Happy
Ive been looking for fun and vibrant sheets for my sons crib and im glad to find these. I was worried if they would be an odd size or something and maybe not fit and be too small but they fit great. I have the davinci kalani crib from target and its a larger sized crib so these sheets will fit any crib you should have. The fabric is soft and well made. I love this zig zag pattern it looks so cool and modern! | 1positive

so far so good
WE have 2 little girls due very soon. We ordered this stroller due to the great reviews. We took the stroller to "R" us, and checked on car seats, and their fit. Well unfortunately i was unaware that the bars that come attatched needed to be moved around. Once i figured that out; Baby trend car seats worked great and with a moved bar the seats snapped in tightly and the stroller straps provided extra security. The Graco also fit very nicely. Graco seemed to have that Lexus Vs Toyota feeling comparing Graco to Baby trend but Baby trend is the maker of the stroller and was cheaper ((Toyota) Less expensive but still the same thing)so i figured i cant go wrong, The stroller handles very nicely and stears easily even being so long and with 2 car seats on it. ill update if needed. | 1positive

Well worth the $$$
Although this stroller is expensive, it is well worth the money.pros -large wheels = comfortable smooth ridefolds/unfolds easily = to fold you press 2 buttons on the side and push down, to unfold simply pull up, gently, on the handlebar and it unfolds automatically.storage bag included = there is a good size storage/diaper bag that attaches in back of the stroller between the tires. It has a great cover attached so that the bag won't get wet and dirty. This also holds the pump for the tires.cons -I didn't find these items to be cons, but some people may.There is no cup holder like on many other stroller models. I never used mine on another stroller I had so it didn't bother me.Storage is limited. There is an additional storage basket you can purchase that goes in between the wheels, it's not huge but it gets the job done.The ease, comfort and function outweigh any minor annoyances. This is a very popular brand in Europe and seems to be catching on in the States. I use the Maxi Cosi carseat and couldn't be happier. My baby girl loves the carseat/stroller. If she is napping I don't have to worry about waking her up since the wheels are so smooth, even on cobblestone streets. If you know you want on and are able to budget a little extra money a month throughout the pregnancy then it doesn't seem to be so costly. For more information visit the website at www.quinny.com. I love mine! | 1positive

Not good for nursing
I bought this carrier strictly for the purpose of nursing on the go. As the box itself advertises. However, even with a 9 lb baby I could not get her positioned inside to nurse and be in the sling at the same time. It is too deep for nursing and the sling is too hot for my baby to ride in in 60 degree weather. I returned this sling after two weeks of use. | 0negative

CAREFUL! This can hurt your baby!
My baby has a regular highchair, but I purchased this booster seat to take with me when we go visit Auntie or Grandma. I tried it out at home and followed all the directions and my baby got hurt. She was 16 months old and 22 pounds, so within the weight range for this item, but the chairs at my home are not very heavy. She was done eating and wanted out and she threw her weight forward and it toppled. I felt so terrible that after being so careful my baby got hurt the day we got this thing out of the box. I felt like I should have known that could happen, and also my husband who has secured it to the chair so carefully should have known too. Anyways, this was not in the warnings so I want to warn everyone right now so this doesn't happen to anybody else's child.Please if your child is super active like mine please make sure that the chair you put this on is HEAVY and very SOLID. The chairs at Auntie's are very solid and after a few panic attacks with her sitting in this highchair over there I finally felt secure that this thing really is okay. We haven't had any problems since only securing this to very solid chairs.Thanks for reading this, I hope this helps you. | 0negative

good car seat
I purchased two of these because I had twins and they have been good car seats. The one thing that frustrated me was that the handles are very difficult to release so that you can get the babies out. | 1positive

Easy to use, keeps baby warm
We switched to these from the swaddleme blankets when our baby outgrew being swaddled. I like that they are so easy to use, like that the zipper goes top to bottom so its not poking baby's neck, and that it keeps him pretty warm. | 1positive

Great car seat!!!
This car seat is fantastic!!! It is very sturdy, well made and very comfortable for our son... he loves it!! He could sleep in it all day! It is also one of the highest rated safety car seats on the market right now according to consumer reports. The only thing that we have found is that it is slightly heavy and the shade that you pull down could be a little longer to cover more of the car seat. Goes great with the stroller too!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone! | 1positive

Wish I had this sling when my baby was a newborn
Our son seemed to be the kind of baby who would have been feeling snuggly and secure if we had this when he was a newborn. It seemed as though, because he was not used to being carried in it from the first few weeks, he seemed to be a little bit Claustrophobic in it. By the time we got it he had grown so much bigger and my wife was not able to nurse him in it the way it is suggested for newborns. We will definately be keeping it for our next child, though. | 1positive

