Smells
Comfy but doesn't stay in place. It stains and smells sour after seven months and washing it doesn't solve the problem. I let it air dry after every use but the odor is permanent. It isn't worth the price and now I have to find something else. | 0negative

I'm a fan!
Great product - eco friendly, made in the USA, and free of harmful chemicals for children, pets, and adults. PLUS it's cute and functional. Even though there are many complaints about it being too thin or bunching up I would suggest velcro-ing it or adding a thin strip of of something heavier along the underside of the edges. All in all I recommend this. | 1positive

Uncomfortable!
I was suffering with severe groin pain during my pregnancy, so I purchased this belt hoping to find relief. I found this belt to be very uncomfortable. The elastic is so rough,it irritated me all day. Also the straps that go over your shoulders come up so high you are very limited on shirt options without the bands showing. Also, I had seen that it runs small and to order asize up, so I did. The band still cut into my lower ribs around my waist. By the end of the day I couldn't wait to take it off! I wore it once, then found a different support band and am much more comfortable now. | 0negative

PICTURE PERFECT...just not perfect.
The stroller had all the physical attributes I wanted in a stroller. I have a six month and 20 month old baby. The following features are why I purchased this beautiful stroller-5 pt harness-great basket space-cool color scheme-individal recline and canopyHowever, the 5 pt harness is detatchable by any active child. My 20 month old just had to wiggle to take it off. The stickers came off the first day. And the parent cup kept falling apart. The snack tray closure was not as sturdy as I thought it would be. And there was too much slack on the turn. It felt like there was delay, and for the price I expected it to be seamless. | 0negative

Product quality has gone down
We'd purchased this mattress back in 2009 for our Dream-On-Me 2 in 1 Portable crib for our firstborn and it fitted perfectly! It was a great mattress, not too soft or too hard, without any spaces between the crib and the mattress. When we moved from Hawaii back to the mainland, we gave the crib and mattress away to a friend.When we were expecting our second baby, we decided to go with a mini crib again. I looked up the crib and mattress via my old Baby Registry, and after re-reading the description that says this mattress is an inch longer than the others, I went ahead and ordered the same crib and mattress. This time though I was really disappointed with the mattress, there's about 1.5" of space between the crib and mattress length-wise! If that wasn't bad enough, the mattress is much softer than it used to be, we've had it for five months, and my 4 month old baby leaves a dent in it and that's just from him laying and sleeping on it since he's not mobile yet.I don't know what happened to the quality of the mattress in 3 years but I would NOT recommend purchasing this mattress. I am currently looking into purchasing a different mattress for our mini crib...especially when my baby learns to roll over or scoot. | 0negative

Absolutely Fabulous
I wanted something different for our baby-girl and when I saw Wendy Bellissimo's line at a babyfair I loved it immediately. I even waited with registering till it became available. I was very lucky to get it at my shower, it is a bit expensive, but worth every penny. I couldn't wait to see how it looked on our (pink!) crib and it looks beautiful. Everyone just loves it! We ended up getting a lot of other things from the Vintage Teaberry line, like the little chair with slipcover, the receiving blanket, changingtable covers and extra sheets. And I just picked up the swaddle blanket. My husband even likes everything too, especially the chair. It is great how everything looks so well matched. The only thing we still really want is the mobile, but the release date keeps changing and that is the only negative commend we have, since it's a bit annoying. (And somebody got us the hamper, but we are still waiting for that to be released too.) | 1positive

Leaks???
These are simply the best bottles. As far as the leaks go...you probably have the cap screwed down TOO tight...that is what happened to us...loosen it a little and voila...no more leaks. | 1positive

Colors slightly different / belt straps don't fit through the holes
The quality of the changing pad is fine, but the colors are SLIGHTLY off from the rest of the set which I didn't understand. If you are ordering this to match other items from the nursery, you'll notice that the colors look a little different eg. olive green polka dots instead of lime green, etc. I purchased another one from another vendor (since I needed a backup anyway) thinking that the colors would match, however, there was no difference. In addition, if you are looking to use it on a standard changing pad cushion, the belt straps do not easily fit through the holes so you may have to rip into the fabric a little to get it in. | 0negative

Excellent!
Great idea and very safe! My 7 month old daughter loves to eat fresh fruit from this feeder and I am assured that she won't choke on any small pieces. I find that it cleans up very easily as long as I wash it immediately. It's been a great way to introduce my baby to fresh food without the worry. The one thing I have found is that you need to completely fill the mesh bag up with the fruit or vegetable, or baby has a hard time holding it without it "flopping" over. But I still rate this 5 stars! | 1positive

Swaddling simplified
This wrap really does make it easier to swaddle your baby - moreover, it makes it harder for the swaddling to come undone, saving you time and effort. At such a reasonable price, it's worth getting two so you'll always have a clean one on hand. One thing to note about size: We have both a fleece wrap and a cotton wrap. Even though they're both the same size, the fleece wrap is a bit smaller than the cotton wrap, especially in terms of the "wings." We use the fleece wrap at the very end of the velcro tabs on my daughter now (she weighs 11 pounds), while with the cotton wrap there is still plenty of room for when she gets bigger. Lengthwise, though, they're about the same, and at 22 1/2 inches, she can now kick her legs out of the wraps if she really tries. | 1positive

