My favorite baby shower gift!
I received this warmer as a shower gift, and it is definitely my favorite present! My baby is 3 months old and I started bottle feeding once I went back to work a month ago. This warmer saves me from having to go downstairs to warm a bottle in the middle of the night. She is only taking 4 oz. right now, so it heats her bottles in just 2 minutes. I highly recommend it to anyone who bottle feeds.The only negative thing I can say about it is that the ice pack that comes with the warmer thaws too quickly. It's just a plastic container that you fill with water and freeze. I use a different ice pack in the cooler to keep the bottle cold all night. | 1positive

Old Diapers- same Price
I have always ordered diapers from Amazon...The past 2 times, the diapers have been old and sticking together (apparently from heat)....Upset at the lack of quality these days! | 0negative

Wasted time and money!
I bought this mobile 2 weeks ago. At first it was cute and worked great. Then we were browsing the cable menu on our TV, and noticed that when certain buttons on the remote were pressed, the mobile would turn on and off. That was annoying, but we could deal with it. Then two days ago, we turned it on and it wouldn't spin. We threw the box away the day before, so now we're not sure if they'll take it back. We're not made of money, so if they don't take it back, my boy will be without a mobile. With this many bad reviews, why hasn't this company improved their product? I'm going to boycott all their products if the issue isn't resolved. | 0negative

Best Monitor on the Market!
After trying several monitors which only produced static, this is a dream! I can here my baby breath as he sleeps! Like any monitor it has some static around a cell phone, but only very minor. Otherwise - this truly is a Crystal Clear monitor! | 1positive

Perfect for a Little Mommy
My 3 year old daughter got this for Christmas and she LOVES it! Great addition to her collection of baby doll stuff! She uses it for all her babies - Chou Chou and others. She espcially liked this bag because she remembers the diaper backpack I used when she was in diapers! Great toy! | 1positive

Poor performance. Check Consumer Reports for Many Better.
This was our first baby monitor, so if I didn't have to replace it when it stopped working after six weeks, I never would have known that there are better ones for the same price or less.Compared to the Sony we're now using, this unit had much more interference, much poorer sound and shorter battery life. Never mind that this unit just flat-out stopped working after six weeks.Check consumer report's website. | 0negative

Buy something else!
Ugh. Great idea. But it is a pain in the *** to use! Doesn't work right - you twist and twist and it gets jammed in the top, or doesn't twist the diaper. You have to stick your hands in the diaper mess to get the diaper down low enough to twist off. I got this as a gift - good thing I didn't buy it myself or I'd be back at the store raising hell. | 0negative

no bargins here
the cost of these diapers are way more than you would pay at any local retailer or national chain...then to use a coupon on top of that...wow what a difference. Save your money and shipping costs and go to Target. Do price per diaper comparisons and you would be surprised how much diapers cost and how to save money!! | 0negative

I wouldn't use cloth diapers if not for these liners!
There are lots of liners for cloth diapering out there, but this is the only one I know of that is washable. I can wash them about 4-5 times before they start to fall apart. If you are using cloth to save money, then this is the way to go. | 1positive

size?
I think it is OK. I have two problems.1. My daughter is 22 lb. But it look like size 5 is tight for her. She is around 50% weight and 70% high.2. some white things fall down and stick aroung assl. | 1positive

NOT Worth It!
Don't buy this stroller. The only good thing about it is that you won't be sad if you leave it somewhere. The "restraints" don't restrain at all. My one year old twins barely stay in it so when we're in a store they can reach very far to pull down all sorts of things. (not safe) The stroller barely fits through regular door ways - and I mean barely fits. It does not maneuver well at all and is difficult to stear. The "adult drink cup holder" snaps off when struggling to go through doors and I don't have to describe what a mess that is. I'm just lucky I don't drink hot coffee; otherwise I would be suing the manufacturer for burns to the children. There is no storage. The "saddle bags" can hold a few small things but you should only use it for things you don't mind the children being able to reach. This stroller is not only a nuisance, it has potentially dangerous features, so please don't buy it. | 0negative

Fits Perfect
Love this diaper depot! I have a changing table that is on top of a dresser and this gives me more room with the wipe warmer and diapers! I love it! Love the removable sides too! | 1positive

DOES NOT WORK
We have the Baby Papasan Cradle Swing which is an excellent product. My wife and I thought we would purchase one of these as well since it plugs in and looks to be almost the same as the Papasan swing. Hmm, well it isn't at all the same. The design is acually an improvement as the swing is much more stable. The seat is not fully inclosed in plastic like the Papasan swing so the baby seems to be a bit more comfortable as the seat adjusts to the baby's weight. The swing is also brightly colored and the mobile portion is very cute. So far so good right?The swing seems to be great. . . until you turn it on. It just does not swing. There may as well be one speed as the device BARELY moves at all. Even with the nothing in the swing, it barely rotates at all and simply does not function. Also, the music is not very calming and you cannot adjust which song you would like to hear. Instead, it cycles through all the songs in order therefore, you always HAVE to hear the same songs.I am not sure if the swing that we received was broken and that caused all of the problems with this device since I am the first one to review this product. If you do deceide to purchase this swing, just make sure that you can return it in case it is a problem with the swing. | 0negative

