(Our 10 month old loves it!)

(Don't Buy it at this price!)

(baby swim device)

(Love it!)

(Summer lovin' Mom)
For $17 on Amazon, it was a great buy and our little girl loves it. It seems to be very well made and is VERY stable. Haven't used the shade yet but I'm sure it will be useful on long days in the pool.
This item is great! We bought it for my now 9 month old in the spring and he stays steady. It's easy to take with us and I love the sun shade. But I didn't pay $100 for it! It's was at another store for $9.99. I would suggest finding it somewhere else and save yourself $90!
The product was perfect for my baby who was going to the pool for the first time the canopy blocked the sun well from him and it gave him enough room to play with the water as well as enough room to protect him from it, I also didn't have to worry about it flipping over.
I love our Swimways Baby Spring Float! My baby is a petite 9 month old and although she's got lots of room, it still offers enough support for her to enjoy the water. I love that it only takes a second to inflate or deflate and that it packs down small and so easily. The carry bag is ventilated so even put away damp it dries quickly. The canopy is a great option for all babies, especially ones who don't do hats well! I would highly recommend this product to friends, family and complete strangers!
If you're searching for a durable, easy-to-use float for your baby or toddler, this is the product for you! My daughter is 15 months, and it fits her just perfect. It sits her low enough in the water, she can get cooled off, but it provides her with security because the blow up ring that sits in the middle. This float would be very hard to tip over. The canopy is very sturdy and provides great sun protection.

I am more-than-pleased with my recent purchase and its sure to get much use this year in the pool! Would highly recommend...

An adorable accessory for the Baby Spring Float. Three-position adjustable, removable canopy protects baby from the sun and folds for storage just like the Baby Spring Float. Features an adorable "rainy day ducky" design and includes a carry/storage bag. 34"L x 30"W x 3"H. 1.64 lbs. Ages 9 to 24 months.

(Works with 15x42 metal frame pools by Intex)

(Great Turn Around Time)

(Excellent)

(CMS)

(Wish the filter would last a little longer...)
Filter cartridges are individually wrapped and can be reused as long as you hose it down, just like previous review says.
Product arrived several days soon then I planed on. It was exactly what I ordered and a ver y good price compared to other vendors. I will order from them again.
Works just the like the one they sell at pol supplies with that extra charge.
The company CMS Worldwide was very quick and efficient sending the filters. The filters are of the quality I expected.

Great Product, Great Company!!!

The filter works well but only for a couple of weeks. You must replace frequently.

(So Much Fun For The Whole Family)

(Great Family Game)

(Totally kewl family game!)

(Fun&Chanllenging)
This provides entertainment and exercise for ages 2 to 92+. This is also easily transported to where the the action is...across the lawn or across the country.
I purchased this for my husband for fathers day. We went camping over the 4th, and had such a fun time playing this game. From my 2 year old who loves just to hang the tossing balls on the different tiers to grandparents who were able to play because the balls are not so heavy as horseshoes. It is truely a laugh. My 3,4,&6 year olds could even play if you put the ladder close enough. The balls are filled with what seems to be sand, but are not so heavy someone gets hurt. The perfect game for the whole family, young and old alike. 5*****!!!!!
This is a great family game. The grownups have a blast, and even the small kids play it. It seems to be holding up well. Comes with a nice carrying case. This is a great game to take camping, play in the backyard or to a park or picnic.
This is an easy game for the whole family. It isn't complicated...but is is fun!!
Double Ladderball - This is a fun and challenging lawn game. Easy to put together or break down. Nice storage case to keep all parts together.

Length of toss can be adjusted to suit almost any age. Really fun !

(Small but fun)

(Love the Legos)

(Awesome set! Ignore the age limit too!)

(A good first duplo set to trigger creativity with blocks)

(Great Toy)
My 2 year old granddaughter was excited to see a new toy in Grandma's toy box. She enjoyed this, really loved the little kitty that is one of the pieces. The only complaint I have is the number of pieces, sure could have been a little bigger set for the money. We will buy more to sets as she really did enjoy this.
I purchased this toy for my 3-year old daughter. She loves it, as does every child when they get their first set of Legos. I like these better than the small Legos, for the choking factor and the ease of putting together; plus they are less likely to get lost. I do, however, wish it came with more pieces - you can't really build any fantastic structures with just 30-pieces. But I will happily buy more, as Legos are timeless! (And did I mention easy to clean?)
We have several sets of these Duplos and they are still loved and played with by kids even when they get older. To be honest, they're wonderful to build huge towers with them, and the older kids also add the smaller legos for bridges, roads, etc. They're just great fun, will last a lifetime and the price here is great on them too. They're still loved in this house - highly recommend!
When this arrived two months before my daughter's 1 year birthday, I decided to open it up and let her play with it instead of waiting to give it to her for her birthday. While she's still too young to play with the bricks as intended, she does love to put them in her mouth and bang them together. She may have a short attention span, but as soon as I get out the box of duplo bricks, she gets very excited and focused. I believe that this (along with more sets of duplo bricks - you can't ever have enough) will be a wonderful toy that she will grow to understand and play with better every day.

