Ella is almost 14 months and LOVES her blankie. She is also very spirited. The only time she gets it outside of her bed is on long car rides. We just got back from a camping trip this morning that was 1.5 - 2 hours away. It works great! She was content pretty much the whole time cuddling up to her blankie, playing peek-a-boo by herself with it, playing with the outer silk border, and just sitting with it.
