A Big Hit With Our Baby!A Favorite of Mom's Too.
We got this toy about 6 wks ago when my youngest son first started to pull himself up on things and it as been a favorite ever since.I love seeing his face when he climbs up on it!There are two settings, music and ABC's, so there are a lot of different songs to enjoy.The objects on top are really cute - it's a sort of picnic theme with snacks around a big soup bowl that spins like a steering wheel - very fun.The two sound level settings are also perfect: the low is not too low and the high is not too high - it's just enough to adjust for different noise levels in the room.The legs snap on and off quickly and easily, so in a few seconds I can convert it from a sitting toy to a standing toy (great when he was standing with less stability - I could set it down on the floor when I couldn't sit there to 'spot' him in the standing position).Both me and my preschooler love to play with him on it!

great toy...worth the money
I bought this toy for my son when he was 8 months old. He plays with it every day! I love the numerous melodies it plays, because you don't get tired of hearing the same song over and over. He knows how to pull the levers, flip the page, and dances along when the music plays. I highly recommend this toy.

Good, but could definitely use some improvements
My daughter got this at 7 months, and loved it right from the beginning.She's 12 months now, and isn't QUITE as interested, but she definitely still plays with it.So overall I think it's a pretty good toy for a baby or toddler, but I do have a few problems with it.

First, it's very bulky.It takes up quite a bit of floor space, and can't really be easily stored anywhere other than the floor unless you remove the legs.

Then, if the legs ARE removed, you've got to find a place for them.It would be much better if the legs could be folded under.Or even if they could be stacked and stored together, but they can't.

Now, I know that other activity tables are just as bulky, but many of them are more versatile.Like, the top can be flipped over and there's a Lego building table or a writing surface underneath.This thing pretty much just has buttons and lights and noises, so once your baby bores of that, you've just got a noisy, bulky thing that's tough to store.

So, while this isn't bad, I DO think there are better activity tables out there. ... Read more

Editorial Review

A realistically noisy pretend lawn mower with fun visual effects, this one is likely to get a good deal of use by toddlers who want to play grownup. The coolest part of this toy is the see-through plastic mulch compartment. It's full of tiny colored beads that dance around when the mower is in motion, giving the illusion of grass being mulched. An on/off key, gear switch, gas cap, and a loud popping noise add to the entertaining components. Made in typically durable Little Tikes fashion, this toy will stand up to many miles of lawn mowing. --Jane Snyder ... Read more

Mowing the carpet
My mother in law got this for my 16month old daughter for christmas and she mows everything with it...its VERY durable. Shes loves the popping noise it makes and when outside it isnt bad at all.

A lot of fun and A lot of noise!
My son just turned 2 and loves this toy. He loves to pretend he's putting gas in it and walks around the house one hundred times in circles. A bit loud but thats what they love!

BEST TOY
Gave this to my son when 14 months old. he is now 2 1/2 years old, and still plays with it daily! He loves to mow outside and in!Its nice to get years of enjoyment out of a toy. ... Read more

Pretty good deal but could be more exciting
I bought these blocks for my daughter when she was 9 months old and she really only enjoys them now. She is 14 months now and is starting to recognize some of the objects inside when I ask her to get them. But be warned bc they're not great for the real younger babies since there are only a few of them that really do anything like beep or rattle. Most of them just have a stationary object that may jiggle a bit. The ones that you can twist yourself are not child-friendly. She can't turn the knob at all so she gets frustrated. My 3 yr old can just do it. He likes them too bc they incorporate the alphabet. Another thing is that the printed letters block some of the objects so it's harder to see inside. I would more so recommend a diff set for a younger baby (6 mos)- like the sound sensations and these for an older child (1 yr). Although you can't beat the price for 26 of these blocks! I also just recently got the Roll-A-Rounds by fisher price as a gift. It's the same concept but a ball vs block. She likes them ALOT!

Great value.
This set incorporates a lot of the favorites from other sets packaged in an A to Z learning format.I have been leary of purchasing too many of these blocks for storage reasons so the zippered case is a great bonus.Definitely worth every penny. ... Read more

tireless fun for about $10
My then 6 month old son got this for Christmas and now at a year old is still entertained by this toy.He loves the way it lights up and is very pleased with himself when he gets it to play a song.In the 6 months we've had this toy, with constant use, I have only had to replace the batteries once.It is also not too annoyingly loud, although there is not adjustable volume.

