Product Description
Product Description
The adorable Wheelybugs scream quality. Their ultra simple lines, cute looks and vibrant designs instantly stand out in a sea of plastic and their sturdy wooden frames can withstand any amount of robust love and fun. With their funky looks, the Wheelybugs have a great unisex appeal making them ideal 'hand me down' toys, especially as they always look as good as new!
The Wheelybug was born when its inventor saw his neighbour's toddler repeatedly hit a garden wall on his ride on and cry in frustration. As a result, unlike most wheel based ride-ons, the Wheelybugs feature unique multi-directional castors that offer easy manoeuvrability and limitless mobility that toddlers love. This not only keeps the toddler's interest in the toy sustained for far longer, but helps develop spatial awareness and encourages them to use a greater variety of lower limb muscles. An easily grip-able handle bar also means the Wheelybug can be used as a push along toy when babies or toddlers are taking their first faltering steps.
In a room full of toys children always make a beeline for the Wheelybugs, smitten by their cute looks, accessible size and simple fun. Their clean lines and vibrant designs also appeal equally to adults who are proud to display them in their homes--a rare feat for a toddler toy! Thanks to the body’s robust wooden base and padded layer of sponge covered with tough polyurethane that can be easily wiped clean, the Wheelybug has been designed to withstand years of being ridden, pushed, pulled, kissed and cuddled with abandon.

Size Name:Small (1-3 yrs)
Quite simply the best toy ever. I bought this for my son at 12 months. It has been in almost daily use for 5 years since then, now mostly by his baby sister (19 months) but he still has a spin on it when he can (although he's far too big now).
Both children started using it backwards, pushing it about like a brick trolley, and progressed to clambering over it and sliding off, before using it 'properly' and sitting astride, propelling themselves with their feet. They can get up quite a speed, and it is very easy to control, having castors instead of wheels.
This is just so superior to the bright plastic (often electronic) ride-on toys that most children are bought, and lasts a lot longer. It has been wee'd on, had all sorts of unpleasant substances all over it, been crashed at speed into the furniture and been ridden inside and outdoors, yet is so sturdy it looks as good as new.
It's an absolute classic that I think no home should be without. The perfect gift for any 1 year old, and for years to come. Ours is really just another member of the family now. (Incidentally from a parent's point of view it also looks much nicer in your home than the cheap plastic rubbish you normally see!)

Size Name:Small (1-3 yrs)
Ordered this wheelybug for my daughter, who is 20 month at the moment. Now, my daughter is not overweight or anything, quite petite actually, and I found out, that her bottom is sliding off the wheelybug, as it seems to be too small for her. Therefore, I will have to return in in exchange for bigger one. This is too small. So be warned, check the dimensions, before you buy.

Size Name:Small (1-3 yrs)
Having researched into the ideal present for my son's first birthday, I decided to purchase the ladybird wheelybug. I liked the idea of a robust, fun, but practical toy that will last for several years (hopefully!), and love the idea that it isn't manufactured out of plastic like so many other toys on the market. However, although my son is 'average' size for his age, I decided to buy the large version after reading other reviews and wanting something to last more than a year or so.
Already the wheelybug is his favourite toy, and he crawls around everywhere with it - as well as using it to practice standing up. I can see this being a firm favourite as it is cute looking and something that a baby/toddler can play with at different stages of development. There seems to be no problem with using it on carpet, although I assume it travels faster on laminate!?
Worth every penny - and in my opinion, the perfect present for a one year old! Extremely pleased with purchase and would definitely recommend. Suggest purchasing large size though to gain maximum useage.
