Editorial Review

This toy will make you want to take a nap. Equipped with straps that attach it to a crib, this play aquarium and music maker is the perfect thing to amuse a child or soothe them to sleep. There are three settings, depending on what kind of stimulation is needed: music only; music plus soft glowing lights; and music plus lights, bubbles, and moving fish. There are also three music options, the best one offering soft and melodic New Age fare, the other two somewhat odd, spacey versions of familiar lullabies. The music combined with the lights creates an instantly peaceful, soothing ambiance. There are a couple of buttons and doodads for baby to bat around that make the fish react in various ways. If these buttons were a little more responsive, this toy would be near perfect. --David Stoesz ... Read more

My little one goes to sleep everynight w/ this toy
We really like it. I had the older one for my 6 year old. Now my 7 month has had this one for 6 months, and has listened to it everynight before bed. He has now learned how to turn it on and off himself. I would highly recommend this toy.

Second baby still loves it
I love this aquarium. We first had the older version of it with my first son (broke it when he got older). Then we got this one for my now 6 month old. I change his dipes in the crib sometimes or let him play there and I just turn it on for him to watch. He loves it. I LIKE that it can be loud because when I lay him down for a nap, I want it to drown out the noise in the background... like of my almost 3 year old racing through the house. <br /> <br /> It definitely keeps him entertained and even moreso as a newborn.

ok toy
This is just an ok toy. My 9 month old son likes it ok but it not one of his favorites. The motor is loud and it's kind of creepy music. I would recommend getting a different toy to soothe your little one back to sleep. My child just mainly likes to play with it a few minutes or so.

Not quite what I expected
The ocean waves sound really soothes my son to sleep, but I have to keep the volume turned down all the way. I can't believe how loud the volume is for a nightime toy. Also, I can't turn the bubbles on because the motor is so loud if it doesn't keep the baby awake, it keeps me awake over the monitor. The bubbles are the major reason I bought it, so I'm not exactly thrilled with it. I just feel like there was probably something else out there we both would have liked better.

Helps her learn to go back to sleep on her own
I bought this for my daughter when she was just 1 month old, she is now almost two and she still loves it. You can adjust the how low it hangs down in the crib so I have never had a prblem with her head getting hurt. She loves to push it by herself, and when she wakes up in the middle of the night she just sits up and pushes the button and goes back to sleep. The Bubbles are a bit to loud to use when she is older though and the music is also a bit loud for a crib toy. But the running water noise saved us when she was a baby. ... Read more

Baby Tad is a wonderful interactive toy that makes early learning fun andeasy. Baby Tad (short for tadpole) helps your preschooler learn shapes, colors, activities,and songs. When your little one presses a colored light-up button, Tad identifies the colorand shape indicated on the button. With his cheerful demeanor and infectious laugh, Tadoffers support and encouragement and will quickly become a close and trusted friend.Besides various greetings,a squeeze of Tad's hand brings forth favorite children's songs, sung in a squeaky, high-pitched voice. --Alison Golder ...

better then expected
My 2 year old daughter got this last Christmas. My first thought was she was to old for it,I was wrong. She plays with Tad, regularly and is now 3. She love to sing to the songs. I love that it turns it self off. The batteries are still going strong.<br />

leapfrog tad
My 18-mo. old received this gift for his first christmas. He loves it so much. it goes everywhere with him!

Baby Tad is a lifesaver!
My daughter got Baby Tad as a gift when she was 6 months old.At first she ignored it.Now she loves listening to the nursery rhymes during playtime.I would sing along with Baby Tad first then eventually my baby would hum along with us!Most helpful is the 6 minutes worth of Lullaby/Classical songs.When it's sleep time,I would just have Baby Tad play the lullabies and usually in 6 munutes my baby is asleep!We bring Baby Tad during long car trips too.The nursery rhymes keep my baby occupied when she's bored with her other toys and the lullabies help her settle into a nap when she's tired and sleepy.A true lifesaver!

We all LOVE TAD
I love this toy. It has two volumes (loud/soft) and it plays sleepy music (you can set the minutes) and it is easy for little kids to push. My daughter got this gift at age 10 months now she is almost three and still loves to play with him. She really loves the kiss noises he makes (lips on his cheek). This was worth the MONEY!!

