Magnetix I-Coaster

My son wanted this sooo bad for his 10th birthday.
He set it up ok, but no cord to hook up mp3.
With the already high price this is a extra, ouch!
Speaker is wimpy and cheep! Tracks fall off with the slightest movement. ect..
He wants to keep it as he is a whiz at fixing things.
Not recommended. The cat likes to watch the ball.
He sits at the part of the trac read more..

LeapFrog Clickstart My First Computer

My son got this as a Christmas gift when he was three and a half years of age. The games were too easy to master and there are not enough of them. The games that can be purchased to go with it do not increase in difficulty. I would not recommend this for any preschooler. This will not keep their attention for very long and the games are expensive for the length of time they would be able to use th read more..

WowWee Alive Lion Cub Plush Robotic Toy in Tan

The WowWee Lion Club is wonderful and my 13 month old friend loved it. The eyes and mouth worked great after I changed the original batteries but the purring part did not. What a hassle to have to send it back to Amazon for a refund, especially since it came in a box large enough to hold an Ambrams Army tank. Even so, I am trying again and reordered based on the child's reaction and her parents read more..

Mission Paintball

This game works. It works fine. In fact, the game itself is good. However, it would have been better with the same game mechanics but with the guise of a classic arcade-style zombie shooter, like Area 51. read more..

Fisher Price Kid Tough FP3 Song & Story Player - Blue

NOWHERE on the packaging is this mentioned!! My husband and I spent a couple of hours trying to load the software and get it to run with no avail. I went and checked out other reviews on Amamzon and found others saying the same thing. Great toy, antiquated software. Use a neighbors/family members XP operating system or send it back!! read more..

Littlest Pet Shop VIP Bunny

My granddaughter just got a VIP set and was excited to enter the virtual world, but then we accidentally lost her password, and neither of us can remember it.

We are unable to enter the game, so she is crying now that her pet is not being cared for.

I've contacted Hasbro but with no luck.

I think this toy would be better if they had a back-up retrieval sy read more..

D-REX Interactive Dinosaur

This toy isn't much better than most of the remote controlled toys you see out there. However, Mattell is putting a HUGE amount of advertising and hype into it for Christmas. I hate that toy companies sucker parents into buying a 2 hour thrill for their media-driven and gullible children. Save your money--ignore the commercials and go check it out first. read more..

Flingshot Flying Monkey

I don't understand how this got so many positive reviews. I bought ten of these for a birthday party and all the kids and adults had trouble getting the monkeys to fly. I loved the idea, but they just don't fly very far at all. In addition, the monkey makes a screaching annoying and loud noise! read more..

WowWee Rovio Wi-Fi Enabled Robotic WebCam

I bought this little robot because I want my family and friends abroad to be able to communicate with me in a cool way (Skype and the likes are too "static" ;-).

The browser user interface is very well designed and easy to learn and use. The idea es very good but unfortunately it lacks key features. Also I had problems with my unit. I'm sure it'll get better but for now I returned and read more..

iPlay Zoom Around Garage

Luckily (for me) my mom bought this expensive toy for my son. He got it when he was around 12 months old and didn't really play with it much for the first six months. He initially was afraid of the sounds it made! He mainly tore off the arc with the "P" on it to use for teething. Later on he snapped the little barrier arm to the elevator in two-which created a potential choking hazard in the s read more..

Tiny Love Gymini Super Deluxe - Lights&Music

I was disappointed in this mat, based on the fact that I was looking for something to encourage my 5 month old son in his tummy time. I thought the musical buttons on the mat would be great cause and effect fun, but they are hard to press. Sometimes he can make them work if he hits them with his heel, but then he has to be on his back which is not the point for tummy time! If you are looking for a read more..

WEBKINZ - Seal

The seal doesnt have much hair. In fact the "hairs" appear to be like string. It doesnt have much so the seal is a bit strangly or bald. Got ours and it already lost one string just after getting it out of its box and gently handling it.

Fisher-Price Walker-To-Wagon

I agree whole heartedly with the reviewer who pointed out the design flaw in the rear wheels. When the toy is in the walker mode, the area between the 2 rear wheels is way too small and there are sharp parts (meant for the wagon mode) that can hurt baby's feet. Also, when in the walker mode, the shape sorter is not easily accessible. In my opinion, this toy is not worth the money. If you already h read more..

Make Your Own Lip Balm

Fun idea and not too hard to do, but end product doesn't work very well and the whole thing is pretty sticky/messy.

Did this for my daughters 8th birthday party and would NOT recommend it read more..

XPV Super Terranator Orange 27 MHz

i got one with my own money and it worked but it over heats too quickly mine gave out a couple days after i got it bottom line it sucked read more..

