Pacimals: Ooie the Monkey

Ideal for babies 0 to 9 months, Pacimals is a detachable silicone pacifier that connects to an adorable stuffed animal. It allows babies to hold onto and control their own pacifier. And keeping it clean is a snap — just pop the pacifier off the base and toss it in the dishwasher, and throw the stuffed animal in the washing machine. The line includes seven different Pacimals. “The detachability of the pacifier is unique. It makes cleaning easy and makes weaning more fun,” Founder Monica Smith of Love Kub told TDmonthly. Launch date: January 7, 2008.
