I bought this when my son was 3 months old and it was based on a recommendation from an acquaintance, who was ranting and raving about it. So I thought I'd give it a whirl. No doubt it's very cute, and easy to clean...but my son just took it apart and loved chewing on it, which was a total nightmare. He's very inquisitive and curious. Now he's 17 months, and it's still a nightmare to keep him from tearing it apart, so it's just boxed up most/all the time.
