Jordan Awarded The Ethan The Fox Teething Toy 5/5

Bright colourful and appealing. A great idea for a natural teether. Great design eye catching much better than a standard teether. No matter where he grabbed he could hold it.  A great teether as it never leaves his mouth.  Absolutely love the distinctive noise this makes as it is great for getting his attention and making it interesting so he doesn’t get bored. The colour is warm and comforting and appeals to all his senses and he adores it. No matter where he chewed he could get it to where his gums were hurting. Loved the smell as it smells natural and clean with no artificial odours. We used this daily, hourly as often as he can aside from me cleaning it because it got dropped. My son loves this and sleeps with it too. It is very important to me this is made of natural products because I know it’s safe and harmless for my baby. Brilliant quality and well worth the money. It solves a range of issues not just sore gums. I loved how easy to grab it is because it limits the trips I make too pick it back up for him. I would buy this as its worth its weight in gold. I already have recommended. Fantastic product I strongly recommend has become my sons comfort in every way and sense possible. Jordan Louise Classen – Oscar 7 Months

Ethan is a nicely packaged product and would make a nice gift for someone. Ethan reminds me of an existing product, Sophie le Giraffe. I think the concept is good. My son was visually excited by the fox and enjoyed using him to chew on. I really like the fox design. I like products that are linked to animals and the outdoors so the fox appealed to me. His vibrancy and noise really appealed to my son. He is a little big for small hands but my some did learn how to manoeuvre him. Although he did drop it a lot! It certainly satisfied my teething son! I’m not sure I would use the word distinctive. However, my son enjoyed that it made a noise and laughed when I squeaked it for him. The squeaker did remind me a little of a dog toy which was a little off putting but, as I have said, my son was very responsive to the noise. I would agree the vibrant colour really attracted him to the product.  My son didn’t use the tail. He mainly enjoyed the fox’s face. The whiskers were his favourite. Although, they did sometimes make his mouth a little red and he chewed so hard on it. I took it away at this point. I didn’t notice a smell. We would use this regularly. My son did bond with this toy and really enjoyed the noise of the toy. I wouldn’t want my baby putting anything in their mouth that wasn’t as natural as possible. Very good quality- although I didn’t like it makes his mouth a little red. I think £13.99 is a little overpriced. Other quality teethers are available from around £10 and I’m not sure Ethan stands out above this price range. However I think he is a quality product around the £10 marker. I loved the colour, design and sound. My son has really enjoyed using him and I can see him being popular for a little while as a teether and as a toy. I would purchase this if it was a little cheaper. I would recommend, although I am mindful it made my sons face a little red so I would have to tell them that. Ethan is an enjoyable teether and you for my little one. He has been soothing and fun to play with. My son really enjoyed the squeaker. Anna Ronchetti – Ozzy 8 Months

A cute design with nice colours. It was a little bigger than expected. The pointy face, big feet and ears made sense as shapes that would be good for chewing. It is a lovely cartoons fox that grabs the attention of my son. I like that it is very unisex and would appeal to a wide age range (i.e. not very babyish or pastel coloured). It really depends on which part of it he tries to hold. Holding one leg is great for him but he does struggle with other bits. When he has a good grip he will gnaw on this for a while. Sometimes he would drop it before he could use it for long and this would frustrate it. It took me a while to realise that it did squeak but when it does it is a clear and loud sound. I wouldn’t say he bonded. He wouldn’t pick it out over other objects but would seem engaged if it was passed to him. The shape meant that there was always something he got get a grip on with his gums regardless of which way up it was.  I never noticed the smell which is a good thing! We used this couple of times every day for the last couple of weeks. If it was handed to him he would try and look at it and turn it round for a few minutes as well as chew it.  It is important to me this is natural as I want to be happy that he can use it as often as he feels he wants to. It has been used a lot and isn’t showing any signs of wear and tear. I like that it is all one continuous piece of material. I think that cheaper products may be just as effective for chewing on but the nice design means it would be a lovely gift. I loved the cartoony design. Because it’s not too babyish or gender specific I don’t mind it being around the house for me too look at regularly. I would buy this but probably as a gift. I would recommend if they were specifically looking for a teether. I think that it offers a great alternative to Sophia le giraffe for example. A fun design which my son likes chewing and I like to look at. Claire Earl – Max 7 Months