4 pc. bumper by Wendy B--a must have!
I purchased a Wendy B crib set for my son(now 15 mos. old) before she affiliated with BRU. Obviously I paid way more at the specialty store where I bought it. I have now chosen this set for my baby girl due in June. The most awesome thing about her sets is the 4 pc. slipcovered bumpers. I have looked everywhere and cannot find any other manufacturer who offers this. So the colors aren't EXACTLY what I was hoping for--so what! You need to think more about the functionality of your choices for baby's nursery more than the cosmetics, especially with more than one child. You may not appreciate it until your baby has their first bout with a stomach virus--some of you know what I mean! It is so convenient to be able to unzip the slipcovers off the bumper and throw them in the washer & dryer without ruining your entire crib bumper. It's also great if you need to wash only one section. Also, when your child gets too tall for a bumper, you can simply remove the section(s) where they could use it to climb out. My son is huge for 15 mos. and loves to use the 3 sections of the bumper still in his crib as pillows to lay on. The quality is excellent and this set will outlast the time your child is in the crib. If you don't like the feel of the sheet, go out and buy some extra sheets that coordinate with the set (that's what I did the first time). I feel there is no better choice than Wendy B. and we're lucky they're readily available at BRU vs. paying boutique pricing! | 1positive

Worthless
This product has basically no volume. It can not drown out even the softest of sounds. All of the bird sounds come across as really fake. You can only combine the left side sounds with the right side sounds. So unless you are going to mix in a fake bird sound, you are not going to get the sound you desire. We toyed with ours for less than a minute, boxed it back up and got online to request the return. Try conair. A much better product. | 0negative

Good monitor but maybe not necessary if you have a small home
I returned my video monitor even though it seemed to work fine. I wanted this at first thinking I would need it with my child, but so far (in 6 months) I have not really needed the video component and so never set the monitor up. We have a small house, so I can hear her really well from just about anywhere in the house. I also leave her nursery room door open enough to be able to peek in - it is just not necessary to have the video monitor. I also realized that since I would primarily be using it at night, the room would be dark, and the monitor does not seem to work nearly as well in the dark, so it would not be that useful to me. I have heard it is an advantage if your child is a realy noisy sleeper and you are bothered by hearing the sleep noises - you can then just visually check on your child without having to wonder what the noises are. But, from my experience, even when she makes noises at night you learn to tell the difference between sleep and awake noises pretty fast, so I think an audio monitor (a 20-30.00 one) would be totally sufficient.Now that my infant is rolling over at night, I am actually a lot more worried about her breathing and getting her face trapped than I was when she was littler, so I am getting the AngelCare monitor that assesses breathing and sounds an alarm if they stop breathing. I plan to use that one with any future children as well when they are newborns. It is cheaper than the video monitor and comes with an audio component as well.I think it's nice to have a monitor but if you have your child close to you in your house (like when ours was a newborn we usually had her sleeping near us in various rooms), or have a small house, or have your child in your room with you at night (ours has slept in a port-a-crib for 6 months in our room), then a fancy video monitor is not really necessary. I'll post a review on the AngelCare monitor once we get that set up and working. | 1positive

METAL GATE with PLASTIC HINGES
I did not realize so many bad reviews before i bought it. Nice looking METAL GATE (heavy) with PLASTIC HINGES... it last a few days. Now I have to get new hinges ... but not sure where. I usually read reviews, this time I did not and I feel sorry I didn't. | 0negative

Sturdy, comfy, pretty
I didn't want to spend a lot on a glider so I went with this one. I believe I made a great choice! It's super comfortable, nice looking, quiet, and not so large. We have a smaller nursery so it's nice to have a smaller glider. I'm a huge fan. All night feedings and story readings happen in this chair, so there are books and burg cloths in the pockets. The footrest also glides so your body is ultimately comfortable. | 1positive

NOT FOR BOYS
I got this for my 20 month old son. When he tries to use it he ends up peeing on the floor. What they call a pee shield doesn't shield! I thought it would be great seeings he like to flush the toilet. Works great for girls though. | 0negative

Great drying rack
I'm a first time mom, but I'm sold on this drying rack. I've been cleaning down hand-me-down bottles all day and used this drying rack to full capacity. I was amazed at all the bottles and nipples and bottle pieces that I could pile on the rack. Definately a good buy! | 1positive

A must have!
This is a fantastic space saving product. I love that you can adjust the shelves to accommodate different height jars and I love that you can tuck it in the cabinet and have all your baby food organized and ready to pluck off the shelf! The only thing potential purchasers should know is that it does not rotate, despite the fact that it is circular. I highly recommend!! | 1positive

Not approved by public safety officials!
We bought a car seat protector like this (don't think it was this brand) and took it along with our infant car seat carrier to the local police station, since we've read that 70-80% of car seats are improperly installed. The officer who installed the seat would not use it, saying that after-market products like this are absolutely not recommended. The only thing that passes muster with public safety folks, apparently, is a piece of rug pad, which helps the base grip the seat in addition to providing some protection of the upholstery. Doesn't look great, but it's better than thinking you've installed your seat securely when in fact it isn't safe! | 0negative

I would not recommend this at all
This product was a complete waste of money. The latch kept coming undone, and my daughter actually managed to pull the device entirely off the oven because the adhesive wasn't strong enough to withstand the heat of the oven. Very poor product overall - glad I only paid $3 for it. | 0negative

About As Useful As A Paper Bag!
I just bought this last week and it didn't even hold up for the first leg of our flight!! I received it at the gate and it was torn from one end to the other along the seam. It was completely unusable after that. I read the other reviews and figured it might be a gamble....glad I only paid $12 for it! Not worth your effort, try another brand. | 0negative

