Halo Newborn Microfleece SleepSack Swaddle - Light Pink
 |
|
 Quality and Cute!, August 19, 2007
This is a wonderful swaddle sleepsack combo. Initially I registered for a Circo brand from Target in order to save money. When I received it, I imediately returned it because the fabric quality was so cheap! I replaced it with a Halo, and discovered that the price was worth it. I like that the swaddle can be completely removed or attached with the velcro.
The design is super cute. I don't know for sure what the other reviewer mentioned, mine zips bottom to top, so that the zipper is at the Bottom near baby's feet. This is nice for changing diapers without having to completely remove/unzip. It is warm. It is very soft, and the quality is very nice. I am impressed.

These are the ones to buy!, August 19, 2007
I am very pleased with the quality, size, and versatility of this set of dishwasher baskets. I have washed nipples, pacifiers, bottle rings, and all the pieces of our Avent Sippy cups, including the rings and handles.
I found it a tad small for the avent nipples on the bottom of the one basket, but a little maneuvering and they fit nicely although snug. I liked that the round basket held the avent sippy cup plastic pieces, and the larger basket holds everything from rings to handles to sippy cup spouts. It's nice to have such a nice assortment that you can either choose the basket you want, or in my case, use all of them at once. Excellent Quality and I was super pleased when I received them.
The large basket is especially nice to add in smaller plastic toys like rattles and things to keep them clean and sterile.

 Nice Gate... Appears complicated at first..., August 19, 2007
I purchased this gate before our baby was born. I wanted it to keep the dogs/baby separate when necessary. We use a gate on a daily basis between the porch where the dogs sleep and the living room. I had been stepping over our cheap wooden gate for years, and it was especially difficult while 9 months pregnant. I wanted a gate that would open and close easily and safely so that I wouldn't have to step over it with a baby in my arms. I decided on this gate because I didn't want one that I had to "mount" because we have all original antique woodwork. I liked that the gate auto-shut behind you.
When the gate arrived I was VERY Excited, but was quickly disappointed that the gate extensions and the tension screws don't "attach" to the gate in any way, but are just sitting together with metal rods. This works fine when the gate is IN the doorway, but it isn't a gate that you can just "unscrew and take out" without the whole assembly falling apart. The extensions and the tension screws are only attached to the gate by the tension that holds it in the doorway. This surprised me. It made it difficult to get into the doorway initially and I almost gave up in frustration.
Once I had it in place, it took LOTS of tweaking to get it just perfect, just level, and to get the "gap" to close properly to allow it to actually latch.
We have been using it for a week and are especially pleased with the gate overall. I think I was just shocked initially that it wouldn't be able to be removed easily. I am glad that I only bought one, because we will likely only use this gate in one area because of the fact that it isn't easily removed and reinstalled like a quick cheap gate.
I also don't like that while the gate swings shut, it doesn't latch on it's own, just swings shut. It is a nice gate overall and we are very pleased. I don't know if I would find one better for this price.

Good Crib, Looks beautiful. Finish Does Crack Easily..., June 27, 2007
We assembled this crib last month and even though the baby isn't here yet to use it, I am going to review what I already know or I will forget. It's an ice crib, very pretty, very sturdy. The assembly was quick and easy until we got to the drop side which seemed almost impossible to slide on when all the plastic clips needed to align just right and stay that way while you slid the side on. My husband almost blew a gasket over the drop side, but once we got it on, it worked nicely. Other reviewers have commented on the two solid ends meaning you can't use a bumper, but my bumper ties on and stay just fine, even without the ends tied in the center. I didn't think it was a big problem. The mobile fit, the waterfall soother fit, and everything looks nice. We got this in combo with the sealy posturpedic crib mattress and it fit perfectly. Make sure you save the "wrench" so you can lower the side later. The finish does seem to crack easily as it arrived with a few blemishes and cracks, but nothing too noticeable unless you are looking for it.

