Editorial Review

Baby spent nine months floating around in her/his own "aquarium," listening to the deep-sea sounds of Mommy’s tummy--so why wouldn’t she love to tune in to the gurgles and splashes of this Aquarium Bouncer? The lightweight bouncy seat features an ocean-themed fabric seat with harness restraint (machine washable), calming vibrations, a baby- (or parent-) activated toy bar, and a pretend tank filled with swimming fish, bubbles, colored lights, and music. Infants can bat at fish and seahorse to activate music, lights, and sounds (and stimulate sensory development, by the way). Four selections of music and sounds (with volume control) allow ocean waves, a babbling brook, summer rain, or lullabies to wash over Baby. The removable toy bar features brightly colored toys with spinners, teethers, and textures to stimulate baby’s sight and touch. Baby’s going to be a veritable genius before s/he is through with this seat! Discontinue use when baby reaches 25 pounds or can sit upright unassisted. Four D batteries required (not included). Phillips head screwdriver needed for assembly (also not included). --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

A great buy!
We wanted a highchair that "stuck out" and that invited my son to eat. We liked the idea of a toy before meals, just a way to keep him from falling asleep before we fed him! (which he does when I am preparing a bottle!)

Hes only 5 months but already I know this chairs a keeper. It reqlines enough for if he does fall asleep (which he WONT do at night, so basically wherever he does thats where he stays!!! Hes a lightsleeper) we can just reqline him back (which has happened at meal times, we have been getting him used to this chair and he has fallen asleep). It adjusts to different table heights, we like having him with us at the table most of the time, but if we dont want him right up close we have that option too. The cover is vinyl, easy to wipe down and also goes into the wash no problem... The fabric colors are all dark, this hides stains more and the plastic is white which is easily cleaned anyway. It has easy to use wheels so we can bring him all over the kitchen, and I can put the breaks on or off with my foot. The seat is very comfortable and plush. There are a few "frills" but its actually not too bad (see the Link-a-doos!) and there arent many crevaces for run-away food. The tray is a one-handed release and its not too heavy to hold with one hand. Its easy to put on and take off and I am never fighting with it. The snap on trays are not going to be used proabbly until he starts actual food (hes just on bottles and baby cereal now!) but those may eventually be our "plates" as they fit in the dishwasher easier than the large tray fits in the sink. Theres a five-point harness to keep him in the seat and to insure saftey even without the tray. The tray is not too far away nor too close, perfect for baby.

I love this chair, its so easy to use and I doubt I will ever give it up... My son also adores his "fishy chair"...

Great High Chair
This high chair features everything that is needed in a high chair and a few fun toys for your child also.I love that the tray is dishwasher safe.The straps are dark blue, so no more of the easily stained straps.(Hated that about my last high chair.)For the price and the features, this is a great choice.No need to spend close to $200 on the fancy European brand high chairs.

Life Saver
I bought this highchair for my daughter when she was 3 months old. I started putting her in it so that I could cook dinner and we could eat as a family again. She did great! Of course at first she needed help with the toys but it didn't take long for her to figure it out. Now she has started eating in it and it cleans up nice. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
I have several of the Aquarium items and I have not been disapointed yet. I would reccomened any of the Aquarium items to anyone.

Great Great chair!
Wow, this chair must be popular with twins! I too have twins, 21 month old twin boys. WE have had this chair since they were about 9 months.

Before we had this chair we had the harmony chair in colby. It was very cute, but not at all funtional and it actually broke when my niece (2 year old, average weight/heirght) sat in it!!! So I imediatly went out to BRU to get a new one.

I bought this chair because it was EXTREMELY sturdy. I also liked the 5pt. harness to keep my master of disasters in place. The seat cover was very soft, and my boys seemed comfortable in the store. My sons were very excited about the color, that means very excited for meal time! The tray and the heights adjusted, and it wasnt too expensive.

Once I got this chair home I really found out how great it was! My small boys could fit in it snugly, (though they are small at 32nd percentile)yet they can fit in it now at about one year later! The tray is very easy to one-handedly take off and put back on, and its not too heavy or cumbersome. The dishwasher insert is incredible, and we love it soo much, and use it all the time. The seat cover is machine washable, and also very easy to wipe down because its vinyl. The tray adjusting, and the height adjusts make it extrememly easy to bring up to the table, since now my toddlers are obbsesed with doing everything as a "big boy". The wheels are really easy to lock, or unlock and I can push it around very very easily, which is much more important than I thought. Its also not too heavy if I have to lift it.

What I dont like is the color, its just too bright and I really liked the old colby color, but this is a very minor issue. The chair is also HUGE, I mean its even enourmous when folding, but we do have a large kitchen. Like some of the previous reviewers I really dont like that huge toy, its just not apropriate for meal time, though our boys love to play with it on the floor, and we have never introduced them to it at meal time so they never whine for it, yet again unlike a previous reviewer. I too ordered more trays, and fisher-price was very very nice and I had no problems, I believe that maybe the reviewer who had a bad experience was just worked up and made it worse with her adttitude (although I am NOT discrediting her account nor do I have any spite towards her, its just I believe she was very upset as it is and may have taken the advice in a bad way). THe tethered toys are also not really neccesary, but ohh well.

