I have to say, this toy is great. We bought then for our daughter when she was 4 months old (7 months now) and she just loves them. As they are small and easily movable, we use them in the car, have them velcro'd to her car seat handles, lay them with her on her play mat and bring them into the restaurant. Whenever she gets fussy, we give one to her and she is good for 15 minutes. Perfect for the family on the move.

I don't know what I would have done without these bugs. They kept my daughter entertained for hours while she was in her infant carseat. Now that she is in the larger carseat I have found other places to attach them because they are her favorite travelling toy. This is one toy that I will be saving for her memory box!

I bought these for my 3 month old, since she is just starting to bat and grab at hanging toys. Here are the pros and cons of the bugs:

Pros
1) They can be hung from multiple places, including the car seat, bouncy seat, and swing.
2) Can be used as wrist rattles
3) Brightly colored, keeps my babies attention
4) They don't hang down too far, so they don't hit my baby in the face while they are hooked to her car seat.

Cons
1) The dragonfly is supposed to have beads in its tail that rattle. Unfortunately, the beads are so tightly packed into the tail that they don't rattle at all; also, there is a yellow mesh fabric that covers the tail so you can barely even see the beads. I had researched this product online first before buying and was under the impression that the beads were easy to see in the tail. I was very disappointed when I took this bug out of the package and it wasn't anything like how it was represented online. The beads may as well not even be in the tail, since they are pretty much non-functioning.
2) The dragonfly is also supposed to buzz and vibrate when you pull it down. It does, but it only buzzes/vibrates for a split second, not nearly long enough for my baby to even realize what's going on!
3) The grasshopper is supposed to rattle, but when I shake it, I can barely hear the rattle sound coming from inside its body. The ladybug is the only bug out of the three that has a nice chime sound that entertains my baby.

I'm glad I bought these, because my baby does like them. I just was a bit disappointed that they were different than what they were represented to be on the online information.

Bugs on Board is a great toy for newborns to sixth months and even beyond. From personal experience, this toy was a delight and brought upon some of baby's first smiles. It's great for when traveling in the car, in a bouncer, or just as a toy. The velcro strap also makes these toys very easy to use and to move around. They are very convenient and fun, a great addition to any baby's first toy collection.

I got these as a shower gift and put them on my son's car seat handle right away. They were the first thing my son ever try to grab and they kept him entertained. He outgrew his infant seat early (long boy) but we have found other places to attached these bugs. We sometimes hook the velcro around his wrist so he has a chew toy he can't drop. They also work well when you go out to eat to hook on the side of the high chair. They are very colorful, have great crinkly wings and wash well. My son loves them.

My daughter loves her bugs on board. We bought them when she was born and have watched her develop with her bugs on board. When she was 0-3 months, she would stare at them passively. The high contrast and bright colors were good for her to focus as her eye's developed. Starting at about 4 months she developed the motor skills to hit and grab at the bugs on board.

If you have a travel system, they are always with the car seat whether you're at home, in the car, in the stoller or even on an airplane. We traveled to three countries and bugs on board was attached to her infant seat the whole time. (We saw bugs on board for 3x the price at some fancy baby store in London). While its true, most infant car seat toys stay attached to the seat, bugs on board is small and soft so that you don't have to be concerned baby hitting hard plastic when taking baby out of the car seat, putting her in the car seat or in a car accident.

My five month old daughter loves her "bugs" that we've attached to her car seat. Now that she is beginning to teethe, she jams them into her mouth any chance she gets. The other toys she has may fall out of the car seat, but with these bugs attached to the handle, they aren't going anywhere. Keeps her pretty entertained for our jaunts around town. The only thing that kind of creeps me out is that one of the bugs looks like a giant tick. But maybe that's just me...

These Bugs are awesome. My son is 5 months old now and just loves them. They have very bright colors that keep the childs attention, and the wings make crinkle sounds and the bodies of the bugs are rattles. They wash very very well. I just threw them in the washer with his clothes because I had them attached to his infant carrier and he likes to chew on them. They attach with velcro and you can pretty much attach them anywhere. We are going to attach them to the stroller once he moves to a larger car seat. Great value for the entertainment.

Our daughter thinks that her carseat is the most horrible thing. We bought these bugs for her carseat when she was 1 month old and when she gets upset we say "look at your bugs" and she just looks from one to the next. The bugs really calm her down. The bright colors are great and she is now old enought to where she swats at the for fun as well. It is definately the best $9 I have spent yet!

My friend bought these little bugs for my daughter. What a great idea! When my daughter was in the infant carrier, these little guys kept her busy and her hands occupied. When we were taking a walk, I simply put them on the stroller and away we went. I used them from 2 months old until she out grew the carrier. I highly recommend!
