IPhone 3G used's review (Good for toddlers too) 『Recommended age for this toy is 36 months, but my 20-month old daughter was never a "mouther", so I wasn't too worried about her swallowing small parts. She was very fascinated by these cars, and she figured out the concept of pegs and holes surprisingly quickly. She was able to put together various cars by herself and entertained herself for 30 minutes at a time, a very long time for a young toddler. We might increase this collection in the future, but it was definitely one of the best toys for her in her second year of life. 』
(Fun and Cool!) 『We got our son his first automoblox mini when he was around 2.5 years old. He needed help pulling off the tires and putting them back on. Then he kept dropping it off the second floor into the entry downstairs (not a recommended usage), and one of the wheels actually cracked, but Daddy fixed it w/ super glue. It got put away for a few months until he could resist the temptation to conduct more gravity experiments. After age 3, he had a blast taking it apart, putting it back together (all by himself), and driving it around. It's also helping him figure out what the different car parts are called. We've got a long car trip coming up, so I ordered this 3 pack to keep him occupied on our journey. I know he'll love having more mini automoblox to play with.』
(TOP QUALITY AND OH SO FUN!!!) 『My three year old son and I had been "window shopping" these products online for a few months before his birthday. We gave him several full size and several minis so he could change the parts around. And oh has he!
These cars are solid blocks of wood. The plastic seems durable as nothing has been scratched yet. We have rolled them into the island a few times but have decided not to "crash" them as they are just too nice. They are heirloom quality. No one will be handing these down so go buy your own!!!
My husband and I joked about a commercial where the parents put the children to bed as fast as possible, scrambling around so they can get back to playing with the automoblox. We were cleaning up really!
If you aren't satisfied with these products, nothing will make you happy.
I could go on and on but I think you should just by a few and find out for yourself. One is definately not enough!
***The reviewer who gave this one star was upset with the seller and put his review in the wrong place. But the AUTOMOBLOX people are top-notch in customer service and will reply to you directly if you contact them via their website. (I only wrote to thank them for such amazing vehicles and to inquire as to when the white one and more minis would be available.)』
(A t great gift idea for all ages!!!) 『I purchased this toy for as a gift for my nephew (age 3). He was a little disappointed in the gift only because he couldn't get them away from his dad and my son (age 9). They all really enjoyed making taking the pieces apart and creating new and different rides. I will definetly make another purchase.』
(Kids have to fight me to play with them) 『Fantastic little cars from Automoblox. Bought them for my kids after not being able to find them in the stores. They have the same durable construction and sleek design as their bigger counterparts. My kids loved showing them off in pre-school, and I typically keep one or two at my desk when I need a minute of diversion. Great birthday toy for 2-4 year olds; no one else will bring the same thing! Can't wait until the different colors and styles come out. Keep the box -- these are sure to become a collector's item.』 『The Automoblox Mini line is a scaled down version of the tradional Automoblox car. It features future-retro styling and fits in the palm of your hand! Mini cars have a new universal connector system that enables the rapid interchange of parts, further accentuating the fun factor of creating different car styles.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Highly Education and Highly Tedious) 『Let me say this game it perfect for teaching basic game rules and counting.
That said, this game is so tedious, it even bores ritualistic 3-7 year olds.
You put the cherries on the tree, you move them one by one into the bucket, and just when someone has almost picked all the cherries and the misery is almost over, you spin a dog, bird, or spilled bucket and start over again.
Utter torture.』
(Like the new various colors) 『We used to have my sister's kids older game and all of the cherries were red. We lost some pieces so we bought another game. The new games have four different colors. This makes it easier to keep track of the cherries. They even give a couple more of each color in case you lose some. However, just like the original game, the cherries are small so they pose a choking hazard if played around younger children.』
(great educational toy but be careful with the small parts) 『My daughter who is 3 1/2 and her cousin who is 7 had a good time playing this game together but adult supervision needed to be close at hand to help out with the concept of sharing ect. It is a great way to learn about different fruits, numbers, counting and colors. My son who is 2 and our nephew who is 3 1/2 tend to put quite a few things in their mouths so I was a little concerned and stayed right there while they were both playing the game or watching the girls play because I was concerned about the possibility of choking. All and all it is a great educational game full of great opportunities to teach the fundamentals of colors and counting as well as sharing.』
(Hi, Ho Cherry-O) 『Seriously, who doesn't love this game? Very tolerable by adults to play. Teaches counting and my child still enjoys playing (she is 6) after having it several years. If you don't have it, you should get it. It is quick and easy to play so kids don't get bored mid game. Sure sometimes the cherries can get knocked off the tree, but my daughter figured out if you put the little stem part down inside the hole that hardly ever happens. Recommend! It would be a good staple to your game collection.』
(Hi Ho Cherry O) 『This was a cool game when I was a boy. Now my son will learn to count and have fun with the family too.』 『Round and round she goes. Hi Ho! Cherry-O is the counting game in which players race to be the first to have 10 cherries in their basket. A spin of the arrow determines your fate. It will instruct you to pick one, two, three, or four cherries from your tree and put 'em in your basket. That is, of course, if you don't land on the bird or the dog, requiring you to take two cherries from your basket and return them to the tree. And try not to land on the spilled bucket or--you guessed it--spill the contents of your basket or you start over.--Alison Golder』 『For over 30 years, Hi Ho! Cherry-O has delighted children and parents with its simple-yet-fun introduction to counting. Children try to be first to pick their trees clean, filling their buckets with cherries. Just watch out for the dog, the bird, and the spilled bucket! Colors and parts may vary. No reading required. Includes gameboard, four cherry buckets and 40 plastic cherries.

