Buckle Toys, Bucky Turtle Plush Learning Toy, Toddler Learning Activity

This is my 16-month-old daughter’s favorite toy. We’ve had it about a month now and she plays with it every single day. She can open all but the two most difficult clips (they require the most pressure and her tiny hands can’t do it yet) and is trying hard to learn to put them back together. When she isn’t busy using it to hone her developing motor skills, she’s rubbing its head and feet on her face because she loves soft things and it is really nice and soft. It has colorful numbers on its belly, so we can use it to practice colors and numbers, as well. It is also adorable and would make a good gift for any young child. I really have no ‘cons’ to list for this toy. If you have a little one, buy this!

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!

My baby is 1.5 years old and loves this. Initially bought it to keep her busy on a flight. She loves putting the buckles together. She feels very proud of her self. At first she couldn't do it, however a couple weeks later she is a pro! Also good quality. Definitely recommend.

My 20 month old is obsessed with buckles. She will find any buckle she can and play with it for hours. She also does not like being in the car. On a recent road trip I decided we needed a new toy to entertain her and this toy is perfect! It keeps her busy forever and is great for playing with in her carseat. So many buckles to do up. She hasn't figured out how to unbuckle yet, but it's not a bother at all to unbuckle these so she can have fun all over again. The toy is a great size for her to hold and play with, but still fits well in a diaper bag. This is a toy that I will definitely be buying more of to give as baby gifts.

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.

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

This is a cute learning turtle for the littles to zip and buckle. The buckles are color coded so they learn to match the two ends. Most are easy to snap together and open; however, at least one buckle may be more difficult for children. It is a small toy but not too small to learn the techniques of using buckles and the zipper. Your child will learn quickly!

My daughter LOVES this turtle! She recently came obsessed with a buckle toy at daycare & I couldn’t find it anywhere. Got this for her & she will sit for at least 45 min buckling it & having me unbuckle.

Purchased for a Christmas gift for our grandson who loves buckles. Hasn’t been road tested yet but looks great and seems well made. It’s exactly as pictured and described.

Highly recommend!!! This turtle was played with the moment I purchased and far beyond. Its got soo much use (plus it washes great!!) and still looks pretty amazing! Awesome quality. Great for toddlers, busy fingers. I only wish the zipper compartment was a little bigger so kids could put bigger items inside, but I will still give 5 star since overall toddlers loved this (and for a long time!!)

This was one of the best purchases we have made! We went on a 3 week road trip this summer and my 2 year old son played with this for hours. This kept him busy and entertained in the car and his older sisters also enjoyed playing with it. This is a soft and engaging quality toy, and because of motion sickness we discovered it washes well! My son loves doing up the buckles and the zippers. He did have trouble opening some buckles so he would pass it back to us to open the clips and then close them all again himself. He did eventually learn how to open all of them. All the colours clip into each other as well, making it fun to create different combinations and the straps are long enough to clip in front or behind the turtle. The turtle itself is soft and cuddly even with the buckles and zippers. There is a zipper on the back with a pocket with enough space to store little trinkets. There are also two bigger buckles on the back that my son found easier to open as they were the same type found on his booster chair.

My 2 year old loves to play with buckles so knew she would love this toy. She spent half an hour buckling and unbuckling this turtle and it was hilarious to watch her face contort as she was concentrating. On a developmental side, this is a great tool for hand-eye coordination, dexterity and focus. The turtle is good quality, the buckles are sturdy and the colors are vibrant. The zipper on the back is a bit hard to zip up because there is fabric underneath that gets stuck, so I just help out until my daughter can figure it out herself.

A favourite toy for a toddler obsessed with buckles. The different variety of buckles keeps it interesting and she will sit and buckle and unbuckle them over and over again. The zipper down the back taught her how to unzip things and she frequently unzips her own diaper bag to get snacks now. Be prepared for a child who is much more capable at accessing things if you get this! Great for learning skills for early independence.
