I don’t know about PVC or plastic coating or anything like that, but I CAN tell you that it is worth the price if you’re planning on having more than one kid. We opened up our Winkel in Jan 2004 for our oldest son…our daughter used it throughout 05 and early 06…and our youngest son has had his hands and mouth on it for two months now. It hasn’t cracked, faded, etc despite months…YEARS…of use! I get this toy for everyone having their first child as all three of mine have loved it.

We got this toy as a gift from our friends and our baby loves it. He is 3 months old and finds this toy really easy to grab. The rings are squishy and thin so there are many places to grab hold. He can put his entire hand through it and use his arm to get it to his mouth. It’s also large enough for him to grab it with both hands easily. He’ll also shake it. It’s definitely his favorite toy and it keeps his attention.

It is odd to rate the ‘educational’ value of this toy. It won’t make your kid do calculus. But our baby started playing with this toy when he was about 12 weeks old. He was born 6 weeks premature, but because of his interest in this toy he developed two-handed play (an early developmental milestone) well ahead of time.
I could see that perhaps an older child might not find this engaging enough, but our son still enjoys playing with it and chewing on it now as a 7 month old.
PROS:
The slim flexible bands make this much easier for early grasping than many things sold as rattles, which are too fat for young, small, clumsy hands to grasp.
The rattle sound is not so loud as to be deafening or obnoxious
It can be refrigerated for teething. Again, the slim rings fit into his small mouth so much better than many of the large bulky teethers. He has a teether that he cant yet grasp and manipulate for himself because it is so bulky. Plus, the many loops mean that there are different things to chew on no matter which way he turns it, there isn’t just one “right” way to hold it.
The loops also make it convenient to take with you. We hook one strap of our stroller brace through a loop and he can merrily play with it while we walk without fear that it will fall onto the ground. We receive lots of funny comments about how it looks like he is “driving” his stroller by grasping the ball like a steering wheel.
Fun, engaging and helpful for developing two-handed play. Probably most appropriate as a toy for babies 3-5 months and as a teether for older children.

This toy is pliable and rubbery. The loops easily fit into mouth and satisfy my teething child more than any teether I have purchased. The multiple loops are easy to grab for my 8 month old to manipulate the toy. Soft jiggle noise is not annoying. Can slam it on the highchair tray and still hear myself think. Also great for learning to throw and catch.

My son is currently 4 months old, and this is currently his favorite toy. He loves to watch it, hold it, and chew on it with his gums.