Learning to hug
I love this toy for the fact that it taught our 8 month old daughter to hug everything in sight. Her's makes kissing noises and says "I love you" when you press the kiss on the cheek. She was a hug enthusiast after just a few days of playing with it! Now that she is 16 months old she is starting to understand the reward system for playing with the light buttons and has learned about turning it on and off by using the hands and foot. The tunes it sings are all her favorites now. My only regret is that I didn't buy it for her sooner. ... Read more

Your Baby Will Love This Toy!
Out of all of the toys that my daughter has, she loves this one the most. I bought it for her when she was 3 1/2 months and she loves it still. It is easy for her to hold and shake. It is very durable-we take it everywhere. I have purchased other Lamaze products as well.and she loves them the best out of all of her toys. Great company, great products. Highly recommended.

Hours of Play
Such a fabulous interactive cube. Lots of bright colors, jingles and jangles. My 4-mo little boy shakes it, stares at it, gums it, and reaches and grasps for all the rings and handles. Since he has had this cube his grasp has improved as well as his independent play time. Great for the stroller and car, small enough to transport all over. The only reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is that it is not machine washable. Great, interesting, he loves it. Also try the Lamaze catapiller, really impressed with this line of toys.

Jingles, crinkles, chewable -- what more could a baby want?
This is one of our son's most beloved toys. It's amazing how much they've packed into one little toy. The big, soft handles made this one of the first toys he could successfully clutch and lift. He loves to shake it and hear the jingling noises. Whenever he's bored, we can offer this toy and it seems to satisfy him.

great toy
I bought 2 of these for grandchildren as Easter gifts.They were 4 1/2 and 6 months old and they both loved them from the start. So I purchased another for my newest granson who is just 3 months old now. The 2 older babies had no problems figuring out how to rattle, shake, open flaps and chew on this toy.And it is still a favorite for both of them 2 1/2 months later. Levi likes to look at his but at this point thats about all he does with it. I'm thinking that even though it says 3 months and above they should be 4 months or so in order to actually try playing with it. Or maybe its because he was premature. At any rate it really is a good toy, has lots to offer and I would reccommend it for every young baby--it holds their interests for a long time and I'm sure it will do the same for Levi in another month or so--glad I purchased these. As always, LaMaze makes great infant toys and I think I've purchased everyone they've made and never once have I been disappointed. This one is a must have and well worth the money.

One of our favorites!!
Our son received this as a gift, and LOVED it!! Now it is the gift that we give to everybody!! ... Read more

Good first car seat toy
I bought these bugs for my daughter while looking for a cheap car seat toy to keep her entertained since we spend so much time in the car (love that Houston traffic!). I bought them for her when she was one month old, and she was immediately captivated by the bright colors and motion. She has had so much fun with these bugs and they were the first things she batted at and pulled toward her mouth. I only put 2 of the 3 bugs on her car seat and rotate them periodically. The rattle bug doesn't rattle all that well, but enough to keep her interest. She is now 5 months old and still loves the bugs - we clip them to other things than her car seat since she seems to have so much fun with them. I only wish they had something this cute and inexpensive when my son was born!!

My son can stare at these bugs forever.
These are great!! My son is 9 weeks old and loves staring at these bugs dangling from overhead. They are bright and colorful and really grab his attention. He doesn't reach for them yet, but I know he will soon.

9 month old STILL loves his bugs!
I bought Bugs on Board for my daughter when she was a couple of months old to go on her infant carrier. She found them very entertaining and would pull on them and stare at them. Once we got the next size up carseat, we started using them on her stroller or just by themselves. This is weird, but her favorite part is the velcro. She just loves chewing on them more than any other toy just about. Even though she has plenty of teethers, for some reason she just loves the way the velcro feels on her gums I guess. We've gotten a lot of mileage out of this (...) toy!

Bugs Galore
My 2 month old son loves these. I put them on his car seats and he smiled at them and then started to talk to the two. I can't wait till he grabs them and starts to play with them. I attached them to his wrists too and was making the lady bug rattle. Great toy for young ones. Know someone who is expecting it's a must have.

bug laugh
My son loves these bugs! We have them on his car seat and he watches them move. He can't grab them yet - but they hold his attention and I can see him focusing on them. I can't wait to see him when he can hit them and pull on them and make them "fly"! ... Read more

I've been handing them down for years
When these first came out, I bought them for one of my kids. They've been passed down several times since then (I even had to buy another set for my triplets). We love them, the babies play with them, teethe on them, make them click and clack and any other thing possible with them. They're great toys!

Excellent toy
I bought this for my daughter for her first Christmas, she was 3 mo old. What a life saver. She loves "talking" to the little monkey and elephant. When it came to teething time, the first toy she reached for was the one with three rubbery butterflies. My daughter seems to love this toy. I would recommend to anyone.

