The dissent is worth airing: a medium-trust r/Mommit thread complains that some Hape toys have had 'pieces break and/or chip off, now exposing splinter causing area,' a durability concern that runs against the brand's eco-friendly, quality reputation also praised in r/moderatelygranolamoms. Several reviewers also note the toy is smaller than expected.
Net consensus: a soothing, grippable, well-priced first toy that infants reliably engage with, with isolated but real durability complaints and a smaller-than-pictured size to keep in mind.
