Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon Review

col — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:42:38 +0000

My daughter loves her radio flyer wagon. I have to say that when we go for walks, we rarely use the stroller. Once she was able to sit up, I began to use this wagon. She enjoys it because she is able to see everything around her. She can put her sippy cup in the cup holder. She also likes to sit her baby across from her. By the way, this wagon is great because your child gets buckled in. There are two seats in this wagon. Another reason that I really like this wagon is because it is plastic. So you don’t need to worry about the wagon rusting. You just wipe it down to clean it. Below are some more Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon features.

A sturdy plastic body, easy steering, front axel with no-tip turning, and exclusive Dura-Tred tires make for a smooth, comfortable, and safe ride

Handle and seats fold down for easy storage

This wagon features four molded cup holders, an optional storage compartment, and two seats with seatbelts

This wagon has won the National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval, National Parenting Publications Gold Award, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio’s Gold Seal Award, and Canadian Toy Testing Council’s Three Star Rating

This product is made by Radio Flyer, innovating play and creating memories since 1917

She will love to hear the music and enjoy being rewarded with various sounds and phrases. Your child will enjoy putting her things in her purse and taking them out. She can zip the zipper and open and close the bag. She will love to play with her pretend belongings. She will imitate you by putting on her bracelet and lipstick.

Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing & Go Choo-Choo Review

col — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:14:16 +0000

This toy won Parent’s Magazine Best Toys of the Year award in 2006. My daughter loves this toy. Your child can learn a lot and have a blast with this one. The Amazing Animals Sing & Go Choo-Choo helps your child develop motor skills, learn about animals and their sounds, introduces them to different textures and sounds. Your child will love the music that is played and the various sound effects. He will learn cause and effect by pushing the button to hear a song and see the train move. The three animals are flexible and even make sounds when you move their limbs.

I have played with this toy during early intervention sessions to work on sensory, cause and effect, identifying animals and their sounds and parallel play. I would recommend this toy to any child between 6 months and 3 years of age. Your child can learn a lot from it and have lots of fun too!

Fisher-Price® Interactive Baby Grand Piano Review

col — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 23:09:35 +0000

The Fisher Price Interactive Baby Grand Piano is so much fun! My daughter got this when she was 12 months old and has a blast playing with it. Most children love music and lights, so you can’t go wrong with this one. The piano has 3 different modes of play: learning, musical fun, and imagination. There is a character that dances while your child plays the piano. This toy is very interactive. Your little one can learn about colors, numbers, and counting. There are light up piano keys, an interactive song book, cute songs, and a few other toys to play with on this piano. I love watching my daughter sit in front of it and play. Sometimes she even cruises around it to get to all of the fun interactive pieces.

Fisher Price: Laugh n’ Learn Kitchen Review

col — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:18:41 +0000

The Fisher Price Laugh ‘n Learn Kitchen is a great toy for your little one to learn from and have a blast while doing so. The Kitchen has an opening that your child will crawl through and on his way through he will be rewarded with music and lights. There are a few different modes that you can choose from. There are 21 different songs, sound effects, greetings, fun phrases, radio sounds and more than 25 fun phrases. Your child will enjoy opening his refrigerator to find pictures of familiar foods inside. He can play with the shape sorter on the refrigerator, enjoy putting the colored balls in the sink, cook up some food in the oven and on the stove top. He can toast up some bread and listen to the radio. There is a light switch that he will learn to turn on and off and will be delighted to hear phrases and see lights when he does so.

There is a living room side on the opposite side of the kitchen. However, there is not much for your child to do on this side except turn the radio dial, look at a small flip book and play with the clock. At first I was disappointed that there wasn’t much on this side. But, the focus is the kitchen and my daughter loves it!

She was 12 months of age when she got this toy and she plays with it a lot longer than most other toys. She really enjoys the music and especially being rewarded with lights and music when crawling through the doorway!

BPA-Free Thinkbaby Trainer Cup Review

col — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 23:02:02 +0000

This is a great trainer cup/sippy cup. It is BPA-Free. What does that mean? Well, it does not contain the harmful toxin (bisphenol-A). This toxin can leach into your child’s foods/drinks through the plastic. The toxin unleashes when the plastic is heated up.
The BPA-Free Thinkbaby trainer cup is safe, durable and reasonably priced. The nipple is made of silicone. It is dishwasher safe and can be boiled to be sterilized. My daughter loves this cup. We just purchased one last week and she is taking it much better than the old sippy cup we had. She is so proud of herself and I am thrilled because I know that it is safe!

Mirror Me! Board Book (Baby Einstein) Review

col — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:36:14 +0000

We love Baby Einstein. My daughter is very attracted to the cute animals and vibrant colors. The Mirror Me! board book is adorable. There is an animal on the left page and a small mirror on the right. As you read the simple sentences to your child, he will enjoy looking at the animal and then at himself. He can even work on imitating the animals’ actions when he is able to do so. It is very cute for the little ones and even as they grow to be little readers.

Pacific Play Tents Multi Color Tunnel Review

col — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:55:58 +0000

Tunnels are so much fun for your little one! He will be increasing his gross motor skills and having a blast at the same time. When your child is learning to crawl, you can encourage him to crawl through toward the end of the tunnel where there may be a reward. When I worked in the early intervention field, I would place a puzzle or toy of some sort at the end of the tunnel. The child would crawl through and complete the puzzle. The children loved it! We got to work on a lot of different areas that way too! The tunnel can be set up and put back away very easily.
