Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Aquarium Cars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These trains came securely package from Amazon, and my 5 year old son loves them!
He's had them for 4 months, and no sign of leakage. (And believe me, he's rough on them! He stores his trains in a Thomas backpack, so they are jostled around with wooden and die-cast trains.)
The pale blue liquid is clear enough to see the pink octopus and gray shark, and the plastic encasement is very thick.
What a fun addition to the Thomas line, especially if your child has the "Down At The Docks" picture book that these trains are based upon.

Baby Einstein Baby Neptune Soothing Seascapes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having had 5 children, we have been through many, (at least 5,) musical crib toys. This is by far my favorite. I bought it because I wanted something both soothing and interesting for my youngest child to look at as he drifted off to sleep. It fit the bill with the soft colors of the lights and the music it plays. I liked that it had a long play option (12 minutes). My son has loved it from the first day I put into his crib, (6 mos). He is now almost 2.5 and can put it on himself, and does for both nap and bedtime! I do wish I could have given it a 4.5, though. We are on our 3rd one in 22 mos. I have bought the "new version" of it (looks like an aquarium) and already am looking to buy the original again. The new one is too complex for our needs. My son, who wants it to play, is having to learn 6 functions the other didn't offer. It comes down to this...we like it so much I am looking to get our fourth before #3 dies. He loves and uses it so much I am willing to get yet another one! :-)

Star Wars Science - Naboo Sea Creatures Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this for myself because, well I'm a Star Wars kid from the 70's. I'm pretty sure I had all the action figures and the DeathStar for them to play in. So I thought it would be nostalgic. Overall the product is great, and fairly simple to set up. Plus my employer doesn't have a policy barring this from being proudly displayed in my cubicle. The disappointing part... only 2 "Sea Creatures" hatched and I think the bigger one ate the smaller one.

Uncle Milton Uncle Milton Planet Frog Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My [kid] is beside himself with joy. After six very, very long months, one of our two tadpoles has finally become a froglet. The planet frog habitat itself is a good educational gift, but the instructions that accompany it are poor most of the time and incorrect on several key points. The company that provides that tadpoles leaves a lot to be desired. We ordered the tadpoles in July and received them in mid-October (the order form stated approximately 2 weeks for delivery). The instructions indicated the metamorphasis should start 3-4 weeks after arrival. November, December and January passed before I realized that something was wrong. The tadpoles were healthy and had grown, but no limbs or frog features were happening. Desperation set in in February, when I was guilted into buying two newts to make up for the lackluster tadpoles. When I checked the other Amazon reviews, I saw with dread that 16 out of 17 people never got frogs. So we did some research on our own (the tadpole company' s website is useless). I guessed that some critical environmental trigger was missing to start the transformation to a froglet. So, we tried all of the following: adding a tiny bit of reptile vitamin powder once a week, allowing the water to get a little cloudy for 3-4 days before a water change, and adding frozen bloodworms once or twice a week. I don't know which actually helped, but it is now mid-May and we have the cutest little frog. The other tadpole has grown a lot and is showing signs of limbs. My two boys are tremendously excited about the change; they rush home to check the frogs' progress each day. This toy teaches about animals, the environment and care of living things. But most of all, it teaches patience. I don't recommend this to anyone with an actual life that can't be modified to revolve around the needs of small pond creatures. but for those of us who only dream of freedom, it's worth the wait.

Ocean Wonders Musical Aquarium Crib Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought the previous version of the Ocean Wonders aquarium in 2002 for our first child. It served a lot of functions: soothing white noise to fall asleep by, a day-or-night toy by the crib. Our firstborn loved it. Nicest of all, it made the transition to his toddler bed much easier. We wanted our second son (born last september) to have his own, and we were glad to see that a new version was coming out because we assumed the new model would be an improvement. This is not the case.
For starters, the new version is a MAJOR hassle to put together. The old model was one unit with a panel in the back for putting in batteries. Its one thing for battery replacement to require a screwdriver, but this contraption has a seperate battery case that attaches to the rest of it by an OUT OF SIGHT screw that you have to line up PERFECTLY to get the device to work. It took me two hours to find this screw. If that wasn't enough, you have to do this while the batteries are out and while the thing is attached to the crib or you won't be able to get it to stay in place! It is as if the designers were trying to find the clunkiest way possible to set this up.
Secondly, the new model is much bigger and much brighter than the old one. While this makes it more of something to play with, it also makes it useless for soothing nighttime use. The size makes it more than a little intimidating for a newborn, but the brightness makes it useless for nighttime.
To be fair, there have been some improvements over the older model. The sound quality of the songs is much better both in fidelity and tambre (it doesn't sound like a cheezy synthisizer). The ocean sounds (which are the best sounds) are still there and sound good.
Overall, I would not recommend this product. See if you can find one of the earlier model floating around.

The baby will enjoy the classical-style music; soothing lights and water bubble show with this crib-attaching Ocean Wonders Aquarium. Five ocean friends swim peacefully across the aquarium screen while lights fade on and off in a tranquil pattern. Sweet songs or sound effects play, and bubbles rise to the surface. After ten minutes of play, both baby and you will feel councey and relaxed. There are three modes of operation so that as baby grows, the aquarium will continue to be entertaining. Busy activities help baby transition to quiet time. It requires 3 D batteries, which are not included. It Measures 13.38" x 4.5" x 11" and fits most standard cribs.
