My Kangaroo Loves Climbing on This!

Mon, 14 Apr 2003 14:51:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - We have a 2 year-old. An active 2 year-old. A VERY active 2 year-old. And so I thought a climbing, sliding toy would be perfect since the playground is her Mecca.

First of all, let me admit that I cheated. I did not spend the $100 this thing...

Eureka! The Whirlwind Litespeed is My New Favorite Toy!

Wed, 26 Mar 2003 14:11:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - Let me begin this review by admitting that in my earlier days, I never dreamed that I would be in love with, yes, a vacuum. I mean, come on, I couldn't even spell vacuum!

Then came along my very own house, my very own husband, two hairy cats...

Intex Spray Pool is a Whale of a Good Time

Mon, 8 Jul 2002 13:20:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - Let me preface this by saying, I live in Houston--the sauna of the country. This week alone it has been a balmy 96 degrees with about the same percent humidity. You basically can watch yourself melting if you stand in one place too long.

Kite LiteRider Rides Light and Turns Heavy

Tue, 25 Jun 2002 13:28:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - We purchased Graco's Kite LiteRider to replace the bigger, bulkier travel system we had for our 6 month-old infant. We are now back to using our big stroller.

I must first point out that our daughter has always been in 90% plus percentile for...

Crawl n' Cruise Keeps Cruisin' at Our House

Tue, 25 Jun 2002 12:23:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - I want to praise the geniuses who created the Crawl n Cruise Playground! Our daughter dances and boogies to it still, and it has been hanging around our living room for 6 months--many toys have lost their luster by now, but not this one.

We...

Baby Einstein Company's "Baby Newton" Shapes Up to be Another Favorite at Our House

Tue, 14 May 2002 13:32:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - First of all, let me start out by saying that Julie Clark should come to my house and video my daughter starting the second the familiar caterpillar bounces his way through the intro of any Baby Einstein video. This would be a much better ad for her...

Century DX Accel 5-point Excels in Safety and Comfort

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 13:36:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - Well we finally reached that point. That momentous occasion when we turned our daughter around FRONT-FACING! It was sad for us and oh, so liberating for her. Now she can see more of Mommy and Daddy than the little square her rear-view baby mirror gave...

Graco's Neat Seat: High Chair or Baby Laz-e-boy?

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 12:57:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - We decided before the birth of our daughter that we were very well educated consumers and that we would spend a vast amount of time immersing ourselves in literature, recall notices, consumer reviews and real-parent trials to assess the best products for...

Dangerous Product--Watch While Your Infant Plays!!

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 14:27:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - We purchased the Playskool Kick Start Gym for our 3 month old after she played and squealed with our friends' son's gym. My husband put the thing together (after about an hour)and set it up for her to play with.

For a few weeks she loved the...

Multi-purpose system with great options-minor inconveniences

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 13:41:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - The Evenflo Easy Comfort Premier Travel system was one of our first acquisitions in preparation for our new baby. It felt like we were buying a car--all of the options, the color and pattern choices, cup-holders and even shocks on the wheels. We soon...

The Camera That Wants to be Good

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 15:37:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - The Polaroid PDC 640 is a decent, entry-level digital camera that is extremely easy to use, but has many pitfalls for the consumer.

First, the positive aspects of the camera. Thinking this would be a great way to document the growth of our new...

Finally, a Decent Infomercial Product!

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 14:46:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - For someone who has been sedentary for several years and is bouncing back after a baby, the prospect of fitness equipment was daunting and I was starting with very low motivation from the get-go. We reviewed many fitness clubs and home equipment,...

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 13:37:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marysmom - This coffeemaker is a great buy--sandwiched between Black and Decker's bottom end plain 12-cup Smartbrew and their Delux model, the Smartbrew Plus has just enough extras to make coffee drinkers happy without a lot of trouble.

We don't drink a...
