Saber Tooth Tiger P-65 Heavy Metal Miniature Figures

This was a decent figure.Perhaps not exactly sized to the usual D&D/Pathfinder 1" grid but should work out fine.I plan to set it on some properly sized disc's.Nice detail and no parts that are threating to fall off with use.Image was accurate and delivery prompt.

221 B Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes, The Time Machine

You can read my review for the other 221B Baker Street game. My family loves the play. We haven't played this one as much. The play is the same as the other game but with a different board layout. One of the mysteries so far was a bit too gruesome for me to want to play with my young teens, but otherwise we love this game too. Have fun!

Accoutrements Inflatable Turkey

The Inflatable Turkey and Inflatable Toast should make for an impressive meal when I invite my inflatable girlfriend over for dinner this weekend.It's good to see that foodstuffs designed for Plasto-Americans are finally becoming more widely available.

Great looking inflatable turkey, comes in a very cool can.

The only challenge was getting the stuffing in through the very small hole, it took quite a while but once done was well worth the effort.

I bought this for Christmas... I didn't even have to preheat the oven and my table looked magnificent with the golden-brown bird as its centerpiece.

I've tried every inflatable turkey offered by Amazon. This is the best one. It works much better when filled with helium. It also doubles as a pillow, but I have had some trouble with TSA when taking it through security to use on the airplane. However, I find that if I wrap it in a receiving blanket and put an infant cap on it, I can usually get through more quickly.

Delicious with inflatable ham.

What a great product! I needed a fake turkey for a photoshoot and found this on amazon. I ended up paying more as I needed it shipped fast but it was well worth the money. It is well made and so realistic that I'm sure I will be using it again and again.

Kidkraft Star Table and Chair Set

I ordered this set for my son's 4th birthday and he loves it. He eats, colors and plays at this table. The assembly was very easy. There was only one peice missing for the bins, but I called Kid Kraft and they sent me the missing peice without any problem.

This table is adorable.It has 4 storage bins included with it.It only took about 1/2 hour to put together.It is very sturdy as well.

I bought this last year for . I thought the bins would be helpful but they are not. What is means is that there is no room for legs so your child can only sit on the short ends of the table when what my daughter really wants to do is spread out her crayons etc on the long end. If she puts too much weight on the short end of the table, the only place where she can sit becasue the bins are in the way, the table will tip because the rectangle shape sets it off balance. Plus, you can't really fit as much as you might think in small bins angled in this way. In the end we scored a hand-me-down table from a friends which my 3 year-old uses for her art projects and she got a doll house for Xmas this year which now sits on top of this kidkraft table. Kind of a bummer to use atable as a doll house stand when you can pick up a table at Ikea for . This set is attractive but not very practical, especially for the price.

This was a great purchase for my daughters.I searched high and low for a table appropriate for eating snacks, crafts, puzzles, etc. and this is the one!The kids love it...the size is perfect, even for my 8 year old.We get lots of compliments on it from family and friends who are looking for a table/chairs set for their own children.Highly recommend!

This table was a christmas gift in 2010. Here we are almost a year later, and this table has held up fairly well. However, I'm currently in the market for a new one...

I'll start with the pros first.

Pros:

Durable. My son just turned 3 when we gave this to him and since then he has really put this table through its paces. Toys have been banged on it, crayons and pens have made their mark, and I can't tell you how many times the table and chairs have been dragged around the house by my budding little home redecorator. My husband and I have even sat in the chairs with him on occasion and were surprised at how well they held us up given our weight compared to his.

I loved the idea of the different colored bins underneath. Originally we were sent only red and blue bins...BORING!! When I read the description, it said this table came with one red, blue, yellow, and green bin so I was kinda disappointed. I called Kidkraft (a bit anal...I know) and asked how I could get a yellow and green bin sent to me. The extra bins were sent my way free of charge. With all the small toys he had laying around the house I thought this was a great way to get things organized.

Size/Design. This table is perfect for kids ages 2-5. The backs on the chairs are high enough to comfortably support small children and the overall design of this set is just cute.

The reason I am looking for new table and chair set at this point is this whole allan wrench assembly. This may be better explained through the cons...

Cons:

Assembly!! This table took forever to assemble. We ran into problems when we realized that not all the pre-cut holes were aligned correctly. A few were about 2-3 millimeters off which doesn't seem like much but it made trying to fit the darn screws through the holes a pain in the butt!! Be prepared to argue with your spouse (should he/she help) for no reason at all other than frustration...

Constantly having to re-tighten screws that have come loose with an allen wrench that nobody can find!!

There are 4 weird looking screws? that go underneath the table to help bolt it down to the legs. It doesn't matter how many times we tighten it...they are forever falling out. So much so that my husband had to put two L brackets underneath instead to keep the table from coming off the legs when leaning against one end of the table.

The bins that come with this table broke with a few months. While cheap, I was expecting them to hold up a bit longer then they did. My child is also rough with toys so it was probably his fault versus kidkraft's quality.

