Gund Sesame Street Elmo Holiday Sound Toy

This is cute but it was way smaller than it looked, I guess I should have read the specs, but I didn't. Cute toy, my daughter liked it until it got lost.

Zoobie Pet - Tama the Tortoise

I received this as a birthday gift for my 1 year old son. It is absolutely adorable! The colors are gorgeous, it's very soft and plush, and it's just plain cute! It seems very high quality and well made to me.

My daughter is 18 months old, and she's already loving this turtle. It's a stuff animal and a blanket that she can take everywhere she goes.

My daughter got this toy for her baby shower. She's only 5 months but loves it. The blanket zips inside of the animal so it's very hard to lose. Also it has straps so you can hook it on anything. GREAT for the stroller.

Gund Gus Bear

As always, Gund products are well-made and so darn cute. Being a child at heart I could not resist this purchase. (My cat seems to like Gus too-pretty funny!!),

This bear was purchased for my, then, 2 month old. It has been our own family tradition to get each baby(3) their own Gund teddy bear; this one has so much character and is small enough for him to hold onto.

Fisher-Price Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage

I bought this for my 9 month old and it is a big hit! She discovers new things everyday and will play with it for quite awhile. I think she will even like it better later! I do have one small minor complaint--the mirror scratches VERY, VERY easily--I cleaned with water and paper towel and the paper towel left faint scratches. It doesn't bother her, just me. Overall, I think this is a great toy!

My son is 16 months old and he loves this toy. The songs are upbeat and he loves dancing to them. Many activities to keep your little one entertained. This product can grow with your child. This is a very durable toy.

I saw this toy on television and bought it that day for my 12 month old. As soon as I got it home and set up, not only my one year old, but also my 3 year old began to play with it. They love it! Through pressing different buttons, my little one has learned more about cause and effect, and which button makes which sound. My oldest is learning to share more, and to help his brother when he can't figure something out. They pass the microphone between them, and dance and laugh for at least half and hour at a time. The only problem I had was setting it up. The screws would not fit into the hind legs, so it is missing 2 of the 4 it requires. Other than that, I cannot recommend this toy enough!

I bought this for my 6 month old daughter, who is now almost 9 months. She loved it immediately, and still plays with it for long periods of time. The buttons are easy to bang and push, and the mirror is a big hit. The songs are cute and I don't find them annoying.

My son got this for his 1 year old birthday and loved it. He especially likes to shake the microphone and bang on the keys on the front. This is very durable as he is rough with it and it still works perfect after 3 weeks. I also like that he can stand up holding onto it and the legs totally hold him. It has not tipped once!

Hape 1-2-3 Shape Sorter

The wood split within two week with normal/minimal use. I would not buy this again. Poor quality toy and not worth the price.

We got this for our niece. She loves it! I love the fact that the blocks down easily fall out because of the elastic band that goes across the "grab hole". We love to play with it together plucking out the blocks and putting them all back in through their appropriate color and shape. Sometimes she sits with it on her lap trying to stack the blocks on top of the sorter. Unlike the other comment, our 2 YO niece doesn't have a problem retrieving the blocks from the cage.

Mainly because my girl (18 months old) can't get the shapes out herself, so every time she plays this she comes to me to get the shapes out for her.

I do think It's made well we've had it for a few months now and it is still in a 'new' condition.

Rubie's Costume Deluxe Baby Bunting

This costume didn't fit my 3 month old baby very well at all. The fabric is thin and unflattering. The head piece was huge for a 3 month old, even though it states that it will fit 1-9 month olds. The picture is much cuter than the product.

So cute....the packaging says that it's a guppy but really a clownfish (or Nemo). A little difficult to get on but it is so adorable.

Buy Rubie's Costume Deluxe Baby Bunting Now

I bought this costume thinking it would fit my 6 month old son. He's 27 inches long and 16 lbs., and this barely fit him. His legs kept coming out because there was only a small velcro closure at the rear end of the costume (for easy diaper changes). However, the head portion was too big for him since his head is on the smaller side. It's a very cute costume, and we received lots of compliments on it, but it may not fit babies who are a little bigger than average.

This costume is super cute, but it's HUGE! If you have a newborn, there is NO WAY it will fit him/her. Our daughter is 4 months and it's way too big on her. The material isn't anything fancy, but she's a baby; it'll do. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, I just wish the costume was a lot smaller...

