Plain but easy to fix We love the hamper. I do not use anything in the nursery more except the changing table. We have the blue one and to spice it up a bit we bought little airplanes (our sons room decor) from Hobby Lobby (any craft store will do) and glued them in place of the buttons. Though after our son was able to start roaming we had to remove them so he would not try to remove them himself and eat them, but by that age we were too busy chasing him to care about decor anymore.The hamper is light, big enough to hold everything yet small enough to put anywhere without being a big trip zone.Another great plus is that you can wash the fabric, huge bonus in my book.

Pretty bad wipes I'm really surprised by all the positive reviews for these wipes... I wonder if the reviewers haven't tried other brands? I've tried probably 10 different brands of cloth wipes and I have to say these are (by far) the worst of the them all. They feel like wet paper towels - super thin, not very soft, not very absorbent and irritating to my baby's skin. I'll keep these for cleaning his face and hands but I'll be sticking with BabyKicks and Thirsties wipes from now on.

Seventh heaven I love, love, love these diapers. They are simple and adorable, just a plain tan diaper. No leaks, rashes or red marks on his little thighs. The tags are really stretchy so that you get a good fit at the waist. A good diaper with a good impact on the environment. You can't do much better!!

Perfect for Grandma's house I purchased this to keep at Grandma's house since my son spends one day a week there. It's a little smaller than the one we have at the house (with all the bells and whistles) and is perfect for his weekly time there. Folds up fast and easy and set up is a breeze. I wouldn't recommend this as a "main use" pack-n-play but for trips and what we're using it for, it's perfect!

I love the product!!! I love the product because the cd player is child-proof and portable. The volume goes loud enough for only the child to hear the music. It is great as the child grows and they can eventually play their own cd's. However, it is a pain to change the batteries because a screw driver is needed. I never had a problem with the cd player skipping music. I would recommend this product to any parent.

Quick and simple Great for quick swaddling, especially at night when you just want to get back to bed and haven't got time to spread out the swaddle blanket on the floor and re-do it when you get it wrong.Baby looks very cute in it too!

Awesome body powder!!! I have been using this powder for many years on a daily basis and I would not ever use anything else! It is the best thing I have ever come across. I first found it when my son was an infant and had sensitive skin. He is now 15years old and it is a staple in our household.

Love it, use it every night I use this for white noise every night. I set it on "wind" and bump the volume 4x. I love it - the perfect white noise. I have needed white noise ever since being on the dorm 1st floor in college with the doors banging all night - got used to having a fan and white noise going. Have used this for 8+ years and love it. I have ordered a couple extra just in case they go out of production - I love 'em that much.

Baby loves this mobile After doing lots of research, we ended up purchasing this mobile and are very happy with it. It's very colorful and my four-month-old loves the characters. The projection is great and allows him to see the mobile at night without other lights on in the room. The motor is a little noisy, but it almost adds more "white noise," so it doesn't seem to be a problem. The remote is helpful - although it does have to be pointed at the unit, so we have to remove it from the handle on the door each time. It's nice to have four songs to choose from, but I wish it played more than a couple bars of each - it gets old (although I don't think the baby minds). I also wish the music played longer than 10 or 15 minutes since if he's close to falling asleep and it stops suddenly, he cries. All in all a great product!

The perfect stroller This is a great compact stroller. It fully reclines. Has a nice basket and sun shade. It folds small like an umbrella stroller but has features like my big stroller. We never use our big stroller any more. Our one year old little boy loves that he is right out front to see everything. I searched for quite a while to find somthing compact that would lay down. This is my idea of the perfect stroller. The only con is that there is no drink holder.

my kids love this All my kids have absolutely loved this jumperoo. It has kept them occupied when other things haven't. Plus, this is great because it can go every where (it doesn't have to go in a doorway.)

Easy and Effective These plugs are easy to use and do the job. The new fangled products look like a pain and are probably no more effective than these. These are a good value for your money and you don't have to waste precious time figuring out how they work and how you are going to install them!!

Best Shower Gift of Them All! My wife and I swear by the Cradle Me Swaddle Blanket. We received it as one of our shower gifts and it had to be one of, if not the most, useful of them all! We loved it so much that now that my brother and sister-in-law are having a baby, we wanted to get one for them. The problem we faced was that since it was a gift, we were unsure of the name. We remembered what it looked like and that something was stiched on the back, but nothing else. To make a long story short, we loved the Cradle Me Swaddle Blanket so much, that I just scowered the internet for over 2 hours to find the product without knowing it's name. It's the best!

Great Diaper This is a great diaper for daytime. But, lately my baby has been leaking at night.I tried a bigger size and that didn't work.My little boy sleeps on his one side and now I have to switch him from side to side during the night to avoid leaks.I think I am going to try one of the nighttime brands and see how that goes.

Loooove it I started using it when we traveled with our baby. He loves it: it's cozy and soft and keeps his travel bed warm. It is also easy to wipe for quick spit-ups and teething drool. Dries quick enough. We got two, they are easy to wash and dry and light weighted to carry around. I read that some of these sheets got destroyed in the dryer, but ours kept up really well.

