BT Digital Baby Monitor 100

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development Toys
from: BT

October 31, 2007
We bought this baby monitor after being guided by the other reviews on Amazon. I'm pleased to report that we've been equally impressed!

I won't go into tons of detail - other than to say it does everything that you would need for a newborn, plus more. Don't worry about the more expensive 150 model - the extra gadgets are overkill. The 100 does everything you need, plus a few extra bits that you might never use (the tunes it plays are a nice touch - but never used in our house).

And, we live right under the Heathrow flight path and never had a single bit of interference!

Spend your money with confidence.

Lamaze - Freddie The Firefly

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development Toys
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy for my son when he was born as he is a baby that is always awake so needs lots of stimulation. This has been one of the best buys as he loves the squeaker and the colours meant he could see it when he was a few weeks old. It also rattles and he is now able to get hold of the rings at the bottom to chew. I actually put this toy in the washing machine when it fell out of the car and it was fine - the squeaker still works. A must have for those with active babies.

Fifi and the Flowertots - Deluxe Forget Me Not Cottage

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development Toys
from: Vivid Imaginations


IN A NUTSHELL WHAT A BRILLIANT TOY.
AND THE LONG VERSION - I bought this product when it first appeared on the market. It was my eldest girls present,(who's now 5) but my 3 year old son and two year old daughter love it. It has also taken some hammering from their older cousins (6 and 7 year old boys)! All is still intact and we have wonderful games of naughty Stingo getting up to no good and the tots baking and playing. My sister in law and I thought it was a bit amusing that the older boys wanted to play too but we did decide that with all the bits and pieces you can do,(like putting the cakes in the oven and when you pull them out they have risen), there are not many boys toys out there that offer such a lot of simple working parts which ...

Grobag Egg

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development Toys
from: Grobag® Egg


I bought this product to provide me with peace of mind regarding the temperature of my baby's room. But, as the other reviews indicate, the egg consistently gives a temperature 2 or 3 degrees higher than other thermometers. This is frustrating and disappointing. It does look pretty though and makes a good little night light - but no good for peace of mind when looking at temperature!

Lamaze - Balancing Bug Stacker

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development Toys
from: Learning Curve


I bought this toy as i was looking for something a bit different from the whoozit type soft toys for my 8 month old. It has not disappointed. The 6 bugs are all brightly coloured with various legs, wings etc for little ones to grab hold of. They each contain a magnet which not only enables them to stick together in a totem pole effect but also produces a not too loud rattle in each one. They are neither too heavy nor too big for the littlest hands to pick up and they will love knocking down the towers that you have carefully constructed as well as banging pairs together and ultimately building their own towers, naming the bugs, learning colours etc. My only, very small criticism is that i assume one of the bugs to be a spider but it only has 6 legs! ...

Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development Toys
from: Fisher Price


I have bought this bouncer for my daughter when she was six weeks old and she instantly adored sitting in it. She has been in her bouncer for 15-20 minutes every day and now at three months is still entertained by it. She loves both the continuous mode and the rattle mode. The hanging toys on the toy-bar are well-placed; even at six weeks she could reach the monkey's head (with the help of one of the rings that I'd placed in her left hand) or kick the parrot with her legs. Apart from being entertained, the rattle-mode has trained her eye-hand-coordination and has helped her learn about cause-and-effect.

I would definitely recommend this bouncer. When the baby is in the bouncer a mother has a chance to do things that are not always very easy ... Read More:

Fisher-Price Sounds & Lights Monitor Restage

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Development Toys
from: Fisher Price


We were a bit shocked at the prices of baby monitors in the UK after having moved here recently from the US, and so went with the cheapest item available, this one. Its £20 wasted. It works, but barely.

There's a large amount of static, and nothing helps. It has huge antennae on the transmitter and receiver, you would think this would help with reception. This just reminds me of AM radios from my childhood.

The receiver has a power adapter, but no, it doesn't charge batteries. Its just to power the receiver if you don't have batteries. I am sure they saved a few pennies there.

Lastly the build quality is cheap, gaudy and plasticky. Definitely a bargain basement item.
