Playskool Walk N' Ride

My 11 month old (almost) absolutely loves her Playskool Walk N' Ride. It converts from a push toy to a ride-on, so it will be around for a while. It also has a few cranks and turns, to help teach cause and effect. All the children I know of that have one have had lots of success with learning to walk. All of them before 11 months, with the exception of 2. So a 90% rate of walking sooner.

Fun, non-violent playthings for youngsters
Fisher Price Little People Farm

I have a 2 year old that loves this!! I bought it for her for Christmas last year, and she still plays with it every day. It folds up for easy storage, and has little chubby animals, as well as a farmer Jed, to play with. You can even push the little platform on it, and it sings two different songs (The Farmer in the Dell, and Old McDonald). My daughter loves to put each animal in the bed on the top platform, and throw them threw the window! She also likes to put each animal in their little beds (stalls, nests, mudhole, etc) and listen to the animal sounds. We have had this since Christmas, and still not changed the four AA batteries!

Graco MetroLite Stroller

I love this stroller...it is very versatile and very well compact when folded...which is why I got the stroller in the first place, b/c of limited trunk room in my car. It has all the "extra" features we all have come to love...For example, the shopping basket underneath the seat is very large. Also, it has 2 cupholders on the handlebar for those special days when you go shopping. You have a place for your drink. It also has a child's tray that flips forward so that you can get your child in and out easier. That includes a snack area as well as a child's size cupholder for sippy cups or bottles. I would highly recommend this product!!

Fisher Price Lights and Sounds Play Gym
We bought our daughter the lights and sounds Fisher Price Play Gym. It is for ages birth and up. We thought it was a great toy to get her because it was adjustable from something she could kick and make the lights and music work to her toddler stages where we could adjust it as something for her to stand up and play like a piano. The operative word here is THOUGHT! While it looks sturdily constructed, it actually isnt. The large lighted keys have gaps to pinch baby. We found this out the hard way. Our daughter in her "everything goes in the mouth" stage, bent down to "taste" one of the lighted keys. There upon catching her lip in the plastic moldings and pinching off a fair chunk of skin. Had it been a finger, it would've required stiches. I would not recommend this toy for a toddler. Sorry folks, but wouldnt want your little sweeties getting hurt as ours did

Maxi-Mega Blocks (120 piece set)
I bought this last week for my daughter (2 1/2). They have lots of colorful blocks that are bigger than the usual legos.She was very fond of the little girl and boy that came with the set. However, I think maybe she will like them more when she is a little bit older, as it is hard for her to push the blocks together to make anything. We have to help her. They say for ages 1-3. I would recommend them, because I think it is really fun to help her build things. But if you are looking for a toy for your child to play alone, I dont know if this would be what you need.
