If you were only going to get one set - stackdoos or spinaroos - which one would you choose (for those who have both). I have a 14 month old. Thanks!

Stackadoos are more classic, open to child's imagination. The spinaroos are a bit limited in using pieces differently. I bought both, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with Stackadoos.

I really like the Spinaroos, my kids love them. I got them when my daughter was about 14 months and my son was 5. they still play with them all the time. Great car toy too, no small pieces.

I only have the spinaroos but my kids (2.5 and 5) love them! They stack and spin for lots of creativity!

It really depends on the child. My grandchildren had them at age 4, but really enjoy them now that they are 5, 7, 9. They each have their own set. Mine don't put things in their mouth (chew on them.) And they seemed to be coordinated enough to handle stacking things without getting frustrated if they collapse. Hope that answer helps!

I would have done two separate: reason being that once they are maybe 3 months old and stirring a bit, they kind of almost roll towards the middle/separator and also are more aware of the other one (not very much, but still). They also just outgrow this so fast. I would just have two mini cribs from the get-go, because that is what we ended up using for the next year. Good luck, have fun!

FP newborn Rock n play. I never owned mammaroo but I was given many types of portable and electric swings, different brand bouncers and bassinets /co sleepers and in the end, after 4 kids ranging from 11years -15 mos, this was by far my favorite piece of baby gear for the early months.

Leapster is great. My kids loved the educational games. It lasted a couple of years. While they still play it, they are now ready for the DS. I'd go with the Leapster, and maybe go with some used games. I wouldn't invest too much because around 6-7 they want the newer big-kid games.

This was the model my daughter asked us to buy for our 4yr. old and 6 yr. old grandsons. Personally, I think the larger wheels are safer when going over cracks and bumps. They don't come to an abrupt halt throwing the child off balance. My daughter is very careful about her research before telling me which toy to buy!

I highly recommend Lego Duple Creative Cars. I bought it as a birthday gift for my toddler when he turned 2 years old. It has been 6 months since I bought him Creative Cars and he STILL plays with it everyday! He uses his hands a lot because the pieces are designed so that the child clicks together and pulls apart pieces in order to make different cars. My toddler always has such a serious look on his face when he is creating the cars. I do see him using his hand muscles to create various styles of cars. So far it has been the best toy of his life :)

We have the r100. My sister has the rxt. Her baby was in it from 3 months and we didn't put ours in until 9 months. I think if you are using it for a smaller baby you'll want the extra padding. I've heard the wings at the top are not very useful and make it hard to fit rear facing. Heard this from other reviews when I was researching. My sister's kids aren't tall enough to reach them yet. I felt the extra approximately $80 wasn't worth it.

Buy a pack and play....they're much more sturdy. Perhaps up to one year or a littlt older is ok for thr Bjorn...it depends on the size of the child. Remember, this product is not worth what you're paying.

The Plus is beautiful & a life saver. We have both but prefer the Plus. Baby loves these!

I have twins and they are 9 months. We haven't used it in quite a while. I would say, get an exercise ball instead and save your money. I just don't think you will use it that long.

i bought this for my 2 year olds 2nd bday she was started to get into playing with this kind of stuff so i decided to try it out.... but i would recommend it more for a three year old. As long as you are willing to play with the playdoh and this set with the child it it perfect for any age 2 and over. i would recommend getting playdoh tho the dough that comes with this set is terrible :)

We have the standard hexbug nanos with a 2 & 5 yr old, and are planning to get these this year. Started ~18 months- they are a choking hazard so you have to watch your child, but they are so fun and great for them to learn hand/eye coordination (chasing/picking up the bugs)

Duplo seems to stay together better for me. My daughter (age 3) loves them as she can build with them! :)

I would say you could introduce the world of duplo to your child at about 12 months. It will take some time for the child to get the technique if sticking the pieces together and taking them out. Mines been playing with it since 12 or 14 mths i cant remember. shes now 21 mths and still playing with it everyday.

I would get the ErgoBaby360 because you're baby will like to look out to the world once it's older. I really love mine.

One of our kids turns 3 tomorrow, he likes legos more than duplos. As long as your kids are out of the "put every toy in my mouth" phase, you should be in the clear
