.BT Digital Baby Monitor 100
City Travel Guides > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: BT

October 31, 2007
We bought this baby monitor after being guided by the other reviews on Amazon. I'm pleased to report that we've been equally impressed!

I won't go into tons of detail - other than to say it does everything that you would need for a newborn, plus more. Don't worry about the more expensive 150 model - the extra gadgets are overkill. The 100 does everything you need, plus a few extra bits that you might never use (the tunes it plays are a nice touch - but never used in our house).

And, we live right under the Heathrow flight path and never had a single bit of interference!

Spend your money with confidence.

.Lamaze - Freddie The Firefly
City Travel Guides > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy for my son when he was born as he is a baby that is always awake so needs lots of stimulation. This has been one of the best buys as he loves the squeaker and the colours meant he could see it when he was a few weeks old. It also rattles and he is now able to get hold of the rings at the bottom to chew. I actually put this toy in the washing machine when it fell out of the car and it was fine - the squeaker still works. A must have for those with active babies.

.Grobag Egg
City Travel Guides > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Grobag® Egg


I bought this product to provide me with peace of mind regarding the temperature of my baby's room. But, as the other reviews indicate, the egg consistently gives a temperature 2 or 3 degrees higher than other thermometers. This is frustrating and disappointing. It does look pretty though and makes a good little night light - but no good for peace of mind when looking at temperature!

.Lamaze - Balancing Bug Stacker
City Travel Guides > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy as i was looking for something a bit different from the whoozit type soft toys for my 8 month old. It has not disappointed. The 6 bugs are all brightly coloured with various legs, wings etc for little ones to grab hold of. They each contain a magnet which not only enables them to stick together in a totem pole effect but also produces a not too loud rattle in each one. They are neither too heavy nor too big for the littlest hands to pick up and they will love knocking down the towers that you have carefully constructed as well as banging pairs together and ultimately building their own towers, naming the bugs, learning colours etc. My only, very small criticism is that i assume one of the bugs to be a spider but it only has ...

.My First Ready Bed - Thomas & Friends
City Travel Guides > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Worlds Apart


I ordered the ready bed for my son who is 2 1/2 to use while we are staying at the grandparents as he loves Thomas.
We had great fun blowing it up and it looked lovely. The problems came once he got in it as we found he was already too big for it!
We both were very dissapointed it was not bigger as the decription said up to 4 years old. Having said that he is pretty much the same size as his 4 year old cousin but I always thought he was a bit small.
I have now got the junior size ready bed and that looks like it should last him a while.
The Thomas bed is great if you have small kids but if yours are bigger than average go for the Junior Ready Beds.

.Fisher-Price Sounds & Lights Monitor Restage
City Travel Guides > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Fisher Price


We were a bit shocked at the prices of baby monitors in the UK after having moved here recently from the US, and so went with the cheapest item available, this one. Its £20 wasted. It works, but barely.

There's a large amount of static, and nothing helps. It has huge antennae on the transmitter and receiver, you would think this would help with reception. This just reminds me of AM radios from my childhood.

The receiver has a power adapter, but no, it doesn't charge batteries. Its just to power the receiver if you don't have batteries. I am sure they saved a few pennies there.

Lastly the build quality is cheap, gaudy and plasticky. Definitely a bargain basement item.

.Tomy : Winnie The Pooh Moonlight Dreamshow
City Travel Guides > Toys > Nursery Equipment
from: Tomy


It sounds great on paper - soothes your baby to sleep and should they awaken during the night, it is sound-activated and should soothe them back to sleep. But as the other reviewers have said, this was far too loud and the slightest noise reactivated it - it woke the baby up and us in the next room! Aside from this the projected image is unclear (had no idea what it was meant to be) Looking at the box gives you the false impression that all sorts of wonderful images are projected round the room...

Do yourselves a favour and buy the Tomy Starlight Dreamshow, we've been using it 6 months now and it still brings a smile to our babies face when we switch it on for bedtime.

I don't understand how Tomy got it so wrong with this ... Read More:
