John Lewis shows a 4.9 average for the medium blue bunny, and other colours score the same or higher. The listing doesn’t show how many reviews that’s based on, so the score is marked as thin evidence until we can count them.
The only real drawback comes up once the bunny is loved: it needs washing. The label says surface wash only. In a Mumsnet thread, most parents machine wash it on a gentle cycle anyway, and many say the fur ends up matted and never gets quite as soft again.
It’s the safe choice for a new baby or a toddler’s Christmas stocking. If it turns into the one toy they can’t sleep without, think about buying a spare while it’s still in stock.
What reviewers praise
- Very soft
- Long ears that small hands can hold
- Beans in the base let it sit up
What they complain about
- The label says surface wash only
- Fur goes matted after repeated washing
- Some colours are already out of stock at John Lewis
- Not for
- A comforter that will need washing every week. It'll survive the machine, but it won't stay as soft.
