Usually ships in 5 to 7 days IPhone 3G used's review (Christmas shoppers beware) 『I ordered this item for my grandson for Christmas. I haven't opened it yet, but it appears to be of GREAT quality. My only concern is that if you too order it for Christmas, BEWARE. It didn't come with any wrapping, just clear packaging that shows what the product is and a shipping label. Luckily, Andrew lives 1200 miles away and the surprise was not be spoiled.』
(Better than I expected and a big hit with our 5 year old.) 『Our 5 year old just received this for his birthday and he wants nothing more than to play with it nonstop. He has used both his Pixar Cars diecast cars as well as his Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars on it. Although the Pixar character cars don't fit exactly within the lanes this doesn't bother him at all.
As picky parents, his dad and I thought the graphics could have been a bit better--there are a couple of places where one lane of the two land road narrows noticeably and it too narrow even for a Hot Wheel to not go over the center line. We also thought the actual road layout was a bit dodgey and could have been thought out better. Details like this don't detract from the play value, but they don't enhance the educational value.
On a positive note, I will say that this rug exceeded my expectations in two areas. First, the carpet is soft and supple. I was very pleased that it rolled out and stayed flat instead of suffering from carpet curl at the ends as I feared it would and like so many cheap and stiff runner carpets will. It is a runner size, long and narrow and our five year old can unroll it and lay it out by himself (a real plus!). Second, I expected that the carpet would smell, I have had unpleasant experiences in the past with chemical odors eminating from the backing material of carpets. There was none of that here. The carpet was absolutely benign in this regard straight out of the wrap. What a relief.
It is hard to say how durable the carpet will be, but it certainly seems sturdy. If we can keep the cat off of it and dirty shoes it should stay nice for a long time.
Overall, I am very happy with this carpet and with how much our son seems to be enjoying it.』
(Great Imagination Builder) 『I bought this for my 3 year old grandson who likes small cars. Before he only lined them up and pushed them on the floor. This "rug" now gives him a purpose and he really enjoys it: parking the cars, obeying traffic lights, stopping for pizza, visiting friend's house, etc. When he's finished playing after a while, his parents just roll it up and put it away. The colors seem bright and the product appears well made. The variety of places to go that are printed on the rug is very good for his age.』
(Road Rug) 『This play mat occupies my grandson for a long time, as he loves to drive his little cars and trains on it.』
(Lots of fun!) 『My 18-mth old loves to drive his cars on this rug and stop at all the houses and the train station, etc. Very tough material, but still soft enough to play on. Great product!』 『LLT 124 Giant Road Streets&roads for the most elementary drivers!

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Noah loves it) 『My Grandson Noah loves his "moozic". Its tuff and he loves to sing along!』
(Music Makin'!) 『I got this for my daughter for her 2nd birthday. She loves it. Within a couple of weeks she had figured out how to turn it on and start a c.d. She loves the 2 sing-a-long mics, and she likes how the stars on the side light up as she makes sounds in the mic.
The 2 things I don't like: 1, it is pretty heavy, and 2, I wish the c.d. player opened at the touch of a button, rather than having to manually open it. My daughter is so used to everything being electric on appliances, she doesn't know what to think to actually have to open the door to put the c.d. in her player. :)
Overall, it is very good quaility, and a c.d. hasn't skipped on us yet.』 『Be a rockstar with this portable cd player with microphones! The convenient handle enable little ones to take the show on the road while the lights flash along to the beat of the song. Includes volume controls, skip protection, and the headphone socket and DC 6V adaptable (plug not included). Requires 4 C batteries, not included. Ages 3+』
IPhone 3G used's review (Special Baby Gift) 『I bought one for my son (now 10) and then for my daughter (now 5) and they still like to look at the pictures in the album. This is a great album for a little one, as it allows the kids to put it in their mouth and neither the child or the album gets hurt! The album is good for using imagination and telling stories. If you have relatives who live far away, it can help the child get connected to the family member. My kids also liked having pictures of the house pets in the album. 』
(Great toy and photo album) 『My 8-month-old loves to carry this book around with her and chew on it. We go over the pictures of her grandparents and aunts and uncles on a daily basis. She really studies the faces and tries to turn the pages. This is a great way to get your baby familiar with family members and a very durable book. I highly recommend this.』
(Baby Loves It) 『My 7-month-old boy loves this book. I haven't even put any pictures in it (which I'm sure would make it even more exciting) despite its being around since he was born. Even without pictures, he loves to look at the shapes, patterns and colors, and chew on the squishy plastic pages. He loves to grab it down from the shelf by pulling on the handle. He's playing with it right now, and has been for about 15 minutes!』
(A MUST have for every baby.) 『Kids forget very easily what someone they may not see often looks like. By putting pictures in their own 'chewable' book, the faces of family and friends stay familiar.
