Great transitional bottle from all formula to adding cereal & puree ordered these as a transitional bottle from all formula to cereal & puree mix. Great buy & wonderful way to color code for different foods & helps baby hold his own bottle.

A little secret I found! Parents, if you are going to purchase this item you will love to know that the Nuby sippy cups (w/the soft silicone sippy) are compatible with the avent nipples and nipple holder. I wish I would of known this sooner! I would of bought the nuby sippy cups sooner and not spend so much money on the bottles. I give the bottles 4 stars b/c they are durable but they are bulky. The nuby sippy cups are slimmer and hold 8 oz. My baby can't tell the difference! It's the Avent nipple on a slimmer, less expensive, bottle-cup!

never leaks - ever!!!! We've always used cruisers - they're perfect, especially since they never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, leakoh, did I mention that they never leak?

Awesome product I got this seat for my baby shower, and it is great. Althought i agree with people that say that is a bit to big but is worth it. THe fabric doesnt get as hot (I live in Miami) and my baby just looks totally confortable.

Disappointed Like other reviewers said, the spout is over one handle when completely tightened, not in between handles like it should be. Gerber is a known manufacturer of baby products and I was disappointed to discover the flaw in the design of this cup.

Works great Everyone on this page must not know how to use the monitor. I heard the baby's heartbeat just fine beginning from about the 3rd to 4th month of my wife's pregnancy (when we bought it) up until birth. And we didn't even have an instruction manual! You just have to be patient, because sometimes it will take 5 minutes or so to find the heartbeat, but once you find it, it is as clear as day. I wasn't really a big fan of purchasing this product, but my wife wanted it for peace of mind. The only reason I am giving this product 4 stars instead of 5 is because it costs so darn much. It does work, but you have to be patient and move the monitor around her stomach until you find the heartbeat.

You Have to Be Kidding Me!! $30 for this piece of junk?! I read about it in Reader's Digest and thought the author was joking. The little walk behind push toys are so much more useful and a lot cheaper! How is a harness going to give a child independence? SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! NOT WORTH IT!!

meh Maybe for a smaller woman it would be helpful. I am a pregnant size 14/16, xl in maternity and I noticed almost no support for my belly while wearing this. Also, it is a huge pain to move when going to the bathroom and readjusting. I would not recommend this product at all. I find the much wider belly bands with no hooks to be more supportive, and less hassle to wear.

Looks Great...Beware Particle Wood Construction! We bought this great looking table & chair (2) set in blue for my son when he was 2 years old. He loved eating his breakfast in the family room each morning, but because his hand-eye coordination wasn't quite fully developed he'd often spill his oatmeal & juice everywhere. So we ordered this table online from Wal-Mart and he was so excited when it arrived. It fit him absolutely perfectly! He used it constantly for eating, coloring, play-dough, puzzles, reading, or just sitting. It is very easy to put together, however, there is a fatal flaw in its construction.Unfortunately, while this table looks great, it's construction is very cheap. Underneath the solid veneers of the larger/thicker pieces of the table are nothing more than cheap, pressed particle wood. This is especially true in the table and chair legs. Within a year of purchase, the legs on our table began to wobble. Then they wobbled worse, and worse, and finally the fastening nut in one of the table legs popped out and it collapsed on my son. At first, I thought it was because he was putting too much pressure on the table top. But the truth was that the fastening nuts used to secure the legs to the tabletop are embedded in nothing but cheap, compressed particle wood. And while I will accept partial blame for the table collapsing because I have a tendency to overtighten screws and bolts on my son's furniture (I'm a new dad), I will not accept blame for the garbage materials used to construct this table. If the table and chair legs were made out of solid wood vice particle, then this incident never would have happened. Unfortunately, nothing is made of real, solid wood anymore...it's just too expensive and not very "green."So a word of caution. If you do buy this table, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the bolts on the table and chair legs. If you do, it will eventually cause the nuts in the legs to pull out of the particle wood. First, your table will wobble, and eventually the wobble will become so bad that it will render the table dangerous for a child to use.UPDATE: August 2012Ignoring my own review above, and not being able to find another table for my (now) 5 year old son, I purchased another one of these horrendous tables. This time, I assembled the table without tightening the screws too tight. I thought that might work, but something inside me knew that this table would not last the year...I was right.It has been less than a year and one of the table legs has already broken off specifically due to the tightening nuts inside the cheap particle wood coming loose, and then eventually ripping out completely. My son almost smashed his face in on the table this time when he pushed down on the table to get up from his chair. Ridiculous...these things are UNSAFE and should be completely removed from the market. I have a feeling these things are made in China.DO NOT BUY!!! DO NOT BUY!!! DANGEROUS!!! CHEAP!!! JUNK MATERIALS!!! SHODDY CONSTRUCTION!!!

Mold Problem We have used this tub daily since our son was a week old (he is now over four months). In general we like the tub. We had no problem putting it together, with leaking, or the suction cups. The sling in the tub does not always stay in place, but our son likes to wiggle too. We just keep a hand on him. The sling must be put upright to dry out or it leaves a mildew smell, but this would happen with anything that does not dry out properly. We wash it about once a week and we have no mildew smell. There is some rust on the metal that the sling goes on, but our biggest concern is with the cleanliness of the tub. We always stand the tub up and wipe it out after a bath. I have taken the tub completely apart (in two pieces) multiple times to find mold growing in the seam (where the foam is). I am very clean and wash his tub every time I wash our tub (about once a week). I did not want to use harsh cleaners in the tub, but it is necessary to put bleach where the mold is growing to ensure it is definitely dead. We have not purchased a new tub yet, but we probably will.

