Liked overall... but small for growing family needs and zipper broke We liked this bottle bag overall, mainly because it attached to our diaper bag, was a convenient size for one baby and complied with CA safe food storage regulations. However, within the first year of use the zipper handle snapped off, making it very difficult to open/close. With baby #2 on the way we are looking for something slightly bigger and will not purchase this one again due to the zipper issue. Having read another review discussing the same zipper issue, Skip Hop needs to look into the quality of the zipper on this product.

Suction mediocre, lids ill-fitting Like many other reviewers, I found the suction to be mediocre on these. I bought 2 sets and some of them stick really well and don't come off at all and others don't suction at all, even with a little water on the bottom. Fortunately, my toddler is starting to get over the 'let's pick up the bowl and dump everything on the floor' phase so the suction thing doesn't bother me as much anymore. However, the lids are really hard to use. They are really ill-fitting and it takes a lot of time and effort to get them to snap on. Who's got time to mess with lids with a young toddler running around? So, if you don't need lids much or suction, then these bowls are nice and deep and the variety of sizes available is very handy (although that would sort of defeat the purpose of buying these, right?).

Very Convenient I purchased this carseat for a roadtrip to be the third carseat in the row and LOVED it. It's very convenient for short-term use.

Not a good swing for newborns We have the larger Ocean Wonders swing and it is the best swing I've ever bought. We bought this smaller travel swing for our downstairs. My daughter is 3 wks old and yesterday I found her totally slumped over in the swing! I have to prop her up with towels but then the swing seems so heavy that it won't swing. It barely even moves so she just sits there and cries. The music is ok and the swing is cute but it just doesn't seem to work very well. I think I'll have to return it and get something else.

SOUNDS NEAT, BUT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!! With twin girls, the importance of saving money is immense. So, why not purchase a "grow with you" tub to save money?? The problem is no matter where we set the tub up, it WOULD NOT HOLD WATER. So, we wound up going out and purchasing a different tub. Sounds good, but not does not work unless you want a "dry" bath!

Fourth seat bought, Best by Far This was the fourth different potty seat we had bought for our granddaughter to use when at our house. She uses a child-sized normal potty at day care. so the regular potties at home can be daunting. This seat is easy to use, comfortable, and easy to clean. She can put it on herself and has no fear of falling into the bowl. I sure wish Baby Bjorn had been around when my kids were little.

Shipment was incomplete The shipment was missing a neoprene tip and a brush. I mentioned this before and these items were not yet received. No one called...I was given a number to call but the person on the other end said I would have to call back another time. I am very disappointed and will never so business with them again.

Great Product! I bought this product on a whim from Walmart about two years ago. I fell in love with it and recently bought another on Amazon because it made it so much easier to install my daughter's forward-facing car seat.I've read that people have had issues getting these off of the seat belts. I have managed to avoid that (running into a close call when I first started using it) by positioning it at the right distance on the seatbelt so that when you tighten it the seat won't get in the way of the release button on its side. I also read that this has destroyed seatbelts. I have switched around the car seat frequently (1-2 times per week) and upon inspection, haven't noticed a weakening point on the seat belts in either vehicles.

Pampers Cruisers Pampers Cruisers versus Baby Dry - I pick Cruisers for my twins. They are really scooting around and Cruisers are stretchy and flexible and they don't leak. Even free super-saver shipping gets them here fast - and they are worth it!

Serves its purpose while looking simple and elegant I needed a hamper for my baby's clothes. I can't believe how many clothes he goes through. I did not want those tacky ones that were out there. I noticed this beautiful folding hamper and fell in love. It looks great in the Nursery. The easy flip top is wonderful. The pull out netting makes you love this product even more. If you are looking for a hamper that is easy to use and looks good too, this is it! I love it!

The worst baby product I bought! I can't believe this is still being sold.I bought this stroller when my 2nd daughter came along, because we trusted the Graco name, and we really like our Graco single stroller. This stroller was obviously not designed by the same stroller design team. It has so many problems, where do I start?!1. You need 2 hands to unfold the stroller and to recline the seat. Not ergonomically sound when you have a baby in one arm.2. Brakes require 2 steps, a step on the left side and a step on the right side.3. The basket has already torn on me and I hardly use it because it's so hard to access your stuff once you put them in it.4. The pivot point for opening/closing the basket is formed by 2 hooks (???) that does not stay in place, and can get hooked onto other parts of the stroller.5. The canopy of the front seat slips out too easily. No wonder you see a lot of parents just take it out altogether.6. When you put an infant seat in the back seat and close the canopy of both the infant seat and the stroller, there is no ventilation for the baby :O :O They should have use mesh material for part of the canopy as they did for my single stroller7. The front tray gets in the way of you collapsing the stroller, so it never really sits flat when collapsed. You see a lot of parents take this tray out altogether too.One advantage it does have over my single stroller is that, with its small wheels, it's more maneuverable.I think they have come out with a newer version, maybe that would be a better buy. This one, a very badly designed piece.

Chiropractor Needed!!! Ouch! I am an average sized mommy - 5' 6", 135 lbs. And this carrier was WAY to big for me no matter how we adjusted it. The baby just hangs forward like the other reviewers reported. It fit my 200 lb husband but still killed his back due to the location of the straps. And I found it didn't offer very good neck support for our 6 week old. He appeared to be to tall for it and the neck support didn't come up high enough.Should have just bit the bullet and paid the $90 for a good one. This is a waste of money.

