The Motor Skills Sensorimotor Teething Ring from BOBY’S made a very positive first impression as soon as we unpacked it. It is delivered in a classic shipping box that protects it reliably during transport. The compact packaging avoids unnecessary empty space and significantly reduces the risk of transport damage.
In terms of sustainability , the picture is mixed. Although the packaging is mainly made of cardboard, it contains a plastic viewing window. This allows a direct view of the product, but would not have been absolutely necessary from an ecological point of view. On a positive note, the contents of the package were complete and in perfect condition .
No separate instructions for use are included . However, this is not a disadvantage in the test, as the teething ring is self-explanatory and does not require complex handling. Overall, the packaging impresses with its functionality and product protection, with slight potential for optimization in terms of sustainability.
