I bought this little pillow for my 21 month-old niece, who is fascinated by buckles. She carried around camping equipment for a short time, asking the grown-ups to help her buckle and unbuckle the straps. When this little pillow arrived, she got right to work matching colors and buckling shapes. It kept this little girl busy for almost a half-hour! That is a lot of time for a toddler! The pillow is light-weight, and a good size for little hands to carry. The buckles are not stiff, and easy to squeeze. The pillow is great for color-matching, shape matching, and fine motor skills development. What I like most about it is the ability to buckle colors together, or with other colors across the pillow. It's very open-ended. I've observed my niece making choices about buckling straps on one side of the pillow versus the other, figuring out how to buckle across and over other straps, and self-correcting when they don't fit. And guess what! This dude is washable!!! Easy to carry and pack for car trips, no tiny pieces to think about, and- best of all- this is a QUIET toy. I would buy this again, for sure. I only wish it was available when my kids were little! It's a great gift for the busy, curious, and determined little person in your life.

This is an awesome soft toy for the car! I attach it to the headrest on a short plastic link chain so it is always within his reach. My 12 month old grandson will play with the zipper and buckles constantly! He gets super excited and proud when he gets one buckled. Great for eye/hand coordination, learning colors and is simply a lot of fun for him. It is well made and definitely worth the price!

A must have for car rides and my diaper bag. My toddler is just learning how to buckle things and this toy has without a doubt perfected his skill. He plays with this all the time and loves it. It's also great as a busy toy for car rides or in the stroller. I always have it with us. Would definitely recommend as it develops fine motor skills and keeps toddlers busy. Its also super cute, very soft, and travels well because its just the right size.

EDIT: I left my original review and photos. The seller reached out and offered a refund or replacement. I appreciate prompt customer service and therefore am changing my review since my kiddo does enjoy the product. I would recommend it and if you have issues, reach out to their team! I am having a hard time figuring out how to rate this product, my toddler likes it but one of the clips wasn't sewn well and the buckle will definitely fall off. It doesn’t feel worth the time to try to return it and get a replacement. But it was expensive ($20) for the type of toy it is, so I was expecting it to be well made. I'm still trying to decide what I should do, if it wasn't for the buckle issue I'd give it 5 stars in all reality. For the price they need to do a better job of inspecting and quality control of the finished product prior to sending it out to the customers. Otherwise it is cute. But if the clips are not well attached it doesn't feel very safe.

My two year old loves this.... She will play with it and even cuddles with it sometimes.... The item is so soft and colorful..... Kids can learn and be having fun, at the same time....

Lots of buckle fun for little ones

My 15 month old LOVES this toy. He plays with it nonstop, hanging it to me for praise when he completes all the buckling, taking it back with a smile when I undo all the buckles. The pillow portion is so soft with fun bright colors on each side. The strap material feels similar to that in car seats but with a little more texture for little ones grip. The plastic buckle pieces are a smooth plastic, slightly rounded edges. There are three different types of buckles. I don’t know their names but let’s call them a lobster claw, a square slotted, and a round pop. The lobster one was the first he mastered. The round and square took him longer to realize the right side up concept but he got it. Using the matching color straps helps in matching the right buckle type, but my son soon learned how to match by the buckle only, putting together different colored buckles. My only complaint is that the green strap frayed and came loose from the pillow. It is still attached by one thick thread but caught the thread up in the zipper so it still fits securely on the toy and is useable. I’m not sure if this was a manufacturing flaw or something my son was able to do over the last three months playing with it. The pillow has a small zipper pouch on one end and I have no idea what it’s for and don’t care. One worry I had was that my son would learn how to unbuckle his high chair or stroller. While he understands the concept, this toy doesn’t require the same strength necessary to undo those safety belts so it’s no concern. This is a toy I am 100% happy with and will likely buy as 1st birthday gifts for friends’ kids!

This toy is awesome. Simple and yet so smart. One-year-old loves it. I love it as a quiet, contained travel toy (planes, cars, or even just stashed in the diaper bag for on the go). In addition to the buckles, I appreciate all the small details that further captivate baby’s interest, like the zipped pocket, flaps, diff shapes, textures, etc. I left one at a friend’s house (nearby) but decided to just buy a second bc I won’t mind having 2!

Un des jeux favoris de ma fille de 2 ans. On l'emmène en voyage et elle est occupée pendant plusieurs minutes.

easy to use and keeps my 2 year old grandson absorbed in buckling and unbuckling. Well worth the money. Great for eye/hand coordination

This toy is a game changer. My toddler loves this!

This is an ok toy (creative idea!) except how poorly made it is. My son who is 18 months old litterally played with it a couple of times (its a car ride only toy) and one of the buckles came unstitched. I completely thought he was busy playing with the toy (why is he so quiet) until i looked back and saw he had shovelled the white fluff stuffing into his mouth and thrown it all over the car. I emailed Buckletoy directly and have recieved no response. For the price of this fairly simple toy I expected more and will not be purchasing or recommending this product especially given the poor customer service. Update: Buckle toy did contact me to get more information. Apparently they didnt recieve my initial email. I sent them a photo of the toy and they promptly advised they would be sending a replacement toy immediately. I am upping the rating a star given their response and willingness to remedy this situation. I will update once I have a new toy to test out.

This is hands down one of the best toys I have ever bought my daughter. She is 16 months old and this surprisingly keeps her attention for a good period of time. Perfect for an on the go toy when you grocery shopping etc and need something to occupy them. My only complaint and it's not enough to not give it 5 stars is that I wish there was a larger variety of buckle types.
