I was wondering if I would like this stuffed elephant, in person, as much as I like it in the pictures. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised! What a wonderful stuffed animal! Stuffed just right so that you can pose it and place it in different position poses. Very soft so it would be safe and pliable for babies. ( no hard surfaces) But I would be careful using with an infant. It might get stifled in the soft stuffing, affecting breathing. Care and monitoring would be necessary as with any stuffed toy around a very small child’s who moves especially in a crib. BUT, This stuffed elephant is magical beautiful! ..More