My daughter loves this monkey...
My 2 1/2 month old daughter absolutely loves the monkey! She started to enjoy looking it at about 3 weeks of age. She then moved on to smiling and batting at it. He is now the receiver of many smiles, giggles, and conversations throughout the day. She also likes the elephant, but she definitely prefers the monkey. I've found that this toy is very portable, it's easily attached to her bouncy seat, stroller, car seat, swing, etc...

Great toys
My daughter has been in love with the monkey since she was 2 months old. She loves its google eyes. She now uses the butterfly for teething.

Worried about the safety of the monkey
I purchased the monkey individually for my son at about four months old. He loved it being attached to his car seat so much that I brought it inside and let him play with it in the house as well. As he got older (around 8 months and teething) I noticed he would put the hard plastic eyes in his mouth and try to bite them off. That made me nervous enough to throw the toy away. They did seem to be attached well, but I didn't want to find out otherwise the hard way. ... Read more

A great shower gift
My son is 10 weeks old and loves this toy. Whenever he is crying we turn it on with our little remote on our visor and he is immedialely quiet. it's also nice when it is dark because you can see him in the mirror when the lights are on. I wasn't thrilled at first with this gift, but we never go for any car rides without this. The mirror is also great because you can watch the baby and it doesn't block your view. A great shower gift that any mom would love.

My baby loves this
I have a 6 month old and we got this when he was born. He's always loved it (and mommy does too). Now he looks into and just sings and talks to himself. So cute!

Sometimes I use the music when he's fussy or something, but not everytime we're in the car. He doesn't get bored with it very fast.

Works intermittently....
Baby is not here yet but we tested this out in the car and only works intermittently which is a bummer! So we are experiencing what some others have experienced....for $20 it should work more consistently. We are going to return and look for something different.

Would be really great if you could count on this b/c it is cute with the lights and sounds! :-(

Good for watching your baby
I like this because I can see if my 2-month-old daughter is awake or asleep. She seems to like the music. My only complaint is that you have to position the remote just right to turn it on. Overall I think it's a good buy.

It could be better
We just bought this mirror for our 6 mo old son. It could be better. (...) I'm not sure if we got a bad unit, but the remote control only works 1/3 of the time. The mirror also scratches pretty easy. Other than that it is an ok product. We do like b/c we can see our son while driving and he gets a kick out of watching 'the other baby'. ... Read more

Disappointed
My 7 month old daughter is strong enough to pull herself up, but she is not strong enough to activate the toy. I have to press fairly hard myself to get it to work. It is a wonderful concept and she loves to hear the rhymes, but it would be nice if she could do it herself. We also have trouble with one of the buttons. It occasionally starts at the end of the song instead of the beginning or says welcome instead of playing the music. I love all of our other Leap Frog products, but this is not one that I would recommend.

EXCELLENT TOY
I puchsed this toy for my neice for Christmas and when I received it I was so impressed I bought one for my 5mth old. Its great for the crib and to take in her car seat.

Not as great as I'd hoped
Leapfrog has a great rep and we received this as a gift. I do think that my 14 month old son enjoys the toy - he claps when the classical music or color songs play, but he gets very frustrated because he can't easily press the sections of the caterpillar. I sometimes have trouble getting them to play - and I shouldn't. It also seems to have a slight glitch where the on/off button and the numbers button do the same thing sometimes - I am guessing it is our particular unit. In all, I think the concept of this toy is great, but it would be nice if it was more baby-user friendly.<br />

Best Value ever from Leap Frog
This has got to be the best value ever from Leap Frog. You get numbers 1 to 5 with cute visuals that go with each number. The plush is soft and easy to hold or squeeze. My 5 month old neice can't put it down. A must have. ... Read more

Very happy with it!
...And so is my 6 week old! It really does soothe! I was very impressed with how well it works when my baby wakes up in the middle of the night and I need to change his diaper or feed him and put him back down to sleep. I press the play button and immediately his head turns to the light and he listens to the story, music, poem, etc. Now, when he hears it playing in the middle of the day, he calms down and listens. I absolutely recommend this toy. I shouldn't really call it a toy, but a lifesaver! It allows my husband and I to get the sleep we need! There is only two downfalls to this product and that is how much of a battery-eater it is. You can go through a set of batteries in about 2 weeks and then you have to go out and buy another set. Also, it should have a remote control, so that when it turns off by itself and baby is still intently watching, he doesn't cry when it shuts off on him. But overall, it is WELL worth the money! I love it!

