Manufacturer’s product description
The Amaia baby teether is a well-designed teething aid that has been specially developed for the needs of teething infants. As a useful toy for babies, it not only provides relief from teething pain, but also supports sensory development through a variety of textures. Thanks to its handy design, babies can grasp and hold the teether independently – ideal for everyday use and on the go. Easy cleaning in the dishwasher or by cooling and sterilising ensures maximum hygiene.
However, a greater variety of designs would have been desirable to offer parents and babies even more choice.
Advantages
- Relieves teething pain
- Easy to grasp
- Promotes sensory skills
Disadvantages
- Limited design selection