We Love It!
We just bought this toy for our 15 mo. old daughter and 4 mo. old son- They love it!Daughter loves to dance with the music, carry the stars around, stack them, dump them, etc.Wish I had bought it sooner!

A great inexpensive toy
This toy has been a favorite of my girls since they received it. They like the flashing lights and noise it makes when you take the stars off or put them back on the base. They have enjoyed taking the stars off of the base and even trying to stack them back on. Overall, this little toy has been a great addition for our household. ... Read more

My 10 month old's favorite!
This is my son's favorite toy.He started showing interest in it at about 7 months and now he could play with this toy all day and never gets tired of it!He loves to put the blocks in the slots in the wheel and turn the wheel.I don't know what we would do without it!!

Looks better than it really is
This toy is not worth the money.The peek-a-blocks are okay, but my son prefers his wooden blocks for stacking and building.The rotating feature on this wagon is a real problem for little fingers.I can't count the number of times my son has pinched his fingers while spinning the wheel.

Lots to do with this one
My daughter was only 6 months old when I got this for her. She immediately became fascinated by the door, opening and shutting it repeatedly. Now that she is 8 months old, she is really into spinning the rolling drum and pulling blocks out of the storage bin. I am certain that she will enjoy all parts of this toy for a long time, especially when she learns to use it as a pull toy. The music is very cute, not annoying. My only suggestion is for Fisher-Price to separately sell the special blocks that are included with this wagon if some of the original blocks get lost. ... Read more

Great toy!
I got this toy for my twin sons when they were about 3 months old, now they are 20 months and still love him! He attatches great to the front bar of my Twin Savvy. He makes alot of noises and still keeps them occupied. WE do have to rotate toys now that the twins are older and get bored easily, but Pupsqueak is a favorite! He withstands washings and teething, spit ups, and biting, and even attempts to drop him off the stroller! He makes a cute barking noise and he has alot of little things for a baby to teeth on and to look at. My sons like to fiddle with the rings and hold him, they enjoy listening to him and of course "eating" him. I am surprized in the durablility of all my Lamaze toys and I really didnt think that they would last this long! They are just wonderful! My sons get a kick out of pupsqeak and he really is captivating from birth to childhood, a great toy that will last for years!

PUPSQUEAK!
Next to BR Max the monkey (also by Lamaze) and Zach's "lovey", pupsqueak is his favorite toy. Zach is four months old and really really loves pupsqueak. We use him to give variety to our son and Zach really loves him! If we make pupsqueak squeak, Zach goes into hysterics, and my 20 month old twins join in! ITs perfect for those really silent times when everyone needs a good laugh. Along with Max, pups (what we call him) is perfect for tummy time. Pups is also great for teathing, once Zach really starts getting those teeth in! Pups attatches well to almost anything, but my boistrus ball of fire gets so angrey and fustrated if we tether him to anything, he likes to hold him. Pups is very durable and has been easily spot cleaned and even in the wash! The colors are great for my son to stare at and he just loves him. I dont know what it is about Lamaze toys but they sure do put alot of thought into them to make them so gosh darn cute and interesting!

WOW
I am dumbfounded. I have two sets of twins, 8 Month B/B and 3 year old B/G. ALL of them LOVE this toy. My older twins enjoy making him a "baby". And giving him kisses amd making him do all kinds of tricks. They could do this with almost anytoy, but the ADORE pupsqueak. That Said I have 2 others wich I gave to my boys. They LOOVVVEE him too! I was amazed. I dont know if its just because hes a dog, (their lovey toys are a black and white dog and a brown and white dog, and they love our boxer and golden retriever mix) or maybe its just because PUPSQUEAK ROCKS! They love it when I attatch him to their carseats, They just got "big boy" carseats and pupsqeak of course had to make the transition too! A few weeks ago we went on a 8 hour car ride, I know that my youngest twins stayed quite mostly because they were soooo comfy in their marathons, and because they had... PUPSQUEAK! They had the option to play with other lamaze toys, which they loved but those just dont compare to pupsqueak. They even like him in the crib and in the stroller, a versitile little toy. And A toy that for 12 bucks will last THREE YEARS, wow talk about getting a bargin! Pupsquek is definatly NUMBER ONE FOR MY LITTLE BOYS! Well maybe number two, but no one ever beats their loveys Puppy and Doggy! ... Read more

Great idea but needs more
I bought this swing for my 7 month old and 2 year old and it's a great concept and is very durable and sturdy. There are a few problems with the leg room as there really isn't enough for 2not even little feet and the seat belts are very small.If they could make the swing a little longer to offer better leg room and larger seat belts this would be a must have for anyone with 2 small children.

