Top 11 Baby Toys: 2008 Amazing Toy Awards
Tested by babies and parents alike!
Tiny babies can't tell you what they like, and it may be months before you know their preferences. So how do you go about wading through the hundreds of new baby toys out there to find the ones your child will love? Rely on our test families!
We looked for toys that stimulate babies' developing skills without being overstimulating, and products that had been tested for safety (whose manufacturers could prove it). The following were faves among babies and their moms. Enjoy!

Earth Brights Baby's Keys
Sassy
Go green with this sweet-smelling, hand crafted wooden rattle.
Our mom testers said:
"My baby just loves these keys, and I love that this is a healthier product."
Why it's a winner:
This addition to Sassy's eco-friendly line combines bright colors, pleasurable textures, and fun noises in a familiar design that Baby will reach for immediately. And you won't feel guilty about letting your little one put these keys in her mouth: Our testers raved about this rattle, made from hardwood, water-based dyes and tints, and quality fabrics. (We love that even Earth Brights' packaging is made of recycled cardboard.)
While the age recommendation is 0+, our moms found this toy more appropriate for older infants who are less likely to bonk themselves with the rattle's wooden rings.
Suggested retail price:
$6.99
