Choking Hazard
My daughter LOVES the Whoozit!She has the female version (pink body instead of blue).This toy has a red heart that makes the "crinkling" noise when you play with it.Because it is red and makes the noise it is my daughter's favorite part of the toy.Since she's teething, she loves to put it into her mouth and chew on it.Unfortunately, she was chewing on it one day in the grocery store when the red heart got lodged in her throat.She was not breathing at all.Luckily, I was right in front of her, noticed it, and immediately pulled out the toy.I just can't help but wonder what might have happened if I had not been standing right there with her when it happened.I've told several of my friends about this and they told me of similar stories they have heard from other people.From now on, I tuck the red heart into the inside of the toy (between the two body sections) so my daughter can't get to it.All the kids who I've seen playing with it seem to love the Whoozit, but the one crinkle piece is a choking hazard.

Great toy!!!!!!
True that this is a weird and maybe ugly toy, but my baby loves it!! She's 7 weeks old and I hang it from her swing and she loves staring at it. She just looks at it and smiles. I like this one for the moment because it's small and light enough to dangle from the bar on her swing. Other toys are bigger and heavier and for some reason she loses interest in them quickly. I recommend this toy for all babies!!!

Best Toy Ever
I bought this for my daughter when she was approx. 1 month (now 5 months old). Out of all the toys she has this one is her favorite. It's the weirdest looking thing, but she is so intrigued by "Senor Whoozit" (that's it's name).

I highly recommend this and other Whoozits. ... Read more

Simply put the Move ‘n Groove Dance Mat on the floor and let your child dance the day away. The keyboard makes six different notes, the instrument icons play various tunes, and when the picture of Barney is stepped on, he will issue instructions to step on the blue footprint, step on the red footprint, etc., and even congratulate the child when she steps on the correct spot. The furry, inflatable Barney figure spins around when music plays, an effect that would be better if he didn't tilt weirdly to one side. Nonetheless, Barney is still a nice bonus with this mat since, being removable, he is a fun toy in his own right. True, the combinations of things you can do may be limited, but the physical and interactive qualities of this toy are a big plus. --David Stoesz ... Read more

TRICIA LYNNE MAY
I LOVE BARNEY HE IS THE BEST EVER AND MAKES MY DAY EVERYDAY INCLUDING SUNDAY GUYS SERIOUSLY INCLUDING SUNDAY!

How to stabilize barney....
ok - if you've made the mistake of adding this to your toy collection you can try stabilizing Barney by sliding a pair of chopsticks down the right side of his right leg (but not all the way down - just under his arm to about ankle length)and a little baby spoon (or something that size that won't puncture the inflatable plastic) down the inside of his right leg. You still have to keep him inflated to the max and he still tilts to one side slightly. We will see how long the interest level lasts with our one year old and our 3 year old and then we will toss it!
One other piece of advice - just accept the fact that there is nothing that "teaches" dancing here - there is no instructional foot stepping directions from Barney. He just asks to find things on the mat - not to any song or rythym or any pattern at all. So, this could have some "fun" value if your child loves jumping around on the mat with Barney to all the music and sounds the mat makes when danced on.

Fun for a range of ages!
I have 4 kids from 1 to 6 and they all loved this toy!We haven't had any problems with it falling over.The only problem I have noticed is that it seems to go through batteries if you don't turn it off when not is use.I think this is a great item especially for the price! ... Read more

If you're 3 years old, and your main mission in life is toarrest all the Bad Guys, it's a shame not to have the transportation tocatch up with them. The Tikes Patrol Police Car is the cruiser youneed. Powered by your own two feet sticking through the floor, it's aserious blue machine with blue-and-red fake lights on the 36-inch-highwhite roof. Thirty-two inches long by 17 inches wide, it has one doorthat opens, a squeaky horn on the steering wheel, and a handheld radiounit with sound effects (requires two AA batteries, not included). Thetoy holds a maximum weight of 50 pounds. The car is all plastic, exceptfor wheel struts and screws. Adult assembly is required. --RichardFarr ... Read more

