There are better out there

Sophie the giraffe is highly overrated and over priced. There are much better teething toys out there for babies at better price points and quality. It has a bad mold problem no matter what you try to do to clean it and that is a huge turn off for me. My grandsons health is not worth taking that chance on. Save yourself the money and frustration with this thing and buy something else.

I dont understand the hype

Honestly, i dont get why everyone has one of these and moms recommend. Its pricey and not very different from most teethers. The only thing special about it is that its cute... on top of that my kid could care less about it. At 4m shes probably used it a handful of times. The squeak is the only thing she liked and i could buy a cheap dog toy for that.

Mold

I bought one of these for my teething baby because it was so adorable and it seemed everyone I knew had one and loved it! It was the most expensive teething toy I’ve ever seen but I just thought that meant excellent quality.

I was wrong.
One week after purchasing, there was mold all up in it. I found it while I washed with dish soap (see my review for Blue Dawn! ;)) and little mold flakes suddenly appeared. I cut it open and was absolutely disgusted in what I saw. ONE WEEK after buying this toy. I’ll stick with the solid-piece teethers from now on.

Not worth all the hype.

All moms rave about this toy but my son wasn’t overly excited with it. He would play with it if I gave it to him but he would rather play with something else.
For the price you pay for this toy i was very upset to see the paint fade after washing it once. DO not put this toy into the dishwasher.

Terrible quality! Buyer beware!!

I bought this for my teething child thinking it was money well spent. After about a month and a half of it being gummed on the rubber started to shred into flakes and rip a hole! I called the company and they were in total denial that such a thing could happen. Well It did to us! Totally a choking hazard for a small child! We probably would have got more longevity out of a squeaky dog toy. Very disappointed in this company, the service and quality. If my child had a few teeth maybe I could understand why it would happen but she didn’t have not one in her mouth. Save you’re money! Not only was the company in complete denial but they refused to refund me money or even offer to send a replacement!

Not worth the money

I purchased one of these for my kids since everyone seemed to suggest it. After a few times using it the spots disappeared. I took it back to Nordstrom and was able to exchange it for another one and again after a few times the spots began to go away. Without the spots it looked dirty and old. I do like that it is easy for little hands to hold on to but beyond that there are so many other toys that you can get that do the same thing at a fraction of the cost.

Don’t buy unless you want your kid to chew on mold!

We did like many expecting parents do, researched the best products for babies. We added Sophie to our registry even though it was extremely overpriced. So many people swear by her. We didn’t end up getting her so when my little one started teething at 5 months, I went out and bought her. Literally cringed as I was checking out this $20 chew toy but we were hoping it was going to help our little guy from being so miserable. Over the course of a month, he’d chew it here and there but was highly obsessed with the “bath squirting toys” more. Of course, I found mold growing in the bath toys and saw Sophie had a similar air hole in her. Yep, you guessed it. She was moldy too. Since then, I’ve bought new cheap squirt toys and hot glued the air holes to keep moisture out and poor Sophie was thrown away, never to return.

Gets moldy

I understand the concept behind this item, but, it gets moldy in the inside from the child's saliva and that is not healthy to have around the house. I think the whole needs to be plugged up somehow. Also, too expensive for a teething toy.

Gross

This teething toy is super cute. However once it gets a hole in it it must be tossed in the garbage. You will never get it fully clean and dry and it will grow mold.

My son didnt like it

Got one for my son when he started teething, but he hated it. hes just not interested in it at all, not sure what ot was. Personally thought it was cute