Not great for newborns. I first tried these when my son was 4 weeks old. Pampers SWADDLERS are MUCH better. I bought a huge package of these and I wish I hadn't. First of all they always leak. My son will fill up one of these diapers in no time and he always leaks pee out the sides and up his back. Second, because they don't hold much liquid, his poops also spill out. They leak poop up his back and around his legs (and he does not have skinny legs. He was born 9 pounds.) The diapers aren't that soft either and they have caused my son to get diaper rash. I assume its due to the fact that they're not very absorbent and that they're not that soft. I absolutely hate these diapers. I usually like Pampers brand, but I have huggies and Luvs diapers that I like better than these. I plan to just send them to his daycare and let them deal with them and I'll use diapers I like better at home.

It's a decent bottle cooler I got this cooler so that I could pack 4 nighttime bottles for my twins. It claims it can hold 6 bottles, and while that is possible there is NO room in the main compartment for any ice packs when doing that. The makers of this cooler expect you to ONLY put ice packs in the top zipper compartment. However, that won't keep the bottles cool enough in my opinion. So since we only ever pack 4 bottles we stick an ice pack on the bottom of the main compartment and stand an ice block upright in the middle (with 2 bottles on each side). This works perfectly to keep all 4 bottles cold throughout the night.We have used 4 oz Dr. Browns standard bottles and 9 oz Playtex Ventaire bottles and they fit fine. However, 8 oz Dr. Browns bottles may be a little too tall.

Best ever Before I bought this pillow for my wife she could never get comfortable and was up 5 or 6 times a night. She was constantly tossing and turning, she had tried other pillows and none of them worked. This product is a must for Pregnant women and their HUSBANDS! Don't wait to order this get it as early in your pregnancy as possible it will save you a lot of sleepless nights.

Car Seat Grabber I own this particular item. I bought it because my car has leather seats and my son's Century Breverra booster seat would not stay put. I have found it corrected the problem and is very useful. I recently bought another one for my newborns convertible car seat. It also help to keep the seats nice and clean.

Pink and Yellow version has a strong chemical odor One reviewer already said it a few months ago in August and I'll say it too now in November.This toy SMELLS BAD. Like REALLY BAD. Plastic naseau bad. Even after multiple washes. I even tried biting the toy myself and it tasted and smelled horrible. I felt a little like gagging. I was wondering why my baby never plays with it.Don't buy it.

dont really need these... I stopped buying these and my wipes no longer get "burned". I had alot of issues with my cloth wipes getting dried out, and it turns out the pad was absorbing all the moisture. I've stopped using them and no more browning or mildew. Go figure. :/

Just too small I had an older version of a first years diapering kit that we loved. We lost that one somewhere and I bought this to replace it. It's pretty, and compact, but it's just too small. It only holds two size-4 diapers, and I have to struggle to fit those in the pockets. The wipe case is fine, but I'd really rather be able to fit a small package of wipes in the bag, rather than having to fill the little plastic box with them all the time. The changing pad is small too. Overall, not really useful for any baby older than 6-8 months, I think.

went from luvs I used Luvs for my first child. So I assumed it would be the same for our second. Boy was I wrong. Pampers are the ONLY thing that keeps breastfed stools inside.

Not a good seat. My best friend had this for her first daughter, she is now buying a new one for her next child - the seat sits up really straight - and is really high up compared to alot of other bouncys. Her daughter would always slide to the side and almost fall off, so if she was ever in there, someone had to be there right next to her. I would not recommend this seat.The swing, however, is great.

Waste of money I have bought 3 sets of these and they are all a waste of time. They last a short period of time so within a few months to a year you would need to get another one; Initially I bought 2 sets one for home and one for grand parents who baby sit at times; the one at home spoilt really quickly as it was in use a mot more; then when I was looking for a replacement it was the only type available quickly in the stores here so I bought the third set,(which was a newer model) eventually all were useless and my kid is only 2 1/2 now. The only benefit is that it picks up all the sound in the room really clearly but there is a lot of static and interference from other objects especially mobile phones.

Foogo Review We're very happy with the Foogo sippy cup. Definitely is the most leak proof cup we've used with our kids, keeps drinks cold longer, is nice looking...works well. Only thing that could be negative about it is that it's a little heavy for our 1 year old to maneuver, but she mostly has no problem. We like the funky name, too.

It fits the Graco Travel Lite... BUT ...I expected far better. This is a great space-saving, travel pack n play, but all that these 'sheets' are is an EXTREMELY thin pillowcase with the back ripped off. No, I'm not kidding... I opened the package and stared in disbelief. Honestly, after doing more research, it's better to just use a standard/queen sized pillowcase and tuck the ends under. Oh and don't even remotely expect these 'sheets' to contain a blowout or pee... it goes right through to the pad.

