I bought this table for my day care to use indoors, because I wanted to get rid of the individual chairs and use a bench style. The only complaint I have is I don't know how to fold it down, without taking the screws back out. Other then that, the table serves its purpose of providing a large enough bench style table, for my day care children. So far I've been able to seat 5 at the table without a problem.

We bought this for our 18 month old son. He loves it! He loves to sit, climb, walk on and just use the table. It is very sturdy and durable. It was even easy for my husband to put together, big plus!

We purchased this table for our three grandsons who were all coming for Thanksgiving. Our home is small and we thought this would give them a "place" of their own. Little did we know that they would spend all of their time at it - playing, eating, coloring, putting puzzles together, etc. It served as a fort by the "native Indians" and as a mountain. Our grandchildren are not too wild nor too rough, so this was a perfect choice. I don't think it would hold up to too much "heavy" play. It was put together without much frustration and it does collapse for storing as advertised.

Purchased this for my 6 year old daughters birthday birthday party. It worked out great and held multiple children. My 6 year old was a tad bit big for it, but it didn't seem to matter. It worked out great.

This was quite difficult to put together, but it is very sturdy for children. It's a great size and I appreciate the neutral colors which match our deck perfectly!

Delivery was quick and reasonably priced. But as my husband states, "You get what you paid for"! Hardware was missing from the motorcycle that we had to go out and buy since they were small screws,,,flashing light missing and lucky if the battery lasts 20 minutes after charging for over 24 hrs. I wrote to company wanted a price reduction in the product for our having replace hardware, replace flasher from an old toy motorcycle we had and possibly a stronger battery for the bike. The compartment that holds that battery and take a higher voltage battery but the company puts the lowest rate battery in bike. Wrote to company and they will gladly refund my money if I send it back. How do you send back a toy this size back to the company after it's put together. I merely asked for a % off for our inconvenience and added expense. No accomodations made. Not satisfied with the customer service or the product. My grandson in tears when he couldn't go on his bike for a period of time.

Front wheel broke as soon as 2 1/2 yr old grandson started moving. The Battery-Operated Motorcycle lasted less than two min. The Co. has yet to answere my email.

MY SON LOVES IT, BUT WE CAN'T GET IT TO KEEP A CHARGE. THE BATTERY SAYS IT IS 20 HOURS BUT HE CAN RIDE IT FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES TILL IT IS DEAD.

I ordered the Time Life Treasury of Christmas but recieved something called "Evergreen". No time to mess with sending it back as I ended up in the hospital until two days before Christmas.

I specifically requested the 1987 Time Life Treasury of Christmas CD, 2 CD set, with 45 songs on it. I just needed another disc B because mine got lost. I checked the songs on my disc A with the songs on the website. They were identical, but when it came in the mail it was different. I made sure before I bought the set that it was the 45 song set, but that is not the one that came in the mail. Buyer Beware!

If you grew up in the '50s or '60s, this is a must for your CD collection. This is what Ward, Wally and Beaver would have listened to on the hi-fi while they were putting up the Cleaver Christmas tree with the aroma of June's Christmas cookies wafting in from the kitchen.

As with the first Christmas CD that I reviewed, which technically goes hand in hand with this particular Christmas CD (originally they were sold as a set), I must say that this one is just as amazing as the other one. As I said, these are the original songs by the original artists and the sounds are top notch. Burl Ives was a local son from my hometown area and many of us will remember him as "Sam the Snowman" in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and there are many other wonderful singers on the CD from years past. These remind me of Christmases from when I was growing up, the big family dinners at our house, the aromas of great homecooking, the tree, decorations, the cold and snow outside, the presents and of course the fellowship of family and friends that would "stop by" bearing gifts and wishing us a very Merry Christmas. Those were very happy times for me! So please - buy a copy of this CD - it can make remembering old traditions memorable and also make fabulous new traditions for the youngsters out there!

When we play this Christmas CD, we suddenly find ourselves back in time when we were kids listening to the stereo at home on Chrismtas Day. It's a perfect way to create or recall Christmas memories.

