Worth every penny
I couldn't be happier with this stroller. We live in a residential part of town, where we try to do at least two strolls a day. If you do the math, using the Bugaboo for two years every day provides comfort for your baby and yourself for about a dollar a day. This stroller is ideal for babies like mine who would not face forward without raising hell in a Maclaren XLR type stroller, which weighs the same. I haven't had any problem carrying this up and down the subway steps with an 18 lbs baby in it (haven't had to do it with a heavier baby), but I may be on the fitter side. When it comes to assembly this stroller is fool-proof, while the folding/unfolding takes a little getting used to. I've washed it once with no change in color - the prettiest orange color that suits both boys and girls. The best part is the maneuverability - easy one hand operation with the safety strap on the wrist. The suspension makes for a very smooth ride. Overall I would highly recommend this buggy. | 1positive

Love this snuggly baby blanket!
I am hoping to redeem myself with my review on this Baby Star product because I hate the Baby Star burp cloths. This blanket is so unbelievably soft and beautiful. I kept this one for my nursery (I am a grandmother) but gave the Baby Star Cotton Candy blankets as gifts to my daughter-in-laws. They loved them. The texture of the Cotton Candy blanket is furry like a stuffed animal so I think I like this one more but both are the softest blankets I have ever seen. I embroidered the baby's names on the satin on the other blankets and it turned out beautiful and luxurious. Both girls wanted to use the blankets to bring the babies home from the hospital. You can not go wrong buying this for yourself or giving it as a gift. | 1positive

Great for Newborn - But that's about it.
This tub is so nice looking. Fisher Price really put thought into how the tub looks. When my son was an infant it was great. Perfect in fact, but he reached 25 inches at 2& 1/2 months. Too big for the sling & not old enough to have total head control. I took out the sling & wow what a horrible time. I had to hold him the WHOLE time. It was horrible. Half his body stuck out of the back of the tub. Keep in mind you can't lay them down cause there is that hump there. I did call Fisher Price & they had me send it back & gave me a voucher for anything else I'd like to get. so in all it wasn't that bad. I got another tub the Safety First & so far so good. It is deep enough where he can sit unassisted & its great. Please do your research BEFORE buying.. It'll save you some time & energy. | 0negative

Great gate - could be five stars with one design update
We've been very pleased with these gates. We originally had the Summer Infant extra tall gates, but replaced them with these. The Summer Infant gates can be opened by crawling babies, so as an infant gate they are an epic fail.These First Years Hands Free Gates, however, work very well. They really are secure, and much more convenient for adults to open and close by stepping on a pedal. It's actually nice that they don't close automatically, because we leave them open when the babies are asleep or when we're carrying groceries or laundry.The only design flaw is the width of the gate. Look at the picture. There's the gate, then there are two bars between the gate and the wall. Why? I sure would like to have those six wasted inches applied to widening the gate. Then I could get the laundry basket through it instead of over it. Especially handy when you prefer not to pitch down the stairs. | 1positive

Disappointed in this swing
I received this swing for a shower gift and was very excited to use it. It worked fairly well when our daughter was about 1 1/2 to 3 months old. However, the dangling toys hit her in the head (my husband used duct tape to keep them out of her face) because she couldn't sit perfectly centered. The carrying handle is also problematic because it's tricky to get the baby in and out without hitting her head. We put it away because she slumped over one too many times and her head hit the swing arm. Once she was sitting better we tried again. Same problem only worse because she was larger, and this time (at 4 months) her head got stuck between the seat and the swing arm. We put it away again until 5 months when she's sitting very well with just a tiny bit of support. It's now being put away for good. She slouched over again and this time her head really got wedged between the seat, the swing arm and the upright support. She does enjoy the swing with it's lights and music as long as I sit right in front of her and keep adjusting her, however, this defeats the goal of being able to eat dinner while she's swinging and entertained. | 0negative

What no one tells you about sizing
First off, I really love this product. It's the quickest, easiest way to swaddle my baby girl, who sleeps much better at night when she's securely wrapped up. We went with this kind of swaddle over a blanket because she has been a "mobile sleeper" since birth, and always managed to wriggle out of our blanket swaddle. Note that these notes below pertain to the small size.Now - here's what you need to know about sizing, based on my three months of experience and multiple attempts to get it right.- There are three kinds of swaddle fabrics at the time I'm writing this:1. Flannel (in the gingham prints)2. Fleece3. Cotton jersey (like a t-shirt). This variety has the most options in terms of patterns and colors.I've arranged them in that order because that's the order of smallest to largest. The flannel variety stretches, well, not at all. It's the smallest of the three types of fabrics, therefore, in terms of fit. (My daughter outgrew her small size swaddle at 13 pounds, after washing it a few times - even though it's supposed to fit up to 14.) The fleece variety does stretch a bit - she's now 15 pounds and this still fits her.The cotton variety is the stretchiest one - and it REALLY stretches. The first time after I wash and dry it, it's pretty snug. But if I'm lucky enough to get 2 or 3 nights of use out of it, by the third night it's considerably bigger than it was. I just bought another small cotton one and my baby's 15 pounds.What's more, I just bought a flannel gingham swaddle in large, and that fits her great. (But the cotton variety in large was HUGE and I'm returning it.) Anyway - hope this is helpful to all of you out there. This is a great product and I wish you luck! | 1positive

