 Still using it at 8 months - she loves it!, July 26, 2008
She was on this gym right from birth, and it's still a play station for her in our place. I bet she'll still be interested in it when she is crawling. She has always loved this. The music and lights underneath really catch her attention and soothe her. I love the rainforest sounds combined with the tunes.
It would be nice if the butterflies rotated on their own.
It's actually quite tacky compared to Tiny Love - mostly because the fabric is shiny nylon while Tiny Love is cotton (I think). I can't complain too much because she loves it though. Oh, we did add the Tiny Love Baby Wind chimes - and they were a hit! I love the way they sound too. Highly recommend that addition.
I might be tempted next time to buy a Tiny Love gym - but I would spend the money to get lights and music again for sure.

 8 months and still using it, July 26, 2008
Love this chair. She doesn't go crazy bouncing in it - but somehow she is so content in it even though she is a very active baby. We keep it in the kitchen and she sits there while we are preparing meals. Sometimes we have to bring it in the bathroom when we have to shower and she's awake. We also take it to travel and we feed her in it at Grandma's place. She has been in it practically since birth. It washes nicely and comes on and off super, super easy. We also had a two year old sit in it and go crazy bouncing. He just loved it. It's pricey - but I think it's worth it since we use it so much.
The only downside is the toy bar doesn't sit on it well. It's not a huge deal - but it could be improved. She has always liked the simple wood teddy bear toys.
I might like it to have one more setting to sit up that much more - but it's not a big deal either. It has three settings already.
Love this chair.

Like that toothbrush heads are enclosed, July 26, 2008
I really like this, mostly because our toothbrush heads are enclosed. Bonus that they get cleaned, although, not sure if it really works or not. It's not like you can tell. I don't use the fancy settings or anything. It works great though. It's overpriced for what I like about it. I have always been a fan of sonicare toothbrushes though. Very powerful and reliable.

Just what I wanted, July 26, 2008
It has clean lines and holds a lot for it's size. We use it in the corner of our apartment deck outside the kitchen to hold excess [bulk] items like canned goods, pop etc. It just gives us a little extra storage and a place to sit on the deck. It's not fancy, but it's clean, sturdy and discrete.

 not great for wide bottles or adult drinks to hold, July 26, 2008
I was disappointed that I could not fit my own drink in the cup holder. In fact, it's even hard to fit a wide baby's bottle in them, and certainly can't be done with one hand. Maybe after a lot of use you can because the fabric stretches. Also - the bottle holders are not enclosed at the bottom - which is fine if you are putting a bottle in there - not so fine if you want to use it to hold other, smaller items.
It does hold a lot in the larger pocket although I do wish it was not see-through mesh - just because it looks messy. I use the smaller pocket for my wallet, cell phone & keys. I put my drink in that smaller pocket too sometimes if it doesn't need to be too steady.
It's lightweight, keeping the stroller lightweight overall. That may be why they used the mesh material, and why they did not enclose the cup holders. Probably better for folding too.

Great to start - then stuffing sunk down like any pillow, July 26, 2008
It was great in the beginning, but as I have been using it more - the stuffing has become compact and therefore less full. As a result, I keep adding more water. I'm pretty sure I have exceeded the limit of water that should go in - and I may regret it!

Fiine for light items - not high quality, July 26, 2008
It looks great at a glance, but I wouldn't use it outside and I wouldn't put heavy items in it. We bought it with low expectations. We didn't want to spend a lot of money because it is in our sunroom off our bedroom that gets really hot and will likely bleach it. We store pillows and bedding in it. It opens well enough and stays open.
I took a chance buying it after reading less than glowing reviews. It does look nice enough - but you have to be gentle with it. It's a bit overpriced.

Overall great - just one minor issue, July 26, 2008
The only downside to this is that bigger toys (like stuffed animals) can't really fit in the lower shelves without bumping the upper shelves out of place. So we just use the upper shelves for the bigger stuff.
Love this otherwise. Very gender neutral colours, helps organize toys - very accessible to our 8 month old who is sitting on her own and reaches the first two shelves. Will be good for teaching her to put toys away too. It's nice that you can take individual bins out when you want to bring some toys to another room. It seems to be made well, and the bleached wood colour blends well into our neutral walls and carpet. My friends are already wanting to buy it too. I would definitely buy it again.

pulls hair well - tons of ingrown hairs - lasts a week, July 26, 2008
I was very surprised with how well it pulled hairs out - even after two days of letting the shaved hair grow back. It does hurt most on your bikini area for sure - and the upper leg isn't great either. It leaves red bumps for close to 24 hours (on me anyway). The good news is that it hurts tons the first time, but as there are less and less hairs - it gets more and more tolerable - even as you are using it the first time.
I have not tried my underarm.
I first tried July 9th, and I have done it at least 4 times since then (including today, July 25th). I have been exfoliating religiously since I tried this and I have tons of ingrown hairs. Not a lot of deep ones, just hair growing just below the surface and I need a pin to bring them to the surface before the Braun pulls them out. Very time consuming since there were so many that I lost count.
So - I'm not sure if I would buy it again. I am happy with how well hairs are pulled out. However, I am disappointed with the ingrown hairs, and my hair does grow back in about a week. However, a professional wax lasts that long too on me. I'm going to research to see if there is a miracle cure for ingrown hairs, because if there is - this shaver will be great!

Love it, April 11, 2008
We put our tiny 5 month old on it and she can do it. It is super easy to use, good grip and easy to clean out - so far anyway. Since she is so little, I use it on the counter so it's not so hard on my back. Of course it will go on the floor when she is older.
