Lamaze Stretch the Giraffe Designed for babies from birth up to 24 months, the Lamaze Stretch the Giraffe is made to delight babies and stimulate their natural curiosity. Whether playing in his crib, sitting in the high chair, or traveling in the car, your little one will enjoy hours of interactive play and exploration with this cute, cuddly toy. Developed in conjunction with child development experts from Yale University, Stretch comes complete with a portable Lamaze link clip for easy attachment to strollers, carriers, and diaper bags.
Stimulates Baby’s Vision and Auditory Skills
When babies are first born, they see in black and white. This is why Stretch strikes a balance between bright, high contrast patterns that help stimulate baby’s vision, and bold solid colors that give baby’s eyes a place to rest. Sounds like rattle, crinkle, jingle, chime and squeak also help stimulate and develop baby’s auditory skills. Finally, Stretch’s large, friendly eyes invite baby to focus and stare at a single object, which can help calm baby while supporting healthy eye development.
Builds Coordination
Stretch has a soft, plush body and head that encourage exciting play or quiet cuddling. Stretchy legs feature colorful ribbons, knotties and clinky rings that help build coordination by rewarding baby’s pulls, squeezes and grabs with fun sounds. Baby can also clutch or chew on the safe, cheery and clinky rings around Stretch’s neck, and grasp and twist the securely fastened ears, horns and decorative ribbons.
Stretch measures 3.0 x 6.0 x 12.0 inches (WxHxD), is machine washable, and comes backed with a 90-day limited warranty.
Lamaze Stretch the Giraffe Reviews
Another great Lamaze baby toy My wife and first came across the Lamaze brand by accident. Our 4 month old loves Freddie the Firefly. We bought Stretch the Giraffe for some variety – it’s excellent. We like Freddie Firefly because of the mirror and the crinkle wings. Stretch has a different texture to the legs and our son loves pulling on them.
He loves cuddling the toy and entertaining himself with it, which is a huge lifesaver when you want some “me time” to get stuff done.
A Favorite! And Perfectly Safe IMO The first toy my son ever responded to was his “Sqeaky Bee” Sassy Busy Bugs on Board Car Seat and Stroller Toy
and after it went missing when he was 3 months old, we rushed to the store to find a replacement. While shopping, we walked by this toy and my son started talking and laughing at it. (I of course was trying to push the peacock…so beautiful, but the kid already has a mind of his own!) It was so cute…the first toy he has ever picked out all by himself! After we got home, we ended up finding “Sqeaky Bee” and realized that their faces are very similar looking…my little boy seems to be very drawn to yellow and loves looking at the friendly smile and eyes! The company has obviously put a lot of research into these toys and it sure shows. “Jeffy the Giraffe” has now surpassed “Sqeaky Bee” as his favorite, and can still make him smile when nothing else can!
As a side note – I see there has been some safety concerns with Jeffy and I have looked ours over and see no issue with him. He seems to be of better quality than most toys I have seen. As with any toy, pacifier, teether or article of clothing around your child, you should inspect them REGULARLY to make sure they are safe. Babies are hard on their toys (as my hair can attest to, LOL) and even the best made accessories can fail under such abuse.
