Second, you can clean them off pretty easily with a wipe whereas plastic toys dont really clean off all that easily without a sink. Third, my son cant get tired of them -- if I dont give him a new HABA toy until after we board, the interest in the new toy usually doesnt diminish for a while into the flight.
Again, it depends on the child. There was a family across the aisle from me last year and they had this wooden playset that the baby kept hurling into the aisle. Luckily, no one was hurt but it was really a bad idea bringing that on board!