THIS PRODUCT IS UNSAFE!!!!
My father ordered this cot for my 16 month-old daughter after I put it on my wishlist. He assembled it while babysitting for my daughter and immediately realized after she climbed onto it for the first time that there is no locking mechanism that keeps the cot from collapsing in upon itself. He then called the manufacturer after noticing that the company is based in our state (Minnesota) and asked for assistance. The man with whom he spoke told my father that the cot has no locking device and was supposed to collapse to "cradle the child." He stated that the braces shown in the photographs of the cot were "wrong" and didn't really exist. Really? I guess these folks have never heard of SIDS. My father asked if he could visit the manufacturer site to have someone help make sure it was assembled correctly, and the man (who refused to give his name or transfer him to someone who could actually help and ultimately hung up on him -- TWICE)told my father that if he didn't like it we should return it to amazon. So we did. Unsafe product + horrible customer service = NO! | 0negative

Great step stool
Very sturdy stool, cute pink color, although the top is white so it shows dirt very easily. My daughter loves using this stool! | 1positive

Good idea but cheap quality and NOT firm
I was terribly disappointed in this. Beware if you are looking for a firm, supportive pillow, this is NOT it.The fabric is rough and the stuffing/filler is so cheap. The pillow is super light weight nothing like the density of a Bobby or other pillows. My baby sunk right down in the pillow and I couldn't get the shape to support her. I guess the design is a great idea but the product fails to do what it promises. I am small breasted and need to hold my baby up higher and right against me. I was looking for a firm pillow that could allow me to relax my arm without supporting her whole weight. I ended up with the "My Breast Friend" pillow and LOVE IT! | 0negative

Hate these diapers
We've been using Costco diapers for 18 months but got a good deal and couldn't pass it up. I'm sorry I did because these diapers leak. They have too much papery stuff around the edges and too little padded area to absorb pee. It's also hard to get these put on correctly because there's so much papery edging. I'll never buy them again. | 0negative

Very happy.
When I bought this I was just wanting something that didn't leak onto the seat when my son and daughter when pee, and something that doesn't slip around. The seat definitely doesn't slip around, but it does let pee get on to the seat a little. I'm still happy with it though. Compared to the one we used to have from Walmart, it does it's job perfectly (and it cleans really easily). | 1positive

Child Gate Extentions
Item as described and worked perfectly with my gate. There was no problems when I added it to the existing gate to extend it. I liked this gate because there was no screwing involved. No damage to walls or stairways. | 1positive

Best for the MONEY!
This slider is just perfect! We love it for our new daughters room... We wanted a nuetral color and this one works great! All her furniture is white and it fits right in! and the price is the best part. Pretty easy to assemble as well. 5 stars! | 1positive

Our favorite sippy cups!
We just purchased these valves for our Playtex sippy cups and they are a perfect fit. Playtex is our favorite brand of sippy cup because the valves get totally clean every time in the dishwasher (no little pockets that start growing mold) and because they seem to stop spills better than other brands. We highly recommend these valves and the cups! | 1positive

Arrived already with a crack!
This item arrived and was already cracked. I immediately returned it and purchased the Friendly Toys Little Playzone with Sounds and Lights . I'd recommend skipping this one and moving right onto the other Playzone... though it's a bit more expensive, it's better quality. | 0negative

Fabric wicks moisture
While this cover is easy to use and fits well, I've noticed the fabric seems to wick moisture to the outside. I had my baby in the cover overnight last night, with an insert, and woke to find her soaking wet with a huge wet spot where she was lying. The diaper was totally tucked into the cover, and the whole back of the cover was wet. This is not the first time I've noticed this problem with the cover, and this morning I just threw it out. I don't know if it's the detergent I use or what, but get the Thirsties covers instead. They're much more moisture-resistant. | 0negative

This thing should be recalled
This thing is a hazard waiting to happen. It should have a 5 point harness, especially for the sitting up position. My baby is only 15 pounds (5 months) and managed to hang over the side in the reclined position. It also should have come with an electric plug. It eats through batteries like crazy and it's so big you aren't going to be moving it from room to room often. If you use the mobile or the music on it the swing will slow down and almost completely stop. The cover can be taken off to wash, but it is a pain to do so. | 0negative

Avent bottle leakage
Suyen, Thank you for your advice on turning the Avent bottle cap counter clockwise until it clicks and then right to tighten as usual. The bottles do not leak and work great. Love them. | 1positive

cradle sheets fit fine
We are still waiting on the arrival of our baby, but we have our co-sleeper set up and ready to go. I searched high and low for more sheets to fit this bed and found i would have to order them online. I can handle the $15 for the sheet, a little pricey but i'd probably still buy it, but then found the shipping to cost another $6. Now that's an expensive sheet. So, i searched BRU and found that a regular "cradle sheet" fits quite well and is softer and much cheaper- $6 each. Just have to tuck one end in tightly, don't have to worry about hang drying it like the arm's reach one.10/3/2011: Interestingly, I've come upon this review that I wrote 3 years ago and noticed a couple of comments and thought I'd post my experience with the co-sleeper sheets after using it with 2 babies. (On a side note: I also highly recommend the mini-cosleeper. I've kept the "co-sleeper" sheet folded in the bottom drawer of the crib for the past 3 years and have only used the knit "cradle sheets" I mentioned in the original review. I have 3 of them and I put a waterproof flannel pad underneath for padding. I don't actually even like the texture of the co-sleeper sheet and I'm afraid I'll forget to pull it out of the washer to air dry it so I don't even use it. The knit cradle sheet can be pulled more snug around the corners and is softer. | 0negative

