Why should big bouncy high-energy fun be reserved for carnivals and outdoor festivals? Now you can have the excitement of the bouncy castle often seen at those public venues in your own backyard. This castle set inflates with minimal effort once you hook it up to the heavy duty fan that is included. The packaging claims that the castle can be fully mounted in 45 seconds and in our informal test we did have pretty speedy results. Once its set up, kids up to 83 pounds are ready to get in and bounce (total weight should not exceed 250 pounds) in the yellow, red, and blue castle set. The entrance ramp and safety netting around the sides make for nice touches as does the convenient storage bag. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Beware
Ten months after purchasing this product, and with minimal use, our Bounce 'Round Deluxe Castle developed a four inch tear along a seam.Not to fear, according to a Spinmaster representitive, because a patch kit can be purchased for $8.90 and when applied correctly will repair the tear.One month (two uses) after properly applying the patch, the tear continued along the seam and is now a 12 inch tear.

My biggest disappointment is with Spinmaster customer service.Because my purchase was outside of the limited 90 warranty they refused to do anything.I assured the representitive that I was not looking for something for nothing and I persisted to try to find some middle ground.If nothing else I would have considered purchasing a new jump house alone since I still have an operational motor.But I was told that Spinmaster could not (or would not) make that offer.

In summary, your Bounce 'Round will be a wonderful product as long as it holds together.MY Bounce 'Round Castle is a waste of money.

P.S.Anyone want to buy an extra motor?

Safety
We purchased this item and while the kids (ages 3 and 6) loved it, we found it to be quite dangerous.It is very easy for the kids to bump into eachother when there are 3 or more children playing in it.We also found that the safety instructions advise you not to use an extension cord for the fan, but the cord provided was not long enough to offer a safe distance from other objects.We ended up returning this to the store.

Fabulous Energy Releaser / Fabulous Rainy Day Toy
My kids (ages 1, 3, and 5) got this for Christmas and they love it...and all their friends love it.We put it in an unfinished area in our basement and they jump to their hearts content.It's durable, and helps them release some energy, especially on cold or rainy days! ... Read more

The Aquadoodle isn't a pool or tub toy, but without water it's no fun at all. It's just a drawing mat after all, but kids will like the novelty of its disappearing colors. The 81 by 53-inch drawing mat is large enough for several kids to doodle on at a time, using the included magic marker pens that do not transfer color to other surfaces (to our knowledge …). Color from the pens appears when water touches the mat; it then fades out without a trace in 60 seconds or so. That's it: no ink, no paint, and no mess.Diane Beall ... Read more

Lots of fun
My 2 year old loves his aquadoodle.He got the aquadoodle and some extra pens and the stamps.You need to order at least one extra pen so you can play with it with them.

Great for anywhere doodling
I recently saw this toy at a friends house. I had to get a 2 year birthday present and decided to buy this and buy one for my 3 year old and 14 month old. My 3 year had a great time during quiet time the other day and even figured out to wet her hands and feet and make prints. Today my 14 month old played with it while I premade some dinner. I like the fact that it doesn't write on anything else and my 14 month put the pen in his mouth but it is only water. It will be great on trips.We got the extra pens and stamps and that has been wonderful. Love it.

A hit for kids of various ages!!!!
This product is AWESOME!!!!My 2 year old son received this for Christmas.Since it only came with one pen, I bought the extra pens so he and my 4 year old daughter could play with it at the same time.They both love it and I don't have to worry about them fighting over who gets to play with it.It is big enough, they can both draw on it at the same time.
Yesterday, I also brought it with us while my daughter was in gymnastics.It folds up easily enough to take it places and I stuck the pens in the middle of it so they would not get lost.There are plenty of other kids that go there, so they are all sharing each others toys.It definitely was a hit as kids from 2 - 10 were down drawing on it with him.There was constantly 3 kids drawing on it at a time and they ended up filling up the mat by the end of the hour, so I just layed it out when I got home to complete drying.However, most of the time when it is just my son and daughter using it, any of their drawings dry fast enough that it DOES keep them entertained for quite a while.

