My two month old is very intrigued by this toy. If she's fussy, making the discs clap together will distract her. I can't wait until she is older and can make them clap on her own. I like the quality of the wooden toys, and the finish is awesome. I buy this toy for my friends when they have kids!

My seven-month old and I both love the Rattling Caterpillar! It is adoreable and clearly durable, and my daughter loves to grab it, bite it, and rattle it. I love that it can be attached to her stroller with the elastic loop on top, so she can let it go without it crashing to the ground. Highly recommended!

I love that this toy is made w/ non-toxic paint. It's very cute and I'm sure will be very durable. The string that holds it all together is elastic...so when you pull on the ring on the bottom, the little pieces click & clack together. The red loop on the top looks like it will be able to stretch and attach to anything (car seat, stroller, etc.) Nothing fancy - just a simple, cute toy.

This is a petite toy. Perfect for little hands to grasp and manipulate. The colors are vivid and attention grabbing. My little one likes to gnaw the ring. The loop at the top can be attached to whatever baby is in so it doesn't fall on the floor. The cord is elastic, so pulling on it is also a bit of fun as it gives and takes. Every piece is movable and shaking it will result in a clacking noise that isn't loud, but does let baby know that shaking gets results.

It's a cute toy and clearly durable. But it doesn't really keep my baby's interest for more than a few seconds. He doesn't even seem interested in teething on it. He was 8 months old when I bought it for him, if that makes any difference. We've had it for two months and it mostly just sits there and looks cute.

This is one of my new favorites! I bought the green toy clip to clip it to my son's car seat. The colors are vibrant, and the sounds the wooden pieces make when it's yanked on are pleasant. Everybody stops to admire it and asks where we bought it. It clips anywhere so it's secure and we don't have to worry about losing our precious Haba toy!

This is a really cute little toy, but neither of my children ever showed any interest in it.

This toy is beautifully made and great quality. Nothing short of what you expect from HABA. Unfortunately, I had to return it because I purchased this with the intention of attaching it to my baby's infant carseat handle. No matter where I positioned it on the handle, it was not long enough for her to hold the toy in her hand. She would get so frustrated because it was just beyond her reach that it would make her cry. It was only long enough for her to grasp the ring and didn't really make much of a clapping noise when shaken. I really wanted her to enjoy it, especially because of the teething ring on the end, but this didn't work for me and what I intended to use it for. I know that if the elastic band was made any longer, it would be a potential hazard for babies.

My 8 month old enjoys teething on and throwing this toy. I can have her bite on it with no worries, unlike some of her other "Made in China" cheap and poorly made toys that we have received as gifts. This is our first Haba toy purchase, I already see myself buying more Haba toys, given its great quality and durability. Although they are pricier than other toys on the market, they are well worth every penny spent.
Be forewarned that it can hurt when baby throws this toy while you are carrying her and it lands on your foot!

This is the first toy that my daughter actually grasped in her hand (hence the high educational rating). I think that was approaching 3 mo? Can't quite remember. By 4 mo, she had discovered that she could make the little worm click.

The toy is a worm made of a bunch of wooden beads and disks strung along a nylon-coated red elastic (much like a hair elastic). It's stretchy enough for a baby to pull on, and tight enough that it all goes back together when you let go, but not so tight as to risk pinching fingers.

I have it hanging from her car seat handle bar (which, by the way, is totally against the rules, so you shouldn't do it... I'm just a bad mom that way) and it makes my daughter really happy when we go out with the stroller wheels. The little handle is just the perfect size for her little grip, and she gets a kick out of making noise. She also appears to love the texture on her gums, because she chews and slobbers on the ring all the time.

This is definitely a favorite toy and the premium price is totally worth it to me because it is non-toxic and very high in quality.
