Your Baby Will Love This Toy!
Out of all of the toys that my daughter has, she loves this one the most. I bought it for her when she was 3 1/2 months and she loves it still. It is easy for her to hold and shake. It is very durable-we take it everywhere. I have purchased other Lamaze products as well.and she loves them the best out of all of her toys. Great company, great products. Highly recommended.

Hours of Play
Such a fabulous interactive cube. Lots of bright colors, jingles and jangles. My 4-mo little boy shakes it, stares at it, gums it, and reaches and grasps for all the rings and handles. Since he has had this cube his grasp has improved as well as his independent play time. Great for the stroller and car, small enough to transport all over. The only reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is that it is not machine washable. Great, interesting, he loves it. Also try the Lamaze catapiller, really impressed with this line of toys.

Jingles, crinkles, chewable -- what more could a baby want?
This is one of our son's most beloved toys. It's amazing how much they've packed into one little toy. The big, soft handles made this one of the first toys he could successfully clutch and lift. He loves to shake it and hear the jingling noises. Whenever he's bored, we can offer this toy and it seems to satisfy him.

great toy
I bought 2 of these for grandchildren as Easter gifts.They were 4 1/2 and 6 months old and they both loved them from the start. So I purchased another for my newest granson who is just 3 months old now. The 2 older babies had no problems figuring out how to rattle, shake, open flaps and chew on this toy.And it is still a favorite for both of them 2 1/2 months later. Levi likes to look at his but at this point thats about all he does with it. I'm thinking that even though it says 3 months and above they should be 4 months or so in order to actually try playing with it. Or maybe its because he was premature. At any rate it really is a good toy, has lots to offer and I would reccommend it for every young baby--it holds their interests for a long time and I'm sure it will do the same for Levi in another month or so--glad I purchased these. As always, LaMaze makes great infant toys and I think I've purchased everyone they've made and never once have I been disappointed. This one is a must have and well worth the money.

One of our favorites!!
Our son received this as a gift, and LOVED it!! Now it is the gift that we give to everybody!! ... Read more

Good first car seat toy
I bought these bugs for my daughter while looking for a cheap car seat toy to keep her entertained since we spend so much time in the car (love that Houston traffic!). I bought them for her when she was one month old, and she was immediately captivated by the bright colors and motion. She has had so much fun with these bugs and they were the first things she batted at and pulled toward her mouth. I only put 2 of the 3 bugs on her car seat and rotate them periodically. The rattle bug doesn't rattle all that well, but enough to keep her interest. She is now 5 months old and still loves the bugs - we clip them to other things than her car seat since she seems to have so much fun with them. I only wish they had something this cute and inexpensive when my son was born!!

My son can stare at these bugs forever.
These are great!! My son is 9 weeks old and loves staring at these bugs dangling from overhead. They are bright and colorful and really grab his attention. He doesn't reach for them yet, but I know he will soon.

9 month old STILL loves his bugs!
I bought Bugs on Board for my daughter when she was a couple of months old to go on her infant carrier. She found them very entertaining and would pull on them and stare at them. Once we got the next size up carseat, we started using them on her stroller or just by themselves. This is weird, but her favorite part is the velcro. She just loves chewing on them more than any other toy just about. Even though she has plenty of teethers, for some reason she just loves the way the velcro feels on her gums I guess. We've gotten a lot of mileage out of this (...) toy!

Bugs Galore
My 2 month old son loves these. I put them on his car seats and he smiled at them and then started to talk to the two. I can't wait till he grabs them and starts to play with them. I attached them to his wrists too and was making the lady bug rattle. Great toy for young ones. Know someone who is expecting it's a must have.

bug laugh
My son loves these bugs! We have them on his car seat and he watches them move. He can't grab them yet - but they hold his attention and I can see him focusing on them. I can't wait to see him when he can hit them and pull on them and make them "fly"! ... Read more

I've been handing them down for years
When these first came out, I bought them for one of my kids. They've been passed down several times since then (I even had to buy another set for my triplets). We love them, the babies play with them, teethe on them, make them click and clack and any other thing possible with them. They're great toys!

Excellent toy
I bought this for my daughter for her first Christmas, she was 3 mo old. What a life saver. She loves "talking" to the little monkey and elephant. When it came to teething time, the first toy she reached for was the one with three rubbery butterflies. My daughter seems to love this toy. I would recommend to anyone.

