User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Decent
Overall a good helmet. There is a plastic piece in the back where the straps mount; it sticks out slightly causing discomfort to the back of your head.

5 Stars Very Good Helmet; Great Value
This helmet is well-designed. It’s as cool as a helmet can be (I wear one only for safety, not as a fashion statement) and the dial adjuster is excellent. It fits snugly and comfortably. The visor is a plus. I wish Amazon’s Super Saver shipping was faster. I know they can expedite the order for the same cost.

5 Stars Sizes Small to Large
You won’t need to worry about this helmet fitting you unless you have an exceptionally large head. Fitting anyone with 54cm to 61cm That would be small to Large. Helmet fits snug without binding and is comfortable, airy and light. AAA rating in my book.

5 Stars Saved my head
Excellent helmet…comfortable, easily adjustable, and most importantly it save my head in a crash. Not even a headache! I’ll be replacing my broken helmet with a new Giro Indicator.

5 Stars Nice Helmet… Useful, good fit and good looks…
A nice helmet that I use to commute around town… very useful with excellent looks and fit for its price…

Adult assembly required. Requires 4 “D” batteries (not included).

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great for the baseball enthusiast!

There is some small assembly when you get this toy, but it’s super easy, and takes five minutes. It works fantastic. I even had fun hitting the balls in my house. My son is 3 y.o and likes hitting the ball from the t-stand. The balls so far have not gotten stuck. I do wish it came with more balls, b/c you spend so much time chasing them. Overall, does what it promises, no problems, and I would recommend this toy.

4 Stars just as described!!!
This is a great product. My 4 year old son and his 2 year old sister have already played with the batter a lot!!! It definitely helps with skill set for my 4 year old and I think it will do so for some time to come. The only suggestion I would have is 3 balls are not enough….contact Fisher Price for more!!!

2 Stars Doesn’t hold up to 3 year old play….
My three old grandson played with this using the middle level of pitching balls for about 10 minutes when the batteries had to be replaced! I was very disappointed in it’s quality.

4 Stars cscarter
This toy is great fun for my 2 year old grandson and 6 year old granddaughter. My order was shipped promptly and received in less than a week. Thanks!!!

4 Stars a great way to learn to hit a baseball
I bought this toy for my grandson’s 4th birthday. He loves baseball and really enjoys this toy. He likes to have the ball pop up rather than use the toy as a tee, but he does sometimes use the tee. After he hits the ball, he runs around the yard, then picks up the ball and starts over again. I think this is a wonderful toy to help train a child to hit a ball. It saves the parent from having to stand their and keep throwing the ball to the child. I definitely recommend this toy for any child (boy or girl) who loves to play baseball!

5 Stars Fits nicely in my living room
Love it. Fits in my livingroom but still keeps my 18 mth old busy.

4 Stars Great climbing toy
I purchased this toy for my grandson (age 19 mos.) He spends quite a bit of time playing on and around this toy, also using the balls that came with it. Very definitely worth the price.

4 Stars Great Outdoors or Indoors
This poduct was used for my own children as well as daycare children. It is easy to put together and the children love it!!

4 Stars best indoor active play toy
I got this slide for my daughter when she was 16 months old. We needed a toy for her to climb — so instead of saying, “Don’t climb this!” we could say, “Go climb that!” We were also facing a winter in the Northeast when playground play might not always been possible.

This toy is great for physically active children. My daughter uses it every day (a claim I can make for only a few toys). She particularly loves slide (of course) and the basketball hoop.

I don’t love that the basketball is not to scale with the soccer ball and the football, and I don’t love that there is a hole on top, ostensibly for throwing the football through, but it is irresistible to toddlers as something to throw themselves through! Not withstanding such a head bonk, we are very pleased with this toy.

I am optimistic that she will be able to use this for several years to come (my guess is that it would work for an average-sized 4 year old) and that it will lend itself to pretend play as well. There is a hole to climb through so that the child is under the slide. It is supposed to be used as a soccer goal, but I think it would make a nice entrance to a fort.

I will also note that assembly required brute force and liquid dish detergent as lubrication.

4 Stars Endless enjoyment
Even though this toy is slated for 18 month and older, we bought this for my daughter when she turned a year thinking she would enjoy us putting her on the slide. Plus, she would grown into it. My daughter’s response to the climber was not what we imagined. She was immediately challenged by it and within two weeks of our setting it up our 13 month old was capable of going up the climbing wall and down the slide independently. She LOVES it!!!!!! She also enjoys playing with the balls and has most recently has begun putting the basketball into the hoop. The climbers size allows you to easily move it from place to place. We have had it both in and out of doors. For the money, I am pleased. My only complaint was that it was not the easiest to assemble.

LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer Adapter




Power up the learning! Simply plug the adapter into your ClickStart My First Computer Console and AC wall outlet, and get plugged into educational fun.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Adapter
The adapter was bought for the click start game. We prefer using the adapter over use of batteries. It has been working just fine.

5 Stars a must buy
Don’t use the product without the ac adaptor. You will have to replace batteries too often.

1 Star terrible
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my three year old. My older son did just fine learning on an ordinary computer. I thought this would be even better. It is useless. Especially the mouse. I could not use the mouse as an adult. No way is this a meaningful training tool for a kid. Totally frustrating experience for my son.

1 Star LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer Adapter review
Basically the adapter proved useless. The computer flashed a low battery warning on screen every 3 seconds when it was running from this adapter. I ended up using a universal adapter, purchased for $[...] running at 5V instead.

5 Stars Must have!
After reading the reviews I thought the adapter was necessary.

If you like spending your money you can use batteries, but it’s really worth it to buy the adapter, it will pay for itself & you don’t have the trouble of installing batteries every couple weeks.

MAGIC 8 BALL

December 15th, 2009

MAGIC 8 BALL




Ever wish you could see into the future? If you answered “without a doubt” or “signs point to yes,” you are in luck. It is easy to get a sneak preview into the future with Mattel’s Magic 8 Ball. Take all the guesswork out of finding the answers to life’s more perplexing questions. Yes, this is the same Magic 8 Ball you remember from the past, and it is just as reliable as ever. If you don’t get the results you are after, you can always “ask again later!” –Alison Golder

5 Stars 8 Ball Helps Me At Work!!!
My Magic 8 Ball helps streamline my decision making at work. Much better than Sham-Wow even.

5 Stars Mystical pool hall oracle
I never had one of these as a kid, but I saw it on an episode of House, and decided to get one as an adult. Sure it’s silly, but we all need silly every now and then. :)

3 Stars Without a doubt…
My son took my magic 8-ball off my desk today while I was surfing on Amazon. I took the Magic 8-ball and asked “Should I write a review about you, Magic 8-ball?” The reply was “without a doubt”, so here I am typing up my review.

I do not know or remember where this Magic 8-ball came from. I only know that it seems to have always been here, on my desk. I have moved houses a few times, and it always ends up back on my desk. I am not sure why it stays there because I have never used it in the course of my business. I try to save it for the really important questions that life throws my way.

For instance I asked it today “Are we in a depression?”, the reply was “better not tell you now”. So I was confused and asked “will you tell me later?” and it responded “ask again later”. Isn’t that amazing? I can’t wait for later to find out the answer.

The Magic 8-ball has usually steered me in the right direction. An example would be a few years ago I asked “Should I invest in Enron?”, the Magic 8-ball replied “my answer is no”. Wow, did that save me a ton of money! How could it possibly know that Enron was going to fail? Oh wait, its MAGIC!!!

Now there have been a few times when the Magic 8-ball has been not only wrong, but horribly wrong. The most recent was a few weeks ago when I turned from my desk and saw my dog chewing an electrical cord. I asked the Magic 8-ball “should I go unplug that electrical cord to keep the dog from getting shocked?” The Magic 8-ball replied “my sources say no”. So I did not unplug the cord.

I turned around and focused on the work I was doing and then a few minutes later I hear some weird noises and smell burnt fur. What is happening? Then I remembered the dog. By the time I spun around the dog was on fire. Not a huge raging fire, but enough of a fire to light 4 or 5 cigars at once. I yelled at the dog “STOP, DROP, AND ROLL!!”, but when that did not work I realized I had never trained her to use that technique, something I must remedy later. I ran over and was about to stomp out the fire, but then realized it might hurt the dog, and more importantly I was barefoot, so I ended up throwing my margarita on her, luckily for her I had that drink in my hand so early in the day. I am sure it was past five o’clock somewhere. That put out the fire and taught me a good lesson, never ask the Magic 8-ball any questions regarding electricity. Good to know.

An update on my dog, she is fine now. We had to cut off the burnt fur and used our Wahl 79900N Clip-N-Trim 23-Piece Complete Haircut Kit, while not specifically made for fur, it did a fine job. And the fur will grow back eventually. The good part is she no longer likes the taste of extension cords.

PS: I figured enough time had passed to re-ask my “Are we in a depression?” question and the Magic 8-ball replied “Most likely”. Oh well, hope it does not last long.

5 Stars lots of fun!
FUN FUN FUN, a wise word for every day, helps to solve problems about every matter… always at my night table, also, a cool decoration item.

5 Stars Superior vintage toy!!
This is superior legendary toy, everybody wants it! Everybody knows it’s just a toy, but still believes in answers a little.. ;) )
