Our Review
These colourful teething keys are filled with gel that can be cooled in the fridge for added relief. The textured surfaces massage gums while the cool sensation numbs discomfort. If some of the more static teething toys don’t cut it for holding your little one’s entertainment, they’ll love jangling these keys around while the different surfaces soothe their gums.
What we like
- Cooling effect
- Easy for babies to hold
- Budget-friendly
Useful product information
- Keys are too big for small babies
- BPA Free

Our Review
This teething toy features a maze of soft, continuous loops that make it easy for babies to grasp and chew. It brands itself ‘baby teething made for little hands’, and the light-weight tubes are much easier to handle than some of the bulkier teething toys available.

- 2-in-1 rattle
- Easy to hold
- Visually stimulating