A little higher maintenance, but better for baby... First of all, I'm sure you have read all the comments about "extra cleaning time". Trust me -- running the little brush through the vent and the tube takes an extra 3 seconds per bottle (yes, I counted), so do not let that scare you off using these bottles.The second most common complaint is leaking. We also had some leaks at the beginning, but there are 3 things you can do to prevent leaks (and yes -- prevent, not just reduce leaking; I have a "leak free" feeding history now that I follow these rules):1. If you are re-heating the bottle, unscrew the collar a little to let the hot air escape. If trapped in the bottle, the expanding hot air will force milk/formula up into the vent tube and you will have a leak. We use theNight & Day Bottle Warmer, and I had leaks after warming the bottle until I figured out the problem.2. Do not shake the bottle if you are preparing powdered formula or have reheated the bottle. Swirl the bottle or stir the formula (pop a few PLASTIC spoons in your sterilizer - microwaves don't like metal!), or shake it without the vent and tube in place. Shaking also forces liquid up into the vent.3. MOST IMPORTANT: Make sure the tip of the vent tube is clear of liquid when feeding the baby. Sounds obvious, but when you're focusing on your little guy/gal, you don't always pay attention to the bottle angle. If the tip of the tube is covered in formula or just barely above the surface, liquid will slop down the tube and leak out the vents under the nipple collar.We have been using the small 4oz bottles for our newborn son (now 3 weeks old), and he has very little burping and spitting up compared to nieces and nephews I have fed using other bottle brands. The Level 1 nipple flow seems to be fine, but there is also a Newborn nipple if your baby likes to feed more slowly.The biggest challenge with these bottles have been sterilizing all the parts. We have a microwave sterilizer (which works fine once you figure out where all the parts go). However, we switched to thePhilips Avent iQ24 Sterilizer, because it holds 6 of the 4oz bottles and all the parts (bottles, vent tubes, and 3 caps on the bottom, collars and beige vents in the middle basket, and nipples and 3 caps plus the assembly tongs in the top basket). I don't know how well all the parts and larger 8oz bottles will fit (or how many), but the convenience is there -- you can set a 24 hour sterilization cycle and leave it on overnight.All in all, we're very satisfied with these bottles, and would definitely recommend them.

Bought & Returned. This cover is soft terry cloth, but we bought the safety changing table pad deluxe by Dex Baby Products and you do not need this item (we returned ours). If your baby ever has an accident while you are changing them, you will end up washing more then you should have to. We just use the pad which is vinyl & easy to wipe down after changing.

LOVED this stroller! I typed "loved" because my 13 month old 26 pound 31 inch son has just outgrown it. I cannot see a 50 pound child fitting in this, even though it will supposedly hold one. Other than that, we love love loved it for over a year. Used it pretty much every single day, heavily. In the past month or so, it's gotten a little creaky and the treads on the tires are completely worn down. My only complaints are that the sun shade is a bit skimpy, the storage basket is a bit hard to get to, and the handles are not adjustable. That being said, my son has always loved this stroller so it must be pretty comfy. It is very lightweight and easy to maneuver. Easy to fold and unfold one-handed. Parent organizer pockets are handy, a good size for mail. The handles, fortunately, are a good height for me (I'm 5'6") and for my husband (5'11"), which we "test drove" several strollers for when I was pregnant. The handles are comfy too. It's fairly easy to maneuver through tight spaces.

Love it.. but We bought this stroller for our 8 month old and we love it. The only but is the straps could be a little more secure, but other than that it's great for the money.

best swaddler we've used We actually have two of these blankets now (blue and red trim) and have given a third (chocolate trim) to a friend who's expecting. These are by far and away the best blankets we have for swaddling. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are big enough to remain useful long after our baby outgrew his other blankets. They are also very soft. We also love the weight of them. Not too heavy. We used them all winter over footed things and sleep-sacks. Now that it's summer, we use them with onesies or just over a diaper. Great that they are organic too!

Love it! We purchased the Safer Bather after the birth of our second son. We had used a hard plastic tub when our 3 year old was born and didn't mind it at all. However, when I saw this product online, I knew I had to have it. It just looked so comfortable. Our newborn loved it immediatley. He absolutely loves bath time and stays so warm. I really enjoy it because on nights when Daddy works late, I can bathe both boys at the same time. Our washing machine is in the same bathroom, so I just toss it in the washer on the spin cycle to remove excess water and it dries quickly. I always lay a cloth diaper on it, just in case of an unexpected BM. It is also very portable when traveling away from home. What a great product. I wish I had one the first time around!

Pampers are the Best! Pampers are the best diapers! I will never buy any other diapers. My baby stays dry, she rarely wets through. Any other diapers she immediately soaks through to her clothes. Love the pampers!

still loves it! This was a favorite as soon as my son figured out that when he would bite it, it would vibrate. It either is really soothing or he just likes how it feels or something because hes 10mo old now and he still loves it...! Handle is great to put links around also to attach it to stroller or carseat!

Worth the money! We put off buying this gate because of it's price, but finally ordered it - it's worth every penny! Strong and sturdy for our active 18 month old, mounts to the wall easily - the gate has a small bit of flex, so the mounting brackets didn't have to be exact. We added an 8" extension and it was really easy also. The door works nice. It looks really good also - fits our small living room well. Our only regret is that we didn't buy it 6 months ago!

This is great! I love this product. I bought it for my 6 month old to be able to take a bath with her 3 year old sister. She can sit up in it so easily and to wash her hair, I just lay her down and the raised back keeps her head above water. I only gave it 4 stars because it already smells like it needs to be washed and I haven't had it that long. But other than that, I really love it.