Do not waste your money on this
The toys and the top are great and fun enough for our 5 month old, but the construction of this toy is terrible. The base is hollow, light and thin, constucted of 2 seperate pieces that you use 2 screws to hold together, which makes me think that he will either push himself and the whole thingover, or he will soon be dragging it around the house. So my point for this toy not being worth 10 dollars let alone $75. The selling point of this toy is that your child is supposed to be able to move freely from station to station 360 degrees and play with the multiple toys on top. The problem is where the swivel attatches to the base. Being that the base is made of two pieces of plastic, when your child trys to rotate around the base, he gets hung up on the seams where the 2 pieces of the base are screwed together, leaving him stuck and immobile, making the toy no better than a Bumbo with a tray. | 0negative

Baby LOVES It
Length:: 0:36 MinsOur newborn used to hate tummy time until my sister got us this as a gift! Now he loves loves tummy time. This is him doing TT at 3 weeks. The best part is that this can be used for multiple things, like making the stroller cozy for walks. It is very soft and cozy. I wish I had one in my size!My sister also got us the lambskin wash too. The directions for maintaining the lambskin doesn't require it but it seems like a good idea to use. You should wash it once a month. | 1positive

very disappointed
I am a mother of 4 month old twins. I registered for this bouncer and the Leap Frog bouncer so they could have a variety. I wish now I had two of the Leap Frog because whoever I put in this one always watches the other one play with the "good toys" on the Leap Frog. This bouncer is useless. It reclines so far that they can't reach the toys and they can't kick them either. The toys only go back and forth and the way they are attached doesn't allow you to use the plastic links to add any other toys. The strap is short, thin, stiff and digs into their legs. The crotch pad is too small. It takes two hands to get the toy bar off, which is not an easy thing when you have a baby in your arms. The fish on the toy bar don't do much and you can't even see the colors change on the top of it. It leans so far back that I can't feed them in it either. I wish I would have looked closer at it when I registered because there are many bouncers to choose from. I just picked it because the fish theme went with the nursery and I assumed the bouncers were all about the same. Boy, was I wrong. | 0negative

Amazon is very very slow in Shipping/Delivery for Diapers
Amazon says the delivery is within 24 hours for diapers when you look at the item.After placing the order, it always gives the shipping date atleast 2 to 3 weeks after palcing order. You child may go the next size by the time you receive the box.Please order the next size if you ever order diapers from Amazon. | 0negative

mixed reviews
My son gets bored with the musical bar, it entertains him for about 5 minutes if that. Also never once has he fallen asleep in it. The only thing I use it for is to watch his baby einstein videos. He does like that because when he gets excited over the video he kicks and makes the chair bounce more. I also sometimes use it to feed him in, but the chair alone itself isn't worth the money. My child is way to observant and needs more stimulation than what it offers. | 0negative

So much for the "comfort" feature
I am 5'5, 200lbs, and have a long torso. This backpack was a good length for me and yes, it is lightweight. Unfortunately, behind the lumbar support is a big, fat, plastic bar that slips past the lumbar support and dug into my back and pelvis. It was really uncomfortable. I tried to adjust the lumbar pad several times but to no avail. I'm also confused as to why the blue pack is more expensive than the red one.Needless to say, we will not be keeping this backpack. | 0negative

my baby LOVES this
My 2 month old absolutely loves this gym. He is captivated by the flashing lights on the star. He keeps the music going by kicking the gym. He's also beginning to reach for the other hanging objects and enjoys looking at himself in the mirror. The product is great...it gives mommy a little time to herself while baby is happily entertained. | 1positive

Safe, comfortable, and cheaper than a Marathon
I have two Roundabout car seats, one is nearly 7 months old, and the other is around 5 years old.I have a 4 year old daughter, and 6.5 month old twins, one Roundabout was my daughters old one, and the other is a new one (both in Grey Wicker Print). I love how easy it is to install these car seats with the LATCH system in my minivan, or even transfer them into my mothers car without using the LATCH, yet the Roundabouts hold strong, and sturdy like a rock. I love how the car seats cover matches my interior, and also provides comfort and safety to the child who is inside them. The straps are amazingly easy to buckle, in fact my daughter likes to "be a mommy" and buckle in one of her brothers, which she is able to do flawlessly, as am I and my husband. Its easy to open, so easy that my daughter managed to do this by 3 years old, which we didnt worry about because by then we were already searching for a booster for her. (by the way you can go with a Roundabout from birth to toddler-hood, and then a Compass Folding Booster, rather than the pricier Marathon. I say this because I suspect that you would need a booster after using the Marathon, but only for a short while... that's basically my reasoning for purchasing the Roundabouts, because when you purchase a booster after a Roundabout its actually used for a while, unlike it would be after your child outgrows the Marathon). I love that the straps, and recline positions can be adjusted with the car seat tethered/LATCHed into the car, and the seats fit well rear-facing as well as forward facing. I have even FLOWN with one Roundabout, and both. They fit well in airplane seats, but in the rear-facing position the seat in front of the Roundabout can not recline... most people are generous and understanding, but I would suggest trying to sit up front! The seat holds up to 45 lbs, although my daughter "outgrew it" before then, since her brothers were "on the way" and since she was able to unbuckle herself.I love the Roundabout... Its reliable, user-friendly, and defiantly heirloom quality! A great purchase and defiantly recommenced! | 1positive

