Pros
1) They can be hung from multiple places, including the car seat, bouncy seat, and swing.
2) Can be used as wrist rattles
3) Brightly colored, keeps my babies attention
4) They don't hang down too far, so they don't hit my baby in the face while they are hooked to her car seat.
Cons
1) The dragonfly is supposed to have beads in its tail that rattle. Unfortunately, the beads are so tightly packed into the tail that they don't rattle at all; also, there is a yellow mesh fabric that covers the tail so you can barely even see the beads. I had researched this product online first before buying and was under the impression that the beads were easy to see in the tail. I was very disappointed when I took this bug out of the package and it wasn't anything like how it was represented online. The beads may as well not even be in the tail, since they are pretty much non-functioning.
2) The dragonfly is also supposed to buzz and vibrate when you pull it down. It does, but it only buzzes/vibrates for a split second, not nearly long enough for my baby to even realize what's going on!
3) The grasshopper is supposed to rattle, but when I shake it, I can barely hear the rattle sound coming from inside its body. The ladybug is the only bug out of the three that has a nice chime sound that entertains my baby.
I'm glad I bought these, because my baby does like them. I just was a bit disappointed that they were different than what they were represented to be on the online information.
Read Best Reviews of Bugs On Board Here
My daughter loves her bugs on board. We bought them when she was born and have watched her develop with her bugs on board. When she was 0-3 months, she would stare at them passively. The high contrast and bright colors were good for her to focus as her eye's developed. Starting at about 4 months she developed the motor skills to hit and grab at the bugs on board.If you have a travel system, they are always with the car seat whether you're at home, in the car, in the stoller or even on an airplane. We traveled to three countries and bugs on board was attached to her infant seat the whole time. (We saw bugs on board for 3x the price at some fancy baby store in London). While its true, most infant car seat toys stay attached to the seat, bugs on board is small and soft so that you don't have to be concerned baby hitting hard plastic when taking baby out of the car seat, putting her in the car seat or in a car accident. [I'm talking about something the Baby Einstein Neptune Toy Bar]These Bugs are awesome. My son is 5 months old now and just loves them. They have very bright colors that keep the childs attention, and the wings make crinkle sounds and the bodies of the bugs are rattles. They wash very very well. I just threw them in the washer with his clothes because I had them attached to his infant carrier and he likes to chew on them. They attach with velcro and you can pretty much attach them anywhere. We are going to attach them to the stroller once he moves to a larger car seat. Great value for the entertainment.
