Popular soft toy (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

teddy bear

(Other definitions for teddy bear that I've seen before include "Child's toy, musically in picnic" , "cling to this for comfort?" , "what kid may be allowed at bedtime" , "Soft toy" , "Cuddly toy, named after President Roosevelt" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