2 days ago, she put her first two bricks together.

I'm glad that I ignored the 18m+ and went ahead and started my daughter out early.

Couldn't be happier. And also, it's a great price for this starter set.

My son received this Lego Duplo set for his first birthday and he plays with it everyday! At first he just liked to knock down whatever I created with the blocks, but now at 15 months he can build too! The blocks are very colorful and sturdy. But this set is fairly small. We are purchasing the Deluxe set for Christmas to expand our building options- I might suggest starting with the bigger set and skipping this one!

A small complaint is that the lid is too hard for my son to open on his own, so we don't usually close it tight. Although, this could be a good feature if you needed to be sure the lid stayed on during travel or other circumstances.

Building isn't just for big kids - little ones like it too. This introductory set features Duplo bricks for smaller hands. Special elements include window, cat and flower to help jump-start imaginations. Container allows for easy clean-up and efficient storage. 33 pieces. Tub measures 7.56"H x 11.34"W x 7.99"D.

(Fantastic set for my 4-year old)

(Cool Addition to Lego)

(Five year old son loves it!)
I seriously considered this purchase for my son, who loves Batman but has the patience of a 4-year old. The age range on it says 5+, so I worried that it was too advanced. I was pleasantly surpised to find that he was able to do the majority of the construction, simply by looking at the printed booklet and following step-by-step. Not sure how educational that is, but I enjoyed watching him confidently fit the pieces together. It was fun putting helping him put it together when he couldn't understand the pictures. He really likes the set and he hasn't let either Batman or Mr. Freeze out of sight for the past few days.
It's a fun set, Mr. Freeze's gun is really cool, he has two blue jewels, and the cars don't fall apart too easily. Of course, neither car can survive being chucked against the wall, and I have had to rebuild them a few times. I'd recommend this set-It's fun and the stories my son comes up with are hilarious!

My son absolutely enjoys these lego products. What's cool is that this lego product is batman. Very durable as all legos are. I recommend this to be part of your batman lego collection.
My five year old son thinks that it's the best. It really looks like Mr. Freeze can freeze Batman! He was happy how the project looked after he put it together and never wants to take it apart.
That cold-hearted supervillain Mr. Freeze is getting away with a set of stolen diamonds! It's up to Batman and his high-tech pursuit buggy to track down his frozen foe and use his harpoon to reel in the crook's sub-zero speedster. Includes Batman and Mr. Freeze mini-figures. 76 pieces in all.

(If you have the time, I'm ready to play)

(Monopoly, the King of Board Games)

(Driving people into the poorhouse is not supposed to be a game!)

(A Timeless Classic)

(whatever happens, don't go broke !!!!)
Game Description: Monopoly is a real estate buying-and-trading game. There are many variations now on the market, using different themes and different locations or settings as their bases, but I am reviewing the original version, where all the place-names are derived from Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The board is square, and has forty small squares around the perimeter. A good image of the board can be found by looking on the Wikipedia.com page for the game. Play starts with a Banker being chosen, and each player getting $1500 US in Monopoly money, with the following denomination-distribution:

Two each of:
$500 bills (orange)
$100 bills (beige)
$50 bills (blue)

Six $20 bills (green)

Five each of:
$10 bills (yellow)
$5 bills (pink)
$1 bills (white)

Players each choose one of twelve pieces: a wheelbarrow, a battleship, a sack of money (1999 editions onwards), a horse and rider, a car, an old style iron, a thimble, a cannon, an old style shoe or boot, a Scottie dog, an iron, and a top hat. Going first is decided by rolling the dice, and play proceeds by each player rolling the two dice, moving that number of squares clockwise, and taking whatever action the square calls for. If the player rolls doubles, he or she gets another turn.

The squares include:

Twenty-eight properties, three Chance spaces, three Community Chest spaces, a Luxury Tax space, an Income Tax space, and the four corner squares: GO, Jail, Free Parking, and Go to Jail.

