 O Captain! My Captain!Nov 20, 2010
By Natasha Stryker
This little stuffed cephalopod has always entertained my baby daughter since we got him months ago.
The legs are lovely to chew on, the hat makes nice crinkly noises when clinched in teeny fists, and the secret mirror between his teNtacles (careful spelling that) is always a happy surprise while slobbering on the plastic teething rings.
The Captain is bigger than I expected, making him actually cuddly, which is great.
The noises he emits when being played with are never annoying, which is much appreciated.
He can entertain both sexes without lacking personality, unlike some gender-neutral toys...I am looking at you Mr. Plain Yellow Duck.
I tip my hat to the Captain for allowing me to wash the dishes for a FULL 20 minutes to the sounds of a delighted and entertained baby.

Lots of good features, keeps him entertainedAug 13, 2010
By Amanda B
I have several of the Lamaze Play and Grow toys. This is one of the better ones. My baby got this around 4.5 months and is now 6.5 months. The tentacles are nice for chewing on. He really likes the felt feather in the hat. The rings are probably his favorite part of this toy because they are easy to hold and he can chew on them. He's getting better at grabbing the rattle ball. The mirror does nothing for him, surprisingly. Over all, the toy is very cute and kinda reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow which makes a lot of adults that see it like it as well.
As far as comparing it to the other Lamaze Play in Grow Toys we have, I'd probably rank them in this order:
1. Jacques the Peacock (excellent toy and perfect length to hang off the side of my diaper bag, I highly recommend)
2. Freddie the Firefly (very good length to hang off the stroller visor)
3. Captain Calamari
4. Tina the Tiger
5. Logan the Lion

 Cute but.....Mar 07, 2011
By Samylee00
I ordered this along with the elephant and the beaver, I am returning this one and the beaver but keeping the elephant. The reason I ordered 3 is because we have one already I believe it is the butterfly one which my 5 month old loves. This guy is cute and that is about it, once we got it out of the packaging there really isn't much for the baby to play with, nothing really for him to pull on. When you attach it to the carseat, crib or stroller all the "entertainment" just kind of hangs there and really there isn't much to it. I was very disappointed with it because it is so cute. I would definitly reccommend the elephant and the butterfly one becaues they do have things to keep a child entertained.

Captain...Octopus.May 04, 2012
By NiFO
Sorry to get technical here, but first things first: this guy is an octopus. 8 appendages = octopus. 10 appendages = squid.
Okay, now that that technicality is out of the way...
This toy is all right. I'm sure it's just like any other toy--it's going to be a hit or a miss. With my daughter, it's been a miss. I bought this thinking I could hang it from her carseat handle, but I wasn't paying attention to the dimensions and it's rather huge to be doing that. I started exposing it to her around 2 months of age at which point she showed minimal interest. On an exciting day, she'd suck on the knots on the ends of the legs and that was about it. She just never got into any of the features or found this toy particularly interesting (she's now over 1 year old). She loves toys that rattle and make sounds or toys she can gnaw on, but I still could never get her interested in the rings or rattling ball on this toy.
Unfortunately, our Captain Octopus remains very lonely buried at the bottom of the toy basket.

 Love it but could be dangerous!Apr 26, 2012
By Melissa78
My son has had this for a few months now and LOVES it. However, the other day I noticed that there is a "wire like" piece of material sticking out of the tentacle where the ball hangs. It is very sharp and could easily break skin so please be aware. It sticks out on the part where it is tied. Please check yours and make sure it is fine before giving it to your baby.
