Glad I bought this rack
I am very happy with this rack! You can rearrange the fold down bottle holders to fit more or less bottles, large or small! I also really like the area for bottle accessories in the back. I use the Dr. Brown's bottles, so the two internal pieces from those bottles can be thrown into the accessory portion for drying. It's nice that it comes with a bottle brush that fits perfectly into it's own spot on the rack, so that you don't have to let it hang around the dirty sink getting food particles on it.My favorite part of this rack is that it fits perfectly next to my sink and drains right into the sink. I had originally bought a different rack that didn't drain into the sink, and there was always water sitting in it. We have really hard water where we live, so this rack keeps the water from pooling in it and causing mineral build up.Definitely worth the money! Don't waste your money on cheaper racks like I did--buy this one first and be satisfied from the start! | 1positive

Cruisers still the best for me
I used the Cruisers for all my children and found they were the best, even though they cost a little more. The Baby Dry and Huggies did not have enough "bend" to them so I found them restrictive. These are much softer and flexible. | 1positive

We had a bad batch as well
I used this product while traveling in the U.S. this past summer (normally we use cloth diapers) and the diapers were excellent. Since they are not available locally I decided to order these to use at home as well. Unfortunately we received a bad batch of diapers - nearly half had torn tabs making the diaper unusable. When I reported the issue to Amazon.com, they replaced the order without a hassle. Because of this and because my experience with these diapers except for the bad batch has been excellent, I feel they do deserve the highest rating. No funky smells. No prints. I even get compliments on the color - I think because they look more natural rather than stark white. | 1positive

Good but litle expensive
It is very good but it is becoming little expoensive at amazon as compared to other brands available at stores like costco. | 1positive

NOT FOR BOYS!!!
Actually got this free or I wouldn't have bothered. The stream cup in front is WORTHLESS!!! My son is a new trainer and hasn't learned to "hold it down" yet. He got it all over the floor. Doesn't really fit on the seat anyway. | 0negative

Don't buy this!
My youngest daughter got this as a gift, and it was too difficult to use and we finally threw it away. My oldest daughter bought the Diaper Champ and it was wonderful! | 0negative

The only diapers that work with our twins!
We love Pampers Cruisers! When our twins were born, we tried several brands to find the best value for the money. We quickly learned that Pampers was the only diaper that really worked for us and that buying cheaper imitations wasn't going to save money in the long run. Now we only buy Pampers!It is important to remember that every child's body is different and so different diapers might work better or worse on different bodies. | 1positive

Great Diapers
We used couple of other brand buy by far Baby-Ddry is the best. It really works and keep my boy dry for longer time. I would recomended this any time. Good Luck | 1positive

Depends on your baby
I've been very frustrated with diapers specifically the leaks we have had in just about brand we have tried. Our latest experience was with the Pampers Cruisers the old and dry max version just released. No matter what we tried we had leaks mostly at night. I did call Pampers and they admitted in changing the padding on the cruisers and the new version with dry max would give us what we needed; however, in trying these the leaks were the same. Now our neighbor has the same cruisers and they are having better luck but they are making purchases in stores versus online but I wouldn't think production would be different.Now that same neighbor didn't have a good experience with Pampers Baby Dry as we did so I'm thinking some of it is based on the padding and how your child sleeps. Our daughter tends to sleep with her rear facing upward so I'm thinking the leaks are from that sometimes. These diapers are great, fit her very nicely, and we love the tabs on these as well. I want to note that we have had ZERO leaks with the baby dry diapers so we are extremely satisfied. | 1positive

There's a better alternative!
My husband and I looked into buying this for our vacation. While it looked good, it just seemed like a lot more gear we were bringing with us! Something we were trying to avoid!Yes, it's a car seat, but then you have the wheels attached and the handle, etc. We just wanted to make our trip (& life) easier. We found the TOTEaTOT. It serves the same purpose, but I think it's better. It's two straps, with a built-in backpack, that attaches your child's car seat to your suitcase with wheels which we use as a carry-on.It's a fraction of the price! Just $25. And so much less gear to bring, and we used the backpack once we got to our destination. www.toteatot.com | 0negative

Lives up to Top Rating
With twins we go through many daipers daily, weekly, monthly. Pampers products are superior. We find them to be the best in fit, as well. We get other brands as gifts and use them during the twins hours of activity. But bedtime and naptime we like the peace of mind of Pampers holding power. | 1positive

Great Product!
My son loves this bowl and spoons! The bright colors keep him interested. I havent tried the cup yet, Im waiting a few months for that. Overall good purchase. | 1positive

Great for bathtime
We have used this since my son's umbilical cord fell off. Bathtime is his favorite time of the day, the Safer Bather is perfect. We use it in our kitchen sink and then hang in the garage to dry when we're done. I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want a huge plastic tub taking up room in their house. | 1positive

Love these!
I bought a "Lite On Shoulder" Pouch/Rigs Hybrid Sling, the green batik pattern and loved it! My friends had expensive $100 ring slings and I loved mine so much. It was so comfortable for me and my daughter. I unfortunately misplaced it between babies and had to buy another one. I bought the same kind but in the wine batik pattern. I think I love it even more! So happy with the product and the price. Also, it arrived within a week. Thank you!! | 1positive

