We didn't need a commercial grade treadmill with all the bells and whistles. However, the Trimline 350HR, made by Nautilus, does have most of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~211744755332 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 00:55:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_211744755332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_211701763716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carennedy - Thomas the Tank Engine is one of the most popular boys toys I know of. It costs a bundle because you aren't purchasing a toy, you're purchasing a collection that you can keep for the grand-kids.

The good thing about this is that there is an on/off switch and the batteries last; a year so far. The spanish is a great feature and my daughter is picking up some phrases, this makes her very proud... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209994288772 Tue, 1 Nov 2005 18:34:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209994288772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209934585476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author carennedy - I love games the kids can play on their own, that they want to play a lot, and that appeal to a large age range. This game measure's up perfectly in that respect. Another important point for me is educational value, here it doesn't measure up.

We were on vacation at the family cabin and wanted some civilization so we went shopping at Wal Mart. I went to look for something for the kids to do and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209834249860 Mon, 31 Oct 2005 01:03:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209834249860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209652649604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carennedy - Sibling Rivalry by Marian Eleman Borden is part of the Baffled Parent's Guide series. The book is easy to read with lots of the information in point form. I love point form because it gets right to point.

He's not your core group type train but my son liked him. The trains are expensive. I paid $15.00Cdn for him, which when we had two incomes and one kid didn't seem like a big deal.

Costly, but the lifetime warranty is nice. There is a video with a cranky story they can act out. The head falls off and is annoying. I wouldn't put cranky on the top of my Thomas needs list.

The cardboard bends, the kids don't play it properly and the pieces just end up thrown all over the place. The Matching game is way better, that's how they want to play dominoes, "I found a matching." The can't grasp the two pictures... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209536585348 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 12:46:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209536585348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209536388740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author carennedy - Save your money, this item is not worth what they want for it. The backpack is too narrow for hands to get at. The thing talks over and over and over, no on off switch. Good news, the batteries die quickly. A real backpack is way better than this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209536388740 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 12:44:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209536388740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209535274628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carennedy - Love it. Take it everywhere, cuddly night time friend. This is a great little doll because they get so much love out of it. I think it looks a little off, but my daughter loves it. She feeds it, puts it to bed and carries it in her backpack.

The case is fun but your better off buying a Dora suitcase with wheels rather than this. The latch doesn't stay on and I'm just waiting for it to fall apart. The stuff inside is cheap and beyond the abilities of a preschooler to make.

Kids love pushing the button over and over and over.... drove me nuts. No way to turn it off. It would go off in the toy box when another toy would push up against it. Batteries didn't last long and then it sounded... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209530687108 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 12:13:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209530687108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209530359428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author carennedy - The backpack is great. My daughter stuffs it with stuff all the time and it hasn't broken at all. Great for role playing and halloween costumes. The inside stuff is a pain and cheap.