Great idea... BAD design!
When we first got this product, we were ecstatic! It was easy to use and there was absolutely NO odor. Then, after only a couple of days of use, the batteries needed replacing (4 Size D batteries). We figured it was just a fluke, so we replaced them. After about 2 weeks, they were used up again. We tried replacing them one more time, but found the same problem occurred within 2 weeks or so. We decided the cost of buying batteries was far less than getting a different pail! | 0negative

why a warmer??
I don t know why anyone would buy a counter top warmer. They say that microwaving a bottle "zaps" the nutrients in the mix. Well, there are no nutrients in water. My wife and I first heat the bottle of water in the microwave then add powdered formula mix. We have it down to a science and after heating the bottle for about 5 seconds at a time you can figure out how long it takes exactly. He's 8 months old and we've been doing this since the beginning. For you liquid formula people...Oh well!! | 0negative

Excellent car seat
We actually have this seat in the grey charcoal color. But regardless of the color, we love the seat. Our baby seems to love it as well. We also purchased the Peg Perego Atlantico Trek Stroller and this car seat snaps into it with ease. The seat is easy to insert and remove from our car as well. Also, the fabric and quality of the seat is fantastic.But most importantly, the seat is strong and stable in the car and seems very, very safe. Excellent product! | 1positive

Super Swing
I bought this swing for my second child. For my first we had a full size swing, but I wanted to try a travel swing, because I didn't like the bulkyness of the full size one.This swing is absolutely the best. My daughter loves it. The speeds are just right. I like that it is so compact and portable. I have been taking it with me when I go to visit people, instead of taking a bouncer or anything else. It folds down relatively well for travel.It has been great! I have recommended it to my family and friends, and have found it worth every penny. | 1positive

Great Carrier-A must have for moms
This is the best carrier I have tried. Someone gave me a Snugli that they never used. My daughter and I both liked the Snugli but I work at home and my daughter only sleeps (during the day) when someone is holding her. The Snugli did not work well around the house. This carrier is so comfy that I wear it all day long. My daughter now takes naps during the day :-) She is two months and my only regret is that I did not buy this carrier before now. Also, this carrier is very versitile. You can use it in many different positions. Visit www.theultimatebabywrap.com to see them all. | 1positive

Just a great set of bedding
After many weeks of shopping, we liked this one the best. We ended up decorating the room safari style and these pieces really tied up the theme. All of the bedding, including the quilt, the curtains and the bumper washed very well and still looked great when I pulled them out of the dryer! | 1positive

We love Cruisers!
Our daughter wore nothing but Swaddlers and when the tme came to move up into 3's we moved to the Baby Dry becasue they are a great daiper and were cheaper. We went through one case before we switched to the Cruisers. She became very active right aobut the time she wentt into 3's. She was crawling, sitting up, rolling over...she was mobile to say the least. She kept popping hte tabs in the Baby Dry becasue they didn't move with her. The Cruisers have more stretch to them adn she's never had that problem since.She wasn't in the 3's long before she moved on into 4's and now at 14 1/2 months we're still using Cruisers in a 5 when she's not wearing Pull Ups. | 1positive

Works like a charm
After many nights of not sleeping through the night or naps getting cut short due to outside noise I NEEDED this machine. It works great! My daughter starts rubbing her eyes once it's turned on. It cuts down all of the other noises so that she sleeps longer and sounder. I am so glad that I bought this to me it is worth WAY more than what I paid! | 1positive

not the best choice
I thought this would be a good idea because it was deflatable and therefor easily portable. But when we tried to blow it up, it wouldn't inflate- not by mouth, by pump or otherwise. The valves were defective and sealed shut. Not wanting the hassle of returning it for yet another perhaps working replacement, we chose to puncture the valves to let us inflate the pad. It worked but unfortunately, one of the sides leaks now. A patch didn't help. The pad skids on the changing table surface and the belt would honestly not do much to keep a baby on the pad- it would just keep the pad on them while they fell to the floor. Would NOT rely on it. The terrycloth cover pills quickly and looks ratty very soon after use. My 3 and a half month old son is 24" long and he is already outgrowing it lengthwise. I will get a sturdier pad for an upgrade. | 0negative

Never received it.
I waited and waited for this item. One email said it was sent, another said it was canceled and after that, another email said I should have received it by now.