one of the favorite toys in the house
I bought this for my oldest son 2 years ago, just before he turned 2, and it has always been a hit with all the kids who come to our house.At first, my son mostly liked to sit in it in the house, not getting how to push himself around.when we put it outside during a playdate with his friends, they all took turns sitting inside, while someone else pushed from behind.To this day, whether at playdates, birthday parties, or just daily play time on the patio, my boys (now 3.5 and 1) both love this car.Definitely a worthwhile purchase.In fact, we have considered getting a second (maybe a regular car or the firetruck) since this one is such a hit during play time with more than one child.Also very durable -- it's been an indoor toy, an outdoor toy, and has made it through lots of long walks (albeit slow walks, as the little guy does his shimmy-shimmy, Fred Flintstone pedaling!).A good purchase, used daily!

Great Car, awful assembly
My son recieved this for his 2 year birthday. He absolutely loves it. The car is great. So far no problems, everything seems secure and of good quality. The siren is a nice touch, and it's not to loud or abnoxious, although the lights on top don't turn on (the picture on the website is deceiving). The horn works good and there's a "trunk" in back for him to put stuff in.

But there's always a catch! Assembly was a nightmare. While putting this together, I discovered that the hole where the gas tank snaps on had a piece of plastic missing around the edge (it was cracked). So I had to return it and get a new one. That was a total pain and the people at Toys R Us actually gave me a hard time when i wanted to exchange it for another one that wasn't defective (what???!!!) Aside from that, the actual assembly process went very slow. Not a fun thing to do. Some of the parts were really difficult to screw together and putting the wheels on was the worst. But it's still a really cute and fun toy, so just be prepared to be there awhile putting it together. I think it took me an hour!

PROBLEM PUTTING TOGETHER
Great toy, cute concept. My two year old loves it! However, maybe It was just me, but I felt misled by the lights on top. They have reflectors in them. Not lights. And the speaker...doesn't do anything but play a siren. It was VERY difficult to put together because not all the holes that were supposed to be there for assembly were. My husband created them with his own tools rather than return such a big item that we were half way through putting together ... Read more

Great Toy
Baby Jordan got this tow for christmas when he was just two months old, now it is his favourite.He can sleep with it and he now knows how to make it play.

Love the caterpillar!!!
My son has been watching the Baby Einstein DVDs since he was 7 weeks old.He absolutely goes crazy when the caterpillar appears on screen..he laughs and kickcs like crazy in his swing.The caterpillar toy is great for reinforcing things he's learning about.He just loves it!Plus, between the DVDs and the toy it gives me a little time to straighten up=)

Confusion
I bought this toy for my 4month old.I thought that it would be a great toy for him to learn shapes, colors, and animals.The only problem is that the purple section of the caterpillar says that the color is orange.This will definetly confuse my little one when he is able to learn things.Please don't buy this item.Only buy it if you want a confused child in life. ...

We love Lotty
Lotty was a gift from Santa to our 3 month old baby girl.She loves her.The antennae are absolutely mesmerizing.If we can't find a toy to make her smile then Lotty always does the trick.She is almost 5 months old and is still her favorite.One of the best toys we have received.

Lil LOVES Lotty!
Santa brought our (then) 5 month old Lotty for Christmas. She absolutely LOVES Lotty! The antennae must be magical because that's the first thing she reached for and of course put in her mouth. Even when she's fussy, you can put Lotty on her tummy and give her kisses and she smiles and grabs the antennae and starts to play. She also likes to look at herself in the mirror on Lotty's tummy. I would definitely recommend Lotty to anyone looking for a lovable and entertaining toy.

Can't leave the house without Lotty!!
My five month old daughter loves Lotty!! We lay Lotty on my daughters tummy and she can sit and play for a long period of time. She loves to play with the antenna and put them in her mouth. The front leg plays "You are my Sunshine" and the other legs have rattles or squeakers in them. It is the cutest toy. I highly recommend it. ... Read more

