Baby Teething Toys Australia - Safe Teethers and Chew Toys for Babies
Teething is one of the most challenging stages for babies and parents alike, but the right teething toy can make a world of difference. At Peekaboo Baby, our range of baby teething toys in Australia includes silicone teethers, wooden teethers, textured chew toys, and soothing sensory options from trusted brands. Browse alongside our baby activity toys and playtime collection for toys that double as teethers, or explore our bibs range for drool-proofing essentials. Our baby feeding section also has products to support this transition stage.
Babies typically begin teething from around 4-6 months, and that instinct to chew continues well into toddlerhood. The best teething toys are made from body-safe silicone or natural materials, are easy for small hands to grasp, and provide different textures for gum relief. Whether your baby prefers something cold, textured, or soft, we have a teether they will love. All products in our teething range meet Australian safety standards and are free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in baby teething toys
- Safe materials - Choose BPA-free silicone, natural rubber, or food-grade materials. Avoid teethers with fillings, beads, or parts that could break off.
- Easy to grasp - Look for ergonomic shapes with handles or rings that small hands can hold comfortably.
- Varied textures - Multiple textures on the same teether reach different parts of the gum for better relief.
- Chillable design - Teethers that can be refrigerated (not frozen) provide soothing relief for sore gums.
- Easy to clean - Dishwasher-safe or boil-safe teethers are much easier to keep hygienic.
- Age rating - Always check the recommended age. Some teethers are suitable from 3 months, others from 6 months or older.
Pair teething toys with our bibs to manage drool, and explore our full range of baby activity toys for options that entertain and soothe at the same time.
