Nice product but requires lots of tricks to get right August 29, 2010
R. Onofrei
Here are some "extra" steps I had to take to get the imprint to turn out:
1. After kneading the impression material in your hands, place on foil, then also place foil ON TOP, then roll out with the wooden pin. I found that using their directions (no foil on top) the material stuck to the pin.
2. Put a small amount of baby powder on baby's foot so that the impression material does not get stuck to baby's skin when you try to lift foot out. I tried 3 times without the powder and each time the heel came out with some of the material on it, ruining the impression. Also, try not pressing the heel in too far.
3. After letting the impression dry for 5 to 6 hours, bring the edge of it on to the edge of a counter top and pull foil down from underneath the impression so you're not actually touching it since it is still a little soft. Pull to halfway on one end, then switch and pull down from the other end, then flip onto a new piece of foil and carefully lift off the original foil where it is still attached in the middle.
Hope these tips help any of you who are frustrated with it. It really tried my patience and I wish the instructions provided these kind of troubleshooting tips.
Mat is not white, as shown in the picture July 8, 2010

The frame is nice, and the impression material works well, but the mat is not white as shown in the picture. It has two sides, one is pink and the other is blue. I think both colors look awful with the frame. The kit comes with a little wooden "rolling pin" that is supposed to be used to roll out the impression material. I do not recommend using it, because the impression material sticks to it, so it's impossible to smooth out. I ended up using one of my plastic baby bottles to roll it out, because the bottle surface is smooth and round, so the impression material doesn't stick to it.
 Hugely disappointed! Broken frames... July 2, 2010

I never write reviews, but this time I am very disappointed... SO, After reading all good reviews I was very excited when the kits arrived - I ordered two. I thought the frame was supposed to be made of wood, but no - it's made of some cheap wood-like material that crumbles easily. BOTH frames were completely broken when I opened the packages. I am glad Amazon has such easy return process.
 Bought the same thing a year ago, and this item is not as good. June 15, 2010

I bought this same item a year ago for when my son was first born. I thought it would be neat to do one again for his first birthday to place side by side. I don't like this one as much as the one that I received last year. This one's bigger, and I ordered the one with the black frame, which was supposed to come with a black background. Instead it came with baby blue on one side and pink on the other. I am very disappointed. Now I need to rig it up with black poster board or something else so it will actually match the other one, even though on the picture on the website it shows the black frame with the black background. I was very frustrated. Now that I opened it all the way up I can't return it without cost. I like the item, but don't like that I have to tweek it to make it be what it was supposed to be in the first place.
where's the black background? April 14, 2010

I have two frames that I purchased for my two older children that are just like the picture- with a black background for the footprint area. But unfortunately, this product comes with baby pink and blue backgrounds. I had to go out and buy black posterboard in order for the frame to match the others. fyi to those of you wanting the black background.