Boring for Babies - Would be Great Idea for Adults
I put the papasan on my baby registry after looking at all the bouncers in the store b/c it looked so comfortable. But naively I was only thinking in terms of my own non-baby experience, and mistakenly thought my baby would love how soft it is. I was majorly wrong. My daughter is 3 months old & she has never been interested in this & will wake up and cry even if i put her in while she's sleeping. I'm taking it back to the store & buying a regular bouncer. I would recommend that instead of the papasan. | 0negative

scratchy
I bought both this sheet and the knit ones for my daughter's delta portable crib. I have thrown this one out as it shrunk, is very scratchy, and gives my daughter a rash every time. If you have a portable crib, get the knit sheets | 0negative

Love this stroller!
After much research and contemplation I decided on the Twin Swift and love it! I thought I was sold on a Maclaren Techno but after trying one out found it to be on the heavy side and difficult to fold-up. This stroller is lighter, folds up easily and steers like a dream- not too mention much more financially feasible. I have 8 month old twins and they sit comfortably and love to be able to look out and at each other. A stroller that is easy to use and comfortable can make or break your outing. I look for reasons to go out and use my Twin Swift!! | 1positive

Love This Bag...Fits Dr. Brown's!!!!
So when my daughter went to 4.5 oz in her bottles, we upgraded to the tall Dr Brown bottles which were too tall for the bottle bag I was using. I was in the market already because I wanted a bag with a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry the bottles and the carrier into daycare.I was nervous that this bag wasn't tall enough because of the extra 1/2 inch or so on Dr Brown bottles for the inserts. Woo hoo!!!! I love this bag. I can fit the 4 tall bottles and an ice pack with no problems. I know the description states 6 bottles, which is true but with no ice pack. This didn't bother me because I only carry 4 bottles at a time for daycare. It is simple looking, easy to clean and the shoulder strap is great!!!We recently went out of town overnight and the hotel did not have a fridge, I used this bag to hold my bottles and wrapped an ice pack sheet and had no problems. This was so much better than lugging around an ice cooler. I would definately buy this again, especially at this price, it's a no-brainer. | 1positive

Worst seat EVER
This seat is a waste of money. DO NOT PURCHASE! The handle on it protrudes into the seat in front of it. I've tried it in many different vehicles including a Buick with the front seat all the way up, and still had the same problem. Evenflo refused to refund my money or even apologize! Check the recalls online. STEER CLEAR!!!!! | 0negative

Useful Alternative
As I have already written a real review for this item stating how displeased I was with it's compatability with Graco products I won't go any further with that.What I did want to let people know is that Graco has just come out with a new product called the Snug Rider. It is an alternative to the snap n go that is made specifically for Graco products. I LOVE IT. I am so impressed with how sturdy it is. Please people, if you own a Graco snugride consider this before the snap n go. Trust me you will llove it too. I can pick up the whole system from the one handle and not feel as though my baby is going to fall. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the product on the Babies R Us website. They are carrying it in stores though. Good Luck :) | 0negative

TERRIBLE
My wife and I received this chair as a gift for our baby shower. It is a comfortable chair, but that is where my good thoughts end. Within about 2 weeks of use, the wood started to make creeking noises. Noises so loud that it was annoying to watch television while using the chair. Also, the bearings in the actual gliding mechanism were no longer smooth. We are very frustrated!! Especially when we tried to return the chair. NOBODY GOT BACK TO US. Knowing that mostly these chairs are bought for expecting mothers, you would think that the Shermag company or anyone who sells it would want to BACK it. At this point, I am not sure it is safe enough to use while holding a baby. Don't waste your money. Spend $500 to $600 on a chair at a quality furniture store, it will most likely last a lot longer. REMEMBER.... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! | 0negative

A fantastic space saver!
With all the bottles, nipples, caps and accessories every newborn parent has - you'll find this spinning drying rack a must. It's affordable and it doesn't take up a lot of space. It's extremely easy to put together and very convenient to use. The spinning feature is a plus - no longer do you have to pick up an entire bottle rack and turn it... you can simply spin and drop a (very hot) newly washed bottle onto a mini pole.Mine succesfully holds all of my things. If I run out of poles, I simply place the bottles upside down in the center of the spinning rack. This, combined with a bottle brush, has made washing bottles a breeze. | 1positive

Product unsuitable for older handicapped children
The wrist tags which are an essential component are only designed to fit a young child (perhaps up to 10-12?) and will not fit on the wrist of an older handicapped child. The product description makes no mention of this limitation. | 0negative

Cheap zippers
I ordered 2 halo sleep sack swaddles off amazon, so I could always have ready while the other was in the wash. I've only had them one month and the zippers have already broken on both sleep sacks. This is really disappointing as I don't have the money to be buying 2 new sleep sacks every month. | 0negative

Dissapointed
I was dissapointed when I got the bed rail only because it doesn't go all the way down and it is kind of dangerous to have it in a down position, I still use it but it is up all the time and it is on the way to make the bed, I would NOT recomended. | 0negative

Definitely worth it
I had read reviews and gotten interested in this product while pregnant, then had my baby four weeks early. She has been fairly fussy, and I had tried my mom's old snuggli baby carrier, but with a birth weight just over 4 pounds, the carrier was just huge on her. I decided to go ahead and buy this product off of our registry, since we had not yet received it as a gift. I so wish we had made the purchase within that first week or two of her birth, rather than waiting until she was five weeks old.She slept fabulously as soon as I put it on, and then had two of her longest stretches between feedings. I skimmed the instruction manual before putting it on--but the wrapping and putting baby in the carrier was so much easier than I had anticipated. I had it on for the first time, and had my baby in it, within less than ten minutes! Within just a few hours of having it, my husband said it was definitely worth it. He has not yet used the moby wrap, but is looking forward to trying it out sometime soon. I love holding my baby so securely, and also having the option of being hands-free to do some household chores as well!I would have given five stars except for the cost (fairly high for basically a long length of knit fabric), although I have to acknowledge that the instruction manual and knowledge of how to wrap is worth something in itself.I love the moss color--very pretty, and great for boys or girls! | 1positive

