Munchkin 10 Oz. Re-usable Twist Tight Spill-Proof Cups - 4 Pack - BPA Free Top Quality

0 comments

We bought these cups because they were labeled as "spill-proof". While the lids stay on when they are turned upside down or dropped, they will leak all over. These cups are useless for toddlers when indoors. They are better suited for outdoor use where spills are not as much of a concern. The Munchkin twist top cups with the separate valves work much better.Get more detail about Munchkin 10 Oz. Re-usable Twist Tight Spill-Proof Cups - 4 Pack - BPA Free.

This is a great product. It's durable and really sticks. You can use it outside of the bath also. In addition to sorting them on the bathroom wall, we have fun in the pool with numbers, and I taught my daughter how to spell her name with the letters during playtime.Get more detail about Munchkin Foam Bath Toys - Numbers/Letters.

Munchkin Bottle Cooler Bag

0 comments

I had one of these bags 4 years ago when my oldest was a baby and I loved it! I was able to use it as a diaper bag, it fits 2-3 diapers and a small pack of wipes, and you can throw a burpcloth and bib in there too. The inside works great as far as insulating, and the newer version holds more bottles with the addition of a zippered extension. But the top is what I couldn't stand on the new version, the old one just zipped closed, this one has a velcro tab and two zippers. Also, there was some funky staining on the inside. Its hard to explain, it looks like black smudges/scrapes. I'm giving it 3 stars because it does do what it says it does, but I don't like the new design. They should have stuck with the same design that made this bag a winner in the first place.Buy Munchkin Bottle Cooler Bag!

Tub Toy Organizer

0 comments

This is a really cute turtle but the cheap suction cups and poor design have this thing on the bath tub floor in minutes. I tried putting just a couple of toys in it and still the only suction cup that would hold was by it's head.
The top pockets are almost impossible to stick toys into as well because the opening is so small and on the rare occasion the turtle is sticking to the wall it's really hard to get your hand in. We got rid of this within a week or two.Buy Tub Toy Organizer!

Munchkins: Bath Super Scooper

0 comments

When I bought this product I thought it was adorable. It is brightly colored and is a neat idea. However after about 2 months, maybe not even that, it just fell off my bathtub. One adhesive tape was still stuck to the product and the other was still stuck to my tub. I called Munchkin's customer service and she gave me two options. Either I would have to go to a hardware store and buy more adhesive tape at my expense to repair it. Or return the product at my expense and they would replace it. She said it was a new product this year and that she didn't know much about it. That is lousy if you ask me. Hope you have more luck with yours. Looking back I wish I had spent the extra money to get the Boon Frog Scoop.Buy Munchkins: Bath Super Scooper!

SpongeBob SquarePants Grip 'n Sip Juice Box Carrier

0 comments

At some point, kids realize to not squeeze the life out of their juiceboxes and spray the contents all over your house (and friends' houses, and stores...). Until then, this thing is exactly what every parent should have. It fills that gap from when they first start using straws until they "get it", which is a few years in my experience. Cheap, easy to clean, durable, and prevents lots of spills.Buy SpongeBob SquarePants Grip 'n Sip Juice Box Carrier!

Munchkin - White Hot Super Safety Bath Duck - Princess

0 comments

This is more of a toy than a safety measure in my house. It doesn't seem reliable or trustworthy. It worked the first couple of times I used it but the letters "H O T" soon lost their sensitivity to heat and ever since then we have kept it strictly as a bath toy.
My daughter has always loved to look at this floating in the bath with her and now that she can grasp items she wants, she loves to play with it, too.Buy Munchkin - White Hot Super Safety Bath Duck - Princess!

Munchkin Dora Pacifier 0-6 Months

0 comments

My 1 month old has a NUK pacifier but she tends to pop it out while sucking it, which cause me to have to put it back in her mouth seems like every second. When I received these pacifiers i was a little scared that since the pacifier is longer than any one she had that it might go down her throat and be a checking hazard. But i was wrong, she loves it and it actually stays in her mouth when she don't want it in her mouth it falls out easily which i like. And the bright colors makes it easier for me to find it when it falls out her mouth God knows where.Buy Munchkin Dora Pacifier 0-6 Months!

The Medicator Infant Liquid Medicine Dispenser

0 comments

I have blown through 4 of these items in the first 3 months of my sons life. The product is beyond amazing when it works, but the Medicator won't work when the product is not properly closed and the tabs that hold the medicine cup to the pacifier up are very fragile. We have snapped the tabs off all 4 of the units we have had.