Awful
Speaking specifically about the front-facing position (that is, a small infant facing inward), I really hate this product. It is complicated to learn how to use, and very awkward to put on without someone's assistance-- useless to me, since I need a carrier when I am home alone doing chores. It has very awkward side clips that are hard to fasten when the baby is loaded, resulting in an angry baby and an irritated parent. The strap that goes across the back is difficult to reach without help. Once the baby is loaded, her head bangs against your chest when you walk around. Every time I have tried to use it, I just get mad. Why on earth would someone design such an annoying and complicated product for use with an infant? | 0negative

Great bottle drying rack for small spaces
This is one of the best items I've purchased for my little one. I use the Dr. Browns bottle which have several parts. Washing and drying them was a big hassle until I found this drying rack. It has two levels with the spindles to dry the bottles and the flat racks to dry caps, bottle rings, etc. It doesn't take up much space either, which is super. It can be set in a corner on the kitchen counter near the sink, or wherever, as it doesn't take up too much space. One drawback though is that it is open and gets dusty, so needs to be dusted/cleaned every so often. Otherwise, a great drying rack. | 1positive

The Best Gate for Stairs
Yes, this is a bit involved to mount, but you get an extremely sturdy, attractive gate that is impossible for kids to climb. My worst issue has been needing to teach adults how to open it; I am glad it's not obvious though, as that means my 13month old will be plenty agile on the staris before she figures it out for herself.I got my first on when my daughter was born to keep my dogs out of the upstairs, it continues to serve the whole family, well. I am getting a 2nd for the bottom of the stairs and maybe a third for a hallway now that I will have two babies in the house. | 1positive

Falling to the side
This bouncer is nice with the vibrating option, although once my daughter was just a few months old she could lean to the side and almost fall out- the seat belt would still hold her in, but her body would be parallel to the ground. I am constantly having to place her back in the middle of the seat. I would not recommend this bouncer to new mothers. | 0negative

One of the best items for baby!
This snuzzler is one of the best items I purchased for my baby. It's definitely great to have it before baby arrives so you can take her home in it. It keeps baby from flopping all over the place. It's so soft and warm too. Perfect for a winter baby, but I used mine in summer and it was great then too. I used it for about three months and it was really worth it! | 1positive

More like a rocker
I found this swing to be very easy to set up and convienent, however, my baby hates it! It's more like a rocker and less like a swing. It swings very slow and the back and forth motion is short. I thought that he wouldn't know the difference, but he certainly does! | 0negative

will not last
We've owned these chairs for four months and they've fallen apart. They were being used in a playroom with five young children, with average appropriate usage, and the joints are so rickety, the chair will no longer stay together. I'm very disappointed. This is one instance where I used Amazon reviews to gauge this purchase, and I am not pleased at all. Pass this product over. | 0negative

The Cheapest deal !!!
It's the cheapest deal ever.23 cents per a diaper.Comparing other deal in this site........104 daiapers pack for $29.99 = 29 cents for a diaper.50 diapers pack for $14.99 = 30 cents/a diaper.Comparing a deal other location....."Toy's Us" sell 50 diapers pack for $13.99.(it means 28 cents for a diaper.)"Costco" sell 126 diaper pack for $29.99(it means 24 cents for a diaper.)So....it's the best deal, isn't it? | 1positive

Helpful to position your baby if you're willing to take other health risks...
I'll give this 2 stars because it helped to position the baby, but propping up a couple of big pillows does the same. My main concern was that this pillow had a really strong odor when I opened the contents and immediately I realized I made a mistake in my purchase after getting just about everything else made out of organic materials. Polyurethane Foam and in China. I'm taking it outside to see if it ever airs out, but sadly it will probably end up in a landfill where it will never decompose. So much for trying to be all natural and organic."Some of the health hazards listed on manufacturer material safety data sheets (MSDS) for polyurethane foam include: possible cardiac arrhythmias, breathlessness, chest discomfort, irritation of mucous membranes, headache, coughing, asthma-like allergic reaction, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, blurred vision, and reduced pulmonary function.The EPA has identified several chemicals used in the fabrication of polyurethane foam as hazardous air pollutants (hydrochloric acid, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, and hydrogen cyanide)." | 0negative

pain in the neck
I love the look and the function of this carrier but it hurts my neck and back. If you are in shape and muscular on top this would work great for you but if your idea of working out is chasing kids around and are carrying around a "few" extra pounds like me, you should stick to a stroller. | 0negative