Missing bottles Be careful because you don't get what is described. I ordered this one because the description said I would get 2 bonus bottles. I did not get the bonus bottles so I contacted Amazon since, at the time, Amazon fulfilled the order. They said they could only refund the money but if I reordered, I should get what was described. I then contacted the company it was sent from, Greencupboards, but they said they couldn't help me as Amazon shipped the item. I returned the sterilizer and reordered. I still didn't get the 2 bottles so I returned it again. Amazon still said that they didn't know what happened. Very disappointed.

Fits Britax Marathon Just Fine We purchased this bag for our Britax marathon convertible carseat. The bag is plenty big for the seat and I found the material and make of the bag to be high quality and durable.

bopped Best thing ever for breastfeeding moms! Seriously. Baby is able to be comfortably next to you, in a good position, with no struggle or tired arms. I wish I had had it with me at the hospital when I was being taught how to breastfeed; We both would've been so much more comfortable! All I can say is get one (maybe two, they can get a little milky but are easily laundered).

Going in the trash! I recieved this monitor as a shower gift, I had read the positive reviews and registered for it. Since the first time I used this monitor I have disliked it. You cannot take it around the house, it must be plugged in and have a battery in it, for it to work at all. The one I have works when it wants to, and there is alot of static. Also all of a sudden it will just turn to static, then the next day it may work again. I recommend NOT getting this monitor system.

LOVE IT!!!! I have previously owned 3 different double strollers...and ended up hating them all! This is the first side-by-side I have bought and I LOVE it!!!The bench seat is awesome! I have 3 children under 4 and have actually put all 3 children in the seat while walking in a parking lot!The Tango turns wonderfully (one of my biggest complaints with all other strollers). I feel very safe with my newborn laying in one seat while my 2 yo sits beside him. The stroller still turns very well even with the large weight difference in my boys. I have also taken my 2 yo and 4 yo on walks with no problems (they are a lot closer in weight though).The reason(s) I gave it 4 stars instead of 5??? The baskets underneath the seats...I have to practically empty my diaper bag for it to fit...if a person is using a double stroller, wouldn't that person normally have a pretty large diaper bag????Second reason...the other day when I did put my diaper bag under the seat, and there was quite a bit of stuff in it, the basket rubbed on the wheel. I was careful to reposition it so it wouldn't rub, but I really don't want a whole in the basket!!!My third reason, NO CUP HOLDERS ANYWHERE!!! None for the kids, none for me! There is a mesh thing on the side that can hold bottled drinks, and it works great for that...but don't even think about having a to go cup with a straw...you wouldn't be able to push the stroller and hold the cup at the same time, and there isn't anywhere you could even think about putting it.Finally, the last thing that bothered me the other day when out ALL DAY with all 3 kids by myself...the "window" used to see the little baby would constantly fall shut...I would suggest putting some velcro somewhere so it could roll up into itself...I had to open it every time I wanted to see my little one!BUT...overall I do love it! The big things...manuverability, stability, ease of use, overall looks all are wonderful. The few negatives I do have really aren't that big of a deal. Also, keep in mind, these complaints are after taking 3 children out in the stroller for 10 hours by myself! It went VERY smoothly, and I could easily adapt to all of the problems I did have. I was walking a lot in gravel, in grass, and on a paved road. The transition from one to another was great! I couldn't ask for a stroller to perform better!!!

Great for Travel We loved this car seat travel bag. It doesn't provide the best protection since it's thin material, but my car seat hasn't been damaged and we have used it for 2 years now. I would practice putting your seat in it at home so you aren't struggling with it at the airport. Don't lose the straps it becomes a pain to carry. My husband has to lug this around, he wishes it was more of a back pack then a duffle bag, but this really is a great item. Even our huge Wizard Convertible car seat fits in this.

Not for babies with sensitive skin! Pampers are actually an okay brand of diaper, however I put one on my daughter with sensitive skin (and eczema) and she immediately broke out in a rash in every area the diaper touched! I could not use the rest of the package and the rash took several days to go away. If your baby has sensitive skin at all, stay away from Pampers. Huggies work best.

Lightweight and sturdy Purchased white step stool 2 years ago and still looks quite new. The top rubber surface and no skid pads on the bottom are very effective. My personal favorite feature is that it is very lightweight which allows even my 2 year old daughter to pick it up and move it (or throw it into the bathtub and play with it in the water).

Too slow!! I want to start this by saying that swings are not something that you can buy before you know what your baby will actually like ... but what I do know is that this swing was entirely too slow for our son and he could only be in the swing for about 5 minutes before he started crying. We purchased it based upon all of the good reviews but ended up purchasing the Fisher Price Snuggabunny swing today which goes way faster and our son is content and sleeping in it as I type this. Again, it's hard to purchase a swing that is appropriate for your newborn without knowing what he/she will like, but if you get the Starlight Papasan then you are definitely limiting yourself to basically one speed with is just SLOW. Hope this helps anyone who is trying to buy a swing!

Very nice I love my pack n play. It was easy to set up. It is light weight and easily moved around to accomodate the opportunities that I get to babysit my first granddaughter. I look forward to at least a year of use, maybe more. Who knows, I could have the opportunity to host another new grandchild a little later on. All is good.