My Baby's Friends!
My daughter LOVES this! It always calms her down if she is upset, and lulls her to sleep each night! This item made me want EVERY item Leap Frog has made!

MY SON LOVES THIS!
I have a 4 and 1/2 month old and hes loved it since birth :) I would definately say IT'S A MUST GET FOR THE CRIB :) All of the LeapFrog toys I have gotten for him he has really enjoyed

dreamscapes soother
my son loves this toy so much he uses it everynight. It is the best crib attachment to get

Great for bedtime...but hard on batteries
I love this toy. My husband and I have been using this in my son's crib since he was a few weeks old. He's one of those kids that has to wind-down in his crib and the Dreamscapes soother does a great job at it. Even at 11 months now he still enjoys it, and after having figured out how to turn it on and off can watch it at his leisure. My only complaint about it is that it seems to eat through a lot of C batteries, but then I guess that is the price to pay for a soothed baby. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The pyramid-shaped Grip and Grab Rattle is made of sturdy, safety-tested plastic tubes in bright colors that are connected by clear plastic spheres. Each sphere contains a red bead, smaller beads move freely through the tubes when the rattle is shaken. So what's the big deal? You'll have to ask a baby. For some reason, they love this thing--won't put it down. They'll go to sleep to the sound of it being gently shaken in front of them, or will miraculously be distracted from the car-seat fussies. (Mini van dealers should include the Grip and Grab as a standard feature).

This Lamaze rattle also provides learning opportunities for babies, almost from birth. The tubes are about the diameter of an adult finger--perfect for grabbing with tiny hands, and later, for chomping with tiny gums and teeth. Early lessons in cause and effect and hand- eye coordination are taught when baby moves and the rattle shakes. Included in the packaging is a booklet about infant development and creative ideas on how to use the toy, as well as a U.S. lifetime warranty. Winner of several national awards, including a National Parenting Center Seal of Approval and a National Parenting Publications Honors Award. --Katherine Ferguson ... Read more

Baby loves it -- maybe a little too much!
My son, now almost 6 months old, loves this rattle. I think the bright colors are wonderful and the fact that he can see the little balls inside that are making the rattling noise is supposed to be good for his cognitive development.

When he was younger, it was great because even before he could really grab the rattle in his tiny hand, he could stick his arm through the middle of this toy and shake it up and down to make noise.

HOWEVER, I think my husband and I may be taking this toy away from him soon, because we're afraid he's going to hurt himself. He shakes this rattle around with such enthusiasm, he keeps smacking himself -- and we know from the times when he smacks us with it that it hurts!

Lightweight, and educational
One of my favorite things about this toy is the pattern that the colored "legs" of the triangle are laid out in. When turned slightly differently from the picture, you get the 3 primary colors on the top, and the secondary colors that they make when blended together on the bottom. Very nice way to teach colors and color mixing. The baby loves to shake and rattle this all the time. Easy to sanitize after a long day in the park as well!

Not My Baby's favorite toy...
I love Lamaze toys but this rattle has never been high on my daughter's list of favorites. She really didn't show any interest in this toy until around 5 months and that was pretty much b/c she wanted something/anything to chew on and this fit the bill but her interest didn't last long. The rattle seems to startle her more than others - it is pretty loud. Also, it's hard to clean.

18 Months old and still a favorite!
My 18 month old delights in this now as much as ever. It is often pulled from the toybox & carried around, shaken, and played with--with delight. :)

A family favorite
I had bought this toy on a whim for my son when he was about [quite young]. He was frustrated with ordinary rattles that seemed flimsy and not something that he could practice his grip on. He loved it. Took it everywhere. Slept with it sometimes. He would hold it up while watching the beads fall into each ball and then shake it wildly. I am convinced it helped with eye-hand coordination. My wife and I also used it to teach him his colors. I am writing this now, because after sitting forgotton at the bottom of the toy box for over a year, my [young] daughter has disovered it. I've seen her hold it above her eyes, watching the beads fall, then shake it wildly. It is one of the best toys we ever purchased. But since our girl is a twin, I'll have to buy second one. ...

