This toy is so visually appealing and texturally pleasing that babies would crawl across the room to play with it. The use of non-primary colors was a nice change for parents along with the interesting, contrasting patterns. Testers gave high marks for the quality of materials, design and construction. Even the Velcro that ALEX used garnered praise for being of a higher grade than what is often found this was softer and gentler and actually sewn onto the product, not glued. As for the play value, the set includes a squeaker, a stretchy arm, teether ears and crinkly legs, each of which got equal amounts of manipulative play and teething time.
