Shop For Sweet Baby Nursery Stroller, Play Alexander Series


I just received the stroller today and can't wait to see my two-year-old's face on Christmas morning. The only assembly needed was to pop on the wheels (no instructions in box, but all you have to do is remove the black covering on the wheel post, push the round silver pin in on the wheel, push wheel onto the post, then let go of pin to hold wheel in place.....very easy...just looking at it, I figured out how to do it). The product dimensions given must be the folded size. I like that the stroller folds like a real baby stroller for storage or travel. The handle bar adjusts by bending (up or down) at the blue knob you see in the photo. The seat easily adjusts to different positions (sitting straight up and then leaning back a couple of positions). There is a zippered compartment on the hanging fabric in the back. We currently have one of those fold-up umbrella-type doll strollers and there is no comparison. This is probably twice the size and much better quality. Even though my daughter hasn't played with it yet, I'm sure it will hold up very well. Frame and wheels seem very durable and fabric is good quality too. I am very happy with this purchase.Get more detail about Sweet Baby Nursery Stroller, Play Alexander Series.

Mattel Barbie 2007 Holiday Collector Doll Review


Mattel Lacking in Product Presentation - Holes in Fabric

Why does Mattel insist on poking a hole through every fine fabric costume on collectible dolls with a needle and thread or plastic t-tie? Just try to remove the doll from the box without having a snag in the fabric. I struggled to remove the doll without pulling the t-ties through the fabric. It made two holes/snags in each pleat in the FRONT of the gown. The doll dress is simply too long to fit in the box without wrinkling.

After the millions of dolls they have sold, could their staff devise a way to keep the doll in the box without having to sew the dress to the box?

If the collector wishes to display the doll outside the box, they must try to carefully remove the thread - which still leaves the hole poked through the fabric in front of gown.

Why would someone pay this much money for a doll with a with holes punched through the fabric?

Madame Alexander - a premier doll manufacturer years - has for years securely fastened their dolls with a simple ribbon or rigid plastic forms. Why can't Mattel do the same?

Totally Stylin' Tattoos Barbie This instant


Finally, a barbie for those children who don't have closed-minded parents :D! But, in my opinion, barbies are not good for children anyways. There is NO educational value from ANY barbie your child will ever play with. So stop hating on this barbie and realize that all barbies have a negative influence on all kids. You have the option of teaching your little girl that she should constantly go through life trying to look perfect to please others. Or, she can learn from barbie that she can express her artistic side with some ink. Either way, barbies are not a good present for your children =|. Might I suggest a good coloring book and crayons? Or maybe a kids computer that teaches children math, different languages, and such instead?Get more detail about Totally Stylin' Tattoos Barbie.

Calico Critters: Baby Playhouse Windmill Best Quality


I think this product is very imaginative and durable. The only reason I gave durability four stars instead of five is because there are some small parts that come off (they are meant to), sometimes my daughter needs help putting them back on, but as far as the toy is made, it's made very durably. I'm sure this toy is intended for children older than two, but we gave this toy to my daughter when she turned two because she had played with it at a toy store, and she LOVES this toy. She's now had it for six months and she still plays with it all the time. The rabbit family and baby rabbit twins accompanied the house when we gave it to her (purchased separately). It is expensive, but my daughter has definitely gotten our money's worth out of it. There are some smaller pieces that you'll want to remove if your child gets easily frusterated or is still younger than three or maybe even four (such as the very charming little baby mobile on the 2nd floor, which is in four parts). We also bought her the playground set, but at age two she couldn't yet get the rabbits to stay on the equipment, so we've set that aside until she's a little older.
