Sing Me to Sleep Pooh
by Fisher-Price

Editorial Review
A soothing alternative to a wind-up nighttime musical toy, this soft plush sleeping Pooh, accompanied by his best friend Piglet, can be placed in a corner of the crib and controlled by remote. Playing the music from a distance means no more sneaking in to rewind a toy and possibly disturb the baby. Pooh is dressed in a blue nightcap and snuggles on a small pillow, which is a plastic music unit covered with cotton. It has a soft flashing light inside and there is an on/off switch underneath. When pressed, Pooh's familiar voice sings a lullaby. The blue plastic remote activates one of three choices--soft, tinkling classical music, a Pooh song, or chirping birds and nature sounds. Parents will need to decide if the hard plastic pillow unit is a safe choice for their child. The unit comes with three AA batteries, but three more are required for the remote. --Marianne Painter

Hug and Learn Baby Tad 
Our recommended age: 6 months - 4 years
Editorial Review
Baby Tad is a wonderful interactive toy that makes early learning fun and easy. Baby Tad (short for tadpole) helps your preschooler learn shapes, colors, activities, and songs. When your little one presses a colored light-up button, Tad identifies the color and shape indicated on the button. With his cheerful demeanor and infectious laugh, Tad offers support and encouragement and will quickly become a close and trusted friend. Besides various greetings, a squeeze of Tad's hand brings forth favorite children's songs, sung in a squeaky, high-pitched voice. --Alison Golder

Bratz Formal Funk FM Late Night Limousine
Manufacturer's recommended age: 5 years and up

Editorial Review
"Formal Funk" is characterized by this all-inclusive, Prom-bound, stretch limousine. Chrome detailing, a gray interior, and cushioned, pivoting seats (with working belts) pronounce its luxury. For realism, the limo's head and taillights illuminate, the tinted windows lift, the horn blows, the wheels turn, and the gear and steering wheel move. That, however, is where "formal" ends and "funk" begins! The hood hides a real FM radio, and the trunk contains a "mega-bass" speaker, which spouts tunes clearly. A smoothie bar (the Bratz are never without one) rests between the backseats, and a lift-up dash houses a "primping station" The funkiest thing of all: the limo's roof comes off to make it a convertible! Other accessories include a "pop-up" TV screen, perfume, makeup tools, and more. Required: 5 "AA" batteries. Warning: choking hazard due to small parts. Not for kids under 3 years. Diane Beall

20" Boys Misfit Al Freestyle

From Toysrus.com & Amazon.com
Editorial Review
Kids who want to take their bike off-road to the dirt trail will love Rhino's cool Misfit bicycle. The Misfit has a rugged BMX-style frame with a masculine-looking box-shaped down tube and front stays. The durable 20-inch chrome suspension fork (holding the front tire) stands up to rough riding. The bike's slick brushed aluminum and black finish, alloy pedals and wheels, and front and rear alloy pegs make this bike look extra tough. An alloy quick-release valve for the comfortable padded seat allows for quick height adjustments and a kickstand props the bike up when not in use. For safety, the Misfit has hand brakes for the front and back tires; front, back, and wheel reflectors; a chain guard; and comfortable rubberized handgrips. The frame and fork on all Rhino bikes are covered by a lifetime limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Game Boy Advance SP - Platinum

Amazon.com Review
Many decried the original Game Boy Advance's reflective LCD screen and its reliance on external light sources. The Game Boy Advance SP's main feature--optional backlighting--fixes this complaint nicely, but it's the wealth of other features that makes this system so surprisingly good.
At first look, you might think the SP is a sleek travel alarm clock. When closed, it's just as tall and deep as the original GBA, but only half as wide. Due to its clamshell design, the screen is always protected from everyday scratches. A small button in the center of the console turns on the backlighting element for use in low-light situations, like in a moving car.
The SP comes with a well-designed power adapter that recharges a built-in battery; its prongs fold in for easier storage. Our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can even play it while it's plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on--your results may vary. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.
The quality of the backlighting is very good. It's bright and clear when looking directly at it, but degraded from other angles. This is only a problem for friends who are watching the screen from over your shoulder....... --Porter B. Hall
