tikigirl09 says "Great, entertaining bouncer for little ones!" about Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo Bouncer

tikigirl09 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:24:17 GMT

My son used this bouncer for as long as he could fit in it and he loved it! There are so many features as well as music to keep little ones entertained. A huge plus- it's a big enough bouncer that he could bounce himself to sleep safely and catch a little nap in it! It's adorable and bright colored and the little animals hanging down make little ones so curious. It is a little big but you know it's safe, very functional and entertaining. It's worth the money. I recommend the Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo Bouncer.

burmtown says "The best 1st swing ever, portable, collapsible, music&lights!!!" about Summer Infant Little Pink Kisses Travel Swing

burmtown — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:48:08 GMT

My granddaughter loved it. It was such a wonderful pacifier. It has lights and hanging eye catchers. Plus several lovely musical tunes to soothe. Fast and slow speeds you can adjust one click at a time. Not just high and low. Very comfy and soft. She has outgrown it but she is a chunky girl. She used it until 6 mos. old when she started to try and crawl out of it. I would strongly advise this one. I am passing it on to my next granddaughter on the way soon.

The only thing I didn't care for was I cannot get the cover off to wash it. I can cleanse it w/disinfectant wipes though. I notice a lot of things for babies are getting this way, I suppose so you cannot pass them on and have to buy new ones. Otherwise I was totally happy with this product. Safety was very high on the scale of evaluation of this also.

altoidchicka says "The fisher price jumperoo is a lifesaver for clingy babies" about Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo

altoidchicka — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:57:35 GMT

I bought the fisher price jumperoo when my son was 2 months old. At that time he was to little to really use it but he liked to sit in it and look around. By 4 months he was bouncing a bit and enjoying it more. There were times when he would fall asleep in it. The height settings on it are spot on, at 4months old my son was using it on the lowest setting, by 10 months he was using it on the highest setting. The jumperoo was a life saver for me because my son liked to be held a lot. But he would play in the jumperoo for about 15 mins a day allowing me to pick stuff up and get the house a little cleaner.

The lights and toys on the jumperoo are very nice. I like that the two hanging toys on the top bend so that kids can pull and play with them. It also isn't to noisey or annoying like some kids toys are. I would say out of all the toys my son had his first year of life, he got the most use out of the jumperoo. The weight and height limits were high enough on it that my...

altoidchicka says "The cosco scenera is not a safe carseat" about Cosco Scenera Car Seat

altoidchicka — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:57:34 GMT

I bought the cosco scenera car seat to use as my back up car seat for when my son is with my parents. I bought it because it was said to keep kids riding rear faced until 33lbs. However it is not easy to install rearfacing. I have tried in 3 different cars and its really hard to get a good tight fit. The seat moves around to much when installed. I took it to a car seat tech and they got it installed tightly after about 20mins but it was hard and took a lot of pulling. I do not suggest this carseat as a back up seat. It might work fine if you have it installed and then dont take it out. Another thing i dont like about this seat is that the straps twist very easily. It is a pain having to un do and re do the straps so that they are straight.

However the seat is very cheap and can be used rearfaced to 33lbs and forward faced to 40lbs. So if you are willing to mess with the install and deal with twisted straps its not a bad seat. I personally don't use it anymore and i...

altoidchicka says "Britax is number one in saftey and ease of use" about Britax Convertible Car Seat, Marathon Cowmooflage

altoidchicka — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:57:33 GMT

I bought my son the britax marathon shortly before he turned 1yrs old. I did a lot of research and everything i read suggested britax. The AAP is now suggesting to keep kids riding rearfaced to at least 2yrs and 30lbs. The britax marathon allows me to keep my son rearfaced until 35lbs. My son is now almost 2yrs old and still happily riding rearfaced in the marathon. When used forward facing its good until 65lbs, so it keeps kids in a 5pt harness longer then other carseats do. The marathon is a big carseat but it easily fits in our small honda. We have installed it using the latch system and it is so easy it takes less then 5mins to get installed and its just about impossible to install it incorrectly. It is easy to adjust the straps and its easy to get kids in and out of. I have no complaints with my britax marathon and i am happy my son will be able to use it for the next few years....

standleys4 says "This stroller is comfortable and convenient!" about Graco Vie4" Stroller - Betsey

standleys4 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:49:52 GMT

This is my first daughter and since we thought that we were done after our 2 boys we got rid of all of our baby things. When I was looking for a stroller I loved the Graco Vie 4" Stroller - Betsey. It has a lot of safety features that I love and the colors are great! I think that my daughter is comfortable in this stroller and I love that it has features that allow her to grow in it. The locks on the wheels are strong and I don't worry about her being in the stroller as I get the mail or do something else with my hands. I would suggest this stroller to anyone.

houdiniphile says "Cuire for the hiccups-found!" about Disney Baby Musical Deluxe Bouncer

houdiniphile — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:02:01 GMT

Disney's Baby Musical Deluxe Bouncer was on a very attractive aisle display while I was shopping for my soon to be grandbaby. I am so glad I bought this. It is hard to put a newborn down, and when you do, you want them to be comfortable. Just like all the Disney products I have reviewed so far, this one features washable cloth. We rarely use the canopy or mobile, just the comfy seat to make baby feel snoozy.

