I really thought that I would like this pack n play, and it matched the swing I chose. However, I would not recommend this product to a friend. Sure, it's easy to set up, but good luck ever getting it back into the travel bag!It has wheels, which would be really convenient, if it fit through average-sized doorways. The changing table is low, and can be hard to fold. The matress pad is desig...

The Playskool Busy basics Swing N Score Baseball has a generally good idea backingit, but the reality is a little lessimpressive. The box says ages 9 months and up. I got it for my one year old, and she is not near ready to play with this game. I had my doubts when I purchased t, but being baseball fans, we held out hope. It's true, however, that she just doesn't get it. After a couple ...

HSBC direct is the most conveniant savings account I have ever had. It makes it easy, and even fun. to save those pennies. Because of the low overhead, online operation, and limited services available, this company can give you a great interest rate on your money. I signed up when the rate was 4.5%, and it is now 4.25, which is still an amazing rate for a savings account. It's easy to sign ...

My husband was student as well as a full-time business man from the time I met him until just recently. He has finally graduated, and it's thanks in part to Sallie Mae. Going to college can be very expensive, and if you have to pay for it yourself, you may sometimes find yourself wondering if you can do it anymore. That is where this company can help. Applying for a loan is easy, and you ca...

Chrysler Financial is an excellent company, committed to helping its customers drive away happy. With a variety of options in merchandise, as well as payment options, you can't go wrong here. I have been leasing my 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport from Chrysler Financial for nearly two years. During that time, I have always been able to reach a well-informed representative if I have questions regard...

This little machine has saved me so much time, and it is so conveniant, you will never forget to use it. with just a little bit pf preparation, you can have a clean floor all the time, and it ...

My daughter LOVED this walker. Between 5 and 10 months of age, we used it every day. This walker is sturdy, and can take a beating, as we all know kids will do. It is conveniant in that you can fold it up and take it anywhere, or store it under a bed or in a closet. The colors are good for a boy or girl, so you can use it with several different children. Even with my dog chasing it and biting a...

The LaepFrog Learning Band Walker is, in my experience, a great investment. We had a Fisher Price walker before this one, and it was not strong enough for our child. It was wobbly, and more than once, I saw her fall over with it. That is NOT the case with the LeapFrog. It is strong and well-made, not to mention enchanting to the child. They will be so proud when they take off on a cruise with t...

The Graco Lovin Hug Swing is one of the lowest-prices swings a parent can find. This, of course, means that it comes with fewer options. However, if you are in the market for a nice-looking, simple to use  swing that soothes a baby, this is a great deal. This product is easy to put together, and has a big, cozy chair that really does hug your little one. It has several different speed...

     This monitor gives you a way to actually BUY peace of mind. I'm a light sleeper, and when my baby started tummy sleeping, I was getting no rest. With this monitor, I know that I will be awakened if my child is no longer breathing, and that to me is priceless.      This baby monitor is easy to set up, and really works. When you use batteries,...

At around four months of age, my baby got very, very bored. I needed something new and exciting for her, and exersaucer was just the thing. There is SOOOO much for them to do! This exersucer is so interactive, educational, and fun! Ther are 18 acivites to keep your little one busy. It spins, bounces, and makes plenty of noise. It has volume controls for mom and dad, and lively music for ba...

Ministar shoes are just like the more expensive brands (i.e. Jack and Lilly). However, they cost about half as much. And let's face it, babies outgrow their shoes long before they are worn out, so why pay more? These adorable shoes come in many different designs for both boys and girls. I like them because they are soft soled, and therefore easy to walk around in. They also have some stretc...

There is a reason this is abest selling toy. At my house, this toy was so exciting because it was the first thing my little daughter really loved. She would play with it for as long as we would let her. The toys are abundant and brightly colored, and the mat can be used for tummy or back play. It is convenient, as it can fold up for easy storage or travel, and it is easy to wash should there be...

I like Pampers for a lot of reasons. I like them because they are thicker than the less-expensive brands, and because they seem to fit the shape of my child better. They do not leak. Really. They don't. In my experience, cheap diapers leak. They gap. They always will. True, Pampers diapers are the most expensive brand. Who wants to pay extra for something we use for such a disgusting task, ...

This little lawnmower is cute. My daughter received it for her first birthday,a nd she was very excited before we even got it out of the box. It's sturdy enough, and it has some cool features, like sound effects when you start the mower. It's a little disappointing that it is so small. The box boasts fun for ages 12-36 months, but my one-year old already towers over the thing. I can'...

When I married my husband, I apparently also married everything he had "always done" before I entered the picture. So began my forced marriage into Farm Bureau Insurance. It was fine when he was the guy handling the finances, but since I started staying home, I'm the person who has to deal with these people and write them checks each month. Farm bureau is a fine company, as long a...

Okay, i admit to being a loyal (i.e. PICKY) cleaning product customer. I believe that the name brand stuff just works better. And what is bigger in disinfecting wipes than Lysol and Clorox? So, I have been buying those brands for a couple of years. Why? Because the store brand stuff doesn't work as well, isn't as easy to use, doesn't smell as nice, etc, ect. We've all been there...

I'll admit it. It's cute. It's soft. It's nice to look at. But,what does it DO? Well, nothing, really. Not the first one you buy. My daughter received this toy as a gift for Christmas. She was so excited when she opened it that we couldn't get it out of the box fast enough. What a disappointment to see her abandon it minutes later. Why? It doesn't DO anything! It says on...

This is a great toy that inspires action. In order for it to work properly, a little one has to move around. In my opinion, a toy that inspires movement is better than one that doesn't, right? I like this toy because it doesn't make a ton of noise or have lots of bells and whistles. It is simple, easy to us, and fun! The joy you see on a toddlers face when they discover they can pull on...

The Playskool Ball Popper is tons of fun for everyone. My child is the primary owner of this toy, but her older cousins LOVE to come to our house and play with it, too. This toy is marked for ages 9 months and up, but we started palying with it at about 6 months of age. Any child who can sit up can enjoy watching you operate the ball popper, as well as listen to the songs it plays. Amazing...
