Great for a sitting baby
When I first read the reviews for this before buying it there were a lot that said that a downside was that it was too heavy for the baby to really manipulate, but I bought it anyway because I really liked it and because it was on sale. For the first few months we had it my son really wasn't interested because he couldn't play with it on his stomach or back, but when he turned 5 months and learned to sit it quickly became one of his favorite toys. He plays with it everday for 10-15 minutes at a time, a long time compared to his other toys, and hasn't shown any signs of tiring. The music is wonderful and the colors are bright and attractive. The heavy weight of the toy, I have found, is actually a plus because it helps it to stay sun side up while he is playing with it. I would highly recommend this toy, but just wait until they are sitting and can really play with it

Great for babies and toddlers
My daughter loves this toy and so do we! We also enjoyed the fact that it played music from Peter and the Wolf. This is a great toy that I would definitely recommend!!!!!

great buy
I bought this for my grandson when he was born and took it to the hospital for him.He was premature and had a few health problems among them acid reflux. From the very beginning the music has had a very calming affect on him. The nurses even let my daughter keep it near his bed and played it for him quite a bit. Now at 3 months he still loves it and it works like a charm to calm him down when he's fussy. LIke one of the other reviewers, I to thought it would be larger than it is but---its still a good size toy. It is brightly colored, has flashing lights to get the baby's attention, each sun ray has something different for the baby to do, there's a sound adjustment and the music is the clearest I've ever heard on an infant toy. This is absolutely worth the money (I now have one at my house to) and I would advise anyone to purchase this--(...)

Great toy for the price
my 6 mo. daughter really likes this toy. It has two volume levels and can be set to be motion activated or to play continuously. The classical music is supposed to stimulate baby's mind. She cried the first time she saw it (a couple of months ago) but really enjoys it now. If it scares your baby, try again later. I really like the teether on it because at this age she wants to put everything in her mouth. Also,one corner crinkles, one feels like a beanbag and one squeaks.

My nephew loves it
I bought it for him even though I thought the music and the face were kind of wierd, but he loved it from 1 month & he still loves it at 1 year. My sister says the music is not too loud, and that it's soothing. & Now this is the first toy my husband wants to get for our baby. ... Read more

Boots is in the house!
Our 3 year old daughter loves Boots. She talks to Boots and carries him around the house. We give it 5 stars for educational value because when she talks to Boots she acts out scenes from her Dora videos. This helps her alot with her speech skills and imagination. This is a very well made doll. We are also happy with it's size, it's just perfect for her. It's a great buy!

Fun
Boots goes well with the rest of the Dora the Explorer character toys when the kids want to pick up where the tv left off. They have fun going on explorations or just having them over for tea party. ... Read more

A little girl's best buddy
My daughter, Avery, who is 3 now has carried this dora with her for a year now. Dora's hair is a wreck now, but other than that, she is up for the trip. We also have Boots and Swiper, but Dora is my daughter's pick every time. If we need a toy to entertain her while I have an appointment, for example, Dora is there! This was completely worth the money. ... Read more

I love her!
I love this doll so much! I loved her som much... untill I gave her a bath! she died! I got another! Tkjn

Can't do without!
Affectionately referred to as "baby" by my two-year old daughter, this is her security item. I am ordering two more for times when the one is in the wash or left at granny and papa's house. It is very durable and fares well in the washer and dryer. The softest and cuddliest baby we have found yet.

Baby Girl Loves it
From 6-months to 15-months, my daughter loves this doll so much she doesn't want to go to sleep without it. It comes with us everywhere. I had to buy a second to keep a clean one handy at all times. I just throw it in the washer on warm/cold or hot/cold and wa-la ... a clean 'Dolly' that withstands the high temperatures.

A perfect doll for a baby girl
I love this doll. My daughter received it when she was a few weeks old. It is very soft and safe for babies so it is great in the crib. My daughter loved it from the beginning and by the time she was 6 months old, she would not sleep without it. She is now almost 4 years old, and she still loves it and sleeps hugging it all night. If we can't find it, she won't sleep until we do. We should have bought two in the beginning because after so many times through the wash (4 years), it is pretty worn out. We also have to wash it quickly so that it is dry before nap time! There is something special about this toy. I have never seen a dolly that little girls love so much. I highly recommend this to anyone with a little girl.

Haven't purchased this doll
Want to purchase this doll for my soon to be one year old daughter but there seems to be a problem. As far as I can tell, she doesn't come in African American. I don't think I need to say more. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Small babies love cuddly toys, and they love huge cuddly toysall the more. A caterpillar may not sound like the right creature tochoose for an infant, but, quite aside from its cute expression, thislittle leaf-eater is fully 10 inches wide and only a few inches short of6 feet long. It has a yellow head with a pink nose, stiff red antennae,and black-and-white plastic eyes. The rest of the body is pure"squish"--there are five sections in orange, red, purple, blue, and green(with a little turned-up tail at the end). Each of the four midsections has adifferent word on the side and an associated sound effect within:"tinkle," "crinkle," "rattle," and "squeak." This caterpillar is made ofpolyester and has a washable surface. Make sure you give it lots ofleaves to eat. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Gets better as they get older
My daughter received this as a present when she was born. As an infant, it was used mostly as decoration and as a play area barrier for her before she could crawl over it. Now that she is 4, she loves "riding" on it, making it make noises, and wrapping herself up in it. It sits on the floor of her room, and it looks great. My two year old loves it too. He talks about its colors and loves climbing all over it. My children have a lot of toys and this one guarantees the giggles.