She had one of every breed and loved that they have their own little spot to go in. I just wish there where little hooks on the back so I could hang it on the wall.』
(great for little girls who love horses!) 『My 7 year old is crazy about horses, and this product is a great value because you get 12 little horses for the price you might usually pay for 2 or 3 horses. All you moms out there who have literally a hundred little "horseys" laying around the house will appreciate this! My daughter plays with them for hours. The back of the box also identifies each of the 12 horse breeds, and gives a little story about the horse, so the product is somewhat educational. I gave this product a less than perfect score on the measure of "durability" because the horses are small and the legs could break off if stepped on or thrown in the bottom of a toy box.』
(Horse play) 『My daughter 6 enjoys houses. These horses are sturdy when standing. She enjoys playing with them but as a parent I would not have purchased this product had I seen it in a store due to size and case.』
(Enjoyable but tails come out) 『My daughter loves horses and received this before she was two. She plays with it almost every day and builds barns for all the horses, but the tails can be pulled out fairly easily. They can be forced back in, but they are coming out more frequently the more she plays with the toy.』
(Pasture pals) 『I love this gift! Great price for what you get. These are small horses but are still great. They are soft so you can't let them get wet. My daughter just adores them! Great gift.』 『Here's a whole 'neigh'borhood of horses to play with and collect. The 12 different-textured horses come with an identification key and store neatly in a wooden stable storage box. A wonderful gift for equestrians of all ages.』

It's great that it works with all the matchbox cars that you may have laying around. You can race different ones to see which ones are fastest. But it didn't hold their attention as long as other toys.』
(I like it...except...) 『My 2 year old son really likes playing with this. I was a bit dissapointed because the description says it is compatable with other diecast cars. My son has a ton of them so I thought it would be cool, however, 95% of them are too big. It works great with the two small (plastic) cars it comes with, but even the smaller hotwheel cars don't work too well on it. Overall I like it since my son has fun with it, but I'll have to try and find some small cars to fit it in case he loses one of the two it comes with.』
(hours of entertainment!) 『My daughter saw this toy at a birthday party and played with it the whole party! I got it for her and she plays with it for hours. It is a no brainer...you put the cars on the lift, pull on the lever and watch them race...not much to the toy but it keeps kids entertained. It is made of durable plastic and does have sounds like just about every toy at this age range but it not too noisy. I would recommend this to other parents because with all of us being young at heart it is fun for us too!』
(Other Cars DO NOT Work!!) 『I bought this after reading other reviews saying other hotwheels, matchbox cars, and diecast Pixar Character cars would work... they don't! The tracks are not wide enough to accommodate other cars (we tried about 30 different ones!), they get stuck halfway down. The cars that come with the set are much smaller than most die cast cars. A little frustrating considering the price. I would return it for a refund but my son loves it, he doesn't seem to mind only being able to use the cars it came with.』
(A Pretty Fun Toy) 『This is a pretty fun toy. The only thing that disappointed me is that you can't race other cars on it, only the two that came with the track. My son loved it right out of the box though (no assembly is required) and he continues to enjoy it a few weeks later.
The sound effects can be a little annoying. They're meant to start every time the child begins a race, but seem to occur every time I touch the track.』 『Lightning McQueen and the King are back racing again! This time you get to be the one at the starting gate. Flip it up or down to hear cool racing sounds and phrases from the cars before they hug those curves on their way to the finish, in side-by-side racing action. Lightning and King store in the base. Other die-cast cars, sold separately, also fit on the Spiral Speedway. Features an easy-carry handle. Requires two "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 8.5"L x 15"W x 15.5"H.』

(Polly Pockets Puppy Parade- w/ little case) 『My daughter loves Polly Pockets, and she wanted 'all the sets' for Christmas. Knowing I couldn't buy all the sets, since she loves animals, I decided to buy a lot of the animal sets...thus this one, The Puppy Parade, was so appropriate! My daughter who is 8 loves it! It came with little dog leashes and dog bowls and everything....she loves it, even her 3 year old brother plays with them! The whole process of buying, shipping, and the product was great!

