Our take on the Fat Brain Toys Innybin
The Innybin is a shape-sorting box with a twist: instead of rigid holes, the bin has five stretchy elastic bands across its opening. Babies push chunky textured shapes through the bands, which give way and then grip, so the toy rewards squeezing and pulling rather than precise matching. It suits babies from about 10 months through toddlerhood, and it is simpler and more open-ended than a classic wooden shape sorter. Owners say the elastic holds up to repeated tugging and that the shapes are big enough for small hands and mouths.
- Stretchy bands make pushing shapes in and pulling them out satisfying
- Five chunky shapes with different textures and colors
- No batteries, no sounds, no screens
- Open-ended: babies can also stretch and poke the bands on their own
- Compact and light for travel

What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers describe the Innybin as a hit with babies around one year old, mainly because the stretchy bands are easier and more interesting than a standard shape sorter. Many say it holds attention longer than expected and survives being chewed and thrown. A few note that interest fades once children master it.
- Elastic bandsPraisedReviewers say the stretchy bands let even young babies push shapes through, which is easier than rigid shape-sorter holes.
- Shape varietyMixedOwners like the five textured shapes but say there are too few to keep older toddlers engaged.
- DurabilityMixedThe plastic holds up well, but some owners report the elastic bands loosening or fraying after months of use.
Questions and answers
- What age is the Innybin for?
- It is labeled from 10 months. Most babies get the hang of pushing shapes through the bands around one year, and interest usually lasts into the second year.
- How is it different from a regular shape sorter?
- There are no fixed holes. Five elastic bands cross the opening, so shapes go in and out at any angle. That makes it easier for younger babies and more open-ended.
- What comes in the box?
- The bin with its elastic bands and five chunky textured shapes. No batteries or assembly are needed.
- Can the elastic bands be replaced?
- No, the bands are fixed to the bin. If they stretch out or fray, the toy is done.
- Is it safe for a baby who mouths toys?
- The plastic is sturdy and the shapes are large, but the stated minimum age is 10 months. Check the shapes regularly for cracks and keep them away from babies under that age.
- Is it good for travel?
- Yes. It is light and compact, and the shapes store inside the bin, though there is no lid to keep them contained.
