Gund Winkie Waggie Key-Wind Musical Lamb

The first Winkie we received as a gift for our then-newborn daughter. After a few months, the key-winding device began to jam, making it appear as though Winkie was having seizures. We set the toy aside for a few months before our daughter located him and began unscrewing the key/winder. We remedied the situation (of both the jamming and loose key) by performing "surgery" to remove the musical device and key. Once Winkie "recovered" from his surgery, our daughter was disappointed that he no longer played music, but it was still her favorite toy. (She will not, under any circumstances, sleep without Winkie).

Given our daughter's affinity for the toy (and the fact that his formerly white down had turned a grayish color from all of the love), we purchased another as a back-up. Thank goodness for Amazon, because it was the only place I could find it for a reasonable price. Our daughter, 16 months at the time of receiving the second Winkie, was thrilled to find Winkie playing music. Unfortunately, the music didn't last long, as the musical mechanism broke within a week-and-a-half (same problem arose as with Winkie 1). Winkie 2 is currently in triage for another "surgery". Our daughter will be somewhat disappointed at the lack of music, but she absolutely loves this toy!!

While the musical apparatus is faulty, the toy is well sewn and he is a good size for infants/toddlers. Further, he's light-weight. Given that he's white, it takes a bit of elbow grease to get him clean (but prying him away from my daughter to clean him is another matter, hence his currently gray hue...).

My "Young Adult" daughter was thrilled to receive this as a replacement for one similar that she had as a tot.

She sleeps with it & was excited that its head gently moved in tune with the music just like her well-loved, though now tattered original 'lamby'.

I know I shouldn't write this while angry, but I am extremely disappointed with this toy and want to warn other parents not to buy it! I had a musical teddy bear as child and loved it, so I wanted to get something special for my 5-month-old daughter for Easter and this seemed to be the perfect gift-esp since I love the "Hush little baby" lullaby. Well, we've only had it one day and it's already broken. I've been VERY careful with it and even kept it high up on her dresser, but now it won't play the music for more than 2-3 seconds at a time. I have no idea what happened, and since we have nothing to loose, I'm going to attempt the "surgery" one reviewer mentioned and see if I can fix the music box or replace it with another. My musical teddy bear is over 30 years old and it still plays music (although you can't play with it anymore as the fur has worn away to just threads in some areas.) I am disappointed that Gund would put out such a poorly made toy. We have several stuffed animals made by Gund and they are all high quality (my 3-yr-old won't go to bed without her soft Gund teddy bear), so I thought this musical lamb would be equally great. Boy, was I wrong!

It's nice and soft but the lullaby only plays for like 5 seconds. Kind of defeats the purpose when you have to wind it over and over again... I'd rather buy a teddy bear and sing to my baby myself.