Good stroller I like this stroller because it's compact and pushes nicely. I love that it reclines! The only thing I don't like is that sometimes I kick the wheels when I'm walking because they're close together, but most umbrella strollers are like that. All in all, it's a great stroller!

It doesn't fit my standard-size crib The crib I have bought is the standard size. Another crib set I bought from other place fits well. But the bumper in this crib set is too short in each side and the ruffle can't be put on, either. I have to return it.

Switched from Breastflow - works ok After the BPA news came out I reluctantly gave up my Breastflow bottles. My 6 mo old had no issues changing to this brand. I will echo the other reviewer's comments that the neck is way too narrow, it's difficult to get formula in without spilling. Also, the measurements are very difficult to read, they should fix that in future editions. It would be nice if they had a place on the base to click the cap to the bottle (so it doesn't get lost). Otherwise I do like the contour & design of them.

The gate was defective. This gate was made about 2 inches out of square, it would not close or latch, and would not fit properly in a doorway. At first I thought it had been damaged during shipping, but it was just made improperly. I would not recommend this product. I saw where someone else had this problem too, and I thought I would take a chance, since I liked the color and style, but no luck.

gross smell I got this product after being so annoyed with the smell of the Palmer's stretch mark cream. I wanted something with more natural ingredients as well. While it does have that, I expected the smell to be more pleasant. Although it is slightly better than the Palmer's smell, it still is gross to me. I guess just a personal preference.

Ripped before even getting on the plane! Other reviewers were right - this bag rips easily. We used it for our First Years umbrella stroller and when we sat it at the gate to be taken by the baggage handlers, we saw it had already ripped. Once we arrived at our destination we were able to sew it back up and it did not rip any further on the return trip. It is a nice roomy bag and we were able to stuff an extra blanket and our baby carrier in the bag as well. We'll use it on the next trip and see how it continues to hold up.

A Fan of Graco Bags In looking for a diaper bag for our second child, I deliberately looked for a Graco bag because of how well-organized and easy to clean the Graco bags are. I thought I might try something new and spent a good deal of time at both Target and Babies R Us poking through bags from different brands. I was always comparing these other bags to Graco's, and they came up short. I wasn't being particular about patterns, so I selected this bag because it came with an additional smaller bag, which has come in very handy for small trips with my toddler.

Perfect! Just what I needed! This crib is exactly what I needed as an extra crib and play yard to keep at Grandma's house. It sets up fast and fold up easy to keep in the closet when we're not visiting. Very cute colors and pattern. My only complaint would be that the mobile is pretty cheap, but that's not what I bought the item for, so I really don't even use it.

I use it every single day! I received this boppy pillow as a baby shower gift, and it is one of the only baby items that I would never do without. I breastfed and bottle fed my daughter, and I was comfortable using it for either. It also made rocking my baby more comfortable because it provided support for my arms. As my daughter got older, she enjoyed being propped up by the pillow so that she could look around. I would recommend this to any new mom!

Change for the worse I have used Pampers on my baby since she was a newborn. I don't know why Pampers changed the cruisers. It used to be soft, have a great cover lining and be very absorbent.Now they are very papery, they took out the lining and it takes minutes for the diaper to absorb the pee. Also, the absorbent material goes only half way up the diaper.So disappointed! Just bought a 180 ct box...

disappointed Well, first the good: the chair is beautiful, made of wood, easy to clean, adjustable as the child grows, the cushion for it (bought separately) fits perfectly and is washable.Now the reason for the 2 stars: The screw to screw in the tray has a metal head but screws directly into wood. After a few months of use, perhaps with the change in moisture content during the winter (I live in California, not especially known for extreme temperature and moisture changes)the screw became misaligned and wore out the wood. So it no longer screws in, so the tray which keeps the child secure no longer attaches so the $200 chair became unusable. To me that's unacceptable for a product in this price range. I went and got a $35 foldable highchair from Target and that still functions like new after two years.Now my child is over two and eats directly from the table without the use of a tray. So with a little ingenuity I reconfigured the old chair's straps and buckle to secure my child in the chair without the tray and now he uses the Euro-Baby highchair as just that: a high chair. So we're still getting something out of this purchase, but still a big disappointment.

A simple solution, nothing fancy but these work fine. I bought these for travel and to cover unused outlets throughout the house. We have a 10 month old and so far she has not been able to remove them. I'm not using them for outlets we use regularly, so I'm not sure how easily they come out with frequent use; but I have have used them in hotels and been able to pop then right out when we leave.

Impossible I'm trying every door knob cover I can find to keep my 2 year old from running a little too free. I thought these would do the trick, since the problem I have with the Safety First ones are that he puts his little fingers in through the lock hole and pops them off. I was wrong. No one in my house can open the door with these on! We have standard sized door knobs throughout the house, but these covers won't grip the knob. As hard as I squeezed on the tabs, the little amount of rubber inside never caught the knob.It's such a pity because they seemed to be fairly sturdy and I loved the idea of the lock hole being covered. Better luck next time!

hard to install I couldn't get these latches to work properly. The latch would engage when the cabinet is open a couple inches, but when you close the cabinet all the way, it doesn't stay latched. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but it was too frustrating so I'll pay more and see if the other choices are better.

