Discounted Baby Products Review

Great car seat
Installation was much easier than I expected after reading previous reviews. High quality car seat, couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

Britax carseat is worth the money!!!
The Britax Frontier car seat is the second Britax that we have. The first one is the Britax Marathon. They both are very good and safe.My sons love it. Also, we bought the Britax Roundabout for my niece as a gift. My niece love it too. She cries when she sit in the carrier but stopping crying once she sit in this carseat. It is amazing. The Britax product is a little bit expensive but worth the money.

Not worth the money
We bought the Frontier for my minivan and a Graco for 0.00(very similar set up) for my husband's truck. My son is usually with me and only rides with Dad twice a week.
I was disappointed in the Frontier. The straps twist and the buckles get turned around. The neck protector pads are chintzy and do little to protect my son's neck from being chafed by the straps.
If I had to do it again, I would save my money and buy two of the Graco seats. The straps on the Graco don't twist, the neck protectors are better and it doesn't have that annoying HUGS system.

Great car seat, but doesn't fit in all cars.
I awaited the arrival of this car seat excitedly since we previously owned a Britax Roundabout and we were very happy with it. However, much to my dismay, this car seat didn't fit in my Honda Civic very well. I have an older Civic and wanted to place it in the middle as to be in the safest spot (don't have side airbags). However, we couldn't get it tight enough. It kept slipping within the seat belt area, even though it was tight as could be. We even tried having the car technician install it. I believe that the hump in the middle seat of the car had something to do with it. It's a great car seat and well-made which is typical for Britax. However, we ended up buying the Graco Nautilus and it fit quite well. As the car technician said, "The safest car seat is the one that fits your car the best."

Quality Item
It's a solid product. A little difficult to install, but is there an easy one out there?

Make sure the picture matches what you order
I ordered a dump truck for my nephew's 1st birthday how ever what was pictured was not what was sent to me. I was furious! The truck that was sent was somewhat like this one was but cheap and poorly made.

Great tots' truck
We bought this for our son's first birthday last month. He is sort of pushing it around, but whenever I bring it to the park, the 3's and 4's go crazy. It has been pushed across the park, filled up with sand, bark, pinecones, you name it. This is a tough truck and handles all of the "love" the little ones heap on it. I am looking forward to our little guy growing into it.

Grows with your child!
I'm all about toys that will last longer than a month. This tonka truck is a big hit with my son. We got it for him when he was 9 mo old and it was worth the money! At first he liked just standing and moving the objects like the key/blinker/horn for the noise. Now he loves practicing to walk with it. Eventually he will be able to ride on it too!
My only annoyance is that when the key is turned you have to wait awhile for the engine noise to stop. You can't just turn the key back to make it stop. It also seems a little loud and there's no volume control. I think it bothers me more than him.
Overall, he's having fun with this toy!

lots of fun at one
My baby loves this truck! He's still learning how to walk without support, and loves to both push this truck and ride on it. The steering wheel is great, and the shape sorter is fun, but put on a back burner with everything else goin on. We also got the crane that attaches to the back, and he plays with that just as much. Great tonka toy.

Could be improved
My 18 month old son does enjoy this toy but the design could use some improvement. The brown seat has to be completely removed and then inserted into the back in order to make this a walker. It's impossible for my son to change it himself. We just don't understand why they couldn't hinge the seat so he could convert it from walker to ride-on easily.

The scoop-up feature is cool - my 5 year old likes that part a lot.

Not That Great
My 12 month old is not interested in this toy. I think that this toy is cute and looks like lots of fun, but not for him. He will push the car around for a few minutes about once a week, but other than that the toy just sits in our living room. Sometimes I put my son on the truck and push him around the house, and he is entertained for a few minutes. Hopefully he will enjoy the truck when he is able to ride it on his own!

Hasbro Tonka Ride-on Truck
I bought this Tonka Ride-on for my 10 month old grandson for Christmas. He loves it. He is now 15 months old and enjoys riding it and dragging it around. I also bought the Tonka Tow attachment which turns this truck into a tow truck. The attachment slides into the back of the seat and is easy to put on and remove.

The Little Guy Loves It
My son (2 yrs, 10 mths) has had this truck for at least 1.5 years and he loves it. Big wheels make it easy to push anywhere. Everything imaginable has been loaded into it and it is sturdy enough to stand up to him sitting in it. A great product with a long life expectancy.

Pleased
My son loves this truck!
The shipment time was good and the quality was exactly what I was expecting.

Crazy good
My mom has never bought me a tonka truck. Ever. Until recently, and to be honest, it was been everything I've dreamed of after 15 years. Granted, I've outgrown the 'vehicool' as I like to call it, but everything else was top notch plastic. The truck is very strong, very mobile, and very durable. Maybe the truck was really good because I've been waiting for it for a LONG time. But I'm so glad she got it for me. OK. Jokes aside, Tonka Trucks are really really cool, this should be every kid's first pick.