The most comforting thing about this is the gentle vibrations soothe crying spells, cure hiccups, and overall make for a happy baby. If baby is happ- everyone is happy!

houdiniphile says "Can't live without it." about Disney Disney Baby Care Center Play Yard

houdiniphile — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:01:58 GMT

This Disney Baby Care Center Play Yard has been a real lifesaver. The perfect height of the changing table makes it easy on new moms, even with cesarean pain. It sets up fast, can be done by one person, and can be moved quickly from the nursery to the new mom's room as we discovered. The box reads Disney but also "Safety 1st" which is the brand I look for. At the hospital one of the newborn nurses even said this bassinet system was the safest, smartest piece of furniture that you could buy for your baby.

LadyLoo says "ComfortSport is economical and stylish" about Graco ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat in Halee Fashion

LadyLoo — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 02:06:43 GMT

I have twins so we purchased two Graco ConfortSport carseats. My twins are were big so they started using them about 7-8 months rear-facing when the infant carriers got too heavy to manage. We turned them around to forward facing shortly after their first birthday at the advice of our pediatrician. The ComfortSports are still in great condition. I like that you can take them apart and wash the covers easily. They are still in use now and the twins are 2 1/2. I'm very glad I chose to them. There were other seats that were more expensive but these have held up GREAT. Glad I saved that extra $100. They are a GREAT buy!

LadyLoo says "Great for wee ones but you will have to purchase another later" about Graco DuoGlider Double Stroller

LadyLoo — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 02:06:43 GMT

This stroller was great when the twins were small! I loved being able to snap the car seats right in. It is a little heavy, but managable. It also took up a lot of room in the truck, but we were able to fit it in a Chevy Cavalier one time when a friend borrowed it. When the twins turned about a year, I had to buy the side by side because they were beginning to kick each other in the head and pull the front riders hair from the back. (lol... starts young) All in all, I think it was still a good purchase. I kept mine in very good shape and we sold it to a friend for $80. I believe I paid somewhere around $150 for it so we got our $70's worth out of it. If you have twins- it's a definite must.

HECsmom says "Hate it!" about Evenflo Little Pink Kisses Journey Stroller

HECsmom — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:51:09 GMT

I got the little pink kissses stroller and carseat for a baby shower gift. I thought it looked really cute and loved it. The car seat was great. It doesnt have alot of padding though. The stroller is HORRIBLE! You have to make sure the thing is completley closed before you can open it. It only has TWO positions to sit in! All the way straight or alittle bit back. You can barely even get the thing to lay back though unless you shake it a bunch of times, and you dont want to shake it cause then it will wake up your sleeping baby! You wouldnt be able to have the thing for very long cause once they hit 2 years old the wheels will bend. I know this because i put my 2 year old niece in it. Also the wheels make soo much noise even after i put WD40 on them. I do love the 2 drink holders though. our new one doesnt have that. i also like the tray in front. You can push a button and move it out of the way. Other than that I'm glad i didnt waste my money on it and i suggest you spend just a little......

Wyattsmomma2008 says "Eddie Bauer will not let you down!!!" about Eddie Bauer Adventure Travel System

Wyattsmomma2008 — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:42:39 GMT

My husband and I are first time parents and had no idea how many options there were out there. With so many brands, choices, and prices it can drive a new parent a little insane. We didn't look at Eddie Bauer at first because they were a little pricey. So we looked at all the other brands and I kept coming back to this one. The bonus for me was this is the only one out of what seemed like a million that my husband liked too.

We were debating in the end on this one and a Graco set. The graco did not feel as sturdy, and it seemed way overpriced for the qaulity. Alot of people I know have had Graco's and say they are decent, but I didn't like anything about them.

The winner was Eddie Bauer, especially when it was on clearance. We just received it the other day and loved it as soon as we saw it. It took my husband 10 minutes to assemble what little assembly was needed. The stroller is super sturdy. I love that it converts to a cariage for a newborn. It is heavy and a little bulky, but it's...

jessbueto says "great stroller" about Graco stroller

jessbueto — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 14:08:00 GMT

I am finally an aunt! My sister just had a baby, and she and I were trying to find the perfect stroller as well as everyhing else she would need. She bought the most amazing stroller. She chose the Graco pink and brown stroller, because Graco has affordable and cute baby stuff. You can also get other Graco baby items in this exact same theme. I totally understand how we women LOVE to have everything match! You will love this stroller, and you will like the price. Good luck with your precious, new little cargo! What a blessing!

