Not worth the hype Although this item is adorable, it is very pricey and my son didn't seem to like it very much. It smells like rubber no matter how many times I washed it and it tasted like rubber gloves. No wonder my son didnt like it. I would not recommend this product considering I paid over 20 dollars for it.

Not sure why parents rave on about this thing! It is cute but extremely over priced! My son never gave it much mind! Wish I would've just saved my $30!

Mold found My young cousin had this you and her mom discovered mold in it. My aunt was horrified at the sight of this and wrote a complaint to the company. Not sure if this was damaged prior to it being bought by our family which caused mold to grow but still quite a shock for a children's toy.

My daughter loved this toy but it didn't last long. I expected more due to the fact it was made to be a teether and the fact its a bit on the pricey side.

dissapointed Well after hearing some good things about this Sophie teether giraffe, I decided to dish out the $29. I had high hopes for it until i kept noticing my infant making faces everytime she would try to chew on it. Then inevitably have no further interest. I kept trying to give it to her but things didnt change except her gagging everytime she put it in her mouth, or try to atleast. Its so big, the rubber is very hard and unforgiving, plus due to the legs being so close together, she couldn't really position it correctly to get enough in her mouth for a good chew. Instead you need to put a large area at one time, like all 4 legs or the head, so she was choking on that. Secondly I realized she made those faces & didnt like it also because it smells terrible! It has a bold chemical rubber smell. Also you need to be so careful of not getting that little hole wet or else it can get mold &/or stagnant water inside and the rubber itself is easy to have dust, hairs or such cling to it. Not a fan. Very dissapointed. Wish i coukd get my money back.

Not that good.. The giraffe looks cute. But kids never liked it. I always tried to give it to them , well , because it was a little expensive.. but they never wanted it .. it was just a regular rubber toy for them. Plus , i had an issue with the black spot dye coming out, and fading ....

too pricey its a cute toy but it does not really do much as a teether. my son didn't really use it as a teether he just played with it. bit too pricey in my opinion.

That teething really helped my niese.. She was having problems but now she is perfectly fine thanks to that magical teething

Not a good fit for us I love the idea of Sophie and she's quite cute but neither of my kids used her. Very expensive to not get any use.

Cute but Pricey My daughter got this before my grandson waa born. It was his favorite when he was a baby.

I was hesitant to buy this product not only because of the price, but because I had heard mixed reviews on it. We purchased this for our daughter and it really made no difference. She wasn't much of a teething toy baby. But when she did want to use something Sophie the and giraffe was never her preference. She would always grab all her other more cheaper tethers then Sophie. I don't think it all that big of a deal. And it's not money related I just believe that there are just as good or better tethers out there that are less expensive and will do the same work.

My son didn't enjoy this at all, I ended up giving it to my dogs and they loved it

Not a hit in our home. Sophie wasn't a huge hit on our home, unfortunately. I had high hopes for this giraffe as our son was having a little trouble while teething and with other reviews raving about how great it was I finally decided to break down and buy one. The texture itself isn't very bad, however, Sophie is a very very hard teether that doesn't give even just a little bit and smelled like rubber even after cleaning over and over and over then you have to be extra careful not to allow water to seep in or it could get moldy. My son had a hard time trying to find a position to actually chew on the teether as how the legs are so close together it was quite difficult. He definitely preferred his other teethers to Sophie.

One of the first toys my baby had, he loves it cause of the sound it make. It's squishy.

I don't see what all the fuss is about this toy! My daughter has Sophie and the mini Sophie and she prefers all her other teething toys to both.
