I bought this for my 8 week old Son, he is very interested in all of the Lamaze high contrast items we bought including the Skunk knottie, the Racoon knottie, the Panda & Zebra rattles and the Penguin squeaker. He is, at the moment, unable to hold it himself but loves watching as me or his Daddy shake it for him, ringing the tingling bell inside which is usually rewarded by a big smile & a little gurgle. The noise made by this product is quite quiet but audible & a lot nicer on the ears than pther rattle type toys! The 'Knottie' has a loop at the top meaning it can be attached to carseats / bouncers / prams .etc. We have found these to be useful for this -
Lamaze Monkey Link SetOther reviewers have highlighted that the Lamaze range is not machine washable, but for the price, if my Son's ends up tatty I wound be tempted to try it in the machine on a gentle 'hand-wash' setting & if that goes wrong, for the price, I would just buy him a new one! I would recommend the Lamaze range to anyone with a new baby & will be ordering some more now I know my Son enjoys them so much.
