Baby Products Reviews of Lamaze Play and Grow Stretch the Giraffe Take Along Toy
Customer Review: A Favorite! And Perfectly Safe IMO...
Summary: 5 Stars
The first toy my son ever responded to was his "Sqeaky Bee" Sassy Busy Bugs on Board Car Seat and Stroller Toy
and after it went missing when he was 3 months old, we rushed to the store to find a replacement. While shopping, we walked by this toy and my son started talking and laughing at it. (I of course was trying to push the peacock...so beautiful, but the kid already has a mind of his own!) It was so cute...the first toy he has ever picked out all by himself! After we got home, we ended up finding "Sqeaky Bee" and realized that their faces are very similar looking...my little boy seems to be very drawn to yellow and loves looking at the friendly smile and eyes! The company has obviously put a lot of research into these toys and it sure shows. "Jeffy the Giraffe" has now surpassed "Sqeaky Bee" as his favorite, and can still make him smile when nothing else can!
As a side note - I see there has been some safety concerns with Jeffy and I have looked ours over and see no issue with him. He seems to be of better quality than most toys I have seen. As with any toy, pacifier, teether or article of clothing around your child, you should inspect them REGULARLY to make sure they are safe. Babies are hard on their toys (as my hair can attest to, LOL) and even the best made accessories can fail under such abuse.
Customer Review: Huge Hit!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a new Aunt and about to see my niece for the first time at Christmas, I was a bit anxious to make a good impression (you know, because 3-month olds can be highly critical). I don't know too much about babies and wasn't sure how interactive they could be with a toy like this, but I thought I would take a chance - after all, could it be cuter?
Well I was excited to find out that my niece LOVES her giraffe (which has since been named in my honor). What I was a bit surprised to hear (and this is where my inexperience with lil' ones comes into play) was how much she engages with the toy - she grabs it, squeezes it, pulls it, chews on it - to hear its crinkle, rattle, etc. My brother also thinks the bright colors have a lot to do with her attachment.
Using my niece as the standard, I'm convinced that Lamaze has really done their homework when it comes to creating toys for babes. These Lamaze animals are now my go-to for baby gifts!
Customer Review: Choking Hazard! WARNING!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am the original writer of the previous Warning post! Thank you M. Windham for posting my story for me. I am glad my word travelled FAST today!
YES....this toy is a danger. Lamaze actually sells several other "characters" similar to stretch that appear to have this same issue. Very THIN fabric and POOR single stitching is all that comes between your baby's mouth and SMALL parts, rattles and stuffing inside the feet. The rattles and squeakers are the PERFECT size for lodging in your babies throat.
Take this thing away please before they unsuspectingly chew the stitchings off the same way my son did. My son is okay, but it's the principal and what if's that get me about this! How could that be over looked?? I love Lamaze toys, but will seriously be weary of thier products from now on.

Customer Review: Baby's favorite toy
Summary: 5 Stars
At 2 1/2 months, baby LOVES this toy. We got her the toy at 2 months old, and she loved it from the beginning. As the weeks go by, she grows even more attached to it. It has loads of places for baby to grab ahold of, making this the first toy that she wants to play with. It is relatively light weight. Lots of different materials/textures to feel. There are different types of sounds to entertain her. She especially likes to hear the crackling sound as she grabs ahold of the ears. When I bought this toy, I was surprised that the legs are not stretchable, but baby doesn't seem to mind. She is fascinated by the colors, sounds and feel. She stares at or plays with the toy for an hour at a time, giving Mommy and Daddy a chance to get caught up on things around the house.Customer Review: Awesome toy, but not very durable
Summary: 4 Stars
My baby absolutely loves this toy... so much so that I had to buy a second one after she chewed through the foot of the first one and exposed some plastic and the stuffing.
This is the only reason why I gave this giraffe only 4 stars instead of 5. It is an awesome toy and my baby seems very interested in all of its parts--from the colorful feet, to the stretchy legs, to the ribbon hair, to the plastic rings. She can't keep any part of the giraffe out of her mouth.
I would have preferred that this giraffe have been a bit more durable. My baby doesn't even have any teeth, but she was able to chew through the stitching of one of the giraffe's feet.