Doesn't Leak, Easy to Clean
When I first saw this, I was sure that it would leak, but it just seemed like such an innovative idea that I bought one anyway. The bottle is incredibly easy to clean because both ends can be removed.I unscrewed the nipple ring and the bottom of the bottle. I was so sure that it would leak if I put anything liquid in it. I filled the bottle full of water and tossed it around on a white sheet to see if it leaked. It didn't, but I still wasn't sure. So, I washed the bottle in hot water. I've noticed that some bottles leak after being washed. Then, I tried the sheet experiment again. It didn't leak. This bottle is 9 months old and still hasn't leaked.I also liked how these bottles were wide and took similar nipples as the disposable bottles from Playtex, which makes switching back and forth from the Playtex disposable and reusable bottles much easier and causes less nipple confusion. | 1positive

Pacifies parents, not babies
This product, IMO, is a waste of money. I bought this when my baby was ~1 month old and VERY colicky. I found myself horrified that newborns are not nearly as easy and fun to care for as I in my delusional first-time pregnant state imagined them to be, and equally horrified that COLIC does not neccasarily have anything to do with gas, does not always respond to gas drops, and sits back and laughs at the suggestions in "Happiest Baby on the Block" (another great bit of bunk for first time parents)My baby wanted to be held and nursed all the time and if he wasn't being held or nursed during the day, he cried. I thought this was a problem that needed a solution. Turns out that's just how some babies are.When I got this, it didn't come with the "silky" - but I am laughing at the idea of it. You don't need to BUY something special for your child to have your scent near him. And I am not convinced that this current practice of selling new parents something with which to give their baby a bit bit of the parents' scent has any basis in fact. I just can't wrap my head around its being useful. Your baby loves your scent because he loves YOU. He's not stupid enough to think a scrap of material that kind of smells like you is the same thing.Anyway... the heartbeat function of this bear was useless. I tried really, really hard at first to make myself think it was doing SOMETHING. The first time I used it, I had it out of the bear, had the baby in the Bjorn on my chest, facing me... strapped the heartbeat box to the Bjorn, danced around with the baby, he fell asleep... it was working!!! I thought. But I really don't think it was. I think my baby was just happy to be near me because I was never able to repeat the experiment - and believe me, I tried. I attached to ti his car seat. To his stroller. To the Bjorn again. Put it in the bear and next to him in his cradle. Never made a difference. He was fussy or not, depending on his whims and nothing else.I give this item two stars because at least the bear is adorable. Very cute, very soft, very squishy (if you take the hard plastic heartbeat box out). At 19 months my baby has JUST started to get attached to stuffed toys and he really likes the bear. He has a duck, a baby doll, and this bear that he likes to have in his crib. But given that all this item has ended up being useful for is a stuffed animal, I don't think it's worth it.This is just another product preying on the insecuritues and pocket books of new parents. Caring for a newborn is HARD. If you are reading this and thinking there is some nifty modern gadget that will make it a breeze, WAKE UP. Do not spend your money. Your baby wants to be nursed and cuddled and held and rocked and talked to and sung to. Your baby wants YOU. It is not easy. At times it will seem like sheer hell. But that's the way it goes. It passes. Save your money, give your baby the gift of yourself, and someday, with or without modern gadgets, you will look back on these days and actually... sort of... miss them. | 0negative

STINK CITY
I thought that this would be much better then the diaper geanie, but it is horrible. My baby is only 2 months old and the diaper champ smells so bad we had to put it outside. I would not recommend this product for anyone who likes to have their nursery smell good. If you don't mind a smelly nursery...go for it. | 0negative

DO NOT BUY
I was for 6 months with Pampers Swaddlers DRY MAX. They are amazing, we never have had any issues (leaking). Then, we changed to Pamper DRY and in the first night my baby wet all his bed. We immediately changed back to the DRY MAX. Do not waste your money on this one. | 0negative

Not impressed with odor control
When my son was a newborn, we used these diapers since we had been given some as a gift. We were happy with them, but when it came time to purchase them, he was a size 2 (at about 10 weeks) and our budget wouldn't allow us to buy these diapers, so we got Target's "Up & Up" brand. These worked just fine and never had any issues with them.We got a coupon for 30% off if we subscribed and that made the price the same as the Target diapers, and since we were pleased with them in NB size, we thought we'd go ahead and get the bargain priced Pampers with Dry Max.While they definitely have a slimmer profile, it seemed that this made it harder to hold the pee in.First night, his clothes were wet in the morning (slept through the night, about 7 hours) due to the swollen diaper pulling away from his body, allowing the pee to escape. When changing him that morning, I noted how strong a smell of urine he had. (The Target diapers never seemed to emanate such an odor) I figured it was just a lot of pee that night.Over the next few days, I couldn't help but notice that my son always smelled like pee. It seems that, even though the Dry Max may hold a decent amount of urine for such a slim diaper, the drawback is that the gel seems to magnify the urine odor.I don't want my kid to be the kid who smells like pee :) so I am going to switch back to Target after these run out, even though the subscription brings the price to almost the same. | 0negative