I have nothing to add to the rave reviews above (below?) -- I too grew up with Fiedler, and wish there were someone like him today making classical music accessible and fun for all ages. If I'd been doing the selecting, however, I'd have dropped most of the George M. Cohan medleys and added more Leroy Anderson -- "Christmas Festival Overture", "Fiddle Faddle", "Clarinet Candy", "Blue Tango", all those wonderful light, inventive pieces the Boston Pops made famous. Anderson is one of our great underrated American composers.

When I was a child in the late 50's and 60's, the evening meal was eaten at the dining table, with the whole family gathered together. We always had music playing ... usually Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra. This great collection of Arthur Fiedler's works includes many of Fiedler's favorites, but also many of my family's favorites, too. I have my entire CD collection in ITunes, and added this compilation to the others. I now have over 16 Fiedler CD collections, which total over 28 CD's. I am surprised at how many pieces are not duplicated from other CD's or CD collections in "100 Fiedler Favorites." When I first played these 7 CD's, I was thrilled. However, when I compared the duplicates from this collection to the other CD's, I was greatly disappointed in the tonal quality. When I mentioned this to someone who has used ITunes longer than I have, he suggested that I re-import my entire collection at 320 kbps, instead of the default setting (128 kbps) that I had used. Some hours later, I was glad that I had taken the time. While I can still hear a SLIGHT difference in the sound quality, it is minimal. Unless you bounce back and forth between two recordings of the same piece, it IS NOT obvious. I am once again delighted with this collection. Based on it's name, one would expect to have 100 pieces in this collection. Yet, in true Fiedler fashion, there is an encore, making a total of 101! If you enjoy this, I would also recommend the Fiedler Legacy collection, as a supplement to 100 Fiedler Favorites. (If I could only have one, I would PROBABLY choose "100 Fiedler Favorites" but The Arthur Fiedler Legacy, as a set, is pretty spectacular, too) The Arthur Fiedler Legacy is not sold as a set; each of the 5 CD's is sold separately. "The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Stars and Stripes: An American Concert" includes 76 Trombones, Trumpeter's Lullaby, The Entertainer, Bernstein's Music from Mass, variations on America, etc. (Not found on Amazon on 5/7/08.) "The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Symphonic Spectacular" includes 1812 Overture, Sabre Dance, Bolero, Bach's Fugue in G Major, Danse Macabre, etc. The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Symphonic Spectacular "The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Evening at Pops" includes Aquarius from "Hair", Blue Danube, Gypsy Baron March, Tubby the Tuba, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Dream Pantomime from Hansel & Gretel, etc.The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Evening at the Pops "The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: From Famous Broadway to Hollywood's Reel Thing" includes medleys from Fiddler on the Roof, Mary Poppins, Star Wars Theme, Alfie, Midnight Cowboy and Day by Day from "Godspell," etc. The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: From Fabulous Broadway to Hollywood's Reel Thing "The Arthur Fiedler Legacy: Superstars and Songbooks" includes I think I love you, King of the Road, Do you know the way to San Jose, Leaving on a Jet Plane, etc. Superstars and Songbooks: Pops by Arrangement Those 5 Legacy sets, each with 2 CD's, when added to "100 Fiedler Favorites," make a total of 265 pieces, for a total of nearly 21 hours of listening! Yet I only see 8 duplicates: Little Fugue in G minor, Stardust, Jalousie, Dream Pantomime from Hansel and Gretel, Sabre Dance, Days of Wine & Roses, Blue Danube and, of course, Stars and Strips Forever. My only disappointment in either 100 Fiedler Favorites or the Legacy collections, is the arrangement of the songs. I understand why Arthur Fiedler Legacy CD's are packaged the way they are: The title of the CD explains the style of music. With the 100 Fiedler Favorites, the first 3 CD's are a nice mix of Light Classical music. CD #4 is mostly Strauss waltzes and polkas, with a waltz by Lehar and Waldteufel thrown in for good measure. CD #5 is mostly marches, including, but not limited to, patriotic marches. CD #6 features American composers who lived in this century: Gershwin, Copeland, Gould, Rodgers, Anderson and Cohen. CD #7 is primarily a mix of more "current" songs (Bearing in mind that Fiedler died in 1979, "current" is current for his time: Mancini and the Beatles, Stevie Wonder; I Left My Heart in San Francisco; The First Time I Saw Your Face; Smoke Gets in Your Eyes). I personally would have preferred a mix of all of these, rather than straight CD's of one type of music. (Which is why I like ITunes!) If you are a Fiedler fan, or enjoy the light classics, this is a "Must Have" set.

