 Quickly became a favorite, March 30, 2008
I purchased 2 sets of these for my home last year, then when we sold that home, I made a point of bringing them with me to our new home because I just fell in love with the look.
I get a lot of compliments on them!
They bring in just the right amount of light and still give me privacy from any local peeping toms :)
They are super easy to clean. Even when they do get dusty from my lack of housecleaning skills- it's hard to tell.
They are a great buy!

 Addicting fun!, March 22, 2008
We're big Mario Party fans in this house...from it's Nintendo 64 days to now!
The Wii version is super fun, with it's very large assortment of mini games to play.
The boards are really cute, and the mini games are fun & easy to play.
I do wish that there were more game boards to play, and more "secret" boards and games to unlock- like they have in the past.
If you are looking for some fun family entertainment, this is a great choice (even the grandparents got involved!!).
It's definately not a challenging or complicated game.

Black & Decker 10-Cup Power Pro Wide-Mouth Food Processor - FP1510

 Ok for the price, March 22, 2008
We were looking for a processor to make homemade baby food, and this definately does the job for us.
As another reviewer mentioned- the lid gets stuck on occassion. (I have no use for the dough blade, so I don't know if that was missing from the box)
The one thing that really annoys me though- is that the little suction cups on the bottom of the unit come off frequently when I try to move the processor. I've actually lost one of them because of this, now the unit sits uneven on my countertop.
Ah well... for the investment price, I'll suck it up!

Yes, hard to assemble- but worth the effort, March 22, 2008
As mentioned earlier, yes, this is rather tricky to assemble. Mainly due to some confusing directions included with the seat. It takes a little trial and error.
I never had any problems reclining the seat, as some others say.
My daughter loves sitting in this seat and watching me cook. I love that it's a 3 point harness, it can attach to my existing chairs, and the pad is washable. I would recommend if you are planning on using it for your infant- purchase a head positioner to use with the seat. Even in a reclining position, my daughter still seemed to sway to the side without one.

Great entertainer for baby, March 19, 2008
My daughter loves watching this before she goes to sleep. The blue light and movement/music is great for soothing her too.
My only complaint (and I curse it everyday), is that I sincerely wish that it would play longer.
I haven't timed it, but it seems to only last between 5-10 minutes. I wish I had the ability to set my preference (15-20 minutes).

Only one complaint...otherwise it would be 5 stars!, March 19, 2008
This swing has been a lifesaver for our daughter (well..US really).
It's very comfy, and very pretty. She also loves looking at the rotating animals and the mirror (which I didn't realize was there until after we got it-BONUS).
And I love how the tray is detachable (some aren't!)
My only real complaint is that it can't be plugged in.
We go through those C batteries like you wouldn't believe!
My sister in law has the Rainforest Swing which can be plugged in. Although I loved the look of this one so much better.
My recommendation... stock up on those batteries.

I'm torn, March 19, 2008
This seat was very easy to install, and seems very sturdy.
With that said:
I do absolutely hate how bulky (wider than the other infant seats on the market) and HEAVY it is.
It's very akward to lug this thing around. I have no idea how that lady who weighed 115lbs can do it.. and by the way, thanks for rubbing that 115 lbs in too! (New mom and 115 lbs...hmmmph)
It can also be a little tricky to unlatch the car seat from it's base while in the car.
The sun visor has come unattached a couple times on me too while I'm trying to cart this bad boy around.
It is sharp looking.
But I think there are others on the market just as safe, just as comfy, but cost (and weigh) less.

An every day staple in our house, March 19, 2008
I haven't had any of the problems the other reviewers talk about. We've owned this bottle warmer for almost 4 months and I couldn't do without it.
It's so much easier than the "old fashioned methods".
It's very compact and doesn't take up much counter space.
It seems to be very consistent in heat.
The only con I can say, is that I do need to clean it at least every other week. We have some fairly hard water though, and it builds up calcium (which can burn).
I find just putting a vinegar/water solution in and turning on the warmer works great.

 Waste of money., March 19, 2008
I think I put them in the junk drawer about 5 minutes after I first used it!
They hardly fit one bottle, much less any toys you'd like sanitized/cleaned.
The small version (mine was a two pack of one large, one small) is a complete waste of money. I can't imagine what they had in mind when designing these.

I really liked them, March 19, 2008
These were recommended by my lactation consultant (she liked their slow flow nipple).
I liked the design. They are slim, curved (to keep the nipple full while feeding), priced nicely and very cute.
I never had a problem with leaking... unless I forgot to screw the cap on all the way at 5 am...half asleep.
