Fun, Fun, Fun!!!
I just purchased this toy for my daughter and she really likes it alot.She is 4 months old and can easily grab the handles and shake it.We have a lot of the Lamaze toys and her two favorites are this cube and Freddie the Firefly.I highly recommend it!

Favorite toy
My now 7 month old loves this toy. She has played with it since around 5 months and it hasn't gotten old yet. She plays with it in the car and in her crib. It is a great toy and doesn't make alot of noise.

My 8-month old absolutely loves this
She'll play with this toy for 30 minutes straight.It makes lots of little noises (not electronic) and has plenty of things to grab onto with little hands.I definitely recommend it. ... Read more

My baby's first toy
This was the first toy my little boy took any notice of.I have a very cute picture of him at 2 months old reaching out and discovering the crinkly wings.Now at 5 months, it's his constant companion in the car.He loves to feel the different textured wings, teeth on the rings at the bottom, or crunch the crinkly wings.
All of the Lamaze toys are great, but Freddy is my favorite so far.It may seem a little pricey at first, but you'll get more mileage out of Freddy than out of 5 other, cheaper stuffed toys. And as other reviewers have mentioned - he's machine washable, so you don't have to worry about him getting dirty.

Must Have!!!
This is a must have toy for your little one.I purchased this about a month ago and it is my daughter's favorite toy.It has to go everywhere with her!She is teething so Freddie is constantly in her mouth and I make sure to inspect him quite frequently and have not found any problems at all!!Defintely worth the money!

This toy is AWESOME!!
I bought this toy because it was so bright and colorful with a lot of different items to pull and play with.

My daughter LOVED starring at this toy ever since she was a month and a half old. This is definitely her favorite toy. Now at 3 months... she's constantly holding it in her hands and trying to "eat" it. haha.

I sometimes put it in her basinette when she's going to take a nap... so she'll have something to look at.

I LOVE this toy! I highly recommend it... even though it's pricey (almost stopped me from buying it) but it's well worth the money. ... Read more

Daddy likes this too....
My son Jacob has this toy and I probably enjoy it more than him.It's a musical instrument!It's a toy!It's both!I can enjoy playing "Mary had a little lamb" while he drools on it.(Well, he is 2.)Definitely a good purchase.

Very cute, but some room for improvement
Like other reviewers have noted, it's too hard for a baby to use, and definitely too heavy for a small child to pick up, but my 4-month old really likes to sit in my lap while I play it for him. It's awfully cute, and would be adorable even if it wasn't a musical toy. However, I nearly sent it back at first because one or two of the notes (legs) are tougher to get a sound out of (the higher notes). The yellow leg on ours has to be squeezed *just right* in order to sound the note, and even at that, it squeaks rather weakly. I also wish it had come with instructions for playing more than 2 songs. All in all, it's a cute toy.

So cute!
My daughter is 5 months old, and loves her octopus.She can't squeeze the legs to make music yet, but if we put it by her feet, she can kick to get the sounds going, and she laughs when she does it.She loves to hug it and stares at the colors-she also smiles at the happy face on the octopus.She cracks up when we make music with the legs...even though she can't play with it by herself, it's a great bonding toy for us to play with together. ...

Makes tummy time easier
My baby hated to be on her tummy, but all nurses insist it is critical in baby development.I would put this inchworm under her elbows and prop her up on it and she was much more comfortable.I also wrap it around her head as a head rest in her car seat.It's her most-used toy.She loves the colors and sounds it makes.

my son isn't very interested
My son has had this toy since he was 3 months old and has never been very interested in it.( he is now 9 months) You can barely hear the music it plays. That is the only feature I really don't like about this toy.

She's just not interested!
This is a cute toy, but our 6 month old has yet to be interested in it.Its large size makes it difficult to hold for small babies.I know it's gotten many good reviews, so I'll keep trying... just know that very young babies may not get much use out of it! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Think mirrors have to be kept well away from baby? Think again: This crib toy is a flexible plastic mirror with padded sides that will safely fascinate at any age. The mirror with its padded frame is ten inches by eight inches (visible mirror area: 7.5 by 5.5 inches), and attaches with two Velcro straps to a triangular foam cushion. It’s easy to use the cushion as a stand, or detach the mirror and hang it solo on the side of a crib. --Richard Farr ... Read more

The base turned out to be very interesting
The mirror itself is not unique but the base turned out to be very fascinating!
We dettached the mirror and put it on our baby's crib.He likes to look at his face when he wakes up.
With the base he plays alot (he is now 6 months old) holding it with both hands and feet.He also likes to stand while we are holding him and lean forward to pick up toys - one of his favorite being this base.
Another fascinating thing on the base is the tag itself.(We didn't know that and unfortunately cut off all tags from all the other toys but kept this one since it was easing the grabbing.)Our son is even trying to "pincer grasp" the tag.

Why pay 19.99 when you can pay 9.99 at TJMaxx

Choking hazard
The nose is glued and sewn on, but my baby still managed to chew it off.I found it hanging by a thread from it's face one day.So, cut off the nose before giving it to your baby, or never leave your baby alone with it once teething starts.

