I have been concerned about lead paint in toys from China, so I was happy to find this German-made product instead. I gave this to my daughter for her first birthday and she loves it. She likes to chew on it and spin the face. I appreciate the solid wood construcion and the fact that the cloth part can be removed for easy washing.

This is another beautiful toy from Haba. It comes apart into two - the elastically bound crinkly petals part, and the wooden teether part with a face in the center that goes around. My toddler and I find games to play with it and if I engage the baby he will be interested in it, but if I leave it for him to teethe on he goes off and does something else. We bought it for him to chew on but we do everything but with it so it gets four stars. It's not really a rattle either. The petals crinkle, as I wrote before, and the face in the center goes around silently.

My son has this toy but I haven't given it to him to play with yet, so I can't comment on how much he likes it, however I am compelled to leave a review because looking at the tag on this toy it clearly states MADE IN CHINA. Yes Haba is a German company, and yes, some of their toys are manufactured in Germany, but some are also manufactured in China, and this product description is wrong in stating made in Germany. I have other Haba products that my son loves, and do state manufactured in Germany, but if you are looking for something not made in China, buyer beware!

My four-month-old daughter loves this toy and will almost always choose it over anything else in reach. The ring shape and the soft petals make it great for developing hand skills -- she has a pretty good success rate in her attempts to pick it up. The petals are stuffed with different materials with varied textures and sounds and the face in the middle spins and slides side to side making a clacking sound that is inoffensive to adult ears. It is safe to chew on and easy to clean. It is a terrific baby toy.

I am a big fan of this durable, cute toy! too bad my five month old doesn't really care for it. I have been trying to get him to play with it but he prefers almost everything else! too bad.. maybe when he is a little older..

My seven month old grandson loves the sound that rattles make. However, he is still learning hand/arm control, so while he is shaking rattles, he may bonk himself on the head. The soft outer edges are helpful to keep him bonk-proof. The material also gives him something to chew on. It has been one of his favorite toys since he received it two months ago. Haba produces safe toys, but they are often entirely of wood, so this was a great alternative.