Bought it for the long haul
I took a chance buying this toy. I felt it was expensive, but reasoned that although my then 6 mo. old baby would not use it for more than a teether, he'd later be able to play it himself at age 2+. My son liked it initially, but beyond grabbing it and eating the handle, legs and tassles, he was not able to play it except by accident or with his feet by 8+ months. I (and other adults) play songs or notes for him, which he likes, and am hoping that in the future he'll play with it rather than use it as an expensive teether. He tries, but it's hard for him to play notes right now. I did not know that the toy was scented and thought it was from the strong-smelling odors of the store from which it was purchased. I do not like artificial scents, but it doesn't bother me now. If you like long-term toys, this is a nicely colorful, non-electronic purchase that encourages interactive play. I use it to also teach colors and or general play. I would give it 5 stars once my baby can play the notes.

Fun with Octotunes
I bought this for my son and when I took it out of the package and played it for my two month old son, he could not keep his eyes off of it. The colors facinated him, the sounds amazed him and he just wanted to stay focused on it as long as possible. He looked at it for hours, smiles at it and finds great enjoyment. I feel he will get plenty of use out of this fun, educational toy as well as being durable to take everywhere with him. I would highly recommend this for any baby to encourage thier visualization & listening skills, then motor skills later.

Great for everyone
We brought this toy for our son when he was 4 weeks old. Although we doubted he would be able to operate the legs on his own for a while yet it has prooven to be a fantastic way for adults to interact with him. He started by watching and smiling or just staring when we played the leg's. It then became something of interest for him to reach out for and then chew on. He's just about five month's now and when he see's it on the ground gives it a big smile and tries to wiggle around to grab at it. We love to sit down with him and squeal the legs while he mouths any part he can get to. I think it's a fantastic investment for those parents that really want to enjoy and be part of their children's lives.

more fun for me
We got this toy when my daughter was three months old. I figured she was a bit young and hoped she would enjoy it when she got a bit older. My husband and I had a lot of fun with it, and she liked it when we would play with it. For the most part, it sits untouched on the bed. It is quite cute, but when our daughter does try to play with it (she is almost two now), she has a hard time squeezing the legs hard enough to make the sounds. Not one of our best purchases, but maybe one of the cutest.

A Fun Interactive Toy
My middle daughter received this toy when she was a year old and just loved it. She loved the to look at the colors and patterns on him. She also liked to listen to the tunes that I played for her.(she didn't mind the mistakes) It is now two years old and we passed it on to my youngest daughter and she loves him too. The best part is you can still smell the vanilla fragrance. It soothed my three year old when she played with it and now its doing the same for her baby sister. ... Read more

Love This Toy!!
This is one of the best purchases I have made for my daughter. I bought it based on the reviews that it got, and they were right on the money. My daughter loves it. I started putting it in her car seat at about 2 months. We don't go anywhere without it. This company knows what works. She actively plays with it. It is very durable and it is pretty big. Definately worth the money. Great company, great products. I own other Lamaze products and have had success with them as well.

Fun for Infants
We got Puppysquuek as a shower gift since our nursery theme was dogs. I was so happy to get this toy, it was one of the first toys I introduced my daughter to. She enjoyed playing with him and looking at all the different colors patterns and enjoying his scent....all these toys stimulate all 4 senses I believe.

Now my daughter is almost 18 months old and Puppysqueek, sadly, has been put up due to the fact she no longer finds him as stimlating as her other toys. But boy we were sure happy to have him as long as we did.

Pupsqueak is a must have!
This toy has it all. My daughter has loved this toy from the start. She is now 4 months of age and Pupsqueak goes everywhere with her. Her favorite part is the crinkly ears. The squeaker is great for distracting her when she is crying. And the bells in the feet are just now beginning to get her attention. I believe every child should have one of the Lamaze Learning Curve toys. I have read the reviews for the other toys and it appears that they are all as wonderful as this one.

Keeps baby entertained in the carseat
This was the first toy that my baby tried to "grab" so this is a special toy. Baby was very attracted by its bright color and the crunchy sound when the ear's squeezed. At first, baby loved to grab/pump its paws and the dog bone, but when he started teething, he loved to gnaw at its ears and the plastic ring. Now that he's 8 months, I keep this toy in the carseat and the puppy keeps him entertained and QUIET.

Great Toy!
My 8 week old loves this toy! The bright colors really attract his attention and it makes diffent noises depending on how it is handled. The link on the top can be attached to the stroller to keep it from being airborne while strolling through the park! ... Read more

Great Toy! Keeps my son entertained while riding in the car!
My son totally loves this toy and so do I! He is able to easily squish the legs and play the different notes. With a little practice, you can also learn to play different tunes for your little one (a couple of songs are actually on the instructions label)

The hook at the top of the dog's head it great for hanging this toy to the seatbelt or baby's carseat...makes a great toy for the car!!!