Breastflow Users I got this to transport bottles back and forth to daycare. Since I am breastfeeding I am sending smaller quantities 2-4 oz which means more bottles. I am using the Breastflow 5 oz bottles and I can fit 5 in the carrier (4 standing up and 1 laying down across the top) and the included ice pack across the top. Looks like it is going to work great! The material is a little cheap on the inside - so I just plan on being careful with it. But for the price and the size - it is worth it as far as I am concerned.

Beautiful! Bought this for the living room, but it was just a bit too funky. Instead, it has ended up in our 6YO's bedroom, where it looks quite suitable, and he loves it. It's actually very bright considering the light bulbs are about the size of my pinkie fingernail!

Do you need padding and height? or just padding? This works great in our master bath since we have an oversized tub and I need the added height this kneeler provides to reach/bathe my baby. In our other (smaller/lower) tub, I only use a towel -- since the step/kneeler would give me too much height and cause me to bend over more and hurt my back. So ... figure out if you need added height before buying this. If you don't, go with a pad (or just folded towel).

Huge Waste of Money This is by far the worlds biggest waste of money. Who in their right mind would want to go through the hassles that this system has to offer. It's time consuming, doesn't hold many diapers, and for those of us with stinky diapers looming about its such a hassle. Walk the diaper out to the trash everyday and don't waste your money on the overpriced frills and expensive refills.

Baby Loved It I purchased this item for a friend of mine who has a 1 1/2 year old. She tells me that whenever her son sees the blanket, he starts grabbing after it and he quite often takes his naps on it because she can't separate him from it. It has so many sounds and textures that he really enjoys. If baby likes it...I like it!

Cheap quality product. Got this one a week ago and said to myself, what a bad decision to buy this product.Firstly, the product quality is so low, the plastic looks and feels so delicate. Looks like and is a cheap china product.As described it is easy to use. But I AM UNABLE TO OPEN IT TO CLEAN IT.The detachable part of this product is stuck SO Bad that I was unable to open it for cleaning. I am sure If I try hard enough, it will break and become useless.I would not recommed this product to anyone. It is bad quality and a waste of money in my view.

Faulty from the beginning This swing didn't work properly from day one, the mobile broke first. It made a horrible grinding noise. We should've taken it back. We just kept the mobile off, then a few months later the music and lights started messing up. The switch on top has a short circuit or something. Now, it won't swing and play music at the same time. For $100 I thought it would be the best. Iwas very wrong. Maybe, the newer model has improved but I'd be weary.

cheap plastic, hard to open lid Made from real cheap plastic. The lid is kind of hard (inconvenient) to open. Overpriced as well. Not worth more than $5 I think.

Doesn't fit! This product SHOULD work, but only if your door doesn't fall between 33 1/2" and 35". My doorway is 34" wide and it's a 1/2" too short without the extendtion and 1" too wide with the extention. I called the manufacturer and it's NOT listed on the box but she confirmed that this is true!

Sturdy step stool This is a great step stool. I purchased one last year and ended up buying an extra one for my youngest daughter. Both my kids love to stand on them while I wash their hands or brush their teeth. It is made of durable platic and the non-slip rubber on the bottom works great. I also recommend the baby Bjorn bibs and plates.

we love this item! my son loves his jumper. he's been in it since about 3 months, and it helped him to start jumping and using his legs... and now he's a little muscle man! (well, he's strong, anyway!) he's now 6 months old, and he's been playing in his jumper for over 3 months now and he still loves it... which i can't say for some of his other toys that he's bored with!i highly recommend this. my son loves it, me and his father love it, our babysitter loves it, his grandmother loves it... etc!

This tub is bad on SOOOOO many levels!! First, leaks. My husband and I read the instructions on EVERYTHING, especially when concerning our baby. The instructions on how to keep this tub from leaking are so obscure that we had to read it a few times before understanding them. After we set up the tub as the instructions state (we heard the click and everything) the darn think still leaked!! Second, stinky mildew smell. I'm a freak about germs so I washed the sling three times a week. Still smells! Third, the stinky sling does not hold my baby. I have a big baby (16 lbs @ 3 months) and he slides everywhere. He's already just about the length of the tub. Fourth...it's impossible to bathe the baby in the "seat" because the green plastic holder is in the way. Fifth...IT LEAKS (I know I already mentioned that, but it deserves revisting). Finally, those suction cups are the mother of all suction cups. In theory, they are nice, but they are not practical. You need to release all the suction cups prior to moving, but once you get two released and are reaching to release #'s 3 & 4, the 1st 2 are down!!All in all.....bad, bad buy!

Try the Medela nipple shield if this doesn't work My daughter was born almost three months ago on August 27. I have inverted nipples and I tried desperately to breastfeed her, but she just wouldn't latch on. She just cried and cried. Plus my milk didn't come in till several days later (this is my first child). I have not tried this product, but a week or so after she was born I intended to buy breast shells, but accidently bought a nipple shield from medela at Target ( I guess Babies R Us doesn't carry it -at least online). Anyway, the nipple shield is made of soft plastic that is worn over the nipple and areola and your nipple fits in a sort of tube that has holes in it (it almost looks like a bottle nipple). There is even an indentation so that the baby's nose won't be on the plastic. There are two sizes to choose from. This product costs $7. If I hadn't gotten this nipple shield, I never would have been able to breastfeed. I am so glad I purchased this product because of the bonding experience that occurs when you breastfeed. I am no longer frustrated and she latches on fine and I have no problems.