Pathetic! This product didn't stick on the wall for more than 5 minutes. We had a freshly painted, clean wall and it just fell right off. Complete waste of money.

Great seat carrier We bought this for an extensive itinerary for our summer vacation- 6 flights in one month. We were able to fit one backless booster and one regular "backed" booster seat in here with no problems. There was plenty of room for more items- including 4 pairs of shoes that were removed from an overweight luggage bag. It held up very well and is still looking new- no holes or snags. It is big and bulky when filled, but the shoulder stap makes it easy to throw over one shoulder and carry it through the airport. This was definately worth the extra cost.

An evening ritual I started using California Baby's calming oil with my baby when she was a few weeks old to sooth evening fussiness. Now, at four months, her eyes light up every time I squirt the oil in my hands and rub them together to warm the oil. It's lilke she can anticipate the pleasure of the massage. It's definitely helped her fussiness and she sleeps well too.

Love it! Worth the extra money! I love this stroller! I spent a lot of time researching all my options, I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old. My 4 year old is so happy with it too! The stroller folds up and down easily, is pretty lightweight compared to the other sit-n-stand strollers, and I love all the pockets in the parent organizer. It moves and turns so smoothly too! My opinion is don't buy the Baby Trend or the regular Caboose - this one is the best of the three! Great stroller overall, my only complaint is that the bench itself does not seem to stay in place very well. My child's feet also slip off the platform when she is sitting on the bench, I'd like to see a lip on the outer part of the platform, not just the inside. Great buy though, I am very happy!

Keep Shopping Around... It's an okay swing but you may want to keep shopping around. Our complaints:1. It promises "5 Songs" but you don't really get five songs that play in their entirety that you can switch between. What you get is five songs that play for a few seconds then start back over. Kind of schizoid sounding and annoying to listen to.2. The toy bar comes out easily as it doesn't lock into place. Your baby will probably quickly figure out how to pull it out.3. As everyone else has said, the toys are boring and are attached by a microscopic piece of Velcro. Like the bar, your baby will quickly learn to rip off the toys and chuck them to the side.4. As mentioned by others, there are two speeds that are identical-- slow and slow. And I do mean SLOW.5. The slightest thing will bring the swing motion to a stand still... e.g. having a blanket on your baby's legs, your baby shifting his weight, the toy bar (which has been ripped out by baby) dangling from the chair.6. Even on its "low" setting, the volume is too loud for a baby's ears. I had to tape pictures of baby faces from a catalog over the speakers to mute the sound a bit. This wound up being a good thing though as it gave my baby something to look at after the toys and toy bar had been removed.The GOOD thing about this swing is that the chair and swing frame have a nice sturdy feel to them. Also, this is one of the few swings in which your baby can sit fairly upright... so many seem to have them reclined so far back that they are putting a lot of weight on their head. In hindsight, it wasn't the worst purchase I ever made... but I wouldn't buy this again. Keep shopping.

Shipped fast, easy to assemble I ordered this chair for the nursery and it looks great and is very comfy! I was surprised at how easy it was to assemble (which was minimal)...basically just putting the chair back & sides on and then attaching the cushions. It's sturdy and a good quality for the price!

The Worst Moniter EVER! After reading the reviews we decided to purchase this moniter over the others. It was always blurry,andd the video would disappear. 2mnths later the video portion would not work at all. We thought it was a fluke purchased the same one and within 3mnths it did the same thing. We returned it and purchased the Safty first and have never been happier... Don't waste your money on this one...

A Mommy-Sanity Device! Babywearing a wonderful sanity saver for both moms a babies. My 6month old daught was a classic colic/high-needs baby, and I wouldn't be the calm, effective, with-it mommy I am today without babywearing!I originally used a ring sling, but around 15lbs my baby go too heavy for me to comfortably wear for long periods of time. So, I tried out the Moby wrap. It's fantastic! The weight is so much more evenly distributed, and it doesn't hurt my back or sholders. I can wear her for hours and it's no big deal. Our baby loves being worn, and seems to also prefer the Moby to the sling. My husband actually ties her onto his back!There are TONS of different wraps, far more than what is shown in the booklet or on the Moby website. Check out youtube for all the different holds.I will make the comment that I have NO idea how moms breastfeed using this. Breastfeeding in a sling was really easy, but I can't figure it out in the Moby. Also, I think the ring sling was "easier" to use in the sense that you just put it on and go, so going to the grocery store was faster and easier. But, you can put your Moby on before leaving to do errands, drive, and then slide your little one (or big one!) in the Moby when you get to your destination.

Essential for first-time breast-feeding moms! This has to be one of the best inventions for first time breast-feeders! It helps support the baby and get her at the right level so that mom can use both hands to get the rest of the activity squared away (which can be a real challenge at first!). It is especially helpful for the 'football hold' which is how I fed my daughter for the first few weeks.After a while I found that the boppy was more of a nuisance to use while breastfeeding than as a helpful support, so now I use it to prop up my baby. She can face forward on it (in a modified version of tummy time) or more often I lay her on it so her head is up off the ground and she has more to look at than just the ceiling. It has come in very handy when she wants to play in her activity station because the hanging toys are a lot closer to her grasp than they are when she is just lying flat on the floor.You do have to purchase a slip cover for the boppy, which just ads to the cost, but is also a lot easier once it comes time to do laundry (which you do A LOT of!) There are a millions different slipcovers to choose from which makes it fun to customize for your own baby.