My son loves to bite the ears and the tail, since he is teething.

Can't say enough about this toy! Too cute!

Stops my baby from crying!
From 3 months on, whenever my son is fussy and I know he's been fed and changed, I always reach for the PuppyTunes. He loves looking at the bright colors and when he hears the notes, he just stops crying. It's a great distraction! At 6 months, he's still too young to press the paws himself to make music, but when he hears the notes, it just grabs his attention. This toy will keep him entertained for a long time.

Teeth-things
I luuuuvvvvvv to chew on things! You'll see my reviews around here.Though this stuffed up dog doesn't answer or cares if I drool on him/her.

INSTANT PUPPY-LOVE is a SURE THING with this toy.
This toys is truly a SURE THING!!! This will be your baby's first love. I bought this for my little nephew in December when he turned 3 months old. He must have this toy with him everywhere. Though he has many other colorful toys that make noises and play tunes and have mirrors ... none compares with Puppytunes. I even got him Hokey Pokey Elmo - which he also loves ... but he is attached to Puppytunes. It's so cute to watch him play with this. I actually chose this toy based on other Amazon customer reviews. Those comments turned out to be true!!! This toy is a "SURE THING."

very cute, a little to big to handle...
My husband and I bought this for our 7 month old and it is really addorable but a little to large for her to grasp. She most certainly can not squeeze his paws for music, so our 6 year old helps her. Cute toy but maybe when she is old enough for her to try herself. ... Read more

A full set of developmental toys that will delight and grow with children from birth to their first year are integrated into this gift set by Sassy Toys. Newborns will reflexively grasp the Mini Polka Dot Rattle but won't let go, captivated by the colors they see. It has a classic baby rattle shape with plastic rings and a nubbed handle for tactile stimulation. An innovation in rattle design, the Pogo rattle is atom-shaped. It has lots of places to hold and is more than a tool for distracting a cranky baby, it's also a teether. Smiley Face Rattle adds more interactivity with a push-button squeak nose, crazy eyes, and a mirror on its backside for when self-awareness dawns. Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award for best toy, Fascination Station has so much to focus on: four spinning delights of sight, feel, and sound mounted on a base that can be hand-held or stand on its own. Each of these toys has won numerous parent association and industry awards for age-appropriate design features and exceptional quality and safety. (Birth to 12 months) --Lynne Sampson ... Read more

These are my daughter's favorites!
My daughter just LOVES Sassy toys. Combine that with all babies love of mirrors, and this smiley face rattle is worth the money all on it's own. She immediatley loved the mini polka dot rattle and the smiley face rattle. At around 6.5 months, she really started liking the pogo polka dot rattle and the fascination station. I've never been able to get the suction cup on the fascination station to work on anything (swing, ultrasaucer, stroller) so I just took that part off - and she still enjoys playing with the rest.

I keep an eye out for ANY new Sassy toys!!

Fascinates Baby
These toys are the only ones my 8 week daughter will look at!
The smiley face is adorable and the red nose even squeeks to get baby's attention. I can't wait until she can hold these toys on her own, since she loves to stare at them for a good 15 minutes.

who woulda thought?
My little guy LOVES these toys!!! They are inexspensive and he always gravitates to them I have no idea what he would be learning from them, but he likes to bang them around and they work in the car, highchair, crib, on the floor, everywhere!!! I love inexspensive and versatile!!!! My fav!!!

Great toy for developmental growth
I work with respirator-dependent infants in a hospital setting and these toys are one of their favorites. The Fascination Station is by far their favorite and really encourages our babies to use their hands and arms more. I have found this toy to be a fantastic motor skill developer. We try to provide this particular toy for each new baby that arrives!

One of my daughter's favorite
We bought fascination station and the smiley face rattle for our daughter and she loves both of them. The smiley face rattle has a mirror on the back that she loves looking in and the handles are easy for her to grasp. Sassy also makes slippers with the same smiley face on the feet and those entertain her endlessly even now after she's over the "I discovered my feet" phase. I've never written a review before but she just loves all three of her Sassy toys so much that I can't say enough about what great toys I think these are!! ... Read more

The colorful soft cloth mainbar is 15 inches long by 2 inches in diameter; Velcro bands allow foreasy positioning in front of your baby on almost any stroller, swing,or infant seat. There are five activities, including a twirling bug, abumblebee atop a twisty plastic stalk, and a crunchy-sounding clothbutterfly. The most distracting feature might be the removable,dishwasher-safe snack cup in the center, which has a flip-up,bug-decorated lid for hiding (or revealing) snacks. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Doesn't fit stroller trays
I could not use this toy with my son's stroller because it would not attach properly to the tray. The only way I could get it to fit made the toy fall forward and he couldn't play with it. I would not recommend this toy with the Graco strollers that have a tray. It will not fit!