Very Disappointed
I have 2 of these mirrors, one in the plaid pattern and one in the brown leather/suede. How 2 of the exact same mirrors can be so different is beyond me. While the leather one is great (so far), the plaid one has fogged up and cannot be wiped clean, making it almost impossible to see my daughter. The sticky tab that can be used when not mounting it on a headrest held for about 10 minutes and then continually fell forward. When I finally moved it to a headrest, I was tightening the strap and it snapped right in 2 making the entire mirror impossible to use at all! It's a needed accessory but this one disappointed me. | 0negative

too fast, daughter refused
The weird X in the top (instead of a hole) made fluids pour too easily from the nipple. My daughter wouldn't use them and they were a waste of time. On the other hand, they were the final step in weaning her off the bottle (at two years). So, they're good for that. | 0negative

Anxious to return this product!
The diaper holder is a great convenience. The warmer unfortunately is more of an inconvenience than anything else. The lid does not close tightly enough, so all the diapers dry out. By the time you get to the bottom ones, they are so dry and burnt, you may as well use cold wipes! | 0negative

Avent is the BEST
I have to say without a doubt Avent is the best bottle on the market! We started using them when my son was about 3 weeks old. They maked the adjustment from nursing to bottle feeding wonderful. We also love the awesome variety of products they offer. The magic cup is a great transition for my son now that he is 5 mths. Please try them for yourself and I know you will enjoy them as much as I have. | 1positive

Quality Control Needed
We tried two of these swings with poor results. We had to send the first back because it would stop working while plugged in. We had to send the second back because the motor on the mobile was malfunctioning. Two is enough for us, I don't want to deal with a potential "strike three." I'm glad that Amazon is so good with returns, but repackaging that swing was a pain! | 0negative

Excellent choice!
Our daughter LOVES this playpin and so do we! It's extremely easy to set-up and take down. I love the colors, the stuffed animals are cute and entertain her. The bassinette is large and sturdy and gives her lots of room to move around. The mattress is soft and the pattern is bright and colorful. It's also not heavy and easy to tote. My only two concerns are with the activity panel, each song is particularly short and even on it's high setting the music isn't really loud enough. Our daughter is 15 weeks right now so I'm sure once she's older she'll be able to interact with the panel better and won't need me to press the buttons.Over all we are 100% satisfied with the purchase, it is safe, afforable, practical and cute! I would highly recommend this playpen to everyone. | 1positive

Poor quality plastic
I gave this product 2 stars because on the bottom of the cups the plastic cracks and leaks milk/juice. The handles come off the bottom easy and when done enough it cracks the plastic. I had them only for a month and they started leaking. Other wise they are really cute cups and I like the rubber sippy. | 0negative

Couldn't do without it
The snap 'n go is so easy and convenient. It's small and easy to manipulate around small spaces, especially in department stores. It's lightweight and folds up easily with one hand. And I love the parent tray and the storage net underneath, too. Altoghter a wonderful buy! I couldn't live without it! | 1positive

Not a good thing
I was initially pleased to find an olive oil based soap for sale, but this was a profound disappointment. I tried it on my hands when it arrived. The first thing I noticed was the smell. It is strongly (!) perfumed and smells like cheap cologne.It cleans perfectly well, but my hands were left feeling stretched and dry, later itchy with a film on them. The itch subsided after I washed again with my usual soap. It is possible that I am sensitive to cheap cologne, but who would imagine an olive oil based soap would smell so horrible? It says in the description that it is a "fresh, herbal green scent", but not so.Be warned. If you don't want to smell like that, don't buy this soap. It's not cheap in price, unfortunately. | 0negative

4 in 1 Bath Station-Not worth your money & Time
I registered for this bath tub when I was pregnant because of all the great features, however when I got it I should have put it right back in the box and took it back! The sling idea is great, but its too steep for a newborn so they slide right down in the water. I got to where I would just use the sling by it self when he was a little older. My son hated this bath tub from the first moment, He cried and fought me every time we tried to use it. We also had the evenflo bath tub, which he loved! The 4 in 1 Bath Station is a great concept, poor design, Its kinda bulky, and doesn't fold up very small. Its hard to make the latches snap, and it leaks!! This tub makes a great toy box, poor bath tub! :@( | 0negative

Potential Hazard
I bought this monitor from Babies R Us and immediately had to return it. It did not work straight out of the box. Believing this to be a fluke, I exchanged it for the same model. This one worked well for about 6 months and then the AC adaptor cracked in half (we presume from the heat that the adaptor was generating) ??? We were alarmed by this but bought a new adaptor. After having the monitor for a little over a year, it just "gave out". No picture, no sound, etc. We contacted the company whose warranty expired at one year. Overall, this is an expensive product to have so many problems. I am sure there are better alternatives! | 0negative

