Product Overview
The Pro Goleem Elephant Security Blanket is a soft baby comforter which has an animal design (a small plush elephant) attached to a light weight security blanket. This product is intended to serve as a comfortable companion for babies during their naps, in the stroller, traveling and under adult supervision when you want to allow your child to cuddle.
The security blanket is made of a soft textured fabric that is intended to be gentle on a baby's skin. The compactness of this item allows parents to carry the security blanket much easier than they would have been able to carry a standard security blanket; however, it still provides all the benefits of having a familiar plush toy.
Customers Say
Parents have told me many times that they like how this blanket is so soft, and their young ones take an instant liking to them and use these blankets as an instant comfort. A lot of people who have purchased this product said that the large ears on top are easy for little hands to hold onto while the blanket underneath has been great for giving their young child a comforting texture to hug.
A lot of gift givers complimented this product's design and said that it was great for shower presents, new borns, and even basket presents in a nursery. They liked the neutral grey color of the product which made it easily adaptable into most all types of nurseries.
Some common complaints about this product were that the blanket was much smaller than what some customers had thought it would be; the material used on the blanket thins out or wears down from excessive amounts of washings; and the plush material on the heads takes a long time to dry compared to the rest of the blanket. Additionally, I've had a few mothers tell me that they purchase two (one extra) because there are children that get extremely attached to a certain lovey.