Want Rubie's Costume Deluxe Baby Bunting Discount?

I bought this for my 6 month old for Halloween. Since the size was 0-9 months, I thought we were in the clear. Wrong. The body of it was too short. My son's legs wouldn't even fit in it, and he is in the 50th percentile (not an unusually tall baby). The hat was WAY too big and kept turning around so he couldn't see, and the eyes of the fish were in a weird position. Instead of a clownfish, he looked more like a tadpole. And the arms were way too long. I had to constantly push the sleeves back so he could get to his hands. I don't think my child has an odd shape, so I have to assume this costume was the problem! He looked very awkward in this costume. I wouldn't recommend it.

Itzy Ritzy Snack Happens Reusable Snack Bag, Hoot

I bought these to help reduce waste when we do things like amusement parks as a family. I bought two sandwich size bags and two snack size bags and have been incredibly happy with the quality. I have a friend who has reusable bags that velcro instead of zip and I must say, the zip feature really does keep in the freshness over the velcro. Highly recommend these bags!

I purchased this item to use for carrying a sack lunch to work and for my child to use for carrying to school. It is wonderful. It looks nice, it is easy to wash by hand or in the washing machine (you must allow it to air dry), and it is convenient and an eco-friendly alternative to plastic baggies or paper sacks. I love it and I am going to purchase a few more for our family.

Gund Curious George Dressed for a Birthday 14" Plush

My sons both love Curious George and for my older son's 3rd birthday, we presented him with this adorable stuffed "Birthday George". He loved it and it's super soft and cuddly. Very durable and well-made. We also gave him the Curious George birthday book so he loves reading that while having his new stuffed George close by! Great purchase! My 18-month-old son loves it as well. :)

My college-age daughter is a Curious George fanatic, so on her birthday George came dressed in his party hat holding a gift. He's cute, soft, and cuddly. He also makes a great addtion to a Curious George collection. No matter what the age, if a child either likes Curious George or other friends from the ape group, this toy is a lot of fun, created by a well-known company, and reasonably priced. Now remember, George is not a monkey. Monkey's have tails. George has curiousity.

Baby Monet Crib Toy

The toy is okay, nice music, nice sound effects. Baby likes the lights and bright pictures. The downside is that you have to mount it on the top of the rail, which means that the toy isn't interactive until your child can reach it easily when they turn their attention to other things quite quickly.

Munchkin Fresh Food Freezer Cups

Pricey for what it does.

Storage/space issues: For a cramped freezer or refrigerator, this 4-cup tray is fine. The oz., ml and tsp measurements etched onto the silicone cups could be useful. The uppermost marks etched on the sides of the cup are 2oz., 60ml. and 12tsp. For my 7-month-old who started solids only a month ago, these cups hold more than enough food for each meal; he only stomachs about 1oz of food after having his fill of breastmilk.

Storage uses: I've used these for defrosting and storing individual servings of pureed food that's been frozen in cubes. I haven't tried freezing food with these yet, but it is nice to know that I can. The Munchkin packaging recommends that you "remove lids and fill cups with baby food. Insert cups into tray and place tray in freezer. To thaw, let stand in refrigerator." It's not clear that you can screw the lids back on before putting the filled cups into the freezer. Maybe there's a concern that the expansion of the baby food in the freezer will cause the lids to pop out and wreck the threads. I don't know.

Cleaning/maintenance: For those lucky enough to have a dishwashing machine, these are dishwasher safe, top rack only. The three parts can be washed separately. The silicone cup easily pops out of the white collar, and the lid unscrews. Bits of food that somehow get stuck in the crevices can be cleaned off this way. The cup openings are wide enough for me to clean using bottle brushes, or soft sponges. As for staining issues, I've stored pureed avocado, parsnips, and butternut squash, and so far, the silicone, white collar and lids remain clear. When my kid moves onto beets, I'll update my review on the staining issue.

Transporting (i.e., any leakage?): The lids screw on tightly, very tightly if you want. There is an arrow (and the word "close") on the lid indicating how tightly you can screw the cup shut, but I never screw the lids on that much because I'd have a hard time unscrewing them back open. I've stored purees only in these so far. Nothing's leaked despite being lax about transporting them upright or across smooth roads.

