Bought for my grandsons birthday present Have used this product many years ago and found it sturdy washable and great fun for the child.
1st birthday present for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. Very easy to use. Sturdy wheel base so I don’t feel the need to worry when she’s trying to get on and off. Lovely design, have had lots of positive comments and people asking where it’s from. Appears to be very durable. Easy to clean.
Beautifully built and very sturdy. Love being able to change the covers as it gets grubby with use!
1 year old grandson pushes this along on his knees but hopefully he will be able to sit and push it along very soon. Very easily manoeuvred. Delighted with the purchase.
Best gift i brought my niece she loved it. Its very solid and will last for years.
Bought this for my 1yo. 1yo absolutely loves it. Very high build quality, super easy to clean and now a much loved toy, although 1yo has since moved on from scooting around on it to trying to use it as a kettle bell.
This Wheely Bug glides along the floor even on carpet. It’s solidly built but now my granddaughter is at an age where she wants to stand on everything I have to keep an eye on her when playing with this toy. Great fun though
Not only is the ride-on attractive as an object but the wheels and antennae provide a lot of entertainment too. Riding the bee seems less important to its owner than playing with the moving parts at present, but I can see that this toy will be a source of fun for years to come!
Bought for son’s first birthday and he loves it! It arrived ready assembled which was a huge bonus for my husband! Excellent quality, very sturdy and looks good. Very pleased with this purchase.
These wheely bugs are great very robust and quality toys. The materials used are lovely soft to touch but hard-wearing and easy to clean. Little ones have loved flying around ours.
Bought for my grandsons birthday. He loves it and zooms around on it for hours. I bought a different one about 10 years ago for another grandson and he loved his too so much so that i wouldnt consider any alternatives.
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 🙂
Bought this for my grandson age 12 months. He uses it as a walker. My 4-year old granddaughter loves sitting on it and scooting around the house. Its very sturdy and easy to wipe clean.
I can’t wait for my son to try the bug. I’m a bit disappointed it arrived with a rip. I could try to exchange it but if it gets loads of use, which i hope it will, then I’m sure it will get loads of scratches anyway. I still would’ve rather it arrived perfect though.
Quite expensive for the size as it won’t last very long due to size. A good quality product though and very appealing to look at. Goes along really well. My granddaughter was 18 months when she got it and she loves it. If for a child more than 2 I would be inclined to get the bigger one.
Had this for about a year now, and my 22 month old adores it. It took her a little time to figure it out, but she plays with it at least once a day now.
We bought this for my son’s first birthday. He is a heavy boy and tall for his age but the wheelybug is perfect for him. It didn’t take him long to figure out what to do and he was soon whizzing around the house. Really pleased with our purchase.
My little one plays with it all day, and her 8 year old brother. They love it! It’s very stable on the floor, they can go fast, my I’ll Tel one even holds it in her hands and hugs it, and best part- it doesn’t take much space in the house, so the dad is happy too!
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. It’s easy to clean and looks good after a year of light use.
Highly recommended.
It’s a brilliant toy this is for my great grandchild, but I purchased one 11years ago for my one year old grandson, and then his sister my 7 year old has had years of pleasure to, they both straddle it now round the kitchen would highly recommend Dianne
This has been a lovely toy to help my son become more confident towards walking, learn to scoot with his legs and develop a bit more physical independence. It is really well built and very sturdy, doesn’t tip easily, has really flexible steering and has lasted brilliantly. It is shame my son is so tall as he was a little big for it by the time he could really zoom around on it much, but he is right at the top of the height spectrum.
This is the third one we’ve bought for our grandchildren and each of them has loved them. They start by just pushing them around, then gradually learn to ride them. This one has the very attractive plush covering. No idea yet how well it will wear so can’t rate durability properly. However, the previous two wheelybugs are still going strong so the basic functionality is excellent.
Love this! Well worth the money. Really well made, quirky and cute. Love how the wheels turn any direction. My daughter is 22 months and I wasn’t sure which size to go for. After reading reviews I decided to get the large one and she struggles slightly to reach the floor enough to get going. That being said I’m glad I did get the bigger one as it last longer but either size would be fine at this age and she loves it.
Lovely product. Well made & super cute & nice to have something non plastic! A little tricky for my 1 year old to master sitting on, he prefers to use it as a walker because it’s easy to slide off when sat, but it does not detract from how lovely it is.
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!
Fabulous toy! I bought this for my little grandaughter who is 16 months old. It is perfect as it is really low and little, so ideal for a small baby unlike most sit and ride toys. My grandaughter could operate it immediately, sitting on it and using it as a push a long toy also. She can also get off it without hurting herself because it is so low. Needs help getting into sitting position atm. I am confident this will be a well used and loved toy as my great niece who is 4 still uses and loves her mouse! Well worth the money and so much nicer than plastic junk equivalents in my opinion!
The ladybird design really appeals not only to me but also to our toddler and 5-year old. The toddler cannot ride on it yet, as she seeks sturdy stability for early steps rather than a moving thing. But I have seen her TALK to the ladybug and she pings her feelers with endless joy. My reservation: Everything about the bug is clearly made to last and the wood and metal parts give a nice natural feel, however the PU cover is a concession to cost, I feel – sturdy, but not very natural.
I bought this for my daughter’s first birthday and she used it as a walker and we would sit her on it and race her around the house. She LOVES this mousy. Always a favourite, every toddler and child has always made a beeline for it when they come around. She’s now nearly 3 and still uses it daily. I’m so pleased we bought the large size as she will continue to get use out of it for at least another year or so. Still looks brand new despite daily use. It won’t look like a hand me down when her sister is old enough to use it!
I bought this for my granddaughter’s first birthday. She is now 13 months old and it is her favourite toy by far. The whole design is very user friendly and stable for a small child but it is the castors that are the amazing part. She uses it to push at the moment and it is so easy to move round with the swivel castors. She is not a confident walker yet but she is very confident almost running while she pushes it round the furniture and in and out of the rooms. Preferably chasing me! Great fun.
what a truly lovely item. Bought for my one year old niece, the small is the perfect size for her. She loves to sit on it and be pulled backwards and forwards and, when she is a little bit bigger, it will be very easy for her to push herself around on. Structurally this is a very solid item, made of wood and so I expect this to last a very long time indeed. The covers are very cute as well and can be removed for easy cleaning
This is a fantastic walking aid for any child’s first steps and ride on for any ridler. My daughter loves it and wants to take it everywhere. It has the perfect resistance so it doesn’t just run away from her on any surface or let her fall foreword. It is a solid toy and is going to withstand any kind of useshe will like give it. With this being available in different sizes I will definitely be buying them as she grows.
We bought this for my daughters first birthday. She is very tall for her age so we chose to go with the large, although it was slightly big to scoot around on she was still able to sit on it and loves pushing it around so I’m glad we opted for the larger size as I think she’ll get more use out of it in years to come. It’s a really lovely toy, made to a high quality and my daughter loves playing with the ladybird antennae, very pleased with the product and the service we received. The only negative would be I wish they made changeable covers for the large wheelybug as they do the small ones.
I bought the larger one after reading the reviews that the small one was too small for their tall one year old as my son would be 13 months at Christmas and he’s quite tall, it’s about the right size but unfortunately he’s not ready for a sit on toy yet , great quality looks good and he loves the cow horns , and because I got the larger one it will be suitable for a few more years
This little ride-on is very robust and well worth paying a bit more for than the plastic alternatives, most of which have a steering wheel or handle bars that are fixed, so that the rider can only go backwards or forwards. Fitted with castors, this little ride-on can go in any direction. The thing that perhaps we were not ready for was a “learning curve” for the younger rider. You and I, as adults can see that what you do is sit on the thing, hold on to the loop and propel yourself with your feet in the direction that you want to go, but I have to admit that this concept was not easy for our 1-year old grand-daughter to grasp as a first-time experience. The plastic variety that involve an element of balancing, would surely have been more of a challenge however. This toy will last for years or until our grand-daughter tires of it and wants something more complex – whichever occurs the sooner. In the meantime it represents a sound play investment.
This was my grand-daughter’s first birthday present. She is too small to sit on it yet but loves pushing it round the room and practising her walking skills. I’m really glad I bought the large size as it’s still not very big – can’t think why they make the smaller size really. Her five year old brother manages to sit on it and scoot himself along fine – until he gets shooed off as it’s Matilda’s toy! I’m sure she’ll have loads of fun when she is able to sit on it and ride properly.
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.
My 14 month old granddaughter loves her Wheelybug pig! She can’t walk yet but can whizz around on her pig, giving her independence and building up muscle strength and balance in readiness for walking. The pig is just the right size and she holds onto the handle so it seems to be ergonomically designed. It is very manouverable and she can ride it just as easily on a hard floor and on carpet. It is well made and very sturdy. I thought it was a bit expensive when I bought it but now she is riding it I think it is worth every penny.
We bought this for our son’s first birthday, thinking it might help him with his balance and boost his confidence to walk. We also picked this brand because of its reputation for being sturdy & qualitative, and this design because it is not too massive compared to other models.
After one month, our son doesn’t use the Bee as a ride-on, but as a walker! He will push it around the living room again and again. Sometimes on his knees, sometimes bent over it. We are not disappointed by the look and quality of the Wheelybug either, it is nice and solid indeed.
Note that Size 1 is quite small and I don’t think that our son will be able to use it for a very long time, which is why I am not giving this toy five stars but only four!
I got this as a Christmas present for my nephew. It arrived very quickly. It’s quite expensive in my opinion but seems to be a good quality toy. My nephew is too young for it at the moment but I imagine you’d have to be careful on wooden flooring at first. I read a lot of reviews saying the small size is too small, it is smaller than I imagined it would be but it would be fine for that age group (maybe even older)
Friends who come often comment on how nice it is. It was bought for my daughter’s first birthday, she still plays with it now at 2 and a half and I’m sure it’ll continue to get used for a while to come. I was concerned when I bought it as I saw comments that it’s a bit small, but it still fits my daughter fine.
