Skip Hop Bandana Buddies Chime & Teethe Toy - Elephant
$19.95
The Skip Hop Bandana Buddies Elephant Chime and Teethe Toy is a small, soothing pram companion built around the two things a baby in the early months needs most within arm's reach: something that makes a gentle sound when moved, and something safe to put in their mouth. The chime produces a soft sound when the toy is handled - different from a rattle's sharp shake, more of a rolling tone that settles rather than startles. The textured hanging teether gives a baby something to grip, mouth, and explore through the teething months. Clips to a pram with the included toy ring. Multiple fabrics and textures across the body. Suitable from birth. The Elephant Bandana Buddies character is part of a family of companions designed for the newborn and early infant stages.
Why a chime sounds different from a rattle - and why it matters
Baby toys that make sound tend toward rattles: sharp, percussive sounds that require deliberate shaking to produce. The Chime and Teethe Toy produces a softer, rolling chime sound when moved - a tone that responds to even the small, uncoordinated bat of a young baby's hand without needing force. For newborns still building the connection between arm movement and sensory response, a toy that responds to a gentle movement rather than a forceful shake means earlier and more consistent cause-and-effect learning. The soothing quality of the chime also means it can be settled near a baby without stimulating them when what's needed is calm rather than engagement.

The textured teether: designed for the mouth first
The teether on the Chime and Teethe Toy hangs from the main body, making it easy for a baby to grasp and bring to their mouth without needing to hold the full toy. The textured surface provides the oral sensory input that teething babies actively seek - different from a smooth teether, the varied surface gives something to explore with the gums and tongue. At 5 x 5 x 15.24 cm, the overall toy is compact and light enough for young babies to handle without the weight resistance that heavier toys create at this age. The chime responds to the movement of teething and mouthing without requiring any separate action from the baby.
Clips to the pram with the included toy ring
The Chime and Teethe Toy includes a toy ring for attachment to a pram - no separate clip or accessory needed. The ring clips to the pram frame or handlebar and keeps the toy within reach during pram walks without needing to be held. When a baby drops it (and they will), it stays attached rather than ending up on the ground. For pram-based nap time when some gentle sensory stimulation helps settle, the chime that responds to the pram's movement provides that without requiring adult attention.

Why Parents Choose the Bandana Buddies Chime and Teethe Toy
The Bandana Buddies Elephant Chime and Teethe Toy earns the choice as the pram companion that does two things well rather than six things adequately. The soothing chime responds to gentle movement - the baby's hand, the pram over a bumpy footpath - with a tone that settles rather than stimulates. The textured hanging teether is always within reach for the mouthing and exploration that dominates the early months. The included toy ring clips it to the pram without accessories. Compact and light at 5 x 5 x 15.24 cm. The Elephant Bandana Buddies character pairs with the Elephant Activity Toy for parents building a consistent collection.
The Bandana Buddies Chime and Teethe Toy is suitable from birth (0+ months). The soothing chime and textured teether are appropriate for newborns and early infants through the teething and sensory exploration stages.
The Chime and Teethe Toy produces a soft, soothing chime sound when the toy is moved or handled - different from a rattle's sharp sound, the chime tone is gentler and responds to small movements as well as deliberate handling. It can be activated by a young baby's bat or by the movement of the pram.
The Bandana Buddies Chime and Teethe Toy includes a toy ring that clips to a pram frame, handlebar, or bar. No separate accessories are needed. The toy stays attached to the pram during use and can be removed easily when needed.
Spot clean with mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or submerge. Allow to dry fully before returning to baby.
The Bandana Buddies Activity Toy is larger (12.7 x 7.6 x 25.4 cm vs 5 x 5 x 15.24 cm) and includes more sensory features: rattle, crinkle, baby mirror, squeaker, teether, and a removable wrist-worn bandana teether. It also clips to pram, car seat, and carrier. The Chime and Teethe Toy is simpler and lighter, focusing on the soothing chime sound and textured teether, with a toy ring for pram attachment. Both are suitable from birth.
