Remember, it's important the rattle is safe for your baby, check that it is well made and has no small parts that could pose a choking hazard.

Secondly, the rattle should be made of strong, durable materials to ensure it can withstand plenty of use without breaking. Baby rattles often take a lot of abuse, and you want to make sure it won't break and expose sharp edges or small parts.

Thirdly, look for softer rattles for very young babies so if they bump themselves with the rattle they will be cushioned.

Lastly, pick a rattle that's easy for your baby to hold. For young babies, this often means choosing a rattle that's lightweight and has a handle or ring that's easy for tiny hands to grip.
