Toys and Games Reviews of Manhattan Toy Car Seat Gallery
Customer Review: Melted on first day in car
Summary: 3 Stars
I put this in my car the evening I received it. The next morning the strap holding it in place had already detached itself from the back of the product. While it was hot in the car, it was not sweltering -- the outside temp was about 82 degrees. The glue that holds the strap to the gallery doesn't seem to be able to withstand any heat. It's strange for a product that is meant to stay in the car.
I am planning on re-glueing the strap sometime soon. In the meantime it's propped up in front of the baby, and I have to say that she loves it! The pictures are really neat, and she's entranced by them. I just wish that more thought had gone into the manufacturing materials.
Customer Review: Had high hopes
Summary: 2 Stars
I had high hopes for the car seat gallery as I am a big wimmer-ferg. fan. My son was 4.5 months when I bought it but it seemed other reviewers had children even older who enjoyed it, so it seemed like a good idea. My son had little interest except to chew on the cards when I took them out of the pockets. I have since attached the cards to a mobile above the crib and he is still uninterested. I guess stick with 0-3 months for this toy.
Also, the strap is only attached with adhesive 'dots' which came unglued immediately. We had to tuck it under the car mirror to get it to hang. The plastic case wilted in the heat, since it was not hanging straight.
A big disappointment.
Customer Review: Great for any travel or at home
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful product! This keeps my 4 month old busy on long car trips and has been great to help him focus at home. I'll use the cards as flash cards or put them in the holder and attach it to the crib or fold it in half (like an easel) on the floor so that my son can focus on the pictures during tummy time. I have a big cry baby, so these pictures have been very helpful to distract him during crying fits and change his mood. I also bought the crib mobile with the same pictures and it works just as well. One warning: the Velcro strip on the back of the holder needed to be super glued back on after a while. This is understandable since I take this product everywhere.Customer Review: Decent distraction for drive time...
Summary: 3 Stars
Given my baby's love for a number of Manhattan products we own, I added this one to the list of must-have's.
Pros:
~Durable plastic holder can easily handle your own photos when baby is older
~Large images ideal for developing eyes
Cons:
~The velcro rounds on the back of the holder prone to falling off depending on how you hang it in the car
~Not as useful for rear-facing seats as bottom two images obscuring by base (using a Britax seat)
Overall a decent 'toy' for the car at about $10. Baby enjoys it the most when we pass from light to shaded areas thereby 'flashing' light on the images.
Customer Review: Unsafe toy!
Summary: 1 Stars
We got our carseats fitted into our cars. We were reminded NOT to have anything dangling from the infant seat handles. Number one, you are NOT supposed to have the handles in the carry position when using it in a car, that is written all over the instructions. Number 2, they told us to NEVER have toys attached to any part of the car seat, as it would become an object that would strike your child, not even in an accident, what if you had to brake hard? This happened to a friend of mine, and she pulled over to a parking lot and took the toys off her baby's car seat and put the handle in the right position. The instructions are there for a reason!