A Toys "R" Us exclusive, this jumbo-sized Darny makes a soft, sweet companion for pet and plush lovers of any age. Big floppy ears, deep dark eyes, large paws, and a cute tail are all covered in the softest pink and beige fur imaginable. Darny's cuddle quotient goes up even higher, given that she is slightly understuffed for extra "squeezability" when humans need something to soft hug. This Darny is quite possibly the largest dog around. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This sturdy plastic car gives toddlers and young preschoolers the basic thrills of a real car, while parents can relax, knowing that this cherry-red sports car can go only as fast as their kids' little feet can carry them. Children sit on a bench-style driver's seat and poke their legs through to the ground. When they start walking, the car begins to scoot. The front wheels swirl like stroller wheels, making them especially responsive to the steering wheel. The front dash features a pretend key with a Little Tikes key chain and a horn button that beeps when pushed. A small storage bin in back can carry traveling gear or simply a stash of road snacks. Approximately 35 inches tall, 25 inches long, and 16 inches wide. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

I must have got a lemon...
I just went through all 129 reviews for this toy, and most of them were glowing.My son received this car for his 2nd b-day and absolutely loves it.The only frustrating thing is that the steering wheel keeps coming off!Believe me, it wasn't easy to figure out how to put it on in the first place!It comes off almost every time he plays with it, and when that happens we have to wait for daddy to come home and fix it, because mommy is clueless.Just thought you potential buyers should know.

Best Riding Toy Ever!!
My son love this foot powered ride on!He was quite disappointed as he slowly realized that it doesn't really fit him any more.He is now almost 6 and I would say if you have a tall child, or larger footed child then they will out grow it faster.My son started to feel cramped by late four yearsor early five years of age.His feet would get stuck coming out if he had shoes on, but bare foot worked great.Head was getting pretty close to roof as well.But then again he is in the 90% for height!!

This is an awesome toy, and is sturdy, fun, imaginative.You can't go wrong!

not a good first ride on.
My son recieved this as a Christmas gift.I really wanted to wait until his 2nd birthday, but a family member bought it without telling us. Anyways...
I was looking at the Little tike race car toys for a first ride on, not this.This car was difficult to put together.The instructions were horrible (no words all pictures).After a few hours dh and I got it together.My son loves it, he jumped in turned the wheel, but the car didn't move.He plays in the car everyday, but has no clue how to get it to move.He also holds the door while getting his foot in and the car toppled over twice (on level ground).I have to walk around and push it for him.He also slid out from under the car afew times.The more he tried to get up or me help him get up, the more the car would move over him. He does push it himself, but he would rather ride in it than push it. ... Read more

great gift
My daughter recieved this for her first Birthday.She loved it and still does.It's one of the few toys that will actually hold her interest for more than a few seconds.Its great!The best part of the whole toy is that she can actually push the lever herself.I've found that a lot of toys are too hard for her to push or pull or whatever.

Just like "the real grocerystore machine"
My kids always loved those machines at the grocerystore and love all the things that can come out of them, so we bought this for them while they play grocery store and for my younger ones to have fun with, (6 1/2 month old twin boys and 3 y.o twin b/g at the time)

You put about 4-6 peek-a-rounds in WIDE top so your little ones hands can easily fit without poseing a hazzard (hard candy, ring, teddy bear, and a lolly-pop come with them, some of them also make a little rattle when you shake them, and added bonus) and then push the blue lever to get one out, (randomly) and while they roll through the swirly slide in the clear dome shaped base (clear so you can see them go through) it plays a cute little song and some lights flash. If you dont want the music (its not too annoying but just if you dont want it) you can still play without batteries and the lever still makes them come out. It ends up at the base and you just put them in again. We have not had a huge problem with it falling over,all toys do, but I really wouldnt recomend this for pulling up.The yellow handle is one of my now 8 month old boys favorites because it makes one of those cranking noises, its not hollow, maybe they fixed it? But my 3 year olds LOVE guessing what will come out and seeing if their right! (surprize aspect like the "real gumball machine!). The little face on the top is also very cute. We all love it and its also great for pretend "grocery store" play! It teaches cause and effect and has a little imagination to it!
You can also buy more peek-a-rounds (or roll-a-rounds) which add more fun and also as backup incase you loose some!