Broke very quickly
This product was pretty loud, which is tolerable for the price, but it broke after only a few uses and bruised my breasts. | 0negative
|
Why can't you wash this??
The pillow provides decent support for the baby while feeding, but only allows for spot cleaning. And let's face it. Spilled milk and spit up need to be thoroughly washed from the material. I am going to have to buy a washable cover. Might as well have bought a slightly more expensive pillow. | 0negative
|
Colors vary more than advertised
"Colors may vary: Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange." I received a bright pink cup. Pretty color, but the cup is for my son so it's going back. Can't speak for the product itself, I have heard great things about the cups. Apparently they are hard to find, even on Amazon! :( | 0negative

Not what I expected, Overpriced for what it is
The description says "solid wood/wood products" - but it's mainly "wood products" AKA particle board. It smells and needed time to off-gas, not exactly what I was hoping for in a baby's room. There were several dings in the wood finish when we received it and several more created in assembly, despite using utmost care to try and put it together without damage. We were missing two parts for assembly as well, two drawer bottoms. My husband just want to Home Depot to buy something suitable since we didn't trust contacting this company for support since the claim about the product wasn't entirely accurate. This won't be a long-lasting piece, that much is certain. It seems like it should have been worth about $100 off the shelf at a local big box store. We were disappointed. | 0negative

Love the co-sleeper!
We had a bassinet style bed for our baby at first and it was a lot of work to get out of bed to feed, check-on, or sooth the baby. With the co-sleeper we simply rolled over, but the baby still had its own space (and so did we). We have a low, European style bed frame with no box spring and the mini-Euro was just the right height. I wouldn't use anything else those first few months! I do wish fitted sheets were easier to find. I had to order them online. | 1positive

Too Rough
I really didn't like these liners. I bought them because I read some good reviews, but they felt so rough, almost like paper towels. I ended up ordering more Bummis Bio-Soft liners, because the Imse Vimse ones just felt so hard and rough against my poor boy's bottom. | 0negative

The only one to try
I didn't get this carrier right off the bat because it was so expensive. I was having a hard time justifying the expense, when we didn't really go to many places that we needed a carrier.We were given a hand me down Snuggli and the contraption was such a pain to get into and out of (FOR ME!! NEVER MIND MY DAUGHTER!!)and it made my back hurt so badly that I gave it away and said I'd carry her first! Then we scheduled a trip to the zoo, and we wanted our daughter to be able to see all the animals instead of being in a stroller, so I just broke down and bought the Baby Bjorn because of all the great reviews it got.WHAT A DIFFERENCE DESIGN MAKES!!! I could get in and out of this by myself (my husband had to put the Snuggli on me, for crying out loud) and I could get my 18 lb. daughter into it with no problems either. It also seemed to provide her with a lot more support, and it took an entire afternoon before I even started feeling the effects of carrying her!This thing's the BEST! And we use it all the time!! | 1positive

Not happy
When we had our first child, now we're going on 4, we had to have the diaper genie. I was thrilled to receive it at my shower. Once we used it, we realized it wasn't all it was supposed to be. We'd open the lid, and Yuk! What a smell. All that twisting the diapers up, and ripping plastic, and running out of the refills. Wasn't worth the money. We now keep a trash can outside our back door to throw dirty diapers in, it takes just as long to toss them outside and costs no extra. Or we've found that tying them in a plastic shopping bag works just as well. | 0negative

GREAT BABY JUMPER
I got this used from a friend, or I would have gotten it from a consignment store, because it's a little pricey. However, my son spent hours in this jumper and it was by far his favorite. I also had a doorway jumper, but that one was always in the way. This one I could put wherever I wanted, and although it takes up a good bit of room, it does fold up to put away when not in use. He stood in it, rocked in it, jumped, played with the toys/lights on front, even watched some TV in it. He got in every morning from about 4 months until he was ready to walk. We have some great video of him jumping wildly in it! It's pretty durable, the height adjusts, and it was easy to remove the toy part on front to replace the batteries or clean. | 1positive

The BEST Baby Gate!
This is the best baby gate I have ever used. The Hands free design is a life saver for a high traffic area like where I have it at. And the pressure mounting saves my walls! It is one of the sturdiest gates you will ever find also. I have 2 large dogs that like to jump on it and a little one who likes to shake it and not to mention all the times my husband and I have run into it. But it doesnt' move even the tiniest bit!! It is so safe and secure! | 1positive

NIPPLE SHIELD
My wife has inverted nipples and had 24 mm shields for our newborn child and they did not work very well we switched to a smaller shield (20MM) and had great success with breastfeeding the baby both mom and baby were happy with my purchase | 1positive

Great bottle
I have used this system for 9 weeks now. The bottle will leak if you do not tighten the ring enough or correctly - I test shake before I feed and if its wrong I unscrew and reseat the nipple. My daughter has less gas with these bottles than with the Playtex bottles I tried. If your child gags as one reviewer commented you need a slower nipple. I use the standard nipples and not the adjustable flow nipples. I have the adapter system that allows me to pump into the bottle and I like the convenience of being able to cap that bottle when done and refrigerator it until feeding time. These bottles do well in the dishwasher and clean up easily. | 1positive

