Wheelybug Toddler Wooden Ride-On, Multi-Directional Castor Wheels, Safety Certified Developmental Toy for Outdoor/ Indoor Fun, Small (1 - 3 Years), Bee

I have just purchased the large Tiger Wheelybug. It is of sturdy contruction, with the seat being well padded and easily cleanable. It has a high quality wood base with castors attatched (instead of conventional wheels), which makes it highly manoeuvrable.This is an incredibly attractive ride-on, the soft upholtery and bright colours will not fail to draw the child's attention. The ease of movement whilst aboard the Wheelybug, can allow the child to develop both their confidence, and movement skills.The Wheelybug may be a little 'wayward' for some children, especially on wooden or smooth floor coverings,which allow it to gather up speed,which the child may not be ready to handle. However with appropriate adult supervision,the child will be able to 'negotiate' any obstacle at their own pace.I would dissuade other children from pushing the Wheelybug, while being ridden by another child. as it is designed to be driven by its rider; otherwise it is potentially uncontrollable.To conclude my review, I will say the following; good value, excellently made, visually attractive, encourages confidence and dexterity, good exercise and fun to ride. From a safety aspect,it is strong and robust and the points I raised may apply to any toy, if not used responsibly.Lastly,the handle height is very low (tiger's ears almost touch the top of the handle);this is not so in the illustration. As the Wheelybug comes assembled,it would not appear that the handle height can be adjusted, or if it can be, there were no intructions on how to do this. Have others buyers found this?

I bought this for my daughter's 1st birthday after reading some of the reviews that said the small size was very small.It was too large for a one year old (as indicated on age guidance) and yet despite the fact it is described as 'large' it is not a big product. I am inclined to agree with other posters about the size, as I think anything smaller than this wouldn't last that long and would be grown out of quite quickly.However, my daughter took to it immediately, and although she couldn't ride on it at first, she sat and moved it around and talked to it's little face. Then when she started walking, she pushed it around and now rides on it well at 19 months.My son who is nearly 5 also likes it, and if often caught having a sneaky ride on it despite the fact he deems it a 'baby toy'. Most children of about 5 and under take a shine to it when seeing it.It is by far the nicest, most well-made ride-on toy I've seen. It's robust and the casters make it really fast on laminated floors and fun for the children to ride in all directions. It's easy to keep clean, and has a padded back which makes the seat part seem quite comfy.I highly recommend this toy and I think it's great quality at a good price.Every house should have a wheelybug mouse!

We ordered the smallest size (1-3) for our 1 year old for Christmas and it's absolutely gorgeous in design, beautifully made and put together. The only thing is, my daughter is very tall for her age and the mouse is actually a bit too small for her. Her bum barely fits on it it's that small. My daughter is bigger than most 1 year olds though, so if you have a small baby it should be fine. She's not interested in riding it just yet, she pushes it around like a toy car and lets her soft toys ride on it for now but it looks really lovely sat in our living room. We prefer wooden toys to the plastic type littering most living rooms so this little mouse fits in perfectly!! Would recommend, but if baby is on the big size, go one size up! Also, make sure little one has shoes or sturdy slippers on when riding - little toes could be easily run over! But the instructions tell you all that :)

I bought this Wheelybug mouse for my goddaughter's first birthday! As noted by other reviewers, it is smaller than you think, but it was the perfect size for my goddaughter and I'm sure will last her for quite a while as her three year old sister was able to ride it too! It is made with good quality materials and seemed very sturdy and well put together. The top of the mouse where the child sits only has minimal padding, but this certainly didn't seem to bother her. As well as riding it, my goddaughter also used it to walk with, so, I'm sure it will be useful as a walking aid too! The only negative I would say is the price, but then it is a quality product, so I suppose you get what you pay for! Overall though, I am very pleased with it!

Quite pricey, but the quality of this toy justifies this.Great toy, smaller than we expected but then, it is for 1 year olds+, very sturdy too.Easy to clean and lovely soft materials, we were very impressed with this!We liked that the Tiger design was a little different too (From the more commonly seen Ladybird Wheelybugs).Our daughter managed this from 1 year as it's very stable and it's still flying around the house nearly 2 years later!Very attractive and well made with strong castor wheels and wooden base, so much nicer than cheaper alternatives, no plastic, stickers or chatty sound effects etc with this. Highly recommended.