Rash after using
We usually use the huggies pure and natural, huggies snug and dry, and pampers swaddlers (both older type and the newer dry max). We used another baby's diapers which were these pampers baby dry, and my son got huge rash splotches in several areas. I had heard about parents complaining about rashes and thought it was only a concern for babies with sensitive skin, but in 10 months this was the first time my son got a rash from the diaper. Glad we don't have a box of these around to throw out! I can't comment on how effective the diapers are on wetness and containment since we don't use them regularly. | 0negative

Sturdy, high quality bags
I think these bags are great. I've been using them for 3 months and have only had one leak, which happened because I dropped the bag (full of frozen milk) on the kitchen floor. I agree with other reviewers that it's silly the perforations that allow you to detach the bag from the pump shield doesn't continue all the way along the bag. Simple fix: instead of detaching the bag using the perforation, simply break the yellow tape that loops around the neck of the shield. Seal the zip-top. Then rip off the top using the perforations - you'll find it's extremely easy to do now and rips off in one clean, straight line. I've never had a spill, leak, or rip doing it this way. | 1positive

Water leaked everywhere!
I typically don't write reviews, but I felt it necessary to do so in this case. I bathe my newborn (6 weeks old) son in this tub on the kitchen table. I've used this about 5 times, with the 5th being the last. The plug came open and leaked ALL of the water onto the table and floor. I thought maybe my son had accidentally knocked the plug out, so I tried it again. No luck, the plug came undone again and doesn't stay closed anymore. Also, this tub is not newborn/infant friendly-I had to have my husband hold my son while I washed him because he would slide around so much in the tub. It was also very difficult to inflate (unfortunately, I had to do it the old fashioned way as I don't have a pump)! I honestly don't have anything positive to say about this tub. Don't buy it! I had to rate this 1 star, I wanted to rate it 0 stars! | 0negative

Good so far...
My son hasn't used it yet, but I'm sure it will be great when he does. It had a lot of good reviews. The only downside I see so far is that he always wants to lift the tray out and play with it. I'm hoping he won't do that when there is "stuff" in there. | 1positive

REALLY WANTED TO LOVE THIS BUT...
Hey guys.I love that these diapers are thin to start with and also holds a lot however I will not purchase again after these 2 boxes I recently ordered are finished. Here's why:Although these diapers are thin & sits high on waist ( so the strap doesn't rub against sons thigh and cause bruising..as occurred with the huggies brand) The BIGGEST fallback is that it is made up of silicone particles ( the absorbent) in the diaper itself and when wet, if child runs around ( like my VERY active toddler) then the diaper tears and the silicoe particles fall out the side.Today was the 5th time this has happened in the space of 2 weeks. I DO change his diapers frequently and now I do it even more than I did with the huggies in fear that the silicone will fall out and give him a rash or dirty the floor. It is a mess to clean up, there's silicone 'powder' everywhere.Tonight I've pretty much had it with these diapers. My son (19months) was running around kicking his ball and when it was time to change him, there was a big glob of silicone at the foot of his pants. Luckily he was wearing his thermal pants so the elastic band was very close fitting to his ankles and this is what kept the majority, not all, of the silicone within his pants and off the carpet.In summary. These diapers and thin and does not leak BUT these 2 factors do not make up for the huge downfall of having silicone particles all over the place. Thank God he has not gotten a rash from it as yet.I do not recommend this specific type (Baby dry) of pampers because I have not tried the other types from Pampers. | 0negative

Don't believe previous reviewers, EASY to install
This is a great car seat. After we bought the 1st for my 7 month old, we liked it so much, we replaced our 2 year old's car seat with this one as well. I'm not sure why others are having a hard time installing this car seat, unless they have never installed one before. If it takes you 3 hours, you obviously haven't a clue, and should go to the CHP, and have them install for you in 5 minutes. It took me about 10-15 minutes to install this rear facing in a 2002 Sonata w/ latch. It was no harder or easier than any of the other car seats I have installed. The seat is well cushioned and the belts don't twist as easily as some others. BTW, the belts can tighted plenty, and the buckles are ingenious and easy to use as are other Cosco car seats. I really can't understand the reviews people give based on one day with the car seat. My 2 year old likes it AND it keeps her very safe. What more do you want? All in all, a great seat! | 1positive

Gross
I hate the NEW diaper genie. The refills are very hard to cut when the pail fills up. Also when it is emptied it smells sooo bad....take it outside before you even open it. Lastly....I had olny had about 5 diapers in there and they were all pee diapers and I opened it and there were bugs inside!!! Do not get this. I would reccommend the Diaper Champ or simply a small can with a doedorizer or air freshener, Safety 1st has a nice one. | 0negative

Very convenient
I bought this wrap to help get some back support while carrying baby. it was pretty good! the only caveat is my baby doesnt want to stay in the carrier for long.and i guess u can only use this at home, because if you are outside and want to take baby out, you have to unwrap the whole thing, a cumbersome process in the middle of a road. | 1positive

