How do you buy a replacement battery for those big backyard ride-on toys?

It's best not to look in stores but instead to call the toy company's customer service #800 number. They sell these separately and keep in mind, it is always best to keep these recharged when not in use but they don't last forever. more...
After you select your baby's crib, it is important to choose a safe mattress. Based on our evaluation of other mattresses we reviewed, this mattress has been made with a lot of thought put into it! Completely antimicrobial both inside and outside to prevent bacteria from growing, it features welded seams with no needle holes in the cover which prevents dust mites and germs from seeping in. The top is supple so a mattress pad-another host to bacteria- is not needed.
To stop sheets from slipping, the edges are square. This also makes it more difficult for a child to pull on the sheets which could be a safety hazard while sleeping.
It is waterproof, flame resistant and the woven four-way stretch ticking resists cracking. It is easily cleaned with a damp sponge. NOTE: This mattress has a lifetime warranty and custom and round sizes are also available.
TIP: Always place an infant in the center of a mattress where the ventilation is best for sleeping.

Toy Tips to Parents: Time to Unplug
Don't over stuff the toy box with tech toys. When is technology too much technology?
While tech toys are popular and some can be educational, the latest round of newcomers at Toy Fair makes it clear we're going too far into technology assisted play. It seems technology now permeates almost every kind of toy category on the toy shelves. Parents run the risk of stocking the playroom with items that undermine the important developmental aspects of childhood play.
