This is a cute giraffe and totally machine washable, which is very important to me. The only downside is not enough plastic rustling sounds, which I think baby likes. The peacock is very rustly, but in my opinion, not as friendly-looking as the giraffe. My son seems to be drawn to the yellow.

Stretch the Giraffe is definitely nice. He doesn’t, however, hold my 5 month old daughter’s attention for very long. By far her favorite is Freddie the Firefly. She’s had it since she was 3.5 months old and has played with it consistently almost every day since. I also recently bought her Princess Sophie which is super cute and she likes that one too.

My wife and first came across the Lamaze brand by accident. Our 4 month old loves Freddie the Firefly. We bought Stretch the Giraffe for some variety – it’s excellent. We like Freddie Firefly because of the mirror and the crinkle wings. Stretch has a different texture to the legs and our son loves pulling on them.
He loves cuddling the toy and entertaining himself with it, which is a huge lifesaver when you want some “me time” to get stuff done.
This is a great price on Amazon. It’s $5 more at [...].

The first toy my son ever responded to was his “Sqeaky Bee” Sassy Busy Bugs on Board Car Seat and Stroller Toy
and after it went missing when he was 3 months old, we rushed to the store to find a replacement. While shopping, we walked by this toy and my son started talking and laughing at it. (I of course was trying to push the peacock…so beautiful, but the kid already has a mind of his own!) It was so cute…the first toy he has ever picked out all by himself! After we got home, we ended up finding “Sqeaky Bee” and realized that their faces are very similar looking…my little boy seems to be very drawn to yellow and loves looking at the friendly smile and eyes! The company has obviously put a lot of research into these toys and it sure shows. “Jeffy the Giraffe” has now surpassed “Sqeaky Bee” as his favorite, and can still make him smile when nothing else can!
As a side note – I see there has been some safety concerns with Jeffy and I have looked ours over and see no issue with him. He seems to be of better quality than most toys I have seen. As with any toy, pacifier, teether or article of clothing around your child, you should inspect them REGULARLY to make sure they are safe. Babies are hard on their toys (as my hair can attest to, LOL) and even the best made accessories can fail under such abuse.

I am the original writer of the previous Warning post! Thank you M. Windham for posting my story for me. I am glad my word travelled FAST today!
YES….this toy is a danger. Lamaze actually sells several other “characters” similar to stretch that appear to have this same issue. Very THIN fabric and POOR single stitching is all that comes between your baby’s mouth and SMALL parts, rattles and stuffing inside the feet. The rattles and squeakers are the PERFECT size for lodging in your babies throat.
Take this thing away please before they unsuspectingly chew the stitchings off the same way my son did. My son is okay, but it’s the principal and what if’s that get me about this! How could that be over looked?? I love Lamaze toys, but will seriously be weary of thier products from now on.