Great if it would stay upright
I have tried this stroller bar on several different strollers and have had limited success. On the umbrella stroller it was so close to my son's face it kept hitting him in the nose. On my travel system, the straps barely fit around the child tray, and the bar kept falling forward so my son couldn't get to the toys. He loves it anyway, I just wish there was a way to attach it so it would stay put!

Doesn't fit on Graco Quattro Tray
I rated it average for everything since I never actually got to use it with my almost-four month old baby girl. It would not fit on the stroller tray and I returned it... I don't know why they still sell this thing if it doesn't fit on a tray... but I'm sure it would be great for a shopping cart or a stroller with a bar.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
My son LOVES this toy. I read some reviews saying that people can't get it to work on their stroller because of the tray. We have a brand new Evenflo stroller and that tray is removable so that there's just a bar there. If your stroller doesn't have a stroller bar, then don't buy a stroller bar toy.

I love going on walks and my son used to get antsy. This toy buys me SO much more time. He's 11 months old and still loves it. I would HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

didn't fit on my Graco stroller
I bought this before my daughter was born and it didn't fit on her stroller, carseat, or anything else she had. I don't know how well the velcro would hold if I did get it to fit on something. I could see how the snack cup would not be left in it place.

She has played with it just on the floor but because she has toys to play with on the floor that are made to play with on the floor we gave it away.

My daughter is 9 months old and we have not used a stroller toy at all. She never gets bored just going for walks in the park and through the mall. She likes to look around at different people and different things. ... Read more

Whoozit is a favorite!
My infant loves this product. The whoozit is colorful, sqeaks,and rattles when shaken. It also has a mirror under his nose. The product has firm and soft parts on his "arms" and also has key hole openings on 2 arms (easy for holding). The Whoozit meets several criterias for growth and development. It has different tactile parts/shapes, a mirror, sqeaks, rattles and is soft. The whoozit is a favorite.

one of my son's favorites
My son got this when he was born but it wasn't until about 4 months that he paid any attention to it. He is 7 months now and he still plays with it. Once he began teething it became a favorite.

I definitely recommend it!

A Must Have
My daughter loves this toy. I had initially purchased the Baby Whoozit as a fun portable toy, and she loved it so much I bought her the big one for home. She loves to laugh at the face, and play with the rattles and squeakers. The hanging toys are also great teethers, and she enjoys chewing on them.

Wonderful
My son received 2 of these for Christmas, and he's now 6 months old and this is his favorite "buddy". The colors on this toy are very vibrant and the rattle noises get his attention. It's easily washed, and we take this toy everywhere. Even on his short wagon rides. This is a recommended buy for your babies.

Not worth it
I bought this toy for my first daughter when she was an infant because it had such great reviews. I was very disappointed when she paid it no attention at all! She never played with it, not once. It was a very big waste of money, we ended up giving it away to a pregnant friend, maybe her baby would like it. All in all, I was not impressed. ... Read more

Cool
I got this as a shower gift and my son loves it. I have it hanging over his changing pad, and we change it from the sun to the moon at night and back in the morning. He's 4 months old now and he loves to coo and squeal at it. And he gets really excited when he can grab it and put it in his mouth! Yummy.

Favorite toy!
This is the BEST toy!!! My son has loved it from day 1! He's now 11 months and I still keep it in the car and use it for the stroller - he never tires of it! I now buy it for everyone I know expecting a baby! Great toy! The only problem was the squeaker in the green circle stopped squeaking.... but, my son still loves it! I highly, highly, highly recommend it!

just echoing: great toy but...
We keep Celeste exclusively in the car as a travel friend. The only problem is that for some reason the green arm's squeaker stopped making noise after only a few weeks; I'm not sure why. Otherwise it's still a hit. The stretchy arms are great to hang from the car seat handle b/c their motion kept Baby's attention. Unfortunately he's now in the bigger seat w/o a handle, but he still loves having Celeste as his car toy.