It is still better than all the similar products on the market and would be 5* if they could reinforce the tabs that hold the cup to the pacifier top.Buy The Medicator Infant Liquid Medicine Dispenser!

Munchkin Sesame Street Soft Safety Harness

0 comments

Elmo is very soft, cuddly for the child. My daughter treats him more like a baby than sees him as a harness. The harness itself is very durable, easy to put on, and the straps are large enough that it doesn't rub uncomfortably against their shoulders or back. The middle strap has velcro, but is such a thick piece of velcro that I can't see anyone pulling it off easily.

The pocket has a zipper, which is a negative, velcro would have been MUCH better. Also, the inside cloth lining sort of comes inside out (Elmo is very plush) which can get caught in the zipper. The pocket is SO small that I can't see putting anything in it (anything you could fit in it would probably be a choking hazard to your child, so why you would put it in there anyway I have no clue. Maybe a pacifier for those who are still hooked to their pacifiers, or pennies for older toddlers...)

Otherwise it's a GREAT safety harness. Unlike the ones that have the toy or bag on the back of the child (where they can't play with it, look at it, or cuddle it) this one has Elmo in front where she can give him kisses on the head, and show him off to people.

BLING Knob Pacifier & Clip (0-6 mo.)

0 comments

I ordered this item for my soon to be little man and I was actually shipped the girl version instead of the boy. I had already paid shipping and didn't want to again for my item to be shipped back and then reshipping for the new one so I kept the girl version (for future girls to come) and had the boy one sent to me - again. Although my problem was resolved I was dissappointed that I had received the girl one to begin with since the boy version was the one shown in the picture. So when you order this item, make sure to tell the vendor which version you prefer.Buy BLING Knob Pacifier & Clip (0-6 mo.)!

Another reviewer of this product called it the Sputnik. She's right, it looks just like an old Russian Sputnik satellite. It took forever to ship but it arrived yesterday and oh how our son loves it! He spent the entire bus rid this morning twisting and gnawing on all its different nubbs. So much fun. Has the added bonus of being a quiet percussion instrument like one of those shaker eggs you got to play with in music class when you were little.Buy Twisty Teether Ball - Pink and yellow!

Bath Letters and Numbers

0 comments

My son loves these little letters and numbers. He especially loves to chew on them. I like that I can spell his name and stick it on the bathroom wall. He enjoys pulling them down and dropping them into the bath. They seem durable so far. Many of them have teeth marks in them though. They come in an assortment of pretty colors and as far as I know will stick to any surface when wet. I can see us using these to identify letters and numbers down the road. For now they are the perfect chew toy for the bath!Buy Bath Letters and Numbers!

Travelware Re-usable Spoons - 24 pk

0 comments

These are the best baby spoons I have come across. I received a small pack of them for a baby shower and they are better than the nice stainless spoons I got. They hold a bigger bite than the classic plastic covered spoon and the shape allows the baby to get all the food off the spoon. They are tossable, but I cannot toss them. They are too great to do that to. This pack has 24 for $3.95. A steal. I am tempted to by several to put up and give as gifts. These are a must have for meal time!

P.S. At first I was hesitant to use these spoons because I wanted my son to have the best of the best - the expensive engraved spoons. Then my babysitter kept using them and raved about them. So I finally tried them and to my surprise, they were the best of the best. Buy Travelware Re-usable Spoons - 24 pk!

Munchkin Two White Hot Safety Sunblock Shade-Black

0 comments

These are great temporary solution, just be sure to take them down and stow under the seat to avoid warping the top roller housing.

Pro:
+These shade work well, provides shade from the sun as advertised.
+Easy to retract, it is a huge button on the end - just detach the lower end from the window and then press button.

Con:
-Roller Housing is bulky and it restricts placement when windows have a curve or placing near the edges of some window. Placement can also be hard when trying to cover the edges and smaller window section on rear doors.
-When left on the window the plastic at the top will warp in the heat of a parked car with the windows closed, twisting preventing retracting the shade for storage. When it warps the plastic housing acutaully contorts and the suction cups are no longer in a stright line.
-Suction cups discolor (turn yellow)when left on the window.
-"Hot" indicator will "burn out" when left on the window in a parked car and stay white even when placed in the freezer.
(just checked to be sure)

Improvements Needed:

Sassy Happy Hippo Bath Shower Spray

0 comments

This product is not good as it does not fit properly. I am using it on a Jacuzzi tap which is a regular tap for bath tub. The gasket keeps getting loose and comes out. It works but the water leaks from sides even with really low pressure and if you move it more it comes out. They should have provided better gaskets i still use it but more or less my kid uses it as toy. I suggest do not buy it. Buy Sassy Happy Hippo Bath Shower Spray!