My daughter loves this monkey...
My 2 1/2 month old daughter absolutely loves the monkey! She started to enjoy looking it at about 3 weeks of age. She then moved on to smiling and batting at it. He is now the receiver of many smiles, giggles, and conversations throughout the day. She also likes the elephant, but she definitely prefers the monkey. I've found that this toy is very portable, it's easily attached to her bouncy seat, stroller, car seat, swing, etc...

Great toys
My daughter has been in love with the monkey since she was 2 months old. She loves its google eyes. She now uses the butterfly for teething.

Worried about the safety of the monkey
I purchased the monkey individually for my son at about four months old. He loved it being attached to his car seat so much that I brought it inside and let him play with it in the house as well. As he got older (around 8 months and teething) I noticed he would put the hard plastic eyes in his mouth and try to bite them off. That made me nervous enough to throw the toy away. They did seem to be attached well, but I didn't want to find out otherwise the hard way. ... Read more

Disappointed
My 7 month old daughter is strong enough to pull herself up, but she is not strong enough to activate the toy. I have to press fairly hard myself to get it to work. It is a wonderful concept and she loves to hear the rhymes, but it would be nice if she could do it herself. We also have trouble with one of the buttons. It occasionally starts at the end of the song instead of the beginning or says welcome instead of playing the music. I love all of our other Leap Frog products, but this is not one that I would recommend.

EXCELLENT TOY
I puchsed this toy for my neice for Christmas and when I received it I was so impressed I bought one for my 5mth old. Its great for the crib and to take in her car seat.

Not as great as I'd hoped
Leapfrog has a great rep and we received this as a gift. I do think that my 14 month old son enjoys the toy - he claps when the classical music or color songs play, but he gets very frustrated because he can't easily press the sections of the caterpillar. I sometimes have trouble getting them to play - and I shouldn't. It also seems to have a slight glitch where the on/off button and the numbers button do the same thing sometimes - I am guessing it is our particular unit. In all, I think the concept of this toy is great, but it would be nice if it was more baby-user friendly.<br />

Best Value ever from Leap Frog
This has got to be the best value ever from Leap Frog. You get numbers 1 to 5 with cute visuals that go with each number. The plush is soft and easy to hold or squeeze. My 5 month old neice can't put it down. A must have. ... Read more

Love This Toy!!
This is one of the best purchases I have made for my daughter. I bought it based on the reviews that it got, and they were right on the money. My daughter loves it. I started putting it in her car seat at about 2 months. We don't go anywhere without it. This company knows what works. She actively plays with it. It is very durable and it is pretty big. Definately worth the money. Great company, great products. I own other Lamaze products and have had success with them as well.

Fun for Infants
We got Puppysquuek as a shower gift since our nursery theme was dogs. I was so happy to get this toy, it was one of the first toys I introduced my daughter to. She enjoyed playing with him and looking at all the different colors patterns and enjoying his scent....all these toys stimulate all 4 senses I believe.

Now my daughter is almost 18 months old and Puppysqueek, sadly, has been put up due to the fact she no longer finds him as stimlating as her other toys. But boy we were sure happy to have him as long as we did.

Pupsqueak is a must have!
This toy has it all. My daughter has loved this toy from the start. She is now 4 months of age and Pupsqueak goes everywhere with her. Her favorite part is the crinkly ears. The squeaker is great for distracting her when she is crying. And the bells in the feet are just now beginning to get her attention. I believe every child should have one of the Lamaze Learning Curve toys. I have read the reviews for the other toys and it appears that they are all as wonderful as this one.

Keeps baby entertained in the carseat
This was the first toy that my baby tried to "grab" so this is a special toy. Baby was very attracted by its bright color and the crunchy sound when the ear's squeezed. At first, baby loved to grab/pump its paws and the dog bone, but when he started teething, he loved to gnaw at its ears and the plastic ring. Now that he's 8 months, I keep this toy in the carseat and the puppy keeps him entertained and QUIET.

Great Toy!
My 8 week old loves this toy! The bright colors really attract his attention and it makes diffent noises depending on how it is handled. The link on the top can be attached to the stroller to keep it from being airborne while strolling through the park! ... Read more

Whoozit is a favorite!
My infant loves this product. The whoozit is colorful, sqeaks,and rattles when shaken. It also has a mirror under his nose. The product has firm and soft parts on his "arms" and also has key hole openings on 2 arms (easy for holding). The Whoozit meets several criterias for growth and development. It has different tactile parts/shapes, a mirror, sqeaks, rattles and is soft. The whoozit is a favorite.

one of my son's favorites
My son got this when he was born but it wasn't until about 4 months that he paid any attention to it. He is 7 months now and he still plays with it. Once he began teething it became a favorite.