Don't Do It!!!
I am a mother of two (4 1/2 & 18mos). Received a genie at my first shower...hated it! Very complicated to use, expensive refills and overall inconvenient when dealing with an infant. Found that the older my baby got the worse the genie smelled. Now I use a small garbage can with regular grocery bags...much cheaper. One way to "seal in the freshness" of soiled diapers-try buying no-frills ziploc sandwich bags. At less than $... a box (100 ct) they last longer than genie refills and work a whole lot better! I suggest to all my pregnant friends to remove it from their registry. | 0negative

PeeWees - Disposable Dry Washcloths Review
After bringing my daughter home from the hospital I discover her skin was to sensitive to use baby wipes. Thank goodness for PeeWees - Disposable Dry Washcloths. I use them instead of baby wipes and my daughter's bottom have yet to turn red or received a rash. A also use them to wash her face because PeeWees Washcloths are softer than regular washcloths. They're bigger too! The only downfall to this product is there are only 24 in a box. Which means baby wipes are a lot cheater. | 1positive

Awful...
We tried a bunch of different diapers for our 2 month old. Huggies Natural, Pampers Swaddlers and Baby Dry, other Huggies and by far the most leaky diapers were Baby Dry. #1 and #2 never stayed in the diaper! Right out the sides and back and all over me...almost every time. Also, the absorbent core stuff would come out and stick to our baby's skin. Swaddlers are absolutely fabulous and we'll stick with those. | 0negative

Does not keep your baby dry
So I bought these diapers because I have used the Swaddlers before with success. My daughter is 9 weeks old, 10 pounds and uses size 1. For anyone that has not used Swaddlers, the difference between the two is clearly the quality as the diaper is much thinner, almost paper thin. Upon the first use of this diaper, I noticed that after a 2 hour nap, my daughter's onesie was was wet. I gave the diaper another chance, and had exactly the same issue. I would not recommend this diaper as I believe the whole purpose of a diaper is to keep the baby dry. | 0negative

Colic baby's best friend
A friend recommended that I try a carrier instead of hours of rocking my son to fend off crying fits. I tried a Fisher Price model that a friend had given me. Although my son loved it, I found it uncomfortable to wear. So I tried the Rolls Royce of carriers - the Baby Bjorn. It is much more comfortable! We have been using this for two months and I doubt I would get anything done around the house without it! My son wants to be held a lot. This keeps him close and lets him look around to see what is going on. My only caution is that wearing it too long will result in back ache. Still, I highly recommend it to any Mom! | 1positive

Live and learn, right?
Our first diaper purchase was these with the hope they'd be easy on baby with their supposedly cloth-like texture. Rather than have a cloth like texture they just seem cheap. More than once my baby has pottied out the diaper. In the back there is no second band to keep runny messes in and if he sleeps more than a couple hours at night I am sitting there contemplating whether I want to wake him up and make him fuss for fear he will pee through the diaper. Not a positive experience with these diapers. I much prefer the Huggies Snug & Dry I switched to before I was even through this container of Pampers. | 0negative

couldn't hate these wipes more.
I'm very.... i mean VERY frustraed with these wipes. If you have a wipe warmer FORGET THEM cause they dry up soooooooo fast! they are thin and ugh. I hate them I hate their smell and their texture and they are SO thin in comparison to huggies naturals! I'll NEVER buy these again. I'm so pissed that I got the bulk pack! Oh well, at least I'll go through them quickly since it takes 3 wipes to do the same job it only took 1 huggies wipe to do! | 0negative

Daycare provider
I bought this gate for my daycare. I have a rather large opening in a room that leads to two stairways. This gate expands to just the right size. I love the mesh to keep kids from climbing. I just hope it doesn't get torn. It is easy enough for an adult to step over if in a hurry as well. All in all, this was one of the best purchases I've made since starting a daycare. | 1positive

Serviceable but not the best pad cover I've seen
This item is serviceable and probably something you could buy to use to basically get ruined without stressing about it. The Wendy Bellisimo changing pad covers are only $2 more and much better quality fabric. The terry used for these is very cheap and scratchy, like an old towel. I am using them but am not fussed on how long they last or what happens to them, I won't be buying any more though. Carter's also makes lap pads that are great for use over the changing pad. You don't strictly speaking need a cover, it's easier if you don't use one. I never used covers with DD and never had a problem. | 0negative

nice support, but sizing is NOT off
I needed a support belt to help my lower abdomen carrying all that weight. I read all the reviews on this product and everybody said that it was super small and to size up - so I did. I got the belt in a medium instead of a small and it is in the tightest setting too lose to be able to support.I am 5'3" with 127 lbs pre-preggo and now 152 at 28 weeks. I usually wear small and that is what I should have gotten here.I don't know what's up with all the reviews claiming it is so small and that you would have to size up, but from my experience I can only say DON'TOther than that I found the belt comfortable, no itching from the material as some people complained about and it does give nice support (I put it on over Jeans and sweater to make it work sizewise).Therefore I will give it another try and order a small one. As return shipping would be cost for me, I will just give the medium to a pregnant friend.One star got deducted because honestly it would be so super easy for them to just add more sizes on the same length belt, which would eliminate the perceived sizing issue. | 1positive

