I was using a uniseal on a semi solid surface. I know not ideal but I already had it so I thought I'd give it a go. As you would expect it leaked. I replaced it with this and no more leaks.

We have bought 3 of these so far, and they work quite well. Good quality, solid construction. I have to put 4 more works for Amazon to accept this review. What else can you say about a bulkhead??

Honest reviews on Lifegard Aquatics 1-1/2-Inch Standard Threaded Bulkhead

Fits great. Replaced a leaking piece with this one, It tightens down nice, fits other fittings nice as well. I would have liked a hose attachment end instead of a screw attachment but couldn't find one.

You can't not love this toy!!! We tried to make mentos and diet coke "bomb" with out the kit and it was a big mess without the cool heights you can get with this product. My little boys love "mythbusters" and made their day to be able to do one of the stunt they did on tv (actually Netflix) at home.

Every child should have a chance to shoot diet coke into the air!!

Bio Signs Human Anatomy - Teeth & Gums Reviews

Very good, this would have to be one of my favourite bio signs models. A really interesting model for the kids

The above description reads as though you get the 6 models. This is not so... You get 1 and it is whatever they send you. The first time we got the tooth and gum model. The second time they sent the chest model.

The item itself is in a red translucent box, a little bigger than a Rubik's Cube. It is pretty weighty, which leads me to think that it is of a higher quality than I thought it would be. I have not opened the red box, because I bought this as a Christmas present. I wish it had been sold as a set or individually with your choice of model. I probably would not have picked the ones I received. But who knows maybe my son will really dig the tooth model;)

Reviews of Fairy World Lock & Key Diary

Fairy World Lock & Key Diary
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
My 7 year old daughter REALLY wanted a diary with a lock. We first tried another model with one of the cheaper built-in latch locks, and that was a disaster -it wouldn't work, she couldn't do it herself, etc. We returned it and went for this model, which has a cute little stand-alone lock that feeds through rings mounted on the book. The lock is not of the highest quality, and it would help if the shaft were longer -but she can open and close it herself, and it seems like it will survive for awhile, so we're happy. If the lock breaks, we can easily substitute a small luggage lock.

Reviews of Community Jingo

Community Jingo
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
Well-conceived game to use with those who are learning English. I like the simple pictures that represent the community location that is named, as well as the clues that can be given so that students have to come up with the word on their own and locate it on the board.

It would have been nice if the cards had been made of a little thicker card stock, or better yet, laminated, and if there had been markers that came with the game. I have to borrow markers from other games to play this.

I have "verb" jingo, also, and it is equally a good teaching tool.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

My granddaughters always loved these things at the doctors office, but I had never thought about actually buying one until my wife mentioned it. The quality of this product is exceptional and I expect to have it around for quite a while. It's been dropped, dragged, stepped on, piled on and it still looks like new. The older grandkids (including the 7 year old) all sit and play with it from time to time. I was hesitant to spend this much on a toy like this and was a little disappionted with the size when I first opened the box, but as it turns out it is the perfect size for toddlers and it's one of the only toys I bought last year that survived and is still being played with almost every day.

THIS PRODUCT IS MADE IN CHINA!!!!! Any claim to the contrary is entirely false advertising. "Made in China" is clearly stamped on the side of the box. When you call Anatex a rude receptionist will tell you that it is made in "their factory" in China. Right. Made in China. Not the USA. And for this price!!!! Ridiculous. Their margins must be HUGE.

Just got mine. Don't know if previous versions were made in China, but mine has "Made in USA" written on the packaging as opposed to the item received by the reviewer below. Further, mine has ink (nontoxic) on the gears rather than stickers as has been used on previous iterations. This is a great activity cube. Maybe Anatex got the message and made improvements on past complaints. If this is this case, kudos to them!

First Grade LeapPad Book: Dr. Seuss Hop on Pop Reviews

First Grade LeapPad Book: Dr. Seuss Hop on Pop
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
While I love Dr. Suess and his books, I didn't love leap frog's version of his book. Of course Dr. Suess's words were wonderful and I liked how simple the page lay outs were (compared to some cluttery leap frog books)

I did NOT like the un needed ugly phrases that the Leap Pad people added. (the bumble bee was rude and cruel!)

Even my son said "Mom that was UGLY!" to some of the phrases.

And the voices of some of the characters sound almost sinister. Maybe the "goth kids" grew up and got jobs at leap frog, but as I remember Dr. Suess he was funny and quirky NOT creepy.

Sorry leap frog guys, I feel that you missed the point, and tone of Dr. Suess's wonderful books. I feel that some of the phrases in this book are NOT age appropriate. I would like to see more "innocent" books where they are not cynical or cruel to each other.(3-5 year olds should not be forced to be cynical!)

I guess I am picky, I also don't let my son watch sponge bob, or tom and Jerry (too violent) BUT if you are not picky and think sponge bob is great, then you will probly like this book.

every mom is different....

I gave this book to my four year old son before a grueling 32-hour trip with four plane changes. He had a blast recording his own voice with the microphone. He had a wonderful time playing independently. It was so refreshing to see him laughing his heart out saying "NO, Pat!" and "Don't sit on that!"

