 Inconsistent November 3, 2008

My daughter adored her Le Sophie Girafe,and was teething when we lost it at the store. Though it is quite distinctive and we called that day and several thereafter, no one had turned it in. So, being sensitive to our girl's favorite chewy, we bought another on Amazon. When it arrived, I noticed that it was shorter, squatter, and flimsier than the first. Naturally, it also sounded different when it squeaked. We gave it to my daughter, and while she will ocassionally hold it and whack it on the ground, it is just another toy. It isn't like the other enough to hold her attention. So, if you only buy one and never lose it, it might be a favorite. However, each one may be different.
 Just okay for what it is...but my baby likes it! October 25, 2008

I wasn't sure how to rate this item. When I got this giraffe I felt ripped off. It seemed much smaller than in the photo. Then when I took it out of the box and squeezed it, I felt like I spent a fortune on a dog toy. It squeaks like those annoying rubber hot dogs or shoes that you buy for a dog at PetSmart.
The rubber is very thin and it smells like a rubber Halloween mask. I find it hard to believe that it's "safe" for the baby to suck on.
I gave this 4 stars because my baby likes it, which is the whole purpose in buying it. I didn't give it 5 stars because the price makes it a rip off for what it is. Maybe it's expensive because it was made in France. I don't know...
However, this is for my baby daughter. I'm not going to get her a dog toy to play with, even though if I did it would have been a higher quality than this giraffe for about 1/4 the price.
But...would you get your baby a dog toy to play with? The idea of doing that is beyond ridiculous and I can't see myself doing that.
I'm not going to say this is the greatest baby toy ever but it's slim pickings out there when trying to buy something for a 3-month old that she'll play with, chew on, and actually like. So, I guess this is worth the price tag. Just don't expect too much from it.

My 4 month old already is cutting teeth and he loves to gnaw on Sophie. This is a great product.

Worth the price for peace of mind re: safety. Baby loves it, small and light enough for her to grasp and squeeze.
Don't let the price deter you! October 12, 2008

My 5 month old daughter LOVES her Sophie the Giraffe toy! This toy is absolutely wonderful in every way. Sophie is made of soft rubber and makes a pleasant-sounding squeak whenever any part of her body is squeezed, so even a young baby can elicit a reaction from the toy with minimal effort.
I don't know what it is about Sophie, but whenever my daughter plays with her, she gets very vocal and talkative.
I saw another review which referred to this toy as "a glorified dog toy". That reviewer is mistaken, and simply doesn't realize the value of this toy.
- Sophie's body, while soft, has several areas of thicker rubber (the nubs on her head, her ears, and her feet) which are perfect for teething babies to gnaw on for relief.
- Sophie's contrasting colors (spots) are visually stimulating to a baby.
- She is easy to grip given her long, thin neck.
- This toy is made of 100% natural rubber and uses food-grade paint (SAFE!).
- This is a quality baby toy which will last for many years.
I would much rather pay $20 for a safe, engaging toy for my baby, than pay $5 for some piece of junk with lead paint.
