14 Amazing Baby Toys of 2009

Tested by infants and parents alike!

 

For our ninth consecutive year, we're making shopping for baby toys easy for parents like you. Here are the most fun toys for newborns and infants (from birth to 12 months), as tested and approved by dozens of families across the country and BabyZone's well-versed team of toy experts. Get shopping!

Joobles

Fair Indigo

Our mom testers said: "I really love this product, particularly after reading the backstory … It is just so lovable."

Why we love it: Our test families raved about this line of soft plush friends made from organic yarn and dyes that are Oeko-Tex-certified (meaning they've been independently tested for chemicals, allergies, and other nasties by an international textile association). Joobles products are hand-knit in Peruvian cooperatives, and part of the proceeds help educate and support the workers' children.

While Joobles are a little pricier than your average plush friend, you can feel good knowing you're supporting a fair trade company and getting a uniquely cuddly critter.

Suggested retail price: $25.00
