Lamaze Octotunes Musical Octopus

We love this cutie little octopus! The size of it gives a little weight, which is nice for a baby in a bouncer. The arms can rest over a toy bar, so it doesn’t fall off as quickly. The arms are a bit tough to squeeze, definitely too difficult for a baby to do. Overall we love the octotunes! May be a little difficult to clean.

So soft and colorful. The music aspect makes this an awesome toy for kids. The tones are soft and not obnoxious like most musical toys. My son had one when he was small and loved it so much he gave one to his new nephew over 20 years later. It's stood the test of time.

While the reviewer who said it is not very easy to squeeze the arms to create notes is correct, it is still an excellent toy and my son loves it. He loves to squeeze the entire toy and I imagine that by 1 year he should have no problem squeezing the arms himself. When he is fussy I start making some simple music and he loves it. pros: 1) Great introduction to musical notes, especially if you are musically inclined and can name the notes 2) Excellent colors 3) No Batteries 4) smells good. I has a strong vanilla smell although I do worry how it has that smell (I assume some not so friendly chemicals but I do not know for sure) 5) Large! Not some tiny toy that a kid can just throw around Cons: 1) A little difficult to squeeze the arms for a very young child. 12 months and over is probably the average age that a baby will be able to create notes themselves. That's really all...great toy!

We love this thing. My 3month old will do tummy time and just chat this guy up! Each “arm” is a different tone and it comes with a song book. Been fun to practice and get some tones down. (I think it comes with 2-4 songs. Twinkle twinkle. Mary had a lamb) it’s pretty large and not a great diaper bag toy. I havent tried to wash it but would worry about the arms retaining too much water and not squeaking anymore. I think it’s priced too high but if you can get it on sale it’s an awesome toy and would be a great gift.

They have this toy in one of the infant rooms at the childcare center where I worked. I really liked it and enjoyed playing with it and making the babies laugh. Also, it smelled really good -- it has a nice vanilla sugar cookie scent that apparently never goes away. I liked it so much, I decided to order one for my own 6-month-old son, and was pleasantly surprised by the price (under $35!). For the brand it is, and how big it is, and just the overall quality of it, I would have expected to pay close to $50. Well, when it arrived, I noticed that with the musical arms (they work/sound like bicycle horns), the lowest note was out of tune with the rest -- it was flat. My husband said it was not a big deal and thought it was silly of me to care about that. But I told him that the one at work is perfectly in tune, this one is just defective. So I exchanged it (customer service for that was great, by the way. UPS came a day or two later to pick it up and the new one arrived I think on the same day). The new one is still sounding slightly flat though. It's not as significantly off as the other one so it's not worth exchanging again but this is why I'm rating it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, this is a great toy and I would highly recommend it!!! My son loves it! His favorite part so far, is the crinkly sounding handle on the top. He also likes to just sit and inspect the colors & textures on it, and lean in & hug it.

My friend recommended me to get this gift for my 6m baby for Christmas. I looked at it but I didn’t really understand the point. Well I ordered it thinking it was a bit pricey and received it quickly. When I opened it I understood the hype behind this toy! It’s musical and not with batteries! It also is bright with textures on it! When we gave it to our daughter she immediately lost her noodles and began grabbing it, kissing it, hollering at it, and smiling! We have now named him, “Nigel” & Nigel goes everywhere with her! Her dad and I learned how to play songs on him and she loves that too! This is more than your usual stuffed animal or musical toy! Get your babies/toddlers a Nigel it’s a wonderful toy and it’s actually worth the money!

Very cute and fun, but didn't smell like lavender like they did years ago!

Get this item on Amazon. Use the free super saving shipping feature. I saw this item in the store and we saved a few dollars. It sits up just like in the photos. The tentacles do squeak. There were some negative reviews saying that they are too hard to squeeze. The tentacles have some structure to them so the octopus can stand. It makes sense they don't collapse in on themselves! So I am not sweating that my daughter will have to learn to squeeze a little. Plus she will be about 8 months old when she receives this. It's a little high expectations to think that my little one is going to easily be able to go from one tentacle to the next creating this symphony of sound. haha. She will definitely need some guidance and...shock...have to learn how to use it with mommy and daddy. And most important, its brightly colored, soft, no choking hazards and I can already picture her shoving the handle in her mouth...like the human puppy that she is.

Un jouet magnifique

Muy buen muñeco para niños y super didáctico y divertido además del aroma frutal Viene verde pero me llego en amarillo tomar en cuenta al comprar que no hay opción de color puede llegar uno distinto al verde

I bought this for my 5 month old son and he LOVES it. It is quite big and it is tough to squeeze the notes out so all he can really do at the momment is touch it and watch while me or his dad do it for him. The colours are great and the rubber gives it a chocolate like smell. Even though he can not quite "work" it himself, it still NEVER fails to make his smile and laugh. Looks beautiful in his nursery too. Delivered quickly and looks how it does on here. Well worth the money.

not a fan neither is my son , he loves the other lamaze octo , but this one he doesnt care for also very hard to squeeze the tunes ! not worth the price

El sonajero es grande y pesado, por lo que recomiendo su uso solo a partir de los seis meses como mínimo. Es a la vez un bonito peluche, un juguete musical y un objeto estimulante tanto del tacto como del olfato. Sus patas emiten distintas tonalidades y se incluye instrucciones para hacer sonar melodías sencillas. También desprende un agradable olor a vainilla, incluso pasados meses desde su compra. Los tejidos y acabados son excelentes. Es de los pocos juguetes que tienen garantizada una larga presencia en la lista de favoritos de nuestro hijo. Recomiendo su compra. ¡Espero que este comentario te haya resultado útil!
