We can't live without Lion!
When my son was almost 5 months old he started falling asleep on his own thanks to this lion. The Tylux material is the perfect texture - I've tried to substitute other stuffed animals, but nothing is "right" like Tylux (so I was able to sub another Ty animal at a friend's house once). He's used the nose for teething even - and it's still completely in one piece. The fabric also stays relatively clean. It's also the perfect size for his little arms and toting around. My son is now 13 months old, and the lion still looks like new even though it's been put through a lot. I definitely recommend it.

I bought this as a gift for one of my nieces but almost kept it myself. It's so cuddly and cute! Even better in 'real' than in the photo

A Roaring Companion
My little girl has a giant lion pillow that sleeps in her bed. She always wanted to take it everywhere. She already had the beanie tiger like this lion and she loved him. So, I got her the lion in hopes that she wouldn't try to drag the giant lion around anymore. It worked. He has made several trips to the zoo with us. This lion isn't the size of a tiny beanie baby. It is more the size of a small stuffed animal or a small cabbage patch baby.
