When my boys were first born it was not just Mr Lools and I who felt the need to purchase them toys. My parents took their role of grandparents very seriously as my twins were their first grandchildren so even before my boys were born my mum regularly could be heard saying she had bought them "a little something". Initially clothes seemed to be the "little something" but once my boys were born and reached around 8 weeks old it the "little something" turned into toys. Most of these toys were only little rattle type toys but I remember exclaiming what on earth is that when she came around to visit with the LeapFrog Hug and Learn Baby Tad toy  Read the complete review

Baby Tad has been my 2 year old son's bedtime companion since he was about 6 months old and moved into a room of his own. He has been to Spain, and he goes on weekend visits to Grandparents because he is loved so much! Little does he know that the one he currently has in his bed is actually the second one I bought, as they first one got wet dropped in the bath by mistake) and stopped working, and as my son wouldn't sleep without him I had to buy an emergency replacement.

I first bought Baby Tad for my niece 5 years ago. She loved it so I thought I would buy it for my son for Christmas when he was 6 months old. Now, this is younger than the recommended age but he was still captured by the lights, the sounds and the colours. Baby Tad has two different modes - daytime and nighttime. The daytime mode teaches colours and shapes. The nighttime mode sings lullabyes to get the baby to sleep. The coloured shapes on his tummy are buttons that get pressed which causes them to light up. I found the daytime mode to be quite fun and stimulating, but it didn't hold my son's attention for too long. The nighttime mode I ...  Read the complete review
