Have had this since my baby was born and it was one of the first toys she really responded to by holding onto the wooden beads as it dangled in front of her. When she's teething she loves to chew on it, and prefers it to the proper teething products I bought her. She's 10 months now and she still plays with it and her Heimess dummy chain. I would agree with the other reviewers that the clips are weak but I always assumed it was a safety feature so if in the unlikely event a child should get tangled in it the clips would give way. One of my best baby buys.
