Gardenbug Foot Finder and Wrist Rattle Set product reviews

The foot finder and rattle set are cute, colourful and noisy - perfect to attract little one's attention! I would put these on DD1 when we went for a walk, so that she would keep her hands in the pram, as she was fascinated by them!

Found the socks to be a slightly odd sizing - but work well on the hands instead. Also good if older children want to entertain the younger children with them.

As with most Lamaze toys, they are very well made and safe for little ones. They are on the pricier side, again - as with most Lamaze toys.

Would not hesitate to buy these again - and make a great baby shower/new baby present.

These are so bright and cheerful toys. They rattle and make rustling sounds which my son loves. I found with both my boys the socks didn't stay on very well and that they were easy to kick off - and when they were on, as they make sounds the boys wanted to kick their legs to play with them. They are quite a small fit, as the wrist bands were too and my eldest grew out of them fast. My younger son who is a bit smaller still fits them and at 6 months he loves waving his hands around and trying to eat them, they amuse him no end! Ours have been through the wash many times and have not faded after 3 years! I do think these are expensive for what they are, we were lucky that they were a gift!

When I first got these, I was rather looking forward to trying them out with my 9 week old son, only to be quite disappointed when I found that they were rather tight on him. Brightly coloured and noisy, these little bugs would be great to use on a baby my son's age or a bit older, but what's the point if they won't fit? He was only 9lb 8oz when he was weighed the other day, so it's not as if he's even a big baby. But if they came in a larger size, they would definitely be ideal, and something I'd probably use a lot with him.
I like the previous reviewer's comments about the wrist strap bugs being used on things like car-seat capsules, prams etc, and will be giving that a go, so that I still at least get some use out of them.
Plenty of good things going for these cute little guys... bright, noisy, durable, and the bugs themselves a good size for babies to grab hold of... but only for little babies!

This set contains a pair of socks, and a set of wrist bands. The socks I-ve found too small for bub-s feet and ankles, but which fit well as mittens on her hands. The wrist bands I found were also too tight but make good capsule handle toys. The socks/mittens are a nice mix of basic Black and white stripes that baby can focus on and a brightly coloured bug that either have a small rattle inside and/or cricklely wings.

Since introducing the sock-mittens, I-ve noticed bubs has a higher awareness of her hands and fingers, and improved hand-eye co-ordination. The wrist bands fitted well around the carry handle of our capsule which gave bub-s something nice and bright to focus on, a source of much chatter, animation and laughter.

These appear to be standing up to the test of infant toys well. Machine washable and colour fast. So whilst I-m not using them as Lamaze designed them, I feel these are a good choice for new born babies.