Invest in the best...this is NOT it! I purchased this glider several mos before the birth of my daughter thinking it was a good value. For the first 4-5 months it was great! I used it frequently, as I breastfed and sat down in it 7-10x each day and rocked a LOT! Around 5 mos it started squeaking on each rock unless I sat at a specific angle, which is nervewracking when you're trying to get a baby to sleep. It would also squeak when I stood up to transfer her to the crib - which woke her on multiple occassions. Not tiny mouse squeaks, either. Rusty hinge type squeaks. Oiling and greasing give short-term relief.Around 6 mos one of the rungs under the glider splintered and I taped it back together with duct tape (I'm not a heavy gal, either, 5'10" and 150lbs). I wish that I'd gotten something with better low-back support, too. At this point we still use it but I truly wish I had invested more money in a better quality rocker-glider, since I knew I'd be using it a lot. This was not the value I thought I was getting. Live and learn...

MISINFORMED The item is misrepresented on Amazons website. This hamper is for a child and not for an adult. Now I have to return the item. Which means I have to spend money shipping it back and starting over to order the correct item. Which means spending more money. Amazon should say that it is a childs hamper like it said from Wayfair!! Unhappy

Great car seat I've seen a lot of complaints about using this car seat for infants beause it doesn't recline enough, but I'm surprised more people don't know that MANY car seats don't recline enough on their own. It all depends on the incline of your vehicle seat, and many times you need a rolled up towel or pool noodle to help recline the baby's car seat enough. My son outgrew the weight limit on his infant seat around 6 months old, and after a lot of research I replaced it with the Alpha Omega Elite. I've used this seat for 6-7 months and I love it so much I'm about to buy another one. The seat is bulky, especially rear-facing, and doesn't leave much leg room for a passenger in my front seat, but I don't mind that. It is comfortable, my son loves it (hated his Graco infant seat), it's easy to clean, and not too hard to get in and out of the car. What I love most is that at 14 months old, my son is 30 pounds but can still be rear facing in this seat. We were just in a fairly severe accident (rear-ended), and the paramedic/car seat inspector said this seat held up great. He said we didn't need to replace it, but I'm buying another one anyway.

Excellent! I am a true Pampers Cruisers believer. I've tried other brands briefly but this line works best on my 2-year-old, and I have not had as many problems with leaks and blow-outs. I definitely like the added convenience of ordering the value-sized box online. One less thing to struggle with at the grocery store, with a toddler in tow!

Waste of Money I have rated this a waste of money as the stroller doesn't properly fit any car seat - it was not made for a specific system. My husband thought this was a great item and yet can't get the car seat to fit securely. I have used this product a couple of times and would rather have the bulky stroller that came with my car seat with me instead as you can be sure the car seat is locked and will not move. With the Snap 'N Go the car seat moves and the strap that they provide to hold the car seat for better security doesn't fit properly.I would definately say unless your stroller/car seat company doesn't have one of these, don't purchase it! The only advantage is that it is small. Definately not worth the $50 you pay!

Not Recommended. Get the Swaddlers instead. My sister gave us a package of Pampers baby-dry diapers so we decided to try one on a recent diaper change. These diapers are awful! The sticky (not velcro) tabs don't stretch and the diaper doesn't fit as well as Swaddlers and bunch up between the legs. Are these made from recycled paper? Pampers Baby-Dry & LUVS are basically the same diaper since they are both made by Proctor & Gamble and are both bargin brands. Stick with Swaddlers, Cruisers, or Huggies.

Bad 2 weeks of use. It doesn't shut off so it overheats and smells like burnt plastic. Dangerous item.When it was working, it is really long to heat up a bottle on top of the headache to figure out the amount of water to add. My screaming hungry baby hated it, took many minutes for a 3oz bottle and it was either too cold or too hot.

Waste of money This thing is very hard to figure out. One setting gets the bottle too hot too fast, try another setting for 15 min's and you still have cold milk! I tried to use it for 3 months... finally gave up. Save the money. Warm water in the microwave and stick the bottle in that... Sometimes we need to listen to our mom's and grandma's - they didnt have these and we turned out fine!

Worth every penny This product kept my son engaged and occupied for a long time- he loved the lights, sounds and hanging animals. We were very happy with this product and how it grew with our son until he was old enough to sit up. It was nice that the music was not as annoying to adults as some of the other mats. Easy to clean and re-essemble.

Not the best The mat didn't lay flat or stay suctioned to the table. Milk cups repeatedly fell over due to this and rolled off table. It wasn't very easy to clean without soaking it everyday. We liked the thickness of it and thought the part the hung over the table was a good idea, but it just made a worse mess when the kids leaned over it.

Excellent product. Because of this gate, we can still have a Christmas Tree! We bought this gate because we have 1 1/2 year old twin boys that are into everything! It was easy to install and fit into an awkward space where we were able to put our Christmas Tree and gifts. I highly recommend the gate, it is flexible, high quality and easy to install. The only problem we had was with the wall anchors (those little plastic things that go into the wall and your screw goes into them). The anchors kept breaking so pick a few up at your local hardware store ahead of time!

