I was given one of these for my first child (now seven) and it quickly became one of his favourites, and would go wherever he went (in his rocker, his crib, his cot, his play gym, his car seat... etc etc) - he loved it from newborn through to the time he started walking. His sister inherited it and loved it just as much. It survived the rigourous attention and chewing of both kids, and when I finally got rid of all my baby things, it was still in really good condition. Shame I didn't have a crystal ball and know I was going to have a third baby!! But when he joined us two weeks ago, this was the first toy I bought him as it really sticks in my mind as being one of those classic toys that kids don't tire of. This one seems to be as good quality as the old one I had, although its spiral is a bit tighter (hopefully it'll loosen over time). My newborn is showing a lot of interest in the mirror and the spiral / face in particular, and the chime has a lovely gentle sound that doesn't jar like a lot of other little baby toys.