This is a must have for your baby - Mom in CT
My daughter loves the Jumperoo. We received it as a baby shower gift and when she turned 4 months we put her in it. At first she didn't really like it and her feet barely touched the floor but after a week, she was going crazy in it. She gets so excited and her legs are getting very strong. She will stat in the Jumperoo for a solid 30 minutes playing. I strongly recommend. | 1positive

The perfect gate! -- Updated 2.5 Years later
This gate is a definite must-have. It is sturdy and extremely easy to install--it only took ten minutes to get up and working including the time it took to get it out of the box. The hands-free aspect is a wonderful feature as this gate is in my kitchen doorway and I'm always going in and out with baby, groceries, etc. The foot pedal requires a great deal of pressure to trigger the release--easy enough to apply by stepping on it, but my 22 pound daughter has sat on the pedal and has not managed to open this gate by herself. I was a little bit worried that the pressure mounts would not hold the gate in place, but my daughter has pulled herself up, rattled and tugged, and it hasn't budged even with the extension add-on. I have gone through at least two other types of gates and this is my favorite by far in terms of quality, strength, ease of use, and ease of install.**UPDATE** Two and a half years after writing the above review in July 2004 I stand even more firmly by what I originally wrote. Every other gate I bought has broken, been disassembled then wouldn't go back together properly, or was no longer strong or difficult enough to stop my child as they grew older/bigger. This gate uninstalled then reinstalled easily when I moved. The foot pedal still requires more pressure than my child can handle on their own so it continues to be a usable gate in my household. Most importantly--being in a high traffic area this gate has been used/locked/unlocked/walked through easily thousands, literally thousands, of times in the three years since I bought it and it is still in PERFECT working condition and is just as good as the day I bought it. I cannot recommend this gate more highly. | 1positive

Gotta Love Pampers!
As a first time mom I've tried most of the different brands of diapers and Pampers are by far my favorite! And buying them in bulk from Amazon is the way to go. | 1positive

itchy
My 4 1/2 year old daughter refused to wear these because they were too itchy. I have to agree with her - they are not nearly as soft and comfortable feeling as the Underjams. I had tried these hoping they would be slimmer profile and less obvious, which I think maybe they are, but uncomfortable is a show-stopper for my kid. Underjams are soft and absorbent. | 0negative

A must for all parents!
I don't understand why this product is not more well known. This ointment works like a dream. Within one day you see immediate results and by day 3 you would never know there was any kind of diaper rash. My sister gave me samples of this ointment because all her physical therpist friends swore by it and they knew about it because it was used in hospitals for wound treatment. Check out the website for more info. I give this out to all my pregnant friends! | 1positive

MY DAUGHTER GIVES IT ALL HAPPY SPIT BUBBLES
This is a great toy. My daughter loves the hanging toys. They can be moved around,and toys can be added. I bought mine off of ebay for half the price including shipping and was in PERFECT SHAPE. No matter the price it is well worth it. The musical star has many settings, lights up and my daughter loves it and laughs all the time.She has been on it since 2months and she is now 5months. It is nice and soft, as well as the toys and pillow.She is able to pull and twist herself around on it using the dome like bars,I have no worry of something falling on her.She responded to the bright colors very early on.I could go on and on, I wish this was around when my now 7yr old son was a baby. I think this item beats any of the FisherPrice toys in this catagory. | 1positive

WASTE OF MONEY
These bags are a waste of money. Yes they can stand on own when filled with milk but takes up to much room in the freezer. Due to the shape of the bag and remaining space when filled to the 5oz line they are unable to lay flat. I would recommend the Lansinoh storage bags they can hold up to 6ozs of milk, lay flat in the freezer and are cheaper than the medela brand.The time you spend trying to be careful when removing the adapter that you pump directly in can be spent just simply transfering the milk from bottle to bag. Save your money and don't buy this item unless you have money to waste. | 0negative

product arrived with a hole in it!
I would love to write a good review about the cute little duck bath tub, but it arrived with a visible hole in it!So i can't comment on the functionality of it when water is placed into it:( so we purchased a different animal bathtub. Oh! the beak quacks though... | 0negative

Good potty seat
I like this potty seat b/c you can adjust it to fit your toilette and not worry about it sliding around while your child is on the toilette. It is also easy to clean. It may not be as cushy as some but my daughter doesnt seam to mind using it. | 1positive

Quality is terrible
These are the worst diapers that I have ever used. They leak after only 2-3 hours of use. If someone was to give me a case of these I would give them away. I have used no name brands that have stood up better than these. Do not waste your money on these diapers! | 0negative

Ok...
The mobile is ok (at best). You definitely have to have the right crib for it to fit. We had to tie it on with matching fabric b/c it wouldn't fit around the rail. Also, the arm is white plastic. Hopefully you like the look of plastic put together looking like a puzzle...it's definitely not high quality...but if you're a big enough fan, you'll stick with it for fear of being a "fair weather fan"!!!! | 0negative

Overpriced for what it is...
If my brother hadn't had his heart set on this, I'd have gone for something less expensive and better quality. I'm not sure why 3 poorly silkscreened skull and crossbones should add $20 to the price from the regular bags and it's annoying that it's made in China, with little cost in fabric and labor. | 0negative

Gave my baby a rash!
We had been using pampers sensitive swaddlers since birth but when baby hit size 2 figured we would use up the pack of size 2 baby dry's we recieved as a shower gift..well within the first day of use my baby got a horrible diaper rash!So bad that her skin is bleeding and cracking :(..They even feel cheaper...way more of a plastic type feel to them. I do not reccomend! | 0negative