Other than those few, very minor and optional, cons this chair is great. I love it and am really resenting the day my boys grow out of it.

Awesome highchair!
This chair is great!I got 2 for my twin girls and couldn't be happier.There are several height settings so I can sit on a stool, a dining room chair or on the floor and still be comfortable.The tray is easy to attach and remove.The removable tray fits nicely into the dishwasher and makes clean up a breeze.The adjustable reclining back makes it comfortable for my little ones to sit back a bit but will be nice for them to sit up straight as they get older.The color is a bit bright but we can live with that in order to have the convenience, safety and reliability.Also, the base is a bit bulky but it folds up so you can set in a corner or against a wall.
I originally had the Graco Harmony and went to put it together to find broken parts.Then I read the online reviews to find many, many negatives about it.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone (and have already to many family and friends)! ... Read more

Nice, but really only for newborns or very small babies?
I have to say, just looking at the Baby Papasan makes you feel cozy and I couldn't wait to get one in my house. My son spent most of his time (even sleeping) in his bouncy seat and we thought that the Papasan would be more comfortable and secure for him for the long stretches he spent in it. He is not an off-the-charts baby in height or weight but at only 2 months (when I bought this) his legs were already hanging over the bottom edges by a couple of inches - it seems like the placement of the safety belt and the pitch of the seat are off. I didn't feel comfortable having him in it for more than a few weeks after I bought it (HE didn't even look comfortable)and Fisher Price says the weight limit is 25 lbs!! I would have taken it back had I not already thrown out the box.

So far, so good
So far, this chair has been the only thing to soothe my son. He was a 4 lb. preemie and has been home for a month. Since then he has developed reflux and has been gassy, refusing to sleep in his cradle or crib. He would only sleep in his car seat but looked slumped and uncomfortable surrounded by buckles. This seat nestles him in and he looks so comfortable. He loves the vibrating--it puts him right out! In addition, the fabric part comes off easily and holds up well in the wash. If you ask me, $50 is a small price to pay to get your baby to sleep peacefully and to get some rest yourself. But do understand, this does not replace a bouncy seat as it does not bounce.

Cuddly but not fun
I received this for a shower gift. It is so cute, soft, and cuddly, and I had it all set up before my first son's birth. Every thing works just perfectly, and it was a breeze to set up. However, my son has enjoyed the Fisher Price Aquarium Bouncy Seat much more. Maybe my son just loves looking at the fish swim in front of him and the ability to make his seat bounce. This seat has just been a little too "calm" for my active baby!

Two Thumbs Up...
I originally had seen the papasan on the Target website, and was impressed by the looks of comfort, design, and the high remarks listed. I immediately decided to add it to my registry. Thank goodness I rec'vd this as a gift...my baby just loves it! When it is just myself at home and feeding time, she tends to get a bit cranky. I do not and will not have her in my arms while I am by a hot stove, so I will place her in the papasan while I make her bottle because it tends to soothe her until her formula is ready. She is less fussy, and you can immediately tell that with the combination of the ever-so-soft seating and vibrations, it is absolute heaven to her. I would recommend this item to anyone, but with like everything, every baby is unique and will take to products and toys differently.

Baby looks uncomfortable!
After reading the reviews, I registered for both the papasan and the kick and play. My son was a preemie, and at 4 1/2 lbs., I had expected this seat to be great based on the reviews. Unfortunately, he did not seem to care for this seat AT ALL. His head was pushed forward by the head rest, and there was no way to remove it or push it up, out of the way. I tried to put him in the seat off and on for over 3 months, as he grew to over 12 lbs. At no point did he tolerate the seat for more than 10 minutes. The music was a bit loud, the vibration seemed okay, but he had nothing else to entertain him and looked completely uncomfortable. The blanket was in the way and the bunny just blended in to the fabric, so I don't think he could even see it. He has enjoyed his kick and play to no end. I would recommend that over this seat any day, especially considering the price! ... Read more

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

Our twins love the jumparoo!!!
We purchased this almost a week ago for our 5 month old twin girls. I wanted it mainly to help strenghen the smaller twins legs and she didn't really get much entertainment from the Exersaucer and the FP Take Along Hop & Pop. She loves bouncing around! I did put a pillow on the floor since she couldn't yet reach even on the first setting. She'll stay in it for close to an hour. They both get excited when they activate the music and lights. The girls are both under 11 pounds, so we'll get plenty of use out of this!!!

I'm so glad someone came up with a jumper that didn't require a doorway!!! I remember with my older children, I was always so afraid the Johnny Jump-up would fail or the molding would come down.

