Workmanship without reservations. A connection of the handle with non-slip silicone was used, which is beneficial for the comfort of use. Everything matched exactly. The toothbrush is made of materials that are safe for the child's health. It has no sharp or dangerous parts that could pose a risk. Both the handle and the head are well designed. A product tailored to the age of recipients, taking into account their developmental needs. The illuminated tip makes it easier to observe the teeth while brushing and in my opinion it is a hit that is also worth using in toothbrushes for adults. The vibrations seem to be gentle and are not particularly transmitted to the hand. A product necessary in everyday hygiene. It allows you to introduce good habits into your child's routine early on.

The sonic toothbrush is an interesting proposition for parents - it gives the opportunity to care for the oral cavity of very young children. However, from the speech therapy point of view, sonic toothbrushes can be used not only for care, but also for sensory stimulation of the oral cavity. Replaceable tips attached to sonic toothbrushes make it easy to adapt them to the age and condition of the teeth.

Comments from testers
Anna, mother of Basia (2,2 years old)
My daughter and I used the sonic toothbrush for the first time and I am positively surprised, I have the impression that the teeth are better cleaned with it than with an electric toothbrush. The child willingly used it alone and easily withstands the recommended 2 minutes of washing.
Katarzyna, Maria's mother (2 years old)
The product is made very carefully. Marysia liked the colors and outline of the penguin. The bristles in the brush are soft, do not irritate the gums and gently clean the teeth. The backlight of the head is attractive to the toddler and thanks to the timer, the child learns how long to brush his teeth.
Jakub, Zuzia's dad (10 months)
The product is cool, designed with the youngest in mind. The colors and the illuminated tip are encouraging for children. The vibrations are not strong, they did not bother Zuzia. The bristles are soft, but fluffy due to the teething, the brushed gums sometimes bled. The durability of the product is excellent, the product is still in the condition it was in before the first use.
Magdalena, mother of Helena (3,4 years old)
We enjoyed the brush. The built-in timer is a practical solution - it signals the minimum washing time. We practiced this way - the first minute the daughter brushes, the second minute the parent. The non-slip handle is also a useful solution, especially for small children's hands.
Renata, mother of Stanisław (1 year)
Stas likes to brush his teeth with this toothbrush, sometimes he wants to brush again after finishing, so the product is great. The vibrations are good for massaging the gums. I recommend.
Where to buy
Younger children have delicate gums, therefore a sonic toothbrush dedicated to children is equipped with sonic vibrations, which are more gentle than sonic movements. Thanks to this, its use does not pose a risk of damaging sensitive primary teeth. Sonic vibrations have no negative impact on the child or the parent's musculoskeletal system and are only minimally transmitted to the user. An additional advantage of sonic toothbrushes is the combination of vibrations with the need to perform standard sweeping movements required when cleaning with a traditional toothbrush. This does not free the child from working with his or her hands and develops him or her manually.