I’m pleased I spent a bit extra to buy such a nice, well made, well designed toy. It has the feel of a solid, traditional, well built wooden toy.
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, now agrees this was the right choice!
Fabulous toy and Ideal for little ones. Very well made and an Ideal gift. Very pleased with purchase. My one year old niece loved it as did her older cousins.
We bought the large Wheelybug Pig Ride-On for our grand-daughter (aged 2) and it is without doubt her favorite toy to date. She is quite tall for her age and having just turned 3 I only wonder how much longer she will be able to ride it for? She races around the place and manages a fair number of crashes along the way, yet Piggy is none the worse for wear at all!
Very well made and money well spent in our view, it is only let down by the relatively small sizing.
This ladybird wheelybug is really cute and very high quality. It is padded, so softer than it looks in the pictures. It has been bought as a present for my daughter’s first birthday; I chose the large size as she isn’t quite ready to use it yet (the instructions state that the child must be able to walk unassisted and that it should not be used as a push-along walker), and by the time she is, the small will probably be a little too small (or won’t last for much longer). This will last her for a good few years. I have tested it out and it manoeuvres very well! Recommended.
In addition, I, (in South Africa) was very impressed at the efficiency of purchasing this gift online. I will be using your services often in the future to spoil my family who live so far away.
Sincerely,
Bev McNeill.
He loved it straight away. As he got older he pushed it by the handle and then went to sitting on it and to whizzing around the house. He is nearly 3 years now and quite tall for his age but still is comfortable whizzing around on the small version. It was been used nearly every day during the last 2 and a half years.
It is really well built and the fact that it is on casters makes it easy for the little ones to manoeuvre out of the corners.
Highly Recommend. One of the best toys I have every bought !
I wasn’t sure what size to get for my son on his 1st birthday took my time and decided to buy the large one was worried that it would be too big but I had nothing to worry he loves pushing it around he can actually run with it ! now at 15mths he can sit on it and move around a little.im glad a brought the large size. would recommend this product as had to buy a second one the ladybird for his brother who is 2rs old as they kept on fighting who’s playing with i
That said this is a quality toy, built to last and with a cute little tail as well. My niece has not actually ridden on it yet she just pushes it around backwards with the handle, but she seems to enjoy it!
**It’s 4 months later and she now rides on it a lot, she loves scooting around the hard kitchen floor with it and even manages to get around on it over the livingroom carpet**
This is a lovely item. We purchased the slightly larger wheeley bug for our 1 year old as we knew our 3 year old would also want to play – definitely worth paying that extra bit.
It is bright, sturdy and colourful. Highly recommended.
The only problem was the delivery by the courier company – they have delivered to me quite a few times, but internal issues within the company ( the driver!) meant my item wasn’t delivered on the day it was allocated. However the courier company apologised and gave me a shorter slot for the following day.
Well done, I don’t often feel the need to write reviews but I would highly recommend this toy for the active baby.
My daughter has just turned one but is very tall. After reading the reviews I decided to order the large wheelbug and this was definitely the right decision. It is a really well made, solid toy and although my daughter hasn’t quite figured it it’s to ride on she loves patting it and pushing it! It’s very cute and looks great too. Had issue with the courier allegedly delivering it and leaving it but this didn’t happen, however a replacement was sent out immediately. Definitely purchase the large as the small is not much taller than a trolley of bricks!
Got to know about the Wheely Bug via a friend’s blog and ordered it promptly – my daughter (1 yr 8 months, 84 cm tall) adores it. Safe to use – she hasn’t fallen off once. We’re lucky to have lots of space so she can ride around on it freely. I’m thankful for the recommendations to get the bigger size, which I did and am glad, the smaller one would have probably be too small even though age-wise the smaller sounded more appropriate. Now I hope she can enjoy it for a while!
Quality seems very high indeed – it’s not cheap, but I do think I got what I paid for.
Glad we bought the smaller size – it’s not so small that she’ll grow out of it quickly.
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) but also small enough to be stored away in a tiny space. I also think that the fact that it has four castors and not fixed wheels makes it much more fun and far less frustrating for her.
We love it!
Couldn’t decide which size to get for my 1 year old, opted for the large, and she rides it really well now she’s 2, she’s not a big girl either. The smaller one is good for a short time (she has played with it in J.Lewis) but as they get bigger they slide off the back, they don’t really ride when they’re 1 either, opting to push it around and boing the antenna, when she gets more sturdy I reckon it would be good at the park, although she loves her scooter.Not supposed to but takes mine and eldest 13 yearl olds weight pretty well!!! Also looks lovely in my house!!
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!
What an amazing investment for my 2 children. Both used it from 1 year old & my little girl is still using it at 4 years old. Great for wooden floors- super speedy!! A worthwhile investment!!
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?