Great for twins
My twin boys absolutely loved this swing and it is quite practical for families with twins or siblings close in age. By the end of the summer, though, they were kicking at each other because they were out of leg room. Unfortunately, they had outgrown it by 16 months!It was great while it lasted!

Great for twins or two kids!
I have twins and couldn't find any swings for two out there until this one.What a great item.It's durable, and safe.Even if only one child wants to swing, it doesn't change the flow of the swing.Perfect for kids close in age or when your child has a friend over.Great item!

o.k toy
I do like this toy. It helps baby walk when they are just starting and they can ride it when they get older . It is also very durable. But for the price I would recomend buying a better one cause this is so plain.

Great toy, Very durable
This toy has been through both of my sons and is still in fantastic condition.They both loved to ride on it and used it to help them master their walking skills.

Wonderful!!
We bought this for our 10-month old and it was the greatest thing we could have bought him!It was easy to put together and our little guy loves to push it around the house.He's had it for a couple months now, and can get on and off of it pretty easily.For the low price, this is a great value! ...

Good Starter for Sorting, but May Be Outgrown
We received one of these as a gift at birth, and our son is now a year old and busily sorting everything he can get his hands on., so we've seen him go through several stages with this toy.

Like all the Lamaze toys, it's made with a variety of developmental stages in mind. It's extremely solidly made, enough so that you can plan on passing it on when your child is done, and washable -- all extreme plusses for the value for money. The colors and patterns are great, and were of interest to him from about 3 to 9 months. The "blocks", soft stitched shapes, were of more interest to him earlier on. As a sorter, though, he really lost interest in it before he got to the age of wanting to match shapes up with holes, and by the time he was strong enough to open and close the "lid", he was already into somewhat more complicated such arrangements (such as an oats box and lid, his baby wipe boxes, and a hard plastic sorter). He's now more interested in throwing the thing around than sorting with it! But that's OK, too!

As such, the sort of primary intended goal of the toy -- to provide early shape-sorting/passing -- seems to be less successful. That said, it's a great first-gift toy, because it has a fairly long lifespan and a variety of "uses" as the baby's focus changes.

maybe better for an older baby
I purchased this for my 8 month old son and he has not showed a real interest in this toy yet.The quality is very good and I am hoping that when he is a bit older he will start playing with it.I would not recommend this for a young baby.

Great for tummy time!
I received this as a baby shower gift, and introduced my daughter to it around 4 months of age.She uses it during tummy time.She loves to reach for the shapes, push them around, and chew on them (teething!).When we play with it together, she can feel the different fabrics and hear the different sounds made by each piece - this is a great toy! ...

Editorial Review

An innovative toy for those who are way too young to look after real fish, this soft baby toy is a seven by seven-inch "fish bowl" with two transparent side panels containing real water. Small aquatic critters float around in these narrow walls of water. Even more interesting are the four three-inch stuffy toys (a fish, starfish, clam, and crab) that fit into the "bowl" between the watery side panels; the magnifying effect of the sides really makes these toys (and anything else in the bowl) look as if they are under water. The soft base is weighted and makes the bowl quite stable. --Richard Farr ... Read more

I Have No Words!
This toy left me in awe.It is probably the greatest invention ever including condoms!

My baby daughter loved this!
This was truly my daughter's favorite toy.We got it for her when she was about 7 months old, and she played with it daily until she was about 2 1/2.She loved the bright colors and sounds the different sea creatures made, enjoyed teething on the crab, and when she got a little older, loved the "put in, take out" things she could do with the fishbowl.Although it's a little pricey at $20, for us, this toy was definitely worth the money!