However, there is a slight leakage risk: If you fill them with liquid only, the tight lids don't prevent leaks. I noticed they do leak a little bit when they're shaken vigorously. It looks like liquid seeps out when the silicone cup is not carefully positioned into the white collar (there are two tiny notches to guide the fitting of these two components). If you squeeze the silicone cups which is easy to do since the material is so pliable you could inadvertently cause the cup to detach from the white collar and thus, the liquid to leak.

Serving: These cups are about the right size for me to hold in one hand while the other hand spoons the food out or wipes away messes. They're soft and grip-able too, so if my baby had less of a knack for flinging things across the room, he might be able to hold onto these cups and feed himself without splattering his poor old mom. However, even if he were to fling these cups across the room, nothing would shatter. My heart might shatter at the sight of him throwing away the food I slaved in the kitchen to make, but that doesn't reflect on this product's construction.

Other notes on materials and construction: BPA free, and although I know the cup is made of silicone, the packaging doesn't say what the white collar or lid is made of. The silicone cups are clear enough for me to see what's inside and how much of it is left (or how defrosted the baby food puree is), although it would be nice if the lid had a clear window so I can quickly see the contents from the top. If you care about where this product was manufactured, this product is made in China.

Price: Minus one star due to the cost of this product. For this price, I wish these cups were entirely leak-proof or that they'd come in batches of six. Or both! The price is a major factor keeping me from buying another set right now. The other factor is I'm eyeing a similar product that will be released soon by OXO.

I don't usually write reviews but needed to for this product. I purchased 4 of these (16 cups total) to freeze my homemade baby food. This product is exactly what i was looking for. It's very durable (even in the freezer) and holds 2oz per container. When my son was 6 months old, I would use 2 feedings per container (1oz each). I thought purchasing 1oz containers was a waste since I knew I would eventually need 2oz per feed. Now that he's 7 months old, we use the whole container during a feed. Its plastic container is bendable so it allows you push and "pop out" the frozen food easily and store them in freezer bags. I have various food frozen in my freezer labeled in ziplock bags and when I'm running low on a particular fruit or vegetable, I whip up some more and freeze them in the containers again.

The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was because the food was difficult to pop out at times. Leaving them on the counter for 5 minutes solved this problem and when making 'thicker' foods like sweet potato, I felt it was difficult to clean after being frozen for a few nights.

I have tried many food containers and I'm most please with this one. One more note, make sure not to fill them too high because the lid will often freeze onto the food which makes turning the lid to open them difficult. :) Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to my friends! A great product for storing homemade baby food in the freezer or on the run!

Maybe a little expensive for my budget, but I'm very happy with my purchase! The size is perfect for baby's first foods, they close well, are easy to use and clean. The only issue I found is that some foods stain the silicone, so if it bothers you, keep that in mind. I've done it with carrot puree, the silicone yellowed. I can see tomatoes do it as well, in case you plan to use them to save your remaining tomato paste.

The shape and ease of use of these were fine for me, but they leave a strange taste with the food. I first thought we hadn't completely cleaned the dish soap out of them, as the food had a sort of soapy taste, but after scrubbing and rinsing them clean, all the food we store in them still has this taste.

Devil Duck

I love devil duckies. I have recently started collecting them because they come in so many unique colors and styles. My most beloved devil duckie has to be the tattoed/pierced devil duckie. It is a light tan duckie with a pierced horn and is covered in tattoos. This devil duckie is definitely the coolest with its pierced horn and tattoos. I love the web tattoo on the duckie's behind. On its right cheek is a little devil duckie tattoo with the number 13. Too cute. I think it truly embodies the rebellious spirit of the devil duckie brand. I may be an adult but I am also a kid at heart. Devil duckies aren't your average rubber duckies we all grew up with as kids. I don't think you need to be a kid to collect devil duckies.

Nice idea and well made and painted. However, they not well balanced so they are front heavy when floating. Takes some squirting to remove all the water inside of them.

Look great on the side of the tub!

What can I say? I am an oddball. I love rubber duckies. The more unusual, the better. My current favorite rubber duckie is the Yin Yang Devil Duckie. The picture of it is pretty self-explainatory. The black and white emblem on the chest of the rubber duckie is the yin yang symbol. Yin Yang comes from Chinese philosophy. Two seemingly opposite natural forces are entwined together. One can't exist or function without the other. In the case of this adorable rubber duckie, the two forces that are intertwined is good and evil according to the description. It is obvious that there is no educational use for this cute little critter but as a rubber duckie collector, he is a must have. He is too cute. If you love the devil duckie line like I do, Yin Yang Devil Duckie is a must have.

