Customer Reviews

it does not retail at $41 a can - even at its manufacturer5
This is a wonderful formula.
However, it is misleading to list this product at a higher price and appear as if Amazon carries it at a reduced price. It is priced at $29.99 at Whole Foods, same size. It is also available for online order at Earth's Best (the manufacturer) on their online store's website at $29.99.
The only place you are saving is to order more than one by monthly subscription through Amazon.

different formula3
They changed the formula last summer and kept the brand and package unchanged. I bought two cans from different places and noticed the ingredients list are different. I called their customer service and was told the formula has been changed. My baby loves the old formula which doesn't smell much different from breast milk. The new formula smells much stronger, and he doesn't like it. But I do know other babies who like the new formula. I guess you will have to let your baby to try it first to know whether he likes it or not.

Great Product, Great deal, but not in the summer4
This has been a great product for our daughter and we will continue to have her use it. Amazons price through subscribe in save is near impossible to beat. There are 2 problems. 1. We live in Tucson and the formula arrives very hot. The product explains that it should never be exposed to extreme temperatures. It gets so hot in the UPS truck that when you pop the lid it sprays out powder. That amount of heat is likely not good for some of the ingredients. 2. Amazons warehouse does a poor job packaging the cans. They put the cans to one edge of the box with bubble plastic on the other end. The cans get dented and Ive read where they have arrived opened. The product itself is fantastic.

Customer Reviews

Cute, and Works for us...4
I ordered this plate because my youngest son, at 21 months, loves to throw his food, plate, bowl, utensils, etc. He is a great eater, but as soon as he's done, things start flying. I took a chance ordering this plate online, but I'm definitely happy with it. It's quite a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but it's the perfect size for a toddler. I wish the mat had suction cups, but it's a firm plastic with non-skid silicone strips on the bottom. It doesn't move very easily, and because of the shape of the edges, my son can't easily get his fingers under it. He also loves that the fork and spoon fit onto the mat, and enjoys putting them on and off the posts, as well as putting his fingers through the holes in the utensils, rather than throwing them. And, when the plate in snapped into the mat, he can't remove it. So far, he has been able to push it away from him, with quite a bit of effort (as opposed to a normal plate), but hasn't tried to pick it up. I think the smiley face design is cute enough to leave on the table between meals, and my 3-year-old is already asking us to buy one for him (although I think he's a little old for it). Overall, I like it and would buy it again.

Handy and easy4
Before purchasing this, our one-year old son mashed and smashed his food all over the place. This has helped him learn to just put the food straight into his mouth. The non-skid rubber really helps and it is dishwasher safe, always a plus. I highly recommend this item.

Best available plate out on the market5
My 12 month daughter makes a mess out of meal time. We have always fed her off the table top but I wanted to start feeding her off of a plate. I purchased the Boon no slip plate but all she did was pick the plate off the table and hand it back to me. It is so light that it was relatively easy to pick it up. So the Skip Hop plate was my next attempt at feeding off of something other than a table.

I have found that nothing short of nailing it to a table will prevent any child from picking it up. With a good amount of effort, she was able to pick this base w/plate up, but it is bulkier and heavier than any plate out there. There are also tacky grips on the bottom so it prevents her from pushing the base across the table. She cannot push the base plate for sure, but she can pick it up if she set her mind to it. I try to distract her by giving her the fork and spoon. Now she tries to spear food with her fork and no longer tries to lift the entire plate. I suppose spearing is more of a challenge than lifting. I have to say that the fork and spoon are a good size for her hands and a good shape for picking up food.

Lastly, she has been able to separate off the white plate from the base by grabbing the dividers and spill food. But I have found that spreading a little olive oil on the dividers have positively foiled any attempts at picking off the white plate. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it makes for a cleaner meal.

I wish that they sold extra utensils and white plates so I don't have to wash it after every meal. I definitely don't want to pay for a new set and base!

Love this product5
I ordered these right before giving birth to my second child. With my first I BF until he was 13 months old, and I had a freezer full of bags of milk. In the end I threw all of it away, 3 months of milk and all those bags.
I figure I will BF my daughter until she is 12 months or she weans herself. I only store enough milk for a few days, and dump when we have a good supply.
I ordered the rack and extra bottles. And although they are different colors (pink or white) they work the same.
Clean up is nice since I can pump right into the bottles.
Great product for a working Mom, first in first out, saves you worrying about the age of the milk.

Great for storing small amounts of milk at a time5
These bottles are great for storing small amounts of milk, which is the way it should be done. Sturdier than plastic milk bags which can be punctured if they are bumped hard enuf against something else in the freezer. The rack is just OK, but not a necessity. I organized my bottles in a small box which kept them all in one place. The rack allows the bottles to slip out the backside if enuf pressure is put against the front/top bottle. Expensive if you buy alot of them, but worth it if one intends to breastfeed a decent while. Caution to be taken when filling tho. Allow for expansion, else you will have warped bottles (that won't roll in the rack). This was quickly learned when it happened only once. Filling just to where the bottle narrows to the neck is sufficient enuf to avoid warping.

