Lamaze Octotunes Musical Octopus

We love this cutie little octopus! The size of it gives a little weight, which is nice for a baby in a bouncer. The arms can rest over a toy bar, so it doesn’t fall off as quickly. The arms are a bit tough to squeeze, definitely too difficult for a baby to do. Overall we love the octotunes! May be a little difficult to clean.

Wonderful! Sounds are great. Simple.

So soft and colorful. The music aspect makes this an awesome toy for kids. The tones are soft and not obnoxious like most musical toys. My son had one when he was small and loved it so much he gave one to his new nephew over 20 years later. It's stood the test of time.

This item is soft and super cute. I purchased it for my 8 month old granddaughter to play with in the car (doesn't cry if she hits herself in the head with it!). Cute sounds, would purchase again.

Very cute and fun, but didn't smell like lavender like they did years ago!

They have this toy in one of the infant rooms at the childcare center where I worked. I really liked it and enjoyed playing with it and making the babies laugh. Also, it smelled really good -- it has a nice vanilla sugar cookie scent that apparently never goes away. I liked it so much, I decided to order one for my own 6-month-old son, and was pleasantly surprised by the price (under $35!). For the brand it is, and how big it is, and just the overall quality of it, I would have expected to pay close to $50. Well, when it arrived, I noticed that with the musical arms (they work/sound like bicycle horns), the lowest note was out of tune with the rest -- it was flat. My husband said it was not a big deal and thought it was silly of me to care about that. But I told him that the one at work is perfectly in tune, this one is just defective. So I exchanged it (customer service for that was great, by the way. UPS came a day or two later to pick it up and the new one arrived I think on the same day). The new one is still sounding slightly flat though. It's not as significantly off as the other one so it's not worth exchanging again but this is why I'm rating it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, this is a great toy and I would highly recommend it!!! My son loves it! His favorite part so far, is the crinkly sounding handle on the top. He also likes to just sit and inspect the colors & textures on it, and lean in & hug it.

While the reviewer who said it is not very easy to squeeze the arms to create notes is correct, it is still an excellent toy and my son loves it. He loves to squeeze the entire toy and I imagine that by 1 year he should have no problem squeezing the arms himself. When he is fussy I start making some simple music and he loves it. pros: 1) Great introduction to musical notes, especially if you are musically inclined and can name the notes 2) Excellent colors 3) No Batteries 4) smells good. I has a strong vanilla smell although I do worry how it has that smell (I assume some not so friendly chemicals but I do not know for sure) 5) Large! Not some tiny toy that a kid can just throw around Cons: 1) A little difficult to squeeze the arms for a very young child. 12 months and over is probably the average age that a baby will be able to create notes themselves. That's really all...great toy!

My 6 month old loves this toy, keeps him happy wherever we go Each little noise makes him giggle and the stem is the perfect size for him to have a good grip on

Un jouet magnifique

Muy buen muñeco para niños y super didáctico y divertido además del aroma frutal Viene verde pero me llego en amarillo tomar en cuenta al comprar que no hay opción de color puede llegar uno distinto al verde

Ottimo per mio figlio disabile come ausilio alle stimolazioni sensoriali

not a fan neither is my son , he loves the other lamaze octo , but this one he doesnt care for also very hard to squeeze the tunes ! not worth the price