Big boy truck- just right!
I love this truck, oh yeah, so does my 2 year old son and 4 year old daughter! We also have the loader. A perfect pair. These toys are truly tough and just the right size for the kids and for hauling and pushing things around. We all love them!

Tonya Trucks Just as good as they were when we were kids
This toy is rated for three yrs. and up, but we went ahead and purchased it for our "more of a toddler then a baby" 16month old son. He loves its. The larger size makes it easy for him to operate and he loves filling the bed with anything that he can get his hands on. This has held his attention better then any of the other toys that we have. It's entertaining for him, but also for us, as we love to watch him zoom around the house making engine noises with his mouth.

Contains BPA -- TOXIC Substance!!!
BPA, a synthetic sex hormone that mimics estrogen, is used to make hard polycarbonate plastic. Ninety-five percent of all baby bottles on the market are made with bisphenol A. The results of the U.S. study show that, when new bottles are heated, those manufactured by Avent, Evenflo, Dr. Brown's and Disney/First Years leached between 4.7 - 8.3 parts per billion of bisphenol A.

Do your research, moms! There are lots of bottles out there that don't contain BPA. Trusted brands like Green to grow, Born Free, Adiri, and Thinkbaby.

Leaky Bottles
I first used these bottles when my son was born two years ago. Like some of the other reviewers, I found that these bottles leaked. I had to tighten/untighten them all the time and although not all the seals leaked, many of them did. Now, with the BPA issue, I'm not using them at all with my new baby. I've purchased a different brand that doesn't leak, doesn't have BPA, and is also less expensive.

stay away
Stay as far away from Avent feeding bottles as you can. This product is total junk, the bottles leak all the time. We have tried many, different sizes, different nipples, purchased at different stores and different times. They are all the same, they leak from under the lid no matter how tight you screw it on. Complete garbage.

They leak
I got these bottles as a gift and since bottles are expensive, I used them. I had no problems in general, my baby used them fine from the time she was 5 weeks old. I'm just weaning her now at 13 mos. The major complaint I have about these is that they leak around the rim like crazy. Sometimes you have to unsrew it and put it back on two or three times before you can keep them from running all over. And, no, it's not just one. All of them did it.

not sure why anyone would buy these
Is there a rating below one star?

First of all, we bought these before we learned about BPA. Our pediatrician told us about the fact that BPA is a neurotoxin that stunts brain development, among other nasty side effects.

So first of all, they aren't safe. So why buy them?

But if you don't buy the BPA stuff, there are a ton of other reasons not to buy them. Number one, they are extremely expensive for what you get. You can get twice as many Evenflo glass bottles for the same price as this three pack. So they are unsafe AND twice as expensive.

Then just to add insult to injury, the nipple is designed very poorly and makes it incredibly difficult for an infant to latch on. They cannot create the vacuum they need to get the milk out. Once there is only about an ounce of milk left in the bottle, my son could suck for an hour and not get the last ounce out. It was very frustrating for him and for me. I got to the point where I would express that last ounce of milk out for him to get it, basically spraying it in his mouth, which he didn't really like either.

So in summary, this bottle could not be any worse. And sorry, but there are better, cheaper, and safer alternatives that work better. Yet these keep selling. Makes you wonder whether Avent employees have written up these positive reviews.

ok - nothing great
this has helped, but I am not thrilled. I cant wear it for too long - the pressure it puts hurts if I wear it for more than 30-40 minutes or so. I'd prefer something I can wear atleast for a few hours - maybe a whole day and give my sore nipples a break - but thats not possible with this one.

Awesome product!
These shells work really well in early breastfeeding to occasionally protect sore nipples. They also work for increasing milk supply throughout the day without added pumping. I use them to collect milk on the opposite side during my nightly feedings, and have stored up a lot of milk that way. The only reason they got 4 stars is because they are kind of hard and sometimes feel kind of obvious under certain clothing.

Helped me get started
These were a huge help getting started on my first baby. I bought them on a whim and boy was a glad. They help get my milk started because they apply a light pressure which also helps extent the nipple. They keep things (such as a bra) from rubbing against very very sore nipples. Another great feature is the air vents at the top of the cups. They are there to get air to nipple, (you don't want them getting dried out, that just makes the pain of feeding much worse). Determined breastfeeding mom's these are fantastic until your milk supply comes in at a steady pace.

They do not look flattering under a TIGHT fitting shirt (loose is always best anyways) but what does when you are breastfeeding for the first few months as things are adjusting. I felt that they looked better that two huge wet spots from leakage.