Great for infants!
My son (7 months) got this as a gift for Christmas...loves it!He loves the clam and the crab.I usually shake up the aquarium before I give it to him and his whole face lights up to see the bubbles and the little plastic sea creatures "swimming" furiously around! I would definitely recommend it for an infant. ... Read more

My son's favorite Toy
My wife and I bought this for my sonm when he was 3 months old. Everytime he would cry, we played the ABC's and it would calm him down. He would cry every time we took it away until he fell asleep. Now that he is 13 months old, he sleeps with it in his crib and it still helps him go to sleep. He holds on to it all night long and when he wakes up in the middle of the night, we hear the ABC's going until he falls back asleep. When he throws it out of his crib, he cries until we give it back to him. We are going to buy another one, just in case something happens to the one he has. It has been a life saver on so many occasions.

Wonderful!!!
We bought this toy when my daughter was 6 weeks old.I held it up to show her in the store and she cried when I tried to put it back.We tried substituting the smaller dragon, but she could tell the difference - so Dragon came home with us.At seven months, Dragon still gets smiles.She is just learning to play the music for herself and thinks it's a big treat when an older sibling entertains her with the puppet.Best of all, Dragon has been a lifesaver on long car trips when the music has stopped her crying and even put her to sleep.

Great entertainer
I just purchased this item for my daughter (8 mos.).She absolutely loves it.I also have three sons (9 yrs old & 8 yr old twins).They enjoy playing w/ the puppet and interacting w/ their sister. ... Read more

Not made well at all
We bought this for our son 2 months ago.He loved to ride it and had alot of fun with it.Notice the past tense, it no longer works only 2 months after buying it.First the 1st gear went out of it, then reverse stopped working and now 2nd gear doesn't work either so he can't even ride it anymore.I have been trying to call customer service all day and it says all lines are busy.It won't even allow me to hold for a service rep.I have to keep calling.I'm upset that it is so hard to even talk to someone about it.My friend also purchased this for her son a month before me and is having similar problems.Peg perego told her they are aware of a problem with it and would send a replacement part and instructions on how to fix it.I have also had the same durability problems as with some of the other reviews.The tailgate, hood and bumper won't stay on.The axle in the trailer falls out often.The overall snap together assembly is constructed so poorly that we are constantly snapping things back in place.We have purchased several power wheels in the past for our other children.This is the first peg perego we have purchased.The price was affordable and I like the different styles they have but I don't think I would buy from them again.The price certainly reflects the quality and it's not good.

Great Ride On but Overpriced
My children love this and I recommend it, (...).

Not very happy

This pink and purple girl's trike is equipped with everything a beginning rider would want or anticipate from Radio Flyer. Besides being for first-time riders--excitement enough--it comes with a list of confidence-inspiring features, besides having three large, sturdy wheels on a lightweight metal frame to prevent toppling. There's also a large bucket seat for maximum comfort; easy to reach pedals with foot brakes; easy-grip handle bars with wind-lovin' tassels; a rear-end basket for all kinds of toddler "stuff; and a kitschy finger bell kids will love to ring as they turn blind corners in the house. New riders will take pride in every pedal with a trike so well-equipped. --Diane Beall ... Read more

Dangerous Trike
We just got this trike at toysrus for our 24 month old daughter.It looked so adorable online and in the store, and looked fairly similar to the Kettler that my older daughter had.The price was a plus, as well.However, once we got it home and tried it out, it did not take long to figure out how dangerous this trike is.The first try at a turn and WHAM!the trike tipped and fell over.I thought this might have been a fluke and that perhaps my daughter was not sitting on the trike correctly, so I got her back on and away she went again.About the 3rd or 4th try at a turn and WHAM! Again, the trike tipped and fell over, and this time she got a slightly bloody nose from hitting the pavement hard, face first.Needless to say, I put the bike away immediately and I am returning it ASAP.This trike is definitely a hazard.

We have NEVER had a problem with our older daughter's Kettler Blossom trike.It has NEVER tipped.So, this incident took me by surprise and afterward, I compared the trikes. Although I am not an engineer, it seems fairly clear to me why the Kettler is infinitely more stable.First, the distance between the two back wheels on the Radio Flyer is only 11 inches.On the Kettler, the distance is 14 inches, a full 3 inches wider.Also, the distance front to back on the Kettler is longer.Finally, the wheels on the Kettler are bigger.

Another plus for the Kettler is that the frame is adjustable and as your child grows, you can lengthen the frame to accomodate longer legs.The Radio Flyer is not adjustable.This wasn't a concern for me, because I figured that when my younger daughter outgrew her trike, she would start riding my older daughter's adjustable Kettler, while my older daughter would get a regular bike.

