It looks like his eyes are plastic buttons, rather than sewn. I've read that this can be a choking hazard if they come off. Has anyone had problems?

They are very closely set in, and my grand-daughter has played with it daily since last August with no problems at all.

Sorry I am late with repsonding to a question asked. . . parental appts. are part of my daily routine these days. I am also sorry to say I can't help with an answer. I bought this for my 2 year old grand daughter and as far as I know it's fine and safe. I haven't heard anything to the contrary. Best Regards. . .

The eyes are not simply buttons sewn on. They are deeply into the head so I would imagine they have a stem on the inside which to me seems like they are heavy duty. I think it would take lots and lots of maneuvering to loosen them. If they ever did begin to come loose, I think you would notice it before a child had a chance to get ahold of them.

We gave this doll to my son when he was about 6 months old. He is 5 now and still loves on George (or "G" as he's known at our house) every night. We've repeatedly washed him and his eyes have never even loosened, let alone fallen off.

It's a Gund it's a high quality stuffed animal. The eyes are firmly attached to the one I bought, but I still wouldn't give it to any child under three just to be safe. The manufacturer says for ages 12 months to 5 years. There are some cute stuffed animals out there with embroidered eyes for very young children.

No, the eyes are plastic. I do not know how they are attached, but they seem to be secure.

I believe they were made out of wood. I donated them to the preschool I was teaching at when I moved.I think you should not have a problem putting an eye hook in them.

Ours is long gone, but had the same problem. Have no answer, just keep putting it back on. I guess you can try to glue it. That thing was a life saver. Plop the kid in and you can get some things done. Both kids loved it, especially when starting to walk.

They seem to go through the material with another piece on the inside securing them. There is no gap between the eyes and material. It seems well made.

Hello.....sorry for the delay, but I gave the sock monkey to a friend of mine so I had to wait for her answer. She said that the eyes are appliqued black circles. Hope that helps. Denise

The eyes were buttons but not the button with the four little thread holes. It was a black button.

Hello - "Bixby" does have button eyes. However, my 7 year old has slept, carried, traveled and played with him since he was 3 years old. I have washed and dried him many many times with the eyes never coming loose. I have had Bixby since 2004 it was on a shelf in my room in 2009 my son took a liking to him and he has been his "beary" ever since. I ordered a back up for the terrible day when he falls apart but so far so good!

No, the eyes on mine were even. Sounds like yours is defective. I would try getting a replacement, my niece loved hers and still has it. I don't remember when I purchased mine but it's been at least a year and still going strong.

They turned out too tight around the neck unfortunately - my son was average 8 month old when I tried these. It was soooooooo unfortunate because the colors, material and velcro are excellent! Trully trully need to have a bigger opening, the velco is also so good that I also see where it would not be good for an infant because it may hurt and or makes noise to take it off. I tried using them by leaving some velcro exposed to make neck opening wider but it would scratch and redden the back of my son's neck as it rubbed. I guess if your child has a skinny neck it may work for you. I gave them away to a smaller baby...sadly. Obviously i'm still upset they didn't work out for us. Hope this helps.

Hi. Maxie's eyes are plastic, not embroidered. His tag says ages 1+. However, I think he's cute enough to buy and hold until the baby is old enough to have him. He's soft, squishy, with such an appealing face, and cute, big feet! (Yes, I know I sound silly, but I'm a former teddy bear shop owner and Gund dealer and still completely addicted to bears and stuffed animals--and bought him for myself.) But again, his plastic eyes make him unsuitable for a very young baby. Thanks for listening!

The eyes are hard plastic beads. The bear is adorable tho. It is oh so soft and cuddly. But the eyes are not sewn in.

The eyes are completely fixed in, the only reason they would pop out is if it's faulty. But it's made out of good material so that's highly unlikely. If anything, they'll replace it for you. But my girlfriend hasn't had any issues with it so far.

Could it be an eye putty for positioning the eyes? You can remove the wig, open the head and move the eyes so they look where you want them. I am only guessing, since I do not have that doll, but this is how it usually goes with ball jointed dolls.

The eyes look to be glued and sewed around, with the backing wider than the opening they are in if that makes sense. It would take some time and persistent work to get them loose. Got them for my 18 month old, she is now 2 1/2 and we have had no issues, and they have all been through the wash.

I'm not sure if the eyes are glued in or sewn in, so if your little boy is that active, you might want to wait on giving this to him. My son is 17 years old and has wanted one of these for years, as long as it was made in the USA, so I finally broke down and got him one. If you would like for me to double check on the eyes (glued or sewn) let me know.
