Product Description

In 2004, an estimated 4 million toddlers will take their first steps, say the word "no," and cost their parents in excess of $2,000 in food, clothing, daycare, and other necessities. Toddler Bargains is for people who want the best for their little ones but don't want to pay top dollar. It lists bargains and deals on a wide range of child-related products and services, from bedroom decor to the latest toys to swimming lessons. Parents are given key information in chart form such as ratings of car booster seats, as well as toy, book, and CDROM recommendations by age. In addition, there is advice on kid-friendly destinations for family trips, safety news on a variety of items, and a list of the best bets for eating out with children. This edition has been extensively updated, with new information on websites, outlets, and freebies.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as Good as "Baby Bargains", February 20, 2003
This review is from: Toddler Bargains: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on Toddler Furniture, Clothing, Shoes, Travel Gear, Toys, and More (Paperback)
We looked forward to reading this book. Baby bargains was great. Toddler Bargains is just ok. There is alot to like about this book, but it does not live up to the predecessor.

As usual, where the book rates products the ratings are very helpful. The book is based around the opinions of the Fields, with some input from consumers via e-mail and other sources. "Baby Bargains" would state that the authors did not care for a type of product and then rate those items for people who really wanted to buy them, this book doesn't. In the furniture section they say that they recommend skipping the toddler bed for a twin bed, and then go on to discuss bunk bed safety. This ignores the fact that many readers have practical reasons for buying a toddler bed and would like the guidance.

Another problem is there is an abundance of "filler" to make the book bigger in addition to the very helpful information, that makes this book more of a treasure hunt than "Baby Bargains". Much of the information is general, and alot can be easily found online.

Overall this is a good book, but look through it before you buy it, or buy it on sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 books kept in my glove compartment...always handy, July 8, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Toddler Bargains: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on Toddler Furniture, Clothing, Shoes, Travel Gear, Toys, and More (Paperback)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this book in addition to "Baby Bargains." With a 3-year-old and a brand new baby, I truly appreciate the objective and honest "FIELD studies" that thoroughly explain options to the variety of decisions that must be made. These 2 books are full of sensible product comparisons related to price, safety, ease of use, and necessity. Additionally, practical tips of all kinds are included to help a very busy parent with a toddler make good choices concerning "wants" and "needs"--(such as choosing toys, vacations, clothes, and classes). Along with these 2 invaluable books, I keep "The Pocket Parent" a fabulous quick-read guide of the very same shape that fits perfectly in the glove compartment. This A-Z compendium is written just for parents with 2's, 3's, 4's, and 5's whom (as you already know if you have one) often don't wish to cooperate on money saving shopping sprees. I found so many great tips that work on the spot for such challenging behaviors as the oh so annoying "Gimmes", Whining, Fighting, Interrupting, Bad Words, "I Hate You's", and Tantrums in public that can drive you close to your wits' end. In addition, all 3 books are loaded with compassion and humor, probably because the authors are parents that have personally "been there" too. My husband and I highly recommend these 3 outstanding books to help moms and dads make wise decisions while remaining somewhat sane in the process!

3.0 out of 5 stars 2007 edition available as an eBook, May 7, 2007
I haven't had time to read through it yet. But the Baby Bargains book was pretty helpful (though too dependent on the anecdote in some cases). I'm hoping this will be similar.

I downloaded the 2007 edition from the Baby Bargains website since the print version offered at Amazon is 3 years out of date. The eBook is in PDF format and readable by any computer with a recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. It's also cheaper than the paperback.

On the plus side you can do immediate text searches within the book and you could print out just the relevant info for your shopping trips. On the negative side, you won't have a copy to casually flip through. Everytime, you'll need to boot up your computer or PDA (or PSP running a homebrew PDF reader).