While this is a nice table to look at, I am just sick and tired of tightening screws. I shouldn't have to be concerned about my child's safety, however at this point I am. I have come in his room many times to find him playing with loose screws that came from his chair. I am surprised he hasn't collasped while sitting in one yet. I personally wouldn't recommend this table and am hoping my new search will result in a table that has done away with allen wrenches because I have yet to find a piece of furniture that has any longevity when allen wrench assembly is used.

Dollhouse Miniature Tabletop Turntable

I recently spent two months making a victorian dollhouse for my granddaughter.It was quite a project and something that my granddaughter can pass along to her daughters.It is heavy and quite large since it was made with wood and 850 shingles.In order for my granddaughter to actually play with the doll house, I needed something to turn it easily so that she could have access to both sides. The turntable works beautifully and turns easily. The dollhouse and turn table can be ordered on line at: . Amazon was my link to the dollhouse, dollhouse furniture and of course, the turntable.Thank you and I hope you get as much fun out of this type of project as I did.

We bought this for a dollhouse that my husband had made for our children many years ago.Now our grandchildren are using the dollhouse.It's a real space saver since you don't have to set the house far out into the room.

Exactly what I was looking for. My daughter likes to play with her dollhouse from both sides. This turntable made it possible for us to move the dollhouse out of the middle of the room. My daughter enjoys turning the house around when she needs get to the other side.

I should have read the instructions before I started playing the game I did not realize that once you start the game you must finish it! Also, upon rolling I found several wild animals roaming my small apartment. The lion simply did not fit and was not trained. Very dangerous do not buy!

This piece of crap toy didn't work. I never saw a single pack of mischievous monkeys; no crazy hunter; no angry rhinoceros. That said, however, a old 'n' hairy comedian emerged within the first 10 minutes of playing. He was cool, I guess, but he wouldn't stop playing with my electric toothbrush.

Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat

Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster - Brown/Tan

I have made some unbelievably moronic choices when it comes to baby gear.This was definately not one of them!

I had originally wanted to just go with an infant to toddler feeding station set up, but then I saw and purchased a Peg Pergeo Prima Pappa out of the PennySaver.Oooooh, Peg Perego...Had to have it...

I hated hated hated HATED that chair.It was huge.The tray was too high.It had a zillion and one little nooks and crannies to get food into.I ended up shoving it back and forth between the kitchen and the laundry room for months.Once my baby really got into eating solids (which he didn't do until 7 months) I fed him in his bouncy, on the floor.I just didn't want to deal with cleaning that high chair.Even once he got to be a better (neater) eater, the space issues drove me bananas.

I sold it at a loss and bought the Fisher Price booster seat instead.

I love love love LOVE this little chair.

First of all, it goes on our dining room chair so it takes up no additional space.My baby fits in it very comfortably it is just his size.I can put Cheerios on the tray for him and he can pick them up and eat them (although it does seem he drops and sits in them about half the time, too...)No nooks and crannies so clean up is easy.We can easily pack it up and take it to a resturaunt and he is so happy to sit in his little seat, smack the tray, play with his toys, eat his Cheerios we are able to eat out in public again.I never thought I would be a germophobic parent but I do appreciate being able to take our own seat along from a cleanliness aspect, too.This chair is inexpensive enough that if you are lazy, or just like to be prepared, you could even buy two and always keep one in the trunk of your car for going out.

I don't really see the point in having the tray insert the tray is so easy to wipe down but, who knows.Maybe it will come in handy some time.

I do have some concerns about this chair really suiting a child from infant to toddler.It does not recline, as some of the other boosters do.However, in my experience, my child really was not ready to eat until he was able to sit up right.I think that a lot of people force solids onto children too soon, partly in hopes of getting their kid to sleep through the night sooner, partly out of deference to grandparents.You can always feed your baby in his bouncy, if he needs a reclining feeding seat.

It does seem a little small to fit a toddler into, but once the tray is removed and it is used as just a booster seat, it will probably be fine.I really like that your child can get so close to the table using this little seat.

Thumbs up, way way up, for this little seat.I plan to buy two more as baby gifts for my brother and cousin who are expecting babies in October (not with each other).

--Update--

I had twins last year and we needed a second booster.I wanted to get the same one and we went to TRU to get one but they only had the yellow and orange one.I did notice it didn't have the extra tray, but I also noticed it cost less.Since the extra tray was kind of useless anyway, I didn't mind much.So we got the yellow and orange one and took it home and then I realized the height doesn't adjust like it does for the green and blue one.Arg, I thought.Then I thought, does it really matter??The yellow and orange one is at the same height as the blue and green one when it is in the 2nd/middle position.So I just put the blue/green one in the second position, set the chairs up next to each other, and let the girls eat.Works just fine.I was a little miffed at the cutting out of features but it's nice that the price is lower and really these features aren't needed.I'd assumed the blue/green one was d/c'ed when I only saw the yellow but I guess that's not the case.So blue and green, or yellow and orange they're both good.