Players start on the GO square and, on each subsequent passing of that square, the player gets $200 from the bank.

If a player lands on the Jail square, he or she can be just visiting. If a player lands on Go to Jail, he or she moves to the Jail square, and cannot get out except by: Turning in a Get Out of Jail Free card, obtained from Chance or Community Chest; rolling doubles on a subsequent turn; paying the $50 fine. One can also land in jail for rolling doubles three times in a row.

If you land on Chance or Community Chest, the player draws the top card from the respective pile, takes whatever action it indicates, and discards the card on a discard pile. Chance and Community Chest cards can either benefit or penalize the player.

If a player lands on Luxury Tax or Income Tax, he or she must pay the indicated amount, to the Bank. See the Free Parking section for a twist on this.

If a player lands on Free Parking, by the official rules, nothing happens. However, the official rules, and tradition, have long encouraged the use of House Rules, that must be agreed upon by all players, before the game starts. One of the most common House Rules, is that the game start with $500 in Free Parking, and all taxes and fines be added to that. When a player lands on Free Parking, under this rule, he or she acquires the accumulated amount, often kept in the middle of the board.

If a player lands on an un-owned property, he or she can either purchase it, and hold the deed, or let it go up for auction. Sometimes, under House Rules, the auction option is not used, and that might be useful for new players.

If a player lands on an owned property, he or she must pay the rent, as designated on the owner's deed, unless that property is mortgaged. The rent doubles when the owner owns all properties in a color-set, and goes up more when the owner has developed the property by added houses or a hotel.

Play continues until all but one player has run out of money. The game can last anywhere from twenty minutes to three hours, depending upon the number of players and whether House Rules are in place. With the House Rule on Free Parking, described above, games can easily take three hours, as nearly-bankrupt players can be rapidly resurrected to wealthy status with one lucky turn.

Strengths of the Game: I am not a big fan of games where the outcome is largely a matter of chance and, while the roll of the dice is a factor is Monopoly, there is strategy to be used, as well. It involves deciding which properties to buy, which trades to make, and which properties to develop. In multi-player games, two weaker players can make mutually-beneficial trades, to defend against a player who is threatening to dominate the game.

On a more basic level, the game involves skills like turn-taking, money-handling, and counting, that younger players might need to practice. Monopoly really does capture the basics of economic systems in capitalist countries.

Weaknesses of the Game: The time involved can be a negative. Whenever a game can take two hours to play, it requires can be a problem. This issue can be resolved, however, by having all players agree, before the game starts, on a time limit. Some people might object to Monopoly also, based on how much it is based on money and capitalism. Another problem arise when a game is played with three or more players; the first player who goes bankrupt will have to find something else to do, unless he or she enjoys being a spectator. I prefer two-player games, for the reason.

History Trivia: While preparing to write this, I found out that the origins of it are somewhat in dispute, and this has resulted in a few copyright battles over the years. Parker Brothers, and its parent company, Hasbro, have most of the current rights, but there is still disagreement over who invented the game, in the first place.

What I Think: I have been playing Monopoly since I learned it, as a youngster. When two or more people have the time, I think it is a good, interesting way to spend an afternoon. I know that capitalism is not everyone's favorite economic system, but it is a fact of life in many countries and, agree with it or not, Monopoly teaches you the basics.


-- Chris McCallister, author of Coming Full Circle

What did children do before they had 100 channels on their televisions, the latest I-Pods, cell phones, computer games, and door-to-door transporation? ANSWER: They played Monopoly! Having gone through my formative years in the 1950's, when we had two channels on a snowy black and white screen and the use of our aunt's eight-party telephone line, we learned how to have a good time with what we had. And we had a rip-roaring good time playing Monopoly, the king of board games.

We played it fast paced, and we developed many skills. We learned from interacting with each other in a nonthreatening environment, as we sat around a little square table. (Imagine a family sitting around a table and conversing for hours!) We learned how to handle imaginary money, count, add without paper or a calculator, make change, handle real estate, roll with the punches, lose gracefully, and win without too much bragging. We developed social skills and vented our frustations as we played Monopoly.

I'm glad I grew up with Monopoly, a social feast in a box. We wanted to play to the end of every game, but sometimes we had to go to bed or do our chores. At that time, we would cash in so we could declare a winner.

Monopoly is the perfect balance between luck and skill. It is great for young players and adults alike. Playing with children is a super way for parents to learn about their children and teach them.

There is one problem I have with the new Monopoly games: I loved the little wooden figures that we used. It does not seem the same without them.