A fun outdoor activity
We just purchased this for our 3 yr old a few days ago and she loves it. Getting it inflated was a breeze, and she had so much funplaying. The play space of this bounce 'round is smaller than the others however, and was the only thing I personally found fault with. Also, the storage bag that comes with it is a little small.
The fan is much quieter than I thought it would be, which is a bonus.
The recommended ages for this bounce 'round (as shown on this site) are misleading; on the box and toy itself, the recommended age is 3+ years.
All in all, my daughter is happy, and so am I.
You can buy with confidence!

A little girl's dream house!!!!!
My two little niece's have this and they love it. They spend all day jumping in it!! I and waiting for my son's birthday to come up Oct 23rd he will turn 2 and I am planinng on getting the spongebob one for him!!!! Its up in less then one minute and down in the same!!!! VERY COOL!!!! ... Read more

Glad my son talked me into buying it!
I bought this for my 4 year old's birthday this past July and have been very happy with it.My 10 year old came with me but since it was in a box and there was no display, I was most worried about the size and quality.Well, after getting it home and blowing it up, I was VERY happy with the size and impressed with the quality.Even my 10 year old and his friends have had a lot of fun in it and trust me, they're not all that gentle with it but it withstands it.Plus, it's light enough to move around, although a bit cumbersome.We use it indoors or out and it's just so much fun.I would highly recommend this purchase and now it's on sale!

I LOVE THIS THING!!
I bought the bounce got my son's 2nd birthday party instead of renting one for $275 for 4 hours, I was skeptical at first and so was hubby but I love it love it love it, My sons love it I have a 2yr old and an 8 month old , For his party up to 5 kids fit in it with no problem 3 yrs and under, It was a hit for his party and we have used it about 4 times total, It inflates in 5 seconds and takes a while to disinflate, Its easy to put away and fold but it never fit in the box it came in so buy a bag for it. Anyway it must remain on constantly while in use. I love it , It's totally worth it. Make sure you put a large cloth or plastic cover under it to protect it from rocks and stuff.Have fun jumping i know we do!! Oh yeah even I have gone in there to play with my 2 kids :)

A "Wow!" Toy!
I bought a similar product from SpinMaster and am very pleased with it overall. More importantly, my kids are completely thrilled with this toy and are jumping maniacs! I got the circus themed one which is 7 feet tall. The jumping surface is just under 6'square. The quality is very high. I was surprised at the weight of the rubberized, backpack type fabric of the unit-the jumping surface is slip resistent rubber. The stitching seems very durable, often double stitched. The netting is soft, but strong and durable. The entrance/exit is secured with a velcro patch and the "opening" is reinforced well for all the grabbing it is sure to take. Mine came with a extra large very durable duffel bag, though I think it will take quite some effort to squeeze and roll the house up in order to get it to fit in the bag. I can't imagine that the fan will fit into the bag as well. The set up takes about five minutes-honestly. I place a tarp beneath it on the grass and hammer in 7 securing stakes, 2 additional stakes hold the fan upright. Once turned on, the whole thing inflates in 30-45 seconds. It's so quick it seems like it goes up instantly! Deflation is surprisingly quick as well-even with the fan attatched. When I have let the unit deflate on it's own it always collapses into/on itself-great design! If I just leave it for about 5 minutes it is remarkable how much air is released by itself. So far I just fold it over and "keep it wrapped" in the tarp because I keep putting it out every day. I've started keeping the stakes in the ground too, to further expedite the set up! I have a 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 yr old and they are delighted beyond belief! At first they questioned it's small size (compared to commercial ones they have jumped in). They think their bounce house is the bomb-diggity! We have 8 yr old neighbors who can't get enough of jumping in it. Because the weight is so substantial and the house has a wide base I believe that this toy could be used indoors with close adult supervision. Extra care would have to be taken to watch for house "moving" due to jumping and in keeping the fan upright. The fan base is freestanding, though the base is rather small for the large and heavy (metal) fan. All in all, I think this is a great splurge toy and it seems very durable. I expect to get several years use from it. The instructions read that the unit will remain inflated even with a small hole in it. I'm sure raft patch would be a good repair option, or duck tape in a pinch. ... Read more

