soft and pretty but not worth it at all! she uses it to play... | 0negative

We ordered this product along with a matching crib (DaVinci Kalani Convertible Baby Crib - Cherry). These appeared to be a nice middle-ground between the really cheap particle-board and cardboard dressers at $200 and the (beautiful) Amish solid wood pieces at $1400+. The crib is wonderful, and aside from scratching easily it is fantastic.This dresser, however, is another story. In addition to the solid wood frame, the drawers have particleboard frame, and the drawer bottoms are the thinnest, cheapest cardboard you can find. All of the hardware in the dresser is of poor quality, which caused numerous problems during assembly. In one case, the screws pulverized the particleboard and I needed to purchase a new screw, drill my own hole, and hope that I didn't destroy the wood in doing so.As other reviewers have mentioned, the drawers also come apart fairly often (once/month). I have been tempted to glue the drawers to decrease this frequency. My concern with that is that the cardboard is so cheap, that I'm not sure it would hold up to the gluing, and I think that might be the end of the drawers.The entire unit sways a little bit too. Tightening it only makes it worse (yikes!).Overall a big disappointment. It looks beautiful, but it won't hold up. We should have either spent less, or more on something that will really last. | 0negative

Why is it smell so much?? I just opened up the box of diapers that I got it from my baby shower, and the perfume of the diapers gave me a headache right away. The box and the description of this product didn't say anything about the scent. Think about me getting a headache just opening a box of diaper, what's going to happen to my little new born baby??? DO NOT BUY THIS DIAPER!!! Unless you like the strong perfume smell that knocks you out. I am so disappointed with Pampers. | 0negative

I was browsing on Amazon and came across these hangers, how nifty! Got them in light blue for my baby boy that's due in the Spring. His closet now looks more organized and I'm going to buy another set to separate outerwear/jackets. Love! FYI there are 2 of each age group. | 1positive

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. | 0negative

I really bought this car seat for the looks. I have it in orange and I think peg perego is the best looking car seat on the market. The other advantage to this car seat is that, aside from Graco, it seems to be the only brands that the high-end strollers are making adapters for. I will also give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it works well in the event of an accident although, thank God, we haven't had to test yet.That said, this is a very impractical car seat. Some of my complaints include the following:1. There is no head support. When my baby was newborn I had to put rolled up towels around his head to keep it supported. Even now at 10 months when he falls asleep his head falls forward and he doesn't seem comfortable.2. Doesn't recline back enough in my car (hence the head falling forward).3. The visor doesn't protect from the sun completely.4. The straps tangle easily and constantly (this one is VERY annoying).5. The straps don't seem to go well above his shoulders (probably due to all the tangles).6. This car seat is heavy, however, I haven't really compared it in weight to any other car seat. I try not to take it out of the car that often anywore (and when I used to I attached it to the stroller).7. The car seat absorbs heat. My poor baby was born in the middle of the summer and he was extremely uncomfortable in the seat on hot days. In fact, I stopped using it with the stroller on hot days because he just couldn't take it.8. Fortunately, I haven't gotten it dirty that often but the cover is a pain to take off to wash. | 0negative

We were expected our third baby, our 'last baby' when we bought this bassinet. My husband actually picked this one out beacause the wording on the package does imply that it will rock or vibrate in such a way that a soothing motion is produced like rocking. I figured it would be comparable to those vibrating bouncy seats our other babies loved.The rocking is parent powered.The music box doesn't work properly. The sound is not great but what kid toy is. I actually used the music to soothe the baby during his three hour nightly colic crying fits as I bounced, rocked, walked him. It turns off after 10 minutes, you then have to switch it to the off position, wait several minutes then turn it on again. Turning it on too quickly doesn't work. So we sit there and do the on, off, on, off, on ,off dance. All the while baby is screaming for his music.The padding was so thin and I was too afraid to use another even , only comes with one sheet(a pillow case cut down and sewn to size will work if you sew, or iron on adhesive).The wood although pretty, is very soft and easily dented. Ours even had a few cracks in it before assembly.Even when locked the bassinet tends to tip to one side if your baby wiggles or turns to his side. When our baby was a week old I put him in his bassinet, he turned on his side and then the bassinet tipped and he was nearly on his tummy with his face against the padded sides. I freaked out. We started putting rolled receiving blankets at his sides to keep him from wiggling.It is defintly a beautiful piece of furniture but a bassinet is more 'disposible'. Save your money buy a consignment shop bassinet of a cheaper one new. Spend the money on a really good convertible car seat (where safety costs a pretty penny but is worth it) that your baby can use untill he is 40 pounds(4 years old).Or a vibrating bouncy chair, that's where the baby will sleep any way!! Even a real rocking chair! Or start a college saving account.Our crib was $10 less than this bassinet, car seat $40 more, What were we thinking. | 0negative