Lots of fun
I got this for my seven-month old and he immediately loved it.It took him no time to learn how to press the blue handle down and get one of the peek-a-rounds gumballs to come out.The top only has room for four or five of the peek-a-rounds (it comes with four:teddy bear, candy, lollipop and ring), so I had to stand by and continuously put more on the top as he pressed the handle.Whenever the handle is pressed, the gumball machine plays a short tune.It also has a switch to turn the songs off or control the volume.There is a yellow turn handle at the front that makes a clicking noise when turned.My son really likes that too.One reviewer said this handle was hollow and dangerous.Mine is not hollow, so perhaps it was changed (for the better!).One thing I don't like about this toy is that it doesn't have a very solid base; my son easily, and frequently tips it over.That doesn't seem to detract from his fun though. ...

Fun, but kind of cheaply made
My boys are 3.5 years and 18 months. Theylove these puzzles and never get tired of them. My only complaint is that they are rather cheaply made. The paper peels up and I've had to glue it down on the actual puzzle board as well as the puzzle pieces themselves. Other than that, they take a lot of wear and tear and have held up OK so far.

Well made toy
I am impressed with the way these puzzles were made.I was looking for wooden puzzels and these have painted on pictures, not decals.I am not worried about my daughter ruining them.I am a little disappointed as others have said with certain aspects.I didn't read the reviews before I bought this one.I will be more careful next time. I just bought it for the good price.One puzzle does not have pegs.None of mine have the pictures under the pieces, only the words.My daughter doesn't mind as she can't read; however, I think that the pictures would better facilitate her learning and the pegs would make it easier to use.

Great Toy
I bought this toy for my 2 year old daughter and she just loved all four puzzles.These puzzles also served a valuable purpose in that my daughter thought she was playing, but she was actually learning the different animals, foods, transportations, and so forth.She has never got bored with these puzzles . . . and these were all she had!! ...

Excellent!
My daughter received this for her first birthday and LOVES it- she plays with it all day. She loves to take the Frogs out and carry them around, as well as dance to the songs the bus plays when the characters are in the bus (the song changes when you put a different character into the driver's seat). We are still discovering new things about this toy since we haven't had it for long. An excellent learning toy that is FUN and cute too! Read the description for all of the things this toy can do. Two thumbs up from this family! I am sure this toy will last for the recommended age 1-4 years, it will hold its entertainment and learning value. I look for toys that will be around for a long time instead of buying a toy that will be played with a few times or for a short while and then be outgrown or forgotten. This is definitely a winner.

Sensational!Initially, I thought this toy would be merely a great way for my son to learn the alphabet. I did not anticipate his phonic skills would progress as rapidly as they did. It has several options such as letter, letter sounds and words. As he plays with it, he repeats the word for each letter. It has also helped him identify letters rather than just singing them! In a short while, he has gone to saying the word before he pushes the letter and identifying letters out of sequence.Did I mention he is not yet even two years old!Fantastic buy!

Wonderful toy!!!!!
My daughter (7 months) absolutely loves this! Her favorite thing to do is take the frogs out and put them back in. I would definately recommend this to anyone! We love it! ... Read more

Anyone home? With the Magic Doorbell Playhouse, new friends canannounce their arrival by leaning on the electric doorbell. (Requiresthree AAA batteries, not included.) Once through the red half-door,they'll find a cozy play space that has all the comforts of home,including a kitchen corner with stove, microwave, and cordless phone.Forty-four inches high internally, the house has a pleasing blue "tile"roof and tan exterior walls that are half "masonry," half "board," aswell as a lot of nice touches, like a pointed blue lintel over thefront door. The all-plastic exterior measures 48 by 32 inches; adultassembly is required, but it snaps together quickly and easily.--Richard Farr ... Read more

Great House, too wide for doorways
We bought this house for our son when he was one year old, and at age 4 1/2 he his still using it-- even sharing with his little (1 year old) brother.Both boys love it as a hiding place when we play hide and seek, and they both use it for imaginative play on their own intiative.Of course they also love diving out through the side window . . . but we have been very pleased with this purchase.

One caveat: We initially installed the house in the kids' playroom (what most people call a living room) to keep it nicer for a while, and to set up a nice play area for rainy days.However we now have another item to put in that spot and want to move it outdoors, but it won't fit through our front door or sliding back doors-- the roof is just a shade too wide, and we've had difficulty reversing the screws to take the roof off.So indoors it still is.I'd say the width of the roof is the only design flaw; otherwise we are completely satisfied with the product.