Safe & Secure!
We have a very tall staircase, with two separate entrances at the bottom. It imperative for us to find a tall, safe, and secure gate. This one did the trick. We installed it at the top of our stairwell. It stands as tall as our wood bannister rails, so there is no chance of my child trying to crawl over it... or an adult for that matter.I will admit there are some drawbacks: 1)The alarm, which for security purposes is worth its weight in gold, can be somewhat of a hindrance. There is a button you press to disarm the alarm for 10 seconds so that you can pass through. However, 10 seconds is not enough time to pass through the gate before the alarm rearms and sounds. Also, if you have not closed the gate securely, then the alarm will sound... again a great feature when you think about it. If it is really annoying, you could just take the batteries out and not use the alarm system. 2) The gates lock is a metal bolt that hooks into the plastic locking mechanism. If installed proberly, it hooks very securely, but its noisy when done. It sounds like your opening a metal gate outside (like a dog pen). So trying to get through the gate at midnight, without waking the household is impossible.. even if you have the alarm disarmed. 3) The directions for this gate were confusing... even for an experienced carpenter. We had to reinstall it 3x for the whole thing to line up correctly... no big deal if your installing into drywall, but we were installing into a beautiful wood banister... which is now full of holes! 4) Another problem we had, were the screws provided. They are cheap screws (all baby gates come with cheap screws we found). They assume you're installing into drywall. If you install into wood... GO BUY SOME GOOD CARPENTRY SCREWS FIRST! The ones provided will strip.The finished outcome however is that for all it's idiosyncrasies, this is the best gate that we found anywhere! It's tall and secure, so I have absolutely no fear of letting my infant cruise around the upstairs, nor of getting the gate open, or crawling over it! If it is installed properly, and inline correctly, you'll have no problem getting through the gate. My guess is, that the others that wrote in to comment that they had to use their feet to open the gate, or that they couldn't open it one handed, did not have installed properly. We didn't either at first. Once we aligned it properly, it was great! | 1positive

Much better than the original
WOW WOW WOW...this diaper genie is SO much easier to use than the old one. I always had a hard time putting in the refills in the old one and had to have my husband do it. This one is so easy I was able to empty it and put in a refill all by myself on the first try. Definitely worth the money. My daughter is still an infant and doesn't have smelly poops yet so I can't comment on how it seals the smell, but this is the best diaper pail ever. What I also like is that as the current bag is coming to an end, there is a red line that shows up on the bag to let you know you will need to replace the bag soon. It reminds me of a receipt from a store when the paper is coming to an end. Great idea! | 1positive

Great Diaper

Jogging Stroller
I purchased the InStep stroller for my granddaughter. It only took a few minutes to attach the wheels,canopy, etc. It maneuvers easily and looks great. Cup holders/trays for the adult and child. The underside storage basket is very roomy. The easy collapse lever works well and it collapses easily for transporting. A great price was a bonus. | 1positive

Get a different Graco model!
We got the Graco carseat because of its high safety rating. However, we're very disappointed with certain features of the seat - ones, that as new parents, we didn't even consider.1. First - and most ridiculous - is how uncomfortable the seat is. Who would want to sit in something so hard? The cover is cute but extremely thin - especially compared to other models - such that our baby's feet practically kick into the hard metal plate beneath him. Same with the tush area! It's so hard! We tried putting a diaper cloth to soften it somewhat. Our baby is miserable in it.2. Second - also a pain is how hard it is to squeeze the handle in order to move it up and down. You need hands of steel to get that plastic moving.3. Third, from an aesthetic standpoint, Graco could have done a better job, like other competitors, and closed the molding of the handle so its not just raw exposed plastic.These complaints are all certainly reasons to buy a more recent model at the very least in hopes that they might have resolved such issues. So investigate thoroughly before buying!! | 0negative

NOT GOOD FOR BABIES OVER A FEW MONTHS OLD
This tub is great for newborns, but after baby starts to sit up it becomes very uncomfortable. The bump near the bottom is too high causing his legs to be bent up, like frog legs, which makes it too difficult for baby to sit up or recline properly. I would not recommend this tub at all. Also, the fold up feature is useless, how often will you be folding up the tub, when you usually bath baby everyday and it needs time to dry before folding up anyway. | 0negative

Ineffective at best
Ordered the cream and it does nothing to control rosacea. It is ineffective at best or sometimes it seemed it made the condition worse. Disappointed :( | 0negative

DO NOT USE THESE
I have been using these for quite some time. For some reason I decided to smell the inside of the bag. There is a strong plastic odor inside the bag. I put some water in one and froze it. Then I thawed it as I would milk for my son. The water absorbed the odor and tasted funny. I have about thirty bags left in the package and am throwing them out. Who knows what chemicals are leaching into the liquid inside. In addition, I noticed that the packaging states "Packaged and printed in the USA"...but where is the actual plastic used to make the bag made??? | 0negative

Brandon's mommy
We originally bought the blue blanket and our 3 month old son and LOVED it, so decided to buy another blanket to use as back up when the other is being washed. These blankets are SO SOFT, durable, and wash VERY WELL. I only wish they made them big enough for adults to use! If you need a great blanket I highly suggest buying this! | 1positive

