Reviews
"He is too young to know how to pop the rocks into the bed of the dump truck but he puts them in the hole, turns it over and spins the wheels -- he loves wheels. He has the laptop, remote control, sit to stand (all time favortie - love love love this one), Iphone, etc. Today I put some of his other little toys in the back of the dump truck with the rocks."
"Got this for a baby for her birthday because she loves balls and this game with 3 little balls / boulders."
"This toy is so fun!"
"Its now helping develop the motor skills to drop the ball in the top hole and how to pick them out of the dump truck bed."
"It was a big hit with all the little kiddos, who loved putting the balls in it and the noises it made."
"We gave this to my 1 year old nephew for his birthday last month and he loved it!"
"My son loves this at 8 months."
"Truth: a couple of the songs it plays are fairly annoying, but it does have two volume settings."

Reviews
"I ordered this precious little book for a baby shower I am attending next month. What a wonderful way to stimulate your baby's sensory and fine motor skills. I can see mommy attaching the book to a stroller or the car seat - keeping your baby busy."
"The puppy on the front is adorable and easy for kids to grab ahold of and "pet" and it quickly grabs their attention. The rattle could have been done a little better for little kids I think because you have to grab it to make it work well (see pictures)."
"She loves her older sisters books but damages them when she tries to turn pages."
"Everything about it is perfect: perfectly sized, perfectly engaging and perfectly washable!"
"book is very well made and very cute, her eyes light up every time it gets pulled out."

Best Baby Activity Play Centers

VTech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker
Durable Product. Interactive learning baby walker features a removable toddler play panel that develops fine motor skills.
Reviews
"I saw the issues about the wheels sliding on hard floors, being too light to support a child while standing up, going too fast and kids falling on their face... Wheels sliding on hard floors... False, there is a rubber seam on the rear wheels that prevents side to side motion. My 12 month old (recieved this for his birthday) uses the locked setting on the main floor where it's hard floor and the free spinning setting on the carpet."
"Let me also clear up any confusion on why my LO likes this walker - My LO likes this as a toy, loves the music and sounds. - There are two settings to control the speed of the walker (however, we have never used more than one which is the slowest - We have used this walker on hardwood floors - you might want to use the faster setting if using on carpet). - The musical unit will keep your LO entertained for hours! We have had a couple falls, not really bad ones, and while I understand that kids fall and hurt themselves, its not fun when your LO is attempting to stand with the walkers help and the walker slips and runs away. All in all, this was much better than the other walkers we tried. The other name brand walker we purchased was no where in comparison to this walker. Please note - pediatricians now recommend not using a walker, I feel if you are constantly watching over your LO this is probably the safest walker and the most fun walker out there - minus the differences in the older and the newer models."
"A few days later, still a little sad that I couldn't find anything else, a friend of mine posted a video of her kiddos (she has twins) playing with the same toy I wasn't buying!! If your baby is ready to start walking then this toy is absolutely wonderful but please know that if your baby cannot stand on their own, then they are not ready to be walking with this toy so just get it for them to press the buttons since it can be easily removed until they can stand and walk with it. That is what it is made for. I gave the educational value a four because while there are a million things on it that baby can learn from, they probably are not going to because they will be so busy wanting to push a million other buttons."

Best Toddler Electronic Learning Toys

VTech Touch and Learn Activity Desk Deluxe
The desk features an interactive desktop and five pages to explore that are filled with engaging content including letters, numbers, music, colors and more. Choose from eight expansion packs (each sold separately) that each focus on a specific curriculum like nursery rhymes, reading skills, animals and numbers. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
Reviews
"Great Touch Activity Desk for learning all sorts of things. A few things to note: the child needs to learn not to lean on/touch the table other than when they are intentionally touching/interacting with it. The table is very sensitive - you don't push the buttons, you just touch it - so it goes all haywire when she's leaning on it. It might be nice if they gave a little border at the front so kids can lean on it/put their hands somewhere - and have the buttons further up. Older children can be taught to be careful - but my 2 year old wouldn't know until she got hurt. The stool and table are quite strong and sturdy due to the legs bending out - so it has a nice wide base. Personally, my 2 year old needs some more growing up and calming down before she can really take advantage of this product, but there's no doubt that she can learn a lot from it."
"So if you buy this watch the fingers when they pull the table back down to play."
"He had the original Touch and Learn Activity Desk which was one of his favorite toys; however, the new expansion packs only fit this new desk. The desk is very interactive and holds my toddler's attention for very long periods of time."
"Music Jammer with colorful keyboard and different musical instruments, plus music genres (jazz, hip-hop, rock, pop, R&B). 5. Fruits & Colors. Yes, there is an OFF button, Parents - but, unfortunately, it's easy enough for a child to turn it back on. There is a clear female voice that gives directions, sings, and in other ways interacts with the child."
"Touch pad seems a little dull, but with a kids toy maybe that’s better than being super sensitive?"
"He even eats there now because she can't convince him half the time to stop playing with it."
"We got this because my 3 year old is getting more curious about learning and thought he should get something other than dinos."
"However, after about an hour of play, it started catching on the letter “x”."

