Playskool Cushy Catch Glove and Ball Set



User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars It’s OK
For the price it’s OK. My son loves the ball but the mitt does not really stay on his hand and silly me I thought it was made with velcro but it’s not and the ball does not stay in the glove.

2 Stars Looks better online than “for real”
We weren’t very impressed by this product. Fortunately, we purchased it on a good Holiday deal. I would have returned it *for sure* if we had paid full price. Honestly, if I had seen this product in the store for the Holiday deal, I probably wouldn’t have bought it. It looks pretty cheap…

4 Stars Playskool cushy baseball glove
Great for my 4 yr old grandson. Not quite a first “leather” glove, so it lets them learn to catch with a softer glove. Also works for both left and right handers.

2 Stars Not worth it
My son like every other boy loves to throw a ball around. I bought this because he is still too young to figure out if he is right or left handed and this would work either way. Well, it sucks…The threading ripped almost immediately and uniike what the product describes it doesn’t help him learn to catch in anyway. No pocket or whatever to provide support and encouragement in the glove!

4 Stars Want to introduce your little one to the world of baseball then buy this toy!
I purchased this toy for my 2 year old son so he could have a mitt of his own to take to baseball games. I originally thought that the ball would have velcro on it so he could hold on to the ball when it was thrown to him. There was no velcro on it & it is hard for him to catch the ball. HOWEVER, he absolutely LOVES the ball & mitt separately. The ball is light enough that he can throw it pretty far and will not hurt anyone if they get hit by it. The only thing I do not like about the ball is that it is soft enough that he can bite pieces off it if he wanted to. I am sure it would be better suited for a slightly older child.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Product
I set this up by myself in about ten minutes, it was very easy. Good quality parts. Very happy with purchase.

2 Stars No Assembly Instructions
This item came in a generic box which was the shipping box. It was difficult to confirm if this was the exact thing (model?) that I ordered on Amazon. No assembly instruction came with the item so it was difficult to know if all the parts needed were in there, and of course it made it challenging to set-up. It crossed my mind if Amazon had sent me a used product????

Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to package it back up into the shipping box to send it back to Amazon. I’m also too busy to take a trip to the Post Office. To begin with, I was too busy to go to the retail stores in my local area to buy a badminton set locally; hence, the Amazon order.

If you decide to buy this item, good luck. Be prepared to be disappointed.

4 Stars Good Solid Badminton Pro Set
This is a solid buy. Can’t go wrong. Set is easy to assemble, raquets have performed quite satisfactory. Structure is solid and of decent quality. A good value for the money. Everything fits in the bag and easy to carry around and to store. I def recommend it.

4 Stars Great Set for everything but the rackets and shuttlecocks
Nice set. Easy to setup and nets and poles and borders are great quality. I have my own racket and use feather birdies so i really didnt care that it came with cheap rackets and birds but everything else was top quality. I play weekly and have had no problems with this set. It would have been nice it they just offered it without the cheap rackets and birdies and charged a lower price.

4 Stars Excellent Net & Poles; Racquets are mediocre
Easy set up. Poles and net are sturdy and likely to last. The racquets *seem* flimsy but we haven’t had any problems. Looking forward to summer evenings of family badminton.

RipStik Caster Board Pink

April 1st, 2010

RipStik Caster Board Pink




Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the RazorX Ripstik caster board is the perfect ride for kids looking for the next big thrill. The board is distinguished by its pivoting deck and 360-degree inclined caster trucks, which offer a snowboard-like carving ability. A simple weight transfer lets you turn or accelerate without pushing, just like when you’re carving down the slopes

5 Stars Great Product

5 Stars Grandaughters Rip Stick
My oldest granddaughter, Cara, loves her Rip Stick…she has some good moves….good construction on this products. Has held up well

5 Stars Great!
I bought this for my 12 year old son, and he loves it! He learned how to use it very quickly and uses it a lot. Two of his friends also have them and they’re out on the Ripstiks constantly! It seems very durable and well contructed. I’d like to try it myself, but I’m afraid I’ll break something!!

5 Stars Ripstick Review
We ordered our Ripstick at Amazon.com because we wanted to choose a color that wasn’t found in stores. It also happened to be a better price than local stores. We recieved our ripstick and my daughter got on it immediately, she was on it for about 2 hours and only had it for 2 days when the rear wheel crumbled apart. I called Amazon right up and they explained there must have been an air bubble or some kind of defect in the wheel. We have a new set of wheels sent out to us right away, free of charge of course! I was very pleased with the ease in ordering this item online

Designed and tested by Team Razor pro riders with durability and performance in mind, the Razor Pro Model scooter is a step above most other kick scooters. The Pro Model sports such features as full-deck grip tape designed by Team Razor pro rider Ricky Wernicke, a double-stacked head clamp for extra head-tube strength, extra-thick foam grips for additional palm protection, and a folding mechanism welded to the deck for maximum durability.