Renaze says "Combi Car Walker is cute, well made, and grows with baby" about Combi Car Walker, Yellow

Renaze — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:27:36 GMT

Combi Car Walker is the cutest thing ever! I bought this for my granddaughter when she was 5 months old and not only did she really love it with lots to discover & play with but her parents did too, they consider it a must have with the options for a stand up walker or regular type-& it can be made stationary if perferred with little light up foot massagers plus it's got an easy to remove snack tray option. It's also very well made & safe as wel it's got quite an area around it so it would be very diffacult for baby to get into a perdicament type thing~ I can't say enough good about it, I was just so pleased with the purchase- I highly recommend it, really.

jjodiekash says "Great swing!" about Fisher Price Rainforest Take Along Swing

jjodiekash — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 02:44:43 GMT

I bought this swing because of it's ability to 'take it with me' where ever I go. I am a small person and I do find it difficult to manage to carry this around with me if I have other things to carry at the same time. But, I have also learned that this is the case with anything so I will not hold prejudice against this product. I really, really like this swing. I have a full size swing and this one functions much better. The colors are great, the music quality and several selections for swinging are a plus. And a great plus ... I EVEN PUT THIS TOGETHER MYSELF! Anyone who knows me would consider this a huge accomplishment! But for an affordable swing that is small enough to take with you when visiting friends and family and also versitile enough to use in your home, I highly recommend this.

Neka11 says "Great product for the money" about Cosco Umbrella Stroller, Girl

Neka11 — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:20:16 GMT

A friend of mine daughter's birthday 6/17/09, and she wanted a baby doll stroller for her babies. Well since most companies make the usual toy stroller so short and dont think about children that are very tall for there age. I ended up buying this one, it's was really worth it for the money. Which i got it on sale for only $16.19. She loved the stroller has been pushing her doll's in it everyday. My 18 month old loved it also, she thought it was her stroller at first. Maybe i should get her one?

MommeeOfTwo says "It is cute but I was disapointed!!" about Summer Infant Little Pink Kisses Bouncer

MommeeOfTwo — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:41:43 GMT

Summer Infant Little Pink Kisses Bouncer

I bought the entire set from Kmart. The highchair, bouncy seat, pack and play, and the car seat and stroller combo. The bouncy seat is really adorable! However, the vibration was so light. All babies are different, but my baby needed to feel the vibration and you could hardly feel it with this seat. Compared to other seats, I was upset that I bought this one. Also, the batteries died really fast even with little use. Other bouncers have toys that the babies can play with as they get a little older and this one doesn't. The mobile is cute and all but it moves so slow that my daughter wouldn't even look at it. It bored her. Then as she got older, she was really bored because she couldn't play with the mobile like she could have toys. So, like I said.... it is adorable, but I was really let down by it.

butterflybaby09 says "Not the best.." about Evenflo Little Pink Kisses Infant Car Seat

butterflybaby09 — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 04:49:01 GMT

When i first saw this carseat it seemed so practical, affordable, and cute. I bought it because of the price and the good reviews I had read. But I have to say that after having it for 3 months I wish i could afford something better. My baby's head flops around like a rag doll and she sits straight up in it. Also the straps are difficult to adjust. Its very hard to strap baby in because the shoulder straps are built so low down into the carseat, they need to be a little higher. I have had 2 different cars and this carseat does not fit into them at all with the handle down like the instruction manual says is the proper way and barely fits in the car even with the handle up. It seems bulky and heavy. When I bought this item it was somewhere around 65-70 dollars. I just recently seen k-mart selling it for 14 dollars! what is up with that? I have never seen a carseat that cheap.

monkeysmama says "my daughter loves her seat" about Evenflo Little Pink Kisses Infant Car Seat

monkeysmama — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 09:22:36 GMT

I got this car seat and stroller as a gift before my daughter was born. We have been using it since she was born and it has been wonderful! Like all products, it is not perfect. The few things that could be improved are, the head support is HUGE - I had to buy a smaller one that would support my newborn's head, when the handle is down in the car, which is listed as the proper way to have it, it BARELY fits between the back seat and the front seats in our Jeep Grand Cherokee, and my daughter has a long torso and the strap slots don't go very high, so we have only gotten a few months out of it and now we have to buy a convertable car seat. I don't think any of this really makes the car seat deserve a bad review. It is just stuff that I think could be improved. All in all, this seat has been great for us. My daughter loves it and on many occasions has fallen asleep in it. It may not be perfect, but it does the job and does it well! I would reccomend this seat to people, but I would...
