5 Stars Great Product!
I purchased this photo frame as a Father’s Day gift for my husband. Not being particularly techno-savvy I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to load it with pictures before-hand but had ABSOLUTELY no problems! Directions were clear and the USB cable from my camera plugged right into the frame and allowed me to download 400 pictures in no time. The frame works like a charm, and the picture definition is amazing. Would highly recommend!!

4 Stars Almost Perfect
I would have rated it 5 stars if the clock view had the option of using the current time instead of the time the picture was taken. I use the calendar view to get the current time. This makes it difficult to find the current time at a quick glance, especially on the 7 inch screen.

4 Stars PLEASED
First experience with my own and found it easy to set up and use. The remote is not always as responsive as I feel it should be bu that mey still in part be function of my ability with it.

5 Stars Sony 7 inch Digital Frame -DPF- D70
Excellent picture quality. No dead pixels. Frame is modern looking and does not look cheap. It is easy to use; uploading pictures is a breeze. The colors look rich and vibrant and the blacks are deep and not washed out.

There is no glare off the picture due to the matte screen..

5 Stars Clear vibrant pics
I purchased this item so I could view my Italy photos, over 500 of them! The color and clarity are very good. I like all the feature options offered. Glad I bought it.

Lamaze Musical Inchworm

August 21st, 2009

Lamaze Musical Inchworm




Recommended for babies from birth on up, the Lamaze Musical Inchworm is a plush toy that’s perfect for playing and napping. Developed in conjunction with child development experts from Yale University, the Inchworm promotes mom and baby interaction, encourages tummy time fun, and supports healthy physical and sensory development.


The Lamaze Musical Inchworm:
  • Promotes mom and baby interaction and tummy time fun
  • Stimulates baby’s vision and auditory skills
  • Can measure your baby up to 24 inches

The Musical Inchworm is great for tummy time. View larger.

Stimulates Baby’s Vision and Auditory Skills
When babies are first born, they see in black and white. This is why the Musical Inchworm strikes a balance between bright, high contrast patterns that help stimulate baby’s vision, and bold solid colors that give baby’s eyes a place to rest. Sounds like rattle, squeak, crinkle, and jingle also help stimulate and develop baby’s auditory skills. Finally, the Musical Inchworm’s large, friendly eyes invite baby to focus and stare at a single object, which can help calm baby while supporting healthy eye development.

Child-Safe Design
With its soft velour body and interesting textures to touch and chew, the Musical Inchworm is an ideal play and rest-time companion, whether baby is at home in his crib or traveling in the car. Safe and easy for little hands to hold and investigate, this toy also features an underside that measures your baby up to 24 inches. It even plays the song “If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands” when hugged. Perhaps the most rewarding feature of the Musical Inchworm’s design, however, is the bonding opportunities it offers. In fact, this toy is perfect for an interactive game of peek-a-boo–simply hide the inchworm’s head underneath a blanket and then show the baby the inchworm as you say “peek-a-boo!”

The Inchworm measures .50 x 24.0 x 2.75 inches (WxHxD), weighs 0.40 pounds and comes with a 90 day limited warranty.




Bright and colorful patterns stimulate baby’s vision.

Baby’s will be drawn to large friendly eyes the inchworm.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars BORING
We played with this toy some. All the different noices and rattles, I guess, are supposed to be educational, I don’t see much value in it from educational standpoint. OK, the inchworm parts make different sounds, but why? They all look the same other than the color variation which has nothing to do with the sounds. And the music is cute hence the two stars, but it is only one song and soon becomes boring. Impossible for a baby, even young toddler to turn it on. I eventually tought my son to whack it on the floor hard to turn the music on. Not too good solution. I do NOT recommend this toy, unless you get it given. It does some, but not worth the money to my opinion.

5 Stars cute
I bought this for my baby girl and she loves to stare at the big eyes as well as the different colors on the body. Has recently started to touch and shake it to make noise and enjoys playing with “Inchy”. This is a nice toy to last a while as baby grows and is also fun to measure baby with the ruler on the back.

3 Stars Decent.
Lamaze products are amazing because they are so cute and colorful. The problem? They all seem to do the same thing. We received this as a gift and while its cute and cuddly its not a favorite. Like another person posted it can nicely be used to prop a child up for tummy time…and could be cute to take pictures of next to. But…we got two inchworms…and the other one we got the pieces actually come apart so you can connect the inchworm together & it sings. And while connecting the pieces is harder for a newborn to do (ok impossible!) it definitely grows with the child! My 2.5 year old is entertained by it and allows the two kids to play together…so…nix this worm and go look for the other one!