We bought loads of Gdiapers before our baby was born. I wanted to use a diaper I could compost or flush, well, it did not work well for us, talk about leaking, and I was really (really!) disappointed and lost. I knew I did not want to use the common diapers out there and remembered seeing Seventh Gen. in BabysRus.The newborn size was way too small for our newborn. After using what we had on hand, we got both stage one and stage two. Currently my 7 week old (12 lbs) is using stage 2. We had 3 leaks and it was because it is a tad large. You may need to test a few different sizes until you find one that works best. Leaks or no leaks, we are sticking with Seventh Gen.A little tip - I bought some cloth diaper covers and also am using the cloth gdiaper covers. After I put on her seventh gen. diaper, I put on the cloth cover. This way if there is a leak, it does not get on clothing.We also love the fact that it does not have any synthetic fragrances. The natural color is great and our sensitive baby has been doing very well with them.Bottom line, if you are looking for an alternative to cloth diapers (excessive water use, not convenient etc.), these diapers are a life saver. Or if you are a cloth diaper user traveling, camping etc., these can be a good replacement for short time.One last thing, there are 2 different quantity versions of these stage 2 cases - I got a case from drugstoredotcom and it had 4 x 40 (upc from box 44023 8) and these at amazon are 4 x 48 (upc from box 44015 3). Just heads up, I thought I was saving money until I received the cases and saw the amount difference.We love these diapers - hope your experience is as great as ours. | 1positive

I am very pleased for several reasons. The timeliness in which I received my purchase, the ease at installing and the way in which it opens easily for me but not for the toddler. I will definitely recommend this gate to anyone who has a small child. | 1positive

I was a loyal Diaper Genie user for the first couple of months after my daughter (now 18 months old) was born. With my first daughter (now 5) I used the trash can method, and never had any problems with it, but I wanted to go high-tech with the newest bunchkin. In the beginning, after acquainting myself with the method of operation, which was admittedly not the most intuitive of methods, it was a pretty nifty gadget. No smell, easy to use, didn't have to empty it daily. The first snag I ran into had to do with the refill. The bag had bunched up and was stuck in the case, and it was so tight that I couldn't twist the ring to seal in the diapers. I wasted alot of that refill trying to unstick the bag. I got it working again, with no problems. However, when I slipped in my next refill, I had one heckuva time trying to get the lid back down (not the one you slip the diaper through, but the one you slip the refill into). After many many unsuccessful tries, it finally popped right in without explanation. Weird. But after a couple of months, it stunk something awful everytime I lifted the lid to stick another diaper in. And we change it pretty often along with regular spritzing with Lysol. Finally, the twist ring has become so chewed up that it's now almost impossible to close when we insert a new refill. I'm beginning to think that I had less stress and more money (refills are about $5 each and we go through at least a couple a month) when I used the low-tech and less lazy empty-the-trash-can-daily method. My diaper genie is about to be fired. | 0negative

This would be the perfect product if it fit our toilet seat. The handle sticks out in the back and bumps up against the toilet seat lid causing an improper fit. I am considering cutting the handle off. | 1positive