Favorites from my youth, wonderful to hear again. Fine selection, musically and technically high class. We listen to them often.

This is a great compilation recorded in the days of "The Boston Pops" greatest director Arthur Fiedler. You will be delighted in listening long and forgotten recordings by Fiedler's Pops, like Gershwin, "Cuban Overture", "Prince Igor, Polovetsian Dances" etc. etc. A must have for all classical music and Boston Pops Fans. This great compilation makes one reminisce of old times Boston and its silver shining cold autumn afternoons and strolls on the Boston Common. The days when Arthur Fiedler's Boston Pops presence was felt in "The Hub". Don't miss this great CD album set.

Who can deny Arthur Fielder was the most charismatic American conductor of the Century? . This acknowledgement goes far beyond the fact his countless efforts for bringing the academic music to wider audiences. His gifts as conductor have deserved him several insurmountable versions ( Liszt' Preludes, De Sousa, Strauss ` Thunder Polka, Mendelssohn' s Fingal cave, Gershwin's works and so many other radiant performances) . Fielder got simply to express with major level of Dionysian euphoria, showy elegance, pristine brilliantness, and orchestral coloratura, the sense and heartfelt conviction about the meaning of the works he used to conduct. Don't miss these jeweled performances.

I bought this 4-disc set at Costco a decade ago when it was still called Price Club, and I still listen to it. Each of the 4 discs contains music from a particular season of the year, and the compilations cover numerous pieces from all the styles of classical music; from Baroque thru the Romance period. Leading each disc are the appropriate parts from the 4-Seasons by Vivaldi. Thee are followed by pieces from composers such as Copland, Beethoven, Strausss, Mozart, Dukas, etc... Some of the pieces are quite famous, and should have been left out as most classical fans already have them; i.e. Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. The up-side is that this set also has a lot of more obscure pieces that are quite good; such as "Sleighride" by Mozart. Overall, this set provides multiple hours of good listening that is appropriate for a car ride, or while reading a book.

I bought this scooter board for my son's 2nd birthday. He has some sensory processing issues and has been seeing an occupational therapist. This is one of the items he uses in his therapy and continued to have some dislike for the movement and positions which I wanted to continue to address at home. This product is very sturdy and big enough for my 2 year old to lay on his stomach and be well supported. Well worth the money when compared with other boards on the market!

Reviews

We charged it once and it worked great. Charged it again and it didn't work after that. This is a horrible product.

I felt pretty stupid when, after reading several bad reviews here, I bought this battery anyway and it only ran for 5 minutes after recharging it the first time. My husband tested the charger to ensure it was functioning properly and then took the battery to a local battery specialty store for testing, which confirmed the battery was perfectly fine. Then upon returning home he discovered the switch on the power bar on the back of his workbench had been accidently flipped to the off position. Our original and back up batteries have both been recharging and functioning perfectly ever since. I'm posting this review as a reminder to other people to check every possibility, including having the battery tested, before assuming their battery is bad.

This works in my Daughters Barbie jeep and it is excellent replacement batery and worth the money savings by waiting 2-3 days to ship it here.

I shopped around searching many websites and retailers and by far this was the best deal i was able to find for this OEM battery.

This battery was a great value! It came fully charged and once installed had the older model Power Wheels Jeep working as though it was brand new.

Item appeared to be brand new and in perfect condition. I plugged it up to the power wheels motorcycle and it worked great. Item was sent in a timely manner.

