rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - After about 4 years my Dirt Devil steam cleaner finally gave up and I was in the market for a new cleaner. Being a Dirt Devil fan, I of course looked at the Dirt Devil's first. Upon inspection of the package description, the Dirt Devil Jaguar looked...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - I live in Arizona where sunblock is a diaper bag necessity. My friend came over and left this at my house and when I told her that she had left it she told me to keep it. So I inherited a tube of Baby Block from her. Baby Block is a water proof, hypo...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - Need a tune-up? A car wash? A fill-up? A snack? Well you have come to the right place with the Fisher Price Little People Fun Sounds Garage. My 2.5 year old received this toy as a gift a few weeks ago for Chanukah. I wasn't sure he was going to enjoy...

Haven't changed in at least 20 years

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 14:01:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - These toys really are a classic that have lasted forever. The toys are simple yet educational. When I was growing up we must have had at least 100 of these around the house, and my sons aren't any different.

Got young kids close together? Get this toy!!!

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 14:47:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - This is the best toy I've seen in a long time. This really is one of those toys that your child can "grow" with.

The toy is white, shaped like a gazebo, and has a yellow "roof". The gazebo is hexagon with size different...

Arrr Matey!

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 12:13:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - This year, for Chanukah, my sons received the Sesame Street Pirate Ship bath toy. My two year old really likes Elmo and that is why my mother-in-law decided to purchase it.

Overall the toy really isn't that exciting. It's a toy you need to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - My carpets were *nasty*. I don't mean just your typical dirty carpets, I mean flat out *gross*, to the point where I was embarrassed to invite people into my home. With two toddlers, two cats and a husband who wears combat boots to work, my carpet...

Finally, a place to sit!!!!

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 17:01:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - I purchased this table because my 2 year old doesn't really have a place that he can sit down and color or eat without a lot of effort. He is too big for a high chair and too small to really sit at the kitchen table without a booster seat. He refuses...

Easy on the wallet

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - I purchased this toy because I am a fan of shape sorters. I have two young children and I find that shape sorters are a real must have toy. I purchased this toy because the colors are bright, therefore making it attractive to little ones.

Makes My Son Stop Crying!!

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 17:29:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - This toy is really cute. It is shaped like a lady bug with 6 legs. 4 of the legs are brightly mutlti-colored cloth and two of the legs are built somewhat like a tambourine. In the middle of the lady bug are two green buttons, that when pushed play...

Good Product

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 16:30:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - Neither of my children would go anywhere near rice cereal if you tried to feed it to them on a spoon. Both of them gagged and almost threw up all over the place if you'd shove a spoonful of rice cereal in their mouth. It had nothing to do with them not...

Great inexpensive stacker

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 17:53:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - I purchased this toy for my son when he was 6 months old. He could sit up by himself and was interested in putting things into toys so I thought maybe he would be interested in stacking the rings.

The rings are made of a soft plastic so that...

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 05:03:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - My 2.5 year old son has really started to want to do things that Mommy and Daddy are doing. He asks if he can go to work with dad, he helps Mom vacuum the house with his vacuum, and of course he wants to push the cart at the grocery store.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - When my son turned two we purchased him an art easel. One side of the easel was a chalkboard. The easel came with a 3 pack of chubby chalk, which is more or less sidewalk chalk. Of course that was quickly gone, lost under a couch or broken in half...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - FINALLY Arizona is becoming part of the real world. They are building highways and they are building museums! Phoenix isn't known for very exciting things, mostly you can come to Phoenix to watch ice melt in the summer and dodge drive-bys in the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - I live in this area and I'll be the first to tell you that Old Town Scottsdale is a place to pretty much avoid. Old Town Scottsdale has a traffic signal every 30 inches and they are never in sync so there is a constant traffic jam. I know this because...

A different kind of zoo

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 14:50:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - I grew up in the metro-chicago area. I had been to the zoo quite a few times in the Chicago area. It was your typical zoo, most of the animals were caged in, fully or behind glass. I went to the Phoenix Zoo for the first time last week and I was in...

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 20:03:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Talisman - I really loved the concept of this, and when my first son was born I had to get one. I went down to the store and for 23 dollars purchased this. I was told that one refill lasted about a month, so when I went to pick up the diaper genie I also grabbed...