Still working great after 3 years We bought this sound machine for our baby to help lengthen sleep, and it really seemed to help. She is so used to the wind and wave sounds that even now, when she is almost 3, we put the sound machine on and she falls easily to sleep. If we forget to bring it with us on a trip, she has a more difficult time sleeping. This machine has battery backup, so when we have lost power it still works. We take it with us anywhere we travel, or send it to grandma's when our daughter sleeps over there. It has been a good product, we haven't had any problems with it.

Longtime Entertainer I received this item as a baby shower gift and was curious to see if my daughter would get a lot of use out of it. I first put her on this at about a month old, which was a little too early. However, at 2 months old she fell in love with this toy. She loved to bat at the hanging toys and look at herself in the mirror. She is still loving it at 3 months old and is now learning to grab onto the hanging toys. She still loves to look at herself in the mirror! I put her on this everyday and she will happily entertain herself for atleast 30 minutes at a time. She also loves the music it plays. It plays nursery rhymes and mozart. I have not tried any of the others, but I can definitely recommend this particular toy with confidence. I feel sure that my daughter will be able to play with this toy for at least another month or two. I think it is very helpful in developing her coordination and muscles. I am recommending this playmat to all my expectant friends and hopefully this review will help you with your decision making!

Not a well-made bike trailer I usually assume that anything made by Little Tikes will last. This is not the case with this product. A small rubber rod which attaches the stroller to the bike snapped in half. In my opinion, a part which attaches a trailer (with my child inside) to my bike should be virtually indestructible. I called Little Tikes, and was told that no replacement parts are stocked for this product. Since I purchased over a year ago, there is no warranty, and I was told to throw away the bike stroller. I am extremely unhappy about this.

Great At First, and then... I've had the same experience as a lot of others. My monitor worked fairly well for several months- though without very good range. Now all the sudden, it shows that it's working without actually picking up anything. It's just started not recognizing that the unit in the baby's room is on. I have to turn it on and off over and over before finally getting anything. I'm also looking for another monitor and will get one today. Please don't waste you time and money!

Better than a towel! I originally just put my pacifiers, bottles, nipples, caps and breast pump pieces on a towel to dry after sterilizing. I'm glad I bought this because the items seem to dry faster. Plus, on the towel, the inside of the bottles didn't dry, rather they seemed to fog up because the water wasn't draining well. I think it's worth the money.

Poor Quality-Get if you hate your partner! After reading the raves on this and other websites, I was eager to try this pillow. I've had horrible times sleeping during pregnancy and was hopeful this would help. And it did, for about a month until the cheap materials showed it up. The portion of the pillow between my knees compressed into nothingness and was totally unsupportive thereafter. It's tricky to roll over with (I always had to wake up to do it) and the fabric is really rough and scratchy. It also did not offer enough support for my neck. Get this pillow if you never want to cuddle your partner again, it's so cumbersome, you won't be able to--it's like the Great Wall.

Love this collection! I am very impressed with this collection. THe pack and play is beautiful and incredibly functional. With the bassinet and changer both, along with a mobile and music box, this playpen is definitely worth the money. I like that the music box will play songs as well as nature sounds. Just a neat little bonus. I have found the entire Graco Clara collection to be incredibly priced for the quality and accessories it provides - and it is just the right amount of girlie that my husband likes it too!

A MUST! This bottle warmer is awesome! We started by running downstairs in the middle of the night to heat up a bowl of water and then wait for the bottle to slowly heat up. What a pain! This bottle warmer is a lifesaver! It keeps the bottle cool and then warms it in a matter of seconds. The only thing that would make this better is if it had a refrigerated part that wasn't dependent upon an ice pack, but this is obviously not possible. I highly recommend- you won't be sorry!

SO convenient! These bags are GREAT! My son had an extended NICU stay so I pump exclusively and have to be very careful with hygiene. With these I can quickly and easily sterilize my pump attachments, his bottles, his pacifiers or even a couple of his toys. All I do is add some water, microwave, drain and done. No boiling water, no timing, no accidentally melting things on the bottom of the pot, no hassle with complicated electronic sterilzers, and almost no storage space! Each bag is good for around 20 uses then you toss it out and get a new one, so a package of them lasts quite a while. Very handy when traveling too, since many hotels and gas stations have microwaves so you can sterilize what you need to on the go without trying to haul a bunch of junk around with you.

cot I would not purchase this again. It is cute and sturdy, however, there is a nylon strap down the middle going across the short way. The strap raised the middle up leaving two "pockets" on each end that make it impossible to lay flat without being raised up at the waist. I placed a very thick dog mattress that I purchased to use in a porta-crib on top, and it did little to alleviate the unevenness. My daughter will curl up on one end or the other. Don't waste your money. I am sure there is a better alternative.