Best of all, the scooter folds up into a compact package, so it’s a breeze to carry on the bus or fit in a closet. The Pro Model, which is made of aircraft-grade aluminum, accommodates up to 220 pounds and is backed by a six-month warranty.

Key Features:

  • Aircraft-grade aluminum construction

    5 Stars Razor Pro review
    I purchased two Razor Pro scooters which my daughter and I used at the WBK in May 2009 at the Miller Motorsports Park. Not only did they work really well, but many people asked where we rented the scooter, or what a great idea, or you looked so cool on the scooter.

    The surface must be smooth as there is no cushion in the tires so even a small piece of gravel can transmit a harsh vibration thru the bars, so one must look carefully for ruts, patches and generally un-smooth surfaces. Still they are great for getting around while still getting some exercise.

    5 Stars A great scooter for a dad trying to keep up with his son :-)
    My son got a three-wheeled scooter from his grandmother last Christmas, which he loved. Unfortunately, it met an untimely demise when my wife accidentally backed her car over it. So we got him a Razor A kick scooter, and he’s taken it like fish to water. He LOVES it.

    Now, a direct result of all this is that he wants to go scooter-riding all the time! As he’s only four-and-a-half, he can’t go by himself. So one of goes with him, and as you might surmise, it’s a challenge to keep up with him scooting along, on feet. The solution, obviously, was to get ourselves a scooter to keep up with him. After some search, I chose the Razor Pro model, based on the weight allowance (the scooter supports up to 220lb.) and the price.

    So far I’m really enjoying the scooter. Not only can I keep up with our son, but it’s turning out to be quite convenient around the neighborhood, too. I don’t have any other scooter experiences, so I can’t compare it to anything else, but it’s built well and is easy and stable to ride. After a few short rides down the street, I’m feeling more comfortable with it and feel like I get good exercise out of it, too. I do find myself having to alternate the kicking leg, but that probably has more to do with my out-of-shape-ness than anything else. ;-)

    No complaints, really. It seems very well built, feels solid and rugged while I’m riding it, and collapses and folds easily for transportation. The rear wheel/fender brake works well, although for the speeds we go at, it’s easier-at least for me–to hop off the scooter and stop that way.

    Highly recommended!

    5 Stars I love it
    I don’t drive, so I commute on this scooter to places I have to be , and It’s so much fun.

    I just love it a lot. I never done it before, but it’s pretty easy to ride on it.

    5 Stars beats all
    This is deffinetly the best product razor has ever produced and probably exceeds their name, after what I thought of them breaking all their scooters. This scooter has the best value by FAR compared to other scooters and is without a doubt the best complete you can buy not to mention the price. Right after stepping on it you can notice the extended frame and taller handlebars which is ideal for tall riders. Not to mention the extended frame helps you with countless tricks, it helped me the most with barspin 180’s. I bought this scooter for the frame only hoping it would suit my needs but it turns out the whole scooter is extremely durable.

    5 Stars Razor Scooter Pro Model
    The Pro Model Razor has performed excellent. It is much sturdier than the lesser models. I highly recommend to purchase the pro model when purchasing this product. It is slightly more expensive but is worth the extra cost.

    Fluxx 4 0

    April 1st, 2010

    Fluxx 4 0




    The card game with ever changing rules! It starts out simple, with just the Basic Rule card: draw one card and play one card during each player’s turn. But New Rule cards quickly make things chaotic. Even the object of the game will often change as you play, as players swap out one Goal card for another. Can you get the Rocket to the Moon before someone changes the goal to Death by Chocolate?

    User Ratings and Reviews

    5 Stars Great game!
    This is a great game that is different each time you play. It’s even fun with only two people playing, but more is better. I highly recommend it!

    5 Stars Great Fun!
    First, I don’t have children. My husband and I wanted to play something fun at home, or have something to take to a family get together. Sometimes it’s hard to find clever games for just 2 (or more) people. But this definitely takes the cake.

    It’s pretty easy to learn. It was easier for me because he played it at work. Basically, read the rules, then just play a few hands to get used to it. The rules are written on each card and it keeps changing as you play the game. A game can last just a few minutes to about a half hour from what I can tell.

    We got version 4.0 and the Zombie Fluxx. They play about the same and I like them both. You can even combine them, or take a few cards from one and mix them with the original deck. The backs are all the same so that they blend together.

    The Original Fluxx won an award from Mensa in 1997 and I can see why. We played for a couple of hours and laughed and had a great time. You have to think and keep up with the cards that are in play, but it’s all on the table in front of you so it’s not hard.

    You’ll use your mind, use some strategy and have a lot of fun all at once. There’s even a family Fluxx which I think is a bit easier for younger kids.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this game for just about anyone. I have already decided to buy a few more decks and give them as gifts.
