Baby Tad is a wonderful interactive toy that makes early learning fun andeasy. Baby Tad (short for tadpole) helps your preschooler learn shapes, colors, activities,and songs. When your little one presses a colored light-up button, Tad identifies the colorand shape indicated on the button. With his cheerful demeanor and infectious laugh, Tadoffers support and encouragement and will quickly become a close and trusted friend.Besides various greetings,a squeeze of Tad's hand brings forth favorite children's songs, sung in a squeaky, high-pitched voice. --Alison Golder ...

Difficult to push buttons, turns off quickly
My 10-month old daughter always smiles when I bring out Baby Tad, but in my opinion the toy is not very well designed for babies. The buttons, embedded in fabric, are really hard for her to push. After a few seconds of not having any buttons pushed, Baby Tad turns off automatically, bringing a quick end to playtime unless I'm sitting there with her pushing the buttons. Could have been a great toy, but I think they missed the boat.

Baby Tad
I gave my granddaughter this toy on her first birthday, hoping it was not too young for her Every time I have seen her, she has been playing with it.She is 22 months and this time she started singing songs from it (unbeknownst to me).When I started singing with her, she brought it over and we sang every song together.What a perfect toy - colors, shapes, songs!

cute and playful but not for a 6 month old
My son learned to love this toy when he was about a 14 months old. It's a cute and now he enjoys it for about 5-10 minutes, but that's about it. The 6 month age suggestion is way too young! ... Read more

Choking hazard
The nose is glued and sewn on, but my baby still managed to chew it off.I found it hanging by a thread from it's face one day.So, cut off the nose before giving it to your baby, or never leave your baby alone with it once teething starts.

Too bad about the nose because my baby loves his puppytunes.

Dangerous toy - has been taken off the market in Denmark !
"Puppytunes" contains phthalates and has been taken off the market in Denmark!

The Danish environmental protection agency (Danish ministry of the Environment) also found the "multi sensory clutch cube" from Lamaze to contain TCEP and it has also been taken off the market.

TCEP can cause cancer and damage to the kidneys, and children should not be in contact with it.

Can't get enough
We couldn't find very many black, white and red toys so we purchased this as soon as we saw it...and thank goodness we did.Our son loves it and can't get enough of it.

My son can't take his eyes off of it!!
My son loves this product.I love the bright colors and all the different interchangable toys you can purchase to go with it.Easy to wash and folds easily to store!LOVE IT!!!

THE BEST EVER
This gymni is a great buy. I bought this for my daughter when she was two months old and it was the greatest toy ever.She loved looking at the toys at first and begun to kick her legs.Within a few weeks she would bat at the toys and pretty soon she could grab them.This was the greatest toy for my newborn she could lay under it for hours.Which made housework so easy for me because she was very happy under her play gym.Great toy and I recommend it for any newborn.After she was to old for the gym at about six months when she could sit up.She now enjoys playing with the detachable rattle, mirror and music box. ...

A soothing alternative to a wind-up nighttime musical toy, this softplush sleeping Pooh, accompanied by his best friend Piglet, can be placed in acorner of the crib and controlled by remote. Playing the music from a distancemeans no more sneaking in to rewind a toy and possibly disturb the baby. Pooh isdressed in a blue nightcap and snuggles on a small pillow, which is a plasticmusic unit covered with cotton. It has a soft flashing light inside and there isan on/off switch underneath. When pressed, Pooh's familiar voice sings alullaby. The blue plastic remote activates one of three choices--soft, tinklingclassical music, a Pooh song, or chirping birds and nature sounds. Parents willneed to decide if the hard plastic pillow unit is a safe choice for their child.The unit comes with three AA batteries, but three more are required for theremote. --Marianne Painter ...

My 14 month old still enjoys it...
We bought this before our son was born and use it almost every day still, even at 14 months old.The remote doesn't work very well for us and sometimes it takes a while to manually turn the music off but overall, this is a great product.We even bring it with us when we travel as a family.We love it!

