My First Ready Bed - what a fab product!

Advantages: Fun, easy to use and great value for money
Disadvantages: None Found!

...when we found the 'My First Ready Bed' (suitable from 18 months to 5 years old) on the Great Little Trading Co web site. It is an inflatable junior sized bed (125 cm long by 71 cm wide and 30 cm high when inflated) with two bumpers which run down either side to ensure your little sweetie doesn't roll out. It is super easy to use, just put the plastic lilo style bed inside the cover, pump it up with the pump provided, close the Velcro seals on the cover and you're ready for bed! It takes less than five minutes - fantastic! The pump comes with two settings to inflate and deflate. The inflating, as just mentioned, is great. The deflating takes a while and I found it less hassle to just unplug the stopper and leave it to deflate while we have breakfast! When deflated, it easily folds into a handy carry bag approximately 30 cm in...

Review of My First Ready Bed

My First.....

Advantages: Introduces children to shapes.
Disadvantages: Not the most exciting of books compared to recent publications on the same theme.

...'. - Price - My copy is a hardcover, ISBN: 0-19-910482-4 and was originally £5.99 but is currently available from amazon for £1.03. - Other books in the series - My first ?. ~ alphabet book ~ counting book ~ book of colours ~ book of time ~ book of opposites - Verdict - I bought this book in the late 90s and I still use it today with younger children, alongside the more recent, brightly coloured publications. As stated earlier, it certainly does what is intended and is a good, basic introduction to 2D shapes for children. N.B. This review also appears on dooyoo....

Review of My First Book of Shapes - Peter Patilla

My baby can play the Piano!

Advantages: Great mover
Disadvantages: Instructions could of been better.

...Buying Decision I bought this walker in particular, because I had heard so many great things about it on this review website (CIAO). Apparently it was a good mover and had very nice tunes to play. These were an understatement of all the little things it can do. Firstly, lets talk about why I was looking to buy a baby walker. Well my daughter Isabella is just over 8 months and is always trying to pull herself up and walk around the furniture. She is very strong on her legs and hates just being put down to sit. She goes all stuff, like a plank of wood when I try to sit her down! So I decided she was at that age where maybe a walker would satisfy her needs allot more! Where I bought it from I ordered it from Littlewoods at £60.00 but you can pay monthly for it so it may be more expensive there than on the internet...

My First Scalextric Set

Advantages: Great starter-set
Disadvantages: One is not enough?

... My First Scalextric Set Having seen the Ad on TV and Boy really desparate for one I thought this the best to go for in the way of remote control race track as at 4 he's really not old enough for a big expensive set so he got this for Christmas. Cost us £30 from Toys'r'Us though can be found in many other stores and on-line, the price is about the same everywhere but you may find it a bit cheaper. Age on box states not suitable for under 3 years, due to small parts and functional sharp edges - we haven't found any particularly sharp bits yet ? so unsure which bits that refers to. Also tells you that new controllers may become warm and emit vapour and give off slight smell -this is normal and disappears after use. Nice ! Our first Race.. The track is easy enough to click together, to create a simple figure of eight...

Review of Scalextric My First Scalextric Set

Taking Our First Steps with V-Tech

Advantages: Helps promote a large number of different learning skills for your toddler.
Disadvantages: The walker unit may only get limited usage from it.

...I am always on the lookout for good deals on toys for my son, as toys are so expensive nowadays. I frequent Amazon far too much and I am forever ordering goods from there. The prices on a lot of products on Amazon seem to fluctuate quite a lot so I always wait for the prices to drop on items before I purchase them. Whilst browsing through the toys I happened to notice the VTech First Steps Baby Walker was reduced down to £14.26, I also had a £10 voucher to spend so I couldn't resist a bargain and I paid the meagre sum of just £4.26 which I was most pleased with. The retail price of this is £24.99 however if you shop around you may find it much cheaper and it can be found on sale from time to time. This toy is suitable for children from 6 months - 30 months; my son was 15 months when I bought this so he wasn't going to getting as...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

vtech first steps baby walker

Advantages: good price, very safe
Disadvantages: hard to clean, quite bulky

...My daughter loved this toy! I wouldnt say it helped her walk as she preferred the couch for that! All babies do however develop differently and I suppose it should not be interpreted as an aid to walk, when she could walk efficently she did liek pushing this along! It did keep her amused as she used to sit and push all the button and loved all the noises it made! It is very bright and colourfull so excellent for a small child/ toddler. it is quite a nightmare to clean as it has so many little grooves and buttons I was scared to spray any product on it incase it stopped anything working, it was however excellent value for money i also picked it up on sale which was an even bigger bonus!!...

My Baby Book - A First Five Year Diary.

Advantages: Good for keeping memories
Disadvantages: Might forget to fill it in

...As I got to the end of my pregnancy, my Boss bought me a really good Baby Book. It?s one of the 5 year ones, with cute little bears on the front and back, and it was brightly coloured. The book was compiled and designed by Desmond Marwood and Illustrated by Patricia Ludlow. It was first published in 2001 by Brown Watson, reprinted twice in 2002, twice in 2003 and twice again in 2004. There are 48 pages in total. I?m not sure of the price because as I said, it was a gift. As the book is quite long, I?m not going to review the whole of it, I?m just going to review half of it. The book cover is shiny and seems to have some sort of padded covering, and the pages are coated too, which gives them a nice glossy finish. The book begins with a contents page. The font through out this book is Kristen ITC. There are six pictures...

Review of VTech First Steps Baby Walker

My Baby Boy Has His First Hair Cut!

Advantages: Easy to use, lightweight, and quiet.
Disadvantages: No scissers provided.

...My baby boy didn?t come into the world with much hair, and it took quite a while until he had a full head of hair. Once he was able to move his head from side to side in his cot he started to lose some hair as most newborns do. This left him with bald patches in places so when his hair started to grow again it was all different lengths. I have always cut the tips of my daughter?s hair to keep it healthy and to prevent split ends so I have always had a good set of hair dressing scissors. So when my son?s hair started to look untidy I carefully trimmed the tips of his hair. This was quite difficult to do as baby hair is very soft so it would easily slip through my fingers. Also it was never easy to do as he has always been quite active. Once he had become mobile it was even harder to get him to sit still for long enough for me to trim his...

Review of Wahl WM8477-800 First Cut Clipper Kit

Approved baby walker by my health visitor

Advantages: Did exactly what it said on the tin
Disadvantages: Sometimes didnt stop playing music

...Vtech First Steps Baby Walker. I got this when my daughter was around 9months old as she was standing up a lot and walking along whilst she was holding on to my sofa. So I thought it would be a good idea to get her a walker to encourage her to walk. There is a lot of choice of ones to buy and I eventually bought this one for around 20pounds (Once again just like to say my pound sign does not work on my pc) from Toys R us. What she thought. Once I got it out she was really excited I stood her up to show her what it was for and she picked it up straight away, but she sometimes went to fast and would fall but she really enjoyed it. She loves playing with the toys on the front even now at 1yr old. The phone which attaches to it is one of here favourite toys as she pretends to speak to people like a real phone. Eventually over...
