We love this product. After 5 1/2 weeks in the NICU with our baby (born at 31 weeks) we were very accustomed our baby being monitored. We bought this product and have been using it for a week now and it works great. We know it probably isn't foolproof, but it is a tool to help us keep the baby safe. For those who complained of false alarms (of which I read many reviews), I would argue that perhaps they weren't false. After our hospital experience, we now know babies do stop breathing. Apnea/Bradychardias are the main reason preemies don't get discharged. Every incident the baby has moves your discharge date back a week. And incidents happen often (mostly while eating, but also while sleeping). If your baby isn't hooked to a monitor, you'd often never realize it. So I believe that many of these "false alarms" people are complaining about are probably legitimate. I highly recommend this product-just keep in mind it is just a tool and diligence is still required in keeping your baby safe.

Very easy to put together. Very easy to pack up and take anywhere. Arrived superfast and price for this product was better than instores for same style and attachments. Quality is excellent.

This toy is very good for keeping my son occupied while I'm feeding him. Without something to do, he gets bored and it's very difficult to keep him in his highchair. However, if I had known that Melissa & Doug toys were made in China, I would have found a different toy instead. I can't imagine why a company would enlist China to make simple wooden toys when we have plenty of hard working people and plenty of lumber here. I won't be buying from China this holiday season, so I won't be buying any more Melissa & Doug.

My son got this violin a few months before he started actual violin lessons. It really set him back because he did not understand that you cannot briskly treat a real violin in the same method as a toy. I would not recommend this unless you have no intention of giving your kid music lessons.

plastic is cold in the winter and it still stank. if the baby spits up (or other bodily functions should leak) all the little creases become tiny rivers and it's a pain to get them cleaned out. her brother, one year older, got into it and caused it to spring a leak. don't even try to patch it.

I bought this for my grandson's 1st birthday on October 5,2008. The first two weeks he LOVED it! The busy little items on there had his attention and he even cried when we took him out! By the 3rd week, he started getting bored with it and realized that when he pushed it hard enough (and all around), it came apart and he could 'escape'. We then tried tying yarn at the ends to keep it together, but he quickly learned that he could get out by lifting it up and over his head! Now mind you, he's not in the yard long, perhaps only an hour a day (if that long)! So, if your child is laid-back and not as curious, this yard may do well for them and you. But, if you child is very curious and an explorer, it won't take them long to figure their way out. With all that said and done, I would still recommend it. I think it would probably work better for children under a year and/or before walking.

When my newborn outgrew a blanket swaddle, I turned to the Swaddle Me. It is the best! She sleeps longer and more soundly when swaddled in the Swaddle Me. It has saved my life! And my beauty sleep!

I love this brand and I love being kind to the environment. But I would say these wipes are a little thin. But they are the best brand if you want to go environmentally friendly.

I bought a Britax because of all the talk about how safe it is, and while that may be true, I'm not overly impressed. My main complaint is that the straps twist ALL THE TIME even with the big plastic things that are supposed to help that problem. My other complaint is that the cover is itchy and it irritates my daughter's skin - living in a warm climate, she's in shorts or a skirt 90% of the time, so her skin is in contact with it a lot. It doesn't sit very high, so she has a hard time seeing out the windows. We have a Graco rear/forward facing convertable seat for my son and we LOVE it... I wish I had done my homework before purchasing this Britax because Graco makes a comparable version for so much less.