Great toy and soother
We bought this for our daughter when she was 3 months old.She is 22 months, still loves Pooh, and it still helps her go to sleep.During this time, I have memorized "Pooh's Lullabee", which is featured in "The Tigger Movie".When I started singing this song to her the other night, she started looking for Pooh.Shortly after getting it I had to remove the music box because she was swinging Pooh around and I didn't want her to hurt herself, actually when I tried to put the box back in Pooh she cried.She loves to hold the music box and will not let it go any farther than the instrumental version of "Pooh's Lullabee".She pushes the button herself and when I hear the nature sounds I know she is asleep.I put this as educational because I let her play with the remote and she is starting to learn that Pooh causes him to sing, the bird is the nature sounds, and the music note is the other songs.She also has figured out that if she puts her hand over the speaker the volume decreases.She still cuddles up with Pooh and Piglet while listening to the music, and having the music box separate allows me to take it out of her crib without removing Pooh so she can't accidentally start him in her sleep.As far as the durability, I am very impressed and extremely pleased because she is not easy on toys.My biggest complaint would be my TV remote sets Pooh off only because when she hears him she has to have him.I am sad that Fisher-Price no longer manufactures this.

No Longer Made
When i saw this item online i was very excited at the idea of being able to play the music from afar..The bad news is i just got off the phone with Fisher Price and as of 2002 this item is no longer being made. I only rated it so low because im not one of the lucky ones who own it. ... Read more

I have 7 or 8 of them
My daughter loves this doll. It is her constant companion and comfort.She sucks on the hair -- who knows why?But since it's in her mouth constantly, I wash them constantly.They wash and dry very, very well in Woolite in the washing machine.The fabric has had everything imaginable on it, and it always comes completely clean -- except the area around the hair.After a few months, it does start to show drool stains (as another reveiwer noted), but I can't imagine what fabric wouldn't.So you have to replace Dolly every once in awhile, or ignore the stains.Fortunately, they're not terribly expensive, and they're readily available at lots of on-line stores, esp. Amazon.I'm pregnant with my second child, and I can't find any other "lovie"/doll that is a perfect as this one.I wish Eden made this particular doll in a different color!None of their other dolls compare.

3rd and going strong
we are on our third so soft baby girl doll for my daughter, the others got lost. We got the first one for my baby shower from my aunt and my daughter fell in love with it i then tried to get a spare just in case and couldn't find it anywhere and now that i found it i wish there was some kind of automatic shipper thatwould ship every 3-4 months :)

Daughter's favorite "baby"
We bought this doll when we found out we were expecting a girl - my sister had one when she was a baby, so I bought it out of complete nostalgia. It is very soft and does not have a rattle inside like many soft dolls do.Because of this, we allowed my daughter to sleep with it at night - the ones with the rattles are so noisy once they learn to roll over, and would wake my daughter up.The only problem I have with this doll is that the material does not clean well --- it can be tossed in the washing machine, but if your baby totes the doll everywhere like my daughter, it can be very hard to get drool stains out.The doll does stay soft with washing though.Just do yourself a favor and buy two so that you can wash them often. ...

Almost 7 months old...and still a favorite
My son loves these three toys!He used to just stare at them when we would hang them over his carseat handle (kept him entertained at restaurants!) when he was a couple months old.Now he loves to play with them, chew on them, crinkle the material, etc... His eyes light up whenever he sees any of them - although the monkey is his favorite.Now that he's starting to teethe, he likes to chew on the butterfly one.I really like that they can all clip onto anything - prevents them from falling out of the stroller/carseat.Plus you can dangle them and have baby reach for them.I would highly recommend them!

Great for the car!
I received these as a baby shower gift and have used them almost from day one.These were the first toys that caught my son's attention.I hung the elephant and monkey on his infant car seat and they kept him company on many car rides.Now he is 5 months old and he loves to chew on the butterflies.These toys are definitely a great buy for the money!

Great entertaining toys
My daughter who is currently 7 months absolutely adores those toys.She plays with them and holds on to them while she is in her crib. She loved them so much that I bought her more Tiny Love toys which are sold separately to put on her crib.Sometimes she falls asleep by holding on to one of the toys. ... Read more

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

Adorable
My son loved this guy!Not to mention that he's adorable!My son loved to look at himself in the mirror and it was great for a game of hide-n-seek with baby-tuck his feet in and have baby look!It was fun!