Not great I wanted to love these wipes...they are SO soft! But we use wipes solution in a spray bottle and wet the wipes as we go, and when these wipes are sprayed, the liquid doesn't soak in readily and almost seems to bounce off the fabric. Also, after washing the wipes one time, before even using them, the stitching around the edges started unraveling. Am really disappointed. Returned these to Amazon. I have other flannel wipes from a WAHM from a certain website where you can buy handmade items, and they are far superior to these wipes.

To much work!!! I'm a mother of a two month old. These bottles are to much work to put together. To much of a hassle. Just to keep less air in. Does it do the job for your baby to have less gas?? I don't think so. My baby would cry with all the gas he had!Waste of money!

[Cloth] Diaper WIMP! Even though the box says it works for cloth diapers, it really doesn't. We spend most of our time stuffing them in by hand because the chute gets clogged. In theory, it seems like a good idea and would likely work for disposables if you bundle them tightly with their tabs, but I can't say for sure. If you use cloth like we do, DON'T buy this product! We haven't used it for non-breastfed "output" so I can't comment on the smell factor yet.

Seriously Lacking Function Like most of the reviews have already said this is a cute mobile, but that's where it ends.My daughter LOVES it, but it serves no good functioning purpose if I have to stand beside the crib to wind it back up after a min or 2 of spinning. The obnoxious noise from winding this mobile completely wakes her up after she was well on her way to dream land.If it was battery operated I would easily give this mobile more than 1 star, but there was a serious lack of attention paid to the functional side of a cute/ matching mobile.I plan to return it.

So So I was looking forward to this product. The actual pieces are hard to switch out. I could tell that my baby was looking for it to move like her other mobile.

amazing potty I started potty trainingg(Elimination Communication method) my 4 month old with this potty. The design makes it easy for the child to go to the bathroom. I swear it puts pressure in the right areas to help express the pee and poop! My baby is already potty trained at 6 months! She loves the potty. The back and side rests give her the support she needs. She sits on it like it is a throne. It is easy to clean and very sturdy. The best potty in the world!

It depends on what you want in a sound machine I purchased two of these for my two children and decided to send them back. I think that when people buy sound machines, they are buying for one of two reasons (or perhaps both). Some people buy sound machines to soothe their little one, and some buy sound machines to block other noises out. I was looking for a sound machine that would block other noises out. Though the children are in separate rooms, they were waking one another up.The reviews on the volume of this sound machine were mixed, but we decided to give it a try. This sound machine was NOT loud enough to block out noises from another room. And I am not talking about screaming; I am talking about baby whimpering/TV/etc. We kept the machines for a few days and the children were still waking each other up. If you are looking for a sound machine to help soothe your baby or to keep him/her to sleep, I think this is probably a great sound machine. For the price, it has many options and comes with a lifetime warranty. The lifetime warranty is what drew us to buy this sound machine in the first place because we have gone through so many other sound machines that stopped working.However, if you are looking for something loud enough to block noises from another room, I'm afraid this sound machine would not work for you. I would like to say that Amazon promptly refunded my money, and I didn't want to give this sound machine a bad rating because for certain people, I think this would be a great option.

THE BEST of the best. We got into an interesting discussion a while back on a networking group I belong to... I was fascinated/horrified by what Kay (the owner of My Precious Kid) had to say about car seats.I had already bought a nice little booster seat for Miss J, since she will be graduating into that size catagory right about the time the baby comes. But Kay was adamant from her research that these still-really-little people need to stay in a 5-point harness as long as possible to keep them safe.There are a bunch of very sad videos on YouTube about this topic, which a quick search will bring to your screen.I was convinced, and I got Miss J a "Big Girl Car Seat": the amazing RADIAN 65 Car Seat.There is a Radian 65 and a Radian 80, with the difference being the weight limit. Since J is much taller than she is heavy, she will certainly be outgrowing either seat by height before she reaches 65 lbs., making the 80 unnecessary for our particular situation. It does come in pink, though, which was tempting...I read though some of the reviews of the seat here on Amazon, and it was pretty amazing to hear the variety of whines about difficulty to install, weight, etc.Was it easy to put in my Tahoe?Well, okay, not as easy as the booster seat, no. And some of the things I did have to readjust after installing it once and looking at my handiwork. My older son helped (can you see me trying to reach over the seat to get to the buckles with my 8-months pregnant belly? Not.), and it took the two of us... oh... maybe 10 minutes. Let me be generous and say 15.I'm not kidding. Is 15 minutes, once, not a totally reasonable time investment for something that can save your child's life?I have a little more sympathy for people who said it doesn't fit in their vehicle. I was originally going to put it in the center of the back seat, where she's currently riding. Turns out it can't be installed there, because of the seatbelt buckle configuration of my pre-LATCH vehicle. But of course after watching Kyle's video (on YouTube), it really shouldn't be there, anyway, as there's no place in the center back to link a top tether!So, off to the side she went...(BTW, installing again on the driver's side after changing my mind, once we'd "got the drill down" and had all the correct straps installed and adjusted, took about 3 minutes).It has so many great features you just can't dismiss: steel frame construction, trim profile and upright position (J HATES reclining!), a unique "safe strap" for use in certain configurations (including Miss J's) that would help reduce the strap load on her in the event of a collision (WOW!), it folds flat for travel and transport (and is FAA approved for airline use)...I find it in all ways superior to the Britax Marathon we have now . . . and did I mention that it's a lot less expensive?!Where was this seat when I was shopping so diligently 3 years ago?

