Whoozit - Manhatten Toy

Brilliant toy. We got one as a gift for our first child and purchased one for our second as we were so impressed. It was DS's favourite toy for around 2 years!

My LO wasn't sure of this when she was a newborn but has loved it since she was about 5mo. Hard to clean though - it still smells a bit of baby drool even though I've hand washed it loads!

Great for keeping DS entertained, it was one of the few things he would always get into playing with and that would actually keep him quiet for a little while! One of the best toys he had at that age. Pity it didn't work for DD though - just proves that one toy doesn't fit all babies!

Comments from other mumsnetters: A psychedelic octopus, with both black and white for newborns and colours for the older baby. "There is a lot to explore, with rattles and scrunchy pieces plus all the different textures and contrasting colours". "You can wrap it round the car seat handle, the cot, a chair and it keeps my baby amused for hours". "This was the only toy that kept the whole of my postnatal group's babies happy". "Definitely the best toy to stop a newborn crying".

A new baby gift from some friends, we didn't think much of it, but our son loved it from the beginning. The black and white side was good from birth, the squeaker is beloved and the dangly bits are perfect for chewing. I was surprised by how much he loves this.
