Sassy Ring O Links 9 Piece Set, Links for Stroller or Carrier Seat, 0+ Months

Cannot leave home without it! My wife calls this her "secret weapon" in our war on baby terror. This toy functions as a rattle, hand/eye coordination development aid, chew toy, utility hooks, and parental sanity aid. Our baby likes to suck on it while playing, so it's reassuring it's BPA free & Phthalate compliant according to sassybaby website.Of all the toys and rattles, this is by far my 4 months old baby's favorite. Whenever she starts to fuss or cry while we're out, we just jiggle this in front of her, and its soft clacking sound and bouncing colors always calm her down immediately. It's amazing how fascinated she is by this toy! It also has a lot of surface to easily grasp by (one-handed or two) and varied textures (some rings are lumpy, some smooth, some ribbed). You can also interlock the rings into a chain as an alternative form of toy or utility hook (be careful it doesn't become a strangulation hazard). It's also compact enough to fit in a pocket or stroller cup holder.To keep the baby occupied during meals out, we mount it dangled above the baby on the carrier/stroller handle using a looped pacifier strap like Ulubulu Universal Pacifier Clip, Oliver Owl or Velcro strap Velcro Reusable Self-Gripping Cable Ties, 0.5 Inches x 8 Inches Long, Black, 100 Ties per Pack (91140). If the baby's holding the toy instead, a pacifier strap can also clip to the bib to avoid the toy dropping on the floor.The baby and wife love this toy so much, I just bought another 2 to keep existing the one at home, one in the car, and one in the diaper bag. Of course, your particular baby may have differing tastes, but no fancy projector, sound machine, smartphone app, etc. may save your sanity and public crying baby embarrassment as quickly and easily as this ~$4 toy.Alternatives:Manhattan Toy Winkel is another great toy (baby's second favorite for grasping, staring at, and sucking) and has a soft built-in rattle, but is bulky and not as useful to hush the crying baby. To prevent the baby getting bored of the ring toy, we have her play instead with the Winkel at home.An actual rattle like Bright Starts Rattle and Shake Barbell Rattle is louder, but fails to hold my baby's attention for more than a second, and is very limited in graspable area. It may be good for an older baby, but for now, just sits at home unused.Different vendors have similar toys, some with even more rings, but none seem to have BPA & Phthalate info. Babies love putting everything in their mouths, so we try to seek only toxin-free.

Great little toy for the baby! I love that it’s colorful and there are no small parts he could choke on. It’s made of a softer plastic, so it’s not super loud when the baby shakes it.

Got this for my baby at 6weeks old. They are now over 1yr and still love it. Bright colors, endless fun. Greats for motor movement, sensory, engagement and focus. A must have for any baby! Light weight, durable, easy clean, easy to hold, safe, love love love

This toy was recommended to me by my son’s occupational therapist. My son loves this toy. The black and white base is great for contrast so he can see better. The color options are cute too. The rings are textured and a good size for babies to grip and they make a nice rattle sound to get babies attention. The hard plastic allowed me to sterilize the toy prior to him playing with it which is a plus for me :) it is also a good toy for babies to use for a longer time such as for teething. Learning dexterity (linking them). Learning colors. Simple yet versatile :)

These linking rings are simple but so versatile! My baby loves the bright colors and different textures—they're great for teething and sensory play. I use them to attach toys to the stroller, car seat, and play gym, and they stay put really well. Super lightweight and easy to clean too. Perfect for keeping little ones entertained on the go. Highly recommend for any parent of a young baby!

Perfect toy for my grand baby. He loves them!

Love these! Different textures and colors. We use them to keep toys from being thrown on the ground as a leash for the toy and also for just feeling their different textures with hands and of course mouth. They’re tough and won’t break easily with enough space to link together but won’t just fall off. Not too noisy when they clank together because they’re plastic.

We have 3 sets of these for our infant twins, and I will gift them to every new parent from now on. They are the perfect first toy for little newborns to grip and hold. They are great teethers once your baby starts to put everything in their mouths at 4 months. As they're doing tummy time and practicing reaching, they are great. At 9 months, our twins love to fling a long link of them around, and no end in sight of their enjoyment. They are easy to pull apart and link in different ways which makes them so versatile. We have a couple links in carseats, diaper bags, at the changing table. They attach to SO many things and are fun to bat at/pull on. Truthfully an incredible value for the price vs how much use you will get out of them!
