Bright Starts Oball Shaker BPA-Free Rattle Baby Toy, Age Newborn+

As our son began to reach out and show a budding ability to bat, pinch & grab items of interest, we decided it was time to try a rattle. We had received many cloth & stuffed toy rattles as gifts, but these proved a bit too hard to hold onto in these very early stages of gripping. He also had a hard plastic ring rattle that was easier to grip but would easily hit himself in the face with enthusiasm! I wanted a rattle with thinner and softer surfaces; this proved to be it! The thin, weblike structures give little fingers the perfect opportunity to practice pinching & gripping, and the rattle is lightweight enough to be swung about with ease. The webbing is a bit tougher than I imagined, but he has yet to hurt himself with even the most enthusiastic swings. Be mindful that it can roll away when dropped! (That might be a surprise bonus feature for crawling babies, but we’ll probably skip taking this on a plane.) Truly great rattle for developing hand-eye coordination, grip, muscle control, cause and effect and just plain auditory & visual entertainment. Highly recommend!

Brilliant for on the go and in the nappy bag. My baby loves playing with this everywhere we go and keeps him entertained while out. It’s pretty quiet for a rattle but that works for us. Bright colours and fun textures.

Good quality, baby can grasp the ends and it's helpful for them to learn passing from hand to hand. He also loves the bright colour and the rattle grabs his attention.

Easy for baby to hold and lots of shapes and texture to explore but lost interest pretty quick.

I was recommended to get an oball for my baby to improve tongue mobility.This rattle is light to hold and the perfect size for small hands.The noise it makes is fairly subtle but for babies (& parents!) ears is fine. My baby enjoys shaking it now he's old enough to and he does appear to move his tongue more since using this and a bigger oball toy.I would still recommend supervision due to the use of screws and small parts within the plastic rattle part.

Excellent toy for entertaining our infant. He can grab any part and loves to shake it.He got it at 5 months and 8 weeks later still likes it

Good for babies and for their grip

My baby loves it. A must have for new parents. Built tough too.
