8.0 / 10Worth it
The Winkel is one of the most recommended first baby toys: ScienceBasedKids rated it 8/10 after ten weeks of use and said it survived mouthing and throwing, Mommyhood101 listed it among the best sensory toys at 9.5/10, and it holds an Oppenheim Blue Chip award.
It averages 4.8/5 on Amazon from over 40,000 ratings, and its Amazon.sa price is low.
Its weak point is a short useful window, as most babies move on after about 6-8 months.

About the product
Overview
The Manhattan Toy Winkel is a classic infant sensory toy: a maze of soft, interlocking tubes wrapped around a small central cube with a gentle rattle. It needs no batteries, and its whole idea is that a baby with an imprecise grip can always catch hold of a loop.
Key features
- Easy to grasp from any angle: the tangled loops give tiny fingers many grip points and encourage grasping and hand-to-hand transfer.
- Rattle and teether in one: the loops are polyurethane (PU) tubing that, per the manufacturer, contains no BPA or PVC, and the toy can be chilled in the fridge to soothe gums.
- Very light: about 3 oz (roughly 85 g) and about 12.7 x 8.9 x 10.2 cm, easy to keep in a diaper bag or use during tummy time.
- Award winner: including an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio (Blue Chip) award, per the manufacturer and the publication.
Who it suits
Newborns and babies in the grasping and teething stages; the Amazon listing states ages 0-24 months and the manufacturer lists ages 0+. It is a simple, safe-bet baby shower gift.
Limits
- The rattle is deliberately quiet, which some babies who love louder sounds may find less engaging.
- The loops sit close together, so a chewing baby can bump their face on the next loop.
- Its window of use is fairly short: reviews report interest usually fades after about 6-8 months.
- A different variant, the Winkel Colorburst, was recalled in 2017 for brittle tubes; this model (200930) is not that variant, but inspect the toy regularly and stop using it if any tube cracks.
Care and cleaning
Do not submerge it in water, and do not use a sterilizer, steamer, microwave or boiling. Surface-wash with a damp soapy cloth followed by a clean damp cloth, or use baby-safe pacifier wipes.