Best thing I bought for baby #2
This is my second child, so I am no amateur at this, and I must say, this was the best purchase I made. My baby is 12 months old now and we still use it every night, since it can be removed from the crib and stand alone on the dresser. Quality is very good as well...very soothing tunes. | 1positive

silly
This item is not worth the money. It dries out your wipes very quickly and you have to replace the "activator" in the bottom frequently. The wipes don't get that warm and as soon as they reach the air they are cooled to room temp. Just hold the wipes in your hand a few seconds and it does the same thing. It's a waste of space and money. If you are a mom that doesn't change your baby in the same spot every time it is useless. I carry my wipes all over the house. Don't waste your money or the plug space. | 0negative

Broken & Brittle
I registered for a diaper depot and will not be keeping it if I receive one. One of my friends tried to buy it for me and had to return it because it was broken in the package. She then found all of the ones in the store to be broken in their packages. This is not a good sign that it will be of any use long-term if it is being made with plastic that is too brittle. | 0negative

simple is better
We used this mainly as a car potty because my son did not like loud flushing public restrooms. It is very lightweight but sturdy in the back of our SUV, seems comfortable and we never had any leaking/tipping/splashing issues. This chair is super easy to clean thanks to its lack of moving parts. I'd buy it again. | 1positive

Tried it--and ended up buying a diaper genie
I believed the reviews of this product, and bought it when my baby was an infant. It worked very well while I was still breastfeeding, but once we started solid food, the smell was pretty bad. Each morning when we went into his room, the whole place smelled like diapers. Still, I resisted the diaper genie, because I didn't want to spend the money on the refills. However, by 10 months, we had enough, and finally bought a diaper genie. What a difference!! The only time smell escapes is when we empty it. To me, it is worth the price of refills not to have to put up with the smell. If it is not worth it to you, just buy a regular garbage can--it will work just as well as the "champ". | 0negative

We've had many breakage issues...
i've reviewed this product on another page but since it's not showing up here, i figured i'd just do another... basically, we have two of these that we use with our britax carseats. we have the screw type attachments, which take about 5-10 minutes to attach/detach (depending on how aligned they are and whether your kids are trying to run off). the wheels pop off at random times... but they're easy to pop back on. ours go on an average of two trips a year, and we *always* gate check. our kids are 1.5 and 3.5 now, and we've replaced both handles, a retainer bar, a back plate, and an axle. this doesn't even include the little pieces of plastic that chip off during every trip. the good news is that it's easy to replace any of the broken pieces. the bad news is that they're expensive, and shipping is also expensive. had i known what the total cost for these things might be, i am not sure i would have opted for this product. when it works, it works pretty well and it is really helpful at the airport. | 0negative

not for Avent bottles
While the concept overall seems like a good idea, it is not for everyone. If your life is hectic and/or disorganized (like me!), this is not for you, because you need to make sure to boil water and then place the warmer in for 15 minutes (which means remembering to start the whole process 20-30 minutes before you leave the house).The other big thing that I didn't see in any of the reviews was that this does not work for Avent bottles. I tried with a 4 oz bottle but the warmer was too small and there was no way to fit the bottle and warmer in the bag. | 0negative

My baby's favorite pacifier!
Although a much lighter pink color than pictured, the product is great. Really helps to keep pacifier in place except when baby pulls on the horse! And it makes it harder to loose pacifier. My only complaint is that the thread for the horse's nostrils was way to long and hazardous for little fingers, so I cut it out. | 1positive

cute but does not work
These are really cute and a good idea if they actually stayed on. It falls off 2 seconds after I put it on. | 0negative

DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE??
Early Intervention/physical therapist says to limit babies usage to no more than 30 mins a day! Same goes for other Jumpers that hang from the door frame. Its not good for their legs.this is bulky and hard to move. The three posts shake and create lots of noise.Although they are a "safe" place to put child, while older kids are in room or have to run to the bathroom. I like the "exersaucer" style better. | 0negative

Handy!
I bought these because changing tables in restaurants and stores never seem to have them! They actually have colorful critters on them, not just white. Great to have in a diaper bag, and very affordable. | 1positive

Great gate!
This is by far one of the best investments we've made since having a baby. This gate was super easy to install, and is very sturdy. I really like that this gate is pressure mounted, so when we need to take them down, there will be no holes to fill in the walls. The foot pedal that releases the gate is very easy for adults to use (once you know that you have to push on it like you mean it!), but not too easy as you wouldn't want any escapees! We also have two small dogs (Yorkie and Shih Tzu) and it holds them where they're supposed to be as well. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gate. If we ever decide to gate off another doorway, we will definitely buy another one of these! | 1positive

not for big bottles
This item is well designed and is easy to use, if you have small bottles. I used the Avent bottles and could not get them into the bottle slots. I also had a few playtex nursers that wouldn't fit. I ended up just using the drawers for washing the bottle nipples and rings in the dishwasher and giving it away as soon as my son was done with his bottles. If you plan to use the bottles witht he smaller/skinnier openings this product could be great, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. | 0negative

Keep those noggins round!
I bought this Noggin Nest to prevent my baby from getting a "flat head". My mom has a very flat head, and I have a slight flatness and I would not want my child to have that happen to them if it can be prevented or reduced. This product seems like it will be good for our baby. I only wish that the pad came down further so that it could cover the baby's "seat" as well as their head/back. This would be great to have it longer in length for car seats or bouncy seats. It would also be nice to have the cover be removable for washing instead of having to wash the whole Nest. On the good side, I believe the product will do what it says, and the fabric is VERY SOFT and cozy. Nice neutral color although I do wish that other colors were available too. Product is made in China per the label if anyone is interested.... | 1positive

Practical Sleep Safety
While we have received a HALO SleepSack for review we've also bought several of our own in cotton and fleece. They are hands down the safest way to ensure baby is warm enough at bed without putting them at risk with blankets. I find them easy to put on and take off of baby and having the zipper open from the bottom makes diaper changes in the night quick and easy. We used these for my daughter and now I'm getting more for our new baby boy who will be joining us in a few months. I highly recommend HALO SleepSacks! | 1positive