After reading the glowing reviews here and receiving a positive one from a friend, we decided to replace a broken Diaper Genie (lid broke off) with the Champ. What a disappointment! Here are the big two complaints:1. It's unsanitary. Putting diapers and messy wipes into the slot and dumping them in the bucket leaves the slot a germy mess. Having to clean the slot each and every time is just unrealistic and too much work! And I fear our toddler getting anywhere near the thing because of the germs.2. The smell. It's probably not as bad with an infant, but let me tell you, opening the lid to empty toddler diapers is one frightening experience! Yikes, what a smell after just a couple days. We used the odor prevention garbage bags, but nothing prepared me for that odor when I opened the lid. Since nothing seals off the individual diapers, it's just a sea of messy diapers in there. Yuck.On the plus side, it's wonderful to be able to use regular garbage bags, not the expensive ones the Genie requires. And it's certainly easy to use. But I'm not sure how this product is any better than just using a garbage can with a lid.When our second child arrives next year, we'll be going back to the Diaper Genie. It's not perfect, but it's much cleaner and there's less odor involved (the reason to get one of these products in the first place). And the new version of the Genie is much easier to operate than the earlier model, so we'll just cross our fingers the lid stays attached next time. | 0negative

I LOVED my Champ for the first year as it was all I expected in ease, cleanliness, odor free with regular bag changes and the economical use of kitchen bags. Then the liner began to come loose and get stuck in the tumbler and eventually had to be removed altogether making things a bit less odor resistant, but still manageable with regular bag changes, cleanings, airings and sprinklings of baking soda. The real problem we have now is that no amount of cleaning and deoderizing the Champ after a bag change (about twice a week for us) has managed to eliminate the strong odor that seems to be clinging to the actual pail now. We've tried a number of disinfectants, deoderizers and air freshners, but they are no match for the offensive odor of the Champ even when clean and empty. We are so disappointed in the short-term success of this product. It has been removed from my son's room and we are now taking each diaper out individually and looking for another pail. I am really interested in finding another "use-any-trashbag" style for sake of our finances. In light of our experience with the Champ, I'd have to recommend not purchasing this pail unless you are prepared to replace it when it fails to do it's no-odor diaper duty in due time. | 0negative

I’m using this gate to keep my dog in the bathroom while I’m away from the house. The gate requires you to drill into the wall/frame and screw in 4 loops where the gate will attach. I picked this one specifically because my bathroom door is 24” and there didn’t seem to be a huge selection of gates that were that narrow. This one fits perfectly. It’s pretty easy to open and close but you do have to make sure the bottom hook catches the loop which can make it more difficult to open and close with one hand. Not impossible though.If you are using this for dogs and your dog likes to chew you may want to consider a metal one. The gate is wood and I come home to piles of wood shavings where my dog has been chewing on it. Something I didn't even think about him doing! | 1positive

We use this chair at restaurants, bars and at home. So far we haven't found a place where the chair couldn't clamp on. Our son has been using it since he was 5 months old and loved being at the table with us. Easy to carry, easy to setup. Can't do without it. | 1positive

I bought this for my baby cause everyone else seems to own them in CO. I used a "shower cap" cover with my first but it was cumbersome so thought I'd "upgrade" with my second. The Bundle Me is a great idea and I liked that the cover zipped off and on easily as CO has crazy weather- 60 and sunny one day and cold and snowy the next. But my son is too wiggly for it. As soon as I zip it up on him he wiggles and pulls the cover down and has even managed to kick his feet out of it. I've tried tucking it in but it's too bulky to stay tucked in. In my opinion it's not worth the money and a blanket works better at keeping my son warm. | 0negative

I agree that the tray took some practice, but now that we've mastered it, we absolutely love it. I can now snap the tray on and off accurately in about a second, but it did take some practice. Once you realize you're not going to break anything by just pressing really firmly, you get used to it and can easily line it up for the right setting, and you can have every confidence that it's secure. We love the portability and we take it everywhere; once my daughter outgrew her regular high chair, we also started using this as our everyday booster seat at the table at home. I'm about to buy a second one for our 6-month old! It's probably the best $20 I've spent on a kid item. | 1positive