It's good to keep him closed up@
The Catapillar is cute, and goes cute in his room which is bug themed. But it's size in impratical for him to play with at such a young age. But, it's cool anyway.

The Little one is super fun
My son received one of the little ones and he loved the thing so much that I had to replace it twice. The crinkles are exciting for baby and when they learn how to make it squeek it is so fun. I would expect this huge one to be fun for the entire family or for families with several children.

Son's favorite toy
My husband fell in love with this toy when he saw it in the store and just had to have it for our son. When my son was in the early stages of learning to sit on his own, we'd use it for support. I could wrap it around him, and he felt very secure.

Now my son is 10 months old, and he loves to crawl all over it. It was a lot of money but well worth it. ... Read more

Very nice, but there are way better options out there!
My four year old has this backpack (...)My kiddo barely uses this backpack. On her small frame (fits size 5 now), it's very akward for her to walk with it on, because the book ends up being wider than her body. This causes her to get stuck in doors and tight spaces. I usually just end up holding the thing for her, don't know about your kid but mine hates wearing backpacks for long anyway!

The design is hard on their bodies because the book is so flat, and with extra books in the backpack it's very hard against the back.

The backpack doesn't hold many of the books, I can fit maybe 2 in there. (...) Don't buy this, it'll just sit on the shelf!

a must for the leappad
This is a big help in storing the leappad, books and cartridges. It keeps everything organized and is great for travel. You can get the pink one to match the pink leappad or the blue/green one for the blue system. I only wish there were more mesh slots for the cartridges but you can fit 2 in each slot (store 8 cartridges). Well worth it.

Leap Pad Carrier
I like the idea of having a back pack that matches the Leap Pad. The only thing I think is missing is more slots for the small game cartridges. Very durable & easy to carry.

nice carrying case
i bought these for my daughter and niece - it is very nice to use when traveling and just keeping rooms clutter free - it only holds a few books and cassetts, which is good in a sense since my daughter can hold it herself - a good buy.

Great storage item
My daughter loves her Leap Pad and this keeps all her books and cartridges organized and together in one place. I love not having to dig in the toy box for Leap Pad accesories. ... Read more

My baby can't live without her Pierre!
We found Pierre while I was pregnant and I knew I had to buy him for my baby. We introduced our baby to Pierre when she was around 3 months and she loved how soft and squishy he felt. Now (at 11 mos.), Pierre is her comfort toy (so we bought an extra), and she sleeps with him every night. Pierre is definitely part of our family now, and I expect that he will be for a long time to come!

It's Sooooo Cute!
Everyone loves this pig! I like to call him "freak pig" 'cause he sorta looks like an aardvark and a bunny. He's so soft and cuddly that he makes a great pillow!

Cute
Pierre is one of many in a series of different animals. They are all very cute and have unusual and expressive expressions. We own the cows in the series and are looking forward to adding Pierre to the family! ... Read more

Leap to Order
For the price this is a great accessory for your LeapPad! My son gets twice the number of cartridges and books it it with plenty of room to spare. We even have some ziplocks with extras that can fit in no problem. The padded straps are easy on the shoulders and everything is neat and safely transported from grams house to friends to the doctor's office and everywhere in between. If you travel with your little one and their pad this is a great help.

Oh and big deal about the color difference. IF that's such a concern that it warrants a trip back to the store you have WAY too much time on your hands. My advice: use that extra time to read with your child! Life is too short and childhood too precious.

The price is great and IT WORKS just as it should and more. Another great Amazon offering.

Get the LeapPad Storage System instead
Go to Walmart.com. They have a LeapPad Storage System, which holds 12 cartridges and books, for $20. It has a handle so it's just as easy for kids to lug around. And, in my opinion, is much more attractive and practical than a backpack. A much better deal.

Perfect accessory
Just wanted to let everyone know that if your child has the leapfrog, this is a perfect addition. My son receieved the frog for x-mas, and I could not find a case anywhere. The books and tapes were everywhere, know they are all together, and he thinks it is cool to have a little backpack. Plus as an added bonus, the green and blue, are the same colors as the leapfrog, so we also coordinated.

A great way to store your Leappad
I actually received this as a "bonus" when I bought my Leap Pad from my local retailer.

This is an excellent solution to the question "where do you store your Leap Pad, cartridges and books so they don't get damanged".

I have found that my 4 year old has no problem opening and closing the backpack, getting the books and cartridges out (and more importantly putting them away!)but once everything is packed up she does find it a little awkward to put on her back herself and finds it a little heavy on her back. She prefers to carry it by her side.

Perfect size when you are starting your Leap Pad collection.

Buyer beware. Not as shown!!
This item does not come as shown. It does not match the colors of the leappad. I am returning it. ... Read more