Highly Recommended I registered and received two kinds of bottles...Dr. Brown's wide-neck and Avent. I have tried both with my newborn (who's soley drinking EBM) and you can see / hear the difference immediately. There are definite "bubbles" when my daughter uses the Avent bottles. No bubbles at all with Dr. Brown's.I haven't had any problems with leakage. True that there are additional parts to clean, but it does not take long and I would rather spend a few extra minutes cleaning bottle parts than worrying about excess gas.All in all, I *HIGHLY RECOMMEND* these bottles. I personally think they're great and baby seems to agree. She rarely spits up and if at all, just a tiny bit...so apparently the bottles are doing what they're supposed to do.

bad batch--leaked everytime i usually purchase these from a store but thought maybe cheaper online. the first time i used them they leaked, i didn't think about it, but everytime they leaked. i checked them and realized the crotch area was not wide enough, the padding on the sides didn't reach to the edges. so i ended up throwing them away. what a disappointment!

Simply the best Baby Product If you ever want to go to a restuarant while your children are just off the bottle and does not have a full set of teeth this is great.If you have a long car-ride this is great.If you just are afraid of your child choking this is great.The one thing we did to improve it is add a ribbon to it so the child can not throw it far away or paint the walls easily with it.

An urban life saver We live in New York City and had been using a stroller or baby carrier to take our baby with us places. So glad we finally bought this SnugRider. It makes travelling within the city much easier.We use it anytime we are walking with the baby and will need to get into a car or taxi. It work perfectly with our Graco car seat and is very quick to attach or detach. Taxis can be impatient and we try to get in quickly once they stop for us. We can quickly detach the car seat and fold up the SnugRider to get in and go.Folding the SnugRider is not intuitive. We definitely had to read the instructions to figure out which part to twist and where to pull. Even knowing how to do it, the movement is a bit awkward, but we are able to do it quickly now after a little practice.

Not safe I like that the sides are sturdy and it would be impossible to roll over on baby. It also folds up nicely for traveling.Problem #1 is that everytime the baby woke me up, he would be hanging out of the sleeper from the waist down. I never could figure out what was happening, but he would turn sideways and slip out. Also, the bottom half of this is not level with the top half,I think that may have caused the problem. This worried me too much, so after spending $40 I put it away with only 2 weeks of use.Problem #2, my baby was only 19" and it was almost too small for him. There's no room for a baby to grow.

Lamp sent is not lamp shown I was not too impressed with the fact that the lamp pictured and that I ordered because it matched the crib set I have wasn't the lamp that was sent to me. The lamp that was sent to me was from a different blue jean teddy theme in which I have nothing else. I have the noah's ark theme and I wanted the noah's ark lamp.

A good buy I bought this on sale price of $25 and I'm very happy with the product. The crib bumper is tall and thick enough so that my active baby will not knock her head in her crib. The quality of the comforter is OK. I just don't like the ruffle. The fabric quality is OK, it's not soft for baby but for the price I'd say it's still a good buy.

A Fireman dad & EMT Mom who Live in VERY Rural Nevada PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS SEAT.ASK BABIES R US TO PULL IT FROM ITS INVENTORY. IT WAS THE ONLY CONVERTIBLE ARE SEAT TO FAIL CONSUMER REPORTS CAR SEAT TESTING. I QOUTE "the Cosco Alpha Omega 22-150 convertible seat were structurally damaged in our crash tests". Go to Consumer Reports.Com and read the full report for yourselves. When I showed our product information to the Reno, NV Manager he was Shocked at the perfomance of this seat, as were we, as this was the seat we were going to buy as it came highly recommended. The Manager took our information after we purchased a highly Recommended BRITAZ WIZARD and said he would take the information to regional sales meetings. As Parents who are of one 8 month old whose dad is a fire fighter and mom is an EMT I have to say the BRITAX seat ROCK...your car that is, when installed...the seat itself, is rock solid and the safest thing out there. Though large and imposing, this actually fits BETTER into our VW Jetta in the REAR FACING position than any THREE of our previous Evenflo or costco seats. Latch installation is easier on this model than on any other model. It "clicks" to confirm it is in place AND is EASY to release for removal...no blind fumbling. The grandparents have a new Toyata Sequioa and this seat fits like a glove in it. We were hesitant about using the tether in the rear facing position as it is an "up and over" techinque to attach to the anchor point in the Jetta and we thought it would hinder getting out child in and out, but the release/adjust tensioner in one touch so we simply loosen and then snug up the strap once baby is secure. Takes about 3 seconds. One note though on installation in older Ford Pickups---the Seatbelt buckle can interfere with the the clip on the the seat that helps snug up the vehicles seat belt to the child seat...something to look at if you have a mid 1990 Ford or possible Dodge Extra Cab vehicle and you are thinking of installing into the back cab. Speaking of baby. You set him/her in click the straps and there is one strap in the the middle that you pull and it cinches everything down. WOW! For fine tuning you can use the "knob" on seat the raises and lowers the head rest. This is a REALLY nice feature in winter as you don't have to take child out of coats, just give the knob a couple cranks and the whole seat is re-adjusted for bulky clothes. There are handy little velcro tabs on either side of the seat to hold seat belts out of way as you place child in seat. Very nice "tummy pad". Rubber slides on the belts that cross the chest and little pads for shoulders. The seat it self is the ONLY SEAT THAT OFFERS ANY SORT OF SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION ON THE MARKET. The new standard coming out in the next 12-18 months for child seat manfs. Consumer Reports does not tell you this, but it is coming. This seat is reinforced with Metal bars and has Bicycle helmet foam lining the plastic molded seat for extra impact absorbtion. NO OTHER SEAT HAS THIS EITHER. (ONLY BRITAX SEATS). We live 135 miles from a mall, trauma center, and her pediatrician. We both travel about 10,000 miles a month, and half of that is with her in tow. We have SO MANY NEAR MISSES it is not even funny. Why chance things with a piece of equipment like the alpha omega that can't even stand up to a 30mph crash test (which is like pitch it off the roof of your house). That investment in your back seat is worth a lot more. The extra money we spent on this seat knowing how much time we spend on the road has been our best investment in keeping her safe. And the biggest selling feature for us came after our purchase on the the trip home from Reno. She actually SLEPT ALL THE WAY HOME. A Sign to us of her COMFORT LEVEL in this Seat. This the first time our daughter slept more than an hour in any car seat and our daughter is 8 months old. Thank you BRITAX! YOU HIT THE MARK WITH DESIGN, ENGINEERING, SAFETY, PARENT FRIENDLY USE and CHILD COMFORT! Again Please, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS ALPHA OMEGA SEAT. ASK BABIES R US TO PULL IT FROM ITS INVENTORY. IT WAS THE ONLY CONVERTIBLE ARE SEAT TO FAIL CONSUMER REPORTS CAR SEAT TESTING. I QOUTE "the Cosco Alpha Omega 22-150 convertible seat were structurally damaged in our crash tests". Go to Consumer Reports.Com and read the full report for yourselves.

