Stimulates Baby's Vision and Auditory Skills
When babies are first born, they see in black and white. This is why the Play and Grow Peacock strikes a balance between bright, high contrast patterns that help stimulate baby's vision, and bold solid colors that give baby's eyes a place to rest. Sounds like crinkle, squeakers and jingles also help stimulate and develop baby's auditory skills. Finally, large, friendly eyes on the Play and Grow Peacock invite baby to focus and stare at a single object, which helps calm baby while supporting healthy eye development.

Child-Safe Design
Whether they're playing in the crib or preparing for a nap, your little one will enjoy hours of delight with the Play and Grow Peacock. Safe and easy for little hands to manipulate, it features a soft velour body that invites snuggling and playing. And the busy wings have different textures and interactive components--like the mirror, which allows for both independent and parent/baby peek-a-boo play--to keep baby engaged as he grows.

The Play and Grow Peacock comes with a limited 90 day warranty.

Baby's Best Friend5
Jacques is one of Lamaze's best offerings! The peacock is light enough - and the feather panels thin enough - for little hands to grab, tug and pick up without easily dropping. The feather panels also provide several chewable surfaces for little ones who love to put everything in their mouth.

The shape of this toy also makes it easy to tuck into a car seat. While a lot of toys seem to fall out of the car seat once baby starts playing with them, the flatness of the feather panels and the flat bottom of the peacock body seem to help this toy stay in the seat. Also, the feather panels are easy for baby to reach out for an edge, grab and pull back into reach.

For these reasons, we made our peacock a "car only" toy so that our little one, who was not fond of car travel at 4 months, would have something he liked in the car. This toy was an immediate favorite even before our little one really became interested in these types of toys.

The back of the peacock feathers have different black and white panels which makes the toy interesting even when the toys happens to be upside down. The cute face and large eyes appealed to our little guy and were worthy of cues and smiles - a friend indeed. I could not be happier with this toy. Our favorite Lamaze character!

Lamaze makes great toys5
Around 10 weeks, my baby finally started noticing the Lamaze toys we had around the house - we had the Emily doll first - and now that is her ultimate favorite toy. I just purchased Jacques for her, and she loves him too. The back of the toy is patterns of black and white fabric, and has the crinkly sound babies seem to love. Each of the "feathers" has a different interest point - a squeaker, a soft bulb, a mirror, and satin touch ribbons. This is a really great deal, too - Babies R Us sells the same toy for $12.99 as of today.

Great Toy!5
We saw this in Babies-R-Us and our little baby couldn't stop laughing when she saw it. I think it's the combination of the BIG EYES, the squeaker in one of the wings, the mirror in another wing, the krinkly sounds and the bright colors.

The hook on top is useful for hanging from the carseat or from the swing -- however, if you are just trying to make Jacque dance for your baby, the hook kind of gets in the way but that is a minor note.

Overall, I highly recommend Jacque -- she has not tired of him yet and everytime she sees good ol' Jacque, her face lights up and she babbles at him.

Great Teether and Entertainer5
My 6 month old daughter just loves this toy. Easy for her to hold, easy to take on outings. Nice size, not too
big and not too small. Perfect for tiny hands. And I like that there is nothing to poke her in the eye like some
teethers do b/c of their shape. Nice smooth feel too. The light is cute which my dtr likes to look at when I push it but she mostly likes to mouth it. I washed it up really good with warm soapy water and it has been fine. No smells for us like one of the reviews mentioned. It is brightly colored and much nicer in person.

awesome5
I got this for my brother and sister in law who baby is due in Jan and they bothed loved it. It does a lot of fun and learning activities.It is even cooler in person than it looks online

Shaggy

Perfect toy!5
When my daughter started "playing" with toys (basically putting them in her mouth, all she had was plush toys. I bought this because it had the water filled squishy "key". It turned out a million times more awesome than I ever expected. It's the perfect size and shape for her little baby hands. It has varying textures and colors. Plus it's not so heavy that if she drops it on herself while playing on her back, it doesn't hurt! Great, simple toy!

Totally lives up to the hype--We love Sophie!5
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R5I5PIC436TAZ My name is Shelby and this is my video review of my 5-month-old son playing with Sophie the Giraffe. We love Sophie. She is very well-made and I hope seeing Sophie in action will be helpful to others. Also, I think I repeat myself a little in the video--sorry about that!

Don't let the price deter you!5
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.

Her *favorite* toy!!5
My four month old is obsessed with Sophie. She can't get enough of it. It is easy for her to hold and bring to her mouth. She just started to teeth and Sophie appears to give her some relief. She also loves the "squeak" sound it makes and is able to make it squeak all by herself. I love that it is easy to wash, small, and not cutesy or fussy. Although it is more expensive than other toys, it is worth it. I highly recommend this item.