This has by far been the easiest product to put together!

We looked and we looked...
for a jumper that did not require placement in a doorway. We have only two small doorways (bedroom) to hang one in. We were afraid she might actually bump herself hanging there. We decided on the Jumperoo after a few days of research.

At first, we were leary of purchasing another Fisher Price product considering the difficulty of assembling the Cozy Fit Infant Highchair. However, when we got this home, it was assembled in less than 15 minutes without the instructions. Our six month old 15 pound daughter loves this Jumperoo. She hops, moves and bounces with nothing but smiles and delightful giggles. She is an absolute joy to watch in it also.

There are two volume control settings for music: high and low. The high setting is not obnoxious. There are also two mode settings. You can set the Jumperoo to play music when the baby jumps and moves, or you can set it to play only when the button is pushed. While the music plays, there are two lights that flash back and forth. It is a real eye catcher for our little one.

The toys are easily accessible to our daughter's reach while sitting in the Jumperoo. The Lights and Sounds Toy does come off easily and there is a small tray underneath that could hold other favorite toys. Another wonderful feature was the four height adjustments enabling the Jumperoo to grow with our daughter. Seat depth is about 12 inches so she is well protected and stabilized on all sides. Additionally, the seat does come off easily for washing.

We have not had any problems with the Jumperoo. It is sturdy and folds up nicely so you can tuck it away. It unfolds just as easily, but is rather roomy. For the many smiles given to all of us, the Jumperoo was well worth the investment. We wouldn't change any of it.

The Best Baby Toy
Bought the Jumperoo for my son when he was 4 months because he loved standing on our lap and trying to jump. As soon as we put him in it he loved it. Played with the toys right away and loves being able to jump on his own. He is now 7 1/2 months and there isn't a day that goes by that he's not in it! The best money ever spent on a baby toy. We've used this toy the most out of anything. If your baby loves to be active and bounce around...this is the toy for you!

Worth every penny!!
We bought this for my daughter when she was 6 months old, after seeing at a baby shower. She is now 9 months. It is worth every penny. She jumps in it every day and loves it. I have even caught her falling asleep while she was jumping, she didn't want to get out. This is definitely a toy worth buying. We had gotten a walker as a shower gift and I returned it. She has one at the babysitters and didn't like it, she enjoy this much more!!

Great product.
I got this as a baby shower gift. And it is a wonderful thing. I started to use it when my daughter was 4 months. She just loves this thing. Of course she can only sit in it for 15 mins because she gets tired of it. This is a great buy/gift for the baby. My baby gets so excited in it, she bounces and screams in it. The first time we put her in there she was soo happy - I couldn't stop laughing and neither could she!!! ... Read more

There are two distinguishing benefits of this baby monitor set that make it a good investment: its "decibel" display, which visually shows sounds that may otherwise go unnoticed, and an extra, portable receiver, for monitoring as one runs about the house. Everything else about the set adds to its convenience and durability, but is found in other models. Still, they are good to have: two channels only, for less interference and clearer sound; AC and battery power (requires 6, AA batteries); and an anti-breakage design, such as short, flexible antennae and a thick plastic frame.

Try changing the channel if you get static
When I first got this item, I was really frustrated with it, because the static was terrible! It was keeping me up at night just to hear the terrible static. Then I started hearing other voices on it, so I think my neighbor has one and it was picking up their conversations. So I switched it to the other channel, and now it works perfectly! The sound is crystal clear (only gets a little staticy if you turn it up REALLY loud). It picks up my baby's every grunt and cry. Sometimes it works too well, because she grunts a lot in her sleep, and I hear every one!

I also really like the lights feature, because I can see how "intense" my baby's cry is. When I wake up out of a dead sleep at 2:00 a.m., sometimes it's hard to judge if my baby is really crying for me, or if she's just kind of whimpering in her sleep. When those 4 bars of lights light up, I know I better get myself in there! The lights are also nice, because if my baby's napping and I just want some quiet time to read a book, I can turn the sound all the way down, and the lights catch my attention right away when she really starts crying.

This is a great monitor for the price! I was a little weary about buying an electronic gadget made by Fisher-Price, but it's turned out to be a great investment.

The static is terrible!
This monitor does the job...I can even hear my baby breathing if I turn it up loud enough. It's cheap and works. But, my two major complaints are that 1. the batteries die in a matter of a couple hours. All the devices can be plugged in, but that isn't the most convenient option all the time. And, 2. the static it gives off is incredibly annoying. Not so much static if the devices are being used with battery power, but as soon as you plug them in, forget it. We've tried different channels, different locations in the house (away from cordless phones, microwaves, anything plugged in) and nothing makes is better. We've lived with it for 10 months now and my husband is forcing to buy another one, no matter what it costs. Just buy another brand!