I definitely recommend it!

A Must Have
My daughter loves this toy. I had initially purchased the Baby Whoozit as a fun portable toy, and she loved it so much I bought her the big one for home. She loves to laugh at the face, and play with the rattles and squeakers. The hanging toys are also great teethers, and she enjoys chewing on them.

Wonderful
My son received 2 of these for Christmas, and he's now 6 months old and this is his favorite "buddy". The colors on this toy are very vibrant and the rattle noises get his attention. It's easily washed, and we take this toy everywhere. Even on his short wagon rides. This is a recommended buy for your babies.

Not worth it
I bought this toy for my first daughter when she was an infant because it had such great reviews. I was very disappointed when she paid it no attention at all! She never played with it, not once. It was a very big waste of money, we ended up giving it away to a pregnant friend, maybe her baby would like it. All in all, I was not impressed. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The Busy Bug Stroller bar is a portable stroller bar andactivity center for the baby on the move. The colorful soft cloth mainbar is 15 inches long by 2 inches in diameter; Velcro bands allow foreasy positioning in front of your baby on almost any stroller, swing,or infant seat. There are five activities, including a twirling bug, abumblebee atop a twisty plastic stalk, and a crunchy-sounding clothbutterfly. The most distracting feature might be the removable,dishwasher-safe snack cup in the center, which has a flip-up,bug-decorated lid for hiding (or revealing) snacks. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Doesn't fit stroller trays
I could not use this toy with my son's stroller because it would not attach properly to the tray. The only way I could get it to fit made the toy fall forward and he couldn't play with it. I would not recommend this toy with the Graco strollers that have a tray. It will not fit!

Great if it would stay upright
I have tried this stroller bar on several different strollers and have had limited success. On the umbrella stroller it was so close to my son's face it kept hitting him in the nose. On my travel system, the straps barely fit around the child tray, and the bar kept falling forward so my son couldn't get to the toys. He loves it anyway, I just wish there was a way to attach it so it would stay put!

Doesn't fit on Graco Quattro Tray
I rated it average for everything since I never actually got to use it with my almost-four month old baby girl. It would not fit on the stroller tray and I returned it... I don't know why they still sell this thing if it doesn't fit on a tray... but I'm sure it would be great for a shopping cart or a stroller with a bar.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
My son LOVES this toy. I read some reviews saying that people can't get it to work on their stroller because of the tray. We have a brand new Evenflo stroller and that tray is removable so that there's just a bar there. If your stroller doesn't have a stroller bar, then don't buy a stroller bar toy.

I love going on walks and my son used to get antsy. This toy buys me SO much more time. He's 11 months old and still loves it. I would HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

didn't fit on my Graco stroller
I bought this before my daughter was born and it didn't fit on her stroller, carseat, or anything else she had. I don't know how well the velcro would hold if I did get it to fit on something. I could see how the snack cup would not be left in it place.

She has played with it just on the floor but because she has toys to play with on the floor that are made to play with on the floor we gave it away.

My daughter is 9 months old and we have not used a stroller toy at all. She never gets bored just going for walks in the park and through the mall. She likes to look around at different people and different things. ... Read more

Cool
I got this as a shower gift and my son loves it. I have it hanging over his changing pad, and we change it from the sun to the moon at night and back in the morning. He's 4 months old now and he loves to coo and squeal at it. And he gets really excited when he can grab it and put it in his mouth! Yummy.

Favorite toy!
This is the BEST toy!!! My son has loved it from day 1! He's now 11 months and I still keep it in the car and use it for the stroller - he never tires of it! I now buy it for everyone I know expecting a baby! Great toy! The only problem was the squeaker in the green circle stopped squeaking.... but, my son still loves it! I highly, highly, highly recommend it!

just echoing: great toy but...
We keep Celeste exclusively in the car as a travel friend. The only problem is that for some reason the green arm's squeaker stopped making noise after only a few weeks; I'm not sure why. Otherwise it's still a hit. The stretchy arms are great to hang from the car seat handle b/c their motion kept Baby's attention. Unfortunately he's now in the bigger seat w/o a handle, but he still loves having Celeste as his car toy.