In any event, you don't need to take just my word for it.Please, please, please take a look at the reviews for the Radio Flyer Fold-2-Go trike, which is the EXACT SAME TRIKE as this one, but it is red and blue instead of pink and purple.There are several reviewers of that trike that have had the same experience with tipping.This is an important safety issue and should be of great concern to all parents of young toddlers who are shopping for trikes.

Now, the Kettler is much more expensive, but they make the SAME tricycle as the Blossom, but with a different name and much less expensive.It's called the Kiddi-o Simba. I've just contaced Kettler and verified that it is basically the same trike with the same dimensions and safety features.(you can go to www.kiddi-o.com and call the toll free number yourself.)Plus, it's only 29.99 right now at Toysrus (the same price as this Radio Flyer.)Personally, I'm going to go out and exchange this one for the Simba immediately.Sure, the Radio Flyer is very cute, and the little basket, the bell and the fringe on the handles are adorable.But don't be taken in by how cute it is.It is unsafe.

love it!!
Very durable,folds up easily to go in the car or for storage (when they grow out of it)my daughter is 22 months old and she just loves her bike!!

Super cute and my 16 month old daughter loves it!
This is a super cute trike for beginners and on... Made by Radio Flyer which has been around forever and is great quality! My husband and I found it at ToysRUs and our 16 month old little girl sat right on it as if she had riden it a hundred times! Pink and Purple and really girly yet durable and well- made! We got it for her for Christmas and she just adores it!!! Great price too. Check it out in the store and see if your little one loves it as much as ours! Enjoy! :) ... Read more

Maybe I'm just paranoid
Maybe I'm just paranoid but the section of the float where the baby sits holds less air than the adult section.I wouldn't dare let go, but it seemed like my baby started to sink & possibly MIGHT tip if I didn't hold the adult side down.I have to admit though, my 17 pound 3-1/2 month old loves it.He can sit up with little support and goes to town kicking.

Awesome product!
The first time I used the "Baby and Me Float" I was comforted by the proximity of my child.I actually cuddled him the first 15-minutes, or so.Baby sits a little deeper in this float than the cheap ones drug stores carry, so that gave me peace of mind.The float requires 100% adult interaction, as baby could tip it over if left unattended.We usually swim as a family, so either my husband, or I would carry our son into the water, and place him in the float, while the other parent slipped into the ring.If you're considering using this float without assistance from another adult, I recommend leaving the float on the deck before entering the water.This way you're free to carry your baby into the water without distractions.

Both my husband and I were comfortable using the float.That's saying a lot!My husband is 6'7" tall and weighs 240 pounds, while I'm only 5'3" tall and weigh....What?If you expected me to divulge my weight on a product review, you're crazy!Anyhow, the float accommodates a variety of shapes, sizes, and weights.Aqua Leisure does not provide a weight capacity for this product, which I find unusual, but considering it's a floatation device and water weight is drastically different than actual weight, it might be discretionary.The float is recommended for babies 6-months to 2-years.That's probably an accurate recommendation; however, I wouldn't use age as the determining factor.If your child sits confidently in a highchair, then they're probably strong enough for this float.In addition, the baby seat is rather generous, so it accommodates older, or larger children as well.

The "Baby and Me Float" is long lasting.We used the float for two summers without leaks, or puncture wounds.Phoenix has a long outdoor season, April through October, so that's equivalent to 6 or 7 months of continual use.I'd say that's an exceptional record for a floatation device.I'm not sure if the float deflates if the toy bar's penetrated, as my son wasn't much of a nibbler at that age.Although if you ask me, the toy bar's useless.The balls don't roll easily, and the rings are difficult to slide.Well, for a 1-year old anyway.

(...) It truly enhanced our summertime fun, so I'll gladly recommend it.

Be careful, and happy floating,
Mary :)

Fun in the water!
We bought this for my son, who was about 9 months old at the time.He absolutely loved being in the water.I liked the fact that I could be right there, facing him, talking to him, kicking us around the pool.He soon learned to kick, too, and would lean the was he wanted to kick.Sometimes my 5 year old daughter would go in it facing him and I would stay at their side.It was a lot of fun for the family.The only problem was the ring holder.My sister had the same float, and both boys bit a hole in theirs before the summer ended.It was just too tempting a target, right in front of them for periods of time, with those new, interesting, sharp little teeth!Gently encouraging him not to bite didn't work, but I would buy this again if I have another baby simply for the enjoyment on all our parts! ...