Graco Owners, PLEASE dont waste your time.
Where do I start? This is a miserable piece of junk, first off, the model I got, had a manful defect, I could not move the snap bar into the #1 position, tried, drew blood, tried again, packed up, took back to BRU last night, got a second one, same manuf problem. I then read the many reviews from Graco owners and I would like to address one of the suggestions and have you sit and think about my views before you click on the buy button, or go to a BRU to pick one of these up of you own a Graco infant seat..There have been reports of people taking off the snap bar, and putting the other bar that you normally throw away into position 3 and it works.Here is my main question. Do you want to honestly risk the safety of your child on rigging this stroller to "work" with your car seat, in a manner that is not designed or sanctioned by the manuf? Do you want to risk the injury or death of your infant of the stroller fails after rigging it this way? This is a very serious question; one I sat down and thought long and hard, I thought, I love my 5 day old daughter so much that I did not want to risk her injury or death... If something happened and your child was injured, there would be no recourse for you legally against the manuf since it was being using in a manner it was not designed for.This is a sturdy stroller, its easy to use, Baby Trend has updated the design of it somewhat from an earlier version I saw earlier this year. Now Baby Trend really needs to take Graco seats off the supported list or do another redesign. Especially since Graco just came out with the Snug Rider which is designed ONLY for Graco seats. 1 pound lighter than the snap n go, better parent friendly design as well.Please please take what I said seriously if you're a Graco infant seat owner... | 0negative

Good idea, bad quality
My wife an I were happy to find these for both safety and aesthetic reasons. We bought two and were so pleased with them we bought two more. But after about a month of using them, two of the four stopped working, so now there is just a bulky box hanging on the end of our blind cords, making them possibly more dangerous then when I started. I would not recommend this product for anyone. | 0negative

What a disapointment
I purchased this product after comparing it to the mobiles that project onto the wall. I was super excited to get it in the mail but after I put it together and purchased the batteries for this thing, it didn't work right. Only the leaves would move and they did that very poorly. The lights and sound didn't work at all. Also, this mobile is RIDICULOUSLY LOW. Once your baby can reach up, that things is coming down!! What a piece of crap. I'm just sending it back for a refund because I don't have the time to wait and mess with the replacement mobile that Amazon will send.Word of advice. Don't buy this mobile, just keep looking! | 0negative

I really wanted to like this
I loved the idea of the long range and that the child and parent unit could be used with batteries. Unfortunately, I also had the loud beeping in the middle of the night. I made sure that both units were on the same channel and it happened a second time. I returned it today and I am very disappointed about it. | 0negative

This is bad for your neck
I tried adjusting it many times and followed the directions but there is no way to take the pressure off the neck. My baby is big at 20+ pounds and this thing was torture. The neck strap has a pad on it but once it twists (which it does frequently and quickly)you have bare strap cutting into your neck. It feels like your blood supply is being cut off. Please dont buy this product unless you have a lot of percocets on hand. | 0negative

Tough bag!
I bought two of these bags and have used them a lot. They hold up really well and have a ton of space. Our kids have the Britax Marathon carseats, and even after getting those in, we still have plenty of room to pack more things in these bags. Since the airlines allow carseats to be checked for free regardless of weight, we pack things in with them so that the bags we are paying for aren't so heavy. They have definitely served their purpose, and I will buy the same ones when they wear out! | 1positive
|
Cute, but that's all...
This bag is really cute but it's way too small for all the things I need to lug around for baby. It's okay for quick trips places but not for a long outing. The two pockets on the inside of the bag are too small to really be useful for anything and it's just hard to keep things organized in this bag. I'm searching for something else. | 0negative

great!
Bought this a year and a half ago when my son was born. It's been a great little rocking chair! By far my favorite thing about it is that the handles are padded. When I used to nurse and now when I give my son bottles he'll lay his head on the soft padding of the arm instead of me having to support all his weight, I didn't have that with my first son and have greatly appreciated it this time around. I love the pockets on the side and it has stayed in excellent condition, doesn't look worn even after using it every day for a year and a half. When I first got it I was a little disappointed because it was lower than I would have hoped but I've gotten used to that. It has stayed very clean, and when there has been spills it cleaned up well. It's a great buy if you don't have $400 to fork out on your dream rocking chair. :) | 1positive

My Nephew and Niece Use Nothing Else
When a couple has a baby, it opens up a whole new range of possibilities and choices, the vast majority of them on uncharted territory. When it comes to feeding the little guy and a bottle is needed, my niece had gas trouble with the original nipple for the bottle. But since she got these, the baby is less gaseous, happier, and that means his parents sleep a little better at night. This now is her preferred brand, thanks to the Vine program. | 1positive

