Waste of money
Hard for babies to push the number buttons. Speaker is on the back so if it’s laying down flat and they’re pushing the buttons, you can’t hear it. There’s also only one volume. There was no try me button so I had to take it out of the packaging to try it and now I can’t return it. Complete waste of 12.99

Cute small toy, perfect for the diaper bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little one (age bracket 12-18 months) likes interacting and playing with this toy. I currently have the soft phone stashed in his diaper bag to use if we're out and desperate for something to cheer him up. He loves the light up buttons on it and the music and sounds. He will pretend talk on the phone, smile, giggle, and be pretty entertained. He doesn't play with the phone too often because we really enjoy saving it for if we're traveling or out and he gets a bit restless. We'll typically start with a book and when he gets tired of that there's the hippo phone! I love that it doesn't have a screen! We try to limit screen time.

Toddler favorite!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far my son’s favorite phone toy by far, he’s just beginning to gain vocabulary and I’ve noticed he mimics and repeats after hello hippo the most! I’m so happy it’s helping him gain words!

So cute!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 10 month old son loves this cute little toy! We attach it to his car seat and he kicks it to hear the sounds and songs! It is soft around the sides but hard on the front and back, making it easy to hold as well.

Soft, lights, & music
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My baby liked pretend playing on this toy. The bottoms like up and play music which he was a fan of. I do like that it has a way to attach to car seat handles if your child is smaller.

Super cute
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My toddler loves this toy. It’s both plush and interactive, and keeps him busy. The strap at the top is great for attaching for a car seat or other gear. Unlike a lot of baby toys, it is not overly loud, and the tones play only when buttons are pushed - no random loud noises play when the toy is not being used. Overall, my son enjoys this toy, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Finally a quiet toy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is it a reasonable sound level but there's no adjustment. Thank goodness lol. Other than that the buttons are easy enough for my 5 month old to pain and enjoy. The outside is like a fuzzy cloth so chews are a must.

Nice and portable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My baby likes the voice of this toy and the fuzzy texture of the corners. It's also a convenient size to take wherever baby goes. However, the buttons are a bit hard to push for a baby still working on fine motor skills. Also, you can only spot clean the fabric part and my baby was trying to chew all over it, plastic and all.

A cute toy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter absolutely loved it. She enjoys the sounds and bright lights of this toy. I love that it doesn’t have any sharp corners. The back is actually plushy soft fabric and the buttons have silicon covering so you don’t have to worry about kids hurting themselves. Love the cute hippo!
