Editorial Review

Shopping for groceries with Mommy will seem more real than ever with this pintsize poultry and produce carrier. Though only about 2 feet high, the red-and-yellow cart is designed to resemble a grownup's cart. It even includes a fold-up space with leg holes near the cart's handle--Mommy usually sits baby there in a real cart--where tots can place a tiny doll. Bright blue plastic wheels add contrast and additional color to this cart, which will last as long as your child's toddler years. --Diane Beall

This review is from: Little Tikes Shopping Cart - Yellow/Red (Toy)

I purchased this grocery cart for my 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter and they both LOVE it. I had searched for quite sometime for a sturdy basket and this is it!! It's tall enough for my 45" tall son to use comfortably and chunky enough for my 2 year old to push it with ease. Assembling takes a little time but once it was all put together it looked great!! Both kids play with it and often times argue over it. It has a seat for "baby" and that has been a lot of fun for my little girl. My son likes the open space beneath the basket because he can put "soda cans" underneath just like we do at a real grocery store. If you are looking for a grocery cart this is a FANTASTIC one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did you know.....?, October 1, 2002

Some of you might have read the review that says the cart turns over easily. Well, most of these carts have a plastic plug on them. All you have to do is remove the plug and put some sand in the base of the cart. My child is in physical therapy 4X each week. This is a toy we use in our sessions. Our therapist shared this little hint with me, so I hope someone finds this helpful.

My 14 month old loved pushing this around, but the first day we had it, her head and arm got stuck in the open area underneath the basket, completely immovable. It was difficult to assemble and doesnt feel as sturdy as the older model. We returned this toy.

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons

Product Description

Amazon. com Review

Apples to Apples is an award-winning party game that will have everyone laughing. We had a blast playing this game and think it is a perfect game for a "board game night" with friends and family. It is quick to set up, easy to learn, challenging, and a whole lot of fun.

The party box includes over a thousand cards for many card combinations. View larger.

Unexpected and funny comparisons make the game fun to come back to again and again. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Quick set up; inspires quick thinking and creativity; fun for whole family The Bad: Not as fun without at least five players; subject matter targeted for mid-teens and older In a Nutshell: Quick-paced board game requires just a minute to set up and will have everyone laughing for hours At a Glance Ages: 12 and up Requires: At least four players

Smart, Award-Winning Fun
Apples to Apples has won numerous awards including "Party Game of the Year" by Games magazine and "Mensa Select" by Mensa International. And for good reason: it involves quick thinking, humor, and strategy. For teens, the game teaches them to think about how different things can be compared to one another and how analogies are formed. One of our criticisms is that although the game states that it is designed for ages 12 and older, many of the subjects are clearly for older teens.

Hilarious Comparisons and Analogies
The name of the game is a play on the phrase "apples to oranges," and the game is about making comparisons between different things. General game play is as follows: players are dealt red cards which have a noun printed on them, and the judge (a different player in each turn) draws a green card on which an adjective is printed and places it for all players to see. Each player then chooses a red card they are holding that they think best describes the green card. The judge then decides which adjective she likes best.

The fun is in the variety of unexpected comparisons people make, sometimes apt, funny, creative, or simply absurd. For example: people might match "Awkward" with "Oil Spills," "My First Kiss," "Dandruff," and "Gold Chains. " Or: "Painful" with "High School Reunions" and "Regis Philben. " Strategy comes into play since, because each player takes turns being the judge, you begin to pick up on the preferences of each player and tailor your choices accordingly.

Players can also try variations on the basic game play. For example, instead of choosing the most apt comparison, players might try choosing the red card that is least like the green one. These variations keep the game fresh and interesting every time.

Conversation Kick Starter
Part of the fun is in standing up for your choices. For instance, you might discuss why you think "Regis Philben" is painful, or segue into a discussion of the embarrassing situations you got into on your first day of school, or your first kiss. Apples to Apples excels as an ice breaker and promotes a good amount of social interaction, as many conversations will be kick started thanks to these little cards.

More Players, More Fun
Although the box states that the game is playable with just four players, we found that the game is a lot more fun when there are at least five or six players. This increases both the frequency of funny answers and also requires players to refine their strategy a little more. Once we got going, hours passed, and it was only the lateness of the hour that reminded some of us that we had to go home.

This Party Box set comes with more than 1,000 cards total, and will entertain for a long time. Additional expansion sets are available to further increase the variety of word combinations.

What's in the Box
