The colors were just what I was hoping for. I am not too fond of too much pink for girls, and was wanting more lively pastel colors. This matched my scheme perfectly and the mobile I bought to go with it completes my baby's nursery, and it is stunning!
I was looking for a non expensive dresser to match our daughter's crib. Well I found it. It was delivered in good time and I was able to put this dresser together within 3 hours by myself (between feeding the baby). The directions were straight forward and easy to follow. And I have to say its a pretty good looking dresser, it doesn't look cheap at all. Very sturdy and nice cherry coloring. It has ample room for my daughter's stuff - definitely worth every penny. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is b/c one of the (minor)pieces had a small scratch - but I could live with that.
I ordered this set mainly for the portacrib bumper, since I couldn't find any I liked sold separately. The blanket is a little thinner than I expected, but the bumper is perfect. It's super-soft, nice and padded, and very cute. It is a little too long for our COSCO travel crib, but I just overlapped it a bit and it's fine.
I bought this blanket when my son was 10 months old. I was having an extremely difficult time getting him to sleep. He was borderline colic and just cried non stop for hours. I found that no matter how tight I tried to swaddle him using other things it just didn't work and he would manage to get himself out. The very first time I used the blanket my son slept 11 hours and I finally got control of our lives. I truly couldn't have made it without it. We used it until he was almost 5 months old and he then transitioned nicely out of it. He's a great sleeper now and I think that becuase I was able to get something that worked early on it help instill good sleeping habits for life. I liked it so much that I just bought one for my sister who is having a baby in a couple of months.
I wish this was the sheet that came in the bedding set! So much nicer than the plain white one.
It works well but I wish there was some padding on the bars that came with it that it hooks to. I didn't know I would have to replace my padded bar(with the nice zipper).The new blue and green color does not match my 2 year old model but looks o.k.
We love this mobile! I have it hanging on a long cord above my baby's changing table so that it's about 2-3 feet above her reach. SInce she was 2 months old she has been enthralled with watching it. The characters are cute and the movement is superb! The two arms can rotate in opposite directions while also going up and down. A quick spin from me is all it needs to get her watching. Now that our daughter is 4 1/2 months old she is very facinated with the aspects of the movement. Whenever we pick her up she wants to be held so she can view it at eye level and reach out and touch the mobile. I think it is helped her develop very good hand - eye coordination. SHe can reach for it while moving and immediately grasp what she is reaching for. The strings do seem too fragile for her to pull on it though. I highly recommend it.

We are proud to say that they have set the standard not only for comfort, but safety in every nursery.
We have owned many other building sets, from classic cardboard bricks (Melissa & Doug 24 Pc Basic Cardboard Blocks) to funky new designs (Dado Building Cubes). But none can compare to the Wedgits.
Colorful and sturdy, Wedgits can be used by young children as well as adults (guilty!). Comes with good instructions showing many possible builds, but the pieces can also be used creatively. This toy is a classic example of the best of both worlds: FUN & EDUCATIONAL.
As we have only the 15-piece Starter Set--and with two kids both wanting to use certain pieces--I may invest in a larger collection (for example, WEDGiTS Deluxe Set - 30 Piece Set), as all Wedgits are compatible. Just one hint: keep the box these come in for storage because Wedgits, for all their benefits, do NOT feel good to step on!
