Fit is the whole thing with children's shoes and the rule is about a thumb's width of growing room -- roughly 1.2 cm -- because children's feet grow in bursts and children do not reliably say a shoe hurts.
Full details →Who the GUND Philbin Classic Plush Teddy Bear 18-inch is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting a soft toy genuinely safe for an infant to handle while supervised.
Avoid it if: Anyone planning to put it in a cot with a sleeping baby under 12 months.

| Specification | GUND Philbin Classic Plush Teddy Bear 18-inch | Stride Rite Light-Up Athletic Sneakers for Kids |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹2,499 | ₹3,299 |
| Age grading | Birth and up | Toddler through youth sizing |
| Safety | Embroidered eyes rather than plastic ones, which is what makes it suitable from birth | LEDs are sealed in the sole with a non-replaceable battery. The shoe must be disposed of, not opened |
| Washing | Surface wash only. Machine washing mats the plush permanently | Wipe clean only. Submerging kills the LED circuit |
| Weight | 400 g | 200 g the pair |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Battery | not published | Sealed lithium cell -- do not attempt to open the sole |
| Cot safety | Safe sleep guidance still applies -- no soft toys in the cot for the first 12 months, regardless of how the toy is made | not published |
| Eyes | Embroidered, not plastic. Plastic eyes can detach and are a choking hazard, which is why most plush is graded 3 plus | not published |
| Fill | Polyester fibre, hypoallergenic | not published |
| Fit rule | not published | About 1.2 cm of growing room at the toe -- roughly a thumb's width. Less and the shoe is outgrown within weeks; more and the foot slides |
| LED life | not published | Roughly 100,000 steps, and not replaceable. The shoe is generally outgrown first |
| Size | 46 cm, which is large relative to an infant | not published |
| Sole | not published | Flexible rubber, which is what a developing foot needs rather than a rigid support sole |
| Why fit matters more for children | not published | Children's feet grow in bursts and they do not reliably report a shoe being too small. Measure every 2 to 3 months under 3, and every 4 months after |
| Why that matters | Embroidered features are the single specification that determines whether soft toys are safe for an infant | not published |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