Lauren Armoire by Delta Children's Products -White

Nice Armoire, Great for the price, June 27, 2007
We bought this armoire from Target after lots of research about other armoires. The shipping price was acceptable and with a 15% off furniture sale it was highly affordable. It took several days to ship but arrived quickly once it did ship. My mom and I took everything out of the box. There were two pieces that had small cracks, and the plastic strip that goes down the center of the back was broken, but we were still able to assemble and it's plenty sturdy. The clothing bar is just a wood dowel rod on plastic supports, so it holds kids clothes without a problem, but the one poster who mentioned that it holds adult hangers... that's not something I would count on. the hanger (empty) just barely fits in there and I am not sure it would work with clothes, both for space constraints and the weight of heavier clothes. Overall we are pleased. There were several places during assembly where there were no pre-drilled holes, and you had to "make your own" and sometimes at awkward angles. This about drove my husband crazy but we made it through. We assemble a LOT of furniture (especially in the last few months we have assembled a glider/ottoman, changing table, dresser, nightstand, and a crib) and this one said that it would take one hour. It took the two of us almost 2 full hours.... because it wasn't the easiest assembly ever.... and we are pretty good with assembly. But the quality and price were great.

Boppy Original Blue Bubbles Infant Support Pillow
 |
|
 Adorable- But the Bubbles are NOT a slipcover...., February 28, 2007
I purchased this as a gift for a friend, and now being pregnant myself, I have purchased a boppy. The only thing that I was disappointed about, I thought the bubbles print was a slipcover. It isn't. Therefore she had to buy a different slipcover. I would have been much happier if for the price It had been a boppy with the blue bubbles slipcover. But it's the actual boppy pillow that has the bubbles, and there is no slipcover. I ended up choosing a different boppy for myself, and saved money PLUS got a cover with it.

Liz Lange for Target Tea raw edge pant - XL
 |
|
Comfortable and roomy, February 28, 2007
I really enjoy these pants. They are very comfortable and soft, and extra long. I like that they have pockets (and usually I hate pockets because they stick out funny) but the waistband is super soft. they are larger than I imagined which is great because at 4 months I feel like I have lots of room to grow. I find myself wearing these around the house and wish they had lots more colors so I could own some more. I dislike the jacket very much, but was very pleased with the pants.

Liz Lange® for Target® Raw Edge Jacket - Tea

 Dissapointing and Poorly Cut, February 22, 2007
I was seriously disappointed in this jacket. I thought it was so cute on the model. I did notice that it seemed short and that it might not cover the belly, but I was not worried, planning on wearing a shirt underneath. I ordered a size larger than I would usually order, to be sure it would fit. The sleeves were more than 6 inches too short, but not short enough to be 3/4 sleeves. The shoulder seams were more "off shoulder" giving the feel of a very uncomfortable and poorly fitting item. The ruching was adorable, but it was so tight across my belly at 4 months, and so short, that I couldn't imagine wearing it for 7 or 9 months. I ordered the pants (in a size smaller than the jacket) and they were soft and roomy, although a bit long on me, and that's saying something for someone who always has to buy a tall pair of pants. I will be keeping the pants but this jacket is ridiculous and It is going right back. I was very disappointed.

Pieces Missing Or Damaged, But the Glider was Wonderful!, February 22, 2007
We ordered this for our nursery and I assembled it myself in less than 30 minutes. It's great quality and looks wonderful. Many people think it came from a much more expensive store. It's nice and wide bodied and very comfortable.
When it arrived there was no allen wrench. Luckily I had a set at home and was able to assemble all but two bolts because the allen wrench that I had wouldn't fit into the tight space that was required. One of the arm cushions had a spot the size of a pencil eraser and the other arm cushion had the velcro sewed on backwards so that it wouldn't affix to the arm.
[...]
I love the set, the price was great, but the shipping and the way the issues I had were handled was a little on the strange side. I think Target could have done much better at handling the issues. But at least we had the parts soon.

Thought the purse was wonderful.... then it started to crack, February 15, 2007
UPDATE: 2/27/2006 Target will not let me change the number of stars that I gave this bag but I can add to the review. I used this bag for almost 1 week and it was completely in normal conditions. The bag never once touched the floor. The handbag Leather has begun cracking and splitting along one side, and one corner. I was so upset when I saw it. I will be returning this and hoping for an exchange. I hope that the next one does not do this. I was very happy with the handbag until I had been using it for a week.
PREVIOUS REVIEW... BEFORE USE: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this purse. I like that it's wide enough to fit accessories like a bulky checkbook and even a small umbrella! It's fabulous, and the top clasp is easy to open and close, and folds over to look very fabulous. The straps are a nice length, I can put it over my shoulder and it is held tightly under my arm so I don't feel like anyone could tear it away or get inside without my knowing. Very sharp bag!
