Hi, I just wanted to say Thank You for the heads up about this produce, and for ThriftyFun with your send to a friend option. Our daughter who lives in MN., we are here in WI, who I sent it to after reading about it here. She has blessed us with another little bundle of love, so I thought she may want to see this. Not knowing what they might have gotten for gifts, and yes they did get one for a gift. They tried to get it up and said they were having trouble with it, so put it aside for now, she's glad she did. Said she was going to return it ASAP. Just want to Thank You Again.
