Toys and Games Reviews of Manhattan Toy Skwish Classic
Customer Review: Interesting and fun quiet toy
Summary: 4 Stars
We have had the Skwish classic since my 6 year old daughter was a baby. She played with it pretty frequently in the car when she was a baby and it seemed to keep her attention for long periods. Though she didn't put things in her mouth often I would not have been worried if she had put this toy in her mouth, it is safe and well-made. Our 17 month old son now plays with it years later. He was not interested in this as a tiny baby but as he became interested in balls and especially throwing balls, he began throwing it which is quite fun because it is somewhat bouncy and moves awkwardly. This is a good quiet toy for babies and toddlers, and even older kids may like throwing it :)Customer Review: Beware Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I am really, really disappointed and unhappy - with this toy and with Amazon. I ordered this toy about 7 weeks ago and received it 6 weeks ago. My now 6-month old son has played with it - gently, I might add. And it broke this morning ... "snap!" went one of the flexible black bands, without any warning at all. The toy is broken and part of the educational appeal - the "skwishiness" - is gone.
Add to that the fact that Amazon will not in any way refund or exchange the product because it's just beyond the 30-day mark, and I'm one unhappy shopper.
The worst part is that this was our whole family's favorite toy, so we are of course compelled to buy another.
Customer Review: Not what I expected...
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this toy for my 9 month old, thinking it would be a fun addition to her other gifts under our tree on Christmas morning. When I looked at the picture and read the initial descriptions of the item, I was picturing something that both expands and contracts... That is not what this toy is/does. My daughter seems to enjoy it a little, though most of the play she's done with it has involved her trying to use it as a teether. It is a squishy ball (as it's name implies), but I think it will hold very little appeal to her for very long. My only consolation is that I purchased this toy on sale for only $4.99. Had I gotten it for full price, I probably would have returned it.Customer Review: Very engaging toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 10 month old son loves this toy. I like that it does not take batteries and that they get to decide what they are going to do with it. It smooshes down flat and can get pulled into many diff. positions. The srings are very stretchy. It is well made and very colorful. It is very easy for a baby to grab onto and lightweight to pick up. Entertaining for all of us. My 4 year old enjoys to join in the play with brother. Everyone who sees it loves it and wants to know what kind of toy it is. very different from the typical baby toy. My son enjoys something that is not blinking or singing in his face every time he touches it. I would highly recommend this toy!!Customer Review: Choking hazard?
Summary: 3 Stars
My 3 month old baby has been mesmerized by this toy for the past 1-1.5 months -- loves to watch the beads move and clink as I rotate it in front of her. Now that she's able to grab at things, and put them in her mouth, though, I've had to put away this toy. While there's no indication that this toy is about to snap, with repeated wear (and lots of drool) it seems pretty risky. If stuffed animals with plastic eyes are considered to be age inappropriate due to the possibility of the eyes popping off and becoming choking hazards, it seems to me that this entire toy is composed of choking hazards and shouldn't be chewed upon.