Made of 100% natural rubber and food paint which can fade.
Reviews
"We are on our 3rd Sophie. And I can say that so far (2 out 3, the 3rd one is not here yet) all of our Sophies bought on Amazon have been authentic."
"At this point, it's mostly a chew toy (especially when her two bottom teeth came in), but she has loved it for a few months now."
"The packaging says that it is to help baby identify the toy from all the others, but it was just a bit too strong."
"Got the authentic Sophie and baby loves it!"
"Even though the "quality" of the one I purchased from Amazon seemed "ok", there was clear issues & errors with the packaging and toy itself that were dead giveaways. You have no idea what type of paint and rubber is used on the fake ones and taking the chance is not worth the few extra bucks savings. Hooves are bigger and more "defined" on the real one. I hope this helps everyone looking to purchase one of these great toys."
"I did not put hot glue over the hole, because that pops right out if it's chewed enough and it would've become a choking hazard. This mold growth was due to excessively drooly babies using it for over two years for it's intended purpose- a teething toy."
"Who knows what kind of chemical our baby has been sucking on... Also, the paint is pretty much gone now."

Reviews
"She was holding it with one hand on each side, and kissing the mirror. I think it was a great value for the money, and even better for how much fun my little friend had with the toy."
"This mirror doesn't stand up well at all."
"A plastic mirror obviously isn't going to be as clear as a glass mirror, but it's definitely not as bad as a fun house mirror like other reviewers have mentioned. Once the film was removed, it's pretty darn clear for a plastic mirror, and definitely good enough for a baby to look at."
"The baby doesn't really look in the mirror to 'see the baby' because they are so distracted by the bugs."
"Yes, designed for children, but the mirrored material could have been backed by a hard clear plastic to keep it flat and smooth."
"My baby is more interested in the lady bug on the side of the mirror than the mirror itself, and even that curiosity wanes after a couple minutes."
"Baby also loves when I spin the ball on it and crinkle the bee wings, but I'm pretty sure he'll knock it over when he's old enough to do it himself since it's so light."
"It's a soft, shiny vinyl in a sturdy frame and surrounded by foam."

"It's baby proofed with a soft end to prevent injury."
"Love these for baby who puts everything in her mouth and doesn't have good eye/hand coordination."
"I would recommend these for younger infants, but once your child starts being about to understand the shaking means noise, they may not be the best."
"This is a toy our baby usually passes over - the rattle part doesn't make much sound, and she doesn't have a shape for putting it into our baby's mouth (everything goes in the mouth)."
"I would say, without doubt, that they are her favorite toy."
"I never thought I would hear myself say that, but it is hard to hear unless you shake it really hard."
"My baby just started to show an interest in these at 3 months."

"One door opens, two wheels move (but the car is stationary), and there is storage space inside the "trunk" for the included blocks and shapes."
"Be aware that the door opens easily so a younger baby can tip over and out of the car if he leans to closely to that side (once a stronger sitter this should not be an issue)."
"I have a friend with a child who is six months older, and when she played with it she was more engaged by the songs and starting reciting her "ABCs" when the toy played that song."

"The top (blue) part of the boat comes off very easily, and I typically just lay out the three boat pieces - top, bottom and ramp - as well as the two cars, on my bathroom counter after bath time. They are easily dry by the time my toddler wakes up in the morning, so he can take them back to the living room to play."

The response they sent was nearly undecipherable gibberish which showed they didn't understand anything I said, or chose not to. Turned out to be an anxiety creator."

Reviews
"It's baby proofed with a soft end to prevent injury."
"Love these for baby who puts everything in her mouth and doesn't have good eye/hand coordination."
"I would recommend these for younger infants, but once your child starts being about to understand the shaking means noise, they may not be the best."
"This is a toy our baby usually passes over - the rattle part doesn't make much sound, and she doesn't have a shape for putting it into our baby's mouth (everything goes in the mouth)."
"I would say, without doubt, that they are her favorite toy."
"I never thought I would hear myself say that, but it is hard to hear unless you shake it really hard."
"My baby just started to show an interest in these at 3 months."
"Cute and my little one held on to them for a few weeks, but he didn'' really play with them."