We love Pampers!
We just love Pampers. We've had absolutely no blowouts or leaks. They hold a lot of pee so they're great for babies who are sleeping through the night or at least sleep for long periods. They're soft and fit well. I've heard bad things about Huggies and Luvs are almost as good as Pampers, but I think we're a Pampers family for life! (Well, at least until she's out of diapers.) | 1positive

Great for occasional use
**********EDITED TO ADD: I contacted Medela at the advice of my lactation consultant. The customer service agent was extremely helpful. She explained that if the container of milk ever overflows (for example, if you're watching TV and not watching the milk level in the bottle), it can damage the pump. Medela immediately sent me a brand new pump at no charge, and with careful attention to make sure the milk never overflowed, it worked very well. Medela really should add this information to the instruction manual so that users are aware of the potential problem. I would definitely recommend this pump to occasional users.***************This pump sounded like a good fit for me - I only needed to pump occasionally to have some extra milk in the refrigerator. And at first, it worked great. I have a steady and plentiful milk supply, and I had no problem pumping 10-12 ounces of milk at a time.However, those easy days only lasted a few weeks. After 2-3 weeks of using it perhaps 4 times a week, I noticed I wasn't able to pump as much. My milk supply is still going strong - the problem is the pump. The motor seems to have weakened gradually over the two months I've had it, and now I'm lucky to get three ounces of milk first thing in the morning. It pumps so little milk later in the day that it isn't even worth hooking up.The pump is loud, as other reviewers have noted, but I don't think it's all that bad. If you're going to be pumping regularly at work, this isn't the pump for you, anyway, because the motor is so weak.I would NOT recommend wasting your money on this pump. You won't get more than 20 or so uses out of it before the pump is so weak as to be useless. If, like me, you can't really afford $300+ on a "good" pump, look into renting a hospital pump from your hospital or lactation consultant. That's what I'll be doing. | 0negative

terrified!!!!!! Extremely dangerous!!!!!!!!
I have a very active 1 year old, I got this gate and put at the bottom of the stairs, I was happy thinking my son wouldn't go up the stairs so I turned my head for two minutes, and when I turned around my son was on top of the gate standing on the middle bar with his head almost on the other side, about to cross to the other side!!!!! thank God it was sturdy!! if not my son would have had a terrible fall!!!!!! I got so scared I returned it immediatly for me it was extremely dangerous!!! DO NOT GET IT IF YOUR CHILD IS ACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 0negative

Great Diaper
These diapers work as well as national, bleached brands. Once I figured out cloth diapers, much to my dismay, were not going to work for us I sought out the next best thing. I did very briefly have the issue like another reviewer of the tabs making a mark on the baby's leg. A simple adjustment upward solved that problem. These diapers don't leak and my baby's bottom remains free and clear of any rash. | 1positive

Worst High Chair Ever!
I registered for this high chair without doing much research on it. Someone bought it for us and I decided to put it together. It took me an hour to set up (being 9 months pregnant). Finally my husband came in to help and he even had trouble assembling it. The directions were unclear and it took a full size male to assemble especially putting the legs together. The wheels did not slide across out wood floors and made a scratching sound. I fear after months of use the wheels would scratch our floors. Yes, the brakes were off the wheels. The padding is very hard to put on the chair and I can only assume would be a pain to clean if food was under it. Finally I got tired of it and tried to take it apart. I eventually gave up and brought it back partially dis-assembled. I am going to exchange it for a Chicco high chair, which I have heard great things about. I only wish that I had read the recviewes before I put it together. No emotional pregnant women should ever try to assemble that!! Don't buy this chair and save yourself the trouble!! | 0negative

NOT for boys...save your money
I bought this potty seat originally when I was potty training my daughter and it was "ok"...my daughter liked the characters on it, but it wasn't super stable. For the parent, there's a lot of nooks and crannies to clean, so I wasn't crazy about it. But it was functional.Now that I'm potty training my son...it's just AWFUL. First of all, the urine guard is too low so that it makes it worthless. So then, if you try the method where you have your son point his penis down and cross legs (or even just have his legs closer together), the urine guard hurts his legs. My son refuses to use this seat and says it hurts, hence it is now in the garbage. | 0negative

Love this bedding
I needed a toddler bedding set for my two year old and this one was just perfect. It is made out of the same minky dot material as her blankie so she doesn't even need the blankie to fall asleep anymore. She tells me every night that it's so cozy ;) I LOVE that it is secured at the bottom of both the sheets and comforter with elastic so that the sheets don't come out. Can't say enough about this set!! Would highly recommend it! | 1positive

Fabulous Product!
These things are indispensable for moms of new babies. They come in quite a few colors and fabrics, so you can get ones that are appropriate for any season. We had about 6 that we used for my son up until his 8 month birthday or so when he decided he didn't want to be swaddled while sleeping and graduated to regular blankets. They wash & wear very well and are especially great for parents (like us) who never quite mastered the art of forming a 'baby burrito' with a regular blanket. I bought 2 of these for a friend with a new baby and highly recommend them! | 1positive

