Review: Wir haben uns den Elefanten gekauft, nachdem der erste geschenkte den Geist aufgegeben hatte, was aber daran lag, dass unsere damals ca ein halbes Jahr alte Tochter den Fuß immer mit dem Mund betätigt hat :-) somit musste Ersatz her. Ich finde ihn auch zu laut und die Farben zu doll, aber unsere Tochter, mittlerweile 13 Monate alt, liebt ihn nach wie vor und seit kurzem, ich hätte es aufgrund der Lautstärke und der Farben ja nicht für möglich gehalten, bringt er sie tatsächlich zum einschlafen. Meine Kleine würde sicherlich 5 Sterne geben. Toll ist auch, dass man kurze oder eben eine lange Melodie spielen kann. Letztere hilft sehr zur Beruhigung. Der Elefant ist auch süß und ansprechend. Nicht so toll finde ich die Knisterohren, wenn es als Schlafhilfe dienen soll. Ich nehme den Elefanten immer aus dem Bett, damit die Kleine nicht versehentlich "drüberknistert".
Review: Offert en cadeau et il a beaucoup plu ! Le bébé éléphant est tout doux, agréable à tenir et parfait pour les tout-petits. Très joli jouet pour câlins et moments de douceur