Too bad about the nose because my baby loves his puppytunes.

Dangerous toy - has been taken off the market in Denmark !
"Puppytunes" contains phthalates and has been taken off the market in Denmark!

The Danish environmental protection agency (Danish ministry of the Environment) also found the "multi sensory clutch cube" from Lamaze to contain TCEP and it has also been taken off the market.

TCEP can cause cancer and damage to the kidneys, and children should not be in contact with it.

Good Starter for Sorting, but May Be Outgrown
We received one of these as a gift at birth, and our son is now a year old and busily sorting everything he can get his hands on., so we've seen him go through several stages with this toy.

Like all the Lamaze toys, it's made with a variety of developmental stages in mind. It's extremely solidly made, enough so that you can plan on passing it on when your child is done, and washable -- all extreme plusses for the value for money. The colors and patterns are great, and were of interest to him from about 3 to 9 months. The "blocks", soft stitched shapes, were of more interest to him earlier on. As a sorter, though, he really lost interest in it before he got to the age of wanting to match shapes up with holes, and by the time he was strong enough to open and close the "lid", he was already into somewhat more complicated such arrangements (such as an oats box and lid, his baby wipe boxes, and a hard plastic sorter). He's now more interested in throwing the thing around than sorting with it! But that's OK, too!

As such, the sort of primary intended goal of the toy -- to provide early shape-sorting/passing -- seems to be less successful. That said, it's a great first-gift toy, because it has a fairly long lifespan and a variety of "uses" as the baby's focus changes.

maybe better for an older baby
I purchased this for my 8 month old son and he has not showed a real interest in this toy yet.The quality is very good and I am hoping that when he is a bit older he will start playing with it.I would not recommend this for a young baby.

Great for tummy time!
I received this as a baby shower gift, and introduced my daughter to it around 4 months of age.She uses it during tummy time.She loves to reach for the shapes, push them around, and chew on them (teething!).When we play with it together, she can feel the different fabrics and hear the different sounds made by each piece - this is a great toy! ...

Editorial Review

An innovative toy for those who are way too young to look after real fish, this soft baby toy is a seven by seven-inch "fish bowl" with two transparent side panels containing real water. Small aquatic critters float around in these narrow walls of water. Even more interesting are the four three-inch stuffy toys (a fish, starfish, clam, and crab) that fit into the "bowl" between the watery side panels; the magnifying effect of the sides really makes these toys (and anything else in the bowl) look as if they are under water. The soft base is weighted and makes the bowl quite stable. --Richard Farr ... Read more

I Have No Words!
This toy left me in awe.It is probably the greatest invention ever including condoms!

My baby daughter loved this!
This was truly my daughter's favorite toy.We got it for her when she was about 7 months old, and she played with it daily until she was about 2 1/2.She loved the bright colors and sounds the different sea creatures made, enjoyed teething on the crab, and when she got a little older, loved the "put in, take out" things she could do with the fishbowl.Although it's a little pricey at $20, for us, this toy was definitely worth the money!

Great for infants!
My son (7 months) got this as a gift for Christmas...loves it!He loves the clam and the crab.I usually shake up the aquarium before I give it to him and his whole face lights up to see the bubbles and the little plastic sea creatures "swimming" furiously around! I would definitely recommend it for an infant. ... Read more

Great attention grabber
Its true that it does fit on my 4 month olds infant carrier but he is much easier to play with on his tummy or in his hands, but he loves Max all the same! Max has so many different things to chew on, and 35% of the time he's in Zach's mouth! And 60% of the time Zach will sort of hold him away from him for a while, and STARE at him, than he will grab him and hug him! But the other 5% of the time is why I love Max so much, when ever Zach starts crying you just make Max giggle and within seconds Zach is happy boy again! My 20 month old twins think its soo funny that their little brother will laugh like that! Max goes in the stroller, in the car, in the diaper bag, at the highchair, in the exersaucer EVERYWHERE, Max isnt my sons "lovey" but its probably his favorite "toy".Max easily spot cleans and I have put him in the machine a few times! Max is also filled with so many cute colors. I dont know what it is about Max, but even though he can't really attatch to the infant carrier without Zach getting really angrey, he's well worth it!

Great product
If you are in preparation for the arrival of a newborn, it is essential to purchase BR Max the Monkey.I am 11 years old and whenever I hear my baby brother Matthew cry, I hand him BR and just like magic, the crying stops.I don't know if it is the monkey's infectious giggle or its appealing colors but I do know that this is like a magical ingredient to make a baby stop crying.Believe me, you must make it a priority to purchase lovable BR before your child enters the world.You will never regret it.This is one of the most effective baby toys ever.Congats to Lamaze on creating yet another successful item for babies.

Love the Monkey
My son loves his monkey. It keeps him entertained in his carseat and his stroller. And you can attach it to straps, so he can toss the monkey all he likes but still reach it. These Lamaze toys are awesome. Great to chew! ... Read more
