Manhattan Toy Skwish Natural Rattle and Teether Grasping Activity Toy

My mother n law insists it is not safe with the wooden balls being glued onto the ends. My baby loves this toy though and he is 4.5 months old. I put it on his shelf in his room because she insists he will choke .

First of all, we bought the natural one over the painted one so we could avoid the unknown toxins in the paints. That this boringly natural version also has (a potentially more toxic?) a finish makes this choice seem idiotic. However, what would lead me to recommend against this toy is that our baby is completely disinterested in it. She only has 4 toys: a Sophie giraffe doll, a Born Free flower teether, a Green Sprouts wooden rattle, and this. The other three are all loved, but this is never even looked at by her. It is not really conducive to playing with. Get a ball or gyroscope, instead.

I bought this for my youngest grandchild, and I wish I had bought it sooner. It is perfect for any childs first year and probably will be loved and played with even longer. My little-grand-one has a big brother who might have sat on it or stepped on it, so it is out of shape now. The rattle sound is soft and soothing, and the skwish makes it a fun toy. Its lightweight.

One of our babys best and first toys!

Our daughter loved this toy but one of the knobs fell off the end. I hated to take it away from her, but Im worried now that it isnt safe. I dont know if there is any nontoxic glue that I trust enough to fix it. I hate that, because she really enjoyed it!

Great toy! Not for teething though.

Over priced compared to other stores, but a great product.

The price on this item bounces around a lot. But I had the mulitcolor one for 10 years and all my babies loved it. Well fast forward and still having little ones I decided to get this calm colored one as everyone loves it. I love the look at it and its so lovely and it will hold up as long as our other one to last through six babies!!! But ... our little guy loves the bright one..... so this one although its calmer on mommys eyes... I think the babies love the color, but a seriously well made toy that I have never met a baby who didnt like it. A good value in a wooden toy. Also sometimes it gets shoved down and mishapen, but it always comes back to life. I love this toy!

Baby loves it

It was bigger than I expected? I’m not sure why but it seemed large to me when I opened the box. No matter though, my 3 month old LOVES it. He is just learning how to grasp things and this is very easy to get a hold of so he is so entertained by it. It’s very lightweight and soft for being made of wood. 10/10 would buy again :)
