This Ride-on Runs Circles Around the Others

Kids love ride-on toys. We have several for our little boy, and he enjoys them all. But even he would agree that not one of them gives him the freedom of movement that the Wheely Bug by Prince Lionheart does. Unlike other ride-ons that just have wheels (scoff!), the Wheely Bug sits on casters. This means it can go forward, backward, side-to-side, and even spin around. How fun is that? With this ride-on you don't have to worry about your little one throwing those frustrated little temper tantrums because the toy won't turn when they want it to. This thing moves wonderfully. We loved it when Kitt was learning to walk. He loved pushing it around, and the handle has a nice, slip-resistant material on it. The Wheely Bug isn't just available as a bee, either. You can also get it as a ladybug, cow, mouse or tiger. Raaarrr. The only negative thing I've heard about the Wheely Bug is that the "small" version is pathetically small - as in, don't waste your time - just get the big one. So check it out. Rock and roll, babies.

They seem to have a simplistic design which is nice, some toys are so loud and complicated they actually scare the children. I also find these more complex toys tend to have bits that break off easily and the children they're aimed at simply take them apart, especially the boys! my son has an obsession with vacuming and has broken three toy vacumes already, but wheely bugs seem to be able to take a bump or several! My son is nearly 18 months old so I will get the larger one based on your advise. thanks.

Planning to get this for my daughter. Thanks for the tip on getting the larger one. I was thinking of doing that and after reading your review, I'm set!
