Advantages: Great shape sorter & design.
Disadvantages: None.

...~*~*~*~TOMY HAPPY SHAPE~*~*~*~* *~*~*~*WHAT DOE'S IT LOOK LIKE~*~*~*~* The shape sorter is constructed in an innovative U-Shape Curved Pipe design with 2 openings. One end is Shape Sorter and the other end is a Giant Feely Box. There is a "foot" so that the U can be turned in either direction. As far as shape sorters go, Tomy Happy Shapes is selective, containing just 3 shapes, no more no less. Its back to the basics: circle, triangle, and square. Unlike the Tupperware Shape-O-Toy and Vtech Sort 'n Go car which include other "fancier" shapes, such as a Star, Heart, etc, Tomy Happy Shapes sticks with the Basic 3. Any more than that and its confusing, overwhelming, and advanced. While these other more inclusive Shape Sorters are fun and educational toys as well, they are not for the beginner. If you are looking... Read review

...Tomy Happy Shape. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is tomy happy shape? Tomy happy shape is otherwise known as a shape sorter, you must remember these from when you were a wee one. There are many shape sorters around these days, some more complicated than others. The tomy happy shape is a very simple one and great as a babys first shape sorter.

...Tomy Happy Stack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yet another great toy by tomy. What is the tomy happy stack. Now im sure you all know what a toy stack is, however the tomy happy stack is slightly different from the one I used to play with. The one I used to have was a platform with a pole in the middle and you used to place the different size rings on top of each other. However the tomy happy stack these days consists of a purple base, a blue and white ball with a happy face and 5 stacking rings that dont have holes in them, on the underside of the ring is a hollow ball shape hole and on the top is a ball, see my pictures if you dont understand what im talking about. The rings are all different colours, turquoise, green, yellow, orange and pink and all have... Read review

Advantages: Small size, easily carried around
Disadvantages: Difficult chanel tuning

...The Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance is described as the bestselling baby monitor in the UK. I have had this baby monitor now for about 6 months and I must say it still hassle me although it does work. The monitor has 4 channels which the manufacturer thinks makes it easier to find one that's interference free. I can only disagree. Every time I turn the monitor on I need to search for the right channel. This can sometimes take up to several minutes although it is meant to remember which channel was selected when you next switch on. The monitor has a 300m range, so it can be easily carried around the house and the garden for flexible, portable monitoring which does work. I have tried it out and even in the garden the reception is good. Tomy has integrated a 2-way communication which is described as being "handy for when baby... Read review

Advantages: Fulfils all your needs
Disadvantages: AA batteries required in the baby unit

...airwaves are used for all baby monitors so be aware that you may be overheard. 5. My only complaint of the entire system is that the baby unit requires AA batteries, the parent unit has built in rechargeable batteries and as such is great. In reality you do tend to move baby around in the Moses basket and so on, so the baby unit travels with it. Sometimes near a plug socket so the AA batteries are not needed but sometimes you have to use them. The drawback then becomes that the nightlight does not work when you have the baby unit disconnected from the mains. Tomy should rethink this one. The parent unit in brief has the following functions: 1. Temperature LCD display 2. Light display on/off 3. Moving light/audible transmission 4. Portable unit 5. Volume control In detail 1. As discussed above the parent unit displays... Read review

Advantages: simple to set up, well known name
Disadvantages: suffered with interference badly and we took it back

...after finally bringing our very premmie babe back from hosp, obviously we needed a monitor we could rely on and feel safe with. We were very disappointed with this product. As another reviewer has said, the word DIGITAL on the front is deceiving, as you think you're getting something very advanced for a cheap price - don't be fooled. the temperature is the only digital feature, and even that wasn't that useful. We had this last summer in a heatwave and because the temp reading only goes up a certain way, it just constanly read "above 23". we chose Tomy as a good brand name, and although easy to set up initially the monitor seemed to make hissing, humming and other strange noises constantly. There was also a rhythmic hum every 4 or 5 seconds - just think Japanese water torture and you're there. After phoning the Tomy... Read review

Advantages: gives your hands freedom
Disadvantages: not suitable for new babies

...I purchased a tomy baby bath seat when I had my first baby. I liked the idea that she could sit up in the bath with out me having to hold her, which was easier for washing her hair. They are really easy to use. They have little suction pads on the bottom that suction to the bottom of the bath and then you put a bit of water in the bottom of the bath and sit your baby in the seat. It is round and has support for your baby so your baby cannot fall down and slip under the water. Your baby can then play with their bath toys while sitting in the bath seat. But you must NEVER leave your baby in the seat and go out of the room just in case something did happen and your baby slide under the water. Using one of these seats gives you free hands for playing and cleaning your baby and washing there you can get the shampoo and open it with both... Read review
