Skip Hop Bandana Buddies Chime & Teethe Toy - Lion
$19.95
A baby in the early months puts everything in their mouth. That's not a problem to manage - it's how they learn. The Skip Hop Bandana Buddies Lion Chime and Teethe Toy is built around that reality: a textured hanging teether that gives a baby something genuinely satisfying to grip and mouth, combined with a soothing chime that responds to the movement of play and exploration. Multiple fabrics across the body for tactile variety. Clips to the pram with the included toy ring. Suitable from birth. At 5 x 5 x 15.24 cm, it's light and compact enough for young babies to handle comfortably, and the Lion Bandana Buddies character is easy to spot on the pram at a distance.
The textured teether: why surface variety matters for oral development
Teethers that are smooth all the way around are working with one texture. The Chime and Teethe teether has surface texture - ridges, bumps, or varied material that gives a baby different sensations to explore with their mouth and gums across the same object. For babies in the active mouthing and gumming stage, this variety keeps the teether interesting across repeated sessions rather than becoming familiar and ignored. The hanging design keeps it accessible from the main toy body - a baby who is batting at the Lion toy is in easy reach of the teether without needing to reposition. The chime responds to that same movement, so oral exploration and auditory feedback happen together.

Chime sound: the gentle audio companion for pram time
The chime produces a soft, rolling tone when moved - gentler than a rattle, responsive to small movements including the natural motion of a pram. For babies who are settled in the pram for a walk, the chime adds gentle auditory interest to the ride without being loud enough to disturb sleep if a baby drifts off mid-walk. For active babies who are batting and reaching, the chime responds to each contact with a sound that reinforces the cause-and-effect loop of early play. Combined with the textured surfaces and hanging teether, the Lion Chime and Teethe Toy provides layered sensory input across hearing, touch, and oral exploration without requiring a larger or heavier toy.
The Lion Chime and Teethe in the Bandana Buddies collection
The Lion character in the Bandana Buddies range pairs with the Lion Activity Toy for parents building a consistent collection across product types. The Activity Toy provides more features for the baby who is actively exploring; the Chime and Teethe provides a simpler, lighter pram companion focused on the chime and teether. Both work from birth. The Lion Bandana Buddies character - the mane detail that's recognisable even on a small toy - is consistent across both products.

Why Parents Choose the Bandana Buddies Chime and Teethe Toy
The Bandana Buddies Lion Chime and Teethe Toy earns the choice as the pram companion that meets a baby where they are in the early months: something to mouth, something that sounds when touched, multiple textures to explore, and a clip that keeps it on the pram rather than on the ground. Compact and light at 5 x 5 x 15.24 cm. Soothing chime rather than sharp rattle. Textured teether with surface variety for active mouthing. The Lion character, with its recognisable mane detail, makes it easy to spot and easy to reach. Simple, well-made, and does exactly what it says.
The Bandana Buddies Chime and Teethe Toy is suitable from birth (0+ months). The textured teether and chime sound are appropriate for young babies through the teething and early sensory exploration stages.
A textured teether provides varied surface sensations for a baby to explore with their mouth and gums - different ridges and surfaces offer more oral sensory input than a uniformly smooth surface. This variety keeps the teether engaging across repeated sessions and provides more comprehensive gum stimulation during teething.
The toy includes a ring that clips directly to the pram. No additional accessories are needed. The ring clips to pram bars, handlebars, or frames and keeps the toy within reach during pram walks.
Spot clean with mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or submerge. Dry fully before returning to baby.
Yes. The Lion Chime and Teethe Toy is part of the Skip Hop Bandana Buddies collection, which also includes the Lion Activity Toy - a larger companion with more sensory features including rattle, crinkle, baby mirror, squeaker, and a wrist-worn bandana teether. The Chime and Teethe is the simpler, lighter option for the pram.