4-Year-Old's Favorite Toy
We got the Spongebob Bounce 'Round for Christmas 2003 for our son, then almost 3.So now we have gotten over a year's worth of use out of it.My son loves it now as much as he did when we first got it.I, too, thought it was expensive, but I did not realize how durable and well-made it would be.The canvas is really thick and durable.As someone else mentioned, it is made so that it "breathes", so it doesn't matter if it gets a small hole in it, but I have not had any, and it has taken a TON of abuse from my boys.Also the pump is super powerful - it really does fill up completely in less than one minute.Not only do my kids bounce in it, but they pretend it is their "house" and do lots of pretend play in it.My only complaints - and these are minor - is that the storage bag that it comes with is too small - you'd have to be Houdini to get the bouncer back into it.On my last attempt to do just that, the zipper gave out, so now I have no good way to store it.Also - the pump is not very well balanced and doesn't have a large enough base, so it is always tipping over.Probably not very safe.Lastly, it is pretty noisy, but I've gotten used to it.Overall, I think the bouncer is a great value and always the first thing kids want to do when they come over, and it's a great way for kids to get exercise and burn energy on a yucky day.

Get One of These!
We got one for Christmas, and my 3 kids have had a blast!What a wonderful toy to have on hand for yucky, rainy days when the kids are driving you batty.The set-up is really simple, and it really does keep them entertained for hours.It's great for them to have friends over and have something fun to do.We've used it indoors and will probably take it outdoors when the weather improves.It seemed really expensive to me at the time, but now I'm glad we spent the money.It's worth it!

Great Bounce 'Round
This Bounce 'Round just made my child's day.There is nothing better!

If anyone is curious about the bounce letting out air, it is designed to do that, which is why it comes with the continuous air blowing fan.If it didn't release air at the seams, it would pop like a balloon and wouldn't be too much fun to bounce on! ... Read more

It's just like Murray's guitar.
This musical red instrument looks just like Murray's guitar from Playhouse Disney and Wiggly movies.

It plays different songs whenever you press their button and sing along with the Wiggles' voices recorded.That's why I love it a lot.

You can "Play your Guitar with Murray" any time.

My little musicians love this guitar...
This is a complete crowd pleaser.My boys are HUGE fans of the WIGGLES and they each receieved this guitar as a gift when they were about 3 years old and it's still on their Top 10 list of "favorite toys in the house"!It really has helped them (not that they really needed the help) to come out of their shells and take on a role of entertaining friends and family that come to visit.The guitars are very durable as I've seen them used in my household as a bat and weapon (yikes!) -- nothing has broken yet!There are quite a few of their favorite songs on it and the same buttons keep being used over and over again.If you can stand the repetition of the music and noise I suggest this for the little music lovers in your house.

Gotta Get Another One
I bought this toy for my 20 month old son for Christmas, and he loves it!!!! The only problem that I have now is that I have to go out and buy another one for my four year old so that the "It's mine" "it's mine" fights will stop.This was the favorite gift under the tree and I thought my four year was too big for it.SHE LOVES IT, TOO!!It has good sound quality, it is durable (already taking a beating in the tug of war), it is just the right size, and all around a great toy.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! ...

Editorial Review

With a remote control that is simple to master, this two-speed airplane is perfect as a first radio-controlled toy. The Resistor takes off from its own computer-operated launch pad with a single press of the Launch button from the remote. A large toggle button moves the plane either left or right as the plane hits scale speeds of up to 400 mph and flies up to 300 feet away. For quick speed, a Thrust button on the remote gives it a 25-percent extra power boost, and for a smooth, even landing, a Land button brings the Resistor down safely. Except for a few hard plastic components that house the engine, this lightweight plane is made almost entirely of Styrofoam, which damages easily if it hits obstacles so it's best to practice flying in open, treeless areas. This toy requires six C batteries for the charger and one 9-volt battery for the plane itself and requires only a three-minute charge in the docking station before it's ready to fly. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

