Pros: massaging action, bright colors
Cons: infants can't really use it by themselves

Pros: Soothing Massaging Action, Bright Fun Colors, Durable

My older girls were pretty good teethers. Granted they drooled a lot and fussed a bit, but often enough I didn't even notice they were teething until a little pearly white showed up. My youngest is a totally different story. She gets downright ...

Cons: Irreplaceable batteries, heavy, less useful after front teeth come in

Pros: Great idea, the vibrating could really soothe a baby's sore gums
Cons: can't change the batteries, need more pressure then you should to make it "go", babies don't bite on something and keep the pressure, they "chew".

I totally agree with rushin4's review. This teether is a great "idea", but, not totally thought out.

Cons: hard for the younger infants to manage

Cons: to bulky, heavy and doesn't really help teething