Excellent gate, extension works great! We needed a sturdy gate at the top of our stairs that was pressure mounted because we had to mount it on both sides to our wood balusters. We did tons of research and finally settled on this one. We couldn't be happier with our pick! It is extremely sturdy, doesn't move in the slightest (and we use it ALL day long), and is well built. The hands-free option is an absolute must if you're getting this because you have small children. I can step on the release and nudge the gate open with my knee, so my hands are still securely on my child in my arms. I cannot imagine a child being able to open it because it does take quite a bit of pressure, in fact, our two year tries to step on it and can't budge it. The gate swings nicely in both directions and easily latches back in place. I don't especially like that the bar is underneath, but I also understand that there's no way around it. I will say that at least the designers tried to alleviate the annoyance of the bar by adding in slopping plastic mounds around the bar. They're not great but definitely better than just the bar. We also had to get the extension and it works great. Like other reviewers, I should mention that when you order the extension it's only ONE extension (I think about 5 inches or so), not two separate extensions, which is a little misleading in the description. We were right on the edge of needing another extension but it actually works great with just the one. Also, when you pull it out of the box it appears be bent, but it's made that way and it works once it's in. It's also easy to assemble and install. I highly recommend this gate! We might even get another one for the bottom of the stairs because it works so well.

Great for Traveling I purchased 3 of these seats for my two daughters and nephew. Our family travels to Cabo once a year, and with 3 toddlers in tow, we had no extra hands to be carrying their carseats. The seats fit easily in one backpack and fit perfectly in the taxi from the airport to the hotel. I wouldn't recommend them for long drives because there is no head support, but our ride was only 25 minutes, so they worked out perfectly.

Horrible tub I received this tub as a shower gift. I had registered for the Eurobath, but didnt receive it. I gave this tub one star because the only feature I liked was that it folds for easy storage. What I didnt like about it: Too small, doesnt hold enough water. Even for my premature daughter, who was under 6 lbs when I brought her home from the hospital. It doesnt hold enough water, nor does it offer good head/neck support. What I really disliked about it was the openings at the hinges (where it folds). She would constantly get her little feet stuck in the holes. Owwie! I definately would NOT recommend this tub.

Perfect for traveling I recently took my one year old to visit some friends in another state. When we got there, we realized that her car did not have latch, and it was impossible to install the carseat securely. In fact, their daughter's seat was moving at least 4 inches, too! I immediately picked up a Mighty Tite and within 3 minutes installed my son's seat so tightly that I ran out and bought one for my friend. During the trip, I had to install his carseat in 3 other cars, all without difficulty and in less than 3 minutes due to the Mighty Tite. I must say, the LATCH on my car is incredibly convenient, but with the Mighty Tite, it is even more secure. I'll be using both, I am sure!

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

Must have!!! I love this diaper bag.....it's durable, large, has 2 nice size pockets for a nalgene size water bottle or babies bottle on both sides, a parent pocket for my wallet, What is best is it has options for how ever you want to carry it. For me I needed a backpack style so my hands could be free to hold one of my kids hand and carry the other. I pack heavy and there is always enough room for what I need plus more with this bag...but it still fits under my stroller in the basket. It is great for 1 baby or 2 toddlers plus my stuff. I am on my second one in 4 years of everyday use. I broke the zipper forcing it:( I am also very rough on stuff. I got couple other diaper bags over the years and have tried them, but they just don't compare. My husband loves it just as much as I do. I couldn't find the 07 model anywhere but amazon had it and for half the price.

Horrible product! This brush was a waste of money. I'm debating writing to the company. The sponge part started falling apart after only a few uses! I couldn't believe it. The brush is not long enough to comfortably wash the skinny 8 oz. bottles, so your palm will be sore, you can't even get a good grip on it.

Great bag! Survived airplane trip. This is a great, sturdy bag that holds our car seat as well as enough room for a few more things. I would highly recommend this bag if you're taking your car seat on the plane to be gate-checked. This way it stays clean, any toys on the seat stay on the seat, and it's just easier to handle. My husband says it's a little bit bulky and kinda uncomfy to have on your back, but it's much better than trying to carry it in your hands along with everything else.

Very secure, easy to install and easy to open This is a great gate. I installed it in minutes and I'm still surprised at how securely it is set at the bottom of our staircase. I have to jiggle it each time I go through just to check and there is absolutely no movement.It is very easy to open, even from up on a step. It requires just enough pressure from an adult foot to open it up but not so much that it makes it cumbersome when descending or ascending the stairs.My son (and his older cousins) cannot climb this gate which is wonderful. And they cannot open it or get it to budge. They've all given up trying!The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because, as others have mentioned, the opening is small. I'm 7 months pregnant and I have to carefully maneuver my way through the gate with my 14 month old on my hip so neither of us get hit by the side! They really should make the opening a bit more reasonable by adding a couple inches!