Best Hammering & Pounding Toys

Hape Pound & Tap Bench with Slide Out Xylophone
Pound and Tap while playing musical favorites.
Reviews
"When she first got it, she loved just playing with the balls, now she is older she enjoys all the elements; from pounding the balls with the hammer, to playing music."
"I wanted to get him a xylophone and also a toy like this one, and it is great to have the two combined!"
"He rolls the balls, plays music with balls on xylophone and uses hammer on balls and the xylophone."
"This looks good and the pound and tap part is great, but the xylophone part is not actually an octave and is incredibly jarring to the ears of anyone who has any musical inclination."
"The balls are perfect for chunking, and the hammer is excellent for hitting your sister."
"Got this for our 1-year old grandson."
"My 9 mo old son loves this."
"Granddaughter loves the toy."

Reviews
"When I seen this clock I just had to buy. It's an add to the rest of his collection. It's easy to set the time, and also easy to set the alarm."
"This is a cool idea but the alarm is crap."
"This would be awesome if it woke you to the sound of the Empire March or something other than "Beep-Beep-Beep", but it is still perfect for the nightstand of any Star Wars and Lego lover."
"I bought the Stormtrooper model 5 years ago in graduate school because I was worried about the power going out and missing class or exams."
"My 9 yr old grandson abs LOVES this clock and the very first night after he got it set it to go off at 5:30 a.m. the next morning(even tho no one needed to be up THAT early!)."
"The other suggestion to the manufacturer is the alarm sound - it should be the Darth Vader's Theme - Imperial Match theme that symbolizes Darth Vader."
"My 4 year old son loves this clock."
"My son loves this clock."

Best Kids' Rocking & Spring Ride-Ons

Radio Flyer Chestnut Plush Interactive Riding Horse
this beautiful, realistically designed spring horse responds to your child’s motion with life-like sounds triggered by three levels of riding action: Walking, trotting and galloping. 3 levels of riding — walk, trot, gallop —trigger different realistic riding sounds.
Reviews
"He sort of resembles Boomerang from the show Spirit: Riding Free on Netflix that my kids love which is a bonus. I do find the galloping, naying and chewing sounds to be realistic and very cute and the kids will love that. It was a pain to assemble, I'm going to have to buy some new bolts and screws for the base and I had to sew up a leg but aside from that it is very adorable and soft."
"Also, my dad got on it to show him how to ride it so it holds a good amount of weight."
"Sounds work and has the right amount of bounce."
"She loves the sounds that come out of the horse, galloping, whinnying, and chomping on the carrot when you put it in the horses mouth."
"Freckles is cute, Freckles is soft, Freckles is well made, Freckles is a B#@%& to put together."
"My son loves hearing Chestnut neigh and has fun feeding his carrot too."
"Received as promised."
"The tiny screw that opens the battery compartment in the head turns butvwill never drop out even with a magnet. Paid $144 and now have to take it all apart and find a box big enough to ship it back sincevtge glue they used in both ends of the box was so thick it destroyed the cardboard when opening."

Best Kids' Indoor Climbers & Play Structures

VTech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker
Durable Product. Interactive learning baby walker features a removable toddler play panel that develops fine motor skills.
Reviews
"I saw the issues about the wheels sliding on hard floors, being too light to support a child while standing up, going too fast and kids falling on their face... Wheels sliding on hard floors... False, there is a rubber seam on the rear wheels that prevents side to side motion. My 12 month old (recieved this for his birthday) uses the locked setting on the main floor where it's hard floor and the free spinning setting on the carpet."
"Let me also clear up any confusion on why my LO likes this walker - My LO likes this as a toy, loves the music and sounds. - There are two settings to control the speed of the walker (however, we have never used more than one which is the slowest - We have used this walker on hardwood floors - you might want to use the faster setting if using on carpet). - The musical unit will keep your LO entertained for hours! We have had a couple falls, not really bad ones, and while I understand that kids fall and hurt themselves, its not fun when your LO is attempting to stand with the walkers help and the walker slips and runs away. All in all, this was much better than the other walkers we tried. The other name brand walker we purchased was no where in comparison to this walker. Please note - pediatricians now recommend not using a walker, I feel if you are constantly watching over your LO this is probably the safest walker and the most fun walker out there - minus the differences in the older and the newer models."
"A few days later, still a little sad that I couldn't find anything else, a friend of mine posted a video of her kiddos (she has twins) playing with the same toy I wasn't buying!! If your baby is ready to start walking then this toy is absolutely wonderful but please know that if your baby cannot stand on their own, then they are not ready to be walking with this toy so just get it for them to press the buttons since it can be easily removed until they can stand and walk with it. That is what it is made for. I gave the educational value a four because while there are a million things on it that baby can learn from, they probably are not going to because they will be so busy wanting to push a million other buttons."