DID NOT WORK!!
I bought this product despite several reviews that said it did not work well. I have twin boys that are 4 months old who loves lights and sounds. I thought this product would be a great addition to several other crib toys I have for them. Since we do have twins, I am quite picky on what I buy for them. I choose toys that I think both boys will enjoy as buying two of everything can get expensive. I had this product added to my wish list for a long time in the hopes of one day purchasing it. When I finally got around to ordering the product, I could not wait to receive it and see if my twins enjoyed it. Once it arrived my husband and I put brand new batteries in the product and to our suprise it did not work at all!!! We tried other batteries thinking it just may be the batteries and it still did not work. We even went as far as having family members trying to get it to worth thinking maybe we were simply overly tired parents. I wish I could say better things about this product as the description was exactly what I was looking for in a crib toy. Not only didn't it work well, but in our case it didn't work at all!!! I will be returning the product in the hopes of having my money refunded. | 0negative

Extremely... O.K.
The wipes warmer is a great idea. In theory.But I washed that pad in the washing machine, soaked it with distilled water every time, rotated the wipes, etc. etc. Seems like we all did everything we were supposed to do. And the pad still gets brown and the wipes are dry.The top lid doesn't latch, and that seems to be why the wipes dry out (not because of warming).This product is great for the first few days. You're much better off with the plastic pop-top container you can buy wipes in. Then just warm the wipes in your hands. | 0negative

Very impressive, will definitely buy again if the need arises
We needed something to keep our Boston Terrier off our expensive leather furniture in the living room, so I got this after shopping around reading various reviews. I was not disappointed. When you install this gate properly, it is extremely sturdy and feels like it could hold up to quite alot of abuse from a large dog or child without budging an inch. I highly recommend you install it in a doorway so the pressure mount will be against solid wood or something of the sort. If you set this up on drywall without knowing where a stud is, you'll probably damage your walls.The one catch is the instructions are very oddly arranged, with the directions in multiple languages in one part, and the corresponding diagrams in a totally different section, so you end up flipping back and forth trying to comprehend it all. Despite that, the directions are actually pretty sound and rather well written, it just takes a little time to comprehend. Don't let the this discourage you though, the effort is well worth it. It also comes with 2 extensions in the box, which came in handy for me. The walk-thru opening is wide enough for a large adult to walk through without a problem, we've actually even had moving men walk through it while carring a king-size mattress with no problem. The bar at the bottom that you have to step over is pretty low and out of the way, we've never had anyone trip on it. The the handle and locking mechanism is a little tricky and took a few tries to understand, but once you do, you can open it with ease.All in all, I think this gate is fantastic and I highly recommend it. | 1positive

Adhesive problems
I emailed Pampers MONTHS ago and never even received a response. We have been devoted Pampers customers from the beginning (my son is 2 1/2) and I was horrified to see that there was some "adhesive" on the baby side of the diaper. It irritated his skin and in that same huge box, several (a dozen or more) diapers had the same problem.I am so disappointed, particularly with no response from their customer service. | 0negative

Great stroller!!
OK, so if you want a stroller that you can pop the car seat in and out of this is it! Folds up nice, packs well and is light. Wish we would have had it for our first child but had to learn the hard way! | 1positive

Just get a mirror, light not worth it
Great idea, just a few gliches. Light must be in the "on" position to work so you have to remember to turn it on at night. Remote control only works half the time and light only stays on for about 5 seconds, too short for me. Also light must attach to car seat base and it gets in the way when you're putting baby seat in it. I discovered reaching up and turning on my dome light in the car is just as effective and a lot easier. Mirror works great and gives me peace of mind to see that my baby is doing okay. Save a few bucks and just buy a mirror. | 0negative

Youngest grandchild's Christmas Present!
My Daughter-in-law did enormous researching on all baby car seats. Shefelt that this car seat was absolutely the best one for her only child!She asked if I could get it for her for Christmas; which I certainly did.I know my youngest grandchild will be totally safe and protected in this seat.

I used to use the more expensive Pampers Cruisers but thought I'd try the Baby-Dry to save some money. I bought a pack at a local store first to make sure the fit and performance was good. I liked them just fine. Nice stretchy tabs, much like the Cruisers. So I ordered from Amazon. I ordered three cases to take advantage of a promotion Amazon was running. But the diapers I received must be old stock, before Pampers put the "flex" stretchy sides on the Baby-Dry diapers. The older expiration dates on the Rewards code confirms this. Maybe they've gotten rid of the old stock; then those newer diapers would rate 4.5 stars. These non-flex diapers barely close to fit my baby whereas the flex ones were plenty big. It irks me that Amazon posts a picture of the "flex" diapers and delivers a different,inferior product. | 0negative

The perfect solution
So you've sterilized all the baby equipment, and now what do you do with it while it is drying? The regular dish rack is too large and drying items on a towel takes forever, not to mention too much counter space. I've found this rack to be the perfect solution. It is small enough to tuck away easily when not in use, but large enough to hold lots of baby items. I can fit 3 breast pump attachments, 8 pacifiers, 2 bottles + nipples, covers and rings as well as 4 breast milk storage bottles easily. It is also very nice that it is angled to allow water to drain into the sink instead of pooling at the bottom of the rack. I also love how you can customize the configuration of the drying pegs, this ensures that the rack will remain useful long after bottles are a thing of the past. This is a great item! | 1positive