Original 6 volt Power Wheels battery. Durable and includes built in fuse to protect the battery and Power Wheels from overheating and catching fire. There are some alternatives to the original batteries, some of which can be less expensive. But that means you have to add your own fuse to the battery. The only reason to use batteries other than these factory ones is if you plan to modify your powerwheels to go faster using other batteries (i.e. running 18 volts into the 12 volt powerwheels system). Google it if you want more info. Otherwise, if you're not handy nor interested in modding your powerwheels, then this is the battery you're looking for.

Like other people that bought the batteries....It was not the same battery and I am out 73.00!! There is no way to return it and I hope anyone else thinks twice before they buy off of here. You are better off paying the little bit extra to get what you need.

I purchased a replacement battery for our granddaughter's Power Wheels 4 wheeler. The battery was a perfect match as promised and our granddaughter loves it. She back on the road (not literally)again.

We have a battery powered ride on toy that requires 2 of these batteries. The two that came with the toy lasted for 5 years. We purchased 2 more this year so that our daughter could enjoy the ride hopefully for another 5 years. I contacted the seller for help and they were quick to respond and had the best price that I could find. They shipped quick and the item arrived in a well packaged manner. I'd buy again from this seller in a heartbeat. Thanx

I have had this charger for 2 years, and it charges the battery with no problems. (Mine is perhaps an older version, the battery connector is grayish, not brownish as the picture here appears.) Anyway I noticed that mine puts out noise across pretty much the entire short-wave band, especially if you leave it connected to the battery after charging is finished. Not a problem for most people, but if you use short-wave radio you will want to unplug this device.

I ordered this charger for an older model Fisher Price Power Wheels. It worked perfectly and was priced right. The little jeep is now working as if brand new.

Bought this charger to keep the Power Wheels running and it worked great one time. I went to use it again and it was still red after 4 hrs. I hope it didnt ruin the battery. I guess I will go back to the original charger. What a rip-off!!!!!!!

This charger is a must have for Power Wheels toys, since it has a light on it to let you know when it is charged and ready to go.

The charger has been working very well. The lighted indicator and fast charging rate are my favorites. I definitely love this charger. Works very well on white and grey 12v batteries. Mine is a grey battery

Was looking for a new board game for family evenings and found it in Ticket to Ride. Rules are simple and straight forward and can be picked up as you go along. The kids (6,9,13) loved it, so did the adults. By having different tickets (missions) each game, the scope for each player changes every time, so this game will never get boring! We love it!

My husband and I have played and average of 3 games per night during the entire Olympics. . .becuase of our love for both, we have been really tired in the morning. Great fun, great stay-home-date-night, and easy to invite people along since you can play with up to 5. Enjoy

I was introduced to this game at Christmas by my husband's family. We played at least once a day (sometime more). It is the best board game ever! It makes you think, but not too hard. I'm not one of those people who likes to think a lot and strategize during a board game. I'd rather play for fun and socialization. This game is perfect because it allows for that strategizing that some people crave, but not to the extent where you have to constantly be thinking and are left unable to have "fun". Every game turns out different, so it never gets boring. I've played it with as few as 2 people and as many as 5 people, and it is a great game either way. My only criticism would be that the location of the cities in not quite geographically correct for all of them (example: Duluth, MN is in mid to southern MN on the board instead of Northern MN), but it gives you the general idea. I now have my own game, so my husband and I can play it together. I can't wait to get the Europe version just to add a little diversity.

Great game for the family or friends to play. I would recommend to any over the age of 13+ years. It keeps the friends coming back for more!!

This is a great game of strategy mixed with geography. Our family loves to play this game. Wonderful family fun.

This toy is ok for one to ride on, but didn't really work too well for walking with. The problem is it fell over when my son put too much weight while trying to walk, he tried to pull up using it a few times and it fell on him. As a result it was never really used for walking which was what I bought it for.

Provided just enough support to aid my child in taking her first steps. A little slick on hardwood floors for a child who still doesn't have enough control on their feet, but in little time they learn to get their feet moving to keep up with the walker. Takes a little getting used too, that's all, but I would certainly recommend it.

My godson loved this toy. He is just about to walk and took to it with enthusiasm. His older brother showed him what was possible and he was smiling. I look forward to see him maturing with the uses of the toy. Good job!

