Quick Answer

For a dual-purpose teether and rattle with a soft, dressy design, choose the Sweet n Sassy Fox Teether Rattle. If you prefer a quieter, sparkly rattle for gentle sensory play, the Itsy Glitzy Fawn Rattle is a better fit.

Key Differences at a Glance

Both toys are 6-inch forest-themed rattles from Mary Meyer, but they serve slightly different purposes. The Sweet n Sassy Fox includes a silicone teether on the outside, making it a practical choice for babies who are actively teething. The Itsy Glitzy Fawn focuses on visual and auditory stimulation with its gold metallic accents and quiet rattle sound, without a teether.

Material and Safety Considerations

The Fox rattle uses super velour fabric and features a silicone teether, which is safe for chewing and easy to clean. The Fawn rattle is made from soft materials with fine embroidery and a touch of gold metallic thread. Both are designed for infant use, but the Fawn lacks a teether, so it is not intended for chewing. Always follow age recommendations and supervise play.

How to Choose Between These Forest Rattles

  • Need a teether?: If your baby is teething and needs something safe to chew, the Sweet n Sassy Fox Teether Rattle is the clear choice because it has a silicone teether attached.
  • Prefer sparkle and quiet play?: The Itsy Glitzy Fawn Rattle offers subtle gold accents and a soft rattle sound, perfect for babies who are sensitive to loud noises or who enjoy visual stimulation.
  • Consider gifting: Both are 6-inch rattles suitable for newborns and up. The Fox has a dressy, European-inspired look with a neck tie, while the Fawn has a modern, blingy aesthetic. Choose based on the recipient's style. Check the care instructions for cleaning the silicone teether separately.
