Our daughter loves this. It has been a lot of fun for quite a few months. The Wheelybug Ladybird Ride-on is a stable and sturdy rideable that has been a source of entertainment over a couple of different growing phases. It is an attractive red colour and the manufacturing seems solid enough for a baby to use without too much worry. The steering (wheel direction) is a little wobbly at times when at high speed but it goes in the right direction and the wheels align well. The added prongs at the front haven't had too much playtime for us but this has been an excellent product.The first phase of use in our household was with daddy pushing baby around. It is a great experience for both.

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.

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,

I bought the small Wheelybug Tiger for my little one year old. Its a great design, with low wheels on a board and a soft spongy body. Good stability... wonderful idea as its low down and a nice first ride-on before moving up to a car style toddler vehicle. Wished I had something like this when my eldest was smaller... so delighted to find one for my baby... The 1 year old isn't able to ride on it yet, and probably won't be able to able to for a while, but he likes it and has fun pushing it round. My 3 year old scoots around on it (although its pretty small for him of course). My only quibble about it is that it is very very small and I regret not having read more reviews on this item previous to purchasing it as I would definitely have gone for the large size.

We bought this for our daughter's 1st birthday and it has been a huge hit!It is the perfect size for her and whilst we were initially tempted to buy the large one (for growth) I'm so pleased that we chose the small one as it has allowed her to enjoy it from day one. As yet she has not quite managed to make it go by sitting on it but she takes great delight in using it as a very high speed walker. Her four year old brother also manages to squeeze his bottom on and propel himself around (despite his long legs) so it is a popular toy in our house at the moment.It is a very high quality item with a solid base (that has unfortunately managed to make considerable dents in our television stand)

At first i couldn't decide whether to purchase the large or small wheely bug for my daughter. She is a smaller than average 18 month old and i decided to opt for the bigger one after having a closer look at them in toys r us. The smaller one seemed way too small and i am glad i made the choice of getting the larger one. Its so cute and looks fab in my lounge!! I have a lot of comments from visitors and would definately reccommend it. It is made with care and is a quality childrens toy unlike a lot of the tat that is on the shelves at the moment. It is sturdy and hardy and will take a lot bumping and bashing from children. I love the wheely bug and intend now to buy one for my 4 year old son because he loves his sisters that much they fight over it,

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,

What a beautiful gift. We gave it to our little girl on her first birthday and she was so excited when we unwrapped it for her.She doesn't quite operate it yet in its intended way and rather pushes her in front of her like a walker but she loves it when we scoot her around on it.Unlike some of the other reviews who said the small version may be too small - it is just perfect for a one year old. Our little one is average in size for a girl that age and she can just about reach the floor with the tip of her feet. We also went to several stores and asked them about the sizing issue and the recommended to be the smaller version as well.So far I am quite glad I did what they said and even my husband who initially wanted to go for the bigger version,

Brought the small mouse ride-on for a 1st birthday present and although much more expensive then the modern plastic ride-ons I think it has been a good investment. My other children whizz on the laminate flooring on it even though they are much to big really for it. It has the quality you would expect from a traditional wooden toy and is interesting to look at when not in use, has an old fashioned feel to it. The very quirky design make it a real winner when any other children come for a visit. The wheels go in any direction and the handle bar is perfect for little hands to grip. My daughter aged 1 was average height and her feet were able to touch the floor,

I was quite weary while placing this order as I was dreading a not-child-friendly ride-on would arrive. And although my toddler kept choosing BIG Bobby for the first few months, this tiger toy is quite popular (though Bobby is much more often used as it was there 2 years before this thing). My 11-months-old also likes Bobby (due to the sibling's preferences I assume and the fact it has a button and a steering wheel), but this tiger is constantly used to leanon to walk. And although our floors are partly quite slippery, the baby manages nicely and mastered a safe stroll.It's super manoeuvrable and its back is quite even for a child to sit on without a too-noticeable tilt.

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!

I was toying (!) with which size to get and went with the small in the end but it is quite small. I don't think it will affect our son's enjoyment of the toy but perhaps the larger size would have been better for longevity of use. Our son was 10.5 months at Christmas, length about 74cm and he certainly isn't dwarfed by it. Feet touch the ground & he can slide off the body backwards quite easily. I haven't seen the large and it would probably have been too large but I would say the small is a 'perfect fit' now and so may not last as long as I would have hoped. However, the quality of the product is top notch; our son loves making the antennae 'boinggg'

My daughter got a small ladybird for her 1st birthday last week and although she's very little for her age, her feet just touch the floor while she sits on it. I know it won't be long before she works out how to scoot around on it! But even when she's just sitting on it or playing with the springy antenna she LOVES it and giggles and giggles! My son is 3 and very tall for his age and its a brilliant size for him too, so I know that it will provide years and years of fun. We initially bought the large bug thinking we'd get more use out of it but ended up exchanging it for the smaller which was a much better size for a younger child. It's extremely robust and well made,

The small ladybird wheelybug is such a wonderful idea that converts a conventional ride on toy into something so funky and cute. Our 2 year old Emma just loves it to bits! The design is robust enough to withstand the (ab)use by the toddlers but also would not give a sore eye to any respectable sitting room as it has been the talking point and the eye catcher of the adult guests who come to visit us. There are the larger version of the wheelybug but I think the smaller one suits the toddler better as they just start to walk at this stage and the ride on is an attractive toy to them at this stage.

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.
