Sophie la girafe Bath Toy, Floating Spray Water Toy for Babies and Toddlers, Easy Grip Sensory Bath Toy, Colors May Vary, 6+ Months

There are a LOT of negative reviews for this toy based upon the fact that it might not be made from natural rubber and therefore MIGHT not be safe for babies to chew on, so I felt compelled to share my experience with it. I understand that babies (especially teething babies) tend to put EVERYTHING in their mouths, and I understand wanting to be sure that the toys they will be chewing on are made of safe materials. However, given that my son is exposed to this toy only at bath time, and only under adult supervision, I was not overly concerned about it, especially since I could find no evidence that the toy was made out of anything harmful. In fact that ended up being a moot point because although my son is 7 months, and chews on everything, he somehow doesn't find this toy pleasant to teethe on (yes, I let him try when he was playing with it). I will admit that this toy does have some flaws: If you are looking for it to float around in the tub neatly, it doesn't do that (unless partially filled with water). It's not for teething on, and it's not easy for very small babies to squirt by themselves. That being said, I still think this is a fantastic toy! So why do I think this toy merits a 5-star review, given all its flaws? Because it is by far the toy we play with the most at bathtime. I love filling it with water and squirting my son with it, and he always shrieks with giggles and tries to grab it and dunk it under water (it has the best squirting range of any of the bath toys we have). If it's on the other side of the tub, it's the toy he reaches for, and it's the one I play with myself when he's distracted. I believe that the intention of the toy is not just to give a baby something to entertain him(or her)self with at bath time, but to provide a fun toy that both parent and baby can enjoy playing with together. And it works. And for those who say it is "hard to squirt"- not if you know how! Simply grasp the toy by the colored part (most easily done by placing the toy between the pointer and middle fingers), and push up on the bottoms of Sophie's feet (with the thumb). It's well-designed in that capacity! I hope this review helps you :)

Perfect in every way. So soft

My baby thinks the regular Sophie is the bee's knees, so I thought I'd see if she loved the bath toy just as much. All signs point to yes. It's the first toy she grabs in the tub. Cute and compact, with ear nubs that are oh-so-gnawable. And for parents, this bath Sophie has a handy squirt hole in her mouth, making it easy to get all that water out.

Love this little toy. I have purchased this one previously and give them as gifts with every newborn in the family.

Very cute addition for a little girl who already has the original Sophie.

Not a bad bath toy at all....just know what you are buying in comparison to the regular Sophie teether. The bath toy: -Half the size -The legs are all one piece instead of 4 individual pieces -The ring does not come off -The material is not as soft or flexible -Does not make any noise when you squeeze it -Even when not used as a squirt toy, water will get in and have to get squeezed out regularly My 5 month old son does like this toy though he gets a little frustrated after a while cause it isn't really a teether and he's used to being able to get one of Sophies legs into his mouth. I'm sure he'll like it even more once he's able to use it as a squirter which is what it actually is. All in all, it is still a good quality toy that I trust and would recommend it to others. UPDATE MARCH 2011: So, in trying to get the water out after a bath the other night, I squeezed Sophie's head and caused a slight tear around her mouth. Didn't think it was possible based on what I thought was great quality. I wont completely blame Sophie since It was actually me doing the squeezing but still. Oh well, we'll continue to use as is.

well made - perfect for bath or changing table.

We've got a soft Sophie and two teething Sophie's and have had these since my 7 mo old was born. If you've got one in your house too you know they never put em down! So we went ahead and added the bathtime version to his collection. It's a lot smaller than the others and doesn't float well like it seems it should and the water doesn't "spit" well out of the mouth so I find myself draining water out of it constantly (but you gotta do that w the rubber duckies too). At the end of the day my kid could care less about those things-- it's a sophie! And Sophie makes him smile so it's worth it

I do not typically regard the giraffe to be an aquatic mammal, but since purchasing Sophie I've been forced to reconsider. While she occasionally has buoyancy issues (who doesn't?), she is a child-friendly bath time companion.

Bellissimo articolo!
