Online Review Summaries:
Things to Keep in Mind
The most significant recurring concern is the paint chipping or peeling off the wooden blocks, which is often reported to occur quickly and raises safety worries as babies commonly put toys in their mouths. A frequent secondary issue is that the suction cups do not consistently adhere securely to surfaces, leading to the toy being easily removed or pulled off by the child.
Why You'll Like It
Many parents find this toy highly effective at engaging and entertaining babies, particularly on high chairs or tables, often serving as a screen-free alternative during meal times. Several users also note its good build quality and, for some, strong suction when applied to clean, dry surfaces.
