Cute and fun for a toddlers busy hands
My daughter likes turtles so this stuffed animal is perfect for her. Learning how to use different buckles keeps her occupied since some are more difficult than others. The turtle is durable, easy to wash, cuddly, and fun to play with. There is even a zippered area on the top to store small items such as stickers. Great value since it’s been a staple in our car for over 6 months and counting.

Perfect for 19mo old!
My daughter is obsessed with buckles. Like it causes tantrums when she can’t buckle her own car seat or stroller.Got her this- entertains her for a good while in the care. Until all the buckles are buckled! Then screaming until the sibling next to her is kind enough to unbuckle them all and hand it back!Haha totally worth the money for buckle loving kids!

I think it's a perfect gift for their learning brains
I bought this for my son and my friends daughter who is 7 weeks older than my son. My son is 11 months old and I plan on giving this to him on his birthday.My friends daughters birthday is this weekend so I'll come back and update you on how she likes it.I got a chance to fiddle around with it though. I wanted to make sure the buckles wouldn't "snap" shut as I don't want to risk getting their little fingers caught in the buckles when they clip. But the buckle clicks shut very softly if that makes any sense. They don't have a lot of resistance so it's a smooth click when they do close. Not a tight click (again if that makes any sense).I think it's a perfect gift for their learning brains. I give it a 5 star rating because the product is WELL put together, no loose strings. The zipper is on there right and it's MEANT for a toddler. I don't feel as if these buckles are ANY where close to the car seat buckles.I posted on Facebook about this item seeing if any of my friends has used this with their kids and immediately someone mentioned "I don't think this is a good idea. It's teaching them how to get out of their car seats or high chairs" - NOT AT ALL THE CASE. If your kid can unbuckle themselves then I would be more concerned about the company making your carseat or high chair rather than this little toy. Car seat buckles are SO strong and difficult to unbuckle even as an adult. I wouldn't worry about if your kid can unbuckle himself/herself after using this toy. This toy teaches them how to unbuckle but they are gentle buckles. Not durable car seat buckles

THE BEST TOY EVER for my 20 Month Old!
My daughter got this for Christmas, and LOVED it!!! She loves buckles and zippers anyway, and I wanted to give her something that she didn't have to reach for (she was trying to do the buckles on her car seat, high chair, and table seat). She actually know all her colors now, because of this, and not just pointing at which one is red, but will say red while buckling the red buckle, etc. Keeps her very busy, only downside is she is not great at opening the buckles yet, so I have to help her once she buckles them all....(There are 6 buckles, three different types of buckles, and a zipper).....really the best investment and return!!!

Well made, with many layers of learning for young toddlers.
This toy has been approved by my two year old twins. I purchased it to keep them quiet and busy in flight, and it did the trick. I love the many layers of learning it offers: dexterity, colors, numbers, shapes, matching different types of buckles. The plush, zipper, and buckles are good quality. It's small to medium in size, which is very good and lightweight for traveling. When we're not in the car or plane, it's also a good quiet toy before naps and bedtime.

Good purchase
Super soft and seems to be well made. I love the concept of this toy. My one compliant is there is little to no slack for the buckles and this makes it hard for my 16 month old to try and maneuver the buckles to get them together. There’s just no extra length for her to be able to twist them around and figure it out. I get it. The straps and buckles wouldn’t fit nicely with extra length but it would definitely be more functional if they had a little give. I do believe she’s a bit young for the toy so hopefully she’ll be better able to play with it as she gets older. Overall I would still recommend it.

Great for long flights, travel, restaurants
Based on past reviews, I bought this toy for my 20 month-old son for our trip from the U.S. to Hong Kong. I busted it out on the plane, and it kept his little hands busy for literally hours! Amazing! We used it when travelling throughout Hong Kong, on the train, in restaurants, etc. and he continued to love it and it kept him busy and quiet. At first he could only do the red and yellow buckle, but by the end of the week he was starting to get the flat and circular buckles. The only thing is he still needed us to unbuckle it for him, since he hadn't figured it out yet. He would hand it to us, we would unbuckle it, and give it back to him over and over. I also love the numbers and he likes pointing to them and we try to "count" together. So well-made, Bucky survived getting stuffed into backpacks, the diaper bag, being thrown across hotel rooms, and accidentally dropped from the stroller, all without seams breaking or showing dirt! He has also never pinched himself yet.Now that we've been home for 1 month, he can do all the buckles, unbuckle some of them, and still feels satisfaction after completing them all. It's still one of his favorite toys, and he loves giving Bucky hugs. Well-made and recommended for any parent wanting to keep their little ones busy for a while. I bought one for my cousin's daughter who is 14 months old, and hope she loves Bucky just as much!