After going through several monitors with my first child, I was picky about the monitors we chose with my second child. I love this monitor! No interference, no funny noises, no static! Its easy to use for those who aren't tech savvy and my favorite feature: RECHARGEABLE BATTERY! | 1positive

slow swinger
We have had this swing/glider for 6 weeks and it has been a life saver for our now six week old daughter who will not sleep in her crib. The reason I am giving it such a poor score is that the swing does not seem to have any power even though it is plugged in to an outlet. My daughter is only 9 pounds and the swing/glider only moves about 3 inches back and forth and the speed dial does not change anything. It used to work well, so I don't know what the problem is now. It's only on for a few hours during the night and gets a break all day. | 0negative

Green Machine
These diapers may not be the cutest, but who wants their baby wearing attractive undies yet, anyway? I can rely on these as an overnight diaper for my 7 month old without worrying that we'll have leak-out issues, the moisture is efficiently wicked away from baby's skin (preventing moisture rashes and irritation), and they are unbleached and more environmentally friendly than most other brands of throw-away diapers. Diapers are used up so quickly that it's a good idea to order a case at a time online (it's cheaper, and less emergency runs to the market when you see that your diaper bag is empty), unless you're baby is close to changing sizes.As with most other diapers, don't trust that if your baby fits the size description on the bag--for example, although a baby may only weigh 17 lbs, he/she may not fit stage 3 diapers and needs stage 4 diapers (which are indicated for babies 22-37 lbs). It's all about the circumference of the baby thighs! | 1positive

It Leaks
I got this as a shower gift. I used it once and I am glad it was in the bath tub because it leaked like a garden hose that was turned on. I took it back as soon as I could. | 0negative

The worst!
The buttons on this toy get stuck. You press them and sometimes they dont make any sound at all. Real bad quality product. I wouldnt recomend it! | 0negative

Leaking is so frustrating
I would not recommend these bottles to anyone. I have been told that untightening the top prevents leaking.....but I have found they leak when they are too tight or too loose. It is not easy to find the perfect tightness and I have spilled more milk on good furniture. They really need to fix this. | 0negative

Not for young infants...
The mobile is cute, but lacks the features necessary to sooth a small infant to sleep. First of all, the light is very dim, does not cast shadows or even glow enough to see the birds. The music has two settings-loud and louder, and it doesn't play for very long. The birds randomly just quit moving, although the music is still playing. Also, the birds are up so high, that I don't think my infant could even see them. It just did not hold her attention at all, and frankly this product was not what I expected based on the advertisment of the product. I switched to the Ocean Wonders aquarium and it is an essemtial for soothing my baby to sleep. Plus, like the flutterby mobile, it can be purchased with a remote which is very useful! The flutterby mobile may be useful for older infants/toddlers, but I found it unhelpful in aiding my small infant to sleep. | 0negative

Great pump for working moms!
I bought this pump to use when I went back to work full time 9 weeks after my son was born. I have been using it 3x a day at least 5x a week for the past 2.5 months and it works great! Very easy to use and comfortable. The black bag makes it very discreet to carry around as well. My only suggestion is to buy a hands free pumping band so you don't have to hold the cups while you are pumping (I bought the Made by Moms pumping band off of baby center). Definitely worth the money for full time working moms! | 1positive

Disappointed
I received this as a gift. Thought it was great for about a week. Then the lid broke. The wipes were always soaking wet. The wipes did not pop out of the container correctly. I had to continue to open up the container to get the soaking wet wipe. Save yourself the troble and mess. Skip over this item when registering! | 0negative

great value for a comfortable chair
My husband assembled the chair but didn't seem to have any issues with it. The cushions are very comfortable. It is a great value for a quality chair and ottoman set. | 1positive

Rip off
I needed these stars for a treasure hunt for my son's Star Wars birthday party. This is such a rip off - I haven't counted all of them, but there are around 75 biggish stars/planets, another 100 less-than-an-inch-across stars, and then lots of tiny ones, plus two pages of little paper stickers. Maybe I didn't read the small print properly. | 0negative

Diaper Champ? More like Diaper Loser!
I bought the Diaper Champ because it was recommended to us over the Diaper Genie. 2 weeks after using it we decided it wasn't for us. It didn't hold the smells in AT ALL! Tried using scented garbage bags and that didn't help! Our room still stunk! I bought the Diaper Genie and while it does't keep the smells in 100% (you can still smell it when you open it to put another diaper in) and you have to buy the refill bags, it works a lot better than the Diaper Champ and the room smells a lot better than it did before. | 0negative

Extremely pleased
We are very happy with the quality of the sleepsack. I had purchased one 3 yrs ago and while it was great for my baby, I found it cumbersome to use and in the laundry it was always coming apart. They have since modified the design to be easier to use and of much higher quality. We have to wash ours often and I'm very happy with how it is wearing. I close the velcro enclosures before washing so it doesn't stick to everything else in the load. My only complaint is that it seems oddly sized. my baby is big but very short for her age and it seems as though she's growing out of the length before anything else. I am very pleased with the high quality construction of this swaddle and plan on buying the next size up. I would highly recommend this to other parents. | 1positive