Great BPA-free storage system4
I bought the storage rack and extra storage bottles and have been very happy with them. The only thing that could be better is designing a "backstop" on the storage rack so that you can't push any of the bottles off the back (which I do regularly). The bottles have nice inserts that seal them up before putting on the screw cap, for extra leak and sterilization protection.

Style for Dad5
For anyone that is excited to be Dad this is a great way to carry the arsenal that you will need in order to care for your little one. MUCH better than carrying your partners soft, padded, most likely feminine and oversized bag.

Best diaper bag EVER! Great for Mom AND Dad!5
I get compliments all the time on this diaper bag! Although I mostly carry it, Dad doesn't have to be embarassed when he gets diaper bag duty because it looks cool on him too. The outside pockets are PERFECTLY sized for easy access to wipes and diapers - even my baby's size 4 diapers fit just fine. Not too big, not too small. Highly recommended!

Not just for dads!5
It's nice to have a diaper bag with a little bit of attitude. It is well made and can be conveniently attached to a stroller.

LOVE IT!!!5
This Diaper Bag is probably the 10th one I've purchased, but I will not need to purchased another one. It holds everything I need with room for more, but really isn't that big. And the design of the bag makes everything easily accessible. Just open the flap on top or the drawer and voilà!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the drawer!! Keeps everything cushy & safe - like glass baby food jars, thermometer, etc.

Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
For over two decades i play., Inc. has been researching children's health issues to make safer feeding accessories that come in contact with babies' mouths and foods. Due to recent safety issues in children's toys we saw a need for toys free from potentially harmful toxins. So in 2008 we launched a new line of PVC, phthalate, BPA and nitrosamine free toys made from eco-friendly materials. Inside Baby: Pregnancy and early childhood are critical times in babies’ lives because they are growing and developing so rapidly. During this time they are vulnerable to elements in their environment, and parents should protect them as much as possible from exposure to potentially harmful substances. The first priority for growing babies is to make sure everything babies put inside their mouth is healthy, safe and promotes the development of strong immune system. • PVC free and Phthalate free: PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) is a hard plastic that requires harsh chemical softeners, such as phthalates, to make it appropriate for use in soft plastic baby toys such as squirty toys. In 2003 we discovered that phthalates were shown to disrupt reproductive functions and cause other developmental problems, so we launched a line of toys free from PVC and phthalates. • BPA free: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is used in hard, clear plastics sometimes used in baby toys to prevent breakage. In 2006 we learned that BPA also disrupts reproductive functions and causes other developmental problems, so we added a line of BPA free toys to our line. • Nitrosamine free: Nitrosamines are found in latex products such as some infant teethers. They have been shown to cause cancer in many animals, so all our teethers and soothers are nitrosamine free.


Customer Reviews

Bottom line is my son loves it4
BPA, PVC free and my son loves it. Not really much else to say. It keeps him entertained because it rattles, there are softer rubber ends for him to chew on, and it changes shape to keep him interested. The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is because on rare occasions when he twists it the wrong way it lightly pinches his hands and he cries. But he soon forgets about it and if we dont quickly give it back then he really balls.

Best Teether5
My son LOVES this teether. He likes the different textures on each little bump. It is great right out of the fridge, but he is happy even if it is room temperature. I like that it is BPA free.

Great5
This is the nicest ring I have ever seen for BPA free and water only filled. Very nice and useful product! Hard to describe but every smaller circle has an abrasion on it and helps with the teething process for a child. (Bumps for little gums to chew on in other words)

I bought this along with the stacking cups (meant for 6 months plus putting them away for him) and the keys. So far my child loves the keys more than the ring cool soothing teether. I am sure in time he will love this item as well. He is only four months old and this is a little heavy for him to hold currently. I love that it's only made out of water and is BPA free!

Great natural teether....5
Most teethers out there are hard and made of bad matterials, this one is soft and made of silicone. My son loves it.

During this time they are vulnerable to elements in their environment, and parents should protect them as much as possible from exposure to potentially harmful substances. The first priority for growing babies is to make sure everything babies put inside their mouth is healthy, safe and promotes the development of strong immune system. • PVC free and Phthalate free: PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) is a hard plastic that requires harsh chemical softeners, such as phthalates, to make it appropriate for use in soft plastic baby toys such as squirty toys. In 2003 we discovered that phthalates were shown to disrupt reproductive functions and cause other developmental problems, so we launched a line of toys free from PVC and phthalates. • BPA free: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is used in hard, clear plastics sometimes used in baby toys to prevent breakage. In 2006 we learned that BPA also disrupts reproductive functions and causes other developmental problems, so we added a line of BPA free toys to our line. • Nitrosamine free: Nitrosamines are found in latex products such as some infant teethers. They have been shown to cause cancer in many animals, so all our teethers and soothers are nitrosamine free.