Taggies Naturals Organic Toy

I really searched long and hard for an organic stuffed animal that I could buy for my son. I was thrilled when I found this puppy. It is adorable; however, when we opened it, it was marked "made in china" and "surface clean only". If I had know either of these things before purchasing the puppy, I would not have bought it. If I am buying a stuffed animal for my son, it has to be able to go in the washing machine. We weren't returning it, so I decided to give it the washing machine test anyway, because he wasn't going to chew and suck on it without me being able to wash it. I washed it on delicate cycle in a delicates bag. It was a failure. Sadly, it did not wash well. The stuffing is all out of sorts which is why it is probably "surface clean only". I rated this two stars because I feel that stuffed animals that will be played with, carried around, dropped, hugged while sick, etc. should be able to be properly washed. I hope this review helps you when you decide if this is the right stuffed animal for you.

My son loves this puppy, but as the previous rater stated: YOU CAN'T WASH IT! After a wash it is all crumbled up on the inside. And why would you get a toy for an infant, that you can't wash. Specially for that price! I would have loved to give it 5 starts, but that was just a let down!

Tweeters Mobile by North American Bear Co. (3157)

This mobile is very pretty and my three-month-old likes to watch it turn, but the quality was not quite what I expected for the price. It is fine, but nothing special (it doesn't hang quite evenly, for example, and there are puckers in the fabric of the birdhouse). I could live with this, however, the music is VERY loud and tinny. It's so loud that I don't play it for my daughter when I want her to sleep b/c it seems to disturb her. Occassionally I will wind it up when I want to distract her in her crib but I was looking for something that would lull her to sleep and this does not quite fit the bill. I wish there were some way of just spinning the mobile without the music--she would enjoy that much more.

The birds on this mobile are cute, but I really ordered it for the novel tune. Finally something cheerful! No Brahams Lullaby! Then right away the music box that I bought it for didn't work! They eventually replaced it (almost a month in coming), and it now seems okay, but I don't think I'd buy from them again... I wanted something that could wind since it uses no batteries, but the way this mechanism works is disappointing. Try a different company perhaps...

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Dance And Play Puppy

My 20-month-old has (and loves) the original Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Learning Puppy. He's had it since he was a newborn and enjoys turning it on and dancing to the songs. This newer puppy looks exactly like the old one, except that it has a motor that makes it move around while it's singing. It also stands on its own and because of the motor isn't soft and cuddly like the original. Like the other version of this toy, this one sings a variety of toddler-friendly songs in a cute voice with upbeat background music.

I thought this toy would be a surefire hit, but unfortunately my son just isn't into it. I think this might be because the motor is so loud. Fisher Price made the music louder to compensate, but even so it's sometimes difficult to concentrate on the tune because you're so distracted by the motor. Every time I turn this on my son just looks at it and is like, "Whaa?" He'll ask me to push the button again, but he won't go near the toy himself and pretty much ignores it unless I purposefully draw his attention to it.

I love the idea behind this toy, but I think it must be difficult to install a higher-quality (read: quieter) motor while also keeping the price reasonable. If you're debating between this Fisher Price puppy and the original, my suggestion would be to get the original one. It's about $10 less expensive, is cute and cuddly and doesn't have a loud motor.

With a 22 month old daughter running around I jump at the opportunity to review new kids stuff.

The second I saw this toy on Amazon Vine I volunteered and what a great decision it was.

First of all the toy comes with batteries already installed. It's in the box pretty good and I have learned over the recent months to get the toy out of the box before my daughter see's it or there will be a wrestling/whining match to deal with. I'm getting pretty good at getting these kids toys out of the boxes now but I recommend a pair of scissors in case you're not.

The puppy doesn't have a name so my daughter named it Mario, which is kind of funny because it has a female voice. She sings ABC's and a couple of other fun little songs, she wiggles her butt, claps her hands and flaps her ears. It's actually pretty adorable. She doesn't walk, I'm not sure what gave me the impression that it was supposed to walk but that was disappointing to me, it has no effect on my daughter who was just excited to see it dance and sing.