Buy the Champ!!! I used the Diaper Genie for 15 months and cursed it daily- not as much as my husband though :) The mechanism that cuts the plastic broke after only a month so we had to use scissors instead. The refills are expensive and smell funny. I think they added to the odor problem instead of masking it. Also, the lid was sometimes hard to open. We finally broke down and bought the Champ. My daughter's room doesn't smell like diapers any more! It's so easy to refill with just any plasic bag-trash, grocery or shopping bags work fine. One reviewer stated that she had to clean it regularly because of smearing- (ewww) Just make sure the contents of the diaper is wrapped up tight and it won't be a problem.

Inconsistent and Unnecessary This warmer frequently oveheated bottles to the point at which they were steaming and could have seriously burned baby. Then had to listen to baby scream while another one heated up, which seemed to take forever. We finally figured out it is WAY WAY easier to fill a bunch of clean bottles with the right amount of formula powder and just add room-temperature water. Wish I hadn't wasted my money.

Great chair for a great price! We read a ton of reviews about various gliders and everything we read about this glider was true, other than a smell that some people wrote about. The chair is very easy to assemble, and the back cushion is great! The bottom cushion is not as thick and soft as you might want it to be. After sitting in it for 30 minutes or so you will leave an imprint behind. Other than that, put your feet up and rock your baby to sleep!

Inadequate for a stroll in Boston, MA So I thought I would do the trendy thing and buy this stroller for it was highly recommened. First and foremost this stroller is extremely cumbersome. Opening and folding this large "hunk of junk" is impossible. Either the five point harness gets stuck upon opening thereby you are stuck with baby in hand and no easy way fold the stroller again so that you can retrieve the harness. It is difficult to manuver due to the small wheels around the city. In terms of going shopping forget it. It is too big and clunky to fit down any aisle in any department store. If you are traveling do yourself and your poor spouse a favor leave it home. Basically, I have found that this stroller is really useless. GRACO is a much better option and you can save quite a bit of money.

Disappointing... I received these bags as a gift while my baby was in the NICU. I have never had a problem with them leaking while thawing milk... most of the time the bags wouldn't get to the freezer. Several days ago, at 2 AM, I was transferring milk from the bottles I use to pump into bags. Before I had even zipped the bags shut, there was a puddle of milk on my counter! By the time I managed to get the milk into another bag, I lost more than an ounce!I'm glad that I did not waste my money on this product, and certainly will not be purchasing it myself.

These diapers leak... The diapers feel nice and soft, but the gathers don't go all the way around leg so they have a tendency to leak. I prefer the Pampers diapers because they fit a lot better than the Huggies. They also bunch up in the middle after he wets and look huge and uncomfortable.

Very poor quality material After returning the Organic pads that piled after their first wash, I ordered these. UNBELIEVABLY they did the SAME thing?! As always, Amazon shipped them in lightening speed, I threw them in the wash to start using them immediately, when to my surprise they piled and frayed in the wash. I returned them promptly for a refund. If I had anything positive to say it would be that the size is generous. However, the polyester-nylon-type material wouldn't have been soft on my baby's bum even IF they would have held up to a washing machine.

Steer Clear of this Model Zooper Zydeco Stroller Dark GreenBought it and returned it. This is supposed to be Zooper's "elite" stroller. The product description and high rating had me all the way. We thought this stroller would take us wherever we wanted to go: neighborhood, mall, beach, trails. As rugged as this stroller looks, it sure is delicate. All three wheels were a disaster. The back wheels wobbled. One of them kept rubbing up against one of the mechanisms attached to the frame. The front wheel "Turn" mechanism never worked properly. As a result, unless manually turned, the front wheel stayed locked into place. The seat fabric (advertised as "Smart Fabric") started wearing out immediately. When opening and closing the stroller, the unprotected front bumper is the first thing to hit the ground, therefore, is constantly getting scratched. You have to open and close the hood very carefuly so as not to knock the "Turn" and "Brake" wires (which run along the inside of both sides of the frame) out of their brackets which will then inhibit the mechanisms from working at all. This added to the limited about of times they ever worked properly. Every outing with this stroller proved to be very frustrating.