The color will catch your babies attention
My daughter has loved this toy from day 1. I attatch it to her changing table, car seat, stroller. She loves the bright yellow color and all of the dangling toys that make sounds and have different textures. She is now 5 months and still loves this toy. Plus when you flip it over onto the other side it turns into a moon and stars. She goes crazy for this toy

She loves it!
I don't have anything else to say. My baby loves it and that's that! ... Read more

In The Way Duckies
I bought this for my son's carseat, so that he may have somehting to play with as we drive. The problem with it is that his carseat is the overhead kind, and the bar is too large for the toy to fit around. I have pulled it to the side, so that it fits. Also, it is in the way of my mirror that I have on the back seat so that I can see him in my rear-view mirror. He loves the toy, and it keeps him entertained, but it has a couple flaws that can easily be fixed. The band that goes around the bar, needs to be made longer, and if the duckies were spaced a little further apart, my line of view would be just fine. Overall, my son really likes the toy.

very fun for the little fingers
well I go this toy for my six month old son because he like to be in his stroller. and well he was getting boared with the toys you can clip on the stroller, so I saw this toy and I knew i had to have it for him, so i bought it and well he love playing with the hanging links that come with it, so he is no longer boared in the stroller now. I would suggest it to other parents.

Just what I was looking for
I wanted something for my 5 month old son's swing and stroller that wouldn't slip out under the tray or obstruct his view. This toy is perfect and a great price. It straps on tight to the trays on both the stroller and swing. My boy loves to bang the hanging toys around, or work his two new teeth on the baby ducks' soft heads and crinkly wings. When he's done playing, he can lean back or turn away without anything still hanging in his face. Best of all, the noise factor is really low. The music Mama Duck plays doesn't last too long, so your and baby's ears aren't under constant attack. This is definitely one of the best toys I've bought.

Doesn't fit on strollers
My daughter loves the toy however the velcro peice that attachs to the stroller is not long enough if the tray is on and too big if the tray is off. We eneded up having to sew an extra peice of velcro on to make it fit. ... Read more

Good toy
My daughter (now 8 months old) seems to like this toy. She still isn't able to pull the lines through the knot block by herself yet but she definitely enjoys chewing on it and throwing it around. Caution to parents with infants with "spastic arms": This toy can land a pretty good blow to the noggin so be careful. :-)

Plenty to mouth and explore, Great for the car seat!
I bought this for my baby's car seat because it has a lot of things on it but doesn't take up as much space as other car seat activity packed toys. My baby loves chewing the star, the "entrails" on the ball (that jingles), and the rings. It has many textures that are also fun to mouth and the triangle crinkles and the other star squeaks, but my baby hasn't figured that out yet. It doesn't captivate her as a floor/play time toy, but it keeps her happy and entertained enough in the car seat where there isn't much else to do.

A new mom
My daughter absolutely loves this toy. We bought it for her when she was 2 months old. She is now 5 months old and she still loves to pull on it, touch it, and put it in her mouth. She is fasinated by each part of it. We keep it in her diaper bag and always make sure that it comes with us. It is a great toy to keep her busy. I highly recommend this toy to all new moms.

He keeps him entertained.
My son has loved this toy since he was 3 months old. He's 8 months old now. It's a really good chew toy because of all the different textures. The major complaint I have about this toy is that it's hard to wash. I check it constantly to make sure no crud has accumulated.

My son's favorite toy
My son is a very quiet and observing baby (now 7 months). This has been one of his favorite toys since we gave it to him at 3 months. He is just not starting to play with the sqeaker and pull the cords, but he has been able to chew on it helping his teething as well. Overall, this is a well-rounded toy that I think will be his favorite for a long time. ... Read more

She loves her "Whoozy"
Two words...Love him! I had heard a lot about this toy but thought he was a little scary looking. I bought it anyway and a love affair was created. He is the best for trips. He attaches easily to high chairs and the car seat with a set of plastic links. He is easily washable (I throw him in the washer). Currently my daughter loves to chew on him and try to squeak his nose. He's also the toy that all the other kids want to steal. I think he will be my standard baby shower gift from now on!

Another note: My daughter giggles and giggles when I hold him upside down and make him "dance". That is a huge selling point to me as I think it is the best sound in the world! (...)