The first toy that caught my son's attention
This was the first toy that held my son's attention long enough to keep the tears away for at least a little while.
He's enjoyed the mirror on Tucker's bottom. Nothing fascinates him more than faces even his own.
The rattling and crinkling amuse him.
And the rings and shapes at the bottom are just right for him to grab and hold if he's in the mood.

My baby brother named Elias loves this tortoise
What a fantastic little toy for babies, toddlers, and midgets.Also, Tucker is a fantastically creative name.My baby brother Elias almost choked on it, but it is still a great toy. ... Read more

Want to give your new baby the sun and the moon? Celeste has athree-dimensional, yellow velour sun face with black embroidery on oneside, and an embroidered satin moon face on the other. Trimmed inbrightly colored, boldly patterned cotton prints, this is one visuallystimulating toy. Dangling from Celeste's round body are four stretchyblack-and-white polka dot ribbons with a different toy suspended ateach end. There's a yellow star teether, a square of purple velour withan embroidered butterfly that rattles when shaken, a green velourcircle with embroidered ladybug that squeaks when pressed, and atriangular plastic link. Celeste is easy to carry, too, thanks to acrinkling fabric handle. --Tami Horiuchi ... Read more

Daughter's first favorite
We got this as a gift for Maya before she was born and hung it on the toy bar of her pack & play.She loves it!It was the first thing she swatted at and grabbed.Now that she's sitting on her own, she loves to grab it and put it in her mouth.She seems to love the bright, smiling sun.And the stretchy arms are great to grab.

She still loves it!
At 4 months old my daughter "picked" Celeste out of the other Lamaze hanging toys.She immediately smiled and giggled when she saw it.We have always used it in the car primarily and to this day, even though she's 2 years old, if it's not hanging up in the car she asks for it.

Definitely recomend this
This is such a cute toy. When my son was younger we did not have this one but we had another toy that we hung form his carseat and he loved batting at it or just watching it . It was great for long car rides. I saw this on here and I plan on buying it for my next baby. ... Read more

Activity mats are a staple baby item in most households. They provide a safe, fun, and educationalenvironment where babies can lie, or sit, and entertain themselves. Tiny Love's award-winning deluxe mat depictsa riot of happy animals in Noah's Ark. Roosters, cows, giraffes, and even puppies will charm your baby.Acouple of squeaky, crinkly portholes hiding a cat and a lion add interest to this already jolly toy. Baby willlove the turtle mirror, rattling whale, jangling octopus, jingling rainbow, and the seahorse that sings "OldMacDonald." This mat will provide endless sensory stimulation and will build baby's language-learningfoundations. The mat and its arches fold up nicely, and the entire gym snaps together and travels easily.--Sandy Hirsch ... Read more

Great Investment
We were hesitant to spend $50 on an infant toy, but it was so worth it.My daughter stared, kicked, and rolled for many hours on this toy the first 6 months.The colors are great and she loved the accessories.She is now 9 months and I removed the toys.She now has them hanging on her car seat, stroller, and high chair.This is so versatile and well worth the money.

My baby loves it!
I bought this for my baby when she was just over a month old.$50 seemed like a lot of money, but she loves it.She will lay on it and play for an hour, and she is only 2 months old.It allows me to get things done while she is safe & content.It is the best $50 I spent.I'd recommend it to anyone.

Worth every penny!
This playmat is one of the best gifts the baby received! During the earlier months, he loved staring at the attachment toys, which encouraged him to reach & bat at things. Later, during tummy time, he discovered the crinkly pad and the bright colors on the mat, itself. We have also taken off the toys and attached them to his exersaucer, stroller, and carseat, for even portable fun. The rings that attached the toys to the gymini were also used to attach other toys with little loops. Therefore, we are still using the gymini (and different parts of it) at 7 months and will probably continue to do so. What a well-designed toy! ... 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

very cute, but the music is too loud
My 1-year-old daughter loves this "baby".I had one of these as a kid, and it was almost impossible to turn on, but this one turns on very easily when she hugs it.She also seems to really like the music.

The only thing I don't like is that the music is too loud.If she accidentally turns it on in her sleep, it's loud enough to wake her back up.So while it's an adorable toy, I wouldn't recommend it for bedtime.

