Airzone 38-Inch Mini Band Trampoline Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATE 9-09: My son is now 10 and I have a 5 yr-old daughter. This trampoline has lasted through tons of use. We continue to find fun things to do with it. We have used it on the end of a dock to jump into water. It has been part of 'obstacle' courses. It is great for exercise and balance. The only thing that has given a little is the blue outer ring. Not a big issue but with multiple children using it for over 6 years, there are some tears to the vinyl. Nothing a little duct tape won't fix! The trampoline base has no signs or wear or deterioration and the legs are solid and straight.
***************************
I bought this for my "just-turned" four-year-old son who, like most boys, loves to jump on the sofa, the bed and anything that looks a little bouncy.
It was easy to set up (it says you need three adults but my husband and I did it easily). It appears well crafted and durable -- time will tell.
The directions say that it is good for up to 200 lbs.
My 37 lb son had a lot of fun jumping right away, although he did not jump as high as one thinks of with a trampoline. But for a small, indoor trampoline, I don't think you want your children flying too high. I also think that as his weight and ability increase, he will get more bounce out of it.
My biggest reasons for buying it are the safety (no springs, padded edge) and the size. I can easily remove the feet and slip it under a bed.
On a really hot day, we can still burn off extra energy inside.
We put a chair at the edge (turned around) and he then had a handle to hold while jumping.
Safety is a big factor with any toy that increases the movement of your child so we went over all the safety rules before he took one step on. I think that any toy is as safe as its surroundings, supervision and appropriate use.
We also have the Jump-o-lene (an inflatable jumping toy). Although we enjoy that as well, it takes up a lot of room and requires a lot of push to gain any bounce. I am hoping this is the next step up in strengthening leg muscles and increasing one, and two footed coordination.

Hasbro Playskool Weebles Weebalot Castle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought my 18m daughter this for a Christmas present this year and she loves it. Out of all the toys she got this year, this one seems to be the one she enjoys the most. She loves to push the weebles down the slide and around all the different parts of the castle. The part she has the most fun with is the moat. There is a button on the bridge in the back of the castle that makes the moat spin.
I have 2 tiny issues with this toy (and why it only got a 4 instead of a 5).
The spinning of the moat makes my daughter want to put EVERYTHING on it to spin. Its perfectly safe and nothing spins off, but not all the items/furniture that came with the castle can FIT in the moat well and I keep having to pull the horse and table out so it doesn't jam the moat.
Second is that the furnature does not all fit on/in the castle. The table doesn't stay well and if you have the table in, the weeble bed can't really be in it. I would suppose that you could play with the furniture outside the castle (and maybe my daughter will when she's a bit older) but it makes keeping the items together a little harder. I fully expect one or several of the furniture pieces to end up buried somewhere else in the house. The toy is adorable and fun but I would prefer the furniture fit and maybe snap into the castle.

Inspire your child's imagination with this engaging castle-themed playset that's full of electronic features and comes with a whole new cast of wobbly Weebles characters. The fun begins when the drawbridge "magically" lowers. Take characters for a boat ride in the revolving moat, then "climb" to the highest point and keep lookout in the revolving turret. From there, your child will have fun helping characters explore all the nooks and crannies: take a ride down the slide, or a "dance"on the musical spinning dance floor as Weebles figures whirl around and around. There are even a few surprises like a secret passageway and castle caves.
Playset comes with a unique board book that's full of great ideas for fun, interactive castle play. Act out the story using the Weebles figures and accessories, or try making up fairytales of your own. Includes 5-piece castle, 4 Weebles figures, boat, bed, chair, round table, throne, staircase, drawbridge ramp, lookout turret, storyboard book and instructions. Requires 3 "C" batteries (not included). Adult assembly required. Measures 19.5" x 18" x 18".

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 2 of these for my 3 and 5 year olds after reading these reviews. But I couldn't find a review that stated the titles of the responsibilities for those of you wanting to know if it will work for you; which for most it should cuz it covers most. Here they are: get ready for bed, get dressed, take bath, cear table, put toys away, keep hands to self, share, brush teeth,stop whining, apologize, say please, thank you, help with indoor/outdor chores, no teasing, show respect, load/empty dishwasher, put clothes in wash, don't use bad language, set table, take care of pet, do homework, make bed, clean room, take out trash, keep hands to self, plus 2 blank to write your own.
My 5 year old took to it right away as we placed all her responsibilities on the board. She was soooo excited and said I'm going to do that more, etc. She even added some resp. she usually wouldn't do, cuz she wanted to get more magnets; so at the end of the week we count them, assign a monetary allowance for each magnet earned (maybe 5 cents), and she can get a little toy or treat at end of week. I figured with 7 days a week and 10 resp. she could earn around 3.50 week; that's big to her right now!!