Great Quality
I bought this for my Twin 2 year old girls this past summer, and set it up in thier bedroom. The house is great quality, like all little tikes, the pieces fit together nice an snug. A few screws here and there, and BAM a house in thier bedroom. The house is rather large, But my girls didn't play with it too long, but they are spoiled.It is large enuff that I can climb inside and then they wanna play. The door did get ripped off within the first hour of play, so i just left it off. Still a great toy, I am now thinking about adding a 8" padded board across the bottom of the now open door, and filling the house with plastic balls(like chucky-cheese).

Gets lots of use
I purchased this house for my in home day care. So we have lots of toddlers playing with it! They love it! The only complaint I have is that the door falls off easily if the child pushes it instead of pulls it. But the kids all fit in there and even bring chairs. Even the one year old loves it! He likes to play peek a boo with the shutters. Lots of fun and well worth the money. ... Read more

Great Buy
I bought this chair for my daughter when she was 14 mos, she loves it, it is perfectly designed for their bodies no matter if your toddler is on the larger size or not, the seat is very comfortable, and it has a cup holder, sometimes my daughter just uses it for that.The back of the chair folds down for storage, my daughter loves to fold it down and sit on it like a stool or use it as a step stool she is now two years old and climbs and steps all over it, so far it still looks brand new and we love it.

Nice Chair Indoors or Outdoors
Great little chair for your little one. Top folds down for easy store away and has a cup holder, something kids love! We use it outside in the summertime and inside when its colder out. Its a great chair to set up to watch tv also. Comfy for kids, built in cup holder, fun colors makes them happy.. and stores away when needed for us.

too much like a potty
I bought this chair because I felt it would be a safe bet - our previous outdoor child's chair tipped over too easy. This one has a wide base and so is not easily tipped. However, one thing I didn't plan on - the yellow back folds down. Like the lid of a potty. My 20 month old son thinks he has to put the lid down! I just hope he doesn't think it is an outdoor potty seat! HA!Unfortunately, he put the seat back down and THEN sat on it - and promptly flipped over backward. Sigh. ... Read more

Just got them
We just purchased these phones for our 20 month old twin boys, today at TRU. They LOVE THEM. I think its so cute that they have a little clip, so they can do it just like mommy and daddy. Its also a flip-phone, which was very important to them. They like to record messages, and the messages play back at the perfect volume and clearly! The other buttons turn on songs, make dialing noises and the lady bug makes the circle spin. My boys also look into the little mirror and go, "handsome", just so precious. The little bear is constantly being chewed on, just like the previous reviewer mentioned. The antena lights up, which is very cool too. This phone has been droped too, and hasnt failed us yet. Its just too cute and its not too obnoxious. It kept our boys busy the whole day, I dont know what it is about this phone, but our boys sure as heck are in love!

cute, cute, cute
My kids are cellphone, keys, computer, watch, I Pod, fanatics! All those gadgets they love. Well we have an older cell phone that we gave to them, but it doesnt flip like daddies. And it doesnt make noises. So we bought two of these for our 3 year old b/g twins and 8 month old b.b twins. We were really deciding between this one and the elmo one, but after the bad reviews for elmo, I bought this one. My 3 year olds love talking into it, and cliping it to their pants lol. They cary them everywhere and pretend to dial too. They have a phone to each kitchen, but this is the "celltaphone", they call it a cell telephone but thats how it comes out. My 8 month olds love opening and closing it and playing with the little things inside. They also like to try and bite the bear. These are toys that we always have in the diaper bag because they are small and very fun for everybody, we may even buy two more, just so each kid can have one. Its also a break from all of those musical toys, this ones great, and simple. We usually save it for mall time, grandmas, car trafic, anything where the kids will be bored, doctors office ect. But they always find them and we always find them around the house, great toy, really cute.