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT
The sounds and lights part work pretty good, although there are times when there's more static than sound coming from it. The only complaint I have is that the dial is not made for real fingers. It's as if they designed it for the babies to turn on and off themselves. But we wouldn't be able to have even 3 good hours of sleep if it weren't for these monitors. I wished I shopped around more.

Great Monitor
I have this monitor in my 2 year old daughters room ...I love it ...you can turn down the volume and still see the bars moving if your child is crying ....or u can have the volume on and i can hear a pin drop in that room..I dont know why a few people said it was horrible ...i have never gotten an ounce of static out of it and they probably just got a defective one ...i have a 4 month old and someone bought me a safety first monitor and i am gonna return it and use the credit to buy this same monitor ...its hard to find good products and i intend on staying with this one that i trust ...Hope this helps !!

Love the lights!
I have used this product for several months now and love it! The monitors are very sensitive so I never have to worry about not being able to hear what is going on in my baby's room, but I also have the wonderful option of turning the sound down and just watching the lighted face if I need to. The dual monitors are also a must as I keep one upstairs and downstairs. Overall, this has been a great product! ... Read more

Many high-tech toys start with a fun and fascinating idea only to make it frustratingly complicated in the execution. Leave it to LEGO to make a technologically advanced toy fun to play with. The enormous 718-piece LEGO Mindstorms Robotic Invention System lets you construct a variety of moving robot vehicles and then program them from your Windows 98- or Windows Me-compatible computer. The robots are all based around a bright yellow basic unit, which serves as the functional heart of whatever is being built. The brick receives commands from the computer via an infrared tower unit. The computer interface is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. What's most impressive about the system, however, is the variety of robots that can be built. There are detailed instructions for each one, and since these are LEGOs, builders are free to come up with an endless variety. --John Moe ... Read more

The Best Toy I have Played with in 40 Years
This system is phenominal. We own version 1.5, purchased a year ago and we have not put it down. And trust me, this is not for kids only. I only wish there was something around like this when I was 12 - I was stuck with Robbbie the Robot replicas.
When my son opened it for Christmas, we knew it would be a big hit. We have spend uncountless hours working on this together (quality, quality time) and the problem solving skills he has gained have put him in a position that he can now program a computer in Visual Basic at 12 years. (Not that this system teaches you VB, but it sure teaches you logic and structure, necessities for any program language)
We have since bought all the expansion kits, a few books and have built robots capable of some unbelievable feats.
Keep in mind that older Technic sets work well with these sets as well as many of the other Lego sets you have.
I would recommend this set to anyone, especially those who longed for a real robot as a child, not a "flashing lights only" Robbie.

Best think ever
I have this toy for more then a yeat and it still is fun,i keep making stuff i even made a robotic hand, this is the best thing ever well what are you wating for buy it!!!

Beware of software incompatibilty
Unless you have Windows 98 or Windows ME, it may not work (who knows -- you may get lucky). I refuse to use either of these operating systems, which I consider wretched. The Mindstorm official FAQ says it was tested only on those 2 operating systems. For those who can get it to work, apparently it's a great product.

Great Product, but IR Tower has problems w/certain computer
Great Product - but like another reviewer, I had the same issues with the IR Tower and XP. Non of the Lego Support Documents were of much use, but using an older PC with Windows 98 did the trick.

A MUST!!!!!
I am an engineering student and we use these in our robotics lab. Adults with an interest in programming can use java or C to program, children can use the included software. The software is an easy to use visual drag and drop type software. I would recommend every parent to purchase this toy. It allows the kids to learn the basics of programming and see the immediate results when the program is downloaded to the robot. My 9 year old daughter never lost interest in my assignments. This is one of the best learning toys I have ever seen. I am planning on purchasing on for myself to use with my daughter (lots of little parts, messy children will need some supervision or most of the robot will be in the vacuum). Children between 7-12 will enjoy the product, with alot of assistance from parent, over 12 should have no trouble at all with it. Excellent for education, and a lot of fun for a parent - child activity. ... Read more

Why should big bouncy high-energy fun be reserved for carnivals and outdoor festivals? Now you can have the excitement of the bouncy castle often seen at those public venues in your own backyard. This castle set inflates with minimal effort once you hook it up to the heavy duty fan that is included. The packaging claims that the castle can be fully mounted in 45 seconds and in our informal test we did have pretty speedy results. Once its set up, kids up to 83 pounds are ready to get in and bounce (total weight should not exceed 250 pounds) in the yellow, red, and blue castle set. The entrance ramp and safety netting around the sides make for nice touches as does the convenient storage bag. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Fantastic Fun
We purchased this item for our daughter's birthday party from Walmart.com. We were notified that it would be delivered in 7 business days, but to my surprise, we got the package in less than 48 hours later! The Bounce 'Round was a hit with all 9 kids, ranging from 1 to 5 years of age. It was easy to set up and take down. It's big enough to hold 4-5 toddlers but small enough to fit inside a garage or patio. It's not educational by any means but it keeps children occupied for hours! We also purchased 100 plastic balls to put inside the Bounce 'Round for added fun. We highly recommend this product.