Favourite baby toy of both my kids
The Whoozit was given to my daughter as a gift and frankly before I had it, I'd have looked at the price and bought a cheaper toy.However it was on her favourite toys as a baby.In fact she played with it until she was 1 1/2 years old, which is a very long time for a baby toy. Now it's my son's favourite. He only has the use of one hand, but it's light enough that he can play with it.It has 7 striped legs with different shapes and textures, a plush red nose that squeaks with a mirror underneath and a terry cloth semi-circle mouth that you can hold onto.The back has a black and white bull's eye pattern which was fascinating to both children when they were under 2 months old.

A great baby toy.
I have bought each one of my kids this whoozit and I recently bought my daughter one she is 81/2 months old only I bought her the girl version called whoozit tizoo it is shaped like a heart and WOW she loves it. You can play peekaboo with it and she learns the different shapes and textures. I LOVE this toy and have for years. We also bought the small version for travel. This is a great toy for when they start to focus on things and they will fall in love with it and sleep/play with it for a long time. WHOOZIT is worth every penny...

my little girl loves it
My daughter got this as a gift when she was born from a friend that said this was her girls favorite toy.The backside of this toy is a black and white bullseye, my daughter at 2 months could not stop looking at it.Now, at three months, I have this hanging on the side of her play pen (with the help of some link-a-loos) and I prop her up next to it with her boppy and she reaches for the nose, smiles and babbles to it.It so funny to watch her with it.Next to her mobile, and my silly faces, it is the thing that she seems most interested in. ...

Get ready to learn shapes, colors, numbers, letters, face parts, animal sounds, and more with Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang! This Sing & Teach Table features tons of buttons and other interactive gadgets that prompt fun lessons for babies and toddlers, all in the wacky, weird voices of the Muppets. (Presumably, tots are familiar enough with the characters to understand all the squeals and growls.) The semi-circular shaped plastic table stands 12 inches high, not counting the waggling Elmo head that presides over the action. Children sit or stand at the table, lifting the Cookie Monster head to learn about "open" and "closed," spinning a drum for the alphabet song, or picking up a cell phone to hear The Count soliloquize about numbers. Bright, cheerful, and noisy--just what the toddler ordered. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

My son LOVED this toy.We bought it for him when he was 8 mos. old and he played with it non stop, that is, until IT stopped working.After only 3 months of use Elmo's head stopped working (that's what my son loved most about the toy was the moving Elmo).So we called Fisher Price3 and of course they would replace the item, but we would have to pay shipping and after paying $35.00 for a toy, I didn't think I should have to pay more for a defective toy.We were dissapointed with Fisher Price's lack of concern about the quality of their products.But for the 3 months it worked, my son loved it!It was his favorite!

Cute but Elmo's head quit moving within 3 months
My daugher LOVES this table and still plays with it, but Elmo's head is supposed to move back and forth while the music plays.She got it for Christmas and she was not rough on it at all and by Easter Elmo's head no longer moved.Other than that it still works fine and she still enjoys it.But she takes her little hand and manually moves Elmo's head back and forth and looks at him like "hey, what's wrong?"Overall a cute toy to teach about eyes, nose, ears, etc. and the alphabet.Plus good for when they are first learning to stand up.

Twin daughters LOVED it!
My girls ended up with three different playtables that were suppose to be the best. THIS is the one they loved the most! ... Read more

A must have
How I wish I would have known about these mats sooner!I unfortunately didn't get these mats until my 1 year daughter tripped on our hardwood floors and ended up with 3 stitches across her eyebrow -ouch!These mats are fantastic.My child now falls down on these mats and she doesn't so much as wimper.This is the greatest thing out there, and it's so much better and healthier to have than carpet. They are a little pricey, but worth every penny.

We have 6 packs of these!
Our child runs a collision course all day long, and we have hardwood floors throughout the house, and only concrete in our back area.We have some of the playmats in the living room area and in the baby (17-month old) bedroom to define play areas, and I can comfortably do sit-ups next to my boy while he plays.We have three sets in the back "yard" under his climbing/slide structure and he seems to be pretty safe, but he's also very well-supervised and "spotted" at all times.These mats are about 3/4 inch thick, and are the thickest I could find.When he is older, we will use these to build forts, I am sure!A friend of mine lost her 6-year-old daughter in her own back yard while playing on a swing-set...I would feel anxious with just 3/4inch of material between a falling child and concrete.I would not use these playmats under swings.That might lead to a false sense of security.I would just skip the swing set if I only had concrete for a play area.