Glo-ee - We Love It!
My daughter loves the Gloworm.I like the fact that it is small enough for my 11 month old to hold herself.It seems smaller than the older Gloworm that I remember.Sadie loves the light and the music.She has finally figured out how to turn the music on by herself.It is so cute to see her get so excited when Glo-ee shows up.She hugs the doll so tightly.

It is nice that the toy has different switches - one for the light by itself and one for both lights and music.I wish there was just an on/off switch because, when the batteries start running out, the worm makes weird sounds!

I also like the fact that the inside mechanism can be removed and the doll itself can be washed - even in the machine, which I consider a bonus.

My only criticism would be that the toy is very draining on batteries. We are on our third set in less than a month, and that includes cheap as well as expensive batteries.

Good choice for the price
My 9 month old daughter just received this toy as a gift. At first it doesn't look like much, but it turns out to be pretty entertaining. She likes the music ( which may I add is easily achieved by pusing lightly anywhere on the stomach) and how the head lights up too! Overall, for the price this is a great toy! ... Read more

Daddy likes this too....
My son Jacob has this toy and I probably enjoy it more than him.It's a musical instrument!It's a toy!It's both!I can enjoy playing "Mary had a little lamb" while he drools on it.(Well, he is 2.)Definitely a good purchase.

Very cute, but some room for improvement
Like other reviewers have noted, it's too hard for a baby to use, and definitely too heavy for a small child to pick up, but my 4-month old really likes to sit in my lap while I play it for him. It's awfully cute, and would be adorable even if it wasn't a musical toy. However, I nearly sent it back at first because one or two of the notes (legs) are tougher to get a sound out of (the higher notes). The yellow leg on ours has to be squeezed *just right* in order to sound the note, and even at that, it squeaks rather weakly. I also wish it had come with instructions for playing more than 2 songs. All in all, it's a cute toy.

So cute!
My daughter is 5 months old, and loves her octopus.She can't squeeze the legs to make music yet, but if we put it by her feet, she can kick to get the sounds going, and she laughs when she does it.She loves to hug it and stares at the colors-she also smiles at the happy face on the octopus.She cracks up when we make music with the legs...even though she can't play with it by herself, it's a great bonding toy for us to play with together. ...

Here are three toys from Tiny Love to stimulate baby visually, tactilely, and aurally. Included inthis set is a two-headed bird that's bright red with white polka dots on one side and black with white polkadots on the other. It has big black and white eyes, two pointy red beaks, and black and red wings withsimple white flowers. Press the bird's tummy and he squeaks! There's a white key ring with a black ball ontop and three black, white, and red keys attached. The tops of the keys are hard plastic with raised letters(A, B, C) and checks, squiggles, and zigzags. The lower portions of the keys are made of white rubberyplastic that's perfect for teething. Finally, there's a black and white, hard plastic bear that rattles and has ared, rubbery plastic teether attached. All three toys come with plastic rings that facilitate attaching them toother Tiny Love products, such as the Gymini 3-D Activity Gym and the Activity Arch, or to a stroller orhigh chair. These wonderful toys will fascinate even the youngest infant, and they might just provide youwith a moment of peace and quiet! --Tami Horiuchi ... Read more

I have these and...
If you're looking for the older style black, white and red tiny love mats they can be found on ebay for dirt cheap.I contacted tl and they don't make that style mat anymore. That is too bad, I think, since it's a well known fact that sharply contrasting colors are best for a newborns visual development.

My baby loves these!
My almost 3 month-old has been playing in his gymini for over a month already so I bought these to add to it. He hasn't been that interested in the bird yet but he loves the keys and the teddy bear rattle. The keys have taught him to grab and hold on for the first time, before he was just batting at things.

Safe and fun
My daughter really enjoys the keys. The bear, as many have said is just too hard to grasp, though. Because many other reveiws spoke of the bird being boring, I attatched it to my babys car seat thinking it might actually lull her to sleep in the car. Not so! This in the first toy that she reached out and got hold of! It took me two weeks to realize that it beeped when you sqeezed it. Don't disregard it because it seems boring to you (as it does to me!) It is easy to grasp, bright and soft. In other words, perfect for baby. Overall, I would have to say that this is a good investment although I wish the bear was more useful. Maybe when she gets older.