Could not function without it.
The Boppy is invaluable for breastfeeding, especially when babies are small and you're worried about breaking their fragile necks if you're a paranoid first-time mom. It works well for bottle feeding too if that's how you roll.Additionally, this is one of the only ways my baby would nap. If you place a receiving blanket over/around the Boppy and tuck it in, it creates a taut hammock that my baby loved. I put it in his Pack n Play like this and since he has reflux/congestion it was much better for his sleeping patterns. The tag says not to let babies sleep in the Boppy - just use common sense and supervise your baby. This is perfect for newborn naps with the receiving blanket acting as a hammock. | 1positive

Great fun for two and four year olds
We purhcased this trampoline for Christmas and my girls have been using it quite often since and love it. On hardwood flooring it does tend to slide around a little so I think it's best on a throw rug or carpet for security.We did notice after only a few days the blue comfort fabric on the handle was starting to tear in one area. I emailed MMP (the seller) and within a week they sent me a whole new handle. I was quite happy with their customer service. | 1positive

This monitor will make you crazy
This is the second monitor we purchased. I was told this was the best one out there (by friends) and boy were they wrong. First of all, it clicks constantly and when it's not clicking the static takes its place. Each receiver takes 4 AA batteries and they don't last long at all. It works terrible in any kind of storm. We are taking this back. Buy the Sony one! Same price! | 0negative

Not universal for Joovy strollers!
I bought this for our Joovy Ergo Caboose and it doesn't fit--perhaps there's fine print in the literature stating as much, but wish I had known before I went to the trouble of ordering it. Looks like a nice organizer--too bad it is going back to Amazon, and I'm going back to the drawing board. | 0negative

Too big for me but great item.
This is a great product but it is just too big for me. If you are 5'5" inch. and below please do not get this cause it will look like a sack on you. My baby was terrified and looked uncomfortable in it. She cried everytime I put her inside. Practice makes perfect but eventually my baby & I got tired of using this. | 0negative

not worth the money
While this is cute and colorful, the toys are too out of reach to be useful. My daughter struggles to grab them and gets frustrated. I've resorted to attaching other toys for her to play with. Take a look at the user pictures, most of them don't even have the aquarium viewer attached, or the child is in a trance watching the bubbles. Find a bouncer that will challange your child as they grow and start grabbing. | 0negative

One of the best Christmas Gifts
I originally got this gift from my cousins for Christmas. The card said " I know this looks like it's for the baby, but it's really for you - hopefully this will help YOU sleep." I had a one-month old in the house, waking at all hours of the night, me trying to work full time and go to school, I knew the value of a good's night rest, and frankly, I missed it. My husband and I were working on getting Jack to sleep threw the night. The first time I played this for Jack was while he was eating. And I continued to do so for a week. One night after that he woke up in the middle of night, and I turned on the music ("Combination") and Jack cried for about 5 minutes and started making his sucky face and fell asleep. After that the rest is history! | 1positive

In general, a very nice stroller.
I purchased this stroller, mainly because I have 2 children that are both under 2 years old. I am very picky on design & loved how the matching car seatlooked, especially paired with this stroller. So, now that I finally was able to purchase it, here's the review.-It came shipped in the original box from Graco. I was able to easily gather all pieces/parts to assemble the remaining setup needed in a fast amount of time.-Once all parts were located, I put the stroller together myself in roughly 20 minutes (which only took that long because my 3 month kept fussing, so I had to tend to her in the middle of this) - it was extremely easy to put together and most of it is very common sense stuff.-Zero issues folding it down at all. Some strollers, like our last Evenflo Circus design one for our 1st child would often stick when pulling the lever to fold it. This does not do that at all. It's very easy. Also, unfolding it is easy as well. No issues whatsoever.-The day after receiving this, it was put to the test for an all-day outing to the mall, and various other stores. Maneuvering it around places that are straight shots are obviously better. When we got into tiny stores with many clothes racks or displays, it did seem a little on the larger side, but I figure that's just to be expected with a double stroller.-We use the back part for the infant car seat, and place our 18 month old in the front. When the car seat is placed like that on the back, there is absolutely NO room for adjustment to the front seat. You can ONLY leave it placed in the most upright position, which is completely vertical. My son didn't seem to mind, but I'm sure it would've been quite uncomfortable for him had he fallen asleep (maybe that's WHY he didn't fall asleep though...)-The car seat placed in the back does create the back part to become very snug. Getting the car seat out, until you thoroughly get used to doing it a few times, is a little tough... my fiance still has me doing it because he claims it's too hard for him. I don't feel it's impossible, but you just have to work at it.-IMPORTANT: When the car seat is placed in the back part, I cannot see my 18-month old AT ALL in the front. While at F.Y.E (an entertainment store) in the mall, my son grabbed a DVD off their shelf. I didn't see him do this at all. When I went to leave the store, the alarm sounded, and sure enough, I busted him trying to steal the movie (I know, he didn't know what he was doing... but still!) This could've been prevented had I been able to see him clearly.-After that whole thing mentioned above happened, we decided at the next stop to utilize the back seat as the carriage feature for our 3-month old. It's very nice. Doing this allowed us to be able to recline his seat a lot, making him completely viewable in our eyesight. She loved laying down comfortably in the back and looked snug as a bug too. (This was only a pain, because we had to fasten her back in her car seat once we got to the vehicle, which kind of sucks only because she was nice & toasty in the stroller, then had to be moved into a very cold car & car seat. It was also dark out by that point, so trying to attach all the seat buckles was a tiny chore too. This may not bother some people at all, and I quickly got over it).-When stored in the car in its folded state, it stands at that point approx. 2.5 to 3 feet tall. Know that for if you have a small trunk. If you are expecting it to be completely flat or you need a stroller smaller than 1-2 feet, get another stroller, as this one will NOT work for you.-In general, I'm very pleased with this purchase and I will be more than happy adjusting to the differences I have with this stroller that I've mentioned in this review. I really do like this stroller. | 1positive

