Dora the Explorer Bath Squirters, by Munchkin, is a set of four Dora the Explorer-themed floating,and squirting bath toys.  This set of bath toys is sure to make your baby look forward to bath time.

Pros:

• The Dora bath toys will float, and can be played with in either the tub or a pool.
• These are really cute, durable toys that are perfect for children who love Dora the Explorer.
• The small size of these bath toys is perfectly suited to a very young child’s small hands.
• These bath time toys are very portable due to their small size.  They can easily be put into a diaper bag, or swim bag for enjoyment at Grandma’s house, or at the local pool.

Cons:

• A lot of people are disappointed by the small size of these bath toys.  They are only about the size of a golf ball, which many people found underwhelming.
• The plastic in these toys is quite hard, and difficult to squeeze to fill them with water, or to squirt the water out.
• When used in the tub, these toys can grow mildew that will squirt out with the water.  This can likely be resolved by soaking them in a bleach/water mix for a few minutes every couple of weeks.
• The toy with Dora on the blue dragon does not float real well, and leans, so it looks like Dora is drowning.

Customer Review:

My 1 year old daughter got this bath set from her aunt and uncle for her birthday.  My daughter LOVES Dora the Explorer, so she plays with them everywhere, both in the tub and out.  It is true that these toys are kind of hard to squeeze, but my daughter loves them any way.  This is a great set for little Dora lovers.

Cons:

• Mushy food, like bananas, can be messy, and difficult to clean out of the feeders.
• The feeders do not come apart, so cleaning messy foods out of them, completely, can be pretty time consuming.
• Some people found that little pieces of of the mesh, from the inside seam, came off and got embedded in the chewed on food.  These people had concerns that baby may have swallowed some small pieces of the plastic mesh.
• The mesh may start to come apart after repeated use, so you will need to replace the feeder.  Munchkin does not make replacement mesh bags available for this feeders, like some other companies do.

The Six Soft-Tip Infant Spoons, by Munchkin, is a set of 6 brightly colored, soft-tip infant spoons, that are round in shape and gentle on a baby’s gums.  This spoon set features special ergonomically designed handles for a comfortable hold and just the right length to reach the bottom of baby food jars.  The spoons are BPA-free and washable on the top rack of a dishwasher.  This spoon set is best suited for babies 3 months and older.

Pros:

• The whole basin of the spoon is flexible, which makes for a more comfortable eating experience for your baby, with no gum scraping from a metal or hard plastic spoon.
• The bright colors, of the spoons, help to keep baby’s attention on eating, rather than being distracted by surround occurrences.
• The Soft-Tip Infant Spoons have a deep basin, which allows them to hold more food per bite than some other very shallow baby spoons.
• The handles, of these spoons, are long, which makes it easier to reach the bottom of a baby food jar.  That means more food in your baby, and less food left wasted in the jar.
• The spoons are made from a single piece of molded plastic, so they are easy to wash, either in the dishwasher or by hand.
• The size and shape, of the spoon handles, is a comfortable fit for either baby or parent.

Cons:

• The handles are quite a bit heavier than the bowl of the spoon, so if a spoon is left in a  tall empty container, it is likely that the container will tip over, possibly creating a mess.  It is likely to also fling food across the room if it is left in a bowl.
• Some people feel that  these spoons don’t work well for infants learning to spoon-feed themselves.  The bowl of the spoon is too narrow and slippery and the length is too long, and deep, which makes it difficult for some babies to get the food out of the deep bowl of the spoon.