must have
this is my third year buying an airhog plane. I went from the small hand held chargeres to this plain. downside - not for young children, my son is 5 and loves the plane but he can not fly it, he loves to watch and chase it. you can not fly this or any other air hog in a strong wind. I recently had one fly away and lost it in the wind. only fly it in the summer with a light breeze but once you get the hang of it, it is alot of fun. they say fly it in a open field, good suggestion but I dont, I fly it in my front yard and between the houses and been doing ok. this is my second resistor, the first finally broke at the end of the summer but got the whole season out of it before it finally broke. I estimate I flew it about 200 times before the wing broke. once you tape it it never flies the same.

WORST WASTE OF FIFTY DOLLARS
I got 50 $ for my birthday and I really wanted a R/C plane, so I bought this thing. Big mistake. First time I tried it was too windy, and part of the tail wing broke off. Second time, there was almost 0 breeze and it took off, but then did half a U turn crashing into the ground. Now I have a "plane" if thats what you'd like to call it sitting next to me with part of it's tail wing off and white spots all over from chipped paint. DO NOT BUY THIS THING

Great Beginner R/C Airplane
After reading some negative reviews, I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this airplane, but when I found one on sale, I had to find out for myself whether these reviews were accurate or not. This airplane was almost too easy to fly! I did crash it the first time,(no damage)but after that, it was almost flying by itself. As long as you follow the INSTRUCTIONS, you shouldn't have any problems. I took it to the largest grassy field I could find and off it went. Since I had owned another toy R/C airplane before, (which I had destroyed just learning to fly) I started with the #2 setting (advanced). The airplane was almost too responsive, making sharp turns and climbing continuously (I didn't have to touch the thrust button once). I switched to the #1 setting (beginner) and the airplane was much easier to fly. The only thing about this setting is that when the airplane was flying into the wind, it seemed like it was standing still in mid air. The landing button didn't seem to be very effective, as the airplane would not descend until it was runnning out of batteries. But with a flying time of about 3 minutes, I didn't care much anyway. Once I could tell the battery was starting to drain, I was able to maneuver it for a soft landing in front of me. This airplane is indeed a lot of fun, and I played with it for an hour before realizing how long I had been out there. If you're looking for negatives, the flight time is indeed short (3 minutes), but the charge time is short as well (3 minutes also). It's a light airplane, which means it won't perform too well if there's anything more than a light breeze. Even though the box says "Flies at up to 400mph scale speed", don't let this statement fool you. Compared to other R/C airplanes I have seen, the Resistor is SLOW, which is actually a positive for beginners. Be careful with the airplane's antenna! It's a long thin coil sticking out of the tail. I almost thought I had ripped it off when I stepped on it as I was picking up the airplane, but I didn't, which was a blessing since the instructions stated that if the coil is ripped, the airplane won't be able to receive signals from the remote control. The airplane is indeed mostly made of foam, but it's much sturdier than the previous airplane I had owned. There was absolutely zero damage after flying it for an hour (my previous airplane would loose a section every time I crashed it!). Overall, the Resistor is a fun, great airplane! I would recommend it as long as you keep in mind that it is a TOY and not an advanced R/C airplane. ... Read more

My son is in love with Spider man!
He really is, I think its because spider-man is a "guy" thing, and he is a twin, b/g, 3 years old. My twins tend to like to have their own thing. We have this pull out sofa in the den, so they can watch t.v closer or just nap on it or sit on it. He enjoys jumping on it and my 8 month old twin boys like to crawl on it and "pull-up on it". It is sturdy, and its just foam so it couldnt really be harmful. Its very cute and very easy to move (kitchen to upstairs to den to basement...) and we even have a few more spider-man chairs, but none of them are better than, the spider-man futon (thats what my son called it after hearing mommy and daddy say it). It is very cute and a nice couch for your little one to call thier own!