totally badass!! I love it!!
I originally bought this bag thinking of my husband, but I love it too!! We both love the design, it has a lot of storage space and is functional too. I really love the handy wipe container and changing pad in the back pocket! It's definitely durable and will put up with a lot of use! I would recommend this bag for sure!! | 1positive

Tummy fun
My daughter has really enjoyed this mat. In the beginning she would just sort of check out the fish(she looooves fish), but over time her ability to interact with it has greatly increased. Now-4mnths- she pushes around on the fish with great joy even making fun bubbles. It is a great first tummy time toy. The pillow velcros on so you can remove it if your little one wants to practice holding themselves up or just for a wash. As far as the new water everyday thing goes. I was good about that in the beginning believing it might turn green or fog up or something. It turns out nothing horrible will happen if you don't change it very often. Actually the ability to empty it is helpful if you plan on taking it with to say grandma's house. Very easy to roll up and take with unlike our playmat. The little sun could be easier to activate bubble noise. A little hard for the little bitty ones. Toys are still good for crinkling and chewing though. | 1positive

Adjusts to baby's needs
Easy to clean, easy to maneuver. This chair is sometimes the only place my 3 month old daughter wants to sleep, from the time she first came home until now. She still loves it and the vibration is great and toy bar are great. I only wish the music lasted longer and that the toy on the side didn't pop out so easily. | 1positive

Convenient, stylish and non-marring
We have two of these gates and love them! Unlike some of the other reviewers, we have never had any problems with the pedals breaking. The gate enables easy access in highly trafficked areas - no need to rest a sleeping baby on your knee because you need your hands! I particularly like that we didn't have to drill holes into our walls or woodwork. One of the gates goes across a hallway with baseboards. We did have to place a piece of wood between the wall and upper gate mount to ensure stability. Otherwise, however, this gate is secure and looks good, too. | 1positive

Good in theory...
I was really excited to receive this from Target (via Amazon) in the mail (arrived in a week, not to bad!) and since my baby has a bad habit of dropping his toys to the floor where he can no longer reach them, thought this would be great.Well... it's good when he's in a good mood, not squirming, and not upset. Once he decides he no longer wants to be in the seat, he starts to arch his back, and the try pops/slides off, but not before pinching my son's leg first.If it didn't cost 1/2 as much as the original cost to send it back to Amazon - I would...Really mom's take my word on this: Bumbo seat = GREAT! Tray for Bumbo, waste of time and money. | 0negative

not practical
It's useful in the house, but not practical for anything else. If I wear it out on a walk with the baby, we are both sweating (i tend to be cold, but there really is a lot of fabric!). I can't use it outside the house because it drags on the floor when you are trying to put it on (which can be difficult by yourself as it is). But if you are in your clean air-conditioned house, it is useful especially for newborns. My two month old does not like it unless she is nursing to sleep, but then I always wake her up getting her out! So, useful but in limited settings. | 0negative

Good Design, Poor Fabric and Finish
Although "The First Years 5 in 1 Carry Me Near Sleep System" isn't washable, overall, I didn't have a problem with the design, but unfortunately, the quality of the fabric and the poor craftsmanship warranted my returning it. Regarding the craftsmanship, in my opinion, the quality of the sewing and stitching is way below grade, and the absense of bar tacks is a clear sign of cost cutting. If you're looking for a heirloom piece, The First Years 5 in 1 Carry Me Near Sleep System isn't for you, for sure. | 0negative

We have both an Urban and the Lite Bundle Me. I'm glad we bought both! The thicker Urban has been great in the colder weather. It's thicker, and so stiffer, than the Lite, which makes it easier for me to zip up in the carseat and then fold the 'flap' down to leave my daughter's face exposed. In windy, cold or nasty weather I bring the flap up to cover her completely for the short outdoor time between car and destination.The Lite is flimsier, and was perfect for early Fall and I'm starting to use it in the stroller for warmer winter days. I personally prefer the stiffer Urban, but the Urban is so much warmer than the Lite I'm glad to have both.Switching the 2 is very easy and takes only a minute or two.With both versions, we just put on a hat and the baby is ready to go! No jackets or snowsuits needed.We also have a set of Cushy Straps (cute fleece animal-shaped covers for the stroller/carseat straps that cushion the straps AND help keep the child's head from lolling around) and those help keep the top of baby from being too exposed when you have the Bundle Me folded down or partially unzipped. | 1positive