Play yard for new born cutie
I bought this for one of my friend who is about to have his first child. My friend is waiting to play with his cutie on this awesome play yard. More importantly, amazon gave me a good deal. I think this is really a value for your money. | 1positive

satisfying purchase
I sent this to my brother for the birth of his first baby. I ordered it based on the other reviews I read, and let me tell you, it was a smart move. Although I haven't actually seen it yet, he called me and couldn't say enough about how beautiful it was...he also told me "I shouldn't have spent so much" because it was so well crafted it was "obviously expensive." I feel totally comfortable recommending this product. | 1positive

Not as great as it seems
I got the diaper champ before my first baby was born in September, 2002. I thought it would be a great alternative to the diaper genie since it uses regular trash bags. It worked great when my daughter was an infant. But, once she started eating more solids and the poo starting smelling more it was awful. There was always an odor and my daughter's room began to smell. We decided to get rid of it and buck up for the Diaper Genie. I've been so pleased with it, well worth the money and the refill film goes further than you'd think. I'd skip the Diaper Champ and go for the true winner: Diaper Genie. | 0negative

I think the Avents are the best!
My children were all very gassy and hard to feed. My daughter used old Gerber bottles, but that was 5 1/2 years ago, and with the twins, now 11 months old (almost), we were searching for an easier choice.We found the Avent systems to be "the ticket". The only Avent products that have disappointed us were the pacifiers, and the sippy cups (Magic cups).First of all making a bottle couldn't be easier! Its a "regular" bottle, and you can mix the formula right inside of it! Screwing on the cap is the key to leak prevention! You CAN NOT screw it on too tightly, nor too loosely, like most water bottle caps, you have to find the "right tight", which only took us about a week until we were able to put on the cap without hesitation or confusion. If your nipples are treated well, and the cap is on correctly, the Avents WILL NOT LEAK! I can even shake them, but to no prevail. They are also EXTREMELY sturdy bottles, the plastic probably wouldnt break if a hippopotamus stepped on it! I also love that if you put the "caps" on the nipples, they are protected, and if in one of those diaper bag bottle holders, they wont ruin your belongings while on the go. I also love that its easy to clean Avent bottles as well. We scrub the nipples with a SPONGY nipple brush, and clean the bottles with a spongy bottle brush... it gets most of the gunk out, and then the dishwasher does the rest! I love that the Avent bottles come with a "natural", soft nipple, so that baby can latch on at any age. I also love that every single Avent product is interchangeable! From the breast pump, to the Magic Cups, to storage containers, each Avent product can fit on any others!As for preventing gas/reflux, we found it to work just as well as the Ventaires, the liner bottles, and the Gerbers... The Dr. Browns will barely beat out the Avents, but they are MUCH more time consuming, and high maintenance in the sense that you cannot mess ONE thing up, or the bottle will fail you.We love the Avents, and the boys love them too... We will be sad when we move onto sippy cups, but the Avents certainly are bottles that everyone should TRY! | 1positive

My daughter's review of the Vanity
First off, the Vanity arrived way sooner than was promised. This made my daughter's birthday complete. She finds the storage space to be to her liking. The only complaint is that the tassles on the chair like to come undone when tied with a bow. About the only knot that will hold them is a square knot. | 1positive

Waste of money and uncomfortable for the baby
it seems to be that my baby wasn't comfortable on it. The cotton layer really doesn't insullate well from the plastic underneath so my baby would wake up with a sweaty spotty back (we didn't find his skin to be especially sensitive otherwise so it's definitely a reaction to this product...) Just to make sure you undertand how your baby feels, think of the hospital beds. They are lined with plastic with just a cotton sheet over them. After a day or so they make your skin itch. This is the same construction so why should it feel any different...It does protect the pretty sheet underneath but why would you even bother having a pretty sheet if this thing completely covers it... Just buy those white & blue sheets that you can use and then toss. | 0negative

cute, but don't worth the money.
I agree with the previous reviewers that this horse toy chest looks very cute. But cuteness isn't everything.1. Too small, much smaller than it looks in the picture. Beware of the length 29", it includes the length of horse head.2. The boards of the toy chest were too thin and too soft. Shabby looking, I won't even let my toddler sit on it in fear of breaking it apart. The horse head board is the only piece that looks sturdy.3. The instruction of installation not helpful. I don't understand why it needs screws in two different length. The longer one only increased the difficulty of screwing in. It took me some time to figure out the direction and position of each board. And some of them are exchangeable.4. The cover and the box are not connected by hinge. In some sense, it is not convenient. | 0negative

don't like it
There are two things I don't like about this bottle warmer. First, and most important, is the mechanism the warmer uses to determine how long the bottle will heat. You have to fill a tiny bottle with water. Once the water has been all steamed away, the warmer turns off. The problem is that by filing the water to the top of the little bottle you can heat an 8 ounce bottle (I assume. My son isn't eating that much yet). But if you need to warm less than 8 ounces, you have to guess at how much water to put in. If you don't put in enough and the milk is still cold, you're supposed to let the warmer cool 15 minutes before using it again Try telling that to a hungry baby! If you put in too much water, you then have to cool the milk which will be way too hot. The second thing I don't like about this bottle warmer is that the cooler compartment doesn't fit the Dr. Brown bottles we use (the bottles are too tall), so that is essentialy worthless to us. | 0negative