Love it! It's simple, classic looking and durable. Ice-cream spilled on it? No problem, it wipes clean. Folding is easy, it's a nice size, and it stays cool in the sun (making it a good cover for concrete). It fits a family of four for a picnic and two adults can easily stretch out on it.

Great monitor I love this monitor. We use it all the time, but just for the visual. The audio isn't great. We use another monitor for that. I would totally recommend this monitor to any parent. Before using this monitor I was only using an audio monitor. One day after putting my son down for a nap, I heard a little cough through the audio monitor. I thought my son might have been just stirring, but I went in to check. I found him lying on his back, as recommended for SIDS safety, choking on his own throw up. I immediately picked him up and tapped his back and he was breathing again. Imagining that I had never heard that little cough....I was terrified. Now that I have this camera monitor, I am so much more at ease. And if he does make a little noise I can look over to see what going on....It's great. Definately buy this monitor.

Overpriced luggage cart Let's face it. This is an overpriced luggage cart. I ordered this product, but after doing more research, I returned it. The base is plastic and it has to be stowed in an overhead bin on the airplane. If its a regional jet, it may not fit and have to be gate checked.After researching, I bought a regular, folding luggage cart with 751b limit for about $25. The cart even came with attached bungees. I looped the bungees through the forward facing belt path of my car seat(Britax Frontier) and it was solid. When my 3.5 yo got tired of walking, I strapped in his carseat and pulled him around on the cart. At security, I left the cart attached because my carseat is too large for the xray and has to be hand inspected anyway. After getting on the plane and installing my seat, I simply fold the cart down and place it under the seat in front of my child.Save your money and get a luggage cart.

works great this food organizer works great for jars. You can adjust the hight to fit different sizes of baby food jars. that is great. The only reason why I give it four stars and not five is that it doesn't accomodate the plastic containters (gerber food). We used both, containers and jars and therefore had to have two different stands.

THE BEST CAR SEAT My husband, and I LOVE this car seat. So does our baby girl. It is SO soft, and during the winter months it helped keep her snug, and warm. She LOVES to feel the different textures of the fabrics. The safety belt is soft too unlike some. After having used three different car seats for our other three children this by FAR has been the BEST one. It has style, convenience, and comfort, and it is EASY to install. It is not too heavy, and the colors are great. Also it is comfortable to carry. It is EASY to put baby in, and take out. The orange "Push" button on the safety belt is not TOO hard to push unlike some others we tried out at the store, and we love how the safety belt is designed to fit securely, and comfortably around baby. Our daughter is almost 9 months old, and weighs 17 pounds. It's almost time to buy a new one. We are planning on buying the Eddie Bauer Manchester 3 in one Elite Car Seat. I hope it lives up to the infant car seat! I would HIGHLY recommend this infant car seat!

Great Stroller for the price I've had this stroller for almost 2 years. It's great. I use it for streets and during my stroller class where it's a walk/jog situation. It glides and makes walking fun with your children. I've switched strollers with other moms who can't believe how great it is. You can't beat it for the price. I have friends who have bought the expensive ones and I don't regret my decision. The swivel wheel is fabo!The down side - I wish the canopy was larger. It doesn't sheild the children from the elements very well. A cup holder for mom and kiddos would be great. I bought one that goes to a bob's double stroller and it works well.It can tip over if the children decide to stand and lean backwards.

Not even worth 1 star... I only selected 1 star because it doesn't have a selection for 0. This is the WORST baby monitor ever. I am so sorry I didn't read these reviews earlier. The static will drive you insane! I used it for the first time last night, and after about 15 minutes I thought my husband was going to throw it out the window. The only way the static would go away is if I shut it off. I will be going to the store today to purchase a different one. If you have already purchased this item do yourself a favor and don't lose sleep... return it!

Too flimsy and unstable for child to feel secure enough to go to the bathroom This seat is very unstable. My son is more worried about falling than he is about going to the bathroom. I love the fact that the stool and chair are in one. I also like the fact that is was made in the usa, but I would not buy this again. I ended up with the bjorn seat and the potty stool stepper that cost $129. It tall enough and stable.

The Worst! I am a longtime Amazon buyer and a first time reviewer. I am also a Pampers Swaddlers devotee and so I thought, a fan of Pampers in general. I have since found that all Pampers are not created equal. I typically use Pampers Swaddlers in the day and Huggies Overnights at night for my 8 month old son - who is not by any means a "super soaker". I bought the Pampers Baby Dry because they had a good deal going, so I thought I would give them a try. With "12 hours of overnight protection", what's not to like? The first night I used these, I found my son's entire frontside wet in the morning. Okay, so it's hard to find a really good overnight disposable. Maybe I should have bought one size up from his usual. I thought, "I'll just use them during the day...". Well, after just 1 nap and about 3 hours in the diaper, again soaked. What a waste!