There are better options For most situations, these should work fine. However, my 9 month old baby was able to pick at it and remove it in about 15 seconds. Not saying that all babies will do this, but it really should grip the outlet better to prevent certain babies from being able to defeat them.

awesome stroller i looked at all the double strollers and this one really is the best. it's so easy to maneuver with one hand. sometimes my 2 year old wants to walk, and i am able to hold her hand and push the stroller with the other hand with no problems. every once in a while i might be trying to get thru a doorway and its a little difficult but thats usually because one of the front wheels is turned out. the reasons i chose this stroller as opposed to the other models out there (maclaren, combi, aria) are because i love how easy it is to open and close, i love the bench seats, the seats recline with a lever (not a cumbersome tether strap like the junky aria, and the maclaren has a complicated set up to recline the seats, you have to push both sides at the same time)with the zooper you just lift the lever and recline, the canopy is awesome - nice and big and provides great coverage (still use sunscreen though!)it feels very sturdy despite being lightweight (the combi just felt cheap). i cant say enough great things about this stroller. plus i bought it new for 299.00 thats a great buy. plus it came with a boot, a rain cover and another sunshade. you wont be sorry if you buy this stroller!

Hate It Hate It Hate It I have a terrific milk supply and can pump out 5oz in 10 minutes with an electric pump. With this pump I can pump out 1 oz in maybe 15 minutes. I have to concentrate to "let down" which I don't have to do with other breast pumps or when baby nurses. I find it difficult to maintain suction with this pump, also a problem I've never had before. I couldn't dislike this pump any more if you paid me to. Congratulations to everyone who uses this pump successfully and loves it. It didn't work for me.

Love it! Love it!! Love it!!! We finally bought this after dealing with the Eddie Bauer system. Needless to say the EB went back. The Cortina system is the best. The stroller is lightweight and easy to handle. It has a big basket for storage & you can easily get to it with the stroller reclined, has a cupholder & storage for mom & dad, the snack tray lifts up to access my son in the stroller, and many other perks. The car seat is excellent. The base is so wide that it barely moves. It has a leveling bubble to see that it is installed properly. The carseat is big and roomy - my son is 27 inches long & 17 lbs. This carseat has plently of room for him to grow. The Cortina is a little more expensive, however it is so worth the money. I would highly recommend this to anyone not sure which system to buy.

Didn't work This item felt like it was working, that is I got the "tiggle" and the hair "fell" out but grew back, I have treated the same hair 3x and it is still coming back. I was optimistic when I ordered it, hopeful when I used it and discourage when I couldn't return it! The return policy allows for 30 days and the item directions say to use it for 60 days.... the math doesn't quite add up.... anyway I wouldn't buy this item again, although I would SELL it to you for 1/2 the price I paid if you want to take your chances.... shopgirl6691@comcast.net

4 bottles? I think not... I was really excited to get this item as I send 4 bottles to my daycare providers everyday, and I thought it would snap right onto the side of my daughter's diaper bag for easy travel. Ummmmmm, I'm not quite sure why they advertise that this thing can fit 4 bottles, because I fit 3 (8 oz) EXTREMELY TIGHTLY and then once I added the ice pack there was NO POSSIBLE way to close it. Not to mention if you have wide neck bottles; (like Avent, Born Free, or Dr Browns) good luck. I tried my NUK bottles too without success. The only ones I could fit in there were the 4 oz bottles, and only 3 with the ice pack; it was still so tight I nearly busted the zipper off trying to close the darn thing! Anyway, I'll save it for a rainy day and hope that some other use comes of it. I definitely would have bought something else had I known, I'm pretty bummed.

GREAT Walker! Love this walker an the most important reason it deserves 5 stars is because unlike the scissor fold walkers, this one is SAFE and will NEVER collapse! Colors of the walker are great, rolls over carpet, tiles and rough slate all with EASE! Toys are lame, most babies won't pay any mind to them when they can't easily get them to make noise and the two mix n move toys are pastel and uninteresting so they don't scream for attention, other annoying things would be the seat is a little of a pain to get out to wash (go to graco replacement parts website and buy a spare for accidents!) These negatives don't even make a dent on this walker though, it's SAFE, is a smooth ride, has great brakes and my son ADORES it! Oh and it was CHEAP monetarily, not cheaply made !

Potty Chair I bought this for my 2 year old daughter to help with potty training. We also have theMommy's Helper Contoured Cushie Step Upbut that is a little difficult for her to get to the top step and turn around on her own so we wanted something she could use a bit more autonomously and that we could bring with us for potty stops during a driving vacation. This potty fits that bill however, my two concerns with it are making sure she sits square on it so she doesn't land on the spray guard and hurt herself. Also, one time she was sitting on it and stood up to adjust herself and the white potty part stuck to her bottom so when she went to sit down again, somehow she got a tiny bit of her skin pinched between the white removable part and the red main body part. It really hurt so now whenever she uses it, I make sure to un-stick the seat from her skin before she sits down again. Other than those two points, it seems like a good enough potty. I don't know if it's helping her learn to go any faster than any other potty seat but it had good reviews and she fits well on it (she's very tall for her age).

great for certain uses I now own four slings/carriers, including this one. This one is great for walks and for wearing around the house if you are a serious baby wearer (as I am). The disadvantages are that it is very warm, so in hot climates (like south texas) it's not useful for outdoors except in the winter. It is also difficult to remove a sleeping baby without waking her--well, impossible. Other drawbacks are that it's difficult to nurse in (i can't do it). However, it is very comfortable and much easier on the back than other carriers.

Ours broke which is very dissapointing!! This ladybug has served us well unfortunately for a very short time. We got this for our baby at christmas. Around march it stopped showing the green and blue lights. It only works on red and the button sticks. We have tried changing the batteries but that isnt the problem. Its unfortunate because this is a great idea and great product but the quality just isnt there. If you get one that works that is great because you will love it!!