Best Deals for First Grade LeapPad Book: Dr. Seuss Hop on Pop

Dr. Seuss is doing an excellent job teaching my 5 year old son to read. Hop on Pop is fun and exciting and supports letter/sound recognition. It develops reading patterns and reinforces the concept of rhyming words. I definitely recommend it for emergent readers.

Honest reviews on First Grade LeapPad Book: Dr. Seuss Hop on Pop

My daughter, now seven, is in an advanced reading class. I thnk part of that reason is we encourage her to read and a big part of that was her using the leappad. This was one of many "books" that has helped to fuel her joy of reading. You can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss.

The value of the X-Track is the ability to change directions and expand routes that vehicles can take. My son likes the ability to turn his trains around or make choices on each 'lap' around his train table. That's the good news.

The bad news is the connections on the X-Track are shaped ever-so-slightly different from other popular sets (Thomas, Melissa & Doug, Imagination/Toys'r'us).I'm having to force a lot of pieces into the female connections. The male connections are too large for many of the other brands. I've considered grinding them down a bit with my Dremel but managed to wedge the necessary connections into place for the time being. Once my son is old enough to start building his own track, I may need to reconsider the Dremel option so that he doesn't break a connection off. It's that tight of a fit.

This x-crossing is a great addition to our set. It is very nice to have so my 2 y/o son can cross track without having to use the bridges that came with his original set. Those require quite a bit of manual dexterity, something he doesn't yet possess. My only complaint is the price, as there are only 5 total pieces. I think a fair price would be just under $10. Other than the price, it is very nice.

Very nice sturdy wooden expansion piece. It is often the first piece to be chosen when my son starts to build a new road and rail system. We haven't had any problem with connecting it to PT or other brands of tracks. Not sure what the other poster is writing about.

Honest reviews on PlanToys X-Track Expansion

This track is the same quality as the Melissa & Doug wooden track I bought it to expand on and seems to fit the M&D track well. I had been looking for a + shaped track like this for a while and this was the only one I could find, so I am very happy with it.

The minute you see this this product you know it is NOT cheaply made. The letters and beads are durable as well but there should be a container to put these items in so that they don't get misplaced. As with all toys and learning tools of this nature, care and keen observation is needed because of the size of the beads; other than that, my wife and I are having a grand ole' time with this product with both of our grandsons. Active learning; active fun. As an aside, make sure you are rested and ready.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

My son picked this out when we went to an author signing at the SoHo Scholastic store for the Magic School Bus series. He loves it!!! His favorite activities (which there are many) are the ones with the balloon. He loved watching my hair stand up on ends as he learned about positive charge. He also loved the activity making water jump and making cereal dance. He actually ran around the house looking for more object to make dance. The circuit board is not much, but does it's job and was not expected to be over the top for the age group and price range. So many activities that are fun and engaging to keep a young one's mind all aglow with curiosity.

A friend of mine gave this to my daughter as a Christmas gift and we have not been able to put it down! She loves the balloon experiments and was fascinated with learning about atoms. She is will be 5 in one month so I am very excited about her "getting a jump" on the learning game in science!

Honest reviews on The Magic School Bus - Jumping Into Electricity

I got this to do some fun stuff with my 5-year old grandson, who is, may I say, a bit precocious. We worked through the exercises which came with this set and found them to be interesting and fun. However, the flimsy cardboard pieces, tiny cheap alligator clips (which are very difficult for 5-year-old and grandmother alike to grasp and use) and other cheap components make this kit way overpriced in my opinion. I think they could have upgraded the components considerably without adding much to the manufacturing costs and still made a decent profit.

This is a fabulous idea but the kit was missing parts to do the experiments! Seriously? ... It wasn't pricey enough to make a big stink and ask for another but incredibly disappointing.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

My daughter is 9 months old and she likes this but not her favorite. So far she likes the rattle sound the doll makes more than the doll itself and she doesn't pick it from a box of toys, only when I offer it. It is a good size for a baby, small enough to fit in one hand for her to shake it. I wish they had this one as a brunette, but I only found it in the bigger doll. Honestly the whole "organic cotton" doesn't really mean much to me because it seems just like any other cotton doll ALTHOUGH, the tag says "consists of Pla-Polylactide Fibers" -whatever that is. I will say it is soft, better than polyester. My one big CRITICISM is that when I received the doll, the eye-lashes thread was already coming apart so she lost about half of 2 lashes :( The picture is very acurate to the real thing. MADE IN CHINA.

I got this for my daughter when she was three months old, she's now 8 months. She LOVES dolly! We ended up getting two because waiting for dolly to come out of the wash was too tramatic.

We ordered one of these dolls for my baby girl because it was washable, the perfect size for her to hold, and there are no loose parts to fall off and become a choking hazard.

I'm not worried about anything coming loose or falling apart! Love this doll!

It is a lovely looking soft doll and I love that it made with fabrics not saturated with pesticides and chemicals. Being washable is another great bonus. My only negative comment is on the quality of the finish. I was disappointed that the fabric, where it is stitched around the hairline, is frayed. I will have to pull away any loose pieces and trim carefully before I can give this to my little girl. Loose fibers are a chocking risk to very small children.
