Buckle Toys - Buster Square

This is a good quality toy. Brightly coloured with a soft cushion, 6 buckles and a zip. It’s not as compact as I had hoped for travelling but you can hook it to the outside of a bag, suitcase or buggy. I gave it to my daughter at 11 months old and she’s been playing with it regularly since, learning how to use the buckles, first with my help and then by herself. It definitely has longevity as I can see her playing with it for some time yet. A good one to keep in the car for long journeys or bring to a restaurant or waiting room as it’s a quiet toy.

This toy was bought as a present for my 16 month old and he loves it, the concentration on his face is brilliant. At the moment the buckles are too fiddly for him to open himself, but he loves putting them back together. It's a great colour matching exercise and the zip on the cushion part is nice and strong too. It may seem a little bit pricey but it is well made and I imagine will stand up to the test of time, therefore I think it's worth the money. It's slightly bulky if you wished to travel with it on an aeroplane but in my opinion well worth taking - you could hook it to your bag with one of the buckles!

My 2 year old son loves buckles on his pram and high chairs and can be entertained for a long time just by buckling them and then asking for them to be unbuckled. He has got so quick at it that he needs my attention every few minutes. So I bought the Buckle Toy! This entertains him for much longer and there are different types of buckles, some of which he can buckle himself. It also gets him to focus and talk about the colours and matching them. It is a great toy! The only reason I have marked it down 1 star is because one of the buckles that he is able to undo has been pressed so often, it doesn't click in any more - he has only had it a month, but he has practised A LOT!

My grandson of 1 yr and 8 months loved this. We were in the car and I thought this would keep him occupied as he loves the buckles on his pushchair and highchair. Well he did love it and played with it a lot. It is satisfying as the buckles are not too stiff and he could do them fairly easily, unlike on his highchair. Perhaps the straps could be a little longer as sometimes he could not get his hands under the straps to hold on to them to then do them up. A great buy! Wonderful idea, as I did not think something like this would exist when I was looking for it.

My 18 month old daughter has a fixation with the clips and buckles on her pushchair, often playing with them when it is parked up in our hallway and she's not even sitting in it! We bought this as a 'distraction' for a long-haul flight. It's ideal for little ones with this interest...especially when they haven't quite worked out or don't have the strength to undo the clips! Nice soft cushion and good little 'toy'. Tip: easily hooked around and clipped around a belt on pushchair/aeroplane seat to stop the inevitable falls to the ground.

My 21 month old daughter has been going through a phase of playing about with any zip/buckle she can get her hands resulting in tears because she doesn't want to get out of her car seat, high chair, shopping trolley because she wants to fiddle about with the buckles! I coincidently came across buckle buster whilst browsing toys on amazon, having never heard of or seen one before In the shops. I instantly thought it was a good idea but was a little put off by the £15.00 price tag! However, after reading the reviews I decided to go ahead and purchase it & overall I'm pleased I did. 'Buster' keeps my daughter busy & quiet in the car & in the shopping trolley. Her dexterity skills have improved greatly & she is gradually beginning to do all the different clips up. She hasn't yet mastered how to undo them & this might take a little time yet as they are quite small & a little stiff. Every 10 mins or so I get 'Buster' thrown at me to be unclipped so she can start again! I have given the product 3 stars as the concept is great & my daughter likes the toy a lot but it is overpriced & the buckles could have been made a bit bigger to help little hands undo them easier.

Now this is a fantastically simple kids toy - we got this for our 18 month old daughter to keep her busy when we were going on holiday and she absolutely loves it. I figured she'd eventually get bored of it but two months on she'll still sit for hours each week undoing the buckles and doing them all up again! The toy is well made and keeps her entertained for hours - some of the clips are compatible so the kids can either match the colours or match the connectors together. I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone.

Fantastic product. Kept my 19 month old very entertained at various points on our holiday-on the plane, in restaurants. It became our go to toy to pull out. Great size for little hands and for travelling, easily fit in my handbag. Different levels of challenging buckles so not mastered too quickly and therefore keeps them entertained for longer.
