1st birthday - Wheelybug? Poll added.

I have never had one but remember everyone raving about them when Louis was little. Would you recommend them? Do you have one? How much use did your kids get from them? If we do get one would you say small or large model? Can they use it as a push along walker (the handle kind of looks like you can!)? Are they only for indoor use?

@emmavmorgan did I see you post a pic of a very battered one a while ago?

Just answered one question - the small is for age 1-3 and large is for 3+! Can't think of many other toys they can get a full 2 years out of at this stage and I think it would be ace on the tiles!

@clothmama I don't think they came in sizes when we bought Sam's. It still gets used now :hohoho: and his feet just touched the floor when he was 1. He didn't actually use it much until he started crawling at 17 months he did however take great pleasure in boinging the antenna :roll:

Wow that really is long use! Rémy already walking and loves holding on to things so I thought this would be a good way of getting a walker and rider in one that will last a long time! I can't decide what one to get as I like the pig but it doesn't have antennas :evil:

What size did you get?

I'm wondering if the 2 size thing is just to get you to buy 2 and that actually the big one would be OK :-?

How long did Ewan use it? Did it last beyond 3?

He still gets on it 6 :hohoho: Think knees around ears!
It lasted to about three, though he lost interest before he outgrew it completely. My two are quite short too - when Ewan tried a large one at about 2.5 it was clear he'd never have managed one that size at 1.
