I am planning to buy this product but little confused as a similar Fisher Price rocker is for $45 and this one is $150. Which one is better?

This is a discontinued model. The original price was $37 at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Fisher-Price-Infant-to-Toddler-Rocker-Elephant/8072092

I bought the one for the cheaper one and it works great. I honestly think it comes down to toys and sounds. My son was just fine with his rocker with only a couple toys, he never knew the difference.

I also have been debating between both devices. I build PC's as a hobby, so I thought it would be an easy decision to make. Wrong!! I've gone back and forth several times looking over the specifications of each and this is my personal conclusion. I am getting the Leapster Explorer because: The screen area is larger on the Explorer The Fisher Price ixl does not have charging stand available The ixl doesn't have a program like Learning Path for the Explorer. The device doesn't aid parents in tracking kids progress very well. Due to the construction of the ixl, the Explorer is built to last a lot longer. The flip top on the ixl looks much too easy to break off. Well, that's my opinion.... Good luck to all of you.

everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed. I liked the modern over the traditional..pretty much the same thing except the traditional looked to be mostly pink in color and clawfoor tub, bicycle..different furniturefrom the modern. The modern had a computer, moped scooter, updated furniture etc. and more color variety..You definitely can't go wrong for the price of $30-35 dollars. I'm 5'6" and it is about waist high..and not $100.00...Hope this helps...I was very happy with this purchase for my 5yr old granddaughter. everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed.

I didn't see any on the Fisher Price website. You might be better off just buying the whole thing again. It would probably be cheaper anyway...it's $10.

It seems strange to me too, every time I look at this chair it is a different price. I found plans to build one with a more solid frame, that you can use a regular car seat from a junk yard, for $80 in parts if you have a welder. I may try that before buying this chair with its high markup in price.

The Amazon product says it requires batteries, while the one straight from Fisher-Price says it can plug in. I don't know if the price increase is because they changed the product, or if the product description on one site or the other is wrong - but maybe that is why the price is different.

I am going to buy this one, I had an older version of a Fisher Price highchair and I put my kids in it until they didn't want to sit in it, about 18 months-2 years. My twins were/are skinny but my singleton was a Chuuuuunky Monkey. You are safe with this. (and for the record I will only buy Fisher Price highchairs, the crotch notch that is actually attached to the chair makes a world of difference and you don't have to use the buckles later on and they won't slide out)

You know I'm not really sure. From what I can tell the one for $82.95 is furry where the one for a few dollars less is plastic. All I can tell you is that the one we got our grandaughter, she really likes the sound and the ease of sitting with the safety seat (she is just starting to walk). She spends a great amount of time on this. We have it set up for the rocking now but it is easy to change to a spring horse. Sorry I cound not be of mor help.Rick

we have ours on our screen porch. I'd say it should probably be in a covered location. I'm not sure where you live, but we saw the rocker at a Kroger just the other day for $89.00. Not sure what they are going for on Amazon these days. Ours has stood up well. Again, directions are terrible and the shipping wasn't up to Amazon standards, but the rocker is well built and worth the money. I may invest in a pad for the thing one of these days. Good luck

I didn't purchase the baby Einstein model because there was a recall on it when we were shopping around. I can however compare this to the fisher price rainforest jumperoo since we bought both. This discover and grow model is not as stable as the rainforest jumperoo. It tends to shake and wobble and the hard plastic hanging toys on this one hit my daughter in the head as she grew into it. The rainforest model has nice soft plush hanging toys and you can adjust the height. We bought my daughter the rainforest jumperoo when she was about 4 months old. She's 11 months old now and still loves it. I'd highly recommend that one over any of the other models. Doesn't exactly answer your question but I hope this was helpful.

I'm in the same boat and would love to hear an answer to your question! The main difference I've gathered in my research (besides the games) is that with the Vtech you can add a memory card and with Fisher Price you cannot. The Vtech also takes video, but from the reviews it seems that it's not good enough to be worth having.

Mattel owns Fisher Price, so it is the same doll. There were 2 sets available one had more stuff with it and cost more. The smaller set usually sells for $60 Amazon had it on sale.

Go to the Fisher Price Website for this toy and see if they are offered there. If not, look for a " Parts" section for all of their toys. They have it, but you might have to look for it. ( Or write Customer Service )

Sorry, I don't know. You may want to directly go to the Fisher-Price website to inquire.

I ordered this and returned it. It was massive and doesn't have any straps to secure a kid in it. You might check out the fisher price rock and play.

Buy a pack and play....they're much more sturdy. Perhaps up to one year or a littlt older is ok for thr Bjorn...it depends on the size of the child. Remember, this product is not worth what you're paying.