Fisher-Price Smart Cycle

I don't think I would waste my money again. It does go through batteries extremely quickly and it is difficult to make sure your 3 year old always turns it off. It does frequently "freeze up", which is very frustrating. The pedals rotate loosely (not enough resistance), so it has been difficult for my 3 year old to control.

For $100, I wouldn't recommend it. read more..

Hasbro Playskool Crew Dusty The Talking Vacuum

I got this for my son he likes it but after having it a couple weeks Dusty quit talking and wont talk anymore. I contacted amazon and they said they qould give me a credit but they didnt have any to replace it with. So amazon did good on thier part of trying to take of the situation. read more..

Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer & Stroll Trike

I read the other reviews about not being able to assemble it or parts not working correctly and I haven't had any of those problems. It has worked as advertised for our child so we have like it but now, we are disappointed. Our son has outbrown the need to have a parent steer it for him so we removed the parent steering to allow him to do on his own and guess what? It has no brakes. We live in read more..

Fisher Price Little People Racin' Ramps Garage

I bought this for my son's first birthday and I am extremely disappointed. First, about a week after I ordered it, I received a Fisher Price catalog and realized I paid $11 too much for it. After assembling it, we realized there is no access to the ramp on the second floor and then my 3 year old daughter tried to use the elevator and couldn't. After the second floor it is extremely difficult to read more..

Nightmare Before Christmas Jack and Sally 7" Plush set

I wasn't happy with this. It was a gift for a NBC fan. It was a while back but I remember feeling foolish that I paid that much for it. If you saw it in a store you would expect to pay $2 tops. I think she liked it as a fan, but it was more like a christmas ornament than a doll.

To be fair, I probably didn't read the description well enough, and maybe my expectations were unrealist read more..

Star Kitchen

When my 3.5 year old son received this toy, he started to play with it right away. However, after less than 1 hour play, the sound is gone which the most fun part of the toy. Both him and I were very disappointed by this. I've never had any toy that gone bad that fast. Not sure whether it is our bad luck or this toy has bad quality issue. read more..

Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Learning Puppy

The yellow foot sensor is so sensitive that it goes off all the time, so we just named him Yellow Foot.

On the song setting, it would be nice to have a delay feature of some kind that lets the song finish even if another sensor is pushed. I can appreciate that, because of the target age, the sensors need to be easy to push, but I think they are a bit over sensitive in general. My dau read more..

Fisher-Price Elmo Live

$100 for a two to three year old - yeah, maybe for Donald Trump's kid! Or one of those CEO's with the golden parachutes from wall street! Not for "main street, america" or even sesame street, america. read more..

Fisher-Price Kid Tough Portable DVD Player Pink

Very tough and my 4 year old found it very easy to use. You can drop this and the video does cut out but it does resume within a few seconds. The viewing screen is very small and the rechargeable batteries don't last very long. If you are going on a long car trip make sure you buy the car charger for it. Not worth the money! read more..

Spinmaster Air Hogs Battling Havoc R/ C Helicopters

These helicopters were a ton of fun..for about an hour before they broke. The are very fragile and difficult to manuver. That makes for a bad combination. My kids went from being really excited to completely disappointed. read more..

Alex Toys Squirt the Pelican

I bought this as a gift for my 1 year old nephew. He loved it, however, his mom woke up at 3 am because the pelican would not stop sqwuaking! She couldn't get the batteries out and started to hit it to make it stop! Finally, after about fifteen minutes she placed it into the fridge and eventually the batteries wore out! Very durable, but very noisy! read more..

Vtech - V.Smile Cyber Pocket

has anyone had problems with the cyber smile shutting off while playing it or not turning on at all? i have exchanged it three times and they all stop working while my kid is playing with it and then don't turn back on at all....just wondering if i found all three defective ones or if anyone else has the same problem. read more..

Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake

I was a huge fan of Melissa and Doug products. I went in to buy this set at a local toy store and was saddened to see the Made in China label- in fact all the products that were in that particular store by Melissa and Doug were made in China. What bothered me about that fact was that they market themselves as USA made and that clearly isn't the fact anymore.

I chose not to buy it any read more..

Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium

We had this toy for a little over 4 months and it just stopped working. It wasn't even used daily. It started acting funny, the lights would go out and the music would slur so I thought the batteries were getting low. I replaced the batteries with all new Energizer brand batteries and it seemed to work okay. 2 days later it won't even come on.. read more..

Infant Stim-Mobile

As an ophthalmologist, I can attest to the functional utility of this product. Newborns truly are drawn to high contrast patterns--but this product is so poorly made I would not recommend it. The plastic cards are badly made--3 of them were broken straight out of the box such that I had to use tape to put them back together. In addition, the holes in the card to attach to the main apparatus are read more..
