Got this for my two month old boy... Don't think he was quite ready then... he is almost 5 months now and is getting ready to start teething... He still looks at this in bemusement and would not hold it for long. Guess it would be better when he gets older.... Had to get him another teether as this appears too big for his mouth.... I'm a fan of baby Einstein toys. Guess this isn't a hit for now. He loves the bendy ball though...