VERY DISAPPOINTED
We ordered this on-line and paid the shipping cost because the only other bounce house we could find were 8 X 8 or smaller. This was going to be a present for our 4 year old and it was going to be used at his party. It stated right on the box 9X9. As my husband set it up, he thought that it looked rather small. He measured it corner to corner and it measured 7ft 6in by 7ft 6in. Not even close to being 9X9. It was very easy to blow up but we were very disappointed in the size. We returned it (...). We then called the manufacture to complain about false advertising and were handled very rudely!!!! WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PRODUCT AND WITH SPINMASTER.

Motor Problems
Based on all the great reviews I purchased this product from a local ToyRus store. Much to my disappointment when I removed the contents of the box the motor was completely torn apart (it is metal so this was no easy task). I phoned the store and they graciously sent someone to my home to replaced the damaged merchandise. However, after removing the contents again there was a large gapping crack across the motor. This time the store said they would check the contents before bringing over a new motor. When the 3rd motor was delivered it looked "beat up" but was intact and did work. The gentleman who searched for the replacement and made the delivery said there were several more boxes with damaged motors in them. After finally getting it all together and setting it up (which was very easy) my soon to be 3-year-old wanted nothing to do with it. What a disappointment. It will go back ASAP.

Bouncin' Birthday Bash...
We wanted to rent a bounce house for my daughter's (...) birthday party but we didn't have the space to accomdate one of the rentals. I was on-line searching for a motorized Jeep for her birthday gift when I came upon the bounce 'round castle. We nixed the idea for the Jeep and opted for the bounce house. And I'm soooo glad that we did! My young lids just love it! It's sooooo easy to set up and take down. I was constantly scolding my two younger children for jumping on their beds, my furniture, etc. Now I just send them outside and they can jump until their legs turn to jello! In the long run it was much cheaper to purchase the bounce house than to rent one.

Cheaper at [local store]
My kids love this toy - great for burning the energy. ... ... Read more

Babies will enjoy this seat from their first months to their toddler years, thanks to its versatility in sizing. Infants can sit in comfort and look in fascination at the attractive colors on the included toy bar, which include black and whites as well as bright primaries to engage their developing eyes. Babies and toddlers (weighing up to 40 lbs.) alike will enjoy reaching and playing with several plush toys hanging from the padded toy bar, which parents can also use to carry the seat. During downtime, the reclining seat’s vibrations can sooth away cries and encourage a nap. Requires adult assembly and 1 "D" battery.--Diane Beall ... Read more

I love this rocker.My son is 6 months old and loves to sit up.However, he still needs a little support(He still likes to lean to the right).He leans so far forward that I am always afraid that the chair is going to tip over, but it has not yet tipped over.This shocks me when I think about it because he weighs 18.5 pounds and the rocker stands strong when he leans forward.This rocker allows him to sit up on his own (developing independence) when he is strapped in it.He loves the feeling of sitting up without having mommy supporting him.Also, I use the chair for feeding him, playing race car with him (just pushing around the chair on the floors), rocking him, and sun bathing (I cut the grass while he gets fresh air).He loves the toys that come with the chair because the toys are light and loud.I recommend this product to every mom.

What a Life Saver!!!
I am so glad I registered for this rocker! Our baby was born a month early and is only 1 week old/6 lbs. She screamed endlessly when we put her in her bassinet but went right to sleep in this rocker. With the kick stand in place the seat reclines far enough back for a baby with no neck control to lay down. When she has better neck muscle development we look forward to using the rocking feature.
I also really love the sturdy construction.My husband had a very easy time assembling this with nothing more than a screwdriver. This rocker really seems like it will grow with our baby into her toddler years. We highly recommend it.

Great for Infant to Toddler
My 4 wk old enjoys spending time in this rocker - asleep or awake.The toys keep his attention and the vibration helps calm him when nothing else seems to work.

It's great for toddlers too.When my sisters' kids come for visits this is one toy we don't have to chase them away from (unlike a traditional bouncy seat).We just pop off the toy bar and adjust the seat a bit and then they have a special seat also.

I'm very glad we got it.

Ouchy!
I bought an older version of this chair when my 6 year old was an infant.I was surprised to see that a major design flaw was still present after all these years.The little knobs that act as stops on the bottom of the legs when the chair is used as a rocker are dangerous!I have gotten huge black and blue spots on the tops of my feet at least 3 times from banging them on the chair stops.It hurts like the dickens!My son also did the same thing (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree). I like the fact that it grows with your child and most youngsters make a beeline for it when they visit.

