Editorial Review

Tucker the turtle is made from soft lime green and lavendervelour with brightly colored, boldly patterned trims. Each foot rattlesor crinkles when touched. Tucker's shell features bright geometricshapes and his underbelly is an unbreakable mirror perfect forself-discovery. Two plastic rings and a triangular plastic link are attachedto his looped tail. His smiling face squeaks when pressed firmly andcan even be tucked inside his shell with a grownup's help, though thisturtle has no reason to hide his head. --Tami Horiuchi ... Read more

Interesting to Infants
We got this at a baby shower and it was a hit with the hostess's 2 month old.He stared and was so intrigued.
Now, my daughter loves looking in the mirror and 'talking' to herself and to the brightly colored turtle.
The different colors, sounds and textures have kept her interested.
It is easy to attach to the stroller or carrier. (Just not on the carrier's handle since it is big enough to whack her in the face.)
This is a practical toy that I will give out as gifts to friends expecting!

Excellent First Toy For Baby
A friend gave this to my daughter when she was 3 mos old.At that point, she had just discovered herself in the mirror, so the underside of this turtle (which is a mirror) was great for her to stare at herself.We hung it from the side of her bassinet.Now, at 5 mos old, she doesn't go anywhere without this turtle!She chews on it - it's great for teething - and she loves grabbing the feet, which make crackling noises.This is by far her favorite toy! I have given it to several friends for shower gifts.

"Penny Turtle" good for infants
Our toddler, almost two, has completely lost interest in her turtle. She received it at 6 months from her aunt Penny, hence we always called it the Penny Turtle. Our daughter never was able to push the legs or head in, although she would watch me do it for her. When pushed in, it was also compact enough to fit in the bag, and the rings made it handy to attach to strollers. But it only caught her attention for a little less than a year. She prefers furry animals and rag dolls now. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This saucer is the ultimate stationary exercise and entertainmentcenter. From 4 months onwards, babies can safely swivel, bounce, rock, andplay to their hearts' delight while stimulating their developing senses andconditioning leg muscles in preparation for standing and walking. This deluxesaucer comes equipped with 10 brightly colored activities that adapt verywell to baby's developing skills. Six interactive toys, a water-filledteether, four musical toys, and two soft plush friends entertain and amuse.Babies will delight in playing with unbreakable mirrors, chewing on a brightsunflower teether, spinning a rattle filled with colorful beads, listening tomusic, or just jumping and swiveling around in the machine-washable, paddedseat. Easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, the UltraSaucer adjusts to threeheight positions and assembles in a snap. Although it's rather pricey andcumbersome to store (24 by 15 inches at its tallest position, excludingtoys), this center is well worth every penny--if only for the freedom to takea shower it provides a busy mom or dad! --Deb Oroszlan ...

Absolutely Fantastic!
We bought this for our now 3 year old son for his first Christmas.He loved it!We've since passed it on to our friends for their baby.This is a great way to keep baby busy while you get ready in the morning.This combined with the Baby Einstein videos gave me the freedom to get dressed in the morning or mop the floor or anything else you can't do while holding a baby.

A Mommy (and baby) must-have!!
Our daughter LOVED this toy!!!She would sit, play, bounce, and enjoy it for hours.And I was able to take a shower (and do other things, too) without one of us bursting into tears in frustration!Though pricey, it is worth the money.Granted, there may be a few children out there who would not enjoy it, but they are probably few and far between.This toy does take up some space, but it's not that bad.A hint: though much more expensive, if space is at a premium, there is a similar toy available that folds down (can't remember if it's Graco or Evenflo--check it out).Another hint: you might also try hunting for these at garage sales and second-hand stores (like Kid-to-Kid).It will cut down on the cost, and they're usually in pretty good condition.I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this toy!!!

Great for baby, great for parents!
Whoever came up with this one deserves a medal. At 6 months, our son loves playing in it and stays entertained. He's really taken to grabbing and playing with all the attachments and I would even go so far as to say it's helping him develop strong hand-eye coordination.Best of all, baby stays occupied while we cook dinner or do anything that requires putting him down for a few minutes.Defintely the best baby accessory we acquired! ...