The Alpha Omega is TERRIBLE!! Do NOT buy this!
The Alpha Omega is quite possibly the worst product my wife and I have purchased for our baby, now 10 months old. The only thing worst than an overly complex (horribly complex) and crappy product is two of them...and we made exactly that mistake. My wife purchased one for her car and one for my car.The two primary reasons that product absolutely is the worst product we have purchased for our daughter are as follows:1) It is EXTREMELY to set up...this is a huge failing in the engineering and design. It is easy to make a difficult and cumbersome product; it is challenging to create a well designed and easy / intuitive product. It is VERY clear to me that the engineers that designed this monstrosity have never actually had to use it for their own families.2) You simply cannot remove the cover---in less than 1 hour. | 0negative

Tiny Love, Big Value
So far, this is the one thing I feel has been vital for baby entertainment and education. The day it came I saw how useful it was! I love to play with my daughter in it. (The elephant is my favorite toy because it retracts, but my daughter actually likes the giraffe best.)Pros:*EASY* to set up and easy to put away. It has little snap buttons and snapping or unsnapping them is the only effort you have to put into it.ColorfulInteractive toysSoft crossbars and paddingCool mirrorPotential to add more toys laterCons:Music is boring and repetitive - but that may actually be a good thing to a babyThe card that supports the lights is a little stiff and I wonder if hitting it the wrong way may actually hurtI love this gym. I have recently bought a Baby Einstein gym as a backup gym for the grandparent's house and it is inferior in many ways to this one. | 1positive

no sleeves=cold arms
We keep our house pretty cold at night in the winter, and I always worry that my son's arms will get cold. I found Carter's sleeping bag outfits with long sleeves to be much more useful. They are the same basic ideas as the Halo, but they have long sleeves and the zipper zips up instead of down. I use the Halo with terry or fleece pajamas and/or with a long-sleeved bodysuit, but then my son's trunk tends to get too warm, aggravating a rash on his chest and belly. Now that he sleeps on his tummy much of the time (once they start turning over there's nothing we can do about it!), the rash is a real problem. | 0negative

Very Useful and Cute
We've used this since we brought our twins home. We wish it were a little taller because it isn't the most comfortable height (and I'm only 5' 2") for a changing table and it is a little wobbly, but it works well enough. We don't usually use the bassinet because we use it for twins, but I guess that works okay. We use it like a second crib downstairs and this is what we've taken on overnight visits when we've traveled. Each time has been easy for us to take it down and put it back together. (Our 12 year old son does it for us half of the time.) Out of our twins, both enjoy the bear mobile that comes with the Brentwood set. Because our son in particular is absolutely mesmerized by it, we wish it lasted longer than just a couple of minutes from winding up. (On the plus side, no electronic parts make it still usable in the case of an EMP attack--irrelevant, but see other reviews.) I think the mat is safe and cleans up easily. Overall, we really appreciate having this Pack N Play and we love that it matches our stroller and car seats. | 1positive

Wonderful product!
This is a wonderful product! The shipping was fast, I ordered it about 2 weeks before my c-section and it came within a week. It was very easy to put together and I can't live without it! It is so convenient to use and even when I was sore after the procedure I was able to use it without pain due to the location of the bassinet. I have seen this product in stores for twice the price on amazon and this is a great buy no matter the price but it's wonderful to be able to get for the price here!! | 1positive

I ordered this tray for my 10-month-old baby. When I received it, it REAKED of feces right out of the package. I suppose the filling is rotten. Evidently, I'm returning it. Exceedingly gross! | 0negative

Cup Holder
Great product. I like it because you can easily detach the cup holder if your not using it. | 1positive

Choking Hazard!
I bought this for my four month old. I spent alot of time comparing before purchasing it. I made a mistake! It was cute and seemed to be great, but within the first few minutes my son pulled the bird off. I snaped it back on. The next time he pulled it off,the white ring attached to the back of the bird came off and he put it in his mouth and started chocking! Even with bird broke off of it he enjoys it, however my concern is for the next child that chokes! Would NOT recommend this product. | 0negative

Well Made and Easy to Use Travel System!
My husband and I registered for this travel system after trying out many other travel systems at Babies R' Us, including Peg Perego and Graco. So far we are very happy with our decision.The car seat base is very easy to install (we used the keyfit option) and the car seat latches easily and securely in place. The stroller folds very easily and, while it is not the lightest out there, is very maneuverable and sturdy.We also like the neutral colors - not too "babyish" or trendy and suitable for a boy or girl. | 1positive

great gates
Hate wasting time reviewing products, but know that I always base my purchases on them - so - these gates were nice quality - fit perfectly where I needed them -easy to install and keep my granddaughter safely away from the stairs. I especially like that the gate opens from either side - we usually remove it totally when she is not here, which is another thing that I like! Only thing that I would note is that the plastic protector on the top was sharp around the edges - you simply have to file down the sharp edges! All in all - nice gates. | 1positive