Manufacturing defect I registered for this item back and receiveed it when my son was born in January, 2006. About 2 1/2 months later, the spring on one side of the insert broke and when I tossed in a diaper, the trap door didn't spring back closed. I contacted the company, and after about 2 weeks of emails and phone calls, I received an email back advising me that they had a problem with a batch of them and would send me out another insert. Well...after another 3 months or so, I once again find myself with the same problem. I don't even use it that frequently (maybe 3x a day) because my son is in daycare full time. I have once again contacted the company but I am very annoyed that I have had the same problem twice within 6 months. At this point, I will hopefully receive another insert but I would not be too quick to rush out and purchase this product again.

Baby loves it! This is the perfect bath for an infant. I love fact that it's soft instead of hard plastic which allows is to soak up warm water fast and is comfy for baby.It dries out very quickly and doesn't mildew.

Worked great for awhile....then the real stink came I got this as a baby shower gift. At first, it worked great. Although I know one of the reasons people select this item is due to the fact that you can use regular trash bags with it, you still have to have batteries (4 D size) and a charcoal filter - both of which need to be replaced. The batteries were a problem since I didn't want to keep throwing them out - I bought rechargeable batteries. They never held their charge long enough with this product - had to recharge them CONSTANTLY. So would suggest that you do the math with a better odor control product - are you really going to be that behind? Is $5-10 worth it? (personally - I think so!!!)I also did not like how hard it was to open the lid. Most times I would end up opening the entire heavy lid and would have to push that back down and work to open only the right compartment. tough to do with Little One on the changing table.After 7 months - the light stopped coming on - the indicator that the fan was working. New batteries, nothing - it just died. There was ABSOLUTELY NO ODOR control - I nearly gagged each time I went into my son's room. And I could not have him sleeping in there. I started changing it every day and still not good. I e-mailed the company and asked for advice but never heard anything. I would say use a different system. I now put in garage to give away and bought a new Diaper Genie Elite (cross fingers).

Starts off great, but stinks later We bought the Diaper Champ when my son was born. I absolutely loved it - at first. I loved the ease of using it and the fact that we could use regular trash bags. Very convenient. I even gave several of these as shower gifts. However after only 9-10 months, the thing started making my son's room STINK. I guess the seal was not working properly anymore (just my opinion). I contacted the Baby Trend company to get a replacement - after all, it had only been 9 -10 months. The company did not back their product!! They just said "We don't do replacements". They just said to clean the thing really well. I ALWAYS cleaned it when I replaced the bags. But I tried everything they said to do. Still - STINKY! I contacted them again and complained, but again got really no help. I was telling a friend of mine (to whom I gave one of these as a gift) about my problem, and she said that hers is doing the same thing.My opinion now - don't buy it. It will probably be great at first, but then you will have a stinky room. It says something to me when the company won't even back their products.

just a little scary This Toilet Trainer seems like it could break easily. I wish I had purchased two separate items, the footstool and the seat. I like that it sets the baby forward on the ring, so he can bend his legs, however, this is the only thing I like about it.I'm worried that the plastic nuts and bolts will strip or give out. He's not too interested in it since he figured out that when he gets up on the step, there's no way to turn around without my help. It does not seem stable or safe.

just so so I didn't find this pillow to be of much support or use in my pregnancy. The velcro came unattached fairly easily, and it got shifted into a million wrong positions very easily as well. I purchased a full body pillow that curved at the top and bottom for support, and while it was a space taker in the bed, it was much more comfy and useful than this thing. This ended up accumulating dust under my bed instead of actually being used.

THE SHOWER SPRAY DOES NOT WORK My husband and I chose this product because of the shower feature. Unfortunately, the shower spray broke after using it 3 times! A friend of mine told me she had similar problems with the tub. Not to mention that using the shower spray is very difficult because of the placement of the button. Don't waste your money on this one.

Glad I bought this This band is great and you can't beat the price. This instantly relieved pain in my lower back and does help quite a bit when I'm jogging and exercising. I am glad that I bought a size larger though and do recommend doing that.

Love it! I bought this rocking glider for my 11 year old daughter. She is special needs and is very hard on furniture. This glider is very comfortable and looks great in her room! Although it looks a little bigger in the picture then what it actually is, I would definitely recommend it. So far, it's well worth the money!

Pure static This monitor is awful. All I hear is static. The threshold for hearing baby is quite high (meaning he has to make a lot of noise before I hear him). With my old monitor, I could hear every sound without static, but it was unreliable, while this one is quite reliable so far. It doesn't switch channels or beep incessantly like my old monitor. But for it's primary purpose, to pick up and transmit sound, it fails miserably.

Excellent for the money It's cheap and can fit rather large openings. It is the most sturdy of constructed gates and the adjustment bard tends to bow out, even when not under extreme pressure.It is difficult to remove the gate from an opening as the gate does not slide easily back into a compact position. Again, these few things I can overlook for the cost of the gate.DO NOT USE THIS GATE AT THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF STAIRWELL

Good while it lasted The gate lasted for about 6 months and then the locking mechanism broke and it's now a useless climb-over object. I'd never recommend this gate to anyone.