I am an adoptive mom that had to induce lactation. Someone advised me to pick this one up. So I did, and it was pretty much worthless.First, I have very large natural breasts, so the cups are just not big enough. Second, for me to have to induce lactation, I needed a little more assistance than the massaging action. I was able to put maybe 5 DROPS the entire time I had this thing. Lastly, geez was it expensive, and it was loud.My cousin had a PIS she did not like because it was painful, and I had this. So we traded (I am not worried about a family members bmilk as I know that my family members are healthy), and it was the best thing we could have done. She does not get near as much milk with this one, but only uses on occasion as she is a SAHM. I was able to start getting a somewhat decent milk supply in with the PIS. The PIS fits my breasts better too. Good luck, and I would seriously look into another pump if you are doing adoptive bfeeding, or you are not supplementing with formula. | 0negative

This car seat proved itself when I was involved in an accident last May. My son was sitting in the center of the back seat of my Honda Civic and did not sustain any injuries--except for minor belt "burns" that went away in a few days (I didn't have neck protectors on the straps). The car was totaled and I did injur my back and neck in the accident. So the proof is in the pudding. I also think it is easy to install. I ended up replacing his seat with the Marathon after the accident just because he was getting bigger anyway. I can't say enough about that seat either except that it was recalled (not due to injuries) and I didnt' get a notice from the company. On their behalf, we did move but didn't get a forwarded notice either. | 1positive

This is a great stroller for 1 child but not for 2It was impossible for my 2 year old to sit or stand in the back with my 1 month old riding in the front which I thought was the entire point of this strollerIt is only a good buy if both of your children are old enough to ride in the seats only the infant carrier part is completely useless !!! | 0negative

We needed a gate to separate the great room from the hallway with all the bedrooms and bathrooms off it to keep my baby and dogs out of there when we weren't watching. This one does an alright job. It doesn't look terrible (like some of the gates I've seen) and it's high enough to keep my large dogs from trying to jump over.The gate is opened by pushing the foot pedal on the bottom. The pedal is a bit unstable and the mechanism that opens the gate is in the rod above the pedal, pushing down allows the nubs on the door to come free. Unfortunately ours make a really loud squeak when you do this, and I can't figure out how to oil the interior mechanism to keep it from doing this. Because of this, we have to leave the gate open while the baby is napping to avoid waking her up with it. I also don't like the bottom brace because it's easy to stub your toe on when you're distracted.Overall it's functional, but the squeak limits its usefulness for me. | 0negative

This carrier is a nightmare... I bought this and have tried to use it so many times, only to take it off in utter frustration. First, when my son was a few weeks old, we tried it. He didn't like it because he was snuggled up to my breats and couldn't move. Then a month later, we tried it again. He was ok for awhile, but this time I couldn't get him out. Yesterday I put him in it, finally facing out. He looked super uncomfortable! He wanted out within minutes. This time getting him out was ridiculous...I think I have "last years" model, as mine looks slighly different from the picture. I ordered mine approximately 10 months ago. I think they have lowered the back so the baby can see out better when facing out. I hope they have worked on the hinges that are supposed to be able to lock with one hand. (right!) Anyway, it sure has not worked well for me at all. Wish I would have spent more money and got a better one. | 0negative

This is a very well-designed potty seat:- Our toddler thinks it's very comfortable.- The rubber rim prevents it from slipping.- The sizing mechanism is simple to use, takes only a few seconds to get adjusted to virtually any toilet, and holds on very securely.- The handle is useful for carrying or hanging the seat.- Overall, seems to be very durable.The only downside is that it isn't exactly tiny. It's a couple of inches narrower and shorter than a typical toilet seat, and is roughly 3 or 4 inches thick at its thickest point, making it awkward to place in a diaper bag. It's hard to imagine any way this problem could be eliminated, however. | 1positive

