I didn’t know what to expect when I purchased this other than a super cute toy for my infant… well, I am so surprised at how quality this is! The stitch on all sides of the rattle is tight and it appears the added parts (like the hair and the wings) are very secure. So far, this has held up really well for various aged kids who have gotten a hold of it - infant to 10 years - with just some minimal wear on the ring. I also love the toned down and neutral colors of this toy. I think it would make a great baby shower gift and am going to keep in mind for future friends!