LOVE IT!
MY SON LOVE THIS SOFA, I HAVE A 3 YR OLD AND HE RECEIVED THIS AS A GIFT.IT IS PERFECT FOR HIM.MY DAUGHTER WHO IS 7 YRS OLD SIT WITH HIM TOO. I THINK SHE IS TO BIG FOR IT, BUT SHE SEEMS TO FIT JUST AS WELL.I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, THE SOFA HAS NICE COLORS AND IT IS EASY TO CLEAN AND A GREAT ADDITION TO YOU LITTLE ONES SPIDERMAN COLLECTION. MY SON OPEN IT UP AND LAY DOWN AND FOLDS IT UP ALL BY HISSELF.

Should be listed as a love-seat or large chair. It is way too small for two kids to sit comfortably. ... Read more

Extremley Fun, But A Little Messy
I'm thirteen and my little sister plays with her catch a bubble thing, all the time.It's great because it lasts longer and doesn't spill like regular bubbles.However, if your child catches a bubble and squishes it in his/her hands it is very messy, kind of like glue.If it does spill, it's hard to wash out of rugs, but easy to wipe of hard surfaces.Overall I say buy this product, but be prepared for a little mess. :)

the best bubbles there ever were...THEY DON'T EVEN SPILL!!!
we are bubble experts in our house and these are the best we've seen yet. there are other bubbles on the market that don't pop easily (for catching, stacking, etc) but this comes with an immeasurable advantage: a plastic seal that you can push the blower through but keeps the liquid from spilling... like the top to a fast food beverage...that kind, but more sturdy. My 4,3 and 1 year old can play with bubbles for hours, but most bubbles don't last that long because they inevitably spill or get dropped and the bubble solution comes flooding out and its all gone. these dont spill!!
sooooo....
1) they don't spill
2)the container is huge and more than enough for multiple plays and/or lots of kids to share
3) the bubbles themselves are THE BEST and don't pop easily


its true they get a little stickier than your run-of-the-mill bubbles...but my kids use them in the garage or outside (maybe the kitchen if its bad weather) and its fine. the ones we did get on stuff (the computer, table, rugs, books, etc) cleaned up easily...so it wasn't a big deal when they did land on objects inside.
my daughter got a 5-pack for her birthday and i'm online today to buy more all our friends' birthdays!!

pretty cool
I bought this toy a long time ago and have really enjoyed it.The bubbles have to float in the air for a little bit before you can catch them without popping(I guess the liquid has to dry), but other than that, it's pretty cool!I was blowing the bubbles in the garage once, and the next day, the bubbles were still on the ground un-popped! ...

Great buy!!!
We bought the Dora Explorer couch for our 4 year old daughter 3 years ago, and she still sits on it for movie night and Saturday morning cartoons.My only complaint is that this thing is a major pain to take the fabric off and back on to wash it.It does clean up nice but trying to get the foam back in the fabric is a two man job.I febreeze the foam when I take the fabric off as well so it stays fresh.We are buying one for our 8 month old too!

Tigger
I let my 18month old pick out the one she wanted and she picked the Tigger one and absolutly Loves it!! - it stays in her playroom but in the mornings while she is watching cartoons she goes and draggs it out to the livingroom and lays with her babydolls and blankets.

Perfect little two-seater
This is a lifesaver for us with two toddler girls who are ALWAYS fighting for their spot on the single toddler chair we bought last year. This double little sofa is simply perfect for two.It is easy to tuck away in any room, fold and opens in a jiffy, and the zippered Princess Disney cover allows for gentle washings.
My one criticism is that there should be some kind of plastic film under the cotton cover so that if (and WHEN) stains and spills happen, it does not seep into the foam where it becomes a permanent part of the seat.After we had a little fruit juice spill, we cleaned the cover and patted the foam cushion, but the stubborn sweet smell just wouldn't go away.
I also find this to be a bit pricey, especially once you tack on the s/h handling fee, so it's better to pick one up in-store where the selection of characters abound.
All in all a great little toddler accessory. ... Read more

