My four year old son was PUMPED when I surprised him with this Paw Patrol Police Rescue Set. He jumped up and down, and insisted on playing with it immediately. It was a little difficult to set up. It had pictures, more so than instructions, and it took me a little longer to set up than it should have. At first, my son struggled to get the police car to go around the track using the launcher. It would go halfway up the first turn and come back down. Now, the only way we can get it around that first curve is to really SLAM the launcher. However, when you finally hit it hard enough, it actually goes flying off the track! My son, husband and I all tried to find the best way to get it to go around the track without launching it into the air. None of us could get the police car to consistently and SAFELY go around the track. The police car itself is really cool and the circular track is fun for my son to drive the car around, but the launcher is a little too literal, and useless for actual use on the track. We've decided that he can only play with the launcher as long as it's not near a wall or anything breakable. This seems like a pretty dangerous toy. The beautiful and sturdy metal die-cast vehicle could easily damage a wall or harm another child if they were nearby. I received this set free as part of a promotion. #FamilyRatedClub -
Monster Jam Official Scoops Dirt Squad Scooper Monster Truck

My son loves this! As soon as he saw what it was he wanted to rip open the package. He loves that it's a monster truck AND a front loader. The possibilities are endless at playtime. It's a little larger than a typical vehicle you get at the store, which is great when you've got dirt to scoop. My son played with the truck and the packaging it came in (of course) for about 20 minutes before he asked to go outside with it, to play in the dirt. Whenever he plays in the dirt with it, he has us clean it off so it can come back inside. He sometimes snuggles with it. It's a fun toy to look at and my son truly enjoys the big tires with dirt/block/small plastic animal scooping capabilities. -

My son has been playing with this since we got it. He kept thanking me for getting it for him and asking if it really was for him, because he was so excited. He loves Paw Patrol and playing with vehicles, so this was a win-win. He loves the sounds, movement, and playing with the character. From my son's perspective, this is an amazing toy.
From my perspective as a parent, it's a nice toy that entertains my son for long periods of time. However, it's a bit pricey for what it is. We got Rubble with a wrecking ball. Rubble doesn't have movement, other than turning his head. The wrecking ball and boom are the only real movement. The wheels do move, though. It makes noise, loud noise. My son is entertained but it drives me crazy after a few minutes. I had to put tape over it to reduce the sound.
Overall, it's a fun toy for a 3 year old. I don't know if he would be as entertained for long periods of time if he were older. The price is a little high for the minimal interaction it offers, but it's not ridiculous. Yes, we've already acquired another pup and vehicle from the set, thanks to grandparents.
I received this item for free, for my fair and honest review.

I had a client introduce me to this and I have loved it ever since. I introduced my family and a few friends to it as well. It works well on bagels, bread, pancakes, etc. The flavor is sweet and has a thicker texture; you have to try it to understand. It is more expensive than comparable products, but I like to spoil myself with it on occasion. It does dry and start to get hard if you don't use it soon enough. -

I purchased this for my son for Christmas. He hasn't seen it yet but I was impressed as I pulled it out of the box. I purchased it online and only saw stock photos, so I didn't realize just how cool it was. It's larger than I was expecting, which will be perfect for my son. It's thick plastic and blocky, which is perfect for small toddler hands. It comes with two cars that can ride on the roof or be placed inside the truck. It also has moving parts. I am already excited to give this to my son on Christmas morning. It is so much more than I was expecting it to be. -

This item is terrible. I wanted to return it as soon as I purchased but figured I was overreacting. The material is cheap and SUPER thin. My son was able to chew through to the wood without any trouble. I don't mean slight scratches, I'm talking deep bite marks. When placed on the crib it hangs down about half of what the picture shows. This doesn't really effect much but it still annoys me. You tie the pieces on with a satiny thread, rather than a thick material that actually holds. The satin easily comes undone and my son was able to figure out how to undo them, once he accomplished some gross motor skills. As soon as my son was able to stand, he had destroyed the bed with the teething. I finally gave up and took the pieces off, since I got tired of retying the satiny threads and there was no longer a point in protecting the wood. -

I've been using this cream for a few weeks now and am pretty impressed. My son has sensitive skin so I have to keep an eye on any possible redness. I use this cream proactively at a hint of a red hiney, and he is always back to normal by the next diaper. I have not had a rash yet with this cream, so I don't know how it handles an actual rash. I'm guessing that my proactive measures mean there won't be an actual rash without something serious happening. So, I definitely recommend this and plan to purchase again. -

We started purchasing this jelly for our son because we wanted to introduce him to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, without the high fructose corn syrup. As delicious as that processed sugar is, my husband and I want to create healthier food habits. It is more expensive than the regular Welch's in the same size.
My son loves this jelly. We haven't given him any other jelly, so I can't compare it to others, but I can tell you he doesn't like most foods, at least not for days in a row. Sometimes he just licks the jelly off the bread, chews on the bread where the jelly was for a while, and hands me back what's left. Both my husband and I have randomly made a PB&J;for ourselves after licking our fingers after making one for our son. The jelly tastes fresh and is quite flavorful.

Pampers Baby-Dry Diapers
My son wore size 2 for a very long time. I think we only had one diaper blowout in 6+ months. They never rubbed him raw or irritated his sensitive skin. They are a good price.
