Infantino Textured Multi Ball Set

About $15-17Checked Oct 17, 20263 sources

Our take

A set of soft, BPA-free balls in different colors, shapes and textures to squeeze, chew and roll. Great when babies start to sit and crawl. The packaging says 6 months and up.

BPA-free plastic6 months+Varied textures

Consider instead: Green Toys starter set for dishwasher-safe recycled plastic.

Before you buy

Do you need it?Nice to have Babies need very few toys. High-contrast cards, a rattle and a couple of stacking or cause-and-effect toys cover the first year, and many arrive as gifts.
Cost per monthAbout $1.33 a month over a typical 12 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Cheaper optionFat Brain Toys Dimpl: About $10, scored 82 (Good).
Secondhand?Secondhand with checks. Fine used if intact; check CPSC recalls and skip anything cracked, peeling or with loose parts.
TipRotate a few toys instead of buying many.