Good clean fun!
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter (b/c a friend had it and her son loved it). She loves it! It has four "coloring sheets" and a water pen with a soft "marker" tip that you fill with water. My daughter loves this!!! She "colors" with the water pen and color appears on the page. When she is done it dries and is ready to be colored on again. The color does not come off and the only "mess" that could happen would be the water from the pen (a very small amount)and she has not been able to get the pen apart. This is great for traveling, church, or any time they need to be entertained quietly and mess free!!! ... Read more

Comfy and Fun
My two year old daughter has loved this couch since she was 18 months old.She likes to sit on it to watch TV, eat snacks and read.She loves to fold it out to make room for her dolls and stuffed animals.She gets in it and folds it over herself to hide.You can remove the cover to wash it which I have done twice and it seems to be holding up pretty well - although it is a lot of work to get it back together correctly once you have disassembled it for cleaning.We decided on the Winnie-the-Pooh design because Pooh never goes out of style.

My kid's love these!
I have 3 children ages 6, 4 and 2. Last year I bought a Spongebob couch for my oldest and a Princess for my 4 year old. My 2 year old loved it so much that we went and bought him one too. We now also have a Spiderman one. They're a big hit in our house. The kids love to sit on them to watch TV of play video games, read books, play with the leap pad or lay on them for slumber parties and nap time. I recommend them all the time to people looking for cool gifts for kids.

Worth the price
I did A LOT of searching for a chair or couch for my daughter (16 months) & ended up with this one. We've only had it for two months or so but it's been such a big hit with her. I definitely think it's worth it for the money. I mean, look at PBK's Anywhere Chair...same concept (all foam) but more than 3 times the price. We've had no major accidents so far, so ours still looks great. The foam is sturdy enough, as far as foam goes but it's not something that will last forever. Still, even if it gets thrashed, for $30 I'm not going to sweat it. It was a great "investment" for us. ... Read more

Cool toy
I picked this up for my 22 month old son on clearence for $7.50 at a KB toy store in our mall.He loves it.Plays with it everyday.Thank goodness for the 3 different volume settings because he takes it everywhere.I think it was the best $7.40 I ever spent. He has been a little slow on his talking but this has him singing the words all day.I have to admit that the on and off switch is a bit frustrating for him because of it's location.But he is learning to deal with it.

on/off button is a turn off!!!
My 17 month old loves the Wiggles, so I thought the microphone would be perfect. But whoever designed this toy really wasn't thinking and I can't believe it made it to the assembly line this way.The ON/OFF botton is right where you hold it. My daughter is consently turning it off by accident and gets very frustrated. I will say it is durable, she has thrown it a million times and it has held up. I also bought her the guitar, I would give that 5 stars and suggest it instead of the microphone.

fun, fun,fun!!!!!
We just got this toy for my son, who is 16 months old. It was on Clearance at Walmart, for only 7 bucks so I thought why not? I am SO happy I purchased it I would have paid full price in a heart beat. I agree with some other reviews that the "pattern" for the buttons can be a little tricky, but my son loves it. There are several songs in it and you can either sing along with it, not sing at all or sing without the songs. And for the parents sake, there is 3 volume controls!!! Love that one.
Overall is a great toy, and it stands on its own too. A great buy for lots of fun. ... Read more

My daughter loves the sofa!
I got the sofa for my 18 month old daughter to take down the shore. She loves it, especially because it's Winnie The Pooh. She unfolds it by herself and just gets right in. She lays there and watches all her show on TV and then goes to sleep on it. Her aunt would love to get one so when she stays over her house she will enjoy sleeping and watching TV. It was worth the money I'm very happy with the product.

My Toddler Loves This Sofa
I got this sofa for my 14-month-old daughter at Christmas, and she just loves it. She sits on it to read books, and she flips it open herself and lays on it. She also sits on it to watch Sesame Street, which keeps her at a safe distance from the TV. I haven't had to wash it yet, so I can't speak for its durability and colorfastness. All in all, she loves the sofa, and it was worth the investment.