Wonderful
This is the best! My little one has been sitting in it since she was about 4 months old and loves it. She's just now started to really jump in it. It's a arm saver for me too since she likes to jump while we let her stand in our laps. My biggest reason for buying this was because i felt it was safer than the ones that hang from the doorway. In fact we borrowed a friend's when we were at their house that hung from the door and she didn't like it as much. She couldn't stay still if that makes sense...it would spin her around too much. Well worth the money for me! | 1positive

Starting peeling apart just days after it arrived
It's a nice looking diaper bag that isn't covered with silly cartoons and looks more like a purse. But the quality of the bag is terrible. The back part of the bag started to peel and then the front pockets. I threw it away a before I'd had it for a month. | 0negative

Waste..
We purchased this swing in August 2011 (our third son was born July 2011). First off, it is adorable, love the lights, but the motor is incredibly loud! The first week was fine with the swing, but then it started to slow. With our 9 pound, three week old son, this swing was not strong enough to rock him unless on full speed, and even then it was mild. About two months later, we would often have to give the swing 'pushes', or restart it, to make it swing again. Now, a few days ago (end of December), the motor has completely died and it will not swing anymore. The lights and music still work and we have tried plugging it into different outlets, but no luck. I have noticed quite a few other reviews talking about faulty motors and calling Fisher-Price for replacements. I will give that a try and update about the response.Also, he does grab the netting and suck on it a lot, which makes it get caught in the mobile making an awful clicking noise. I've seen a few other reviews talking about the netting and it falling apart creating choking hazards.. contemplating whether it is even worth it to have a replacement motor, or just scrap the swing along with all of its problems. | 0negative

Soft Flannel Cloud
We just love this blanket. Received as a gift from our registry, yet we figured we had enough blankets, but it's very different from the rest. Besides being organic cotton, it's very soft, much larger than most receiving blankets, allowing us to swaddle our baby loosely or tightly as needed, or just to wrap her up over her clothes/outerwear for very cold days when we go outside. It's like a soft cloud of flannel around her. Great as a light weight drape over her when we're nursing. I would definitely give this as a gift knowing how much we use ours. | 1positive

Didn't like this item
This tray was hard to use, it has to be strapped around the child while sitting in the seat. My son didn't like the belt around him and the tray never really went flat. | 0negative

Bad product. Do not buy
This bottle warmer melted the first bottle we tried. It was a bottle made for the medela pumps, so not cheap plastic or anything like that. It also says in the instructions that standard size bottles are 4 or 8 oz. The Gerber and medela bottles are made for 5 oz and I think those are standard size. We tried to adjust it accordingly but the milk got too hot. It is too hard to use. Will be returning it. | 0negative

Good for up to a year only.
We bought this since my sister was using it for her new daughter and having no problems with it. Well up to a year it was fine, but now the whole room stinks so horribly we can't leave it in the room. A couple times now I've cleaned it, sprayed it with clorox disinf. spray, and after putting a few diapers in it again the stink in his room is intolerable. We don't feed him anything out of the ordinary either. If you don't mind the possibility of having to go buy another pail after some time then this is all no biggie, but if you can't easily afford that- then don't do it. | 0negative

Battery eater
I received this as a gift when our daughter was about a month old. We have hardly used it, but it has still drained through 2 sets of batteries (4 AA) very quickly. It did turn on when she cried, but was too quiet to actually soothe her. There is no volume adjustment, and the only sounds it makes are the 'womb' sounds. I think the changing color lights are neat to watch, but unfortunately they haven't really captured our baby's attention. Since it drains batteries so quickly, we likely won't be using it much except to watch the colored lights occasionally for entertainment. | 0negative

Sooo soft!
I love these pads! I had unbelievably sore nipples and was using comfort gel pads, which was great at first, but they're so expensive! A friend of mine gave me two of these pads, just to try, and I love them! I thought there was no way they would be more comfortable than gel, but they are great! These are thin, the lanolin makes it much more comfortable on your nipples, it's not goopy (like when you try to apply lanolin on a dry pad) and they're super soft. I have tried Lansinoh pads, johnson & johnson, and madela; because I can't find first years where we have recently moved. Nothing compares to these pads! Lansinoh is a close second. If you want a pad that's thin and absorbent, Lansinoh are nice.First year pads are thicker and plusher, but they keep their shape, they aren't bulky, and they're super soft! Plus the lanolin in the pad make it much more gentle on your nipples. And you don't get as cottony fibers stuck to you, as you do when you use lanolin and dry pads. Plus I leak a lot when I nurse and these have never leaked through or gotten messy. But neither has Lansinoh... | 1positive

Makes a thoughtful shower gift!
I only wish these things were around when my child was an infant. We had alot of trouble keeping her head up during the first month, before her neck muscles were strong enough to keep it up herself.This is a great device, something useful. I bought this for a baby shower gift. | 1positive

