LAMAZE L27128 Tug and Play Knot Baby Toy

This toy is fantastic. Lamaze seem to have thought of everything and it is a good size for baby. All the Lamaze toys are well thought out and although I feel it may not look as appealing to adults as some other ones (dolls, robots, etc) I feel this one is superior to have from birth. My son is now 5 months old and it is his favourite. He can hold it himself which he enjoys as it has many 'legs' to grab onto and is light enough that he can throw it around and pick it up. It has so many parts to it that he can always find something different, whether it's a squeak, a rattle or a crinkle noise. The different textures are furry, velour, ribbed, small string bobbles and a plastic mirror is also attached. The teething rings are very helpful on it. It is great value for money and is so compact that you can take it everywhere. I find it gives the entertainment value of taking 5 different toys with the bonus of teething rings. It also has a clip where you can attach it to the pram or car seat. Due to its multi functions and bright colours I feel it will grow with baby as he starts to notice even more things about it like the colours and different material patterns. I would highly recommend.

My niece loved this from 4 months old. Lots to grab hold of, explore, suck and feel. Different textures and shapes and always something good to suck on. Plus it has lots of grab points. The knot is static but each arm can be pulled as coordination increases so there's more to discover. Don't know if it's by design or accident but ours also have different resistances to being pulled making it more interesting as she grows. She loves the green star which is a great teether and is bobbly on one side and with raised curvy waves on the other. The ball with knotted threads which are good to chew too has a bell inside and two kinds of texture inlcuding ribbed short fur. The triangle has hairy fur on one side, smooth on the other and crinkles when squeezed. The soft fabric star is velvety fur on one side and smooth fabric on the other with a squeaker inside. The mirror is good to enough for a decent reflection with velvety fabric on the back with bold stripes. Finally the activity not shown in the photo is two teething rings, one yellow one orange and one is ribbed the other bobbly. It has a good clip to hang it from which is apparently good to chew also. It's light enough for baby to hold and well made. Very very pleased. Well worth the money.

I bought this toy recently for my four month old baby and she absolutely LOVES it. She is pretty curious and gets easily bored when in the car or pushchair, but this knot keep her entertained for ages. It has a nice mix of textures and colours, and a mirror - it squeaks and jingles too. It sounds like a small thing but I've found it very useful to have such a large, flexible clip to attach the toy to the play-gym, car seat or pushchair. Our buggy has quite a thick safety bar across the front but the clip is easy to take on and off quickly when we're out and about. As with other Lamaze products the finish of this toy is excellent, it seems very sturdy and the materials are good quality. Highly recommended!

One of the best intelligent hanging toys you can get for a newborn baby. Machine washable too!

This is another lovely product from Lamaze, it has lots of different elements to keep baby amused. He is a little young to really appreciate and get to grips with it properly yet (3 months old), but he does love the mirror and the noise from the rattle and is starting to get a bit more interested in gripping it. It is nice as it is not as bulky as some of the other Lamaze toys, he has a Captain Calamari (octopus) which hangs from the baby gym, but it would be too big to carry round, so this knot is ideal.

What this toy lacks in cute-appeal it more than makes up for in practicallity. Whilst other toys in the range are lovely characters they can be a bit bulky for small babies to handle. Not this one- my son handles this one at ease. He started teething by the time he was 3 months old but could not control his hands and arms well enough to post bits of the bulkier toys into his mouth to chew but this one is easy for him to grab and wherever he grabs on this toy theres something close to his hand that he can chew. It is easy for him to lift to his mouth with just one hand without the bits he wants to chew swinging away under the weight of the toy. Finally he can sooth his own teething pain when he wants to! Each of the ropes with toys attached can be pulled back and forth through the knot- my baby watches agog while I show him this and I'm sure he will play that game himself when he is older. It has everything that that all of the other toys in the range have- in terms of rattles, mirrors, rings, crinklies etc However, it does seem to me that this toy will have a shorter useful life span that the character toys- there seems little potential for imaginitive play with this one when my kids get older than there is with the characters BUT this toy IS ideally suited for the younger baby, and at this price theres no reason not to get this for this special time in your babies life, along with the character toys for when they get a bit older. Very highly recommended

We were given this as a gift when our son was 12 weeks old - I really wish we'd come across it sooner, he absolutely loves it. In fact he's chewed it and sucked on it so much I'm thinking of getting him a new one and he's 8 months old now. He loves exploring the different shapes and textures with his hands and mouth, it's easy for him to grab hold of and the colours are bright and catch his attention. One bit jingles, another squeaks, one bit has a mirror and another is hard and knobbly, perfect for sore gums. It's the one toy we never, ever leave the house without. Of all the Lamaze toys I think this one is the best, the others are often design and style over content but the Activity Knot is a triumph of practical design. I really can't recommend it enough.

This toy has definitely been one of my son's favourites - he's just hit 7 months old, and this is fantastic for him. Very well constructed, and lots of different colours, shapes, textures and sounds - it is a really engaging toy. The picture doesn't make it clear, but the attachments are on different ends of the same soft "link". So buy pulling one of the sides that is "in" at the moment, you make it come "out" and retract the one that is already "out", so variety can be added. The ball shape has a bell in it so it jingles, the triangular piece you can see with the red border has a mirror on one side and high contrast stripes on the other. One of the attachments also has a squeaker in it, and the star is a "rubbery" teether. It easily clips onto car-seats and prams. All in all, another great Lamaze product (my son also has Freddie the Firefly and Cap'n Kalamari)