Munchkin Standard Nipples 2-pk.

0 comments

I was asked to rate this nipple as a toy. As a nipple, I give it a solid 4/5 stars. All babies get comfortable with a certain type of nipple. My son loved this when we used it after switching to a bottle and would not take anything else. However, if you are wanting this for its ability to change flow rates, don't bother. I did not appreciate a difference with the different settings. Still, my son will not take anything else (and it seems as though we tried them all!).Buy Munchkin Standard Nipples 2-pk.!

Munchkin Deluxe Bottle And Food Warmer With Pacifier Cleaning Basket

0 comments

I really liked this warmer. I was given one when my first daughter was born. As some of the reviews state, it may take a little practise to get used to how much water to put in, but that doesn't take much to master. The only recommendation that I have is that if you use the Dr. Brown's bottles with the tubes in them, take the tubes out before putting the bottle in the warmer, or you'll end up with the milk leaking into the warmer.Buy Munchkin Deluxe Bottle And Food Warmer With Pacifier Cleaning Basket!

I bought this for my newborn daughter who is tiny and petite. I put it on and I couldn't get even her legs in it. Its not that well made nor is it soft.

Munchkin Diaper Change Organizer

I purchased this diaper organizer to hang on my Delta Luv changing table, because there was no storage space on top. I had high hopes for it--Munchkin products are usually high in quality. However, the cloth on this organizer sags. When I tried to fill it with my wipes box, baby powder, and lotion--as shown in the picture--the pockets tipped forward and everything fell out. I wouldn't want a toddler getting near this organizer! A much safer option is the plastic "Diaper Depot" by Prince Lionheart.Buy Munchkin Diaper Change Organizer!

Munchkin Diego 9 oz Big Kid Cup 2-Pack

0 comments

These sippy cuos are of a few that actually are No-Spill. The only thing is that you have to make sure that the no-spill valve is secure in the lid, because if that comes out then they do leak. I've had a bunch of these cups (Dora, Spongebob, Diego, Backyardigans) and they all have worn very well, the non-spill valves still stay in the lid and the designs are still in good condition. They are also insulated and definitely do keep their drinks either warm or cold longer than a normal cup. Buy Munchkin Diego 9 oz Big Kid Cup 2-Pack!

Go, Diego Go! 10oz. Insulated Straw Cup

0 comments

The Munchkin straw sippy cup is easy to clean and fast to re-assemble (as the other reviewer said, it's easy to reassemble if you pop off the straw cover per the included instructions). Some of the Munchkin cups leak around the lid where it screws on if the cup is tipped. I've also seen occasional leaks around the straw.

I also have the Nuby No-Spill Flip-it Straw Sippy Cup. Nuby's website says they are BPA free. The Nuby cup does not leak. However, no re-assembly instructions or tools are included, and you need a tool to reassemble it - something flat and small, to guide the large end of the silicone straw through the flip-it lid. It takes time and patience even when you know how to do it.

Both brands can splatter liquid drops from the straw when the lid is closed & opened. No cup is absolutely leak free. Also, I find that the soft silicone straws with built-in valves wear out quickly and you need frequent replacement straws to really reduce the chance of leaks.

I like the Munchkins for all-around use because they are so much easier to reassemble, but if I need to minimize the chance of leaks then I use the Nuby Flip-it. If your kids are old enough to understand not to tip over a straw cup, you'll save a lot of money on replacement straws if you use cups that have regular straight straws.

By the way, the Dr Brown's natural flow cleaning brushes are great for cleaning straws! However, Munchkin's customer support says not to use a brush through the valve because it can damage the valve. They said to soak in hot water and vinegar after washing to kill bacteria.

NOTE: You must "activate" the valve on the Munchkin cup before using it for the first time or it might be nearly impossible to suck anything through the straw. The instructions are not clear on the best way to do this. Here is what Munchkin customer support told me to do: hold the soft straw under hot soapy water for a couple of minutes while pinching the valve firmly.
I recommend testing it afterwards to make sure you can suck a drink through the straw.Buy Go, Diego Go! 10oz. Insulated Straw Cup!