Hummm
If you don't mind a constant humm, this is a great monitor.It picks up sound from baby's room great but that darn humm is so annoying.Every night we play the game of the volume high enough that you can hear the baby, but low enough that the humm doesn't keep us awake.Is it that hard to make a quiet monitor? | 0negative

Pampers
I have used nothing but Pampers on my boys since they were in the hospital and they are now 19 months old. They work fabulous!! We have had no problems. Highly recommend these diapers! | 1positive

This product was very disappointing
I purchased this product as I have had twin girls.They were preemies and only weighed 4 lbs.At first it seemed great, quick and easy but after only 5 months (3months birthweight for preemies) the handle bars started to bend from the weight of my small babies. It became so bad that the metal started to snap. I called and complained to the company and they refunded my money and told me I needed to lift the end up any slight kerb(don't know how they think you can do that when you're by yourself). I have seen other peoples whose are doing the exact same thing. They have a great idea for us twin moms but they need to reinforce the metal.....if you didn't realize the metal was bending it could be quite dangerous if it snapped. | 0negative

better than buying an adapter!!
Our #1 choice for stroller is Baby Jogger city mini but we wanted a Grace snugride for infant car seat. Baby Jogger sells an adapter which will allow the snugride to stay on the jogger. The adapter costs $50. We quickly realize that the Graco stroller frame was also $50 so we bough the frame instead. This way, we pay the same price but technically have 2 strollers (should come in handy when baby #2 arrives). My son is now 4 months and we've been super happy with the decision. If you are considering buying an adapter to connect infant car seat with another stroller.. consider getting the stroller frame 'cause it just might be cheaper and better! | 1positive

Good Design
This is my second pack n play, for the second kid. This model is newer and it is lighter and does not have the arched head and foot sides like the old one - an improvement on the design. It is easier to move and shorter for bending over. One trick when assembling: snap the top bars into place first then pull the bottom flat. | 1positive

Good seat for the price
I got this based on it's high ratings. I found a few problems with it, but overall it was a good buy. The car seat was a little heavy, by itself, add an infant into the mix, you have to be very strong to lift and carry for any amount of time. I didn't like the handle either. It was awkward to maneuver into a carrying position. However, the features that I did like, the material, the easy adjust straps, ease of cleaning and getting unattached from the base totally override the bad things. I am expecting again and am looking to buy a Baby Trend car seat again, just can't beat those ratings for the money!!! | 1positive

LOVE this blanket!
This blanket is ideal for picnics at the park and days at the beach. I use it so often that I keep it in my trunk. It's a good size (would easily hold a family of 4-6 sitting up), super easy to keep clean (just wipes off), truly waterproof, and folds up easily. I also love the shoulder strap - makes it easy to carry around. Highly recommended! | 1positive

You get what you pay for
This gate is inexpensive, which is great, but it is difficult to use unless you enjoy jumping over it a lot. The "memory" feature that is supposed to make it easy to release and replace once you've got it set up doesn't work at all. The process of tightening the gate back down removes the bar that is supposed to keep its "memory."In addition, it is very difficult to get a snug fit in any doorway, since you can't use the level to spread it out, you've got to push with your hands and risk mashing your knuckles, which I did a number of times. Eventually, I just gave up and now I essentially lean it against the door frame. This works well enough, but I wouldn't recommend this gate to anyone. | 0negative

GREAT FOR SEALING IN MOISTURE
I USE THIS AS PART OF MY NIGHT TIME REGIMENT. I APPLY MY NIGHT TIME FACIAL CREAM THEN I PUT THIS ON TOP OF IT. IT SEALS IT ALL IN FOR A DEEP MOISTURIZING EXPERIENCE :o) | 1positive

Nice and Comfy
This does it's job. I have to scrub the seat with a Magic Eraser because a normal wash cloth sometimes will not remove the food. | 1positive

Fantastic!
We got this monitor as a gift from my in-laws, and I absolutely love it! We live in a small house, but my son's room is still far enough away that it's hard to hear him from my bedroom at night. This monitor is so perfect for us. I put the camera above his crib and the monitor right next to my bed, and I can just roll over and see how he's doing whenever I get one of those panicky-mom moments. I'd certainly suggest this to any new mom looking for a monitor. | 1positive

Great Seat - BAD INFORMATION
I recently order the Cosco Summit High Back seat for my son. I did not realized until after I received the seat that this is only a forward facing seat! My son is six months old an my understanding is that he needs to be rear-facing until 1 year. I had to do a lot of Google searching on this item to find out that it is a forward only seat. It is not clearly spelled out until you get into the actual product manual.I liked the seat and my son fit fine (he's a big kid), but it is very hard to determine what seats work for what parameters (weight, height, age, forward, back, booster, latch, etc). I wish the industry came out with some sort of color code / number system that parents could make a quick determination if the seat was going to meet their needs. I think this would cut down in the reported high rate of "incorrect" car seat installations. | 1positive