A Must-have
I received this as a gift from my registry and I could not live without our Baby Bjorn. From my daughter's 2nd week until now (she is 3 months), I have been carrying her around in this. When she hit the fussy 3-6 week stage (colic), this was the only thing that helped us both keep our sanity. We have a dog, and I use it to get some exercise and get the dog walked every day. It's also great for shopping since it isn't bulky and doesn't get in the way. (I have yet to use our stroller!) For comfort, try moving the cross-strap down between the shoulderblades--this takes the pressure off your neck and shoulders. I am 5' 7" and my husband is 6' 5" and we both use it on a daily basis. If you only buy a few things for your baby, this should be one of them! (My other 2 must-haves are a vibrating bouncy seat and the Tiny Love Symphony in Motion).My only complaint is that the brochure claims that you can breastfeed while wearing the carrier--I have tried, but have not been able to manage it without taking the baby out and taking the carrier off. Other than that, I don't know what I'd do without our Baby Bjorn!! | 1positive

Does the job
There are not many options out there which are black in color. I first bought the Roost Edge Protectors & sent them back immediately. Then I decided to try these out. They work great, soft material and don't look garish on my kitchen table. I stuck them on my table after my toddler was tucked in bed for the night. They thus had all night to stick to the table and my toddler didn't have his attention drawn to them since he didn't see me put them on. He has not touched them and they are firmly set. | 1positive

Messy, Do not recommend
I registered for the tub because storage is limited in my house. My husband and I do not like this tub because if you fill it up too high the water spilled out of the sides where it folds up. It also does not hold very much water. Only my son's bottom is in the water. His feet and hands are out of the water, so he cannot explore the water with them. When he was younger his head always leaned to one side and ended up resting on the plastic side of the tub. I was always worried that he would slip down. I would recommend buying a different tub. | 0negative

Paper-thin and do not wash well
I almost feel like I did not receive the same sheet as the people who have reviewed this product. These are extremely thin and rather scratchy. Thinking a wash with fabric softener will do them good, I threw them into the machine. They came out a wrinkled and even scratchier mess. I have never seen sheets behave this way in all my life - they folded in on themselves like origami with tiny tiny very hard wrinkles. Of course I cannot return them now that I've washed them. I would not purchase anything made by this company. In fact, I think I will stay away from bed linens on amazon all together. | 0negative

Could be better
Thought this should and could do more. It just keeps track of how long it's been. So it really is just 4 timers in one without alarms for each. For what it does, it should sell for $10! Wish it had memory to keep track daily. I still had to write down everything anyway since the doctor always wanted to know daily totals. | 0negative

Good seat
It's a neat seat. I have them side by side and the wife sits back there also. I wish the top was a little bit narrower. This seat is more than 20 lbs. it's heavy | 1positive

Inferior swing
I have several points of contention with the Graco Lovin' Hug Swing. I think it's unfair to rate a product based on how individual babies respond to it (for the record, my baby haaaaaaates this swing), so this review is my take on the product itself.The biggest problem is the mobile. When the swing is on any speed other than 1, the mobile turns towards the back and well out of view of the baby. The stuffed animals, while cute, are not visually stimulating, so even if baby could see them they wouldn't add much to the experience. Also, beware: if you put the mobile on the right side, it interferes with the swing's motor.The tray is difficult to snap on, and very noisy. It makes a loud noise going on or off that can startle the baby.The white noise feature provides white noise as promised; unfortunately, so does the music feature. Roll over Beethoven indeed!I'm not sure why the swing has a 5 point restraint system, but it seems excessive to me. Speed 6 isn't *that* fast. I opted not to fully strap my baby in after the first time when he balked at the 5 minute buckling process, but then the straps were uncomfortable under his back!We replaced our Graco swing with the Fisher-Price Aquarium Cradle Swing; our still-little baby vastly prefers the side-to-side feature and superior mobile. For only $20 more, the Fisher-Price makes the Graco look incredibly cheap. | 0negative

No replacements
We bought this one for my first child. Loved it cause he could eat in the car without getting food all over in the back seat. Was great also cause he could feed himself...BUT i hated with every fiber of my being cleaning it. ITS HORRIBLE. I got it back out with my second child and there was no way i was using it again. (they are really close in age)I was at babys r us and found the sassy brand kind and it comes with replacement bags...so they come out, making it soooo much easier to clean. And once they get too nasty to give back to them, you put a new bag in. I would never recommend this one anyone. But obviously i would recommend the other brand. | 0negative

Must have!
I bought this blue HALO sleepsack after receiving a cream colored one from the hospital. I had purchased a set of the Summer Infant swaddlers, but my son did not like them at all. Every single time I put him in one of these HALO sleepsack's he immediately would fall asleep. I didn't have to worry about him being too cold during the night, or worry about loose blankets. He did prefer to have his arms out once he was around 2 weeks old, so I'm so happy that option is available. If I ever have another child, I will be ordering several of these. I did see the review about the wings ending up over baby's face, and I did experience this, a simple adjustment to make sure the wings were positioned correctly and tightly eliminated this problem. Out of all of the baby gear out there, I really think this is a must have! | 1positive