Very disappointed - Blue dye came off on her skin!
I have been using Pampers Sensitive Swaddlers diapers and now that my daughter is 6 months old I decided I would try and save some money given her skin may not be as sensitive. The first week in using the Pampers Baby Dry diapers she went wet through it overnight (which she has never done so I assume the absorbency is not as good) and on a different occasion the blue dye on the diaper came off on her skin!! The blue dye coming off on her was the most disappointing. I was so shocked by the difference in quality of this product. I will never use Pampers Baby Dry again and will be going back to Pampers Sensitive Swaddlers its worth the extra $16/month! | 0negative

Terrible Smell and Horrible Rash
We've been getting Pampers Baby Dry from a Wholesale club for a while now, with no problems (my son is 13 months, in size 4). I saw the price on Amazon and with the 30% off, it was a great deal. However, when the box arrived the diapers smelled AWFUL -- chemical-like. I gave them a day to air out, which they did, but in the next few days of using them my son has developed a terrible diaper rash. He has only had tiny rashes 3-4 times in the past, but this one is continuous and awful-looking. We are discontinuing use of these particular ones immediately, and going back to the Wholesale club. I don't think it's Baby Dry, per se, but the shipment that Amazon has. It really upsets me that they would offer inferior diapers at such a reduced price -- they need to be tossed and NEVER touch a baby's skin. | 0negative

Pampers
Works great on my little one. We did try different brands but for some reason Pampers seem to be good fit for her. | 1positive

Not worth it!
I ordered this because of the positive reviews. I shouldn't have bothered. I opened the box and immediately the receivers did not work with batteries - fresh batteries from two separate packages. I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal to just plug the receivers in. I did finally get them working plugged in BUT there was a horrendous humming sound that was just too loud to even be tolerable. I couldn't even hear another adult speaking into the transmitter because of the humming!So, I recommend passing on this one and ordering a different brand. I'm returning this one tomorrow. | 0negative

Never used it, but the sling itself is a better idea alone.
I registered for this 4-in-1 Bath Station by Safety 1st and received 2 of them at my baby shower, so I went to the store to return the extra. But after a little thought I realized how useless the tub itself was- how long do you actually use it?... | 0negative

Not for all babies
My son hates this swing. He never liked it. As mentioned from quite a few other people, it is very difficult to remove a baby w/o hitting their head.My son tore a neck muscle when he was delivered and b/c of that he "tips" to one side, and the toys were always hitting him in the head. It was awful.The swing does move quite quickly, also. Setting #2 was all I could use for a long time b/c it moved so fast.It may fit some babies, but definatley not mine! | 0negative

Do Not Buy - Will Fall Apart in Weeks
I'm warning everyone out there about buying this product. I got it for my[...]son this past Christmas. He is on the autism spectrum and I thought it would be fun for him. He only weighs 40 lbs and is well below the maximum recommended weight for this product.Within a month, the bungee cord that holds the entire trampoline together had snapped, rendering it useless. [...]Two weeks ago, I broke down and paid $[...] for a replacement bungee cord. Today, that snapped as well. Four months after purchasing this product, and with less than two months of actual use, this trampoline is going in the garbage.My son is devastated, and I'm very disappointed in all the money I've wasted on this thing. | 0negative

OK for the money
The highchair was somewhat easy to put together except for the fact that one piece did not quite line up an as a result the screw kept stripping. In installing some of the screw hole covers some of the woodplugs kept falling out. Have some Elmers wood glue ready just in case.Would not reecommend it for everyday. Good for the occasional grandchild visit. | 0negative

I Hate these bottles!
I had added these bottles to my baby registry and also bought a few myself. Well when my son came along these were a nightmare! So many pieces to constantly clean, he had so much gas, they didn't reduce colic at all, and they were horrible to mix formula in! The cleaning didn't get easier since they all melted in the dishwasher and weren't supposed to. These were way too [$$$] and were worthless! I switched to Playtex Nursers [...]! | 0negative

Hated these bottles
I tried Avent bottles since they were so popular. I hated them! They leaked all over my daughter during feeding and made her bib and her soaked by the end. I wonder how much formula she really got. We used Dr. Brown's and they were so much better. Skip Avent and try others! | 0negative

Not worth even one star--this product stinks
I bought the Diaper Champ because I like the idea of re-using grocery bags. But it does not work for poopy diapers. If I put one poopy diaper in the whole room smells immediately. This is a terrible product and I can't believe that other people have given it positive reviews. | 0negative

Longest gate on the market!
This is the longest gate available. I looked for 2 months so I know! I am using this for my daycare and it is great! The only thing is that the attachment pieces that fit together seem easy to crack. The first one I ordered was damaged so just be careful when you put it away or move it so that you don't crack the plastic pieces. Other than that it is very sturdy! | 1positive

A must have!
We purchased the Baby Trend Latch-Loc infant seat for our daughter and a friend told us we should get this stroller frame. I have to admit it is a lifesaver! It is so lightweight but very sturdy. It's easy to set up and wonderful for all those quick trips to stores. I highly recommend it. | 1positive

