Fisher Price Power Wheels Escalade, Ford F150, Wrangler and MORE!

Who knew there were so many ride on power wheels made for toddlers. I certainly didn't. My mentioned wanting to get my 2 1/2 year old a Fisher Price Barbie Power Wheels. I had no clue what it was so I did a little looking around!

Holy Cow! There are a lot of choices for the mobile toddler.

From what I've seen and read, the Power Wheels Escalade and the Wrangler Power Wheels are two of the toughest and most long lasting models around. People have kids still using these models even 4 or 5 years later. In fact, they are keeping that model and getting their younger kids a Power Wheels Ford f150, or for a new little girl a cute Power Wheels Mustang, yes, there's even a pink Barbie Power Wheels model.

My least favorite choice in these large machines is the Power Wheels Ninja. It is a real 4 wheeler for toddlers. I would highly suggest a helmet to go with this one. They sell full face youth helmets that should fit the average toddler. I wonder if a toddler's sense of balance is good enough yet to be maneuvering a four wheeler.

Most of these power wheels have 2 speeds, the low speed which goes up to 2.5 miles per hour. When your little one has control at that speed you can switch to the high speed which goes up to 5 miles an hour.

That seems a little over the top for me, but I'm a first time mom who's probably a little overprotective. lol.

All in all these Fisher Price Power Wheels seem well built, and long lasting, and many families end up with not only one but two of these ride on toys.

Fisher Price Learning Puppy

We received this as a gift for my daughter's first Christmas, even though there was a "no noisy toys" pact in place. Even though this toy is "noisy" it is also very educational. My daughter hates riding in the car, so we kept the learning puppy in the car so it was something special she didn't get to play with every day.

It worked like a charm. She learned tons on car rides. The Fisher Price Learning Puppy provides the opportunity to learn body parts, colors, numbers, songs and more. It is a sweet and charming little toy that is easy for small children to interact with. It only takes a soft touch on the paws, ears or tummy to activate the puppy.

The Laugh and Learn Puppy is a cuddly play pal for your baby that combines two modes of play -- learning mode and music games -- with 10 delightful songs. In Learning Mode, six hot spots on the puppy teach your child A-Z, body parts and colors through fun phrases and songs. Then, switch to Game Mode for fun phrases and songs, including the Alphabet Song, a color song, a counting song and a song that teaches body parts. In Game Mode, kids can also enjoy six additional songs that encourage interaction: Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone, Pat-a-Cake, This Little Piggy, This Old Man and Bingo. Provides hours of interactive enjoyment.

Fisher Price fp3 Player

The Fisher Price fp3 player is an "mp3" player for kids. It is build kid tough and is able to stand up to whatever your kids put it through. It comes in two colors and blue and pink. The Kid-Tough FP3 Player is a real digital player designed just for preschoolers. It's tough enough and easy enough for kids to use.

It's also easy for parents to download songs and stories onto the player from the Fisher Price FP3 Song & Story Online Store, or from any CD you already own. The Kid-Tough FP3 Player features: A backlit 1.4-inch LCD screen that uses icons to help kids recognize and choose their favorite songs and stories all by themselves; big buttons that make it easy to navigate; Kid-tough design that stands up to the way preschoolers play.

It holds two hours of entertainment--that's approximately 30 songs or 15 stories; add an SD memory card to store even more songs and stories Headphones that are sized just right for little ones and that play at a safe volume; breakaway neck strap; six songs and two stories pre-loaded on the FP3 Player. There are hundreds more songs and stories ready for safe and simple download from our Song & Story Online Store. With the software CD we've included, you can: access the Fisher-Price FP3 Song & Story Online Store; browse hundreds of kid-appropriate songs and stories, all in one place; read expert recommendations to help you choose; purchase new and different songs and stories online, anytime; copy music from CDs you already own to your player; change and manage your player's songs and stories.

The reviews have been generally favorable. The one complaint is that you can't transfer music from an mp3 player like an ipod onto this player for your kids. Not a huge complaint, but I imagine if you store most of your music on an mp3 player it might be. Otherwise most people are simply using music they already have instead of buying from the online store. The new songs and stories are about 1.99 each.

Fisher Price Rainforest Collection

This isn't exactly toys, but the Fisher Price Rainforest Collection makes an excellent gift and many of the pieces in the collection will help mom keep baby entertained.

The collection is made up of all the different pieces of baby gear a mom could ever want. Starting from birth and moving through life with your baby into toddlerhood. This collection features the rainforest design which has a green background and shows birds and animals of the jungle.

You may want to start off with the Fisher Price Rainforest Peek a Boo Leaves Musical Mobile.
It features brightly colored animals rotating in the mobile, but more than that the leaves at the top move in and out playing peek a boo with a cute little dragonfly. It plays classical music and includes a remote so you can turn on the music without disturbing baby. It is a beautiful musical mobile and will make a wonderful addition to any nursery. Stop by for more Fisher Price Rainforest Mobile reviews.

Once your baby is a little older and starting to need some tummy time the Fisher Price Rainforest gym is the way to go. Again it features bright colors, and jungle animals. It provides plenty of things for baby to reach for and play with. It also has a mirror that will keep baby entertained and happy. Stop by for more Fisher Price Rainforest Gym reviews.

This is also a great age for baby to use the Fisher Price Rainforest Bouncer. The bouncer provides a variety of settings including music and vibrate. It also has enough toys to keep baby entertained. When baby kicks the spinning toys it sets off the music, which also helps teach cause and effect. If you have a fussy baby and need a few minutes for a shower or maybe to grab a bight to eat, this might do the trick to calm them down. Stop by for more Fisher Price Rainforest Bouncer reviews.

If you have a baby who needs constant motion, like mine did, you will probably want the Fisher Price Rainforest Swing. This is an open top swing, that plays music and entertains the baby with toys and rocking. Many babies will happily fall asleep in this swing. You can also turn the baby so they are rocking side to side or front to back. It's an excellent feature in case your baby doesn't like one way or the other. Stop by for more Fisher Price Rainforest Swing reviews from other new parents.

Granted there a tons of pieces to this collection including baby bedding, lamps, light switch covers, blankets just about anything you can think of they make in the rainforest collection.

The last thing I'm going to review today is the Fisher Price Rainforest Helathy Care High Chair. This is a high quality high chair. It is on casters (wheels) which lock for easy moving from one place to another. An entertaining toy fits directly on the high chair tray to keep baby busy while they are waiting to eat. The toy can come off and be played with while not in the high chair as well. There is also an insert for the tray which is removable and completely dishwasher safe, making cleanup much easier. The fabric of the Fisher Price Rainforest high chair is very washable with a damp cloth, it also features the fun and interesting jungle animals on a green background. As far as "kid furniture patterns" this one is very easy on the eyes. This high chair is highly recommended, as it is built to last and has a lot of features you will easily use for quite a long time.