This guy is awesome!5
My daughter received this toy for Christmas. It quickly became a favorite of hers and therefore my husband's and mine as well. Baby girl is 9 months old now, and this guy keeps her entertained during diaper changes, toweling off after a bath, or anytime we need to put her down for a second to grab a diaper or a change of clothes. She has really put him through his paces and he holds up well. He's been spit up on, chewed remorselessly, even chucked into the diaper pail and he always comes out unscathed.

One of Baby's Favorite Toys5
My daughter is 4 months old and we have to take this toy with us whenever we visit friends of family. It plays music fine for her and the colors work. The only problem we have is that she listens to the music so often that the tunes get stuck in your head.

Octoplush5
This toy is 3 languages, most toys are only English and Spanish and I specifically purchased this because it goes to French as well. My son's aunt is willing to teach French to him and this toy will help Mommy practice with him!

Good quality sound - not annoying!5
I just bought this to take over for our soon-to-be adopted infant. I was very happy with the small size and weight (perfect for an infant to hold). But most of all, the sound quality is fantastic (and not too loud) - and not electronic sounding at all. And the tunes are all pleasing to the ear and not annoying kid versions. I will like listening to it as much as our son!

A must for every parent!5
I love this toy and will give it to every new parent that I know! This is the only toy with sound that we own that does not have clear packing tape on the speaker! (Every other toy gets the "tape treatment" once it enters the house!) Music quality is great and the songs play for longer than most toys, so you don't have to reach over and hit the button as often!

One of the Smartest toys to 'Take Along'5
My Daughter picked this toy out @ Wal-Mart, among a few other toys herself!! When I originally bought it, she was only 3 months old!!!!
We moved the end of October and lost it in the move. I ordered it online and when it arrived, her eyes lit up and she fell in love with it all over again!!! It calms her down peacefully. I strongly recomend this for every parent out there.

good teething toy4
It was to big for her mouth at first but, she grew into that. She really chews more on the handle.

teether3
This is a good teether product, but the blue and green one is liked better by my baby. It is softer. This one is a harder plastic, so they are not interchangable. I use it in case we can't find the other. Even though it looks like a pacifier, baby doesn't seem to suck on it, just chew on it...which is good since we are threw with the pacifier.

our search is over5
this is the best teether ever, it is kinda big, but it's not a pacifire, it's a teether, my babygirl just love's it and i think it really sooths her achy gum's. we have our's in pink, i do recommend this product, it's worth every penny.

Product Description

Unlike current teethers that are too large to get past the front teeth, the Teethifier is uniquely designed to comfortably glide over the front teeth and reach the rear molars. While most teethers look like toys to be thrown, the teethifier has a familiar pacifier appearance that an infant instantly recognizes as something to be chewed. The teethifier's shield keeps the raised ends at exactly the right location in the mouth, the perfect place to gently massage sore gums. Its a great alternative to topical medicines. For those infants who are finding it difficult to say goodbye to their pacifier, The Teethifier is the perfect transitional device. It protects against possible pallet or orthodontic damage that can be caused by extended pacifier use. Made out of 100% FDA approved Santoprene

Customer Reviews

a good idea, but...3
I thought it's a great idea... too bad my baby doesn't really care about this item! He is 14 months old and his molars are coming... he chews on anything but not this teethefier :-(

Great for any teething child5
My kids have never been pacifier kids and they didn't take to any normal teethers. We found vibrating star teethers that they liked but that only worked for the front teeth. When my son was teething and cutting his molars nothing seemed to reach the right part of his gums. My daughter took teething a lot harder. So when she started cutting molars I really needed to find a better teether for the back gums.

I was shopping on amazon for various other things when I came across this very different looking teether. I was a little leary of it because it looks so much like a pacifier and I didn't want the kids to decide they wanted a pacifier after getting them past a year old barely ever using a pacifier. I decided to try it anyways. My kids are 1 and a half and 2 and a half years old(younger of the 2 is my daughter). They love these teethers. They seem to be very sturdy and not likely to break up or crack like some similar looking types of rubber might.

They don't seem to be overusing the teether but everytime they find it mixed with their toys they put in their mouth. A couple times my daughter was crying and chewing on this seemed help ease her pain a little. A couple other times it calmed her down until I could get her some tylenol or orajel. My son just likes it because he sees my daughter with it. He has a couple more teeth to cut so I hope this will help when those start coming through. So far it seems durable enough even for him.

Excellent Teether for Babies of All Ages5
Our baby had his first teeth push through at 16 weeks of age. He was desperately in need of things to chew on that he could hold with his tiny little hands. The Teethifier is perfect because he can bite down on both sides of his mouth and it is the only teether that can reach back to his rear gums without the risk of him pushing it too far in. He can hold the tiny ring, or we can clip it onto his other rings on the baby gym. He loves the texture and feel of this item. A great purchase that I am sure he will use for months to come.