Such a great value!5
This is my son's favorite toy, and for eleven bucks that's quite a deal. He literally can play with this toy for hours if given the opportunity. He's learned to press the button on the top that plays the music, and as soon as he does, he looks at everyone in the room and gives them a "look how smart I am" smile. It's hilarious! He's just now learning (at 12 months) how to put the stars back on the base. He couldn't do this a couple of months ago; he could only get them off, so it has grown with him. I put scotch tape over the speaker because there is no volume control and it can be quite loud. The tape still lets the tunes be heard, but now I don't have to talk over it! My mother is a daycare provider and she also has this toy, and her children love it, too; they even fought over it until she bought another one. That means I know of at least three children who can't get enough of this toy. It's worth its weight in gold!

Awesome toy5
I bought this one before my baby was born and he was just enthralled with it from day one. Whenever I pushed down on the star and the thing lit up, he just was mesmerized by it. Then, he decided that, being the engineer that he is, he'd rather play with it without the stars on it so he can see how it works. He just loves that! It's just so very pretty when it lights up and it also teaches coordination. He still plays with it and he's now three. Definitely a fanstastic purchase, one that can withstand having food dumped on it, being tossed onto the floor numerous times, you name it and it is still just like new.

One of Tyler's favorite toys!!5
We bought this toy for our baby's first Christmas, and he is over 2 now, and still loves it. He likes to take the stars off, and play the music. We call it his music stick, which he carries allllll over the house spinning to the music until he falls. The lights just make it even better to him. A great toy, not too expensive toy.

Lasting fun at a decent price5
We got two of these Vtech Rhyme & Discover Books for our twins last Xmas (Dec. 2008), and they played with these at least half an hour at a time, several times a day. At 10 months later the kids (now a little over 2 years old) still play with them regularly, anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes a day, sometimes more.
The books have been smeared by sticky hands and wipe clean well, and they have been dropped countless times without damage.
Just recently, 10 months later, we have changed the batteries (two AAAs) in one of the books, and the other one is still going on the batteries that came inside it.

The pros are:
*Price (you get lots of bells and whistles for this amount of money) and batteries included
*Durability
*Cleanability
*Visually interesting (Four panels or "pages," for a total of seven different pictures/sides to look at, plus a couple of two-sided movable pieces that make sound effects, and three light-up "tab" buttons in the shape of a lamb, kitten and puppy, each with their own sound effects)
*Huge musical variety -- some songs have a couple bars of vocals and some are just instrumental
("Ring around the rosie," "Twinkle twinkle little star," "Mary had a little lamb," "Little Bo Peep," "Hey diddle diddle," "Bingo," "Three little kittens," "This is the way we ...," "Old McDonald had a farm," "The farmer in the dell," "Rockabye baby," "This old man," "London Bridge is falling down," "Three blind mice," "Sur le pont d'Avignon")

The cons:
*The on-off switch has two volume choices, but the louder option is a little too loud for young ears. The lower volume is fine, and it would be nice if toy makers would put the volume switch somewhere less accessible to the child. My kids, and the ones I've babysat, all seem to like to crank the volume to the highest setting, and the highest setting seems as though it has the potential to damage hearing over the long term. (This is a problem with many toys, and not unique to this one.)
*It would be nice to have the entire song for some musical selections, but it's not a huge minus considering how many songs are included

Overall, based on my kids' experience with this toy, I would recommend this to my friends and/or give as a gift.

Couldn't pass this one up4
We already have 2 similar hard plastic talking books at home for the kids but when I was in the store and saw this one, I couldn't walk away without having it! There are 4 buttons to press and it lights up and plays music/sings songs. There are also little dials on the pages to move around and reward bonus noises/phrases.

It helps teaches Nursery Rhymes, Music, Animals & Words.

Very colorful.

Has 2 sound levels. The lowest volume is pleanty.

Fun toy!

My Baby Loves this book4
I got this book for my baby because she loves things that light up. Now she is 5 months old and it is still one of her favorite things.
The entire book is made of hard plastic so it handles being dropped pretty well and is easily wiped off. It plays lots of different songs when you play with the buttons- around 5 songs per page.
The only thing I don't like is it only sings half of the nursery rhyme and the first rhyme on the front is actually sang incorrectly she calls the "Kitty" a "kissy"- But my daughter loves to watch the lights and the buttons are easy for her to push.
Overall it's a really good book!