Best baby gate I have ever used! The hands-freeness of this gate makes me so happy. I can walk through it with a baby in my arms and other junk in my hands, and I don't have any trouble getting it open. The foot pedal requires a lot of pressure, so my five year old has a hard time getting in and out, but that is okay because sometimes I want to keep her out of the kitchen, too! The installation was a breeze, and the gate has not moved a millimeter since I put it up despite being pulled on by both the baby and the five year-old. And what pleases me most is that I cannot find a place anywhere on the gate for fingers to be pinched at any stage of being open, closed or closing. We are using one extension with this gate. The measurements of it (the gate) and what space it will fit (with/without extensions) is accurate too.

DO NOT FALL FOR THE HYPE!!! This tub is horrible...I agree with most of the other reviews. It leaks to the point where you can't fill it up with water and keep it filled, thereby leaving huge puddles near the kitchen sink. And when we tranferred it to the tub, it still leaks...and you need to have Herculean strength to have the tabs lock in place. The directions weren't that clear either -- my sister and I (both who have college degrees) both tried to put this together and finally figured it out after about 30 minutes...we laugh now, it wasn't funny then. My daughter is now 4.5 months old and I am looking for a new tub -- this one is for the birds!

Fails to provide safety This gate will not keep your children safe simply because it opens on it's own. Like others people who have reviewed this product our gate opened all the time even in the middle of the night. I'm in the midst of contacting evenflo and strongly suggesting that they recall the product before a child gets badly injured or worse.Do yourself and your children a favor and stay clear of this gate.

Cute and Noisy Mobile with Too Much Hype ... It fits only on cheep Cribs. If you have a crib rail thicker than 2" buy something else. The music is nice, animals are cute, however the motor makes an unusual hissing sound and quite irritating. The pieces that slides up and down also makes an unpleasant noise. The company brags about how developmental this mobile is however I think the noise may actually bad for babies. I will give 4 stars for the look and 1 star for the poor construction. I will return it during the weekend.Frankly, I rather hang an umbrella upside down with some soft toys, play good music on my CD player for my baby than using this [thing].Just another too hyped Toy.

Terrible for #2 Terrible poop control. Spills right out the sides and back. Absorbent for urine only, would not recommend this product. Swaddlers are much softer, and much more absorbent,I have not had any spillage events with swaddlers.

Loved the stroller until it broke, support is terrible I loved this stroller until mine broke. I have only been using it since December, and I rarely use it (4 or 5 times a month) but the 'sturdy' platform in the back is cracked. I contacted support last week to find out where to get a new platform. So far all I have received is questions regarding when I purchased it and how heavy my kids are. I have a 3 year old girl and a 9 month old and they are not heavy kids (30lbs and 19 lbs). Still the platform broke and I need a replacement. I wasn't asking for anything for free, although many good companies would have been more helpful. So here I am a week later with no solution. Apparenlty timely communication is not their strong suit. In the meantime I am considering getting a different brand of a double stroller so I am not without for any longer. If we wouldn't have had an issue with the cracked seat and the related support I would have given this stroller 5 stars.

Let's talk roomy! This is a great solid changing table and it only took my husband 20 minutes to assemble. I did not care for the changing pad it came with so I purchased the more expensive curved pad (very happy with that as well, see my review). There is lots of room on both shelves to store anything you desire. I store receiving blankets, wash clothes, spit towels, bath towels, and diaper wipes (inside a diaper warmer) on the bottom shelf. On the middle shelf is where I keep the lotion, binkies, toys, and accessories that I need daily. I'm very pleased at the durablity and beauty.

Sheepskin contains antimony, phosphorous, arsenic! Please think twice before purchasing this as any type of baby bedding if it is not covered in polyethylene. Sheepskin has a direct link to SIDS/Cot death, it gives off toxic nerve gases (phosphorines, arsines and stibines). Do a little research into that issue at least before purchasing this or any skeepskin product for your baby. Yes, it's soft and luxurious, but is that worth the life of your child?

no more leak!!!! I used to buy huggies for my kids, but one day the store was running out and I have a coupon for pampers cruisers, so I tried. I was not disappointed at all. The diapers have a great absorbiency, they're more expensive than huggies but they're work well so it makes it Ok. And my kids love elmo so we have a winner.

Skip this product! What a waste of time and money! Time because I had to drive to a Babies R Us to return these sheets. No, I don't expect a bed of roses (as one reviwer suggested) but I do expect some level of comfort! They are unbelievably stiff, even after multiple washings. They are so bad in fact, that I never even put my son down on them. I use the one I opened and washed as an under layer for the good sheets that I bought on ebay! Just do a search for pack-n-play sheet. You'll be glad you did.

Works great.... for 5 months I bought this for my son but some days ago, just like that, the sound monitor went nuts... I notice that even do my son is not laying in his crib the monitor still goes beeping as if everything is ok. Dont know if the problem is the movement sensor or the sound monitor. I will need to buy another one because i live in Ecuador and we cannot sent it to be checked.