My son loves this toy!
My 13-month old loves this toy. He presses all the buttons, pretends to talk, flicks the bug, and snaps it open and shut. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the record button is too accessible. My son always presses that button, effectively erasing the message I have recorded for him! ... Read more

Kids will be educated and entertained playing this jack-in-the-box game with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar and Ernie. The popular Sesame Street characters hide away in their vessels (a trash can, bathtub, cookie jar, and alphabet block) until they are freed by a tiny finger on a lever or button. They pop out with songs that match their popular personalities--Oscar lovely trash, Elmo's alphabet, Ernie's ducky and bubbles, and Cookie Monster's cookies, of course. The button and levers make interesting sounds as well. It's a good, repetitive lesson in cause-and-effect that's lots of fun for toddlers. Still, it's not much more than a jack-in-the box if grownups are looking for a toddler toy with more learning channels. Required: 3 AA batteries. --Diane Beall ... Read more

Good Cause and effect and motor skills toy
My daughter was behind in some of her skills. She played with this in therapy and loved it. I went to look for it. When we brought it home she has played with it every day since. The sound can be turned off. But I don't. It isn't loud and diturbing. Plus I like the songs it plays.

Fun, but disappointing.
This toy is fun, but sometimes big bird doesn't flash and play his song because my son doesn't push the button hard enough or move the cookie button far enough.I will admit the toy is fun, but it feels kind of cheeply made and again, the fact that the toy doesn't always play the music makes it less interesting to my son.

UNEXPECTEDLY AWESOME TOY
I took my daughter and her friend, who are both three years old, to the toy store and to my total shock out of all the toys we looked at this was the one they wanted to sit down and play with! I purchased it for my one year old because I thought if she would still be loving it at three it would be worth the money for sure! Itteaches cause and effect, a great concept for them to learn at this age, and it helps with their manipulative skills too! I gave it 5 stars all the way around. Another awesome feature that I had no idea about until I got it home and out of the box is the fact that you can turn the music off if you want some peace and quiet and they can still enjoy the toy! I know the girls will be playing with this for a long time to come. ... Read more

Incredible Learning Toy
I bought this fantastic toy for my daughter when she was 8 months old because she had such a strong interest in books. At first, it was too heavy for her to manage on her own, so we played with it with her and showed her all its functions. Now, a couple of months later it has become her absolute favorite toy. She toddles around the house with it in tow and will play with it alone happily for 10-15 minutes at a time, a few times a day. We read through it with her once a day or so, and it is one of her favorite books as well. We recently lost it while out doing errands, and I am happily and quickly, buying a replacement. I highly recommend it.

Soooo cute!
This toy is so cute, although my kids, 2 and 3, have yet to figure out that you are supposed to match the animals on the black to the story, they just like the story and the fact they make the book talk. It has a cute story, a cute song, cute pictures and best of all a volume setting :)

WONDERFUL book/toy!!!
My daughter has loved this toy since she was 7 months old!!! She's now 11 months old, and still LOVES it!!

She has always been able to sit there and push the buttons on the toy (except the block to make the animal sounds, which she now does). She loves to turn the pages and touch the "book" to make it read to her, and touch the "Frog" to make him sing to her. She loves ALL books though, and really likes the ones that sing or talk to her.

This is a GREAT toy!!! And if I had to, I would buy it again! ... Read more

Jack in the Box is a great toy for older children or for parents and kids to do together.My 18 month old cannot turn the handle in the correct direction and gets easily frustrated that "Jack" doesn't pop out!But when we do it together or my older son does it with her she laughs and loves to play with this toy.

My Son's New Favorite Toy
My son LOVES this toy.He is 2 1/2 and it only took him a time or two to figure out how to get Jack back in the box by himself.He plays with it all the time, and never fails to get excited when Jack jumps out at him.You don't have to completely finish the song to get jack back in, you just have to make sure the song finishes the "pop" note.The music is a very traditional music box sound, and not annoying in the least.We suspected he would love a jack in the box, and had trouble finding one that worked well.This one is fantastic.