The color will catch your babies attention
My daughter has loved this toy from day 1. I attatch it to her changing table, car seat, stroller. She loves the bright yellow color and all of the dangling toys that make sounds and have different textures. She is now 5 months and still loves this toy. Plus when you flip it over onto the other side it turns into a moon and stars. She goes crazy for this toy

She loves it!
I don't have anything else to say. My baby loves it and that's that! ... Read more

In The Way Duckies
I bought this for my son's carseat, so that he may have somehting to play with as we drive. The problem with it is that his carseat is the overhead kind, and the bar is too large for the toy to fit around. I have pulled it to the side, so that it fits. Also, it is in the way of my mirror that I have on the back seat so that I can see him in my rear-view mirror. He loves the toy, and it keeps him entertained, but it has a couple flaws that can easily be fixed. The band that goes around the bar, needs to be made longer, and if the duckies were spaced a little further apart, my line of view would be just fine. Overall, my son really likes the toy.

very fun for the little fingers
well I go this toy for my six month old son because he like to be in his stroller. and well he was getting boared with the toys you can clip on the stroller, so I saw this toy and I knew i had to have it for him, so i bought it and well he love playing with the hanging links that come with it, so he is no longer boared in the stroller now. I would suggest it to other parents.

Just what I was looking for
I wanted something for my 5 month old son's swing and stroller that wouldn't slip out under the tray or obstruct his view. This toy is perfect and a great price. It straps on tight to the trays on both the stroller and swing. My boy loves to bang the hanging toys around, or work his two new teeth on the baby ducks' soft heads and crinkly wings. When he's done playing, he can lean back or turn away without anything still hanging in his face. Best of all, the noise factor is really low. The music Mama Duck plays doesn't last too long, so your and baby's ears aren't under constant attack. This is definitely one of the best toys I've bought.

Doesn't fit on strollers
My daughter loves the toy however the velcro peice that attachs to the stroller is not long enough if the tray is on and too big if the tray is off. We eneded up having to sew an extra peice of velcro on to make it fit. ... Read more

Fun & Educational...you can't go wrong with that combo!
This is one of my 6 month old daughter's favorite toys. She's played with it from 2-1/2 months on and still adores it. The colors are captivating. The mirror on Tucker's tummy, it's crinkle noises and jingling feet are entertaining. The rings are great for teething and hooking this cute toy on just about anything. It's fun playing "peek-a-boo" with Tucker's feet and head (they all tuck inside the body). Well worth the money for this creative and entertaining buddy.

Brianna's Favorite toy
My daughter is 6 months old and just loves this toy!!! Every time I show her this toy she get's all excited and gives me a big smile and starts to laugh, wiggle and kick her legs every where, because she wants to play with the toy. She just loves playing with the rings and chews on them as if they were teethers. The Mirror on his tummy is also great my daughter brianna stares at it non-stop, I love the way she reaches out to touch the image of herself in the mirror. Two of His legs Have rattles which my daughter loves to pull on his legs and the other two legs make a crinkling sound when you squeeze them. Also when you squeeze his head it beeps my daughter bites down on his head to make him beep and laughs hysterically every time. This was one of the best toys I every bought. Since then I have bought other Lamaze toys and they are all great. When ever we go anywhere tucker comes along with us...I loved this toy and so did Brianna!!!

wonderful toy
I purchased this for granddaughter Jamie who was 3 months old at the time. Six months later she still loves it and carries it everywhere with her. It is one of the cutest of the Lamaze toys. Bright colors,a mirror on his tummy and all the things that little ones adore. This toy has withstood the test of time and still is in great condition, as are all the Lamaze toys I've purchased. Its so reasonably priced and so cute that you can't possibly go wrong. This is a must have as are most of the Lamaze toys.

Awesome, Awesome Toy!!
I bought Tucker for my 2 month old. He absolutely loves it. It's the only toy that he currently plays with. Every feature is perfect for his little, learning fingers and eyes. He smiles everytime he looks in the mirror and everytime we put the turtle anywhere near him he stares at it because of the colors. He also enjoys the sounds of the bells and rattles. Most of all, its the only toy he'll hold on to. It's light enough that he'll grasp the rings or hug it all the time. It's easily portable: if he's not holding it, then we can put it in the carrier with him and he's able to look at it anywhere he goes. I highly recommend this product as a good first toy.

Fun for Car rides and Out to Eat
My husband loves buying these toys for our 18 month old daughter. He has been doing so since she was under 4 months old. So I was in no way surprised that Tucker was added to our family on the last visit to Babies R Us. Our daughter really seems to like Tucker, especially on car rides, in fact we keep him in the car for that reason. She loves his colors and mirror and sweet face. But what she really loves is the fact you can stick his head inside his shell and play peek a boo! This keeps her entertained for quite some time! ... Read more
