Manhattan Toy Winkel Rattle and Sensory Teether Toy, 1 - Pack

After some months of use by my now 11 month old, I can confidently report this (along with Sophie La Giraffe) is the 'holy grail' of teething products. Why? First of all, it's interesting to look at and doesn't just resemble the hundreds of other teethers or toys out there. This keeps my little man fascinated, however long he's had it - and he's a fussy little customer, who bores of other toys quickly! The intricate weaves tube design in bright colours is instantly attractive, and the design means whichever angle he approaches from there's something to easily get in his mouth. So that's him happy but, more practically speaking, this also gets two big ticks in the 'love it' column from my point of view - firstly, we discovered it is safe to go in the dishwasher. Hallelujah! It gets so tedious wiping down toy after teether after toy, and many of his other favourites are most definitely not dishwasher-proof. This saves time and effort - much appreciated in times of sleep-deprivation (aka teething). Second 'Mummy' tick - I can take the dummy attachment off my many MAM dummy straps and instead Velcro them around this. Voila! It can now be fastened to my son / his high chair straps / car seat / buggy, meaning I'm not constantly bending down to retrieve it (awkward as I'm now expecting our second little boy)...and that we don't have to take advantage of it's suitability for the dishwasher more often than necessary! Happy baby, happy parents = great value for money. Will be used again by our second little product tester. Only negative - the 'rattle' in the muddle rarely actually rattles, right from day 1 whatever is inside has seemed to get stuck, meaning only an occasional sound. Odd, but he's not that attracted to rattles, so no big deal for us. Overall, a brilliant buy - go get one folks!

Brilliant toy. I bought this when my little man was about 4 months and starting grab things. He struggled to get hold of lots of his other toys and would get really frustrated. He found this much easier as the loops were small enough to grasp, the toy light enough to lift and lots of 'opportunities' to get hold of it when coordination isn't great. We now take this to the pool as it floats and he can reach out and grab it a lot easier than say a ball or duck! The plastic loops are quite soft and flexible so if he hits himself in the face it, it doesn't seem to hurt. Rattle isn't super loud but I don't think that's such a bad thing. It's loud enough for baby to hear but quiet enough to not be annoying. Would recommend.

My son is now 14 months old. He could hold his Winkel at about 6 weeks, and was always interested in it. It has become a favorite in my family, being passed on from one baby to the next. I bought several for friends with babies. Also, it helped my niece who was born prematurely and had low muscle tone. This was really easy for her to grasp and the bright colors motivated her to reach out and hold it. Recommend this for all babies, ages 1-8 months. Wonderful toy!!! Since purchasing this, Manhattan Toy company has found a special place in my heart, home and gifts. My son LOVES all their products. They are fun, imaginative, creative, high quality and developmental. Visit their website, you will find a plethora of beautiful toys for babies, toddlers and young children!

I think my girl likes this. She can easily grab it and bring it to her mouth where she promptly starts to shout loudly at it. Good toy, the jingle noise it makes isnt annoying which is a big bonus where child toys are concerned.

Just a great toy, great to have in the bag for going out. Surprised at how long entertained baby, particularly between 7-9 months. Does take up room, but very easy to clean and great for teaching passing item between hands, very easy for baby to hold

This was a great purchase after all! I found my baby to interact with this toy more than most other toys I have bought. There's a few reasons why: first, there are many areas the baby can grab the toy (the multiple rings). Then there is the ability for my baby to bite the rings, which is great for his teeth and gum development. Finally, there is also a rattle in the middle, which grabs his attention. I find my baby likes to fiddle and get involved with the toy more than others! Highly recommended.

This really is a fantastic little toy/teether. Bought lots of toys (including the infamous Sophie which my daughter has no interest in what so ever) and this seems to be the only one she will entertain. At first I thought the price of it was quite steep at £9.99 but she really has got her use out if it. Great for small hands to grasp. Lots of bright colours and rattle in the centre to keep them entertained. One thing to note would be that the loops are plastic (they look like rubber in the picture) but are still soft, my little one smacks herself in the face with this quite often and it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Would reccomend.

Uno de los mejores juguetes que he podido comprar, puesto que es muy fácil de agarrar

This is one of the first toys my baby ever gravitated to. The colors, rattle sound, and lightweight design is perfect for little ones and provides great entertainment. It’s a durable little thing! My daughter is now two and this toy has been used through all stages: hand grip, bilateral coordination, hand eye coordination, teething, playing/shaking, and in the past year or so: learning the names of colors! It’s in great shape even after years of being loved on, thrown, chewed, and played with. I loved it as a travel toy when she was younger. It’s the easiest toy to clean and is one of the best toys she’s had. I’d recommend this toy for anyone who has a baby! It’s worth every penny.

Perfect toy for babies starting to discover their motor skills. It is colorful, light, easy to hold and even taste.

Mijn dochter is gek op de kleuren en probeert dit speelgoed op allerlei manieren in haar mond te stoppen.
