Promising review: "My sister bought this for my son before he was born, and at around three months when he was big enough for it, he loved it. He is four months now and has figured out the seat turns, and he just jumps like crazy. It gives me time to do other things around the house and it tires him out. I absolutely love it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!" —ColtonsMommy

Promising review: "This is our son's favorite toy. The colors are wonderful and bright, and the different textures and materials are amazing. This toy holds his attention for what seems like hours, and then we realize he has fallen asleep hugging Freddie. Our baby is four months and chews on everything this toy has to offer: the wings, Freddie's face, and both plastic rings. I bought this toy for a friend who is expecting, and who is an early learning teacher, and she loves it." —Kathryn

Promising review: "We received this as a Christmas present last year from a family member when my daughter was one-and-a-half and we are still enjoying it to this day! My infant son is now able to enjoy it as well, and it helped him learn to sit! It keeps both kids entertained. He bounces and giggles to it and she dances and copies what it says. It has been very durable for the last year and well worth the money!" —MegB123

Promising review: "My little nephew just turned one and this truck is his favorite toy! He opened several gifts on his birthday and proceeded to play with this dump truck toy for an hour. He usually never plays with any toy for more than ten minutes. He loves his new truck." —carla jung

Promising review: "I have a 6-month-old son and I got this for him for Christmas. I was a little worried because I thought it would be for older babies, but he is in love with it! It's the only toy he wants to play with. His favorite thing is the little door on it that opens and says "Peekaboo!" He opens and shuts that thing all day! The price was fabulous for such a awesome toy and when he starts to walk he'll be able to continue playing on it!" —Alyssa1862

Promising review: "My one-year-old baby girl LOVES these blocks! She was mesmerized by them for hours when they first arrived. She likes to try to stack them, shake them, squeeze them, throw them, and of course mouth them! She also loves the squeaky noise they make. I was really surprised at the good quality of these blocks. The colors, texture, and designs are great and the carrying case that they come in is adorable. Classy and classic! Highly recommend these blocks!" —Jennifer Kolesar