Does Not Work
We received this as a gift. I'm sorry my friend wasted their money. I have tried listening for something other than my own heartbeat, stomach growling and noises in the house since I was in my first trimester. I now have 4 weeks to go and have yet to hear anything related to the baby. Do not waste your money buying this product for yourself or anyone else. I think the nurse at my doctor's office summed it up best...it has no way to transfer sound. Think about it. They use gel on your belly and have direct contact with the listening device in the doctor's office. This item has a funnel with a sponge on the end. It's just not designed to transfer sound effectively. Spend your money elsewhere! | 0negative

pretty bad
I didn't have any problems assembling it, but I do have three main complaints:1) Either the music piece or the spinning piece makes a horrible grinding noise pretty much constantly which I think leads to:2) Sometimes, fully wound, it just stops, perhaps because of the friction produced from point one. But a lot of times, hours later, it starts up again. My twins can sleep through anything, but man, talk about spooky, music boxes just starting up in the middle of the night. I know, I watch too many horror movies.3) The way the part that spins connects to the spinning mechanism, it's possible (and actually pretty likely) that the spinning hook will get a few rotations around before the plush part catches up, which makes the plush part jolt into action and spin a few times really fast.My kids don't have any issue with it, but for the amount of money I paid, I expected something with a bit more quality. | 0negative

Works as advertized, but is this really a good idea?
Of course children should be protected from dirt and grime, but this is just overprotection. My daughter has, despite a watchful eye, managed to lick shopping cart handles, put lint in her mouth, eat leaves and various other things. None of these incidents have caused any ill effects. She is rarely sick and I think that is partly because she HAS been exposed to bacteria.The current trend in overprotection from germs and antibacterial soap mania can ultimately be harmful to children. Some exposure to germs is a good thing, as it builds up their immune systems. Antibacterial soaps simply encourage the bacteria to mutate into resistant strains, and then what will we do?Let the kids become dirty now and then. It's part of being kids. Exploring the world and getting [...]all over yourself is part of a child's development process. Just make sure their hands are washed before meals and clean them up every so often.Or are you telling you never came home with scuffed knees, bruises and covered in mud when you were a kid? Remember how much fun that was? | 0negative

Disappointing
The animals are cute. Assembly is (for the most part, see below) easy, and it attaches well to our crib.The music is loud and the quality is AWFUL. I suspect it might induce nightmares rather than an actual desire to sleep. I don't expect that we'll use it. Ever. Which is too bad, because it means that we'll have to turn the mobile by hand since the two features do not operate independently. However, as another reviewer noted, one of the animals/palm tree arms is too big to fit past the arm assembly as it turns in any case.The pieces all clipped together easily except for the music box; the hook on the arm attachment has insufficient space to allow the music box portion to slide on. We'll need a zip tie or an s-hook to complete assembly.I feel as though this product did not actually go through a thorough QA process - they missed the part where they tried all of the pieces together. | 0negative

A really good monitor to have!
My husband and I had our first child last April, and received this monitor as a gift from a family member. We love it! I can hear just about everything he does.I can hear him breathing it's that good.The only thing that I found was after a few months the night light that is part of the main monitoring system went out and I am not sure how to replace it or if it even can be replaced. I guess I will need to call the maufacturer and see. Other than that it continues to work GREAT!! Very handy and portable if needed to be taken elsewhere. | 1positive

not so dry....
Diaper didn't last through the night. My 2 year old woke up multiple times needing to be changed (totally unusual for him). The gel beads inside the diaper became really cold when wet and the diper completely ripped open, allowing the wet, cold gel beads to spill all over the place. I'm going back to my normal pampers and just getting the next size up--hopefully that works. | 0negative

PITA!!!
So, I started my infant on these around 9 months old. They work great if your child doesn't understand that they need to tip the cup up to drink from it. (My son is now almost 12 months and still isn't great at this) So I thought, perfect, he can drink from any angle. Well, I only use these with water because he is constantly flicking the straw which holds a small amount of liquid in the top (it doesn't flow back down the valve). So after having formula flying everywhere...the stroller, car, kitchen wall, my face, etc... I got fed up with it. He only gets water because it won't cause a stain when he plays with the straw or sets it down too hard. Any other type of liquid, and he gets a normal sippie cup and we are working on teaching him to tip it up so he doesn't just suck air. Not sure I would have tried these had I researched them before buying a few at the local store. | 0negative