Great Potty My little girls likes using this over the other potty that we got, personally i think it works better than other, cheaper ones, i like the hard seat so she doesnt want to sit there forever, and it forces her to get in the proper "position" which she doesnt always achieve the other potty.

Unbelievable I bought these diapers for my 6 month old daughter after using Swaddlers since she was born. The coupon was only for the Baby Dry and with a name like that, would you think anything else than a dry baby??? Guess again. These diapers are terrible. Of course I got the largest quantity too, 246 diapers, for $38.99. Boy I thought I was making out like a bandit! I changed my daughter tonight at 6:15 and it's 8:15 and she's soaked through to her clothes. And every single morning after sleeping a full 10 hours, she's got wet sheets and blankets. I cannot believe how disappointing this item is. I am shocked that Pampers even makes a diaper like this, when they have Swaddlers on the market. Please, if you are reading this before you switch over, DO NOT BUY THE BABY DRY. I am devastated that I am stuck with 200 more of these awful diapers.

Great glider for the recent parents. I've had this glider previously for over 3 years and no problems with squeaks. I purchased another for my sister who is due soon. This review is for all the other people who left feedback about the squeaking. As soon as received my first glider, i oiled ALL the bushings and movinvg parts. And kept oiling them throughout the years. I'm being proactive and taking apart my sister's and applying grease to the metal and bushings. If you research the $400+ gliders, they're made of the same material and bushings and squeak as well. So the way i see it, $100 glider or $400 glider, you make the choice. Oh, and don't forget, OIL YOUR CHAIR!!!

Buying this stroller could be tragic DON'T BUY THIS STROLLER if you are over 5'2 inches !! Maybe this a great stroller... but earlier today it gave me the scare of my life !!!When you are walking, if you are too tall (I am 5'5)your feet bump the wheels of the stroller. It doesn't seem like a huge problem until the wheels make you trip up and fall....which happened to me today. I watched in horror as I fell, the stroller kept moving toward the street going over the curb. Thank god it stopped right at the edge of the road and we live on a pretty quiet street. It's just not worth the chance you might take by buying this.It might be great if you are shorter but as for me...I will never, ever use it again.

Disappointed I was very excited when I read about and ordered this product, but it did not live up to my expectations. Maybe it was because our tub is too curved, but I could not secure the bottom bar. (I was able to secure the top bar though.) Anyway, it does not fit ALL standard tubs and tub openings 19 - 26 inches, as advertised. Too bad!

This item is terrific.... I think that this has be really helpful w/helping our sons head to "fill out"... I noticed after about a month that all of the sleeping on his back and playing and sitting in his "toys" that he was noticeably flat at the back of his head... he also HATED any kind of tummy time... (i think a lot of children hate it when you don't introduce them to tummy time from the start and it's not stressed enough to new moms i dont think).... BUT... i've purchased two of these. One is at his sitters house (the first one we purchased, the denim fabri) and we use this minky one all the time at home.... when he's playing in his little excergymthingie and even in his swing. he's slept in it as well (and yes i'm aware they dont recommend that, but he's not rolling over yet & i'm supervising)... So I most certainly and wholeheartedly recommend this item... along w/starting them on tummy time RIGHT AWAY. I also prefer the minky fabric over the denim fabric... however either item is well worth it!

Don't even bother I registered for this monitor because of the two receiver feature and because the 900 mHz technology was supposed to be the best. We already used the Fisher Price prenatal to nursery monitor during my pregnancy, but we thought that this one would be better for everyday use. From day one there was static, but I just thought that all monitors must do that. It got worse with time- neither channel would come in clearly (the second channel never did work), we would get a loud static noise about every 30 seconds that was impossible to sleep through, and it would pick up phone conversations from our neighbor every night at midnight. Still, we figured it was because we lived in a subdivision with several neighbors and baby monitors. However, the real test was when we visited my husband's parents at their country home. There are NO neighbors there, nothing to interfere, and the monitor was still so full of static that we couldn't hear our son. Finally, one night out of desperation we pulled out the old Fisher Price monitor. It was totally static-free, and we are still using it. The "Peace of Mind" monitor will go in the trash.

dont buy it! Dont buy it! I used it for 2 weeks and it worked just fine -- was able to get 4 oz within 7 minutes, then all of the sudden, it stopped working. It would still pull at my nipple but nothing would come out -- I would constantly have to readjust the sheild to get more. I called customer service and they said that it was a lactation issue but with another pump I have no problems. DONT GET IT! Buy a hands-free one so that you can walk around the house - you dont want to be tied down to the machine.

Let Mr.Herzher reside in this piece of JUNK! The ONLY good thing about this item is that is better than average looking. My 7 lb. Maltipoo CHEWED through the plastic spindley strappings, which are supposed to hold this thing together. I absolutely DO NOT recommend ANYONE buying this for their pet.

Great brush but doesn't stand the test of time This brush is perfect for Dr. Brown and other bottles. The nipple cleaner works great on our Dr. Brown nipples. But the brush doesn't hold up that well and I am already on my second one in 6 mos. Then again, I wash a lot of bottles and it is fairly cheap.

Don't waste time or money on this! From the time she began to crawl, our daughter could defeat this. She would either pull it out and away from the VCR, or push the buttons through the plastic. (not stable, no way to keep it in place, etc.) We finally broke down and got an entertainment center with doors that we could hide all the electrical equipment in, returned these and bought locks for the cabinet doors.

