Clutching Toy Kringelring

I bought this for my son when he was about 1 month old. At first he was fascinated by the sight of the little blue rings moving around. When he started grabbing things the feel of it thrilled him. He quickly learned that the colored parts are moveable and would spend quite a long time for a little baby just bending the beads. He would get mad at his other toys, particularly rattles, because he couldn't bend them. Now at almost 7 months this is and has been his favorite toy. He plays with it, chews on it, examines it and just plain loves it. So does mommy. This is a well made, durable, deceptively simple, and safe toy. It's pleasant to hold and manipulate for mommy and daddy as well as baby. The rattle sound it makes is pleasant and it's just an all around great toy. This was the first of several HABA toys that I purchased for my son. All of them have been well made and fascinating for baby. HABA seems to be completely dialed into what baby's enjoy and how the learn. I initially thought these toys were almost as cool as Lamaze toys. I was wrong. HABA's toys are the best. I highly recommend HABA toys and for younger babies Kringlering is a the best money you'll spend on a toy.

So I love this toy and so does my daughter. I like that it's made by haba, is wood, uses primary colors, and has the two blue rings that make noise when you rattle the ring. It is easy to hold on to, easy for teething, easy to use as a tool, even when a child is very young. I've found the primary colors thing to be important because even at an older age when they can see pastels, they aren't as interested in them as in primary colors. This was my daughter's favorite toy until recently (i think 9 months is where it stops being as interesting) and everyone I've given it to for baby gifts has had the same experience with their children.

My 6 week old baby was showing an interest in batting and grasping, so we ordered Kringelring. It is worth every penny. She loves the colors and the sound of the rings, and so do I. It feels good in your hand, and keeps her attention for a long time, too, up to 15 minutes--a long time for such a tiny baby. We love the design and I love HABA's reputation for safe materials and finishes. Now I want more HABA. More! P. S. We also have Sophie the giraffe, who I adore, but she does not care about in the least. Sophie is too big for her hands, but mostly she seems to object to the texture of the rubber material. Not so with Kringelring. Maybe she will grow into Sophie. I hope so.

The moment I showed it to her on St Nicholas Day, my then five month old broke out in the biggest grin and immediately reached for this thing. We already had the HABA Sunni, which she also loves. She plays with her Kringlringl daily, loves holding it in her hands and chewing on the wood. Great quality. Bright colours. Four months later and the stain has held up, even though the toy itself is clearly 'well loved' and has been banged repeatedly and forcefully against every surface imaginable. UPDATE: I'm not sure if it's her age or just that she's bored by now of the same toy, but she has lost interest at 9 months old. She might regain it, she might not. Based on personal experience, I'd recommend this toy from about 4/5 months until about 9-10 months, or until your baby starts to gain interest in more interactive toys. I still recommend it, as the 4 months that she did play with it, she really loved this thing.

Perfect clutch toy. It was one of my baby's first teethers and perfect because she could hold onto the round shape easily. One side is solid wood and the colorful part is made of pieces that fit tightly together. The change in texture was very interesting to the baby and the colors fun to look at. The two loose blue circles move around and when baby shakes the toy, they clack satisfyingly. It's perfect simplicity. She played with it for a long time and it has been a favorite. Held up beautifully. A quality toy and I like that it's wood.

I bought it well before my baby girl was born 'cause it looked good and had lots of good reviews. Now she's 9 month old and this toy remains one of her favorite. She started playing with it probably within 3-4 weeks after she was born. The surface is so nicely polished, the wood is warm in the hands, two little wood rings create a little calming sound and run around the big circle, the rainbow part is flexible... All these features were carefully explored by my little baby month after month. Even now, I often find this rattle in her hand when she falls asleep. Amazing that something so simple can be so useful.

Yes, my baby didn't like it, he prefers more Sassy Talk & Fold Phone and Sophie the teether. I was really anxious to purchase this Kringelring toy, It looks really nice and light, very colorful , a little thick. However my son has had it for 5 months and has shown no interest at all. He will hold it for a few seconds before throwing it away. But to say the truth it is very well-made, colorful, and nicely finished wood with natural material.

There’s an old Haba baby toy that looked similar to this, and I was hoping this would be a good replacement. It is not the same. It is very large—too large for a very small baby to grasp. The rings on the old toy were wood, and these are plastic. It’s still a very well made baby toy. I’m just disappointed because the old one was small and easy as a very first grasping toy for 3 months or so. This one is too large and heavy to be useful until maybe 6 months.

MY 3 month old LOVES this! She was grabbing but not holding until this came, now she grabs and holds win both one hand and two-- learned all in a day or two because she loves this thi so much. Takes a bit of getting used to for a baby her age (just barely three months) to get it into her mouth for teething, but I love that it is safe and natural. It's also lightweight and the coloured beads have some give so that they bend-- all meaning she's not going to hurt herself if she smacks herself with it. Love it.

Very nice teether and of very good quality. My daughter bites it all the time and even hits it against the crib and is still as good as new. I have used similar products that broke after a couple of drops or had their colour peeled off after a few uses. I would highly recommend it for children older than 5 months.

Super

Bought this for my 4 month old son, he absolutly loves it. This has easily become his favourite teether, and it comes everywhere with us.

My 5 month old son absolutely loves this toy! Makes an excellent teether. Great quality. Would definitely recommend!