Fabulous!!!!
I love this toy, but more importantly, my baby loves this toy. We got it for her when she was 3 months old, and she has loved it ever since. I proceeded to buy almost every toy in this line because she loves it so much! My daughter, now 10 months, loves to play and chew on the hanging things, and she laughs at the face. It is also very portable, and is small enough to bring anywhere. It can be attached by the loop and velcro to almost anything. An absolute must for any baby!

I LOVE this toy!
We bought this toy for our son before he was born, he is now two. It holds up in the washer AND dryer, and it was so loved that it's colors have faded. We live in FL, so I'm sure the sun had a little to do with that. When our son was 3 months old, he had to see a nuerologist (sp?), and this toy was in our son's hand. The Doctor was very interested in this toy, he was very impressed with it and asked where he could get several of them for his patients(guess he hasn't been in a toy store lately!). The diferent textures, teething bits, the hidden mirror under the squeaky nose, along with the bold black and white pattern on the back just keep thier little hands and minds busy! Baby number two is on the way, and we'll be ordering a new one!

Baby picked it out!
My daughter picked this out when she was 3 months old and we were shopping. I kept holding up toys to her and this is the one that grabbed her attention! She's now 6 months old and loves it even more. I use a toy link to hook to her seat belt in between her legs in the car seat. (The velcro loop doesn't hold well.) She loves to put all the different shaped arms in her mouth. We love it!

The little toy that could...
This is an awesome little toy. I was first introduced to this little guy with my first set of twins. They loved it!!!! My next daughter loved it just as much as the first two, but the real test came recently with the next set of twins. This toy truly is the little toy that could (could make everyone happy that is). It's everyone's favorite, and it has been very durable. I do machine wash and dry it. But now that we are back to two babes around the house I am planning on buying a couple new ones, just to make sure they have one to love.
I highly recommend this toy for any baby, because it's easy for little hands to hold, and mouths to chew on. ... Read more

My son loves this toy!
I bought this for my 5 month old for Christmas and he just loves it. It is so sensitive that he can easily make it light up and play the music on his own. I read the reviews about the music being loud and I am inclined to agree that it may be a bit on the loud side but it makes my son giggle so much when he hears the music play, that I cannot complain. He does hit it in the middle of the night and the music over the monitor wakes us up but never seems to disturb him. The music is a nice improvement on this toy but if I could add a constructive comment, it might be a good idea for Hasbro to make the toy with a feature that allows the sound to be turned off by a switch so that it just glows at those times when the music is not wanted.

Loved it at 3 months old!
My daughter received this for Christmas, when she was 3 months old, and fell in love with it instantly. We sometimes wondered if she thought that the Gloworm was alive. She truly enjoyed the many songs and the happy lit face of Gloworm. She is now 14 months old and although she took a break from him for about 3 months, she's enjoying him once again. Now, though, she is able to hug Gloworm herself. I highly recommend this toy for any newborn!

AWESOME
My 8 month old daughter LOVES this toy. It'll stop her mid-scream. I bought it a few months ago and she's so cute with it. She kisses it and looks lovingly into it's eyes. I highly recommend it.

Great Toy
This was given to my daughter as a gift when she was 2mths old, and she loves it! It is really easy for her to activate, and it's an instant cry-stopper. However, I do agree with the other parents where it doesn't play the songs long enough. Right now her batteries are low and it sounds pretty creepy. You've got to keep batteries at hand with this toy.

Love it
We brought this for our daughter who isn't even a month old yet and she loves it. If she gets fussy all we have to do is squeeze it and her eyes widen and she just watches it. The only bad thing is that it doesn't play the songs for very long before it shuts off and you have to squeeze it again. ... Read more

My son got bored after a couple minutes.
I bought it for my son thinking he would like it. Wrong. It is a pain to try to attach it to his car seat. When I finally got it attached he just tried to kick it off. Now it is somewhere in my house collecting dust.

We love this!
There are 7 babies in my family (including my own and my bros and sisters) They include two sets of twins. We've been using this toy (and the earlier edition and link a doos addition) for all of them. We've passed down them and bought more over and over. My 7 month old daughter LOVES this and I love that I can turn it on for her. My neighbor has triplets and they all three love this toy! (They're 2 years now)

I highly reccomend this toy for babies who fuss in the carseat or any other!