I hope this was helpful! ... Read more

Great toys!
My daughter is now 8 months old, and she has had these toys since she was born.When she was very tiny, she enjoyed lying and looking at them hanging from her playgym.Then, they were the first toys she reached out for.She still plays with them nearly every day.These are consistently her favorite toys, and she will choose them over any number of flashier, noisier toys any day!

Just adorable
These toys are just the most adorable rattle-type toys I have ever seen.My 8-month old daughter loves to hold them, chew them, touch them and shake them whenever I give them to her (mostly in the car or on stroller walks).They are light-weight (great for packing in the diaper bag), colorful and easy to clean.I find myself picking them up and playing with them occasionally.Very well made.I highly recommend this set or one of the similar Tiny Love sets.

This is a great set!
This is a great set!! My son loves to reach and grab these toys. They have helped him some more with his hand eye cordination as well as keep him entertained! We love these. It is an added bounus that they have little rings so we can attach them to his stroller so he can't throw them while we're out. We can attach them really to anything. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This cheery red and blue cloth toy is a depiction of Noah's fabled Ark, complete with a collection of miniature stuffed animals (arranged two by two, of course) and Noah himself, with his long white beard and shepherd's crook. At about 12 inches long and 10 inches tall, the SS Noah features two separate compartments--one in the roof and one in its side--into which the assorted zebras, giraffes, pigs, lions, geese, rabbits, crocodiles, hippos, and cows can go when the weather turns bad. (Assorted dogs, chickens, sheep, and other animals peer out from the windows.) When the 40 days and nights are over, the entire menagerie can ride on deck with Noah via a series of ingenious pockets that rise just above the waterline. This washable vessel, with a carrying handle on top, is an imaginative toy that's almost as enjoyable to cuddle as it is to play with. --John Longenbaugh ... Read more

Waste of Money
Received this as a gift and the animals were so small it became a choking hazard. I wound up not even letting my six month old play with the toy and eventually threw it away when my eldest lost all the animals. Now that I see how expensive the toys was.

Do NOT Buy
This toy was given to me as a gift- and at first I thought it was adorable.However, some of the toys are too small and a choking hazard.The worst thing is that the material is so cheap on the animals that as the baby chews them the color will come off in their mouth.Babies do love to chew these animals- my daughter loved chewing them- until I threw it away because of her mouth turning purple!Beware- it is a very expensive toy and your money would be much better spent elsewhere. Mommy of 2

Great toy and stuffed animals too.
This is a wonderful toy.It can be played with and cuddled too.It is also really cute.There are lots of things you can do with the many animals: match them, put them in the side pockets, roof pocket or under boat pocket. Or just play with them by themselves.When my son was younger he liked to chew on them.The boat and animals are very well made, I've even put a few through the wash.The company also offers a lifetime guarentee for free replacement animals if any are lost. ...

Atleast in my daughters opinion! I think its great for kids to have "lovey" toys, and my 2 sets of twins all have them. My younger b/b twins have matching puppies, and my older (3 y. o.) b/g twins have a teddy and DOLLY! I have 3 of these dolls. My daughter CAN tell the difference though. I have had this doll since she was born, in the car, stroller, and recently she moved to Maddy's big girl bed. This doll is so pretty, she is soft too so a sleeping child can hug and love their baby doll. She is VERY easily spot cleaned, (trust me). She is also washing machine safe! (Shouldnt all toys? :) ). This doll is deffinatly my daughters favorite, and i have had a few "first dolls". Get this for your child too, they will love her! (But get extras, you will need them!) All in all this is a beautiful, soft doll that will deffinatly last for years to come.

BABY!!!
My little girl got the precious baby doll for her 1st birthday and has not put it down yet.She takes it everywhere and screams if it has to go in the wash.I recommend buying 2 of the dolls since my dau. is only 18 months old and her doll is faded and stained from all the love it has recieved.This is the best doll she has.She plays with other dolls all day but "Baby" is the special one.

We call it Shakey
My daughter loves puppets and loves things that rattle, so this is a great combination. We named him Shakey the Giraffe. He is cuddly and has great colors.

Nice puppet for the $$$
My son was 4 months when purchased and he liked it but after a few times of seeing it he would no longer giggle etc. He is now 9 months old and goes for the blocks,stacking cups. It just sits in the toy box. Hopefully he will find interest in it again. The toy is alittle aquard to put hand in and manuever it as my had is quite little.

