Bright Starts Tug Tunes - Bug

My 7 month old absolutely loved the purple elephant tug toy. It was her favorite toy. Until today when she had one of the little dangling feet in her mouth and somehow inhaled it. The string to the foot is long enough that the ball of the foot was way in the back of her throat. SCARY. Thank God my husband was there. I almost threw the whole thing away but I know how much she loves it so I just cut off all the legs.

The music in the Bright Starts Tug Toys (both the pig and bee) is great! Not annoying at all; actually pleasant to hear from the back seat of the car when my little girl pulls on the handle while in her car seat. However, I've gone through 4 of these toys in the past 7 months! The batteries die soooooo quickly! I wrote the company and asked them to either make the batteries last longer or make it so the batteries can be changed. I even had my husband dissect one to see if it was easy to change the batteries, and it's not. I'm debating on whether to buy a 5th Tug Toy for my daughter....she just likes it so much. It's such a shame when a nice toy can't last more than a couple of months due to batteries!

The hind legs pop off very easily. My 9 month old daughter just reached up and popped one off, then happily popped the foot into her mouth. She was in her carseat, playing quietly, and if she had choked, I might never have known. We got home and I had to fish it out of her mouth.

When I complained to the company (Kids II/Bright Starts), they sent me TWO replacements I did not want or ask for. I tugged the hind legs on both of them, and yet another one popped off with a little effort; certainly less effort than an ever-stronger infant could exert. The other one seemed pretty solid, and the legs stayed intact even with stronger pulling. Seems random.

I snipped the legs off of all of them. BE CAREFUL.

All the music starts to die right around 3 months of use, but that's at least somewhat expected. I'd happily buy another if that was the only problem.

This was one of our daughter's favorite toys! However, we went through 3 of them in 6 months because of the poor battery life and non-replaceable battery. Disappointed the battery pack isn't replaceable.

My only issue with this toy is that once the batteries die you have to buy a new one.

There is no way to replace the batteries and they aren't exactly cheap.

My daughter absolutely loved these and we had to buy about four of them from

the time she was 4 months to 10 months old.

The battery life is horrendously short.
