Problem of the Giraffe Sophie Vulli Teether

Excellent teether and toy. I highly recommend Sophie– our son loves her! He smiles every time we hand her to him. She has many surfaces that are great for chewing (and he chews a lot): feet, ears, neck and face. She’s very durable and easy to keep clean. The high contrast spots are visually appealing. And it’s nice that it’s natural rubber. This reminds me of a product that might have been around when we were little, which is refreshing nowadays with the plethora of battery-driven, light-up toys, etc.

Not Worth It. If this cute little Giraffe cost eight or ten dollars, I probably would have given Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether three stars. However, it doesn’t. For some reason no matter how many times I tell my 10 month old that it’s hand painted and from France, she doesn’t like it any more. You’re certainly paying a premium because it is imported, and if that’s your thing, great, if not, you’re not getting something magical in the product.

Bottom line is, if your baby likes plastic/rubber teethers, they will likely enjoy this. If they don’t like teethers, expect them to treat Sophie the exact same way they treat the other items. In the case of my child, that’s throwing the item on the floor and ignoring it each and every time it is put near her.

this teether is featured in the classic 3 Men and a Baby. I just noticed this morning when I caught the end of the movie-

in the emotional taxi scene towards the end, this is the last thing he gives the baby:)

my son loved teething on this and it is great for reaching both the back 2 year old molars and the tough front canines-

my son still likes to play with his giraffe!
