    My son received the Gerber Orbiteether as a gift but I wasn’t sure what it is made of. I emailed Gerber and they said, “The Gerber OrbiTeether is made of polypropylene with an overlay of PVE (PolyVinyl Ethylene).” Is PVE safe for babies? I can’t find any information on it.

    thanks

    Great teether guide. I was wondering if you have any info for the Sassy flip phone and the click n’ chew keys. These are my 9mth old sons favorites and now I feel I may need to take them away from him.

    I have contacted Parent toys (Battat company) about baby rattles that my children put in ther mouthes like teethers. In December I was told they went completely phthalate free a few years ago. This spring I called again to find out exactly what these toys were made of. The person I talked with was very helpful and took the time to find out more information. She called me back a few days later saying that the company does not use PVC or BPA in any of their products. I want to believe this and feel safe buying more of their products, but it sounds to good to be true. Do you know anything about the company and their baby toys?

    Does anyone know anything about the Fisher Price Miracles and Milestones Penguin Water Teether? I’m wary of this product because it’s made in China, despite the fact that another website said it was BPA free. It may be BPA free but I’m wondering if it’s pthalate and lead free as well? Believe it or not I can’t find any of the safe teethers listed on this website at my local Target, Walmart or Babies R Us- frustrating!

    Thanks for all the great teethers (among many other things!) available on this site. I am looking at getting the Baby Buddy Baby’s 1st Toothbrush made of silicone for my son. Kids seem to like it and it is PVC/BPA free. Thought you might want to look into carrying it on your site… if you do, I’d buy it from you! :)

    Has anyone heard anything about any of these First Years products: First Keys, Soft Teething Beads, Stacking Cups? I have been unable to find any information on them. My daughter absolutely loves to chew on these toys, and I’m afraid these products are made with harmful substances like BPA or phthalate.

    Do you know if the Sassy Jelly Fish teether is the same as the Fish rattle and teether toy gift set at Target? I am also having a hard time finding these teethers at well-known stores such as Babies-R-Us, Target, or Baby Depot.