Nothing special
We received this chair as a gift.My baby didn't like to lie back in it, and it seemed too large for her to sit up in it.We put a seat insert in and she liked it better then.The vibrating feature never calmed her--it seemed to annoy her.In the seated position, the toys are not easy to reach, and the musical cow faces away from the baby.We do use this chair every day for our baby to sit in the kitchen with us while we eat dinner, but even now at four months and 15+ pounds, we have to use a seat pad with it otherwise she sinks in too far.I like the concept of this chair, but seems to be a few design flaws.If I was buying myself, I'd look for a different chair. ...

Editorial Review

Be it a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away or right here at home in the 21st century, Mr. Potato Head never fails to reinvent himself. For generations this spectacular spud has wowed us all with his ability to keep up with the times. Now he throws us all for a loop once again to reveal that even he has a Dark Side, taking up the role of the most menacing movie villains of all times: Darth Vader. Donning the trademark black helmet, mask and cape, our favorite tuber wields the infamous red lightsaber to become his own Darth Tater. Of course you’ll still find all the classic accessories like the googly eyes, red nose, and silly tongue we’ve come to love but now with an added twist of Star Wars. As always, all the pieces still fit away inside his body for easy storage.--Chip Quinn ...

Together they shall rule as father and spud...
At 42 years of age, I never thought I would find myself seeking out a Mr. Potato Head.But one look at Darth Tater and I was gone. Darth Tater now has his place on my desk at a respected law firm, but rarely can someone enter my office without playing with him.He sits on my desk, glaring menacingly out the office door at all those who dare to pass by.Generally, once he is spotted perched on his corner of my desk, he is greeted with a smile and his light saber arm is raised up and down.OK, so one coworker called me a dork, but that's OK.She's young and has much to learn.....My advice?Get Darth Tater if you can!!

REVENGE OF THE TATOR!
This is great toy...I always loved Mr. Potato Head & now Darth Tator is my new favorite toy!

Make sure you get your hands on this one while you still can, I know they still have them in stock at other sites.

Oh & one more thing in reference to the guy from Lodi who openly admitted he hates Star Wars...its a shame that he owns one of the Tators & I hope his Tator seeks his revenge & breaks!

I taterly love this toy
my teacher brought this in to school and he isnt even a star wars fan. when i saw it and read the darth tater name i thought it was hilarious and got one myself and i hate starwars i just love darth tater tho

Sure to be a mashing success with "Star Wars" fans...
Okay, I really wish I had come up with "Use the Forks, Luke" first, because no one is going to be able to top that one when it comes to the Mr. Potato Head Darth Tater.But I bet you cannot stop at just one when it comes to riffing on this idea (e.g., Luke and Leia are now Darth Tater Tots and the story takes place "in a grocers far, far away").Not since somebody decided to dress up Barbie in costumes from famous movies has a childhood icon benefited from a commercial tie in to a major motion picture.But not even Barbie as Eliza Doolittle from "My Fair Lady" comes close to the high level of Midi-Cuteians with this toy.

In addition to the "Potato" with it storage space in the back, Mr. Potato Head Darth Tater comes with helmet, mask, cape, feet, arms (right one holding a light saber), eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, and two ears.The mask makes the nose, mouth and tongue incompatible (the mouth and tongue are either/or choices to begin with).Consequently, you can experiment with other looks besides the obvious: lose the mask and cape, put a face together, and the result is pretty cute.Of course, everything works just as well on a real potato for those of you who want to go real Old School on this one.

If the words Mr. Potato Head Darth Tater does not sell you then the picture of this toy has got to seal the deal.There are obviously limited opportunities for companion Potato Heads in this series.Princess Leia's original cinnamon hair buns would work, as would Yoda (albiet with a green potato), but neither of those is ever going to be as cute as this one unless they use some sort of Jedi mind trick.That is because the farce is strong with this one...

I LOVE DARTH TATER!
This is the coolest thing ever!He sits on my desk and watches me with those glaring eyes.He sometimes uses the force to manipulate me.Someone please help me!You are my only hope! ... Read more

A big hit at our house
At first we had trouble getting this disc to play but after doing some research, we did the "scotchtape trick" and we haven't had any problems since.

Our kids LOVE this game - it's easy enough for our 4 year old and still exciting enough for our 10 year old.They like using the Force on objects and slapping silly moustaches on the Princess.They also enjoy changing characters in the Free Play mode.

This game combines the excitement of Star Wars with the kid-friendliness of Legos and results in hours of good clean fun.

good game
I think this is a good game, but it is way to short. I got the vader level in 5 hours and thats how long I played. It did have multyplayer though which made me play with freinds.The best part of the game is the humor and the amount of lego people you can be. like General Grivious and even a droideka. All in all it is beter than the movie game. So buy this one first.

A suprisingly excellent game
Star Wars is one of the greatest movie sagas of all time.Period.You can't deny it.It's part of culture.So are those disturbingly fun Lego toys.So it's a good thing that someone in the videogame world decided to team these two enormously popular brand names together to create a suprisingly good game thats fun for all ages.

