A Rainforest for the Little Ones

Fisher-Price is just about to offer their Rainforest Jumperoo. It is basically a jumper for the little ones sit in while you get a few moments to yourself. The Rainforest Jumperoo has the standard bells and whistles like lights and musical toys with a few improvements over current jumpers.

Fisher Price Rainforest JumperooFirst of all this one has a washable seat. How many times have you found yourself scrubbing the seat of your children’s activity seat only have it still stink or stained. The Rainforest Jumperoo has a seat that can be removed and thrown into the washer and dryer. This is huge since all kinds of liquids and dirt tent to find their way into toys like this.

The other element that makes this jumper stand out from the field is the raised toys that are attached. Most jumpers I have owned only offer toys in the immediate area for junior to play with. With the Rain Forest design there are two hanging leaves with toy for your child to grab and play with. Lastly this jumper can be folded up and stored away for travel or when company comes over and you need the floor for grownups.

Check it out here.

Young Girls Finally Have a Place to Chat Online

BarbieGirls.com WebsiteThis week Mattel will launch BarbieGirls.com, which is “designed to be a safe place for girls to play and interact online.” BarbieGirls.com is an online community where girls can “… [have the] creative power to customize their own virtual character, design their own “room,” shop at the mall, play games, hang out and chat live with other girls.” The motivation behind BarbieGirls.com site is based on the 65 million hits Barbie.com receives each month. It is a virtual no brainier to try to drive the MySpace.com crowd to a safer friendlier place.

This site seems to be an amalgamation of MySpace.com, Yahoo’s Avatars, and a place to spend money. While all of these services already exist, they are lacking the massive name recognition of the world’s number 1 doll, Barbie. The site will no doubt be a huge success since there are few web sites out there that are designed and marketed strictly to young girls; but I see it as next to impossible to keep the bad people out.

You can see the full Web site on April 26 of this year.
