| Specification | Stride Rite Light-Up Athletic Sneakers for Kids | GUND Philbin Classic Plush Teddy Bear 18-inch |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹3,299 | ₹2,499 |
| Age grading | Toddler through youth sizing | Birth and up |
| Safety | LEDs are sealed in the sole with a non-replaceable battery. The shoe must be disposed of, not opened | Embroidered eyes rather than plastic ones, which is what makes it suitable from birth |
| Washing | Wipe clean only. Submerging kills the LED circuit | Surface wash only. Machine washing mats the plush permanently |
| Weight | 200 g the pair | 400 g |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Battery | Sealed lithium cell -- do not attempt to open the sole | not published |
| Cot safety | not published | Safe sleep guidance still applies -- no soft toys in the cot for the first 12 months, regardless of how the toy is made |
| Eyes | not published | Embroidered, not plastic. Plastic eyes can detach and are a choking hazard, which is why most plush is graded 3 plus |
| Fill | not published | Polyester fibre, hypoallergenic |
| Fit rule | 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 | not published |
| LED life | Roughly 100,000 steps, and not replaceable. The shoe is generally outgrown first | not published |
| Size | not published | 46 cm, which is large relative to an infant |
| Sole | Flexible rubber, which is what a developing foot needs rather than a rigid support sole | not published |
| Why fit matters more for children | 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 | not published |
| Why that matters | not published | Embroidered features are the single specification that determines whether soft toys are safe for an infant |
