Fisher-Price Babies & Kids
portable and light weight- easy to use – Great quality, kid loves it. Easy to put together. Not crazy about HUGE branding all over the thing, but function over fashion. When they are really… Read more
little, they love to fall asleep in it with the gentle vibration and bounce - when they are a little older, they love the angle and sit and watch TV or read a book in it like a kid-recliner. Out of all the crap you get for babies that is useless, this has actually proven to be a worthwhile investment. We previously used a seat that had a lap strap only, but once he was more mobile he would almost tip himself over in it. We purchased the rocker because of the shoulder straps that would keep him from sitting all the way forward while resting his tummy after food or bottles. I love the fact that he can use it even as a toddler as a regular chair. The only problem we’ve had is that the way the seat reclines (kinda of more like a car seat shape) we have to help him hold his bottle up enough to get everything out of it once it gets low. good choice with good price
Wonderful Cot/ Playpen – Though this is a travel cot I used this as my baby's bed for the 12 months. I bought it before my baby was born, used the bassinet level for the… Read more
first 4 months then had to change to the bottom level as my baby is large in size. Not only is this travel cot beautiful but it is also practical. The width of this cot is slightly smaller than the standard portacot widths, but it is this tiny fraction that allowed me to move it around the house through doorways without collapsing it.
The mattress is thick and soft enough for my baby to sleep on it. I now use this as a playpen for my baby. Sturdy, beautiful, practical Expensive
Ok but only for small babies – This bouncer is nice to look at but not really suitable for babies larger than 7.5-8kg. It's much smaller than the less expensive bright starts… Read more
bouncers and less functional. Overall it has a small size than the bright starts, The cantilever angle is not as upright, at 7.5kg-8kg baby is in a reclined position (not helpful for burping or play), the activity toy bar almost hits baby in the face and is in my opinion semi-hazardous, toy bar is unable to be switched out with alternative toys and becomes boring to baby. I would instead suggest a cheaper brand with a standard metal bar toy bar. We bought our bright starts bouncer for $25 at Kmart.
Excellent – Love this product. My friend handed it down to me after her daughter used it and both our children have fallen soundly asleep listening and watching… Read more
the visions and bridie. I'd recomend this to any new parent you wants to create an atmosphere and relaxation for their child. This has beautiful music and pictures. My daughter loves it as did my friends daughter who had it before me. It is so relaxing and simple just right for babies, it entertains them to sleep. I also like the setting options. GREAT It was a bit hard to attach to the cot
Excellent – My son absolutely loves this swing it is great to take out to grandmas or friends places or even just to take it around the house or by the pool,… Read more
only trouble is it puts him to sleep :) Its fantastic to hang their favourite toys off or just for them to listen to the soothing music as it rocks itself and you can get some washing done. I was very lucky to have this given to me by a neighbour but they seem very reasonably priced and come on special at Kmart sometimes. Great little product Has a mirror or a panda for bub to look at, or you can hang toys off, its completely portable and battery operated and it even has music with volume setting Yes the batteries do wear out after around a month but anything battery operated that is used frequently will. Peace and quiet has no price!
Sanity saver! – As a newborn our DS would love to be held & rocked. There is only so long you can do this! This product allowed our little one to sleep peacefully… Read more
while being gently rocked. Great item to have! This product is stylish in design & I liked the fact that it wasn't your typical plastic design. Stylish in look, wooden not plastic. A bit bulky to try & store, not so easy to move, no where to hang toys once bub becomes more 'alert'
Excellent – My son loved this. He used to fall asleep in it within a short amount of time. Got constant use!! He was totally amazed with it, used to amuse him… Read more
for quite a while. I used to be able to get a few things done in between feeds etc. Pregnant with bubba2 so will be using again soon. Excellent product. Don't think you can purchase brand new now as it is about 2.5-3yrs old. Would definitely recommend. Colourful. Like the music it plays and the different settings it can be placed on. Huge Pro, the vibration part to it, gentle but soothing. Hard to get to the battery section to replace. Needs a screwdriver to take apart if you take it some where in the car (only seems to be a problem for sedans) 4wd's its ok.