Waste of money This swadlers is very smelly and really bad diapers. I still have more than half left. My husband wants me throw away leftover ones. It gave my little one really bad diaper rash. I tryed everything to stop the rash. It stopped when i change the pampers to huggies. I think some babies ok with pampers. Some are not. All my friends happy with pampers. But not me. Also i figured out that back of the pampers is not stretchy and tight. So when baby has blowout. Everything will comeout in your baby's back and it will be mess to clean up your baby, onesie, and everything around it.

Leaky tub I wish I had reed the reviews before I registered for this tub. I got it at one of my showers and was so excited with all the features. I was in for a real shock when the first time I went to use it it leaked all over my counter and the floor. I have several friends who recieved the same tub, and had the same problem. I ended up get the the Sure Comfort Deluxe and loved it. My daughter loved to sit in it and take her bath

Great if your kid doesn't poop I bought the diaper champ because of the convenience of using regular garbage bags with it. It was great when my son was little and only doing breastmilk poop. But, once we started on solid foods and things got stinkier, so did the diaper champ. The whole bedroom stinks if you put a poopy diaper in the diaper champ. We still use it, but only for wet diapers. However, it is still better than the diaper genie which is completely useless!

It Broke Immediately We were very excited to order the Walking Wings for our 8 month old. As soon as it arrived, we wrapped the walking wings around him, velcroed and snapped it shut, and then went about our first "walk." After only 3 steps, my son stumbled forward a bit. His stumble caused one of the fabric straps on the Walking Wings to rip totally off - a clean break at the seam. Our son immediately fell to the ground. Luckily, the fall was not hard, as the other strap remained in place. However, other babies may not be so lucky. We had this product a total of 3 minutes before it broke and put our son in harms way. I would not waste the money.

Leaky!! The bottles were fine at first, but are now terribly leaky 3 weeks after I started using them!! Most of the breast milk in the bottles is wasted because of the leakiness. Waste of time and money!

Uncomfortable I have to admit that I never used the shower option, so that was not the problem. My son was not comfortable in the sling. He also outgrew the tub very quickly. He would kick his feet and hit the hard plastic that was raised up to hold the water sprayer. We ended up using an inexpensive foam bath cradle in the tub or sink, and that worked much better.

This Thing Stinks!!!!!!!!! This monitor is the worst product that I have ever bought!It only worked well for a week.(Just long enough for me to throw away the receipt) Now I have to turn the volume all the way up to barely hear anything. But of course you can always hear the static. Do NOT buy this monitor! Save yourself the frustration. Don't we have enough of that already?

Good Product--Description NEVER says it is intended to hold drinks for adults! My first baby is not here yet, but I have a Maclaren Volo and added this to it to give me some storage that is more accessible than the under-the-buggy mesh carrier. I test drove it in my house, and tried adding some items I figured will be essential. While it is not gigantic, I anticipate that it will hold what I need to while we do something like stroll the neighborhood or go to the mall. I like the organizer, and I don't have any complaints about it so far. Maybe the reality of having a baby in the stroller will change this; but, I am happy with it for now. The stroller can easily fold all the way down with the organizer still attached, and it looks like it will give me room for essentials without forcing me to dig around under the stroller to get items out of the basket.Interestingly enough, most of the bad reviews for this seem to ding the product for the lack of a cupholder for an adult size beverage. I don't know if the reviewers who wrote those reviews bothered to actually read the product description. Had they read the description that is available as of my posting time, then they would have plainly seen that this product is not advertised as something that is designed to hold cups with beverages for adults. It says it holds bottles! Clearly, a baby bottle is not the same size and shape as a Big Gulp, a fast food soda cup, or a Starbucks cup.:) My husband is very handy, and he will probably add a separate cupholder for me before I do much strolling with the Mac. I scored the organizer for a sweet price when it was on sale. I read the product description before ordering, so I was not expecting to receive a product to hold a drink from a fast food company or a mall food court restaurant. If you are looking for a product that does that, then skip this or buy and attach a separate cupholder designed for adult beverages.:)

Terrible product, leaks over half the time We ran out of Earths Best and so I got some of these at Walgreens to hold us over. I am simply shocked that these diapers leak very badly over half the time. I was expecting these to perform better than Earths Best simply because they've been in business for so much longer and can use all the fancy chemicals. That was not the case at all. I can't believe these diapers are still on the market. It's like they have holes in them. Our son does like the Elmo image, though.

very cute for a toddler not just a baby We decorated our nursery gender nutrual (Wirligig Theme) and are now expecting baby #2. So we are moving my son into a "Big Boy" room and are using the Locomotion theme. I love this border, it is really cute and not so babish. It should last him until school age. It kind of has a country feel to it and works nicely with our home's overall decore. We painted the walls a creamy yellow on top and a denium blue on the bottom with the border mid-way up the wall. The border went up fairly easily, though it did take a few minutes for the paste to start sticking so after wetting you need to wait a few minutes before trying to hang it. We had no problems matching up any seems but because the repeat is so long you may need to buy extra to make sure you can keep the pattern going in the right order. We also have the Locomotion vallance and throw pillow. My only wish is that there was a toddler bed set not just the crib one but we plan to just buy a plain denium toddler bed set and use the throw pillow to tie it together.

Unsafe This lid lock was in use for less than one week in our home when my baby pulled on it once and it broke. The plastic hinge literally cracked and the plastic bolts fell to the floor. So not only did I have a wide open toilet that he could play in, now I had choking hazards all over the floor. I will definitely be calling this company to complain--how can they claim to keep my child safe if their product creates an additional hazard?