My niece loves this toy!
My niece will stop what she's doing every time I pick this toy up.She loves to give the giraffe kisses and "steal" it from me to hug!The toy is durable and colorful, not to mention adorable! ... Read more

What's the No. 1 group dance for the pre-school set? Hint: it's not the "Electric Slide" or "Cotton-Eyed Joe." You guessed it, and so did Elmo: the "Hokey Pokey." Though Elmo doing the "Slide" would be a sight to see, he masters the Pokey quite convincingly, to the probable delight of his toddling fans. After loading his foot with four "AA" batteries, press his hand and he performs the popular jig. He sticks out both his right hand and foot, shakes his body all about, then smoothly spins in place, thanks to a rotating platform under one foot. Elmo even spices up the beat, and sporadically speeds up the action; both innovations crank up the fun factor. The only downside: he was de-plushed, presumably because of all the mechanisms needed to help him dance and maintain balance. The result, still, is an impressive performance. He's just not very cuddly. --Diane Beall ... Read more

oh my gosh!!!
Can we say neverstop!! - she ran this thing into the ground!! played with it alllll the time and still does - highly recommend

My todler loves it!
I bought this for my son about two months ago. And I believe I must have gotten the most durable one. My 20 month old son was only dancing with him the first two weeks, until he discover that it's more fun to squeeze him, while he shakes, then throw him against the floor or wall. So far it has been over a month, and the Elmo is still singing, dancing, and saying oops or thank you. I would recomend this toy to any one.

Good times for kids
My 2 year old has this and loves it. He's already a huge fan of Elmo, so I'm sure that helps. The toy itself is rather neat since it pretty much does the hokey pokey. Elmo puts in his hand in, his leg in and he shakes all about, then he turns around in a circle. Doesn't work so good on carpet, better on smooth surfaces. The sound it good and lucky for us parents, the song doesn't last too long. If you tip him upside down he says "whoopsie!", and something about needing to be turned back upright. Cute toy. My son thinks Elmo is dancing with him. ... Read more

Dino-mite
The activity Dino made my newborn smile and helped him to learn to sit up.Even now that he is older, he will see it laying on the back of the couch and will crawl to it and crinkle some of the fabric or will just smile at the colors or when I squeeze the nose to make a roaring sound.I highly recommend it, especially for the 0-4 month age group.

Makes a great gift
I think this is a great product. It supports my son when he is sitting up and he loves to play with it. I have noticed older children like to curl up with it while watching television. I think this would make a nice gift because it is unique. Unlike most baby toys and products, we will get years of use out of the Activity Dino.

Expensive rubbish - waste of money !
We recently ordered Dino for our 6 month old son, thinking we could use it initially to help him sit up and then later as a fun rough-and-tumble toy. What arrived was a small overstuffed sock with a few "crinkly" spines. The quality of the material was cheap and nasty and the construction is appauling. As for the "roar" of the nose - we could barely hear a squeak. Needless to say, we returned this "toy" immediately. Don't waste your money - a pillow with a decorative face would be just as good and at least the cover would be washable ! AWFUL !!!!! ... Read more

A Toys "R" Us exclusive, Darby makes a soft, sweet companion for pet andplush-toy lovers of any age. Floppy ears, deep dark eyes, large tan paws, and acute stubby tail are all covered in the softest light brown fur imaginable.Darby's cuddle quotient goes up even higher, given that he is slightlyunderstuffed for extra "squeezability" when humans need something soft to hug.--Diane Beall ...

Darby Dog
I bought this Darby Dog for $20. I was very happy with the price because most items you see today are $20 for a small uselss item. Darby let me use my imagination, I could be his owner, vet or anything else. I love my Darby Dog he babysits my other stuffed animals very well! Great toy!

Perfect for all ages
My 1 year old daughter loves to hug and cuddle this dog, and she is not the cuddly type. It's just so very soft. It's also perfect for my wife to hold on to if she happens to be falling asleep while I'm not in bed.

Soft and cuddly!
My boyfriend gave me this stuffed animal for Valentine's Day.It's so soft and cuddly!When you hold it, it's as if you were holding a real puppy (except that it is very light). And every hug makes you feel sooo good!I love holding it in my arms as I sleep! ... Read more
