anonmom says "great customer service!" about Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium

anonmom — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:13:03 GMT

Both of my children loved this toy! We received this toy as a gift for my first born. It attaches to a crib and plays three different songs. There are different settings with which a child can see fish and other ocean creatures swim around and/or have bubbles come up in the water. The volume can be controlled. There are also two different knobs that a child can make something spin around or open and close. My first son loved the early version of this toy. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he would turn on the music by himself (by kicking it with his foot) and have it sooth him back to sleep. We used to call him our little teanager since he played music all night long! My second son loved it too! After about a year with my second son, when it was already a little old, the aquarium started to leak an oily liquid, though it still worked perfectly. I called up customer service and though the warrenty was already expired, they mailed me a 10 doll gift certificate for a new one and...

anonmom says "Wooden blocks in a storage wagon." about Melissa & Doug blocks

anonmom — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:04:40 GMT

We received this toy as a gift as I would not have purchased such an expensive toy on my own and I find it to be a bit pricey. This set consists of small multi colored wooden blocks that fit inside a wooden storage wagon with wheels. The blocks on their own are nice and made of quality material that will last. The wagon comes with a string to pull it but the string is much too short for the child to actually pull. The blocks are not a large assortment and a child would need more to build anything of substance. Don't let your child build anything while the blocks are still in the wagon and then attempt to pull the wagon! The blocks will topple. It is extremely difficult to put the blocks away when the child is finoshed playing and children often end up very frustrated. The blocks must be put back in only one specific order or else they do not all fit inside the wagon. You can keep the blocks in a different container, but that defeats the purpose of the wagon.

anonmom says "great toy!" about Melissa and Doug cutting food (wood)

anonmom — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:59:02 GMT

My mother in law was looking all over for something "different" that she could get my two and a half year old son for his birthday. Although we already had play plastic food and a toy kitchen, my mother in law thought the Melissa and Doug cutting food set would be great for him. My son loved it! The set comes with both vegetables and fruit, such as watermelon, a green pepper, a carrot, an apple, and a tomato. It also comes with a pretend loaf of bread. What makes this set different is that it comes with a wooden cutting board and a wodden knife. The food is made up of smaller units held together with velcro. A child can use the knife and cutting board to "cut" apart the food on the velcro. The toy works as decribed and holds up to some abuse, as it is made of wood wth quality construction. However, my son did try to put some of the food in his mouth and the paint chipped off. We had to explain to him that the food is pretend. We have also misplaced some of the vegetable parts and we...

anonmom says "great "baby sitter"" about Bumbo Baby Seat

anonmom — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:47:58 GMT

Although this product won't watch your baby for you, it will help your baby sit!! My sister purchased a red bumbo baby sitter for me when I was expecting my second child. At first I though it was a useless baby product since many mothers have survived without it until now, but once I started using it, I realized that it is a fantastic idea! This seat is to be used when your child can not yet sit unsupported. You know when your baby wants to see the world? Well, my baby had a lot of gas and so could not stay on his stomach for long periods of time. Also, he could not raise his head for a long period without getting tired while in a tummy time position. This Bumbo baby sitter helped him to sit next to his brother while he played and see everything that was going on. This seat comes with a tray and two different placemats with cute designs. It worked well. However, I found the seat to be very narrow for my chubby son. In addition, when he kicked his legs, the tray someitmes popped off. All...

anonmom says "cheapest is the best!" about Gerber original nurser bottles Baby Bottle

anonmom — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:41:40 GMT

I had purchased some expensive "most like Mom" bottles for my first child but hated how long they took to clean. For my second child, I purchased these cheaper bottles (a dollar a piece) and found them to be much better! They are easily found at most drugstores and even ninety-nine cent stores or Family Dollar. I have used both the smaller ones for a newborn baby and the larger ones for an older baby. My son used the smaller ones until about 4 months and the larger ones until he was about fourteen months old.They are easy to clean, easy to hold, and the replacement nipples are cheap. I do wish that they sold replacement nipple covers since we tended to lose them. If you don't like the latex nipples, you can purchase silicone ones instead.These are great bottles, I strongly recommend them! **by the way, one dollar off printable coupons can often be found online and these would make these bottles free!!!

anonmom says "great printer for a great price" about Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W Laser Printer

anonmom — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:11:25 GMT

The Konica Minolta pagepro printer has been working well for me for the past two years. It is fast and efficient and the ink cartidge lasts for a very long time. At times, the machine takes two papers at a time or gets jammed but I find that on a whole it works very well. I highly recommnd it!...

anonmom says "Great Mobile" about Tiny Love Clip On Mobile

anonmom — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:23:30 GMT

This Tiny Love little mobile clips right onto my infant car seat handle. It has an on and off switch for the music and it also turns around. It can also clip onto a stroller hood. A velcro strap is included if you do not want to use the clip. Very convenient!...

anonmom says "Unbelievable Service!" about Snapfish

anonmom — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:16:05 GMT

Although snapfish may be pricier than other photo sites, it is the best! Snapfish's site is easy to use and they many products to choose from. Their uploading is pretty fast and you can edit photos on the site. They also save your choices in your shopping cart which is great while you wait for a good coupon to come up. Coupon codes do come up often so wait for a deal!...

anonmom says "great mobile!" about Tiny Love Symphony In Motion Mobile with Remote

anonmom — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:11:49 GMT

This tiny love mobile really occupies the baby for a long time. The music and motion is soothing and puts my baby to sleep all the time. The music also changes and can be manually selected so that it does not get annoying to the parents. The only con I found is that it made a slight grinding sound as the moblie turned. I called up the company and they sent me a new motor, no problem. The sound is still there partially but it is hardly noticable. Highly recommend!...

anonmom says "Great Car Seat" about Graco SnugRide

anonmom — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:07:28 GMT

The Graco Snugride is one of my favorite purchases! It is light-weight and comfortable for the baby. I love that I can put the car seat in the Graco snap and go and another, heavier stroller is not required. Although the snugride comes with a base, it can also go into a car without it, just using the car seatbelt. We found this to be a great plus when using grandmas and other's cars. My son liked the carseat so much that he slept in it for the first few months instead of a crib. The straps are easy to use and don't get tangled like other carseats I've seen. Highly recommend it!...