Wish I had found this system sooner! The only bottles my daughter would take were the Playtex Original Nursers. I am pumping at work with a Medela Pump in Style, so I was pumping into the Medela bottles and then we were transfering the milk into the Playtex Drop-ins to feed her. It was a hassle and I never felt like all of the milk, especially the fat, made it from the Medela bottles into the Drop-ins. And then I heard about this kit and bought two immediately - I have been so happy with being able to pump directly into the Drop-ins. The only downside: you have to buy at least two kits if you double pump.

Not that we needed another Huggies vs. Pampers review, but I HAD TO pitch in When we had our first baby everyone we knew told us we had to get Pampers Swaddlers and nothing else. Even though they were one of the most expensive diapers we gave in. While absolutely loving Swaddlers we tried a couple of others - Target brand, Huggies and LUVs - all were hard and leaky. When the time came to upgrade to size 3 (Swaddlers only go up to size 2) I went into detailed research. We bought a bag of Huggies and Pampers Cruisers and went through a week of thorough testing (lots of opportunities for leaks). While neither leaked, Huggies were very rough on our son and the snappers/velcro things gave him an instant rash. The ruffles around the legs to keep the leaks were also very loose and I was very surprised nothing actually leaked out. We then switched to Cruisers for a week and while they are not as soft and great-fitting as Swaddlers, they are BY FAR better than Huggies. Maybe we were spoiled from the beginning with the softness of Swaddlers, but we are now never going back, even though the Subscrive & Save deal is now over on Pampers. Though, oddly enough we just bought the same pack of 160 Cruisers at BRUs for $30.95 - I thought Amazon would be cheaper.

Compatible with Other Avent Items In the midst of all of my bottle testing, I was against Avent, mostly because they do cost a bit more than most bottles. I thought that I could test a bottle and cup, to see if Avent was really telling the truth when they said all the parts were interchangeable. Well, they are. They also have more nipple selections, depending on how fast your child drinks.One thing I wish Avent has was a design or something on the bottle. I did find that if you buy the Evenflo Cool Pals 6 oz. cup holder, these fit in them great.I would suggest only getting one or two packs of these. Your baby is going to outgrow them quickly. You may also want to get some Avent sealing disks. Then, you can use these bottles as storage containers without having to spend the extra money.

dont depend on this gate for protection I have had my gate for about two mo. My 15 mo old son is only 2" taller than the gate and he can scale it with ease. I bought the gate for its height and sturdyness but never imagined he could climb it. the gate has a perfect step in the hole in the middle it makes it very easy to escape. I am returning my gate and finding one that does not have foot holes that help childrens scale the gate...

Love it!! I bought this for my son when he was 2 months old, although he was too young to really enjoy a lot of the features he still loved to lay and look in the mirror. Now at 3 months he is enjoying more of the features, I have arranged the toys across one of the arches and lay him under on his back, he is content for a long time just cooing at the animals. I like that you can remove the toys - that way you can take with you if baby has a favorite. All in all, a great toy. He seems to like it more and for different reasons all the time.

I like bags too!!! They are messy when they opened. I get milk on my hands and they cost way too much. I don't have much room in my freezer. when you buy the refills you have to purchase the tops and the containers seperate... it's like $17 for ten :-(

Only good as spit/burp clothes These are fine for what I bought them for, burp clothes, etc. But I can't imagine anyone being able to use these as actual diapers. They feel as thin as cheese cloth. They also got even flimsier after the first wash.

A must have!! We have gotten a lot of mileage out of this warmer. When my daughter was a newborn, it was perfect for storing bottles and keeping them cold for late night feedings. Now I use it to warm bottles while I change her diaper. A great product!!

Love these leaky bottles! My husband and I agree that our daughter hasn't had a problem going back and forth between Avent and breast. The only problem we have had is that they leak just about every time that we use them unless we wet the nipple in hot water immediately before inserting it into the nipple ring and then immediately serving the bottle. Otherwise, our six month old loves Avent!

Great product We only use Pampers. They're what works best on my daughter. They never leak.My only gripe with them is that if the diaper gets too full, the tabs on the sides cut into her upper thighs. This used to happen constantly, even when the diaper wasn't full, and she had lots of tiny cuts in her hips/upper thighs. But now, I guess the diaper fits better on her, so it doesn't happen that much anymore.

Only baby bottle nipple my breastfed baby will use When I went back to work after 5+ months of maternity leave, my baby had no interest in drinking from a bottle. The babysitter had to spoon feed milk to her. I tried almost every other bottle and nipple on the market except for the Adiri Breastbottle Nurser - Baby Bottle. The babysitter discovered that she preferred rubber nipples over silicon ones because they are softer, but she didn't like the shape of other brands, so it was still a struggle to try to get her to drink from a bottle during the day. I was so worried about my baby until I finally found thePlaytex Bottle 4-oz. Drop-Ins - 100-ct.. The nipple is very wide and shaped more naturally than other bottles. I replaced the silicon nipples that are included with the bottles with this rubber nipple and she finally drinks from the bottle and still breastfeeds whenever I am home. The drop-in bags turned out to be a great benefit of the bottles also. And because the bottle is lightweight and has a hollow bottom, my baby can easily hold the bottle to drink by herself.

