after testing no less than 7 models hangs sucks, I am delighted to find this model is the only one that REALLY stands and without damaging clothes, plus the child finds the pacifier alone at night since the blanket is large enough to be palpable in the dark. once you get the hang to put or remove the pacifier (for washing hangs), I think we can do better. by cons I do not recommend washing or drying machine, otherwise the wood will crack tip (and leaves) which makes it a little less aesthetic (but still effective)