Made settling our Newborn an Absolute Breeze! – We absolutely loved our Fisher Pice Big Hugs bouncer. As a parent with a toddler and fussy newborn that didn't like to be put down, the soothing… Read more
vibrations and gentle bouncing were just what was needed to lull into a relaxed state and sometimes even a deep sleep! Unisex, simple design. Wasn't too fussy or bright and no musical components so didn't overstimulate when we wanted calm! Easy to remove cover to wash all those newborn spills. Blanket kept bub cosy and hasness kept bub secure. Toy bar removeable for quiet times and soft teddies on it were removeable for when bub gets a little more adventurous with their mouth! Nice and deep seat helped keep our bub feeling safe and snug, Easy to put together (even by a heavily pregnant woman!!)
Best swing my baby loves – This is a great swing as you can set and not have to rock baby yourself. Cover comes off easily to clean. My baby often falls asleep in swing and is… Read more
very comfortable. Has it all- vibrating seat, music, swing and can be locked to stationary as well. I got her one at 3 months and still got another 2 months out of it I only wish I’d got it sooner. Recommend this product.
My saviour! If I could give it 10 stars I would! – I ordered my cruisin motion soother on the recommendation of a good friend. I had to order from the US so it was a bit pricier than I had allowed for… Read more
but I am so so glad I ordered it when I did-I'd pay the same 10 times over! It would be worth it! After 3 days and nights and going onto a fourth my baby girl cried and cried and cried - I had bundled her into the car to get her to sleep which always worked but not for long enough. The motion soother was delivered on the 4th day and she instantly settled to the soothing gentle car like motion and sounds. The seat also has melody and volume options and although it can only be operated by battery - it doesn't churn through batteries at all like I expected. The detachable arch was great to keep her occupied whether she was looking in the rear view mirror or batting at the dangling toys you can also peg other toys for baby to keep it interesting. The removable seat cover was yet another clever feature was perfect for little (or big) nappy leaks.. All in all I simply cannot say a negative word about this godsend of a product! It was effective over and over again!
Useful and a bit of a sanity-saver – I bought this after learning that these types of battery-operated rockers exist. We were going through the first few months at home with a newborn… Read more
and really this was a sanity-saver for both mum and bub. It's attractive and not too loud in this colour scheme. It has several functions, rocking, vibrating and music, which can be used with or without each other. It has 5 rocking speeds and I didn't notice much difference between them. I found even the lowest speed a little fast until baby got used to it. You can hand-rock until they get used to the battery-operated action and speed. My baby was literally a little frightened of it at first. Nonetheless I think overall these are a brilliant idea. Great idea in the first few months Outgrow it quite fast. Different size batteries in one side to the other.
Such a fun toy. Has kept the kids entertained since the day they got it – If your kids enjoys cars/racing toys but are too young to operate remote controlled ones, this is such a great toy. It's light-weight (so easy to… Read more
move from room to room), and SO simple to put together (all the pieces have corresponding numbers in case you get confused by the instructions). It has 4 "ways" for the cars to get down - 2 from the "racing starts", 1 "loop-de-loop", and one where you can lift up a little platform in the middle.
It comes with two of the Little People racers, but you don't have to spend money on any more if you don't want to. Most of the Hot Wheels cars (and most other similar-sized but different-branded ones), will go down all of the tracks too (with the exception of some long cars - they can't complete the loop-de-loop).
It has two hand levers so the kids can do it at the same time instead of fighting over who goes first, and the "ready-steady-go" (red-orange-green) lights function teaches them to wait and then move quickly when given the right signal. It also plays a few catchy tunes, as with all the Little People toys.
As a toy I'm sure it won't last forever but this is one of the few toys that the kids (2 & 3 yo) have played with continuously, making up different games around it even if they're not using it specifically for racing.
Fantastic play mat – I was looking for a large soft durable play mat as we have wooden floor boards. I considered buying a bubba mat but was put off by the price. I found… Read more

Best little potty around! – Was having absolutely no success with toilet training till we purchased this Potty. My son just loved it and of course wanted to use it straight… Read more
away. Well on our way to no nappies for 3 weeks now! Great investment and well worth the purchase. Had no issues with the sound on it.
Worth the price – Lovely bassinet it has all the features, vibration, lights, music, rocking and a toy mobile. I don't want to transition my bub into cot as love her… Read more
in the bassinet and being close to me.
I never used the vibration though as bub didn't like it .
It's nice all the features but they aren't really necessary as I never hardly use them !
I just like the design and feel of the fabric !! :) Colour and design Mattress, I replaced as bub didn't want to sleep in it so swapped mattress over with my other bassinet and she slept fine also the toy mobile sometimes gets in the way as always kept hitting bubs head every time I placed her in it