The best unsought baby shower gift
I hadn't even thought of asking for this item at my baby shower. Another mother who had attended said "I couldn't live without this, so I wanted you to have one too!"At 4 months of age I set it up and he loved it! He has been using it daily ever since, and he is now 8 months old. When he was younger he enjoyed playing with the toys on the tray, but now he just loves the joy of jumping. I like that I don't have to be concerned about a jumper falling from a door frame, this product is so safe! I highly recomend this product to all parents. If I have another child, this is a product I will not do without! Happy Jumping! | 1positive

Best baby snacking product!
I absolutely LOVE this thing!! I was always afraid of feeding my son solids without mashing them to death for fear of him choking. I especially wasnt comfortable giving him hard treats like teething biscuits or cookies. This thing is wonderful, I was able to give him those snacks and fruit and more with out having to worry about choking. It was also great for travel when he was teething, on the airplane we couldnt take fruits and stuff (international flights) but they did give us some ice and he would chomp away at the ice and it made his gums feel a lot better. | 1positive

My Daughter loves the big girl chair

Very flimsy & unimpressed
We bought two of these for our twins, we were unimpressed on how flimsy these were. The cross-bars were very very thin and all the plastic cards were cracked/broken. I ended up making my own: purchased a mobile arm from Amazon (search for mobile holder), printed my own high contrast photos, laminated them, and put them together with fishing wire. My husband cut a dowel to make cross-bars, which I also painted black and white. It was worth the work and I can change out the cards more. | 0negative

Love it
I think this car seat is one of the best. When we were looking to find a toddler car sear for our daughter we couldn't decide on this one or the Britax. They were comparable in safety and features. This one is so so easy to adjust for height and comfy. She always falls asleep in it. Not to mention the price was a lot better. I do however wish that there was diffirent cool covers like what the britax has like leopard print. | 1positive

These diapers are absolutely wonderful. My son has never worn anything but pampers. These allow him to sleep through the night without waking because of leaks. They are advertised as a 12 hour diaper and completely live up to that! | 1positive

I love these bottles and everything Avent!
I bought these bottles before my daughter was born and have never regretted it. I have NEVER had a problem with the bottles leaking and my baby is very happy. She doesn't have gas problems or gas pains. She loves drinking from the bottles and refuses to drink from any other bottle. These bottles are great! | 1positive

I could not live without it!
This is my 2nd light on shoulder sling, the 1st was a baby shower gift and now I bought this one for the spring/summer months ahead. My daughter loves being carried around in it and I also use it to nurse her while I'm shopping or trying to eat myself. All you got to do is through a nursing cover on and you have 2 hands again! I LOVE this sling, and I have had many bad ones I suffered through with my son. Great buy and product! | 1positive

Nice looking...
I bought this glider and ottoman to match the furniture for my babies nursery. It looks great and was very easy to put together. The only problem I have is the seat cushion is not very comfortable. The cushion on the back of the glider is very comfortable and I am hoping with use that the seat cushion will soften up a bit. Other than that, I love it. | 1positive

most useful item
At first we were hesitant to get this since it was slightly higher in price but I am so glad we did. This pillow has a very soft furry cover that comes off for easy cleaning and is absolutely wonderful for feedings, burping and tummy time. We use this more than anything else. | 1positive

The "bottom" line ? These are the best diapers out there !
These are the bigger baby version of Pamper's Swaddlers, so if you are a Swaddlers fan, when you're baby outgrowns them, upgrade to Cruisers. They have the stretchy elastic on the side of the (velcro) tabs, so you get a "custom fit" with every change, and the stretch also allows for movement (when the baby goes to bed with a big, full tummy, it shrinks through the night as food digests - these diapers stay snug, due to the stretchy part, and never leak).Huggies has tried to make their own version, and I gamely tried them, only to find the huge elastic panel on the back to be very poorly fitting, and allows EVERYthing to leak out the back - yuck !Pampers has recently added an open-weave cover inside, to assure that the mess seeps through, then keeps it away from baby's skin, which is a great improvement (and I thought they were great BEFORE !).Yes, they ARE basically the most expensive diapers (although they are equally priced to Huggies, and the like), but as with most things, you get what you pay for. | 1positive

Freestanding pet gate
This is a beautiful, furniture quality gate. It is solidly made. Assembly is easy. It is a height that is easy to step over, so you don't have to move it every time. It is lightweight to move, yet stable, and easy to move from place to place. Changing the width does require unscrewing and repositioning the overlapping ends, then replacing the screws.As to this gate's ability to restrain your dog, it will depend on your dog's personality. Our pug never tried to jump it or push it aside, as a puppy or a 20-pound adult. Our new Yorkie puppy, on the other hand, was either worming her way around it or climbing/jumping it after 3 days, when she weighed four pounds. | 1positive

Britax Preview Stroller
This stroller looks nice and has a lot of stroller storage. I like the extra storage that hangs from the handles. It rolls easily. My complaints are that it is heavy, it is hard to open and hard to close. The first time I used it, it took me 10 minutes to get it open, and no I'm not stupid. We bought this to go with our Britax Companion carseat which we aren't real crazy about either. The carseat snaps in okay, but it normally takes a couple of tries to get it in securely. My last complaint is that the handles don't come up enough for me and I am 5'6. I would recommend trying out another brand after our experiences. | 0negative
