Best Wearable Baby Teethers of 2020
Best Wearable Baby Teethers of 2020
There are a gazillion teethers to choose from, but very few are ones your baby can actually wear. This means you’re constantly picking up a dropped teether or trying to remember where you saw it last. Trust me when I say it's worth the extra effort to find a wearable teether that stays put!
Finding a teether that attaches to your baby in some way (and won't fall off) is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Luckily, we’ve put together the best wearable teethers of 2020 in this list so you don’t have to look any further.
What to Consider When Buying a Wearable Teether
Most of the teethers you see available at the Big Box stores are the typical ones your baby can hold in their hand. And even though they may be pretty cute and even helpful (we put together a list of our top favorites here), wouldn’t you prefer one that stays off the floor?!
In my experience this one element makes a big difference.
So now that you know you’re looking specifically for an attachable teether, let’s look at some other characteristics you’ll want to consider.
Safety of the Teether
Safety is number one when it comes to anything you’re going to give to your baby. Even though most companies have put their product through rigorous standards, that’s not always the case. It’s important to do your due diligence which often just takes a quick visit to a product’s safety page or FAQ section to find out the type of testing the product has undergone as well as the safety of the materials used.
For example, Tasty Tie has a transparent message here to state what it’s done to ensure they’re distributing a safe and quality product.
And by the way, it's not an oversight that you don't see an amber teething necklace on this list There are a number of concerns associated with this type of baby jewelry and I cannot in good conscience recommend it.
Your Baby’s Age
Some teethers are targeted to a wide age range that are suitable for young babies on up to toddlers, whereas others are best geared toward one age group. For the youngest set, you’ll want something that isn’t too firm for their tender gums as well as something they can easily hold.
Choosing a wearable teether is great no matter what your baby’s age because you’ll always know it’s within their reach when they need it.
How Well the Teether Stays On
Just because something is advertised as a wearable teether doesn’t mean that it won’t end up on the floor in 2.2 seconds. I mean we’ve all seen the bibs that are no match for the strong-willed 6-month-old.
Make sure the wearable teether that you choose is going to stay put as some fasteners work much better than others.
Our Favorite Wearable Teethers of 2020

Malarkey Kids Munch Mitt
If you have a baby who is either too young or not developmentally able to firmly grasp objects, it can be difficult to find a teether that will work for your little one.

Your baby will get twice the enjoyment with the stimulating crinkle sounds in the palm of the mitt.

Whereas the Munch Mitt works wonders for babies who can’t get enough of their hands, the Nuby Teethersock is perfect for your little feet chewer. Though there’s nothing wrong with a sweet little babe putting their feet in their mouth (and seriously how do they do that?!) this allows your baby to keep their feet warm while getting the gum stimulation they need to stay happy. One thing to note, however, is that though this comes with 2 socks, only one has the teething portion attached. As for whether this one actually stays put? The reviews are positive so I’d guess they stay on pretty well (unless you have one of those strong-willed littles we talked about earlier.)