As you probably guessed from the title, the star charachters in Lego Star Wars are those adorable little lego charachters, who look like thier counterparts from the movie.We have lots of the first trilogy charachters set here in lego form.Obi-wan, qui-gon, Watto, Sebulba, Count Dooku, Yoda, the battle droids, General grievious (cool!), and almost anyone else you can think of.Even kit fitso (the tentacled guy who smiled in the area battle in episode 2) is in here, in lego form.My favorite charachters?The wookies.They're just so damn cute and cuddly!

The gameplay in Lego Star wars is incredibly simple.You can run, jump, attack, use the force, and thats it.Nothing to it.So simple a child can do it (which is the point!).I really have no complaints or issues here.

Because this game is based on the first three movies in the star wars saga, you play through the biggest scenes from the movies.In episode 1, you escape the federation ship, leave Theed, podrace, return to Theed and fight Darth maul.Episode 2 (which is the shortest section of the game), has you going to Kamino, going through the droid factories, the arena, a gunship, and fighting Count Dooku.Episode 3 is the longest, putting you in many situations from the movie, including the explosive ending battle on Mustafar.

There are many amazing moments within these levels.The big one on one fights are cool, and the scale of some of the battles is amazing (the Kashyyk beach landing comes to mind).One absaloutly amazing moment is the first level of episode 3, where you are piloting a space fighter in the middle of the biggest space battle in star wars history.Though it's a rail shooter (you go on a certian path while things happen around you), it's an incredible level, with things blowing up and fighters engaging one another.At one point you blow a seperatist ship in half!

The graphics here are pretty good.Not too bad, not too good.They simply get the job done, but they look good at the same time.Some levels are amazing to look at, but i'll let you see them for yourself.

The sound is equally good as well.John Williams brilliant musical score is present, and it's still as good as ever.The charachters don't talk, but they do squeak, groan, grunt, shout, or say other things (the droids say "roger roger" and "Uh-oh!".Jar Jar says "Ahh!" upon being blown up).

There's almost no violence in this game, which makes it great for kids.When charachters are defeated, they simply explode into tiny lego pieces.If your charachter is destroyed, they simply come back in a few seconds.There are some lego limbs cut off (hands, legs, etc), but there is never any blood or screaming.Even when charachters die, they simply have little "X"'s for eyes.

I also liked the games sense of humor.While I don't really want to give anything away, there were many moments where I was giggling like mad at a paticularly funny joke or gag.I love how the clone troopers just waddle away as they jog around a level.Rest assured that this is one game that doesn't take itself so seriously.

When you finish the main part of the game, you can then get to work getting all the extras.By collecting studs (the game's version of currency), you can buy new charachters, cheats (such as the enormously expensive invincibility), and fun stuff (such as replacing lightsabers with broomsticks).Overall, there's quite a good amount of replay value here.And let's face it, unlocking new charachters adds to some pretty wacky "what if" combinations, such as Darth maul and Chewbacca teaming up to defeat Count Dooku in episode 3.

Unfortunitly, there is one big problem with Lego Star Wars, which keeps it from getting a five star rating.It's simplicity.Whiel its simple gameplay is nice, it eventually makes it very repetative.You do the same things over and over and over again.No matter what charachters you play as, no matter what level, its all the same in the end.Because of this, i've found that the best way to play the game is in short bursts, maybe an hour or so.

The game is also quite short.I completed all the levels in less then two hours on my first go!It's not a gigantic problem, but it is questionable.

But aside from that, this is a really fun game that i'm definitly going to buy.Though it's a kids game, the fun and simplicity makes it a great game for all ages.Highly recommended.

BEST GAME EVER!!!
THIS GAME AWSOME!!! IT IS THE BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED!! I think that this game was better than Lego Star Wars(I played Revenge of the Sith and Lego Star Wars)! So if you have a hard time decideing for Lego Star Wars and the Rvenge of the Sith game, I sujest the Revenge of the Sith game! And this game is not short.

LOVED IT
My son and I love this game.It is our favorite.He's young, 3 1/2, but he can do most of the stuff after a bit of practice.We couldn't wait to get Darth Vader.I wish it didn't have to end.Hopefully LEGO will come out with another quality game like this.We're hooked!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

LeapFrog is well known for their interactive learning toys and now they've paired with Disney for a princesses' tour of language and math. Cinderella and Belle will help guide your child through various learning activities, such as: letter hunt, spelling games, addition and subtraction games, and number find. Both Belle and Cinderella tell jokes, sing songs, and are generally encouraging with sweet and cheerful voices. If your child decides to stop playing and doesn't turn the laptop off, the princesses ask, "Would you like to play some more?" and if there is no answer, the computer shuts itself off. An LCD screen displays letters, numbers, and other pictures during all the activities. Moms and dads will be glad to note that there are two volumes and virtually no set-up. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (included). --Megan Sullivan ... Read more

Best toy in the house
My 2 1/2 year old received this toy as a gift. She ABSOLUTELY loves her "puter". I fill my house with fun and educational toys and this one is hands down the best. She has been playing with it for a few weeks now and can sing her ABC's from A-K. All her friends want to play with it as well. I only wish they had a "boy" version so my son could have one of his own.