It does make a lot of noise as far as the mechanics are concerned. Though they aren't louder than the toy they do remind me of the old Terminator movies which is kinda weird. But my daughter "Mia" doesn't seem to mind at all and will carry "Mario" around the house, set her down and dance with her for a bit. The puppy also instructs the kids on how to interact with it which is pretty cool to see. The first time the puppy said "clap your hands" and started clapping my daughter squealed, started tip toeing around and clapping her hands. Did I say it was adorable already?

The toy does have a volume control on one of the feet, thank you FP! With the same control you can turn her off completely. So you've got loud, quiet and off.

It's not really very loud to begin with but adults will get tired of the songs before kids will so it's nice to tone it down a bit.

Another cool little feature it has is that if the puppy has tipped over and you press one of it's activation buttons it will only say "Uh oh" or "ooopsie!" and then giggle. Which is also pretty cute.

Despite it having moving, mechanical parts and electronics it seems to stand up to quite a bit of abuse. While my daughter isn't a particularly abusive child, the toy has been drug around by the ear, laid on and knocked over in frantic dance fests a few times now.

So in short my daughter loves this toy and interacts with it a lot. I waited a month before I wrote this review to make sure I wasn't just giving you the initial "I love any toy ever... for 2 hours" response that most kids have. No she still loves it and carries it around the house.

One quick warning, some kids don't react well to electronic toys. I've actually seen a friends kid be terrified of a "Tickle Me Elmo" back when those were the hot thing. You might want to experiment with a small, less committal electronic toy before you pop the big dancing puppy down in front of them. Nothing makes you feel worse than getting a toy that terrifies your child. No matter how cute it is, sometimes they just don't like em.

This puppy is so much fun. He dances. He sings. He claps. His ears go up and down. More importantly, my 18 month old grandson loves him. He plays with him ALL the time. Luckily, I'm a grandma so it doesn't get on my nerves. HA. HA. My revenge. My grandson carts him everywhere and probably isn't as gentle as he could be. Others have complained that he isn't as cuddly as he could be but that works out fine with my grandson. He has cuddly toys and this is fine as an every day toy that can stand up to some tough play. The only quibble I have is the only interactive spots are the feet. I wish you could press his hands or his ears. It would be a lot better.

Still, any toy that can make by grandson so happy, is a worthwhile toy and one I would recommend.

This puppy is adorable and moves really well, it's better coordinated then most people. The volume of the songs are a little loud, but it definitely gets any babies attention. It sings and dances all day and the batteries are still going strong (takes 6 AA batteries which are included). I was also surprised about the sheer size of it... it's about 2ft tall and bigger than most babies. This puppy is popular wherever it goes.

Being a Fisher Price home, I knew my daughter would LOVE this toy! I saw the commercials when I received the product about a month ago and was so excited to try it out.

My daughter is now 1 and has been playing with this for about a month. First, when you get the toy, be careful removing it from the box. It has the hard plastic ties that are so tight and hard to get a good angle at; I feared I might cut myself or the toy removing it. Once I removed it, I wiped it down with a toxic free disinfectant wipe. The toy is open and exposed so I did not know how many hands had touched it from the factory, to warehouse, to shipping. You cannot remove the outfit on the dog so going over it lightly with the wipe I felt better since at my daughter's age, everything ends up in her mouth. Also inspect the toy for loose threads and fabric. On the back on the head the sewing is poorly done, almost in a zig zag and there is a lot of loose fuzz, like you would find inside a pillow. I removed it but there is still some sticking out and I did not want her grabbing it to choke on it. The outfit has a few loose threads, I just trimmed them.

Now to the toy, my daughter LOVES it. I let her play with it in her playpen or sitting on the floor. The toy is VERY sturdy, even on uneven surfaces. In the playpen it has not fallen over and on the floor it stays upright. When I saw the toy I thought the feet and hands were areas to press to get the dog to sing and dance, it is only the two feet. My daughter does have a hard time recognizing the feet are the only place you can activate the toy since the hands have bigger areas to push. I usually have to push it for her. Once on she smiles, laughs, and even dances to the toy. She is very intrigued by it and when I go through the feet where it dances, talks, and sings, she waits for me to press it again to see what is next. There is a great selection which keeps her interest.

