Review on Baby Einstein Octoplush Musical Octopus Stuffed Animal Plush Toy, Age 3 Month+, Blue, 11 by Paul Mac

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good, could be great. But good enough to buy an extra for grandparents house

I introduced it to my baby around 1 month. Baby is now 3 months now. Outside is a soft material but the music player/battery pack in the middle of the head makes for a very solid and heavy product. My son doesn't really play with the toy, at least not yet.Music 5/5 It plays 4 songs I don't get sick of. Very catchy rhythms that after 2 months I still enjoy and haven't gotten sick of. BIG PLUS!We play it during tummy time. Baby finds it relaxing so i don't have to constantly shake a rattle. Lie next to baby, One squeeze of the head, then I play use both hands to play with baby,$15 portable music player. i have an echo dot but this music is quicker and no need to filter.Volume is good. One review said its too soft. I'd argue that it may be too loud for a newborn-- Assuming it is designed to be hugged closed to the head/ear. for tummy time right now i never put it next to their head. Just off on the side or even on the couch is loud enough for the baby to hear. I would be comfortable wit it in the baby's lap or arms as long as not directly next to ear.Colors 2/5 Arms say the color that you push. Seems like a useless feature, except it cuts off the musuc and turns it off. Can be annoying if it is hit on accident. I wish there were unique settings other than 3 langauages.example. Instead of "blue", the blue cloud could say "Blue Cloud". Or replace with letters. The colored symbols are useless.Blue cloud, Purple grapes, Brown teddy bear. White Snowflake. Red cherries. Orange Flower. Yellow Star. Green Leaf.random symbols.PLayability - ?/5 Not sure yet. 3 month old hasn'ty engaged.Please excuse typos or lazy formatting. Typed with one hand while holding baby.

Pros
  • Babies can hug the octopus to hear a Baby Einstein melody and explore the textures for tactile development
Cons
  • May appeal only to musical-buffs