Excellent!
My daughter got this when we went to visit her grandmother. None of the stores had Dora the Explorer (her favorite) in stock, but this one was just as cute and she likes Pooh also so I thought she would like it. It's even better than I expected.There is a little blanket that zips around the sides and the bottom leaving room at the top for you to fold the blanket down away from the face. You can also unzip the blanket and take it all the way off. The colors are vibrant and the pictures are cute, but the most important thing is the comfort level. As soon as I unfolded this, my daughter crawled right in and went to sleep. This is her second night in it and she fell asleep again with no problem, which is very unusual for her. It can take hours to get her to sleep but this works for her better than anything else has. I'm very pleased with it.

Some things to consider before buying:
The bed folds out so that the seat and back cushion rest on the floor so make sure you use it in an area where it won't get dirty, dusty or linty. Also, make sure you check the measurements because there may not be enough leg room for taller children. The bed is low to the ground, so they may still be comfortable if their feet stretch to the floor (my daughter doesn't mind a bit) but you might want to check that. There is a picture of 2 kids sitting together, but I don't think there's enough room for 2 to sleep comfortably. I would only plan to use the bed for one child at a time. ... Read more

My 15mnth old LOVES this little couch. She can get on and off of it. She wants nothing to do with our big couch, which is greeat because it was high up and dangerous. Shes always on hers now. She even learned how to flip it out! Which is good when she wants to take a nap. We have a 2 story. bedrooms are upstairs and downstairs is all tile, so its nice she has somewhere to lay when she gets tired!It's made out of foam, and so its light to carry around/move. ...

Disney Princess chair
While this seat is very pretty and fun to look at, children are drawn to it, the downside is that it tips over.Please be very careful when you permit your child to sit in this chair.They could fall backwards!

A lifesaver!
We purchased this chair for my son for Christmas because he is a Sesame Street and Elmo fanatic.He absoultely loved it from the minute he unrapped it!The chair is perfect for him!As for the other erviews of it being easily tipped over, we also have a plastic toddler chair (kinda looks like a lawn chair) which is higher up off the ground than this one.He has tipped over in that just by leaning over.He also has 2 chairs at my mothers house, one rocking chair and one wooden chair both about the same height as this one.He also can tip those over just by leaning over.At least this one is extremly cushy if he falls and bangs his nead on it.Also, he comes down with bronchiolitis all of the time, and needs to sleep in an almost upright position.We found that by him sitting in this chair, a few inches away from the couch, that he could lean back just enough to sleep comfortably, but not cough, and he didn't fall over once, and it still retains it's shape.As with any furniture or toy for small children, it needs to be used under adult supervision.We have had no problems with it and hope that it will last long enough for our baby on the way to be able to use it.

THE MOST FLIMSY CHAIR I HAVE EVER SEEN
This chair topples very easily and is very dangerous for any child.Our child has fallen out of it just by leaning over.I guess it is the old, but true attage that you get what you pay for in life.This would be better as a stuffed animal.I am returning this chair it is horrible and not suited for any child at any age. ...

Amazingly durable toy!
Our two-year-old has driven this car off of tables, chairs, you name it and it continues to hold up!In fact, if the car lands upright, The Wiggles start singing away and the car moves, even after a big fall.The song gets annoying after a while -- but then, if you're used to The Wiggles like we are, it's not that big a deal.Our son loves this car and uses it just about every day.A real hit!

I am buying another! My son wore it out!
Santa bought this for my 2 year old Wiggle's fan and he played with it every day 24 hours a day. So much that my husband has taken it apart a few times and fixed it after it was thrown in the kiddie pool and played with non-stop. I am online now buying another after a year. He simply wore it out. I think it is the cutest thing. Only complaint is that over the year, the sound stopped, then started up again and at one point the car stopped moving, only to play the song, but mysteriously fixed itself. Overall. My kid LOVED it!

Great for the littlest Wiggles Fan
My son is only 16 months old, but LOVES this car.It's simple enough for him to do by himself, and does not have any small parts that could be a hazard.The second he saw it, his eyes lit up as he recognized his favorite friends. I would recommend changing the batteries that come with it.Within 3 days after getting it, the car started slowing down, and when I replaced the batteries, it worked better then it did when we got it.Moved much faster - on every surface.An absolute MUST for your Wiggles fan! ...