WOW, WOW and WOW!
All the other brands seem to fight the rash so slow that it never goes away. This stuff is amazing! A small rash is gone after 2 applications. And it's not that weird oily texture that's impossible to wash off. Certainly worth the extra price. | 1positive

LOVE THIS!
My Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame has lasted through 2 children and more than 18 flights (left at gatecheck). I LOVE this item. I am going to be so sorry when my little one switches to a regular stroller--they are either tanks or they have no storage space below (this one fits A LOT).This is truly a must-have, right up there with the Go Go Kidz Travelmate (which attaches to the back of the Britax [and other car seats] and is AMAZING for pulling that bad boy through the airport with my son in it!). Get this stroller frame--you won't be sorry! | 1positive

A Review of Pampers Feel 'n Learn
I suppose these work for some boys, but apparently not ours. Our 3 year old may be getting the `wetness signal' but it's not 'loud' enough for him to react to. No rushing to the potty for him, though occasionally he will go get a new diaper so he can be changed.For my part, I am also less than thrilled with the Feel 'n Learn product because Pampers has reduced the overall amount of absorbency as compared to their other diapers. This reduction in absorption means that we need two different types of diapers around for daytime use; these (until they are all gone) and the regular Pampers which have much better absorbency; good enough to last through a shopping trip.Two Stars. Give it a try but don't spend alot of money lest they not work out for you either. | 0negative

It earned his first smile!
This toy earned my son's first smile at 3 wks old. He is 7 wks now and uses it both to lay on his back and bat at the animals, and for tummy time with the light-up flowers. His favorite is the purple elephant jitter toy, and we bring her wherever we go. Good quality, engaging toys, and my son loves it! | 1positive

This thing STINKS!!!! (Quite literally)
I have been a Diaper Genie user for four years, but when my second daughter's diapers became more and more smelly, I decided to try a newer diaper disposal method. I checked out the reviews, asked around, and decided to buy the Diaper Champ, or Chump as I now call it. I will say that the disposal mechanism is great--just drop in the diapers, flip the handle, and voila--it's disposed. I also was sold on the idea of not having to have special refills for the Chump, being able to use any old trash or plastic shopping bag. I tried a regular shopping bag at first, and after one day of wet and dirty diapers, I had major odor issues. I tried a special "odor shield" trash bag next, with no improvement. I tried spraying in additional odor neutralizers. Nope. The Chump still made my poor baby's room stink like nobody's business. I'm back to happily using my old Genie, even if it's harder to use/empty/refill than the Chump. At least it keeps the odors away until I'm ready to empty it. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Mine was returned and the money used for Genie refills!!!! | 0negative

Terrible! Who ever put the hump in the bottom has obviously never bathed an infant!
I needed a new tub for baby 5. I bought this one because I have everything else in the rainforest collection and have liked those items. My son weighed 9 and a half pounds at birth. So, from the beginning he was uncomfortable in the tub. I cinched the hammock as tightly as I could, but his little back still hits the dreaded hump! If I don't keep my hand beneath his back, his lower lumbar rests right on it! Have you ever tried to bathe a large, active, slippery baby with one hand? He wrinkles his brow and squirms rather than enjoying the warmth of the water as he should. I have bathed many a baby many a time in my life and would NEVER have thought putting a hard hump would improve a baby tub! I removed the hammock (great idea, bot poorly designed as well), folded a thick hand towel placed over the hump, and used an ordinary baby bath sling. This "set-up" has worked much better. No more uncomfortable baby or one handed mama. In short, seek out a baby bath tub without the horrid "hump"! | 0negative

Love it
I really like this bather for a small baby. She likes it too! It's so soft & easy to use, no hard surfaces for her to bump against. Yes, it probably should sit lower in the sink so that you can fill up the sink with less water... I don't usually fill the sink because of that. | 1positive

Company does not back up this item
I have owned this product for a year and half and now the video monitor went out on it. I took it to Babies r us and they said they have a 90 day return or exchange policy now without receipt or box and they said to contact Safety 1st. I called Safety 1st and they said it only has a one year warranty. I find this absolutely horrible for a company to only warranty this product for one year when obliviously so many others have had similar problems. I will not buy Safety 1st products again. | 0negative

Love it!
I think the sling is even better looking in real life, the colors are beautiful. I got it to use with my son (8 weeks, almost 12lbs) since our front pack is getting difficult to use already and if he falls asleep I can't sit down. As I'm typing this he is almost asleep in the sling! Success! I can't wait to use it more! | 1positive

Love them!
We used pampers' swaddlers before, but since we can't get them in size 3 we decided to switch. They definitely do the job. No leaks (used them for 3 weeks already), super soft, and smell just as good as the last ones. I am definitely going to order again! | 1positive

Great Gate, but small opening
This is a great gate, but one thing I would change is the opening size (the part of the gate that actually opens). Even for people who are not large - sometimes this opening seems too small. | 1positive

gate
We own three of these gates and they are perfect for our four small dogs. We can easily step over them to get from one room to another.We have two in our kitchen and we were able to adjust them so they fit perfectly to fit across our large kitchen entrance. We have had no problems with our dogs jumping over them.Very happy with our gates! | 1positive