I love this tub, except for the bump. I was very nervous the first time I gave my newborn daughter a bath, but the hammock makes bathing her a breeze. She is now 12 weeks and the bump is starting to press on her back, making her uncomfortable. I put wash cloths over it to act as a cushion, but I don't know how much longer that will work.If it weren't for the bump, I would give five stars. | 1positive

I purchased the Instep Run Around LTD, received it and opened the package only to find that the grip had big cuts in it. I returned it and was sent a second stroller. When I opened it, same thing, cuts in the grips. I would have thought it was from shipping if there were holes in the box, but there were none. I called Instep and they offered a repair kit, for a brand new stroller. Also, the grips were uneven, one side was longer than the other. I know that this is not a top dollar jogger, but give me a break. It still should be better than all this for $100 on sale. I returned the second stroller also. I will think twice before ordering anything like this again online... | 0negative

My wife and I had our 3rd child 2 months ago (a baby girl). Since my wife has to run around after the older 2 kids (girls ages 9 and 6), and the baby's only nutrition is via nursing, my wife wanted something she could use to carry the baby around everywhere and even nurse with while doing all her other tasks.We found this sling on-line, and liked the price, as well as the description of the light fabric (we live in warm south Florida). When it arrived, it took some practice for my wife to figure out how to use it, but she really wanted to make it work, and after a few days on the learning curve, she became good at using it. Now she can't live without it.The baby is safe and secure in the sling, and loves sleeping in it (obviously, you have to use some common sense). Also, while using the sling my wife can take care of the other kids easily and do other things (both hands are generally free). Also, the sling is now serving as a substitute for the heavy, bulky plastic baby car-carrier and stroller, all of which are so bulky that they had been making traveling to a store or restaurant difficult. Now, with the sling, our family of 5 can go out to eat and ask for a table for 4. Very cool. My wife even wore the baby in the sling on a stroll along the beach (and the baby slept the whole time). A stroller wouldn't have worked on the sand and a car seat carrier would have been too heavy to lug around.I guess at some point the baby will be too big for the sling, but for now it's perfect. You just need some practice learning to use it. One minor drawback: since it has big metal rings that shouldn't go in a washing machine, you have to hand-wash it (not a big deal). | 1positive

I am a 5'-10" woman of average weight - bought this during pregnancy because I had read/heard so much about how you had to get a snoogle. Ladies, save your pennies and just buy a good quality memory foam topper for your mattress. I got this thing and it made me more uncomfortable. Then, and I don't even know how we came to this except sleeping on my side was hurting, we got a Serta memory foam topper and all my pains went away. Never used this snoogle or any snoogle - just used the memory foam and we're still using it. | 0negative

I have used this product with my daughter for about a year now. I was immediately impressed with how easy it was to install in our Honda civic and Graco Alpha Omega carseat. We have used it with both rear-facing and now front-facing positions.First, we installed the carseat as I normally would have, pushing the seat down as hard as I could to tighten the belt and latch it. The seat would still move side to side up to 4 inches and lift off the seat at least 2 by pulling on it. Then I attached the mighty-tite and gave the recommended 6-10 "clicks" on the handle. It made the seat MUCH more secure and it no longer moves at all.There are a lot of reviews that say this product is after-market and therefore dangerous. There is nothing I take more seriously than my daughter's safety and I have found this product to be VERY solid in construction and see no reason why it would do anything by enhance safety. One should note that it's possible to overdo it and you should NOT tighten the lever so much that the belt rips. The mighty-tite is powerful enough that you COULD overtighten. So don't!One improvement I would have for the mighty-tite is that they could put a "clutch" or catch to limit how tight it could get. This would satisfy those people who overtighten and rip their belts.Overall I am very satisfied with the product and recently purchased 2 more for our other vehicle and a second carseat for our newborn son. | 1positive

We ordered this when our little guy was 2 for use at the movies. Those awful plastic booster things theaters provide are horrible. This allowed us to safely strap our little man into his own seat as it safely buckles to the base of the movie seats and allows the child to sit very comfortably and rest his head right back on the seat naturally. The seat belt helped him learn that we sit still at the movies. The pocket on side for drink is pretty small and awkward. The only thing that would be better is if there were some sort tray that you cold clamp to both arm rests of theater seats to hold their popcorn. Otherwise, we used this a ton and kept in the trunk to have any time we might need it. Great for spur of the moment stuff! | 1positive

