We got our first set of these as a gift, and bought a second set because they are so much more useful than the oval rings you can get from other manufacturers. Not only are the figures on the molded rings interesting and chewable for my son (now 13 months), but the round textured rings make excellent toy holders on the stroller bar, Baby Bjorn strap, backpack handle, diaper bag strap, etc. etc. etc. We take collections of toys and random binkies, all strung together on these amazingly durable rings, everywhere we go. We even leave the groupings linked together in the toy box, so Duncan can pull things out and manipulate the bunches, which he enjoys enormously.

I highly recommend these rings for babies from 6 months to 2 years +. They are colorful, strong, flexible, and multi-purpose.