Saved from Stopping Nursing!
For my first breastfed baby these were my salvation. It helped relieve soreness while breast is in bra. It keeps the sore nipple suspended in midair and off of rubbing on your bra. It also helps the nipple stick out a little, which I found made attachment (of baby's mouth to nipple)easier as a first time breast-feeder. You do need to check the shield now and then to dump out any milk (or some may save it). The only way I see a product could improve in that area, would be to have a bottle size attachment to your boob and whom of us would really want to walk around with that?
There are holes in the top of the shield to allow air circulation. For me esp. at night I would put a nursing pad over the holes so that it would help soak up any leakage. But by FAR this product is worth it.
I'm due soon with baby #2 and am back to buy more. I gave mine to a mom friend who was ready to give up breastfeeding her very hungry son who ate all the time and her breasts were unbearably sore. She swears these shields are the reason she didn't have to give up and is extremely grateful.
Definitely worth the try!

An OK product
I bought the Avent Breastshells because of my sore nipples, and a way to collect leaking milk while I was not nursing, and relieve some engorment.

1. It is very messy when removing the colleting cap
2. My nipples are still sore
3. And the only way to relieve engorment pain is to nurse or to pump

If I would have known about these factors I would not have purchased this product!

Okay buy, but should have researched more
This pump is great, although they make it sound so much better! Everything worked correctly and efficiently but the Avent bottles that you have to use with it tend to leak (all of them, it's not just a fluke!). I bought the 4oz and 9oz bottles and milk storage bottles, the pump, etc and for the price of everything.. I really wish I would have spent the time to reseach other systems. It is definetly not worth the price you pay. And you CANNOT switch out with other bottles. When I started using the bottles when my baby was about 3-4 weeks old I found that he was swallowing a lot of air and the latch on was not so easy for him.. he had a very hard time switching from bottle to breast. I have since had much better luck with another brand of bottle.

Awesome product
I bought the Avent Isis iQ last month because I decided to start donating my breastmilk to babies in need. I had previously been using the Avent Isis manual, which I also liked but I wanted something a little more efficient. It's so nice to be able to do something other than just sit while pumping and no more hand cramps! It does take me longer to pump than with the manual, but I get a lot more using the iQ- my first time using it I got 2oz more than normal. Well worth the price.

Warning! Avent Bottles Are Made Using BPA Bisphenol-A
I liked Avent Bottles, my daughter Liked them too! Then I found out about Bisphenol -A being used to make the Bottles. After re-searching Bisphenol -A, I discovered that exposing my baby to harmful chemicals with the potential for long term affects later in life, was definitely not for me!! There are other options out there, all glass bottles are safe, as well as Born Free, Mam by Sassy, Green to Grow and Adrini. Do your own research. I'm really surprised the non Bisphenol -A Free bottles haven't been recalled yet! I'm sure it's just a matter of time, before enough people are educated.

Great Product for the Price
Just writing a quick review to let all interested know this is a great pump for the price! With my first son (about 7 yrs. ago) I bought the Avent manual pump, definately wouldnt recommend that. I needed a pump that worked but couldnt afford a really nice one and knew Medela had a good name. I couldnt afford the dual electric pump and ended up buying the swing pump. It worked but it took FOREVER and i could never get hardly anything, so i just pretty much gave up on pumping:( Now with my third son I decided to try pumping again and read all of the reviews for the Avent Isis iQ and eventually decided to give it a try and was very pleased. I get a fair amount more milk much quicker and you can customize the pumping cycle. You have a ton of control over how everything works and can customize it to the way your body works. It is still pumping and it still takes longer than i would like but i definitely feel that my time spent is worth it now rather than a waste. It is a very good product and i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a breat pump. Oh also, you have the option to use batteries or plug it in so that is really nice as well:):) Good luck!!!

electric breast pump
I love this product! Easy to assemble (though I do wish one day the manufacturers will lessen parts to the product) and easy to use! It is a must have for stay-at-home-moms or the career-oriented moms.

pretty good
well, i purchased this at a local store despite erroneous reviews found here. its a great device, at first it seemed wasteful since i could just microwave some water (3 minutes), then soak the bottle until it warmed up (3 more minutes) but now i can just pop in a bottle and the whole thing is done in under 3 minutes. if youve got an extra i recommend it.

DO NOT BUY THIS, BUY THE IQ VERSION
The device is pretty good however it is very hard to time the warming and very easy to overheat the bottles.

a few weeks after my son was born we went to my in-laws where we duplicated most of the necessities and I bought the IQ version of this warmer. It is so much better. Has so many setting! A few friends that copied our registry i had switch to the iq version. Spend the extra money!

Temperature control?
This thing certainly "warms up" but no reliable thermostat to ensure that the content of the bottle remains at a reasonable temperature. If not careful, the bottle will get get way too hot...

GREAT PRODUCT
I gave this to a friend as a gift and she loved it. This product is highly recommended......It really serves its purpose, and very very easy to use..

Does the job
This bottle warmer does the trick. After reading other reviews it does have an on and off switch, they just never looked for it. If your bottle is floating then it's obvious you have too much water in it. As for the timing of the warmer. You do have to guess on how long to leave it in. But after you do it for a while you can estimate how long it should take. I only overheated once or twice and for reasons. I think this bottle warmer is great. It warms the bottle evenly.
