I was forced to buy everything from them with my grant, too. The majority of the toys and art supplies were useless in under 12 months. I was very disappointed.
ECR4Kids brands seem to be pretty sturdy and affordable, though. 
I noticed this too, the ironic thing is when I applied for the grant I only had two kids under 12 months.
I did get some toys with suction cups on them for infants. But the majority of the money I spent on furniture and a stroller which even the grant price is higher than the price I would have paid out of pocket if I had gone to Amazon and bought it.