Works for BOB Revolution stroller!
I just bought this Bundle me (Soho) at a local retailer and we love it! We have a 2010 BOB Revolution stroller (brown/blue) and it fits fine. The Soho color also looks good with the colors on the BOB. I found it easier to stand behind the stroller and follow the directions for installation on both the flap on the stroller and the directions that came with the Bundle me. It took me 5 minutes to figure it out and complete installation. Now I don't have to bring a blanket for baby when we are out and about. I think this will work great for our NJ winters. If you live in an even colder climate I would probably go with the warmer Bundle me products, like the Arctic or the one with the fur inside. I love this product and would highly recommend it. | 1positive

Taggies are great!
My son loves his taggies!! After buying his first taggie blanket and seeing how much he loved it, I went out and bought as many taggie toys as I could find. My son loves to fall asleep with his blankie in his hands as his little fingers play with the ribbons. It's too cute! This blaknet is nice and soft and the colors are nice and bright. | 1positive

My Favorite Carrier
I own aBABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original - City Black, anErgo Baby Sport Baby Carrier(withERGO Baby Carrier Infant Insert - Camel), and aHotslings Everyday Collection Baby Carrier Tokyo size 3, and the Mobywrap is by far my favorite baby carrier. It is the only carrier I own comfortable enough to be practical. (If you're wondering: the Ergo is my second choice, worn without the infant insert, but the bjorn and hotsling don't work for me at all.)Biggest Pro:Comfort. It feels a bit like being pregnant again and carrying my baby as a part of myself rather than carrying a heavy load cantilevered off of me. It is truly comfortable to wear my baby (now ~14 lbs) in this carrier.Biggest Con:It's really, really not easy or obvious to put on when you first do it. If you get a moby wrap (and I highly recommend it), find a friend who has one to show you what to do with it. Better yet, find a baby-carrier group in your area and go to their meetings to get help with it. Once you learn how to do it, it's not that hard, but at first it can be really confusing and not something you want to tackle when desperate with a crying newborn. If you can't find anyone to help, search youtube for instructional videos. Not as good as having a friend to show you, but better than trying to follow written instructions.Unfortunately, my baby doesn't love the mobywrap. She doesn't love any carrier. She prefers the stroller. However, when she does want to be carried, the moby frees up my arms for cooking or cleaning, and takes the strain off of my back so that I can walk where I need to go. Some babies just love to be carried, and if yours is one, then I highly recommend a wrap like this one. It will make you freer and more comfortable than you were before.I've never tried to nurse in my moby. They say you can, but I'm skeptical. It looks tough and inconvenient and I'm awkward and clumsy at breastfeeding as it is. I just stick to it as a way to make dinner when my daughter wants to be cuddled. | 1positive

Great product, great customer service
I bought this gate to keep my 14 month old daughter in or out of the kitchen, depending on the circumstances. I was a little worried that the pressure mounts would mar the walls, but they don't. The mounts screw to apply lateral pressure to the wall. The wall contacts never turn or move as the pressure builds.The gate is well-designed. My daughter has enjoyed closing the door and then shaking the gate. She's basically been all over this thing and hasn't injured herself yet. There are virtually no places for little feet to get any purchase to climb, and the locking mechanism makes it nearly impossible for little fingers to get caught and injured. It's simple to open for adults, and little ones just don't have the weight to step down on the unlocking mechanism.We had a shipping snafu as well and some of the pressure mounts didn't arrive. I contacted First Years' customer service and explained the problem and they shipped another pressure mount at no charge. I'm a happy customer. | 1positive

disappointing
I thought this product would be helpful for sleeping, since it was recommended from a friend. However it doesn't work for me. I took it out of the box and it was just in a plastic bag. After trying it for 5 minutes I decided that I didn't like it and tried to return it. The company would only issue store credit because I "opened" it. What a rip off. | 0negative

The PITS!
I registered for one of these and got it as a shower gift. While it provides a place to place soiled pampers, it doesn't do much more. Changing the bags can be quite an event. Furthermore, and most importantly, IT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT CONTAIN ODOR!! No amount of bleach will take the odor away, and I cleaned it every week. My daughter's bedroom consistently wreaked, especially on warmer days. It is just awful. I had to leave it on the porch and take the pampers out as I changed her...what's the point in having it? I am going to try the Diaper Champ and hope I have better luck with it. | 0negative

2 month son loves baths now
We started off with a plastic tub for our son until he was about 1 month and a half old. This tub fit in the kitchen sink, had a foam base and was angled like a car seat. He cried about 80% of the times we gave him a bath.A friend recommended this inflatable tub, so we bought it and he absolutely loves it. He's completely relaxed from the time he gets into the water, and usually for a while even after he gets out.We fill the tub half full, so we have to be careful and support his head while his body floats, but it's pretty easy because he's so relaxed. One hand supports his head and neck while the other hand washes him. It's actually easier to wash his back this way since we don't have to flip him around, like we did with the previous tub.Some people might prefer the tubs that fit in the kitchen sink, since you can wash the baby while standing and don't have to squat.But for us, a calm and relaxed baby versus a crying and thrashing baby made all the difference in the world. | 1positive

