My name is Shelby and this is my video review of my 5-month-old son playing with Sophie the Giraffe. We love Sophie. She is very well-made and I hope seeing Sophie in action will be helpful to others. Also, I think I repeat myself a little in the video--sorry about that!
*****UPDATE 3 AND 1/2 YEARS LATER*****
Little Theo in the video is turning 4 at the end of this month and I wanted to comment on what a long and useful life his Sophie had. She endured years of some very hard chewing and never cracked, tore, or got any holes. She got a little dirty and lost some paint, but other than that she was still going strong when Theo finally outgrew her. Her long legs turned out to be perfect for those 2 year molars as well, since they reached all the way back. I ended up throwing her away since it seemed like a really gross hand-me-down, but she was structurally in as good a condition as the day we bought her.
Now we're on baby #2 and Sophie #2. Our daughter had six teeth (four on top, two bottom) when we adopted her at 16 months old and she took to Sophie right away. If you're wondering if Sophie is a good teether for an older infant or a child who already has some teeth and a strong jaw, I give that a wholehearted "Yes!" As long as there are still teeth coming in, Sophie is fantastic.
Please be aware that no young child should be left unattended with any toy including Sophie. Because of her size and shape, she is easy to remove from a child's mouth should something go wrong. As I said, our Sophie lasted over 3 years without any cracking or splitting.
We STILL love Sophie, even after all of these years. Happy teething!

My 5 month old daughter LOVES her Sophie the Giraffe toy! This toy is absolutely wonderful in every way. Sophie is made of soft rubber and makes a pleasant-sounding squeak whenever any part of her body is squeezed, so even a young baby can elicit a reaction from the toy with minimal effort.
I don't know what it is about Sophie, but whenever my daughter plays with her, she gets very vocal and talkative.
I saw another review which referred to this toy as "a glorified dog toy". That reviewer is mistaken, and simply doesn't realize the value of this toy.
- Sophie's body, while soft, has several areas of thicker rubber (the nubs on her head, her ears, and her feet) which are perfect for teething babies to gnaw on for relief.
- Sophie's contrasting colors (spots) are visually stimulating to a baby.
- She is easy to grip given her long, thin neck.
- This toy is made of 100% natural rubber and uses food-grade paint (SAFE!).
- This is a quality baby toy which will last for many years.
I would much rather pay $20 for a safe, engaging toy for my baby, than pay $5 for some piece of junk with lead paint.

We just got this for our infant, and I couldn't help but give it a bit of a test chew, myself. Now, I obviously don't have a huge deal of experience (or, memory, rather) with teething toys, but this is good stuff. Very satisfying to bite on. I'm thinking of getting a second one for myself to use in the office to deal with stress. Much better than my kid's silicone pacifier, which I've also tried.
My only complaint is that the giraffe appears to have fluorescent lip stick, which is a bit disconcerting to see in a giraffe, even a French one.

Perfect Teether
My son at 5 months already has his two bottom teeth and is trying to put everything in his mouth. If he can't reach where he wants to chew he gets sorta fussy but Sophie has so... Read more

My Childs Favorite Teether
I love love love Sophie. I have had one for both of my daughters. It is great to know they are chewing on something that does not contain all those harmful chemicals.

Sophie
This toy was given to my grandson and it became his favorite. It is easy to handle and he loves chewing the nose because he likes it so much I continue to buy it for other babies.

Not sure what the hype is
So I got suckered into getting this. I guess all babies are different. Mine loved the Vulli Vanilla flavored teething rings but hes not at all interested in this giraffe. Read more

Great toy! My baby loves it. She chews on it all the time. I would definitely recommend it for kids older then 4 months old.

I'll be honest...I bought this toy because all the hip parents seem to have one too and I wanted to be a part of the "hip parent" crowd. Read more

Squeaks
I didn't realize that this teether squeaks. I'm sure the reviews mention it, but I didn't even look into it, since everybody has one of these. Read more

For my neice
She loves her Sophie. Ever since she got it for x-mas, she started making this terrible high pitch screeching and we all think it was Sophie's influence.
