How does this compare to the MagnaDoodle and the Fisher Price (full size)? We currently have a cheap dollar store doodler and look to upgrade.

This really doesn't compare.. it's way better! My daugther can actual draw "real pictures" on this thing that look like she used a marker\pen. We often take pictures of the images she makes because the Tomy Megasketcher workes so well. If your looking for something that produces realistic images and is fairly responsive, this is your ticket! Other sketchers look like 8-bit old computer images compared to this.

Any of the Fischer price doodlers have the cells which make drawings with jagged edges and not smooth. The tomy megasketcher is the only one I've seen which gives an absolutely smooth drawing, just as if you were drawing on paper, like some other reviewers have said. This toy is the most value for money out of all the toys I've bought for my child.

I think this mega sketchier is ok for now, grandson is 3 and loves to draw. I think we will be getting a better one for his birthday. I hope this answers your question.

I got this for my 4 year old for his birthday last year and he uses it all the time. His 2 year old sister packs it around like a purse and loves it to. The only problems I saw with it was the stamps don't stay in the holders. I think it is a great toy.

This one is like a real pen on a paper would write, it is black and white, but you can write words and draw anything. There is no lines or squares on the back, whole screen is the same with no kind of under surface as many similar screens have. I think it is the best of it's kind, the only thing if you are looking for colors it is not the product you need.

This is the best toy I've ever bought. The lines are very smooth and it doesn't have those cells that the other sketchers have. My son has used this daily since he was 3 (now 4.75).

Good review, even though 2 years ago. Still good info. I'm thinking for the pro the Little Giant might show better quality after much use, but for home owners the Gorilla might be fine. Just a guess based on unrelated experience.

This one would be perfect.I would think the 3 in 1 mini would be to small .My Grandson loves this more than any toy he owns.

We used this and the fisher price. The fisher price potty was uncomfortable for my child (18 months at the time) to sit on. The splash guard is wider, forcing her legs apart more than was comfy for her. My child likes leaning back on the babybjorn, which she could not do with the fisher price one. The babybjorn potty is very versatile, my baby used it from 6 months and still likes it at 5 years even though she has long been potty trained.

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.

From what I've read, the little one sounds exactly like mine, the one for $132. I would buy the cheaper one. I use it every day and love it!!

Much more intense than Crayola. These have survived months of use and torture from my toddler. They've been dropped and thrown tons of times and are still going. The crayola would break on 1st drop. I also suggest M&D; paper because it's so much nicer than others.

We have both, my daughter likes them both the same. This one seems easier to use.

If your kid is 3 or older I would get the bigger maxi it has a bigger board, but the lowest night is the same as the mini and it will last longer. I brought on of each for my 2 1/2 yr o,d and 4 1/2 yr old and if I had seen them in person firtpst I would have got two of the bigger Maxi ones.

From the reviews of the pony the children aren't that facinated with the video part of it. My son who received the zebra last year at 17 mths and is now 28 months LOVES it! He gets so wired up on that thing spinning around and around and up and down that I really don't think at this age he would have the capacity to actually pay attention to the video while he was playing on it. Personally I would purchase the zebra and take the extra $20 and go buy a couple of Leap Frog DVD's, they are great.

Local toys stores sell nothing like this little bugger. It's a simple little plastic boat but they got the details right. It's like a little ninja. It's just as good as the videos they show. Like others said, the battery is only for good about 10 min. (I bought a spare), I also wouldn't drive it too far away. Lets face it, if you drive out of the remote range you better be able to swim. I suppose one could say that of any remote boat through. Clearly this is the best small remote boat you can get for the $$. Very satisfied with ours and planning on shelling out $159 for it's big brother before our next camping trip.

I purchased the fisher price ixl and my 2 year 9 month old he loves it and was able to use it with a little bit of instruction from me and a few minutes later was able to use it on his own telling " Mommy, I'll do it myself". I was looking at systems on ebay and a lady had listed the explorer not beacuse it was bad system it just was a little over her son's head so they replaced it with the leaspter 2 system he was 3 years old.

I bought the Dream Kitchen for my Twin grand babies, boy and girl 15 months old. I did not see the Deluxe Model at that time. It is much larger and I would prefer a larger kitchen since two children play at the same time. But you do have to consider if you have enough room for a larger kitchen. The Dream Kitchen is big enough for two children. They love it! If you are okay with spending more money, I would go with the Deluxe Model, if not the Dream Model is just fine and my twins have so much fun. My 2 year old niece plays with it also, and she plays for hours cooking on it making meals for us. We are making great memories with this little kitchen. Love it!

I did not go with any waranty other then the manufacture. I purchased this for my Granson back in December, he is pretty hard on Toys! so far the Elmo is still working. I have seen him throw it several times and the Toy still works as if it did when first purchased.

everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed. I liked the modern over the traditional..pretty much the same thing except the traditional looked to be mostly pink in color and clawfoor tub, bicycle..different furniturefrom the modern. The modern had a computer, moped scooter, updated furniture etc. and more color variety..You definitely can't go wrong for the price of $30-35 dollars. I'm 5'6" and it is about waist high..and not $100.00...Hope this helps...I was very happy with this purchase for my 5yr old granddaughter. everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed.

a great play gym -- 4 month old has been using it at various levels for a month now (at this point, grabbing toys and rolling over). Soft and cute, attention keeping for baby. I bought this for my daughter as a gift (baby's mother). For Grandma's house I have the Fisher Price with lights and music (baby likes nature sounds). Both are great -- one "no-tech", the other mildly stimulating with sounds and soft lights. Really just depends on what you like... I thought the Skip Hop was little pricey, but baby does love it and it is well-made (toys on this are super-cute, and soft. Mostly hard plastic on the Fisher Price one).

I like the Baby Einstein because it offers more activities and colors. If IM not mistaken on the rainforest jumperoo showed a video and it showed the baby enjoying the jumper. I couldnt figure which one I wanted so I purchased both of them, I kept the Einstein at my house for my grandaughter and gave the Fisher Price one to my daughter for her house. The Einstein holds my grandaughters attention much longer than the one she has at her house. It also plays music and the seat turns.