Disappointing features
The warmer is indispensable to me, yet if I had to select a warmer again, I would reconsider the purchase. It is an overpriced and "dumb" appliance when you consider the only way to turn the warmer off is to literally pull the plug. | 0negative

unsatisfied mommy
The cool alert is not good!!!!.... it caused red itchy bumps in my daughter's diaper area. I thought it was a diaper rash, so I used desitin which helped with the discomfort, but after a week & a doctor's visit I realized that the only new thing that was changed with her pull ups was the cool alert. My two year old was soo uncomfortable that she refused to put on the pullup. We continued to use the oringinal. | 0negative

This is so safe and sturdy!!
I thought the price was a bit steep for a step stool, but man is it well made! This step stool will not budge, with all the rubber grips it has. It's also a lot nicer looking after it's been used a while because the black rubber on the top wears so nicely. I looked at another step stool in the BRU store when I bought this, and its rubber already looked icky just from people testing it out. This Baby Bjorn one is also very strong, even for heavier children. I'm very pleased! | 1positive

WHY IS THIS MONITOR EVEN ON THE MARKET?
I am a first time mom and registered for this monitor before reading the reviews. I liked the thought of having dual monitors. I still gave the benefit of the doubt and tested the monitors before our baby arrived in just a few weeks. Thank goodness we did. One of the parent monitors was broken. We even switched outlets and batteries to find out what the problem could be. But had no luck. Being 38 weeks pregnant and exhausted, the last thing I want to do is return this product in exchange for another brand. My suggestion to all the parents is to do the research before purchasing or registering. | 0negative

Awful-chemical smell

Quality has gone down like anything!!
Let me begin by telling you all I have always loved the pampers brand diapers. Since my son was born, i used swaddles and then went onto cruisers. He is 20 months old and I have never had any problems. This last box i ordered has the worst quality of diapers. I think they are just packaging their "newer" version in these. These are so thin and i have had leaks since the day my son is using them. I am soooo disappointed.I was just hoping its my box and they are not using this tactic on every box but several of my friends told me about the same issue.I dont mind paying a few cents per diaper more for good quality but this is just ridiculous. I then went out and bought huggies movers and I think once this box finishes, I am just going to convert to huggies. | 0negative

Great breast milk storage
I've had this for a few weeks now and love it. I love that the product flattens the milk so that my freezer isn't filled with those little ball-like bags of breast milk. It saves a lot of space! I use the Lansinoh bags an haven't had any problems. | 1positive

Love the Sack, Don't Need Swaddle
I can't say enough good things about the sleep sack. After my son made it clear he could get himself out of any blanket, we started using the sleep sack. It's so nice not to worry about your baby getting cold at night or suffocating in a fluffy blanket. I do love this product, but I must admit the swaddle feature does not work for me. My son can't stand to have his arms confined and even though you can wrap the swaddle vest below their arms, it's just an additional unnecessary step when dressing the baby. When I put the sleep sack on my boy he knows it's bedtime and it's become a nice part of our wind down routine. | 1positive

Great diapers!
I use Pampers Cruisers and Luvs diapers in size 3 for my son. The Cruisers work great for overnight, my son never had a leak or diaper rash. I've tried every diaper out there. Luvs works well, and they are less expensive so I use them during the day, and Cruisers for nighttime. I've never tried Luvs for nightime, but I don't want to chance it when I know Cruisers holds up so well during the night. | 1positive

Reject Diapers
I have been buying diapers for 12 years and I have never had a box with so many poor quality diapers. More than half the diapers were no good. The stretchy part was stuck to the diaper liner and would cause a hole in the liner. I also had a hand full where the pull tabs would pull right off! Never again will I order them through a website. | 0negative

Too hard to drink from!
We tried this cup and when my daughter bangs it on something hard it leaks. Furthermore, the suction valve is so tight my daughter inverts the silicone top while drinking because she sucks so hard, and then the top is all folded over and she can't drink at all! I am always undoing the lid to release the suction. We have another Nuby cup that has the same problem. You can fix the problem by opening up the valve a little with a sharp knife or blade, but then it leaks more. My daughter's favorite use of her sippy cup is "painting" with water on the bedsheets using her sippy cup. Much to our dismay! We've tried two Nuby cups and won't ever buy NUBY again. | 0negative

Falls off too easily
I bought this gate and tried to install it at the entrance to kitchen, as my toddler daughter tries to crawl to kitchen to often. However this gate when installed is not sturday. It falls down when a bit of pressure is applied. Needless to say I did not install it as it was potentially dangerous for my daughter (she likes to crawl, and then try to stand with whatever she can hold onto).I would not recommend this gate to anyone. | 0negative

Worth every penny
One of the best baby items we purchased.Compact, lightweight and has a huge basket.This was the only stroller we owned for the first 5.5 months. Then, we were able to figure out what kind of stroller we would buy next (in our case it was the bumbleride indie). Even after we had the indie we still used the stroller frame for errands as it was so easy to pull it and out of the car. We used the frame until he was 10 months old and outgrew his infant carrier.I know many people who bought what they thought was the stroller they wanted before their baby was born and once they were really using it, realized it didn't fit their lifestyle (esp. people who bought travel systems). Starting out with the stroller frame gives you time to figure it out and is a great product! | 1positive
