Infants and toddlers are uniquely vulnerable to chemical exposure. Their bodies are still developing, their detoxification systems are immature, and they spend more time on floors and put objects in their mouths. Pound-for-pound, children receive higher doses of environmental chemicals than adults from the same products.
Why We Rated It This Way
Sophie la Girafe uses genuine natural rubber and food-grade paint. The main concern is the squeaker hole — if water enters during washing, mold can grow inside. Keep dry and replace if any mold odor is detected.
