The rattle that cannot be thrown on the floor.

A suction cup base sticks it to a high chair tray, a table or the side of the bath, and there it stays. If you have spent a mealtime retrieving the same toy from under a chair, you already understand why this exists.

The rattle itself sits on a flexible stem, so the lightest push sets it swinging in every direction before it rights itself. Babies push it again immediately, then again, because watching something respond and recover is genuinely absorbing at this age.

Joe is the magician of the gang, working spells out of his grandfather Walter's old books. Sounds and textures are worked in throughout.

Lilliputiens is a Belgian brand, founded in 1995 and designed by a team largely made up of parents working alongside early-childhood specialists. Tested to EN71 and ASTM standards and screened for AZO dyes, cadmium and phthalates.

IT STICKS DOWN AND STAYS PUT - A suction cup base fixes it to a high chair tray, a table or any smooth surface. Which means it stops being thrown on the floor forty times a meal.

PUSH IT AND IT SWINGS BACK - The slightest touch sets it rocking in every direction and it rights itself again. Babies push it purely to watch it come back, over and over.

MEALTIMES AND NAPPY CHANGES - The two moments you most need a baby to stay still and occupied. A toy that cannot be dropped is worth a great deal at both.

JOE THE DRAGON, ON A SPRING - Joe is the magician of the gang, working spells out of his grandfather Walter's old books. Sounds and textures throughout to hold attention while it moves.

SOFT AND SAFE - Fabric body with no hard edges to knock against. Tested to EN71 and ASTM standards and screened for AZO dyes, cadmium and phthalates.
