HABA 1052 Olli Review

HABA 1052 Olli...it's quite heavy. My nine month old loves to pick it up by its hat. However, when she waves it around she comes very close to smacking herself in the head with it. I think it's only a mater of time before it happens, so I supervise her play. I'm not sure I would buy this again.

Kushies Zolo Folio Review

Kushies Zolo FolioI bought this book for my twin grandchildren (now 9 months old). The four pages for photos were just right for mommy, daddy, and one for each baby. Of course, the book goes in their mouths first. They do turn the pages and look at the photos. I think that they will discover how to remove the photos from under the plastic page soon.

Haba Pacifier chain Teddy Review

Haba Pacifier chain TeddyI have to disagree with Fiona Bessey-Bushnell about wood. It's wood, a perfectly safe natural material. Most cutting boards are made of wood and you don't see people complaining of the microbial nightmare while chopping food.

Being from Northern Europe, I am always amazed at how many toys in the US are made of cheap plastics as opposed to that durable and great natural material: wood. Maybe I'm old fashioned by I think wood has more "soul" and is nicer to the touch.

My nine month old daughter has plenty of wood toys and they spend most of their time on the floor. Most of them have been licked and sucked on at one point or another. This does not make her sick. Having an environment too clean may actually hinder the development of the immune system. That's one of the reasons why many doctors are skeptical about the current trend involving antibacterial soaps.

Wood can be easily cleaned. Rinse and if necessary wipe with a disinfectant wipe.

Click-clack ball track by HABA Review

Click-clack ball track by HABAThe twin boys I watch (almost 3) love this thing! They sit & play with it for an hour @ a time. The balls do fall off the track sometimes but it's no big deal they just put them back on (99% of the time it is the green ball that has a flat end that falls off, the other two included balls seem to do just fine). It's an expensive toy but we love it & it's nice to hear the wooden rolling noises & bell tinkle rather than sirens or other annoying noises. Glad i bought it!

Haba Klettinos Soft Stacking Toy Review

Haba Klettinos Soft Stacking ToyThis is one of the best baby toys we've gotten yet!As a younger baby (7-10 months), my daughter loved to pull these apart and mouth them.Good news, they are completely safe!No plastic, washable, and no small parts.Now as she enters being a toddler, she is beginning to understand how to put the pieces together to form an "animal."I like that she is able to do it herself, and it encourages creativity.It will be a toy that grows with her for awhile.A great toy to spend your money on!

Haba Perlina Clutching Toy Review

Haba Perlina Clutching ToyGlad I got this before it could be discontinued. It is very cute. The wooden beads & bell are held on by elastic cords & it seems very durable. I have pulled & pulled & nothing snapped, although at first I was a little leery: If the elastic cord broke there would be around 10 tiny choking hazards all over the place. It's a great toy & my nephew loved it. Havn't had a chance to try it out on our little one yet.

Ramba Zamba Review

Ramba ZambaI bought this toy along with Haba Ballino and Pipapo to replace my son's plastic toys. He has teeth and makes dents in everything. He has had it for over a week and still enjoys to hold, shake, and put it in his mouth. This is the only toy out of the 3 where the paint has chipped off on a couple of edges, maybe because they are not rounded like they are on Pipapo and Ballino. It still beats plastic toys, though.

Haba Wonder Dice Review

Haba Wonder DiceThis is the perfect first set of blocks for a baby because they're soft so baby can't get hurt. The colors are vibrant and most of the pieces make some sort of sound, either rattling or crinkling. My 7 month old is too young to build with them herself, but she has fun knocking down my creations. This is currently my favorite toy for my baby, and I love that the blocks are washable, unlike a lot of soft toys out there that are surface wash only (which is kind of garbage in my opinion). Also unlike plastic toys, you don't need to worry about chemicals like phthalates leaching out of these blocks when your baby chews on them. Haba toys are great because they're very well designed and Europeans have more stringent requirements and do more testing for children's toys.

It is easy for him to grab and put in his mouth, the little men are so cute and it makes a fun rattle sound when handled. The box also stated the product was made in Germany, i have had some HABA toys from China. I will update this review if i have any issues but so far very well worth the money vs. some breakable plastic toy made in China!

Haba Dream Journey Review

Haba Dream JourneyI bought this toy for my seven month old's first Christmas, and she loves it!I thought she might not enjoy it for a few months, but she already loves to play with it... she enjoys the noises that the little guys make, and likes to roll the boat back and forth.I know it's a toy that will grow with her, too... as she gets older she'll be able to drag it around as she walks, etc.As a mom, I am thrilled with the quality of this toy, and love knowing that it is safety tested and used water-based paints. Highly recommended!

Triangle Review

TriangleI try to buy wooden/European made toys for my baby to avoid all the toxic junk out there.This one had good reviews, so I bought it.My teething 6 month old immediately started chewing on it, and next thing I knew, her month was full of blue paint.Yes, I know the paint is supposed to be non-toxic, but what kind of quality is it, anyway?This is something I would expect from cheap Chinese-made junk, not from expensive toys made by a supposedly reputable German company.I had the same problem with Haba's Kringelring.Anyway, I am done with Haba and switching to Selecta (never once had a problem with their toys).

Salto Review

SaltoI wanted to get some wooden toys for my 3-month old daughter instead of the standard plastic ones, mainly to avoid the whole BPA issue.We didn't want to spend a lot of money on them but did want quality.This toy, while being slightly more expensive than others, is a great investment.My daughter clutches the sides and gnaws on the round ring, while the little colorful wooden parts are fun for her to watch.It's her favorite toy (if a 3-month old has favorites).It's exactly as it appears in the picture.The wooden stick in the middle seems sturdy and doesn't appear to have any "give" in it -- I worried it might break easily, but it has withstood my older two playing with it.A great investment!