We bought this because my son loves Elmo. Unfortunately, he now refuses to sit on it because it slips around on our elongated toilet seat. It is completely unstable. He won't admit it, but he's afraid of it. So, now he won't go on the big potty and is back to his Baby Bjorn potty chair. I'm going to buy something else. | 0negative

I bought this mattress in Spring 2009 and was very excited by the purchase. It is now Fall 2011 for reference... At first, my baby seemed to find it comfortable - an 8lb. baby so it wasn't much weight. What I failed to realize was that in a mere year or so, when my baby was 26-30 lbs., the mattress would be getting a workout. He started waking up with a sore back and I deduced that it was this mattress! Upon inspection, it sags very badly even with my diligent flipping. I've replaced the mattress with a Sealy Foam Core for 130 dollars. It seems much more durable and I hope for better results.There is a five year warrantee on this guy, but don't be fooled, you get a few months at best.I even tried to salvage this one by putting it in our (next) newborns crib, but I noticed immediately that he is sagging as well. I've decided that this mattress will do no better than become a dog bed and purchased yet another (different and more pricey).I wasn't sure how much to spend on a "quality" mattress; the answer is more than 60 dollars, think around 130-170 if you want to use it for your toddler as well. | 0negative

We received this white Pack 'n Play sheet as a shower gift. If I had spent my own money on it I would have returned it. It is so thin that it is almost transparent. It is rather stiff even after several washings. I expected it to be either pillowcase style (just slip it over the play yard base pad before putting it in the bottom) or at least have elastic corners. All it has is about a 1 1/2" edge on the back side that is suppose to fit around the base pad. Because of this, it doesn't fit snug enough so it bunches up under the baby. If you have ANY sewing skills at all I would highly recommend getting some fabric and making some sheets yourself. It will be cheaper in the long run and you will probably be more satisfied. | 0negative

Here is what I like about this:- you can adjust some fitting with the turn of a dial on the inside back of the seat so that it doesn't shift when on the Toilet (this way I can use it on different toilet bowls and it sits steady)- just one piece (that way things don't get in between the pieces), less mess and easy to clean- contoured etc and all the stuff they say in their descriptionWhat I wish was different: I wish that the seat was a little cushioned. If he's been on the potty for a while, poor thing has red marks on his butt. (it goes away, just don't like seeing that) | 1positive

I just got this recently. It does what I needed it to do which is always block the sun from my daughter's eyes. She hates the sun in her eyes so I was always having to walk backwards if the sun was facing towards her. It was easy to attach (attaches w/4 string ties). I use it w/ a MacLaren Quest.It is not super aesthetically pleasing. My husband says it looks like one of those "granny" hats. But the color matches fine w/my stroller. The other downsides I see are: 1) I am going to have to unattach it if I want to fold up the stroller. Luckily I don't have to do this too often since this stroller lives in our house. 2) It is harder to get baby in and out of the stroller w/this canopy on b/c it doesn't fold back and so I have to bend very low to pull her out and she hits her head on the canopy sometimes, but it is soft so it doesn't hurt. This could be due to the fact that I did not install it as far back as it could go since I did not want to cover up the "window" that is in the stroller canopy so that I can still see my baby.One last word - this size is "compact" but it is a pretty decent size. I can't imagine how I would have fit the larger size one on my stroller. It probably depends on the size of your stroller.But all in all I am satisfied with my purchase since it is does what I needed. | 1positive

This monitor is fantastic. You dont have to turn it up all that loud to hear everything. It helps me sleep at night when I can hear my son breathing, when he is sick. Help me to get stuff done around the house when I can hear if he is playing in his room safely or getting into trouble. The room switch is near his crib and he has learned to get up and turn the switch off which immediately gets me up in the morning, since the receiving end becomes all static. | 1positive

