Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The flexible infant baby banana brush is the ideal infant training toothbrush that was invented by a mom-hygienist. The fun banana shape and soft texture are the perfect introduction and make brushing a fun experience as early as 3-4 months. It is made of the highest quality silicone and is compliant with the highest government standards. Because of its unique flexibility, it is much safer than traditional infant training toothbrushes and decreases risk of mouth injury. The wide banana peel handles provide an easy to grasp surface as infants learn to manipulate the brush in their mouth. The soft silicone can help sooth sore gums and it is dishwasher safe and freezer friendly. Parental supervision recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Super cute, but not for babies WITH teeth., October 4, 2011

I would recommend trying a different product instead. My 9-month-old daughter has 7 teeth and is a strong biter/chewer. We both thought this banana was the cutest toothbrush ever. We "brushed" with it for 2 days and I let her play with and chew it for a bit after each brush, supervised. On day 3 I washed the toothbrush and noticed that about 5 of the rubber bristles were partially or fully chewed off and missing. Sure enough, the bristles have since turned up in her diaper. Althought I considered sending the item back for refund, we will keep it for teeth brushing only. She is no longer allowed to use it as a teether, even with me watching since I didn't notice the bristles breaking off before. Please beware of this before deciding to purchase...I would not have bought it had I known.

We loved this teether for about three days, until we lost it. :( My son really enjoyed it, as he doesn't care for round-shaped teethers but prefers ones he can jam into his mouth. The brush seemed soothing on his little gums and the peel handles were easy for him to grasp. My only complaint is that like all silicone stuff, it picks up lint like mad, so you can't put it down, say, on the couch, but the bag it comes in is handy as a storage bag. We held onto it just long enough for his bottom teeth to pop through, then lost it in a restaurant. Boo hoo.

2.0 out of 5 stars regular teether, November 2, 2010

This review is from: Baby Banana Bendable Training Toothbrush, Infant (Baby Product)

It is silicone teether that is shaped as a toothbrush. My baby 1 year old and had it for few months. She is chewing on handles, toothbrush part and the other side. It is not her favorite teether, but she uses it occasionally. I gave it 3 stars because the product is misrepresented. It does not develop good hygiene, and it is not training toothbrush. Infants will not learn to manipulate it in their mouth, they will chew on it. Nor does it massage gums any better than anything else babies put in their mouth. It is regular teether, just overpriced. Whoever buys it still needs to wipe their baby teeth after meals and brush it before bedtime with finger toothbrush. The teether does nothing to clean baby teeth or to train the baby in tooth brushing.

Update: When baby began using teether heavily, she started biting off tether bristles one by one. After she bit off half of them, I cut the rest, and baby stopped using the teether shortly after that.