Love it and leave it
This is a great toy...for a small amount of time. After a minute or two my son gets bored of it because it only does one thing and only plays one tune. Not great for younger kids because jack is hard to get back into the box and I think the young ones will have a hard time (sometimes I have a hard time...lol). Not worth the money I spent on it, but still a fun toy...and a classic. ... Read more

Great Toy
Both my kids love this toy so much. Yeah some of the things fall off (some of them are meant to). The only thing that they dont like is when the slide falls off but it snaps right back on. They are 32 months and 20 months (2 1/2 and 1 1/2) and this is one of the few toys that keeps their attention for more than a few minutes. Most toys they will play with for the first couple days and then maybe a few minutes every now and then but not this one. I have no clue what it is. To me this looked like a silly toy with no point but they loved it so much I bought them the Weebles farm too! And they like it too. Maybe a little too much..they want to play with them instead of going to sleep!

discs stopped spinning
I recieved this as a gift for my 18 month old. After about a month, the discs stopped spinning. Has not been touched since.

Loves It!!
I purchased this for my daughter at Christmas.She LOVES it. It is one of the 3 (out of about 15)toys that she plays with constantly.I don't understand some of the moms complaints about it coming apart.Yes the bench slides off (its supposed to). The sign comes off constantly...it's supposed to! Yes, they can rip off the slide...it's a TOY.The great thing is that all of these things go right back into place because...they're supposed to!Forgive my sarcasm, but this is a toy and it's made for babies to play with andd pull apart.Even the doors come apart.My daughter loves the music and she beats on it and sits on it and it still works beautifully.Fun toy...for Mommy too!! ...

great toy
I read the review another person had wrote that it would be hard for a 3 yr old. I think it all depends on the child. My 5 yr old has a bratz scooter & my 3 yr old at the time was only 2yrs & 5mths she did wonderful on it so i bought her a strawberry shortcake one for her 3rd b'day. She tried a tri scooter but lost interest fast.

Fun scooter but....
I bought this scooter for my twins 5th birthday.There is NO way a 12 month old can ride it.I think it would be difficult for a 3 year old as well.My girls do like it.Though it would be nice if it had training wheels.It is a great tool to teach balance.I would recommend this scooter and so would my girls. ...

Danger
Do not let your teething child have these as they can pull off chunks with their teeth and choke on them.Other then that I love em they dont hurt when your child throws them at you or anyone else.

love these blocks!
We introduced these blocks to our son when he was 12 months old.That was a bit of a mistake, since about 80% of them now have bite marks and big chunks taken out of them.Seems he preferred *eating* the blocks to building anything with them.Now that he's about 16 months old, he's finally less apt to eat them and more apt to build something.Or at least knock down whatever we build.I'd recommend these, since they're soft foam and won't mar walls (or foreheads) when kids get into their "throwing" phase.

AWESOME!
My 2 year old daughter really enjoys playing with the Sesame Street foam blocks on her play table. This set is super soft and the 80 pieces are large enough that they do not create a choking hazard. They come in a great carrying case which makes them easy to take along on trips...This is a great set to use during "quiet time" or even for play groups! Great Great Set! ... Read more

Entertaining and Educational
My daughter got this for her 12 month old birthday and she loves it.She loves the song Old McDonald and wants to play it over and over again as she dances to it.The animals are great for her to learn the noises but mostly to identify the animal.I'll tell her to go get the horse and she'll come back with it!It also goes great with the Baby Einstein video Baby McDonald because they use that toy in it and she recognizes it and will go push the button to make the song.Our daughter loves it and has had it for 2 months now and has not gotten bored with it.

dangerous choking hazard
My son loved this toy also.HOWEVER, this morning as he was playing he started coughing.I looked over to find the small hand piece missing off the farmer.When initially examining the toy upon purchase all the pieces appeared safe for a toddler as the package indicated.Obviously that is not the case as one hand piece had come off completely.I plan to contact the manufactor, however I strongly caution anyone who chooses to purchase this toy.As fun as it may seem it is obviously a choking hazard.

Get this toy!
Not only did my 1 year old love this toy when he got it, (as did his big sister) but he has been riding around the house on it for over a year and it is still in good shape!He thinks the trailer is great for sitting on and pushes himself around on it. (And he weighs 25 pounds!)The mechanism for moving itself forward automatically finally gave out recently due to his misuse, but he doesn't seem to mind. The animals are all included.(One person seems to have gotten an open package.) ... Read more
