Have our daughter given this sweet little monkey 4th birthday. She loves her cuddles. She takes care of the day to her "baby". She takes him to eat, she likes to pull him to doll clothes, she takes him to sleep (as we make it easy from) ... However, I would have given her this toy now with hindsight to 5th birthday. The problem is the skin of Cuddles. It is covered with a soft rubber. Our child has bitten in the nose of Cuddles, so now a piece of skin is torn off ... The howl was great ... my baby is no longer so beautiful ... Age recommendation clearer case until 5 !!!! The battery for Cuddles holds about 1 week ... but one of the more expensive ... Despite everything, a great toy ... Highly recommended if you expect sibling or feel free to take care of something "Small".