Fun and Cute for baby-but one problem......
I just bought this item yesterday for my 6 mo old son. This toy actually requires an additional 3 "AA" batteries to operate (also the 9 volt for the remote control). It has been baby tested and he even plays with it in his highchair, on the floor (basically, the useage goes beyond the car seat or stroller). One little problem so far..... After installing brand new batteries for initial use; I kept pressing the yellow horn (the power was switched on) numerous times before it finally turned on. I may have a defective toy, but it seems pretty difficult to hit the horn to get the toy to start (blinking lights, music, etc). The toy actually will keep playing after taking a moments break for up to 2 hours before it stops (then you or baby have to hit the yellow horn to get it to start again). There is a label on the front of the toy giving a brief explanation of this. I will wait before attempting to exchange this toy for a different one, as it just may be how the toy operates normally. Otherwise, this is was a great purchase! The activities for baby are limited to watching the lights, listening to the music or horn, etc. and playing with attached linkadoos or the doggie. But it is bright and a really neat lap toy to keep him or her occupied in the car or elsewhere. Underneath the toy, has a strap that velcros closed (you wrap it around the crotch belt on the car seat) and two plastic white clips that you use to slip the harness seatbelt into. It is not meant to be a very snug fit (supposed to wiggle or move a bit on baby's lap). It seems very safe; the backside of the lap toy has a cloth flap that velcros closed (and underneath is the battery compartment (needs small phillips screwdriver to open) and has the on/off/loud switch)). Glad I bought it for baby!!

Fun in the car for everyone!
I bought this for my 3 1/2 month old daughter almost a month ago and she loves it more everyday! It has many different textures and colors for her to explore. Plus it has flashing lights and fun car sounds such as a honking horn, turn signal and the sound of tires stopping. It also plays music such as "the wheels on the bus" and about 4 others. The music and sounds arent too loud and the music actually is pretty easy on the ears.

Baby can watch the blinking lights, hear music and sounds and explore with her hands. Since this is part of the linkadoos line you can attach your other linkadoos to it. It does come with a linkadoo puppy attached. She can activate it by pressing on the center "stearing wheel" for a short song or MOM or DAD can press the REMOTE CONTROL to start it and stop it for them. When you activate it through the remote control the songs are longer in length.

I never thought I would like to listen to a musical toy but this one doesnt bother me. And the more important thing is she likes it. ... Read more

Fun for Mommy and Baby!!
I just bought this toy for my 7 month old son and he just loves it. It makes all sortsof little noises and has such bright colors. he loves to roll around on the floor with it and drag it wherever he goes. It's a little big to hang from his car-seat...but he still likes to have it with him in the car. I totally recommend this toy to anyone with an infant.

We love Stretch!
I bought `Mr. Stretch' several weeks ago to lively up the play mat for the now 4 month old I take care of. Her play mat was so boring and dull (it's by Carter's, the absolute worst play mat around, the colors are completely blah and non-exciting). I was going to go purchase `Hal the Horse', I recently bought that Lamaze toy for my 4-month-old cousin Isabel and she loves HIM. But when I saw Stretch, I fell in love with him and so did Hayley once I put her on the mat to play. She will play on there for a good hour, grabbing his legs and screaming with joy. The colors are just wonderful for her to look at, he has wonderful textures on both his legs and feet. She loves feeling all the ribbons around his feet, she just thinks he's the best! He's a definite winner and it stimulated her so much that she rolled over! She was determined to get to him and she did! Now she rolls over non-stop! Very highly recommended on my list (and the Tiny Love Gymini play mats are the best on the market if your shopping for one, definite no to Carter's or any of the others).

Parents beware
My 4 month old son has been playing with Max the last 4 weeks and loves to make it squeek (so it gets 3 stars for high entertainment value); however, this morning the monkey's orange tassel was laying in the crib just out of baby's reach (choking hazard!). The tassel is attached to the monkey by a small thread and can easily come off with normal play. I didn't inspect this toy as I should have because it was a Lamaze brand, but I've learned and will be more diligent in the future regardless of the name brand.

grandson's very first toy
Having several young grandchildren I've purchased a lot of toys--Lamaze brand being one of my favorites. Max was a Christmas present for our grandson Levi--who wasn't due until April. Levi started noticing Max at about 3 weeks and now at 3 months Max has become his good friend. I don't think he's as entertaining as some of the other Lamaze toys but the point is Levi loves him. I think its the bright colors, soft plush body and he really does have a cute face.So Max lives on the car seat and keeps Levi entertained for long periods of time in the car. He coos and giggles and talks to Max for as much as 20 minutes at a time, which isn't bad for 3 months old. Worth the money as are all of the Lamaze toys.