This toy was for a friend's son. It was great to see the look on his face when the boy sat on and rode it around the room. GREAT!

Our daughter was a very careful walker. This toy gave her confidence to walk around while still have a safety hold. It turns easily and its fast and easy to change it from a walker to a ride on toy. Ours is a little different color than this. It is pink & blue. We bought a couple of attractive wooden walkers but our daughter always preferred this one. I think it is because it was so easy for her to turn and move it and she really enjoyed all the extras like the spinning toy, and turn key.

I bought this laptop for my 2 year old son. He like pushing the buttons more than actually learning from it. I think it would be ideal for a 4-5 year old. I bought it thinking that he would play with it while I was working on my own laptop. Yeah, didn't work out like that cuz it does not look like mine! LOL Overall, a good toy but not for a toddler.

Definitely too old for the age group they say it is for. Nice computer and sturdy but will be a while before my granddaughter will be able to use it. I even had to look at the directions to see how to use it. Too many buttons to push before you get what you wanted.

I was very apprehensive in buying this laptop for my 2 year old son. Although it is too advanced for his age, there are a few fun activities for him. It would definitely benefit him educationally by the time he turns three. It is definitely worth the buy! I'm enjoying it myself!

This toy has been great. The kids love it and it is still working. What more can you ask for?

My girls love the noises and the best part is the mouse. It is very durable as my 2 year old likes to use it as a step stool and never breaks!

I purchased this for my 2yr old and with in 2 days of him riding the wheels have broken. The light cover on the back popped right off leaving the lights exposed (really not safe for a toddler). I would not recommend this product to, or for anyone I have to say you may as well just throw your money down the drain!

The riding motorcycle I recently purchased for my son's birthday is a piece of junk. It broke within an hour of my son riding it and has been dropping parts since. The description recommended it for ages 3 through 7 however, my two year old barely fits on it and he's only 30 pounds. I know you take a risk when you order things online sight unseen however, this was a MAJOR LEMON and a total waste of money. My son just got it yesterday and the front wheel and seat keep falling off.

I bought this motorcycle for my son's 3rd birthday, and I am pleased that the headlights (or anything else) weren't broken considering the unfortunate circumstances that I've read from others who have purchased this product. My impression is that this motorcycle will last for two-three years (or more if well maintained). I do however have some things that I want to note for people who maybe interested in purchasing this motorcycle: 1. It is definitely a scale down from what is shown. The motorcycle is made out of cheaper plastic, although it is still enjoyable to ride. 2. The motorcycle that we received is geared towards an Indian market with stickers and music that sounded Indian. Perhaps because the Western version was out of stock. 3. The seat lifts off easily, exposing the electrical wires. You might want to use heavy duty glue to secure the seat. 4. The bottom screw that connects the front wheel to the bike frequently falls out during play, making it easy to loose. Overall, my son loves it and his brother likes to ride on it as well. The music is a catchy tune. We all dance to it when we hear it. So far o.k!

I had brought this motorcycle for my 2 year old son for his birthday. I had let it charge up for hours. He wants to ride it so bad,but I can not let him ride on it at this time. Because we found out that the battery is DEAD. Now I have to search for a new battery. and I have an unhappy two year old son,that's really break my HEART. What every you do please do not order from the website. It's best to go to the story and buy it so that way you can return it if you do not like it or etc. UHAPPY CUSTOMER, D.M.H -SC

Our Grandson loved it, and it was worth the money because it had the rechargable battery and charger included, and worked well with little assembly. It was a bit more cheapy built than I was hoping - made in China best describes the engineering - and where it is actually made. It may last a year. We told our daughter not to worry about trashing it if it breaks down - we wouldn't expect it to last - but didn't know till we saw it. Good points - it has two buttons on the gas tank - one plays a little funky song which he loves to "dance" to while sitting on the cycle. The other is a sort of siren effect which could drive you crazy. There is a red footswitch to engage the motor, and a rocker switch for forward and reverse. This arrangement prevents the child from "walking it around" with finger on the motor switch - has to get on the cycle to make it run. Probably a good idea. Again - it comes with charger, and headlight, taillights, all in all pretty cool.