They work, not sure I would go with them again if I had the choice We've been relatively happy with these bottles, but I think we may have gone with something different if we had done any research. We got these from the lactation consultant's office a day after our daughter was born in a panic of needing to buy something. Our daughter was breast fed mostly, but used these a few times a week.Venting system: I do hear air going back in the back end, so I suppose it is doing its job to some degree, but I also see air going back in through the nipple.Ease of washing: I dont think the five parts are all that difficult to wash/keep track of. The bottom stopper does take a bit of attention to make sure formula isnt remaining there after washing though. Dont use a bottle brush and put it through the bottom stopper... it can cause it to tear and leak. We've generally handwashed the bottles and parts, but have put them through the dishwasher with success.Leaking: We ususally have at least one bottle a week that leaks. We havent been able to identify the exact cause, because as far as we can see, they're clean and assembled correctly. The only time we had a consistent leak to troubleshoot, it was due to the bottom stopper having a tear in the inner ring.Replacement parts: I'm really confused as to why the bottom stoppers are not available in most stores. Also, why do they sell three packs of bottles and only two packs of nipples? So we have nine bottles and eight nipples. Silly.Having not used anything else, I can't really compare. Parents in our parent's group seem to all use something different and they all seem happy with their choice whether it was the Dr. Browns, Medela, etc.

Don't travel without this We just took our first trip with this. It is a must-buy for any parent who travels regularly. We used to take our stroller AND carseat on every trip - and carry both through the airport - talk about cumbersome! But, we want our daughter strapped into a car seat in-flight, as well as be able to use our stroller for all the walking through airports. Now, we have one piece that does both! I found it to be easy to strap into airplanes or cars. The stroller pushes and steers well, despite a handle that does not extend high enough in my opinion. I will say that it's NOT easy to convert to a stroller from a car seat or vice versa with the child IN the seat. Our daughter is 27lbs and it's way too heavy and awkward to do that. Also, while my daughter doesn't seem to mind, I noticed that the seat does not have a lot of padding and it does not breathe - my daughter gets very sweaty when she's in it for a long time. Other than that, I'm satisfied with it and am so glad we got it. Makes things SO much easier! Anything that cuts down on the amount of stuff you need to travel with is a good thing, in my book!

Love them We love these diapers. We do part cloth but mostly these diapers. I love knowing they are much better for the environment and my baby. We have no diaper rash with these diapers. You can order them in bulk online for cheaper, but many stores carry them as well. I wish all diaper companies would get on board and improve diapers for our world and for the babies.

Works as described Good price for name brand product. A bit thinner plastic than the generic brands and needs to be full of water in order to accurately measure water.

Wonderful until its washed The concept is perfect. It's perfect to take with you for those times like traveling and wanting to let your baby roll around in the airport while waiting for your flight. First time I washed it following instruction, I noticed little bit of stuffing came out. No biggy. Next time I washed it, it came covered in its stuffing that is stuck on and does not brush off. With a young baby licking and sucking on everything, I cannot use this anymore. I was heartbroken since I am still not able to find a travel mat like this that is cushioned enough and folds up so nicely with handle. Beautiful concept but I will be returning this product.

Noisy pump motor and clumsy to use Used for barely a month and found that pump motor became very noisy after 2 weeks of constant use. Not sure if it's because the motor is meant to be used in the USA, and I'm based in Singapore. I find the system rather clumsy. The wires joining the motor to the pump are entangled and this causes the bottles (when fitted into the pump) to topple easily. So far, I've only used it at home, so not sure how it'll work out once I have to use it at work. Suction is also not as good as manual pump (I had an Avent manual pump before I bought this). Other than that, it's pretty decent as my milk supply did increase steadily and it takes me half the time to express my milk, as compared to when I was using a manual pump.Can consider buying if you're using Avent products currently, e.g. steriliser, bottles, etc. and if you're living in USA. I'm rather disappointed that I can't do a 1-to-1 exchange from the Singapore office. If there's any malfunction with the product, I have to send it back to the USA as the warranty is not an international one. Need to weigh the pros and cons between getting it cheap from Amazon.com and after sales service.

Waste of money I received this as a gift, but should have returned it. It was difficult to open and get the batteries in. The worst was that it only played a few times before the batteries wore out. Save your money and get a CD player that plugs in.

A good gate for the price This gate is a good product for the price, and makes a very adequate pet gate for all but the most determined dogs. It is low enough for a person to step over without too much difficulty, although this may also hold true for cats and larger dogs, who can easily jump over it. My only gripe about it is that the wooden slots that are used to adjust the gate width sometimes prevent an exact, tight fit in an individual doorway. This is particularly noticeable in an old house like mine, where the door openings are often less than square. But all in all, it works for me, and I would recommend it to anyone as an inexpensive pet or baby gate.

Broke Right Away! Although I too, eagerly anticipated this product, I was sorely disappointed when the lid broke off after only a few days. Another downfall of this product is the fact that the wipes on top dry out, regardless if you add extra water. In fact the wipes on the bottom become quite soggy with the extra water! Because of these design flaws, I no longer recommend this product to friends or family.

Lousy design We have used the Old model of Seventh generation diapers for nearly a year for my son and recently switched to the new and improved fit. Since then my son has had some rashes and also some marks on his thighs and it is also not as absorbent as the old model.