Possible choking Hazard (our experience with Max)
We bought Max for our daughter, several months ago, and at age 7 months, she enjoys Max. We check out her toys regularly to ensure that they are in good shape and nothing dangerous exists to our knowledge.

One morning we find her in her crib with Max in one hand and the banana in the other (she just turned 7 months) and the banana appears to be a size to cause a serious choking hazard. I am just so glad we caught things before they became deadly serious.

The banana is sewed on by thick thread, but somehow (we didn't put it in the washer or anything like that) the banana came loose from the toy and is the size (in our opinion) to cause a choking hazard - due to both its size and the curved shape.

YMMV - but Max and his banana need to go back to the drawing board to ensure that a more durable means of attachment of the banana is developed.

Ok toy
My daughter likes this toy, but I bought it to hang on her car seat. He is too big for that. He swings and hits her in the head. So she plays with it other places

Wonderful Toy from Birth on
We received Max as a gift and our son loves him!! He started cooing at Max at 8 weeks. We don't go anywhere without him. Our son is now 7 months and still loves Max. He likes the hard surfaces to chew on. I highly recommend this toy for any baby. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Here are three toys from Tiny Love to stimulate baby visually, tactilely, and aurally. Included inthis set is a two-headed bird that's bright red with white polka dots on one side and black with white polkadots on the other. It has big black and white eyes, two pointy red beaks, and black and red wings withsimple white flowers. Press the bird's tummy and he squeaks! There's a white key ring with a black ball ontop and three black, white, and red keys attached. The tops of the keys are hard plastic with raised letters(A, B, C) and checks, squiggles, and zigzags. The lower portions of the keys are made of white rubberyplastic that's perfect for teething. Finally, there's a black and white, hard plastic bear that rattles and has ared, rubbery plastic teether attached. All three toys come with plastic rings that facilitate attaching them toother Tiny Love products, such as the Gymini 3-D Activity Gym and the Activity Arch, or to a stroller orhigh chair. These wonderful toys will fascinate even the youngest infant, and they might just provide youwith a moment of peace and quiet! --Tami Horiuchi ... Read more

These are great toys even without the gym
I like these toys much better than the ones that actually came with the gym. They seem to be more designed to stimulate the child. The bear is a rattle and the bird squeaks. Right now, my 3 month old daughter likes holding on to the key ring and shaking it.

My baby loves these!
My almost 3 month-old has been playing in his gymini for over a month already so I bought these to add to it. He hasn't been that interested in the bird yet but he loves the keys and the teddy bear rattle. The keys have taught him to grab and hold on for the first time, before he was just batting at things.

Safe and fun
My daughter really enjoys the keys. The bear, as many have said is just too hard to grasp, though. Because many other reveiws spoke of the bird being boring, I attatched it to my babys car seat thinking it might actually lull her to sleep in the car. Not so! This in the first toy that she reached out and got hold of! It took me two weeks to realize that it beeped when you sqeezed it. Don't disregard it because it seems boring to you (as it does to me!) It is easy to grasp, bright and soft. In other words, perfect for baby. Overall, I would have to say that this is a good investment although I wish the bear was more useful. Maybe when she gets older.

I hope this was helpful!

Great Toy
This toy is cheap in price and keeps my 7 month old entertained for long periods of time. The toys are great to bring to restaurants to hand them off to him one at a time as he gets bored.

Could be better
I bought this set to add to my son's activity gym. I expected a little bit better value for the price. My son absolutely LOVES the keys but the rattle is oddly shaped and difficult for him to grasp and he found bird toy to be just plain boring. ... Read more

We can't leave home without it!
My 10 month old loves this dinosaur. His 4 year old brother picked it out for him about 2 months ago, and he's been obsessed with it ever since. His favorite part is the ribbons on the tail, although he does play with other parts of it as well. It has so far proved to be very durable, and still looks like new after 2 months of being toted everywhere. It is currently attached to the carseat with Link A Doos (clipped to the seat belt guides that he won't need for several years yet). It should be noted that it is not machine washable, however. It would be nice if it could be thrown in the wash, but so far surface washing seems to do the trick. Everything Owen has gotten on it thus far has wiped right off with a damp cloth, even if I didn't get to it right away. I'm not sure how long that will last, though. I would have rated it 5 stars if it was machine washable, and maybe a few dollars cheaper. This is more than I would normally spend on a toy. Overall, though, I am quite pleased with this toy, and might buy a few of the other animals to give him some variety. ... Read more
