Boring and annoying This toy is an over-priced flop. The water canon is really hard to pump, the boat floats poorly and the little boat never floats right with the pirate in it - causing much frustration for my 2 year old. It's also one of those toys where all of the components fill with water, never dry out between baths and therefore can grow gross stuff inside. Spend your money more wisely...
Really convenient box It's great getting such a huge supply at my door. Not a drastic savings when compared to purchasing at Target but convenient none the less. These wipes are great because my daughter has very sensitive skin and they are the only wipes that I have found that don't make her bum welt or break out in a rash.
comfy these are very comfy but only thing is the edges tend to curl up if you throw them in the dryer by accident. i need to get an iron sometime and then i can flatten them out. but they are great for bigger breasted women, because they cover a larger portion of your breast.
Pros and Cons I have had this pump for about a week and used it 9 or 10 times for 20 minutes each time. I got it b/c my milk supply has been dwindling with a single pump and I need to increase it (supposedly double-pumping is better for emptying out both breasts and increasing supply, no matter how long you pump with a single).
The pump has its pros and cons. For me, it worked fine. I have not had a problem with milk backing up (some other users suggested that it needs to be dry; since I always wash it right after using, it's dry again by the next time I use it). It doesn't hurt any more or less than my Avent IQ Uno single electric pump. I get just as much or more milk in less time than with the Avent (due to pumping both breasts at once). I agree with other users that the side without the motor is a bit weaker, but I just switch sides after 10 minutes and it's no big deal.
On the other hand, it is LOUD! I was hoping to take it to work, but I don't want everyone in the office to hear it. (I pump in a conference room with a real door, but you would still be able to hear it!) So I just use it at home on my lunch break and before I go to bed (we use the closed captions on the TV so we can still watch TV while I pump). There are a lot of small parts, and it's hard to wash inside the narrow passages of the funnel section. I always wash it immediately, because if milk dried in there, it would be hard to ever get it out...and I can't wipe it out with my sanitizing wipes (another reason I don't use it at work). And it is more of a pain to assemble than the Avent.
Since I only plan on pumping for a few more months (my baby is 8 1/2 months old), it wouldn't be worth it to pay $300 for a Pump-in-Style or whatever. This isn't the greatest, mainly due to the noise (and I can't be sure about its longevity yet), but if it lasts for its warranty period, it will have done the job I bought it for!
Must-have toddler toy With no blinking lights, bells or whistles, this simple toy will captivate a toddler's inherent fascination with "in" and "out," and will offer him or her a true learning experience with properties of shapes, height, and color. This is a quiet toy that develops concentration and focus, as well as fine motor and sorting skills. My son really took interest in it around 20 months. The substantial size and outstanding quality of this HABA toy make it worth the price.