We are on the verge of a renaissance of board games. Monopoly is a great game for starters.


Who would have guessed that the street names of a small and seedy New Jersey wouldn't be the basis for a fascinating and fun game? Surprisingly, Monopoly turned out to be a game that (1) was incredibly long; (2) involved slow, grinding failure for those who were losing; (3) involved almost no skill but also (4) none of the excitement of chance. As far as I can tell, the only joy people get out of it comes from handling play money.

In many board games one goes round and round. But generally there is the sense one is going SOMEWHERE. In Monopoly--more true to life--there is nowhere to go. Just keep working and paying the man. If one is attracted to the idea that repetition can be the highest ethical moment, one only needs to play this game to be quickly disabused. In contrast to, say, Mousetrap [see my review] which highlights the nature of irreversible transitions, in Monopoly one orbits around a gaping hole of debt, slowly circling inwards towards failure.

This is also, unfortunately, one of those games that children always think will be fun. But for some reason it is incredibly unpleasant to lose at monopoly. In chess, you die an honorable death. In Monopoly you are slowly sucked dry by other, increasingly hateful, players.

The funny thing is, apparently Monopoly was actually invented (not by the goofball who gave it the street names) precisely to demonstrate the theories of the great American radical economic theorist Henry George. George argued that the cause of human misery was private ownership of land, an ethical monstrosity in itself. The game shows that when we allow people to own property, then even if all start out equal and are equally industrious, things can only end in the most extreme inequality.

That was NOT supposed to be enjoyable. It is a testament to the perversity of the American economic and judicial system that we turned this cautionary tale into a game in which the goal is to "win" by sapping everything from everyone else. This is simply a horrible game: I don't understand why there aren't analogue games like "ethnic cleansing" or "slum clearance." [24]

Never get too old for this game....must have for every kid, no matter the age. I enjoy playing it with my granddaughter as much as I did playing it when I was a child with my brothers and sisters.
Monopoly is an excellent game for almost all ages (eight years and up). The object of the game is to use your money and income to buy properties, railroads and more--and then charge rent to the other players when their tokens (playing pieces) land on them. Players simply roll the dice to see how many steps ahead they have to move their token; and the game can go on for hours and hours if the players are savvy enough and have the right experience playing the game.

I agree with many reviewers when they note that part of the fun of Monopoly is that you can make up a few of your own rules as you go along. You can get more than $200 for passing the "go" space, for example. You can trade properties, print your own extra money if you need more money and of course Monopoly official rules let you mortgage properties so that you can buy even more real estate. The game also comes with a special set of rules for a shortened version of the game.

The real estate starts relatively inexpensively and get more and more expensive as you and the other players go around the board. This helps to make the game exciting.

This game has another clear advantage: it teaches children how to count their money (counting skills) and it also helps to teach children how money is used in real life. Very young players just starting out should play this game with an older relative or a parent who can explain the rules to them.

Overall, I predict that Monopoly will be around for ages to come. There are many different editions of the classic Monopoly game. The newer versions of Monopoly have all been designed in the last twenty years or so--thus the game's popularity is very high.

I recommend this awesome game for ages eight and up.

In 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, an unemployed heating engineer from Pennsylvania created the game of Monopoly. Realizing that his get-rich theme might appeal to other Americans, he had the game printed and distributed in a Philadelphia department store. When he couldn't keep up with the overwhelming requests for more sets, he arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. And the rest, as they say, is history. But Monopoly is far from a quaint historical relic. To this day, it remains a riveting game of luck, chance, and savvy wheeling and dealing--all of which can make some lucky dog rich, rich, rich! Based on the purchase of Atlantic City real estate (a city currently renowned for its get-rich gambling opportunities), Monopoly is now printed in 26 languages with more than 200 million sets sold worldwide. Players still scoot the same beloved board pieces: the old shoe, the terrier, and the hot rod. This set also includes rules for a shortened version of the game and a new token, winner of Monopoly's recent "design a token" contest. This is capitalism at its most fun and ruthless, a must-have edition in the family game closet.--Gail Hudson

(Purchased for 1 yr old son)

(Lego Duplo)
This was not a bad buy for my son. He enjoys throwing them all of the place. I am starting to think I purchased this a little early. He does like the fact he can knock down everything I try to build.
My three year old daughter loves these blocks. I like them because they are compatable with the Lego Quatro, which have been her favorites for the last two years. They won't build the big structures you are used to building with quatro, but they have more variety to spark the imagination. My only complaint is there doesn't seem to be enough, they could have put twice as many blocks in this bucket!
