They come in two age ranges from 1-3 and 3-5 so we decided on the smaller version. The Wheelybug will move around in any direction due to the castors and boasts a little padding for small bottoms. We originally bought this when Beastie was 9 months old (at Christmas) for when he was bigger. In the early days it was used alongside his walker as an aid and now at nearly 2 it's a massive hit. He whizzes around with impressive coordination and steering ability, so it definately helps with balance etc. However, by far the most common use for it is ramming it at great speed into ankles! As with most toddlers, quick reflexes are required.
As shown in the picture above, we have the Tiger version, complete with fluffy ears. Beastie considers this inanimate object as one of his friends, so much so I found the Wheelybug placed on his potty accompanied by the sound of pssssssssssssss. If only Beastie could grasp that concept himself...
All in all this is a great little buy and I would upgrade to the larger version when we need to, if I haven't found another invention by then!
We love ours! Her name is Clara. She's a cow. Very Fancy!
ReplyDeleteLove Clara, I feel we need a name now other than 'Wheelybug', how boring!
ReplyDeleteWe have the lady bug one. My daughter got it when she was just coming up to a year old. She's 2 now and she still loves it. Great product indeed!
ReplyDeletegot a bee - love it! it's called the bee (I think that's OK)
ReplyDeleteWe have the ladybug one. Poppy got hers for her 1st Birthday and used to run around pushing it before she could walk and therefore use it properly. It has been well loved and used and I can't wait to get it out again for my little one Rosie. Poppy just called hers Bug but will have to think of a cool name for next time xx
ReplyDeleteOh gosh I'll have to get one. Is he really nearly 2? I always thought he and Aaron were only a couple of months apart x
ReplyDeleteMixing up with another boy. Ignore me. x