Good if you like listening to static!
I had high hopes for this monitor. We've been through 3 or 4 of them in the past 5 years. I like the range on this one. However, all I hear is static! We've tried everything but all we hear is alot of static and the sound the child makes is very hard to hear. When it's cranked up as loud as it gets, it's just loud static and baby crying sounds like a whisper. We've tried moving it around to avoid reception problems but no luck... doens't matter where it is inside or outside the house. I really want to get a second First Years 900 Mhz one but they no longer make the model we have - it was the best. | 0negative

Cheaply constructed
Bought the gate without the alarm (but as I see it's no longer available, I'm writing about this version) with high expectations. The gate had decent reviews and it had 'free shipping!' First warning should have been the obvious 'made in China' label on the top of the gate (with all the product problems from China I'm seriously wondering if I have a product with lead paint). It went downhill from there. The instructions were difficult to follow (I've put together lots of things for my kids and these weren't very clear). The hardware to fasten it to the walls was flimsy. Screws were short and the drywall hardware pulled right out while just opening/closing it. Speaking of which, the open/close isn't that easy to do, even for an adult. I'm not bothering to return it (wouldn't be cost effective with shipping and their 50% max value return policy) and may donate it to someone with a pet -- with the warning that if they put the gate up in a high traffic area it'll be a pain to use. | 0negative

Bath Seat Shipping
I ordered the product online to avoid the long haul to the Babies R Us store in my area. The box was shipped without being wrapped first. The package arrived smashed on one end, ripped on one corner and someone wrote all over the box. Since it was intended to be a gift, I had to go to the store anyway so I could return it for one that was presentable.Since it was purchased off a registry, it was obivously a gift and should have been shipped in a manner that would prevent damage. | 0negative

Great Car Seat Travel Bag
We have owned several car seat travel bags, and this is (by-far) the best one. It's well made and very comfortable to carry. Our old one, though certainly not as durable, was able to fit more in the bag. This one truly holds only ONE car seat (and perhaps a booster seat). So plan to buy more than one if you need to take more than one car seat. Worth the price!! | 1positive

Perfect for the family on the go
We travel often- 4-5 times per year, and this is a fantastic cover for our Britax Marathon Convertible Car seat. My husband throws it on his back and away we go through the airport. We've had ours for a year and travelled with it 5 times. It still looks brand new and it has kept our car seat in great condition. It is very thick and durable. This is a must for anyone travelling with their car seat. It really does protect it and make travelling much easier. And for the price?? You can't beat it. | 1positive

Leaky!!

good for travel, not for daily use
I purchased these instead of a sterilizer because I didn't want another item cluttering up my counterspace. Well, it takes 2 uses to sterilize all of my pump accessories and bottles and you can only use the bags 20 times. I ended up buying a sterilizer anyways for the sake of efficiency (it fits everything at once) but use the bags I have for when we travel. Most hotels have a microwave so I just put these in my pump bag and off we go. Had they made this bag a little bigger to fit all items in a single use, I would have probably kept using these on a daily basis. | 1positive

Thin and Scratchy!
I just received these as a gift and will be returning them. I had intended to use them as burp cloths, but they are way too thin and not absorbent at all! You can see right through them. Plus, the fabric is really scratchy. Not at all what I was expecting. | 0negative

OMG! This is great!
I am so, so happy with this BabyBjorn Toilet trainer. No other trainer we tried would fit properly on the toilet. They were all very wobbly, and my son would freak out and refuse to use them again. This one not only has the little grippers on it, but it also seems to be a much better fit for the toilet altogether.We are well on our way to potty-training success, and it wouldn't have happened without this trainer! | 1positive

A Lovely Lotion for People With Sensitive Skin
I used this lotion on my son when he was an infant and liked it so much I am using it on my baby girl. It is free of fragrances and harsh ingredients, so it is even safe to use on their faces. I also love how light weight it is--fast absorbing is especially important when dealing with a squirmy baby.I also use the California Baby Super Sensititve Shampoo and Bodywash and love it. | 1positive

Buyer beware
I didn't think to check the reviews, because I didn't realize that by going to size three our beloved diapers would be anything but bigger than size two. Immediately out of the box the first thing I noted was the smell, which stays on the diapers even once out of the box. We will be trying to find a different diaper when these run out. Such a shame, because we really did love the swaddlers in the smaller (non-smelly) sizes. | 0negative

Great Way to Cut Baby's Nails
For some reason this nail cutter is listed under toys. So when it came to rating, of course I am going to say this toy is not much fun and does not have educational value. Must be an Amazon error.Other than that, I love to cut my baby's fingernails and toenails with this. It is simple and makes cutting nails painless. The price is also something I love. I don't know why parents use the metal nail clippers when baby scissors are so much safer and easier to handle.My only complaint is that the finger hole is a bit small for men's fingers, if daddy wanted to cut baby's nails. | 1positive

Great for breastfeeding mom who works full time
My daughter is 2 months old (9 weeks). I am still breastfeeding, but went back to work full time about 2 weeks ago. My husband is currently deployed so I had the daunting task of "teaching" my baby to take a bottle. I thought she would like the playtex ventair bottles because that is what I used with her older sister. Some days she did ok, other days it was like she forgot how to swallow and drink from a bottle. I decided to try Nuk bottles. They seemed even worse. My last chance was playtex drop-ins. The gift set comes with several different nipples. I put this nipple on one of her bottles and sent her to daycare. The babysitter told me that she did very well with this nipple so she just kept washing it and feeding her with it. I am so thankful we found these nipples. My daughter is very attached to breastfeeding, but these nipples make bottle feeding much easier!! Highly recommend for breastfeeding moms who need to bottle feed!!! | 1positive