5 Stars Great floor play pal
The “musical” inchworm isn’t quite so much musical as it has various noise makers: squeakers, crumply fabrics, rattle, and one song played when the mouth is squeezed. However, my little guy (4 months old) loves this toy! We lay it across his belly or chest and he just tackles and hugs it with his arms and legs and naws on the green knobby legs. He likes the noises and it keeps his attention for a long time!

4 Stars Not sure why he loves it, but he does.
My son loves this toy, it doesn’t do much, and the “music” is hard to activate (you’ve got to squeeze the tongue very hard to get it to play), but he squeals whenever he sees it and will spend quite a while playing with it. Gund has a very similar product, but I do think this one is cuter and its significantly bigger, which may be half the appeal to a kid whose only 27 inches long himself.

5 Stars Very Cute
My baby really likes this. She chews on the feet and though she would never be strong enough to make the squeekers squeek, it catches her attention pretty good when me or my husband do it. She also loves the rattling sound the ears make and likes to chew on the ears as well. The bright yellow color of the body is another favorite of hers.

Overall and awesome toy.

5 Stars Great for babies who like to kick!
My baby is now 4 months old and has loved ’stretch’ since she was able to grasp…she giggles with delight when you squeeze his nose as it squeaks and the legs each make a different sound.It’s a great toy when they start to kick as you can dangle the legs over them and when they kick it, it will rattle and ring so that the baby can really see cause and effect in their actions. Just the other day i found that the ears are scrunchy and make a noise too -endless surprises!

4 Stars Girafffe
We have our giraffe hanging from the car seat. I really like all the different colors and patterns. Can’t wait for my baby to start enjoying it.

5 Stars Great toy for 3+ months!
I got this as a gift, and I’m so glad I did. I probably wouldn’t have purchased it on my own, but my baby loves it! The legs have bells, a squeaker, and crinkle fabric in them. He loves smushing the giraffe into his face, fingering the rings and ribbon on its neck, and batting at the legs if I dangle it above him. It seems a good size for hugging. The legs aren’t actually as stretchy as they appear, in fact I would say that they don’t really stretch at all, but that is not as much of a concern as an FYI in case you were expecting one of those toys that have very elastic legs.

3 Stars Fun toy but the Butterfly is better!
This toy is fun, but it doesn’t hold my daughter’s attention like the butterfly. Also, it would help if the clip was either a little longer or positioned differently.

Lamaze Freddie the Firefly

Lamaze Freddie the Firefly




CHOCKING HAZARD – CONTAINS SMALL PARTS – NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great toy for newborns
My daughter is 2 months old and loves this toy. (It was a gift picked by her 2 year old cousin, as he really liked it.) We’ve been playing with it for about 2-3 weeks now. At first, it was just the high-contrast patterns on the back of the wings. The next thing to draw her attention was the face of the firefly. Lately, she’s really into the small mirror. I’m sure when she starts grabbing her toys more often, the crinkly wings and various textures will amuse her.

5 Stars What a great toy!
My 4 month old loves this toy! Great colors, textures, and good size. I really like the clip that holds it on – doesn’t slip off easily like many other toys.

5 Stars Great Toy for Infant
This is the first toy I got for my 3 year old baby. I’m a first time mom, and I was very overjoyed to see how my baby react to this little butterfly. Everytime I moved it around in front of my baby, I can see his eyes following it. Also, when I make the squeaky sound from one of its wings, my baby just can’t stop laughing, I’m just so glad that there’s something out there that can make my baby laugh so happily.

5 Stars Amazing!
My baby is addicted to Freddie! He started with it at 3 months old and don’t think he’s put it down since (now 5 months) except when sleeping. We can’t go anywhere without Freddie, Freddie soothes him and also keeps him busy with the crinkling wings, the soft cuddly body, and that “je ne sais quoi” that defies description. While Freddie seems very sturdy and washable, I’m actually here buying a backup. I can’t imagine the meltdown that would result if something were to happen to Freddie. We like to say that Freddie and my boy have decided to become monogamous! He received Jaques the Peacock at the same time as a gift and won’t even look at poor Jaques. A love triangle with a tragic end for Jaques. Anyone looking for a stray, heartbroken peacock that seems indistinguishable from Freddie to the adult eye, feel free to contact us.

5 Stars Lamaze Freddie the Firefly – great toy!
My granddaughter loves this one too — the bright colors keep her attention and she is quiet for quite a while playing with it. I’m glad I got it for her for Easter rather than a bunny!