Wet, wet, wet. I'm really glad I only bought three of these! They were so highly rated that I even bought the matching cover, but I did not like them at all. After only a couple of hours the diaper was soaked through and I mean through! The cover had to be washed as well since the diaper was so thoroughly soaked. That wasn't the worst, though, because I wouldn't mind changing her more often, but the wet was held against her skin all throughout the diaper, even above her legs at the snaps! No wicking at all and I know she was really uncomfortable. Plus at 10 lbs this diaper already seemed too small for her, or very soon would be. Don't waste your money- go for the Bum Genius with the free Super Saver Shipping- it's worth the extra $ by far.

Not a good pacifier. This seems like such a good idea, but my daughter hated these pacifiers. They were always snapping shut on her, and the closures seemed to press into her face and not be comfortable. I offered them over and over, but finally gave up. I found one in the car months later that I'd left there for an emergency, and I offered it again, but she still couldn't keep it in her mouth.

Love it! Our son is 3 months now and we use the Graco Pack-n-Play every day! The Bassinet is a great feature. Our son takes about 3-4 naps in it daily and just loves it, he wakes up happy and just stares at the little bear mobile above him. Having the diaper changing platform is truly fabulous as well, along with the side holder, I use to hold extra diapers and butt paste. Only con for me is the music on the mobile....its a wind up and it doesn't stay on very long. I would have prefered to place a battery in it for longer music play time, but that's the only con. We haven't traveled with it yet so I can't speak to its portablility but it was super easy to put together and take down. I'd buy this this product for any of my family or friends.

Worth It I transport 3 children in carseats in my vehicle. I have 3 Mighty Tights. The two side passenger seat belts only lock when breaking quickly. The Mighty Tight is the product that I have found works when installed properly. It's quick, easy and secures the carseat very tightly. The metal clips that come with the car seat are difficult to use and don't secure the carseat near as tightly as a Mighty Tight.

Not so natural afterall We were considering these wipes until we found that some of the ingredients are considered to cause allergies and other health problems. The product title is somewhat misleading "naturally refreshing" has nothing to do with natural ingredients. Buyer beware![...]

Not too happy this time We had the same pail with our first kid. It sustained for 1.5 years and then despite changing the odor remover, it was not very effective. However, we thought it performed quite well for a cheap pail. However, when we bought our second pail, we were not too happy. It doesnt close properly and keeps opening with a loud noise at times (some times an hour after closing).

I wish I had gotten it sooner I tried another sling before this one, and my baby hated being in it most of the time and it was really uncomfortable for me too. So I gave up on the sling idea for a while. I really wish I had found this one sooner. Once you figure it out, it's really easy to use, I put it on in half a minute. And my now 6 month old baby loves being in it. Since it's made of mostly cotton it's comfortable for the summer (I stopped using our front carrier because it got too hot with it).I was worried that because it hangs on only one shoulder, it would be uncomfortable but if you wear it right and spread the fabric across your back it doesn't put any pressure on your shoulder, it distributes the weight well. And I'm really happy that I don't have to secure a bunch of buckles like with the front carrier.I can also do a lot more stuff with this sling than with the other one or the carrier, because my baby feels more secure and doesn't get in the way. I do feel my baby is happier and a lot less fussy since I wear him for a considerable time each day.I'll be travelling abroad next week alone with my baby and I'm sure this will make my life easier since I can go through security without having to take him out of the sling. I'm even thinking about leaving the stroller at home! Just a checked bag, the diaper bag and baby in the sling! Well I may take the stroller but mainly to use it as a lugagge cart :-)I love the patterns too, I'm thinking about getting another one from the sale on the company website, so I'll have different colors to match my outfits. I used the sizing chart and selected the sixe 2, which fits perfectly. I may get another one in size 3 for the winter though, so we'll both fit with all the winter clothing on us.Breastfeeding in the sling is the one thing I haven't figured out yet, it seems complicated and a little akward, I guess I have to practice more.

They stink...literally! Everything about these washcloths is great, except the smell! They stink, Huggies should be ashamed of themselves for putting out such a stinky product, don't all mothers want their babies to smell sweet?! Well with these, your babies will smell like plastic! The Johnson and Johnson brand smell better, but the actual washcloth isn't the greatest, Huggies smell horrible but the actual washcloth is better than J&J.

HEAVY! This car seat has great, user friendly features. It has an easy to use base with easy to use LATCH system. The strap adjustment is very easy - you just use a slider to move them up or down. The only bad part (besides how ridiculously expensive it is!) is that it is like carrying a boat anchor around (without your child in the seat!). Try a Chicco instead!

"Dry Max" Cruisers are Horrible! I loved the old Pampers Cruisers, but the new "Dry Max" ones are awful. I've had leaks, which I've reported to Customer Service. They acted as if they were unaware of how many unhappy consumers there were, despite complaints all over the internet. When my baby wore these overnight, the dye... or something else from the diaper... stained the inside of her light-colored sleeping pants. Also, her diaper area looks irritated, which is not usual for her. After hearing about the CPSA investigation into this diaper, I am switching immediately to a different brand. I'm really disappointed with Pampers, and in Proctor & Gamble for their lack of attentiveness to customer complaints.