With a new baby and a 2-year-old, I occasionally need to put the baby down to help the 2-year-old. I tried a plain bouncer, but the baby hated it. I figured maybe if there was something to entertain the baby while baby was put down, baby wouldn't cry. I got this because it seemed to have ALL the bells and whistles, and I thought the Kick & Play feature would be great. IT WAS... both times I could get it to work. I called Fisher-Price to find the model was discontinued and they weren't planning another seat with the Kick & Play feature (too often it would break, apparently). Strike One.Okay, other than the Kick & Play feature, it worked great. All the lights and music worked, and the vibrator. Baby was happy in the seat, not making a sound. But I HATED it. The music in the preview is similar to what it sounds like, but... it was loud and FAST. I think it is physically impossible for a human to sing "Do You Know the Muffin Man?" fast enough to keep up with that seat. I thought it was too much. Strike Two.I finally decided to send the seat back to Fisher-Price and get a voucher for a new seat. I had to mail them back the old one (to prove I wasn't scamming them for a free voucher) and it would take a month to get me a voucher. A month to get a new seat? Babies aren't in these seats long, but when you need one, you NEED one. I borrowed a Fisher-Price Aquarium Bouncer from a friend. Baby LOVED it. The sounds are quieter, slower, and actually soothing rather than overstimulating. The toy bar is in baby's line of sight, but doesn't block baby's view of the room. Baby's reaction was SO different. Rather than looking fixedly at it like a couch potato, baby was smiling, cooing, waving. I guess the Kick & Play was too much for baby. I feel bad I subjected baby to it. Strike Three.I don't recommend this one, but if you can find a different seat with the Kick & Play feature, give it a try. | 0negative

The design of this changing pad is wonderful but the cover needs to be more durable.Pro's*Padded & Comfy*4 Sided-this keeps baby from accidently bumping their head*Easy to wipe clean*Bottom is skid proofCon's*cover gets holes easily. With less than 1 year of use the cover has gotten several cracks along the tops of the sides. We used a nice pad cover too.*the seams are coming apart-this is the top of the pad so if baby pee's it could go into the holes and would be impossible to get cleaned out.So even though this has many Pro's I would recommend getting something else if you are wanting to have something to last more than a year w/out any problems. This is one of the more expensive changing pads so you would expect it to be more durable. I would NEVER buy this again unless I knew they changed the cover & made it more durable.If I had written a review on this item the first few months I had it, I would have given it 5 stars and only praises. A few months later I would have changed my mind and deleted that review when it started getting holes. | 0negative

This is a horrible product, especially for use as a carseat!!! It is impossible to understand the manual and as far as installing it into a vehicle, forget about it. I wouldn't recomment this to anyone. Use your own carseat. It is much safer. The manufacturer has a lot of work to do to make this a good car seat. The stroller and airplane function may be the only safe way to use this item. | 0negative

We thought these would be ideal - we'd install them before he was able to crawl, we'd keep them turned down so we would have free entry into all drawers until he became curious and able.Well, now he is "curious and able" and the locks, when engaged in the upright safety mode, will, with enough force, jump out of the upright position and turn down allowing the drawer to fully open. Ever seen a determined toddler yank at a drawer trying to get it open? Believe me, he has the power!I will say that we are using the cabinet lip to stop the drawer from opening, but we have several styles of child-safety locks like this one on our drawers and cabinets throughout the house using the cabinet lips to catch the lock. There is NO WAY my son can get in THOSE drawers and cabinets. But, of course, those other fail-proof locks do not have this turn-down convenience feature - thank goodness! It is too much work to install these to find out they don't really work. | 0negative

This is an excellent item. Our office purchased it for a baby shower gift and had fun putting it up. When you've done it once, it is so easy! It looks good and seems to be vey sturdy. We piled presents in it and we were so proud to give it. The upcoming parents are really happy with it. Especially when they saw how easy it is to take down and put back up. I highly recommend this product. I also believe that the price was very good. I've seen others in the store that didn't look as nice and were more expensive. | 1positive
