Is sophie the giraffe worth the money?

steffie1213 · March 2014

I'm thinking about getting it for my son, he is almost four months. Does anyone recommend it?

noelani42 · March 2014

yes!

steffie1213 · March 2014

Ok thanks

It can be a choking hazard. Read the reviews online.

It's a glorified dog squeaker, honestly, but I wouldn't buy a dog squeaker for my son to chew on. He laughs at it, chews on it for a few minutes, then tosses it aside for harder plastic. But he's just started teething so I'm giving it some more time.

I've read that on the amazon reviews but the amazon one is a knockoff (it's legs are shorter and easier to choke on). So far I haven't read anything about choking on babies r us.

Yes! LO loves it!! Especially since she doesn't take a binky, it's her comfort.

snarkyNbitter · March 2014

LO has loves her! We also have the one for the bath and "travel" one.

Meh, I was gifted mine, but I wouldn't buy it on my own. DS will chew on it if I put it in front of him, but it's not one of his favorites.

LO loves his and has for awhile.

He is 6.5 months now and loves these... like loves. He can pick them up, they are soft and he loves to chew on them. So if you're looking for a soft teether that is appealing to baby and not looking to spend the $$ I would suggest these.

edit- just realized your LO is almost 4 months. It might be a few weeks before your LO is really into these.

Me son loved his so we got one for my daughter. She is already a fan!

Nope. What a rip off. A teether is a teether.

I personally went with the ChanPieGnon collection.. They're "Sophie's friends" lol but they're a little cheaper and my DD (6months) is finally showing a lot of interest in hers (Gnon - the yellow one)

Thanks I think I'll try them!

jtmomma13 · March 2014

@steffie1213 no problem! They aren't really a "teether" but my LO chews on them constantly! And they will serve more purpose later because they are stackable, have numbers and textures on them, are different colors etc! Love toys that can have multiple uses!

DD didnt care for it. I dont think its very comfortable for her to hold / put in her mouth. I got a regular ring teether and she loves it much better. I was gifted this otherwise i would be pissed I wasted money on Sophie

BelhurstBride · March 2014

DD1 was obsessed with it. DD2 could not care less.

headgear03 · March 2014

we bought a sophie for my third child because nothing else was working for him and he loved the thing. I have gone through soo many different types of teethers and this one has been one of my favorites. My eight month old is just now starting to teeth so were bringing sophie back out. She loves how it squeaks. It may be a glorified dog toy but the thing works on some kids and you bet if it works on your kid youll be so glad you shelled out the money .

Target has an elephant by Infantino called Kiki made of the same material and it's much less expensive. My LO seems to like it. I just couldn't justify paying what Sophie costs. I am fairly certain it's only available at Target.

aelangille · March 2014

My MIL bought these for us:

they have been fantastic. My little guy loves them. They are flexible, so he can bend and twist them however he wants and can grip them very easily with his little hands. He prefers these to anything else. They also wash very well...we have 2 dogs and 2 cats so every time it hits the floor we give it a quick scrub. Bonus; there are 2 in a pack. 1 stays in the house, one in the car seat.

steffie1213 · March 2014

Hmm interesting! Well thanks for all the advice. Now I have a lot of alternatives and such to consider!

NL105 · March 2014

DD is 5 months and was gifted a Sophie when she was about 4 months... if I put it in her hand she'll attempt to chew it but gets frustrated easily if she doesn't get the part that she wants in her mouth. I contemplated buying her one and I'm glad I didn't- it's not something that's been useful enough or brought her enough enjoyment for me to spend money on. Maybe once she really starts teething/gets actual teeth, and gets better hand/finger coordination, she may enjoy it more.
