16-36 months

This collection brings together Chicco dummies for the 16-36 month stage, that is, designed for older children, with a teat size suited to this age. It's recommended to always respect the age range shown, as the teat size follows mouth development. The age is shown on each model's sheet.

The Physio Soft has a softer, more enveloping body, while the Physio Air features a teat with openings that improve air circulation and skin contact. Both follow Chicco's physiological shape, designed to respect the palate. The choice comes down to your child's preference.

The dummies in this collection have a silicone teat, a firm, odourless material that's easy to clean. Silicone is hard-wearing and doesn't retain flavours, making it a popular choice. Even so, it's recommended to regularly check the condition of the teat.

Physiological teats are designed to fit the roof of the mouth and the position of the tongue, aiming to respect oral development. However, no dummy replaces guidance from a paediatrician or dentist regarding prolonged use. It's recommended to follow the advice of your child's healthcare professional.

It's recommended to replace the dummy regularly, on average every four weeks, and whenever it shows signs of wear, changes in colour or damage to the teat. Before each use, check the teat's strength by gently pulling it. This check is a matter of safety.

Before first use, the dummy should be sterilised, and in the following weeks it should be kept clean through frequent cleaning. You can use steam, cold-water or boiling sterilisers, following the manufacturer's instructions. It's recommended to store it in a protective case when not in use.