Another good one from LeapFrog
My mother and I were having a garage sale and I very much wanted to clean out and get rid of some toys. After explaining the concept to my daughter that if she sold some toys, she could buy some new ones. Well with her money, she picked this out of everything in the huge toy store. She loves it, she takes it in the car on trips, plays with it at the kitchen table while I am cooking. It's great, educational and something to grow with!

A fun "umputer".
I love it and I am 34yrs old.
My 4yr old loves it. And, as far as I am concerned that is all that matters. The sound, the colors, the characters and the keys all all conducive to the purpose that it was intended for.
I bought it for my daughter so she could use it when I was on our family computer.
The only thing (and its not a big thing)is that I wish the screen was bigger.
I would highly recommend it or buy it as a gift.

Disney's Laptop by LeapFrog
My daughter Lily got this for her 3rd birthday. We have always loved LeapFrog products. This was her favorite present, hands down. My 6 and 9 year olds even love it! I am really impressed by how many things it does. After playing with it for a day Lily can identify some letters and numbers. The music is great, and I LOVE that there is a high low switch, making it a quiet toy as well as a learning toy!

A perfect laptop for your Princess!
Our 3.5 yr old got this for Christmas and LOVES having "my own 'puter". It is easy for her to open for herself and she loves to hear her favorite characters speaking to her! She likes the activity that sounds out words as you type in letters, and gets so excited when she actually makes a word! She also really likes the counting activity. This laptop has been banged around and dropped several times and it is in perfect working condition. ... Read more

A Little Disappointed
I went out and bought this booster seat for my 21 month old daughter. My 3 year old son has a booster seat as well which is a cheaper model (still being sold), and other than being a crumb trap which has to be taken apart to be cleaned it is very useful, it gets him up high so he can sit at the table with us and it allows me to strap him in so he can not get out during meal time. However this Healthy Care Booster Seat is almost worthless. It does not elevate my daughter up high enough to eat at the table (her height is in the 90%), so I have to use the tray. But unfortunately the tray is so small, I can not fit any of my daughters child size plastic plates on it, so I have to put her food on the tray provided, which she can take apart and throw. This chair is easier to clean, but not giving me anything I need.

You will love it, I promise!
I recently got rid of my very expensive Peg Perego high chair and replaced it with this. The high chair was impossible to clean and feeding time turned into a huge mess and left me with a major clean up job every time my 10 month old son ate. I don't know why I ever got a high chair to begin with. Just save yourself the hassle and get this booster instead. I can't think of anything bad to say about it!

The tray fits perfect in my dishwasher and comes out looking brand new after every wash. I love the fact that the tray has 3 different positions when attaching it to the seat; on the closest setting I can get it right up next to my son's chest so that any food he drops falls onto his BIB and not into his LAP (which is what happened with the high chair, I had to change his clothes after every feeding). There are no cracks or crevices for food to fall down into. I also love the fact that it folds up into a neat little square so that I can take it with me when we go to visit Grandma. It's lightweight and takes up much less space than a full size high chair. When not in use, I just slide it under the table so you can barely see it. I love the fact that there is no cushion or seat cover to wash. This booster seat wipes off so easily, I never spend more than a minute wiping it off and it looks brand new. I wish someone had told me about this product before I wasted money on a full size high chair!

Perfect for travel and restaurants
This is a wonderful booster seat. My son is now 14 mo. old, and we bought it when he was around 10 mo. old. I wish I would have gotten it sooner. It is great for eating out - no touching those restaurant highchairs/boosters with all those germs. Who knows how clean those things are? Also, it gives him a tray as opposed to many restaurant booster and high chairs. I can finally put his food down and not worry about what he is touching and trying to spray Lysol on everything. It's great for travel as well. People ask us all the time where we got this, and I tell them it's a baby "must have".

Love this chair
My baby is coming, but I have been baysitting for a friend with a 7 month old...so i use all my baby's things for him when he comes over...This chair is wonderful....It's very comfortable for him and very easy to clean for me. I love the simplicity of the product, yet the many ways you can use it!

Comfy, easy to clean, and convenient...
We got this for Grandma's house. Our big 7 month old loves it! He is comfortable sitting, and enjoys being at table level. I loved how you can pop the tray into the dishwasher. Next time we go visit, I'll just pop the whole thing into the dishwasher to get any dust off it and be sure it's clean. I think we will get one for home too, although we haven't yet. I'm feeling like I need to use the big highchair we got for now - since we did spend $$ on it. I wish I'd just skipped the big chair and gotten this. Oh - and it stores away easily too if you want to tuck it away when company comes or you entertain. Love this chair. ... Read more
