I find it alarming just how many parents are praising this thing. As a parent, you want to protect your children. When learning about all the protective measures this toy takes, most parents would be on board. But I know better. I did a little under-the-microscope research and have reached some alarming conclusions about this toy.
First of all, the name “Sophie” (a nickname for “Sophia”) is of Greek origin. A little known fact is that the ancient Greeks oftentimes ate their young for food or sacrificed them to their many gods. Giving a baby toy a name that descends from a line of baby-eaters is puzzling.
Even more puzzling is the deliberate use of a giraffe. There are no records of a giraffe appearing in Greece in the wild. How then are we supposed to believe that this thing can be both Greek AND a giraffe if the combination is simply not possible?
This choice of species is even more alarming to anybody who has read the Greek epic “The Odyssey”. At one point in the story, Odysseus and his crew arrive on the shores of Africa and encounter none other than a giraffe. The giraffe was seen as a demonically tainted horse and struck fear into the hearts of Odysseus and his men.
Still not convinced? Look at the gallery of customer-submitted pictures. The majority of these photos feature a baby masticating the face of their Sophie toy. A cute gesture, or the only defense a baby has against the demonic animal? Think what you believe, but my research points towards the latter option.

I bought this toy for my son thinking it was going to be amazing based on what I’ve been told and read. Perhaps my expectations were too high but when I received this chew toy I started laughing. Now my son actually likes the toy ok but I think you could walk down any animal isle in a store and pick up a dog chew toy and it would do the same thing. Honestly when my friends hear how much I paid for this they laugh at me and everyone who comments on it thinks I’m letting my son play with a dog toy. It even squeaks like a dog toy! lol My advice would be to buy a different much cheaper baby toy that will get the job done just as well as this one minus the funny looks people give when they see your child chewing on a dog toy in public. The only positives I see are that this is a natural rubber which is why I brought myself to buy this in the first place.

Other moms have recommended this toy to me, but honestly I can’t really rate the toy yet since I bought it for my son as a Christmas gift and it’s not Christmas yet. I’m hoping he will love teething on the giraffe. It’s cute and looks perfect for little mouths. Time will tell how great this product really is.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3CAR7QQD3OJAW Sophie is not a toy to us. She’s a member of the family. She has a pleasant squeak that’s only slightly nerve racking. But she’s French so we excuse the annoyance.
Our son cut 4 teeth in a month. Thank you Sophie!

I hate this thing. it’s basically a dog toy. the plastic smells and the rubber squeaks on the baby’s gums, even he hates it. It’s an over priced dog toy and i wish i never bought it