IPhone 3G used's review (It works and it's fun) 『This playpen effectively housed our daughter safely in our living room for a couple of weeks. It is light and easy to carry, but a bit large to tote around.
As soon as our daughter really learned how to crawl, she stopped accepting the confining space. We tried to make it seem like a fun place and we went inside with her, but to little avail.
The solution I came up with was to wall off the unsafe A/V area of the living room using this set and 1 extra wall. This has proven immensely useful, though it wasn't the intention of the product.
Our daughter still loves playing with the fun section of wall - the songs activated by the colored buttons are all clever 2-voice arrangements of classic children songs, and the other activities are amusing enough.
So a great purchase, but we don't use it as it is advertised.』
(Little Playzone) 『This was a great buy! My son loves it in there. We bought two because one was not big enough. Now he has plenty of room to crawl around. Also, it's light and fairly portable. We brought one of them on vacation with us. I highly recommend it if you're looking for an in-home playyard. Only downfall is the volume is not adjustable on the toy panel.』
(Not sturdy) 『I fell in love with this play yard, because it's just so much prettier than most others.
In retrospect though, I wish I had saved my money. It looks great, but it's not sturdy at all. The gates don't stay locked in place so it moves all over. We have hardwood floors and we bought some foam mats to put under, and it just slides all the time. Plus the gate is a pain to open and honestly it's just too small for a baby unless you get an extension.
Plus it's hard to store. I'd get the superyard XT instead. Not pretty, but bigger and much sturdier.』
(Excellent Product!!!) 『I have a very curious eight month old who was trying to get into everything... crawling all over the place! We had the ABC Foam mats for her already which she never seemed to stay on, which made me nervous she was going to crawl off and hit her head on the wood floors! This product was so easy to put together, and makes a great play area for her! It's sturdy enough for her to stand and hold onto as well! It makes for less worry, and easier to get simple chores done why she sits and plays!』
(Dangerous product!!!) 『My 8-month-old baby's foot got caught in the bars and I needed to call 911. It's a poorly designed product that can be hazardous! I can't believe people only posted good review about it. I highly discourage everybody from buying it!』 『Great indoor and outdoor play yard!

(Great Fun for My Budding Chef) 『My daughter loves this set! She likes to copy Mom, Dad and Grandma in the kitchen. Now she gets her own set of pots, pans, utensils and plates. The set is made out of hard plastic so it will stand to the wear and tear of a toddler.
It's not as realistic as some of the other pots and pan sets out there. But since our daughter is still very young, plastic seems to be a better option than the metal sets out there. Safer for her and for our furniture.』
(Excellent Pots&Pans Set - Best one out there) 『This pots&pans set came with my daughter's LifeStyle Deluxe Kitchen, and she absolutely loves them. Another review had claimed the plastic was as durable and the edges were rough.. but not mine. They were all smooth and very durable. There were absolutely no flaws with the ones that we received.
My daughter loves playing with them. They are very durable, and will not break, fade, chip or anything - they are not cheaply made like other pots / pans sets on the market. I highly recommend this set for any toddler to play with - it is a very good product and very realistic too (unlike other sets available).』
(Dish it up!) 『We bought this as a Christmas present for our now 23 month old to go along with her LifeStyle kitchen (which was also a Christmas present this past Christmas) We didn't know that the kitchen came with all of these items, but that's okay, now she can 'entertain company' since she has more plate, cups, etc! They are very durable and she really enjoys bringing plates of food over to us and giving us 'supper'. A nice addition to any childs kitchen!』
(For toddlers, not so much for preschoolers) 『I purchased this set for a group of young toddlers (one-year olds). Very durable and would be difficult for a child to injur him/herself.

I would prefer a more 'real' set with aluminum cookware, metal silverware, and glass plates for an older child, such as the child pictured with the description.』 『This Little Helper's Dining Room Pots and Pans 22-piece Set features everything your little homemaker needs to cook up a great pretend dinner and a ton of fun.
