Is the Bashful Silver Bunny safe for a newborn?

Yes. Jellycat lists it as suitable from birth, and it is tested to EN71, ASTM and ISO 8124. The hard eye is fixed, but check all labels and the eye for wear before giving it to a baby.

It measures 12.2 x 4.7 x 3.5 inches overall and sits about 9 inches tall. That makes it a lap-sized plush rather than a large cuddle toy.

Can I machine wash it?

No. Jellycat says to wash at 86°F only and not to tumble dry, dry clean or iron. Spot cleaning is the practical way to keep it fresh.

The shell is polyester, filled with polyester fibers and PE beans. The beans give the base enough weight to sit upright.

How does it compare with other Bashful bunnies?

It shares the Bashful shape, long ears and sitting height with the rest of the line. The difference is the silver-grey color and the fluffy tummy, so pick it if you want a neutral, slightly cooler tone.

It works well as a baby gift or a first cuddly toy, and its neutral silver-grey suits most nurseries. Jellycat plush is also collected by older kids and adults.