I know this will be different for all ages but the toy is VERY hard (the plastic). I don't like leaving it in the playpen unattended because if she falls on it, it is hard! Under the toy's outfit it is so hard, I wish they added some padding to it but then the mechanics probably would not function as well. Speaking of the mechanics, this toy is loud and a little hard to hear since it is motorized and has to move. As mentioned before, I let her play with it during the day because at night she is a bit cranky and cries when it moves. She can hear the mechanics whirling and moving and it is loud.

Over all since she loves it I am giving it 4 stars. I take away one for the loudness, the loose materials and poor sewing, and also the fact that only the feet activate it.

I did want to mention, if you have seen the commercial or even look at the picture of the toy, it appears big. It stands only 13 inches high, not big or wide at all. Everyone who has seen it, the first thing they say, "That is a lot smaller than I thought it would be", they also comment on how hard it is.

I can tell she will play with this for a long time to come but as of now at her age, I am supervising her with it. She loves it so that makes me happy.

Added December 16, 2001: I do want to add the batteries do not last long. I have to factor that in. A few days ago I turned it on and put it on the floor for my daughter to play with. Every time I would push the foot to activate the dog it would start talking or dancing but then stop within a few seconds. I thought it was honestly defective. I figured if it were dead batteries it would be slow with the motion and words, not the case, it plays normally but then stops. If that happens to you just replace the batteries and you are good to go. This is the only toy that has done this. Others, again, you can tell the batteries are dying. Not on this, it still sounds normal, just stops. I wanted others to know in case they thought they might have a defective unit like I did, until I changed the batteries.

Take A Long Taggie - Special Delivery

My granddaughter would have loved this toy, but it was never delivered. Were supplies short? Was something missing in the address? I don't know because no one contacted me. I did get a refund which is great.

It was difficult to rate a product not delivered.(Survey flaw) Also could not post without a rating.

Early Years Pinwheel Stroll Along Toy

my son really likes thi toy but...it doesnt fit my peg perego pliko p3! i kind of tie it to stroller but the velcro keeps sliding off! im constantly checking to make sure it didnt fall off the stroller!

I have theThe First Years Wave Stroller, Urban Life (which I absolutely love!), and I bought this toy to attach to the stroller bar. What a great buy!!!

This pinwheel is very colorful, and spins easily with a light push or swat from my 7 months old (we've had it since he was approx. 3 months old). The "leaves" crinkle, and the "blossom" has little colorful plastic beads in it, so that every push sends them spinning around, creating a rattling sound. There are also 2 stars around the "petal", that baby can move up and down.

When my baby was 5 mo old, he would just grab for the wheel and try to put it into his mouth. Now that he's a few months older, he purposefully swings at it, and has a blast when he sees it spin. This is a great toy that keeps my little one entertained during stroller outings. (I also have the Selecta Mia Mah sheep and Pia Iah Donkey, which my baby loves just as much).

Overall: Great buy, especially for the price a fantastic deal! I have gotten so many compliments on this toy. My husband just wishes it was a little bit more "boyish" (he feels something along the lines of a steering wheel would be more appropriate needless to say I love it the way it is!). But even he will make sure to take the pinwheel on outings, since baby loves it so much!

Btw: This also fits around the bars of a baby activity gym for baby to swat at.

Buy Early Years Pinwheel Stroll Along Toy Now

Before you buy this product, make sure that there's a bar going across the seat in front of your child. This toy is designed to wrap around a teeny tiny bar, and I don't even know if they make strollers like that anymore. We have three strollers for one child, made by three different companies, and this toy doesn't work on any of them. I'm still trying to figure out where I can use this toy.

This pinwheel is really colorful and cute. It spins easily when my 8 month old son plays with it and he likes the beads around the stem. We have a Chicco Cortina stroller and the pinwheel does not fit on it correctly, so my husband squeezed the pinwheel into the stroller tray joint to strap it on. The attachment is not ideal, but seems to be working okay.

My 4-month old daughter loves this pinwheel. It's soft, has no sharp edges, and keeps her entertained in her car seat for 20-30 minutes at a time. The bottom straps actually come in very handy at times -I've secured it to the handle of the car seat when it's in the carrier position, which is perfect when sitting in a restaurant booth, to let the pinwheel spin. She grasps the stem very easily and loves to gum the leaves of it. Nice small rattling sound from the center of the pinwheel as well.
