2 Kids for the Price of One Toy!

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 22:46:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I'd looked at this toy several times in the past before finally purchasing it this Christmas for my 17 month old daughter. She LOVES music, so I figured it would be a hit!

I didn't know how right I would be! Not only does my 17 month old...

Woohoo! It's a Hit!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - My daughter recently had her third birthday. I had a hard time figuring out what to get her, she already seems to have everything, and Christmas is right around the corner, so I wanted to leave options open for then as well. I finally decided on the...

Graco Lite Rider with Three-Pt. Restraint: Yipee! I Can Swing it to the Ceiling!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - (*This Epinion is on the Breeze Literider Model 6904 not the Literider, although they are similar.)

These were my exact words after I assembled my new Breeze Literider Stroller. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and until now have been...

AHHHHH Shut that toy up!

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 22:10:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I'll begin by saying that this toy really gets on my nerves!

BUT both my kids have LOVED it!

I bought it when my older daughter was a baby, I thought my kid needed every toy on the market. I've grown wiser, as my space has dwindled.

Magic?? You Bet!

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 10:10:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - My Mom first introduced us to Model Magic, giving my then 2 1/2 yr. old a bag to play with. I couldn't pry it from her hands for days, until it dried up because she wouldn't let me put it in a bag. She's since had much more of it pass through her...

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 21:32:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I'm hooked. I discovered the magic of the Build-A-Bear Workshop after a friend told me about them. The closest store was only about an hour away from me, so my husband and I packed up the kids on a Sunday and trekked off to the mall for an...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - ...is what I heard when we gave this to our daughter! My daughter recently turned 1 and my husband and I purchased the Gumball Playland for her gift. Well, it was technically her gift, but I figured both of my daughters could play with it. They had...

Lots of Bongo Music Fun

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 10:17:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - Ahhh--another noisemaker! My daughter recently received this as a birthday gift. Ok, I'll admit it, I don't mind noisemakers so much. They aren't so bad as long as they aren't too loud. The Barney Bongos have turned out to be a big hit in this house,...

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 09:55:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - My Mother purchased each of my daughters one of these on their first Christmas. They have been a favorite in our house ever since. These tape players have really taken some abuse, but keep on going. My 3 year old has dropped it, knocked it into the...

My Wonder Drug

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 22:53:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - Let me begin by saying I don't like using medications unless absolutely necessary. I like trying other methods for reducing fevers, or stopping pain. But--when it is needed for fevers, Children's Motrin is what I choose. I've found with my children,...

Are your walls in need of painting?

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 21:11:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - If your walls aren't in need of painting, they will be after you use this gate. We already had one gate but needed another one to try and contain our little tornado. We bought this one to go in the door frame between our living room and kitchen. Let...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I signed up for my first checking account around the age of 16 with Dominion Bank. Well, a few short years later, First Union came along and bought them out. I've had battles with them ever since.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - When my first daughter was born, I got 2 different front carriers as shower gifts. The Fisher Price Perfect Support carrier was one of them. I was so excited to give it a try. She was still a young infant when I began using it. I really liked the...

Are you a Parent? If so, you need PARENTS.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I've read 'em all. I've given every parenting/child/baby magazine a try, reading them from cover to cover, devouring every word. My favorite by far has been PARENTS magazine. I've always found the information pertinent, down-to-earth, and easy-to-read...

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 16:36:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - Nothing in life comes with more questions, concerns, and worries than a new baby. I wouldn't have made it through that first year without This book---What to Expect the First Year. Many a night or day you could find me thumbing through to find out...

Baby Einstein: Is Your Baby an Einstein?

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 16:52:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I would not say that I am raising a Baby Einstein, and if I were, I wouldn't attribute it to this tape. However, I can not deny the value this video has had for us. I purchased this video when my older daughter was an infant. I knew I wanted to teach...

Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere...

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 09:33:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - My children LOVE bubbles. I must admit they have a therapeutic quality to them. I, myself, could blow bubbles for hours. We bought the Gymboree Bubble Oodles at a Baby Expo. I had seen the display for them before, but they were demonstrating them and...

Thumbs down...

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 21:31:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I purchased this bath seat when my first child would not stay seated during her bath. I thought, perfect, she'll stay seated, I won't get drenched, and we can get this bath over quickly. Wrong. I'm afraid to say this product was not a winner at all...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - At about 7 months pregnant with my second child, my husband and I began shopping for a double stroller. My children would only be about 22 months apart, and I didn't forsee my older child walking along peacefully!

Not for little ones...

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 15:38:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - Let me preface this opinion by first saying that I realize this channel is not solely intended for children, and many of the cartoons are geared for adults. That doesn't mean I have to like it though. I probably let my child watch too much television,...

Oink, oink, Moo,moo, Boo

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 03:06:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I couldn't resist buying this for my infant. I had visions of her laying in the crib kicking or tapping the piano keys, squealing in delight as they reacted to her touch. Not quite the case. I tied it to her crib, turned it on, and waited. She never...

Lullaby, and good night...

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 02:41:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carey-ann - I tend to go a little overboard at Christmas for my kids. I'm new at it, with a now 11 month old and 2 1/2 yr. old. Last Christmas I wanted to get my infant a crib type toy. I found the Peaceful Planet Aquarium and had heard good things from reviews...