This book becomes a cherished part of their childhood as they open the pages time and again to find the photos of 'who loves baby.'
This is compact and inexpensive so your child can have multiple booklets. Your child may develop into a photographer (no pun intended), scrapbooker, historian, geneologist, whatever -- but family and friends will remain important--in my opinion.
It made a great difference to each of the little children in my extended family.』
(Getting to know us) 『I bought this for a new granddaughter. I will not get to see her often as she lives in another state. This book is great for out pictures and she can carry it around and look at the pictures as she would a book. This way she can recognize us when we show up. It is easy to carry and cleaning it is simple. It is a great little photo book.』 『Babies love faces and this sturdy photo album can hold 6 photos of the smiles baby loves best. Handle makes toting the book fun for little ones. Recommended for ages 6+ Months. Approximate size: 8 x 4.75 x 1.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Great toy for any age!) 『This is a great toy, not only for a toddler but for a little older boys too. My son used to have one of these when he was 3 and got bored after a while, today he is 9 and asked for this set again. He has it for about a month now and has been shaving everyday. You'd think he's a little bit too old for this kind of toy, but apparently it has something to do with James Bond and he wasn't even embarrassed to brag about the toy to his friends. I would definately recommend this toy.』
(very fun bathtub toy for kids!) 『This is a great product for young kids who love to pretend. Shaving like mom or dad is facinating for them and makes bathtime a favorite time for play. As a bonus the "shaving cream" can be used as a body soap or shampoo so playtime is cleantime as well. Moms and dads love that!』
(stubble) 『Got this for my grandson. Now he can pretend to shave without going for the real razors.』
(My son loved it!) 『After months of using Dad's shaving cream and a toothbrush as a razor, I broke down and bought this for my 4 year old son. For a week straight at least twice a day, he was in the bathroom practicing the ritual. For the price, its a good little novelty for your budding lil man.』
(Too cute!) 『My 4 year old son opened this today for Christmas. As soon as all his presents were opened, I found him IN THE TUB with this toy, lathering up and shaving! It was adorable. Very cute gift if your little boy wants to shave just like daddy.』 『This childhood favorite is a memory in the making! Whether with Dad or in the bathtub, every child should have memories of pretend shaving. What could be better than having their very own shaving kit to play with? The play razor, foaming body soap, comb, shaving brush, and unbreakable mirror are all the right elements for grooming like a grown up, with a perfect kid-safe twist!』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Fun First Game for 3 Year Olds) 『We got Whac-A-Mole as one of my 3 year old daughter's first games. It is really easy for her to understand what she is supposed to do and she has a blast playing with it. It teaches hand eye coordination as well as listening skills...I had no idea games like this had educational value, so I was impressed. I was looking for a toy my daughter could understand and play on her own at times, so I am pleased that she can get alot more out of this game than I bargained for. I would highly recommend this game.』
(No problems screwdriver and soldering iron won't fix...) 『Our son received this as a Christmas gift and loved playing with it. Like other reviewers here it wasn't long before the sound went out... which makes the toy pretty well worthless. I little investigation showed that the welds on the speaker are weak and broke. A few minutes with a wire trimmer and a soldering iron and the toy has worked good as new since.
Our 3y/o could care less about the game play, and is quite satisfied to randomly pound the moles with the mallet. Single player mode is pretty tough and I doubt many kids can beat it. Lots of fun to be had for 2 to 4 kids in the multi player modes. It is a shame they didn't use a little more care in assembling it.』
(we all love this game) 『I bought this game because i have a 2 year old. 3 year old and 6 year old and i wanted a game we could all play. We turned off the tv and we played this game for an hour. everyone can play this and it was soo much fun. It comes a part alot but is eaasy to put back together. Make sure you have batteries cause your kids will want to play with it right away.』
(Broke in first 15 minutes of normal play! Educational Value high!) 『My 4 year old really has wanted this game, and this age group is the perfect target audience. However, we played easy, hard, and solo modes one time exactly. Then, the "orange" mole stopped working. "Game over", and one very unhappy little girl. They store where I purchased it will replace the game and I hope we have better luck next time, as this game seems to have sporadic problems with the electronics. With regard to educaitonal value, the HARD mode is entirely about listening attentively. Lights don't blink, just make a sound triggering a player to whack. This is an important skill to teach children, and there are few games where this kind of training is well camaflouged as fun.』
