Inconsistent
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!
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.

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

worth it
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!
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.

great chewy toy
In anticipation to my daughter starting to teeth I was searching for a safe non-toxic teething toy and found Sophie...we received it in the mail and gave it to our daughter to play, she enjoyed her right away...she loves to put Sophie in her mouth and chew away...I must say that it sometimes does not satisfy the biting craving she has, but she keeps her busy and happy and it's no doubt one of her favorite toys. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe teether...only thing is follow the instructions on how to clean Sophie as I have gotten water inside of her and kind of messed her up a little, but you should be fine if you just make sure that you don't do that and clean her with a damp cloth as it is recommended...I chose to not care about getting water in because I would rather clean her well with soap as Sophie often ends up in the hands of other little ones and sometimes falls to the floor...this is why I gave her 4 stars on durability, but it should not be an issue when choosing to purchase her...Sophie is totally worth the price, your little one will surely enjoy her and it will last a long chewy time.

Teething Giraffe Helps my 7 month old
The Teething Giraffe worked great for my 7 month old son. Yes it is expensive for a teether, but he loves it still and I do think it has helped him trhough this rough phase of his baby life!!

Love it!
I love this product! It is super easy for my son to hold and he loves to use it as a teether. It's great to use when he's bored in the car and wants a toy to play with, too. I feel good knowing it is considered a safe alternative to other teethers. Great item!

We love it!
We love this little giraffe! It's especially nice in that it is soft and not much of a weapon when our little one waves toys at his and our faces. I'm not sure which of our kids loves it more--the almost 3-year-old or the 6-month-old. It's such a nice non-annoying squeak, and I'm glad to have an alternative to plastic.
