How does this compare to Tommee Tippee? It looks very similar but I'm wondering if this is worth spending the extra $ as my son won't even take TT.

It's a totally different "feel". The bottle itself is a soft, flexible material that babies can hold and even indent with their fingers. The nipple is very pliable also. I actually had someone approach me at the airport when i was feeding my daughter wanting to know what kind of bottle it was b/c it looked ingenious! Really great for any baby but esp for those who are used to breastfeeding. my daughter likes to touch and feel everything and she loves this. good luck!

I tried a variety of bottles, including TT. This was the only bottle my breast fed babe would take.

It has a similar venting system but it is really dependent on the nipple and softness (I don't know if it is softer than Como Tomo). If you are considering TT I would feel the nipple and compare against yours to see if it's close and save the receipt in case it doesn't work.

TT is a hard plaatic bottle with a smaller nipple. The Comotomo is a soft bottle with a much wider nipple giving it much closer similarities to a natural breast.

To be honest, I looked at Tommy Tippee and never tried it. My daughter has been EBF since day one and did not have bottles. When we tried Advent, Dr. Brown, Medela and Playtex...she would not latch and just got angry. This is the ONLY bottle she will take. She is four months old. It has a real natural nipple that is wider. It also is a soft bottle, it can mimic "let down". I really like it for when my husband is feeding her while I am at appointments/away.

I agree! It is absolutely crazy that on Saturday night when I placed it in my cart it had dropped to $41.99 (unable to finalize purchase because I was waiting for an email reply from TT support regarding the functions of Deluxe version). The next day it was at $49.99. Now it is listed at $53.99! For goodness sake, give me your best offer - then leave it alone while I resolve all of the other issues with TT and make a decision.

Two totally different items. My grandchild has both. I would select Thomas for 4 and under, and the RC age 5 and above.

Yes, abdsolutely fits the Tommee Tippee bottles (which we use as well). We actually received a different model from this one without the pacifier basket and apparently its considered their newer model and we love it. Price was slightly lower as well on the newer model so check that out before ordering. Works much better than the TT bottle warmer, which we tried two of them and gave up. Another great feature, is that it has an automatic shut off.

I am also looking for a case. I bought my son one today but it doesn't fit the trackmaster trains, only the take and play. Did you have any luck finding one?

It's honestly personal preference. I started on the regular ripstick when I was around the same age. And I'm fairly short. Now as an "adult" I enjoy the smaller one because it requires less effort to make it move. It's really a personal preference. If you can take him to Walmart and find the ripstiks out of the package and let him try them out to see which one he likes. I would suggest the mini one if he's a little fella. If the smaller one was an option when I was I kid k would've gotten one.

Thank you for the feedback. I went ahead and bought the V-Tech only because I had read the stylus sometimes didn't work on the leapster and I can see my son freaking out when it doesn't work. We are going on a long trip (overseas) so I wanted something to entertain him. The Leapster might be in our future as well however.

Leapster is great. My kids loved the educational games. It lasted a couple of years. While they still play it, they are now ready for the DS. I'd go with the Leapster, and maybe go with some used games. I wouldn't invest too much because around 6-7 they want the newer big-kid games.

I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question. However, I must admit that I'm not sure I would buy this toy for my 4 year old son again. It's difficult for it to transform. My husband has to do it ever time. And it doesn't really move on it's own. Just says things every now and then. And they are somewhat difficult to turn off. If you have any of the other Switch N Go Dinos - in comparison, this one fails. It's much more flimsy, etc. I know it's a spendy purchase. My son wanted Jagger too, but I convinced him to go a different route. He just doesn't play with it all that often.

I am trying to purchase a marble run as well for my grandson. This is all new to me but I have learned a lot. I have discovered that the marble run "Extreme Mania" by Techno Co. is not a well constructed marble run..From many review's tell the story that It fall's apart and is very hard to assembly and is pour qualty made. There are reviews all over the internet of bad choice. Now, I have no clue what to buy. Can someone help me, PLease... Which is the better made marble run and for its longevity~Thanks, Grandma Tootles

10 bucks is great. Thomas has the best tracks sporting double sides and train tie stamps. It has the best variety destinations. For value though Melissa and Doug with the table. I wrote a review its buried somewhere in there.

Greg,You seem like the real resident expert. I've really appreciated your reviews.I'm looking at buying two pair for my grandkids, their father and I to play with. I see I can get the LTTO version on Ebay for about the same as the neer LTX. Can you tell me which you prefer (or which is better)?Thanks,Barry

I feel your pain. my 4yr old has been a Thomas/train fanatic since he was 1.5 yrs old and has about every engine they produce. I found Bash @ WalMart, stumbled upon Dash @ BigLots and cannot find Ferdinand anywhere. The train HAS been released, however, because I've seen them on ebay... one for $99 and another offer to buy all three for $125! The ad says it won't be released until 2011. If that is so, how are ppl getting them to sell on ebay? People are actually paying these ridiculous amounts for these trains... I dont get it, either. All I've heard from my son is, "where's Ferdinand?" "I need Ferdinand."

Tiki Cat is human-consumption quality. Sweeney Todd loved it, but became demanding when he knew I had it on hand. Now I just give him canned pink salmon. Cheaper.

I can recommend pack n play. I kept one at my house for grandson visits. He's outgrown it now at 3 yrs old, so Thomas inflatable is great for next year or so.

Definitely go with the scooter with the t-bar that increases with height. Not the mini...the regular micro kick with tbar is one of the best and my son is tall too so it adjusts with height. It's worth every cent. It's also one if the scooters all kids use in nyc at these ages and older. It's all you see!

I've been looking at the Vsmile and the Leapster with the stylus. Is this what you are comparing? I'm wondering if the graphics, game quality, etc. are equal, but I'm also wondering if the Leapster with stylus is easier to run for 3 year olds. The Leapster and its cartidges are more expensive, but the stylus on the Vsmile is used on a screen the is separate from the graphics screen. Do you know anything about these questions? I've only got so much money, and I'm concerned about making the "wrong" choice.Thanks!