Editorial Review

Although full-size bathtubs may be just the right size for Momand Dad, your baby will need a smaller tub to bathe in during the firstfew months of life. This sturdy EuroBath fits the bill quite nicely,and can be used for babies and young children ranging from a few weeksto up to 2 years of age, depending on your child's size. The EuroBathis large for a baby bath, measuring approximately 9 inches deep in themiddle, just under 3 feet from end to end, and approximately 21 incheswide. A raised section in the middle is designed to cradle infants andsmaller babies comfortably, with ample space around it for splashingwater on baby as you bathe them. The EuroBath is surprisingly sturdy,while also being lightweight and very easy to clean. --ChrisBurns ... Read more

WONDERFUL TUB!!!
We searched everywhere for a safe tub once our son outgrew his infant tub (at 3 mos). This tub is FANTASTIC, he fit right in the little landscaped grooves and was very secure. He is 13 mos old now and still sits inside the grooved part of the tub. He is so secure in there that both of my hands are free to wash his hair, splash and play with him. This is a fabulous product,
and although it is a bit large, I can't recommend it highly enough!!!

This tub is too big!
We registered for this site unseen based on the reviews.It greeted us on the porch of our house when we arrived home with the baby.At first, I thought a refridgerator had been delivered!(Okay...slight exaggeration.)But it was HUGE.

(...)

big...but that's a good thing!
We at first used a baby tub with a sling that someone loaned us, and that worked well for the first few weeks but my son quickly outgrew it. Luckily I had registered and received this tub at my shower. At first we were turned off by its large size in our small apartment, but have loved it since putting our son in it the first time. He reclines back at a perfect angle and is quite comfortable. The molding keeps him from wiggling around and allows for us to have both hands free to bathe him. Now that he sits up, he absolutely loves to play in the water and this tub is big enough to accomodate a few bath toys too. The molding also helps keep him balanced while sitting up. Overall a very good design.

We just keep the tub in the bathtub/shower while not in use, and move it when we use the shower. It is worth the slight inconvenience.

Editorial Review

In this corner... it's the Diaper Champ. Standing a bit tallerthan the competition, this wondrous contraption actually uses regulargarbage bags, making it super economical (no refills, hooray!). It alsoholds a few more diapers than other pails we've tried. To use it,simply drop a diaper in and flip the handle. To empty it, just unlockit and remove the bag. But the true test of a diaper pail is its smellcontrol, right? Overall, most moms thought that the Champ deserved itstitle, and only a few detected an occasional escaped odor or two. Itis a bit difficult to open (hint: take it slow), but for thoseof you with a curious and experimental toddler in your house, this maybe okay. --Melissa Wilson ... Read more

i absolutely love it!
you couldn't ask for a better diaper pail. one reason is, that you don't have to use certain bags inside the pail...can use a plain trash bag and second is that once you turn the handle over, you don't smell the dirty diapers. great product!

A great alternative
No one can deny that the Diaper Genie is the best at keeping odor out of the nursery.Wrapping each diaper induvidually in plastic to contain the smell is a brilliant idea.The downside is that the refills are costly. It always just seemed like such a waste of money to me.Lets face it, diapers are really, really expensive.It seems outrageous to have to pay even more to throw them away.

I definitely prefer the Diaper Champ.For the first few months, I just tossed the dirty diapers in.Now that my daughter is on solid foods, it's true that her diapers are stinkier.Well, I just keep my leftover grocery bags in the changing table drawer and bag the diapers before tossing them in.It's the same concept as the Diaper Genie, only get this, it's FREE.And in my experience, it works just as well.

It's also easier to empty this way. I always hated emptying the Genie.You have to pull out a mile of dirty diapers, or as I called it "the poo sausage."With the Champ, you just lift the garbage bag out and take it outside.

Don't be a sucker and pay tons of extra money just to throw away your already expensive diapers.I love my Diaper Champ!

GREAT PRODUCT
We didn't want to spend a fortune on a diaper pail and refills, so we opted for the Diaper Champ. We absolutely love it. We have used it for three months now and have had no problems with smells of any kind. Best of all, you can use any kind of bag, including reused plastic grocery bags! ... Read more
