"This is bigger and softer than I expected. We had a star belly dream light before which my kids love but they all stop working within 2 months. This is a much higher quality item and has some tactile features that are nice for smaller kids. I also appreciate that the volume is not overly loud but still keeps my little one's attention. Gender neutral also would make a nice gift. Very cute toy."
"My baby loved this toy. She loves that it plays music. It's easy for her to hold and touch the button to play the music. She loves to grab it by the ears to bite it. She gets mad when someone takes it away from her. She usually tries to have it next to her for when she is about to go to sleep."
"This is a cute little toy that entertains baby's to no end. The little elephant is the perfect size for youngsters to hold and play with. The belly lights up with a soft glow that catches little one's attention. The ears create a crinkle sound that kids like to fidget with. This toy also has tag pieces hanging off so the child can play with it. The music has a pleasant sound that can be set for a quick tune or for a continuous length of time. I recommend to anyone that wants to entertain a child."
"This is such a cute product. The plush has volume control and also has a setting where it can be on constant play which makes it a great toy for nap time. I would say that the play button needs to be in a better position on the plush because my little one's hands and skills aren't quite there to achieve the touch and press so the music can play functionality. I think if the sensor to turn on the music for the plush was on the stop rather than the foot it would be better for the child. I think the colors of the tummy lights are perfect. It gives a nice glowing effect. Overall my child likes the toy when I do put the music on for him but if I don't press it for him it never comes on unless I switch the mode for continuous play. I did receive this product as a tester to give my honest opinion."
"This product would be best for a newborn baby to look at possibly during tummy time or to use as background music during a fussy time. I think the picture shown of this elephant is slightly deceiving because while the belly lights up it doesn't light up all three colors at the same time and during the day time when this is used- It's just a basic glow. Not circular lighting as shown. Either way the reason I am giving this elephant 3/5 stars is because of the musical settings. You either click the foot and get 5 seconds of music. Or you go into the back flip the switch and get 20 minutes straight of music (if I timed it right?). That's a HUGE difference. Once you switch to the longer timed version I couldn't find a way to stop the music either? Finally I can't put a finger on why but I much rather prefer the music on the longer loop as opposed to the tunes that come out of the short 5 second tracks. On the plus side the elephant is very soft and the crinkly ears are super soft and cute."
"Hug a bye baby elephant is a cute stuffy for babies. The ears crinkle and it plays music when you push the foot. It comes with 2 settings for the music that you access on the back of the elephant. One plays very short bursts and the other played for at least 15minutes. The belly lights up when pressed also. This really is a cute toy but not one that you absolutely need to have. My 9month old played with it a couple times but became bored easily. I would say it's best suited for a baby closer to newborn-6months."
"This is a really cute elephant stuffed toy. It's small and easy to take on the go. It has lights and sounds that my daughter loves. The music is short and perfect as lullabies. This is a good toy for snuggling or playing."
"Super cute interactive toy that plays music for longer than most toys. My child loves playing with it for a long time since the music lasts so long. It's colorful bright and engaging. Definitely one of his favorites!"
"Such a cute little elephant. It's small enough to take with us on the road yet large enough to cuddle with. The lights and sounds are a nice touch. My daughter loves the lights and they are easy to turn on. The tunes are short and sweet. The elephant is so easy to spot clean and it doesn't stain. My daughter absolutely loves it."
"We absolutely love this little elephant! My sons has to sleep with everynifht or he fusses! I love how it lights up but not super bright colors just soothing ones and the music is soothing as well and it doesn't let for too long and over does it. It's just right! I also love how the ears are a sensory object!"
