This set is OK, I guess. I bought it because I thought it was made of wood, but it is not any wood I am familiar with, unless plastic now grows on trees. Other than that, the brush is nice- soft-ish bristles (the set I paid $1.69 for is just as soft), and a decent weight (not too light and flimsy feeling). The comb feels too sharp to use on a baby's tender scalp. It is not an heirloom quality set by any stretch of the imagination, but it does not have an heirloom price, either. Still, I did expect something a little bit nicer for $13. Maybe my disappointment is my own fault.

We purchased this even before our daughter was born. It is a very cute set and now when she is here, I can also attest that it works well. The brush is good size and soft, and works great to comb the tricky, silky newborn hair. The small comb comes handy for brushing out the cradle cap flakes. We're happy with it - the only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think it is a bit pricey. But hey, it is very cute and very girly, which made it worth it for me.

The comb is so small and, well a waste, I won't even comment on it more. The brush is nice, soft and a great shape. The handle is easy to hold and use. The brush works well on babys' hair and he doesn't seem to mind it. I think the set is a little over priced, but it's a decent brush.

I purchased a comb and brush back in 1964, just like the one I just won by bidding on EBay. I used it for five children. I have no idea what ever became of the set. It was the best brush and comb I'd ever seen. My daughter said she needed a comb and bush for her baby so I tried to track one of these sets down. Sure enough, there it was on EBay. When I won the bid, I sent a note to the seller explaining that I bought this for my granddaughter's birthday which was like a week away. The seller promptly sent it to me and I received it just in time. These items are of great quality. I would recommend them to all new mothers.

First off, I think this might be the first Amazon review I've written despite the fact that I buy almost everything on Amazon and have for years, and I religiously read all reviews before making any purchase, large or small. I always have the best intentions and want to leave reviews for the products I buy, but with two kids, one a baby and the other an 11-yo with massive amounts of homework every evening, in addition to a full-time job and a husband, I just don't have the time. I wanted to be sure to leave a review for this brush and comb set however, because I feel the reviews don't adequately give credit where it's due in this case, and if I hadn't made the purchase myself despite the poor reviews I'd still be miserable with every other baby brush I've ever tried to use.

I own every baby brush available from Target, Amazon, and other random baby boutiques I've encountered along the way, and this is the only one that really brushes my baby's hair well. All the others just don't grip it well enough to brush it properly, or I spend forever trying to brush it, which of course is impossible with a baby. Even the other Ambassador brush available on Amazon (the wooden one with a smaller head) doesn't do as good of a job on my baby's hair, although it does much better than its counterparts. And my baby's hair isn't super thick in my opinion, but it isn't baby fine either. It has some curl and body to it, and after a good night's sleep she often wakes up looking like Lyle Lovett. Not so much after I get ahold of it with this comb and brush, and of course a little bit of water. I remember having the exact same issue with my first baby 11 years ago with regard to finding a good brush, although her hair was just thick and straight with no curl. I don't recall what I used with her, but I know this brush would have worked wonders for her as well. And regarding how the brush looks in person - it's exactly as depicted in the picture: a pink, plastic brush. I think it's cute, and I definitely don't see what the other reviewers saw who gave this brush such negative reviews based on how cheap they think it looks. To be clear, I'm by no means after an heirloom quality brush. I just want something that works, and works well. This set does exactly that. I like the comb a lot too - small, fine-toothed, and also very effective for thicker baby hair. I have the white set as well, which I love just as much, and I'm about to order two more sets because it is not fun to be without a good baby brush when I need one.

This hairbrush is lame. It's not cute and it looks really cheap, even though it is not. Wish I had ordered something else - I will probably regift it and by my little sweetie something cuter.