(Great game!) 『My family loves it - everyone from my nearly 60-year-old mother to my 3 year old nephew. Playing it on the "hard" level can actually be quite challenging and get very competitive. It's good for the kids to learn colors, sounds, and cause-effect.』 『Get crackin' on this electronic, talking pop-the-mole-back-into-his-hole game. This wacky game includes four moles with attitude that light up or give sound cues. Whack your mole to earn 100 points to win. The mole leads the action and keeps score in three different games. No reading required to play. One to four players. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (not included).』 『The classic carnival game of Whac-a-mole comes right into your house in this energetic and highly silly home version. The inherent cruelty of this game is tempered considerably by how much fun the moles appear to be having while receiving repeated blows to the head with big plastic mallets. It must help that each mole gets to wear a helmet, each a different color. One to four players can join in by whacking the critter in front of them during the "sign in" period at the beginning of the game. The object of the game, naturally, is to whack the moles as they pop up and players can choose to have them light up or not. Parents should be aware of course that they are giving big plastic mallets to very young children and the result will almost certainly be that one kid whacks another before too long. It's just bound to happen. But if those energies can be re-directed toward the moles, this is a fun and silly way to play inside.--Charlie Williams』

(great toy) 『I bought this for my son despite bad reviews. He loves it!! He plays with it everyday and it still works great. The truck is big and he can crane lift toy airplanes into the back bed. The truck bed also has dump truck action. My son is 3 1/2 years old and likes constuction toys and this was a great purchase for him.』
(Tonka Toughest Mighty Crane) 『A Great Addition to the Mighty Dump Truck and the Mighty Loader. Indoor/outdoor, camping, whatever. If your child is into trucks ...they hold up.』
(Loved IT!!) 『My 18 month child absolutely loves it. He can even sit on the back and propel himself forward. It's very strong and sturdy, he weighs about 25 pounds. This is a must buy, we recommend it.』
(My 3 year old loves it! Also is a flatbed dump!) 『I almost think we got a different product than the other reviews. My son loves this crane, hooks stuff up, fills it up,&hauls his loads around to his various "job sites" to dump. Also makes a fun addition to the loader and dump truck (also from the Tonka Toughest line). We have Tonkas of every shape and size and we have not been disappointed at all. Highly recommend.』 『The boom rotates a full 360 degrees. Use the crane to hook, lift and dump objects and debris onto the dump bed. Its oversized wheels make even the most rugged sites accessible.

IPhone 3G used's review (great educational toy) 『i lovve leap frog products this is the second one im purchasing the first was for my own children three years ago and this one is for a friends daughters first birthday.we have gradually graduated ourself up thrue these products up to the computer now and we will keep buying as our children get older absolutly recommendet!』
(Don't Buy It!!!) 『This machine has wasted around three hours of my life. It wouldn't work with our Panasonic DVD player, our XBOX 360 or even a brand new RCA DVD player we just bought from Target. It sounds like fun, but after 3 times it not working with our DVD players...my 2 year old heart is broken, don't tell your toddler that they are going to have so much fun with this, only to find out it doesn't work with most DVD players. A horrible gift for her 2nd Birthday!』
(Doesn't work with my dvd) 『I was excited to find this product on sale because I love Leap Frog products and so does my 9 mo. old. However, I tried for hours to set this up with my DVD player. I followed all the instructions exactly and I even called customer service and they gave me other set up codes to try. I still cannot get this product to work. I'm very disappointed because we can watch the video but cannot interact with it, which is the whole point.』
(Not very happy with LeapFrog...) 『I got this for my 1 yr old last christmas, it did take me forever to set it up we have a TV/DVD player and I had to use the extra codes to get it to work... My son didnt seem to grasp which button to push on the controller, we have EVERY DISC, I would point to it and then he would push it... I guess maybe thats what you should do... now he is 20 months and has no intrest in it at all... the controller is very durrible as my son has tossed it around his room... I wish they had Elmo in their disc's though... I should have gotten the v-smile for baby.. It is just frustrating when you spend the time and money and it doesnt seem to get you any where but a head ache... for parents, when your child does not push the right button or push it at all the voice will keep saying "push a button" again and again... quite annoying!!』
(Dissapointing) 『I find this thing more annoying than educational. First, it wouldn't set up easily with the Magnavox DVD player we have. I had to look up alternate codes online (that people just happened to find). Then, for some reason (even though we did the initial set-up correctly) every time we start it up, it plays in Spanish and we have to go through the menus to select English. Lastly, most frustrating, is how slow it is. My 20month old gets excited to see his game put on... and is then bored 3-4 minutes into the game (and he can pay good attention to other videos or games). There is just too long a delay between "push a button" and the DVD then churning to the result. Overall, the games aren't impressive and don't provide anymore learning than we give him when reading him his books. Maybe if we had gotten it when he was 9 months it would have been more appropriate. But at this age -- even with different purchased discs -- he is just bored.』 『The Little Leaps Grow-with-Me Learning System transforms as your child learns and growsinspiring learning in children 9 through 36 months!