I originally bought the "Swing Tray Portable Booster Seat" because it was cheaper and I thought that it would be just as good.Well, it fell apart. I got this one and have been very please.It's is like a travel version of the Healthy Care Highchair.

There is a removeable feeding tray that can be put in the dishwasher.It has a cup holder and snaps right on to the main (blue) tray.

There are three different height settings.This is great for traveling because different tables can be different heights.

The back of the car and the trays are removeable, turning the seat into a booster for older and/or larger children.

The seat is all one piece and there are no seams or crevices for food to get stuck in.It also makes the seat very easy to clean.

The seat has a three-point seatbelt that adjusts, so it can accomodate a growing baby and toddler.

The booster folds up and even has a shoulder strap to make it easier to travel with. There is a lid that snaps onto the feeding tray.It is also dishwasher safe. I like the cover you can put on the tray, just so you know it's not getting dirty.

There are straps on both sides and on the back of the seat.This makes it much easier to fit onto a variety of chairs.This is great especially when eating out.

We love this Booster Seat.It's reasonably priced and has every feature that parents in the real world demand.

The good:

1) It travels well, as it can be completely folded in and it's straps used to carry it over a shoulder like a pack.

2) It can be set at 3 different heights for different tables and for your growing toddler.

3) It straps on securely and most importantly QUICKLY!

4) All straps adjust, both to the chair and to your child.

5) It doesn't have any cloth or nasty nooks that are hard to clean...Just a quick wipedown is all that's usually necessary.

6) Has a detachable tray with a food tray that comes with a cover.So you can play with playdough for 5 minutes before dinner on the main tray, and then break out your covered dinner when you are ready!Very convenient and sturdy.

7) Solid construction.Our VERY strong 2 year old can't get out of it or break parts off.

8) The straps will come off (with a little work) so they can be tossed in a washer

9) The food tray is dishwasher safe

10) It will grow with you as a booster seat even if you don't use it as a stand alone "high" chair.

I can't think of anything bad about it and that's saying something in the parenting world.Buy it and never look back.In fact, we just put in an order for our second one so we can leave one in the car so we are never without.It's simply fantastic.Our little one has started requesting this seat instead of his (soon to be retired) high chair.He loves eating dinner at the same table with his Mom and Dad.

2013 UPDATE: I changed my 1 star review to 5 stars. Hopefully this will be more helpful to people. I'm not going to edit any of my original review below. It seems like they've sorted out the issue with the similar types of seats. The awesome, adjustable version is the Healthy Care DELUXE! We loved it. As I'm typing this, this review appears under the listing for the Deluxe, and all the versions shown in the pictured options are height adjustable and show the snap-in tray and tray cover. This wasn't the case previously, so just check the options before you buy!

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

Amazon should not be sharing the reviews for the old blue booster with the new yellow & orange one. The blue one gets 5 stars from me; it was perfect. We had to replace it so I bought the new yellow one.

The yellow one DOES NOT ADJUST up or down for height. My son's legs no longer fit under our table because we can't adjust it down far enough like we could with the blue one.

In addition, the yellow one comes with only the main one-piece white tray. The blue booster comes with a main blue tray, a white snap-in tray with a molded cup space, and a green tray cover. It's perfect for travel. The yellow and orange booster DOES NOT have these extra pieces.

I'm totally irritated that I was led to believe that this was the same booster, simply with a different color scheme.

2009 UPDATE: As of mid-2009, the names seem to be sorted out. The booster called "Fisher Price Healthy Care Booster Seat" (currently still in yellow), is a stripped down, non-adjustable model. It really has no advantages other than price, maybe (depends on the day!). It's not more portable even though it's smaller. The better seat, with adjustability, extra trays, etc. is now called the Fisher Price Healthy Care DELUXE Booster Seat, and appears to come in two colors at the moment. The Deluxe gets 5 stars!

I bought this because, after two children and two big highchairs, I realized that I rarely used the highchair anyway, so what was the point of having this huge thing taking up half the space in my kitchen? I almost bought the fisher price healthy care high chair, when I saw this at the store. I figured that if I didnt like it, I could always use it for trips to grandmas house. Well, I LOVE it!! It stays on our chair VERY securely, the dishwasher safe tray(s) are great, and I can fold down the seat so that you dont even see it under the table! I put both trays on the bottom rack of my dishwasher with no problems (our water doesnt get to a burning point like some though). It is soooo easy to wipe up after she eats. I also got one of those temperpedic pillow things and cut it down so that it fits on the seat and then made a cover for it out of PUL (water proof but soft). She didnt really seem uncomfortable but I like my babies comfy! I dont think I will even buy a new high chair when the next one comes! I would recommend this to anyone. Oh and my 4 year old DS fits in it perfectly too!