Miracle Product
We put 3 packs of these under a Little Tykes slide on a concrete porch.Miracle of miracles, these amazing mats have allowed for hours of play time without one bump, scratch or otherwise "owee".I have seen my son fall dozens of times without anything but a pause before giggling and leaping up for more.I would recommend these to anyone, and am going to look for a way to invest in the company if I can! ...

Well-made product
A sturdy and well-made puzzle. My twin girls are a little late in developing fine motor skills, so this was a great choice for them. It's a BIG puzzle and the individual pieces are large enough that they're hard to lose. They're well-finished enough that it seems safe to let the little ones chew on them. The variety of shapes and images underneath are nice.

Super Developmental Activity for Little Ones!
I purchased the Jumbo Knob Puzzle: Shapes for my son's 1st birthday.It was too difficult at first, but he quickly grew into it.We'd work it together, and I'm still amazed how much he'd retain the next time we would attempt to put it together.I like that we could work on shapes, colors, matching, and developmental skills in the same toy.Additionally, the jumbo knobs are easy to work, and the pieces don't have to go in with the label upright.This is especially helpful when placing the octagon, and the pentagon pieces.William was fond of this puzzle, and it's held up extremely well.He finally allowed me to put it in the closet with the rest of his baby toys, and he's almost 4-years old.

There are pictures underneath, but not the pictures of the shape.This toy requires a bit more thinking than the typical "pictures under the pieces" puzzle.The pictures are animated objects that reflect everyday life, such as, a clock, a house, and a school bus.The pieces are very chunky for little hands, and have large jumbo knobs.My only gripe is with some of the picture selections.The diamond picture is a close-up of a diamond window.My son didn't know what it was, and when I asked him today he said, "I guess it's a diamond, mom."Perhaps, a better choice would be a kite.At any rate, the puzzle makes an excellent activity for young children. I definitely recommend it.

too expensive
this puzzle costs entirely too much for what it offers. you can get the same quality puzzle for $15.00 less at a local store. It held my 2 year old's attention for about 5 minutes and that was it. B-O-R-I-N-G. ... Read more

My daughter loves it!
My daughter recently got this toy for her second birthday from her grandparents. She loves it! She's a little small for it right now, but her feet can reach the pedals. My husband and I enjoy pushing her in it due to the awesome rear steering this trike has. And she loves pushing it around, too! The canopy is a big plus as it has a window in the top so who ever is pushing it can also see the child riding it.

I DID NOT CHOOSE THIS BIKE***THIS IS NOT A KETTLER
FIRST OFF, I thought that this bike was a Kettler because Toys R US has it listed under Kettler products (it's a Kiddi-o product, duh).I was trying to choose between these two trikes.One was the Blossom Trike and the other was the Kiddi-0 Steering ST2 (this one).Obviously, Kettler trikes are better made and have a 3 year warranty.This bike has only a 90 day warranty.This bike has great features but, personally, I'd rather have a bike that was better built and lasted.

don't let the moving pedals fool you
I am the mother of an 18 month old who is not walking.She has splints because of a special condition she has with her feet.Her physical therapist has only recommended the Kettler tricyle for her, and for the 1 reason another reviewer found as a drawback, because the pedals move when the parent pushes the trike.She has special pedals that her feet get strapped into, and away we go.Her feet moving help her to keep her balance and it strengthens her trunk and legs, so that whenever she does get old enough she will be strong enough to push it on her own.I have an older son who was premature, and has a milder version of her problem, and always refused to pedal a tricyle, because it was too hard (we also have a radio flyer for him, which was a big waste of money because he refused to pedal it for 2 yrs).My daughter got her special Kettler, and he learned to push the pedals on it (I believe the Kettler is easier to push than the Radio Flyer, esp since the Kettler has a back on the seat, whereas the R.F. doesn't) and now I have to fight him for his sister's trike.If only I had known earlier, and just gotten the Kettler to begin with, I wouldn't have been frustrated with him, or have wasted my money on the R.F.All in all, the price is steep, but for a child who needs some extra help, it's a great buy. ...
