Brilliant! but not durable My husband and I have been thrilled with this mat for the last four months... until this week. My mother-in-law's ring has made tons of tiny tears in the surface of the pad, which were invisible until she changed him after a big blowout (lovely, I know, but we are talking about a diaper changing pad here). You have to be VERY CAREFUL not to let your fingernails or jewlery (or baby's fingernails) snag the soft foam material. Once there's a little tear in the surface, diaper contents can soak into the pad, staining it and undoubtedly leaving it less than sanitary. If you're willing to use a lot of caution (as I have been) and warn everyone who changes your baby about this weakness (which I neglected to do), you'll probably love it. I know I have. But now, I'm a bit annoyed with it.
Great Toy! My 2 year old loves this toy. It keeps him entertained for a good amount of time. It is amazing to watch him learn how to put this together. First, he learned how to piece this in order. Now he is learning how to piece them in groups. I definitely recommend this toy to anyone.
A Great Twin Tool! This pillow is especially useful for older twins. My twins were born at 32 weeks and were too young to successfully nurse together until they were a few months old. I did use the pillow when the twins were younger so that one twin should be near me while the other twin nursed. (But I did not need the pillow for their younger months.) The pillow is nice and wide enough for both twins. I really like the ability to burp one twin on the pillow (they lay on their bellies as you burp them) while I nurse the other twin. Overall it is a great product - Probably not necessary but helpful.
Not Same Product as Pictured The item you are looking at in the white bottle with copper/butterscotch cap is no longer manufactured by Johnson & Johnson. Instead, it now comes as a clearer green bottle and slightly different formula. You can actually see the different wording on the bottle vs. the title of the product. I was looking for the product I saw in the PHOTO, because I couldn't find it anymore in stores, but instead got 8 bottles of the new formula which is not as nice as the previous formula. It is quality Johnson's product, but doesn't work like the previous. You might still find a few companies or stores with this particular photo product on the shelves, but beware the difference.
Simply the Best!!! Before purchasing this seat, I had to carefuly do a deep research on the subject. I am a 6'2" guy, so, a was really concerned about having the seat hitting my knees. My neighbor has another model, which does not work at all for me, not even for him. He has to keep his legs kind of open in order to be able to ride the bike... Terrible!
Furtunately, I decided to go with the most expensive model. Sometimes the cheap become expenseive, isn't it? well... I did the right decision, instead of spending $48 dollars, I spent $89.00 on this safe-T-seat, and I cannot be happier.
The seat mechanism is really simple. It's just a little T-bar that you will be in contact with the bike. The seat plugs itself on this bar. The seat keeps in a perfect position. Even my long legs do not touch it when riding. I can ride my bike just like I was riding before the new passenger.
It took me less than 5 minutes to install the T-bar on my bike.
My daughter stays in a very comfortable position. By the way, she loved the new activity, and keeps asking me all the time for "MORE" when she sees the bike.
Well, if you want to have pleasure time and no headaches while in your bike, this is the seat you need to purchase.
CONS: The only thing I didn't like much about this product is that it only support kids up to 32 pouds. Well, nothing in the world is totally perfect! So there is no time to lose, I will ride my bike with my daughter as much as I can before she reachs her 38 pouds. :)
Hope you enjoy my review.

Hi everyone... here I am again (Jan-08-2009) to give you an additional feedback about this product.
My daughter is now 42 pounds (4 years old), and 110cm tall - I am still riding the bike with her. Her legs now touch the bottom of the seat, giving her more support. Her heigth still does not bother me.
Since she is now havier than the suggested weight, I will no longer take her on the seat, I am thinking about one of those semi-bikes that we attach on the back. The good news is that my wife is pregnant, and my Safe-T seat is still like new after 3000 miles - I am positive I will soon enough use it with the new baby that is about to arrive.
Thank you all for the POSITIVE VOTES on this review.