Dangerous and frustrating....
I guess we should have known, having had poor experiences with Safety First products in the past, but even with that past experience, we were dumbfounded at the cheaply made, poorly designed garbage that is this system. I guess, if you don't love your children, and you don't care for your beautiful cabinetry, go out and buy one of these....or five. We installed it, it didn't work. We returned it. We are very unhappy! | 0negative

Not a nursing pillow.
This pillow is great for sitting your baby on your lap or for letting him nap on your lap. It's even better to prop your baby up with for tummy time or to sit. It's not great however for nursing. I talked to a lactation consultant and found that the Boppy was NEVER designed to be a nursing pillow. It was terrible for my back. I couldn't get our baby aligned properly which was very stressful just starting out nursing. I had to prop pillows under both sides to try to get it right. At my lactation appointment they had a My Brest Friend pillow. This pillow is fantastic. It keeps the baby aligned properly with your breast. Which makes it so much easier to get your baby latched on correctly. I have a My Brest Friend at home and in my car for going out. I have been successfully nursing for going on 9 months now. I would never have gotten this far with the Boppy. Please, try the My Brest Friend instead.*For nursing I give this pillow a rating of 1 star. However, as a pillow to prop your baby for tummy time or to sit up I give this pillow a 4 star rating. All together a rating of 3 stars.* | 0negative

Works perfectly
We love this sturdy, easy gate. It works best in a doorway that you want closed off for sure. It's not so easy to take up and down quickly. | 1positive

Absorbent, comfortable, and cute
We are very happy with these diapers. We have tried Huggies, Pampers, and some store brands, and Pampers have been best for us. While blowouts are not entirely avoidable, there seem to be fewer with the Pampers. These Cruisers fit our daughter well - she can stretch in all directions, which is great for our little one learning to get around on her own. Leaks are not a problem. We can feel warmth as soon as she goes, which makes me think the moisture is wicked farthest away from her skin very quickly. We recommend them! | 1positive

I agree with the other reviews - a joke!
I am returning this. It is ULTRA distorted and all but impossible to position. I thought it was just me until I read this page (bought locally). The only thing I can tell from the mirror on those rare occasions it's actually showing my son is whether or not his pacifier is in his mouth. Do I see a white dot or not? But it moves constantly and is a less true reflection than a fun house mirror! | 0negative

Must have baby item
Aside from the ease of feeding baby and the ability to keep baby from choking - this is a parent's dream for dining out. My husband and I love to go to resturants but don't think it's fair to make other diners listen to noisy or crying children. With careful timing (ie, not near naptime, before dinner but not too far before) and this feeder we were able to resume dining out at will without disturbing other patrons or creating an insane mess for the server to clean up. By popping a variety of items from our plate in the feeder, our older daughter kept herself entertained and became used to eating out. We would feed her after we left, and she would snack on the feeder while we dined. Now we are ordering more for our second child, and our 4 year old has fantastic resturant manners because she is so used to going out and being expected to behave. | 1positive

Sturdy, but easy to break during installation
This rail is a long piece of wood that screws directly into the crib legs. The problem is that a thin piece of wood is designed to go around the legs on each side, to hold it more securely into place. The piece of wood is overly thin, though, and breaks off if you are not extremely careful during assembly and shipping. | 0negative

Very Difficult To Use
This product is too complex and has too many pieces. It also smells bad and the plastic nipple has a strange smell/taste. My baby just rejects this trainer cup while using other easily. It doesn't flow consistently and requires alot of work to use. The handle isn't fix -- it rotates all over the place making it tough for the baby to use. | 0negative

great value for thr price paid
i had been looking everywhere for a rocking chair but found them too pricey. For the convenience of having his chair delivered to my home and the price, this deal is VERY hard to beat! It's quite comfortable (only had it for a month) and everyone who has tried it liked it! Only minus - cannot wash the beige fabric of the cushions... | 1positive

not what we expected
quality was ok, but wasn't what we expected, wouldnt work right for my wife. she is 5'4" and petite (except for the belly now...lol) but you could take two regular pillows for much less money and put them in front and back and achieve better results. | 0negative

This is the best gate for your money!
We bought this gate to keep our toddler from going down the hallway. It has been a wonderful tool and I highly recommend it. The only thing that has happened is every once in a while the pressure mountings seem to get loose. However, it doesn't take anything to tighten them up again. The gate has never budged as far as coming lose from the wall. We have been very, very pleased with this gate and it swings open and closed at least 200 times a day at our house!! | 1positive

Baby Gate
I really like this product. It is very sturdy and the latch that opens it cannot be opened by my son. He has figured out the latches on all of our other baby gates. This gate is also attractive and doesn't take away from the decor. Great product. | 1positive

okay, you get what you pay for
I received this as a gift. I was registered for the baby bjorn. Since it was a gift I decided to keep it. I used it once. It was horrible. it was hot outside, but my 6 week old daughter was sweating in it. It says it's breathable, but in 80 degree weather it was too hot. Also it made my back sore. Okay for quick trips, but if going out for several hours I suggest investing some money in an adjustable baby sling or pouch like Maya Wrap. There's several brands out there. | 0negative
