Aus-some!

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 16:44:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - Ok, I've visited Australia--as far as I can tell there's no such thing as Australian food. Just Australian cooks cooking the same food you might find here. Well, not entirely true--I've eaten kangaroo in Australia, which I don't find in America. Nor do...

developmental fun for many months!

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 11:43:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - At 9 months of age, our son was ready for some developmental toys that encouraged his improving dexterity and thought processes. The Fisher Price Shape Sorter Ball was great for this, and better than the competition for a great many reasons.

Groceries: White Cloud Diapers

Sat, 27 May 2000 16:19:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona -

When my friend mentioned these diapers had given her daughter a rash, I shrugged and thought little of it. I had just purchased White Cloud from Wal-mart (I don't know if this is the only place they are sold or not), more out of curiosity than to...

Supersize it! Buy TWO!

Sat, 27 May 2000 15:01:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - We put two together for a super sized play enclosure!

When our son started figuring out how to crawl, the husband and I started to get nervous. We have hardwood floors, and plenty of places for a baby to get into trouble. We started thinking about...

Elmo Rocks! Loudly!

Wed, 24 May 2000 14:53:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - I purchased RnR Elmo for my then 7 month old son, mostly for my own entertainment. See, I discovered that my little munchkin's got rhythm watching him rocking back and forth on his not yet crawling belly in time to a friend's pet Elmo!

When I...

His fffaavvvorrriittte teether!

Sun, 2 Apr 2000 17:36:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - As it turns out, my son loves his First Years Massaging Teether. I really hadn't expected much. I figured this was just another instance of Mommy buying some silly gizmo; always a sucker for a battery operated doodad.

There was really...

sing along with Elmo!

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 23:26:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - Who can resist the child-like Elmo in his bright red fur? I know my son can't. This little sing-a-long features the adorable Elmo throughout, and his new grouch friend Grizzy is quite a character as well!

This video really depends on Elmo and...

Classic Sesame St. Fun!

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 22:46:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - I bought this video for my 7 month old, a lover of Jim Hensen Muppet creatures and songs. Let me tell you, we got our money's worth! He is enthralled for the entire 55 minutes! Do you know how much housework I can get done in 55 uninterrupted minutes,...

what a neat toy!

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 01:04:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - This is more than just your average rocking toy, here, folks. It's an amazing, interactive activity center that responds to actions from your child!

Bear with me through the structure issues, and then we'll get to the fun stuff this toy...

eBay: a shopper's dream!

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 22:44:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - I can only write from the shopper's perspective, as I've never sold anything on EBay, but I'm hooked!

My mother introduced me to Ebay, the online auction. I didn't think I'd find much use for it until I actually took the few minutes to...

wouldn't be without it!

Mon, 6 Mar 2000 12:14:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - This is my first child, and as you can imagine, I was frantic at the idea of moving my son from our room to his own nursery, on the other side of the house, no less! But he was sleeping through the night by the 3rd month, and we realized our sleep was...

captivates the grownups, too!

Sun, 5 Mar 2000 16:09:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - One of the most tiresome parts of being a parent for me is having to watch children's TV. I haven't enjoyed cartoons since I was a child myself. And the new ones, these days...I just don't get them. Just looking at Barney makes me cringe (granted, the...

super versatile!

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 00:59:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - Such a simple C shaped pillow! My frequent companion for the first 3 months!

How do I love my boppy? Let me count the ways:

I love it as a nursing pillow to prop baby to the breast without bending!

I love it for setting baby in on...

OUCH! That hurts, Mommy!

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 00:38:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - It sounded like a great concept. A starter tub for a new baby that converts into a bath seat for the older infant. I don't have sinks that accommodate baby tubs, so I had to use it in the tub. It has suction cups on the bottom for secure bathing, but...

it's loads better than no genie

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 23:56:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - I don't love my Genie, but I do prefer it to no genie!

The concept is great: Insert soiled diaper, twist rim of genie, make odorless diaper sausage! Make strings of diaper sausages! Dump, then start again. Except these days I smell Diaper. I'm...

a MUST HAVE as a guide, NOT a bible

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 11:00:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - First I'd like to say I loved having this book around. Second I'd like to point out that I didn't take it's every word as gospel.

What I loved about it is that they had something about everything in it. It's written in a FAQ format, and whatever...

A hit with my son!

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 12:56:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - We purchased the buggy after having set my son in it at a used baby item store. I had really just set him in it to lighten my load a little while I browsed through nearby clothes. he was only 3 months old, and I had no idea he was ready for a bouncer!...

Love this highchair, BUT

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 12:19:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - I bought this highchair because I liked the following features: It reclined (my son was not quite old enough to sit in an upright position for eating). It folded for storage (although, admittedly, it doesn't get much narrower even when folded.) It...

my son LOVES his

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 11:20:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - This toy has been a favorite of my son that has passed the test of time! We bought it for him at the tender age of 2 months, when his only real skill was kicking! He had limited control of his arms at the time, and batting at hanging toys on other gyms...

my answer in a tough decision!

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 11:04:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - This is a message I wrote to friends on a parents message board. I thought it would sum things up nicely:

Hi Gals!

I've finally bought a new convertible car seat! YAY!!! I bought the Fisher Price safe Embrace. It took me forever to choose...

great for 0-4 months

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 11:00:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - I received the Slumbertime Soother as a shower gift, having never heard of it before. When my son was born, we found it a godsend! The combination of music, lights, and pictures was very stimulating for him.

I don't know that it ever...

Evenflo Trendsetter Advantage Travel System: great features, poorly made

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 11:23:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ceylona - After comparing many stroller options, I purchased this one because it had more desirable features than the others.

I wanted a stroller/car seat combo. I wanted lots of storage space. I wanted big sturdy wheels with shock absorbers on all 4...