Great but with setbacks
These liners are a great idea in theory. I only use them because my baby like the latex nipples and not many other bottle brands have latex nipples anymore. The measurements are a nightmare, I have to guess how much breastmilk I am pouring in the bottle. The only thing that helps is that I pour it in from a lansinoh storage bag and that gives me a better idea of how much I am putting in.With regards to leaks and the liner lip pulling free and falling out, I only experienced that with the 4oz liners but that was because I was overfilling them. However I am always worried about this happening so I screw the nipple on very carefully. It would be great if the nipple ring was clear so you could see if the liner is on the verge of pulling free or not. | 1positive

Best diapers for us!
We have tried the cheaper diapers a few times. Each time we had consistently more leaks. Once the kids get into the bigger sizes it is an issue because even the cheap diapers don't leak.For kids under a year it is just not worth it to save a dollar or two when you are having multiple blow outs a week. Using these diapers has saved us from having to change clothes coutless times when we are out and about. | 1positive

Broke after 3 months of use-Bad Customer Service!!!
The ties on this item broke off after only 3 months of use. Very cheaply made. I purchased this item at a Toys R US but could not return it without a receipt which I had misplaced. They wouldn't even do an even exchange...I tried calling the makers of this product directly (SunshineKids) which was a waste of time because although they have a one year warranty, you have to show proof of purchase. The only way to show proof of purchase is with a receipt. Well, things happen and sometimes you lose receipts which I did, so basically there is nothing that can be done. What a waste of $10 bucks as it is now headed for the trash can. | 0negative

Good idea, poor fastening mechanism
Retractable barrier was perfect height for my deck. However the screen was slack at the top and tight at the bottom despite being level. Biggest problem, and reason I returned, was the faulty snaps that hold the barrier open. There are three heavy duty snaps on the leading edge of the barrier that hold it open (you screw the receiving pieces onto the wall). The initial attachment was strong, the barrier held firmly in place. But the first time I unsnapped the buttons the top two came disconnected from the barrier, rendering it useless. I even followed the instructions specifying the proper way to unsnap, but they popped right off, as if the rivets holding them on were too weak. If they can fix the manner in which this attaches to the opposite wall (and just as importantly detaches), then this would be a great product. | 0negative

"Dry" is such an exageration
I only used Swaddlers and Crusers since my baby was born. Recently I wanted to try the BabyDry because they were a little cheaper. This was a BIG mistake. The babydry don't stay dry at all, especially not as long as 12 hours as advertised. It would stay dry for 4 hours maybe. These things leak (not overflow); that is it I sit my baby on my lap, after a while my pants will be wet. Moreover 90% of the time the bed will be wet in the morning, unless the baby cries in the middle of the night and I use that occasion to change her.In the end these babydry diapers are MORE EXPENSIVE than the Cruisers due to the fact that I have to change my baby a lot more often. I will NOT buy these babydry diapers again. | 0negative

Great Item--from sink to tub.
This fit perfectly in our single basin sink and we used it from our sons first bath on. Now we use it in the big bathtub. You definatly need a good place to hang it to dry but other than that I can't imagine having anyproblems with it. It makes sink bathing much easier and safer in my opinion and more comfortable for the baby. | 1positive

Sturdy gate
We used this for our 30 lb puppy and he can't knock it down - yet. And he leans on it and puts his paws up on top of it too. It bows slightly when it's very snug, but holds very well. And, so far, has left no marks on the walls. | 1positive

choose another swing
My four month old boy has not liked this swing since the first day it was given to us. It seemed too reclined even when he was only two months old and the fast swinging motion along with the bright flashing lights is too much for an alert baby! He cries the minute we place him in it and even more if I turn anything on. Plus there really isn't much to play with besides the two oddly angled hanging fish on each side. We use it as a seat for him to sit and hold his rattles in, but it's pretty expensive just for that. We have the entire Ocean Wonders set of equipment and this piece is the worst. Also, what is with those repetitive songs? Every Ocean Wonders item plays the same awful wannabe classical songs. My baby is not impressed and neither am I. | 0negative

Too Big!! But We Love It Anyway...
This is a great product, really. I actually tried to make one of these myself recently since it is such a genius idea. The sizing however, is WAY too big. I bought the XL for my son (who usually wears size 24m in clothing) and it is truly Extra-Large. Even so, he wears it at bedtime and is able to stand in his crib without tripping over himself in the morning. I suppose I should be happy that it is big and he will grow into it.... But if you want a nice comfortable fit (still with room to move around) , you should probably order a size down.The product itself looks exactly how it appears on amazon. It has really given me peace of mind at bedtime, since my son loves to roll around and uncover himself all night... I think this is a necessity for babies 3+ months (particularly if you live somewhere not so warm)... | 1positive

What Bag Size?
The product description says this pail "Uses standard plastic bags". I received the product and none of the bags I had or had ordered specifically for it fit. Would have been helpful to have the capacity noted in gallons like every other pail, but this one didn't and I had to send it back - which was quite a pain because I had discarded the box and had to wait in line at the post office. No UPS returns for this - it had to be the post office. | 0negative

Nothing but a headache
I read other reviews that said it was headache, but I went ahead and purchased this item because it's less expense than anything I else I saw. I should have listened... I ordered it in Feb, it is now May and we still don't have the dresser together. There were pieces missing, and a major piece broken. When you try to call, the line is busy. I had to hang up and redial, what felt like forever. They said my piece would come in 3 weeks, it was more like 7 weeks. The piece that was broken had the drawer rails on it, but when it came, it had no rails. So, I said I wanted to return the entire thing, they were fine with it, but it can take up to 8 weeks to get your money back. So, at this point in time, we are going to go to the hardware store to buy what we need so that I can have a dresser in my son's room. | 0negative
