I'm concerned about the eyes, whether they are buttons or embroidered? Can an active 11 month old rip the eyes out? It will be for his birthday.

We have a staff member who gave this to her child at 1 month old and he is now four and eyes are intact. Your child would need to be super strong to remove the eyes. Great gift.

The eyes are buttons. I can say that the eyes have held up so far with an almost two year old playing/sleeping with it daily.

I'm not sure if the eyes are glued in or sewn in, so if your little boy is that active, you might want to wait on giving this to him. My son is 17 years old and has wanted one of these for years, as long as it was made in the USA, so I finally broke down and got him one. If you would like for me to double check on the eyes (glued or sewn) let me know.

I bought this for my daughter when she was 7 months old. These are just the right size for a baby but the eyes are small and hard and could cause a choking hazard. This is one of those toys that you would have to supervise while your child plays with it to be sure she/he doesn't start chewing on the eyes. I let my baby play with it but I keep it out of her reach and only let her play with it while I watch her. The only plush animals I let her play with unsupervised have embroidered eyes and noses. I personally haven't been able to find many baby toys with embroidered eyes other than Aspen baby toys. I bought a plush monkey from Aspen baby that came with a plush banana that my daughter loved when she was younger. Both the monkey and banana have a small bell inside that rattles when you shake them. The monkey I received had a loose stitch and the bell came out when my daughter played with it so please be careful of that. I contacted the company and they offered to send another one, but I just sewed it back together myself and we haven't had anymore problems.

I bet that's a typo and it's for children ages 4+. I have my minion right next to me andI tugged on his hair, glasses, hands and feet, and none of the parts came off...I don't see a choking hazard here. He is the BEST!

We gave the dog house to our granddaughter for her second birthday. I can't remember how the eyes were secured on the dogs, but they did not seem to be dangerous. She and her older brother and two cousins also played with the dogs and none of the eyes were removed.

I would say the toy is too young, my daughter (who I got it for) is now 2, and she will push the button and play, but not really for very long. But if it's a new toy to them, they might. Just my opinion.

The eyes are not simply buttons sewn on. They are deeply into the head so I would imagine they have a stem on the inside which to me seems like they are heavy duty. I think it would take lots and lots of maneuvering to loosen them. If they ever did begin to come loose, I think you would notice it before a child had a chance to get ahold of them.

I'm almost positive she has button eyes. I remember commenting on the buttons. I gave it as a gift and the little girl loves it!

I would be worried they could slip their arms out too easily at the size most 3-6 month babies are. I would not recommend them until they were closer to 2 or older.

Hello - "Bixby" does have button eyes. However, my 7 year old has slept, carried, traveled and played with him since he was 3 years old. I have washed and dried him many many times with the eyes never coming loose. I have had Bixby since 2004 it was on a shelf in my room in 2009 my son took a liking to him and he has been his "beary" ever since. I ordered a back up for the terrible day when he falls apart but so far so good!

I have not had problems with the eyes of the bear. I agree to the toy.Regards.Pablo.

I'll have to check. The dolls are upstairs and I don't manage steps too well these days. I know their eyes do close when you tip them down.My granddaughters are only 11 months old and these dolls will be their first of many dolls. They are such sweet dolls.I took their outfits off and are having them monogrammed with the the twins names. I researched pretty well and am happy with my choice.

In my opinion yes. Younger than that no, because one of ours had the rubber-band that goes around the finger come off somehow and I would be afraid of a younger child putting that in their mouth. I do have a 13 month old and she looked at it for a bit while I held her, but it didn't really interest her.

The eyes are beaded but they put on very securely. The bear is the 2nd one that I have bought as a gift for my niece! The first one, which I bought for her 1st birthday, is starting to get a little worn out due to her constantly carrying him around, playing with him and having him with her around the clock and being washed on a weekly basis, but after a year he is still intact! I got this new one for her because, as I said, the first one is getting a bit worn and she loves him! Gund Philbin Teddy Bear is an awesome teddy bear!

They might be a bit large on a three month old. They are a bit flexible though, so that would make them comfortable at least. My girl is 2 1/2, the lenses seems a little narrow and the arms seem a little wide. I don't know if that makes sense. She is small to average for her age.

I don't think anything about this book could present a choking hazard. The beak of the owl sticks out but is sewed on well and I can't imagine any infant or even toddler could pull it off. I have never been worried about my (now) 10 month old with this book.

This is hard for me to judge since my granddaughter is just a newborn. It should be fine for him; however, if he is super active my concern would be his climbing out of it.

I think so. I just looked at one of the bands we have left and it looks to be small enough to accommodate a small wrist. However, for a 2 yr old, I think they might want to pull it off to play with it like a toy. Personally, I would go with wipes or a spray to be safe.