I love medela bottles
I love medela bottles, I love that they are BPA free. I love this product, I like the way it looks, the only thing I HATE are the bottle nipples. They look horrible and my two month old daughter does not like them at all. I went online and got other medela nipples, those she likes. | 1positive

WHAT A NICE ITEM TO HAVE
THIS WORKS GREAT ON SHOPPING CARTS. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THE SEAT COVER IS IT IS HARD TO PUT ON WHEN YOU ARE HOLDING YOUR CHILD WITH ONE HAND AND TRYING TO GET THE COVER ON WITH THE OTHER. | 1positive

The minute I put them on, my 10month old pulled them off
The product had good intentions however, my daughter was quickly able to pull them off then became a choking hazard when she could get 1/2 of it in her mouth. A better choice for corners is the bumper. The bumper isn't as pleasing to the eye, but definately not a choking hazard. | 0negative

Sit n Stroll makes travel easy
I definitely found the Sit N Stroll to be a great travel system. The wheels slide in and out easily for stroller to car seat changes and my daughter was able to stay buckled in and asleep during the transition from taxi to airport. The only thing I don't love is that the seat can't be attached to your car more permanently as we plan to use it as our second car seat. To secure the seat into the car lap belt (or using the included latch strap) my daughter has to be in it and the 5 point restraint secured and then the lap belt/latch strap go over her chest. It would be nice if it could attach a differnt way if you are using it more often. | 1positive

Are you kidding me?
Once again Amazon has disappointed me with their suppliers. These tubes arrived in seperate envelopes, the envelopes looked like they were taken out of the trash and taped together. When I opened the envelopes the tubes were shoved in and kinked. The one tube was dirty like it had been used. What gives? I am not putting these tubes anywhere near my childs food source. UGH!!! | 0negative

Great no more diaper odor!!!

Would not recommend...Frequent Leaks!
I purchased Pampers Baby Dry size 4 thinking it was a good price for the Brand Name. However, only a couple hours after placing the diaper on my baby, it began to leak through the front panel. The diaper was hardly full, but my baby's clothes were damp. These diapers definitely don't make it through the night either. All the diapers in this box have been this way. Maybe my Pampers box was a just a lemon. Good luck. | 0negative

Beautiful Gate
Almost every time guests visit, they compliment our two gates. The color and style matches our light oak staircase perfectly. It came exactly as pictured. It's true that it would have been nice if some of the hardware that came with the gate were of higher quality, but we were able to install it as is without much trouble. We've had it for 10 months now and haven't had any problems. Now that we have another baby on the way, we won't be taking them down any time soon. | 1positive

Didn't use or need! Save your money!
My husband insisted on registering for this - so we did. We rec'd as a gift and truthfully, I took it out of the box, washed it in Dreft so that it would be ready to use when I brought my son home from the hospital. My doc said not to use it and so I didn't - ever... However, I have also been blessed with a very healthy baby that hasn't had a cold to date - he is 7 1/2 months old now and too old to use it since he has been rolling over now for 2 months. I say... Save your money and get something you can use! | 0negative

frustrated
This mobile is the perfect finishing touch to the blue jean teddybear collection. The only problem is it wasn't big enough to fit the slats on the baby crib, and this is a new crib. I think they should make all of them universal to fit all cribs. If it wasn't for that I would of given it 5 stars. | 0negative

Great price on Pampers
Delivery of the diapers was sooner than stated on billing form. The price is also great-cheaper then anywhere else that I checked. I like the fact that there is no shipping charge because of the "free shipping over $25." Thanks Amazon, I'll be ordering diapers again. | 1positive

Ointment
This stuff is advertised and sold as a diaper rash ointment for babies. I have found that it is also great for use on almost any kind of minor skin irritations in adults, as well! The only drawback for some people would be the scent, not unpleasant but kind of odd. The relief and healing you get IS worth the odor. | 1positive

Great swing.... until it stopped working forever....
A friend gave me this swing, and it worked fine until today. The swing just stopped swinging. Everything else works fine, and I've recharged the batteries completely, so I know it's not that. The mobile still spins, and all the music still plays perfectly, it just doesn't swing.... I even opened it up to see if something was loose, but after doing some research online I've noticed people are buying replacement parts for $53, which isn't worth it for me to fix... I'm guessing this swing worked for about 6 months total, so if you're planning on using it for multiple children, or buying used, don't waste your time with this one!! | 0negative

No Rubber ducky...!!
I bought this two years ago at BabysRus, and there were two rubber ducks in the package. I purchased this for my friend's baby shower couple weeks ago and there were no rubber ducks in there anymore. It still shows that comes with rubber ducky on the description. I am very disappointed as I was expecting this rubber ducks the most.Please fix the product description... | 0negative
