Easy-to-Ride Toy Encourages Active Time

The award-winning Wheely Bug offers a fun, entertaining way to encourage gross motor skills and foster active time. Designed with multidirectional casters and an easy-to-grip handle, children can move and spin using their legs or hop on board for a ride. By providing unlimited mobility and the ability to maneuver around obstacles, the Wheely Bug grows naturally with your child's physical development and will continue to engage for years.

Ideal for indoor use on smooth floors, you'll appreciate that the durable caster wheels glide quietly. The small Wheely Bug measures 8-3/4 by 9 by 15 inches (H x W x D) while the large Wheely Bug measures 18-1/2 by 11 by 10-1/2 inches (H x W x D). The convenient height makes it easy for children to climb on and off on their own.

Colorful Design Appeals to Kids

Children will be instantly attracted to the bright yet simple design of the Wheely Bug. Available in six different styles, including a ladybug, cow, tiger, mouse, bee, or pig, each Wheely Bug offers a distinctive and fun ride.

Padded Seat and Smooth Corners for Comfort

For a comfortable seat, the ride-on toy features a 1-inch, comfy sponge layer underneath the soft, durable polyurethane exterior. The leather-like surface is moisture resistant and wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. The contoured wooden base is designed with smooth, rounded corners for safety.

Made from Durable, High-Quality Materials

The Wheely Bug is made from non-toxic materials and is PVC free. The durable base is constructed with renewable plantation timber, so it's kinder to the earth. Originally researched and designed for use in childcare centers, the ride-on toy is tough, durable, and built to last.

This toy meets standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM 963), European Committee for Standardization (CE EN71), and other international safety requirements. The Wheely Bug is backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Large vs. Small, February 13, 2008
I'm reviewing this just for those of you who might be confused by the large vs. small models. My 2 year old son is pretty small for his age - maybe 25 pounds, maybe 34 inches. He's tiny. So when I saw that the "large" wheely bug is supposedly for 3 years old and up I figured my tiny guy would certainly need the small. Still, I hated to buy the wrong size and then have to ship it back. So I found a store in town that offers wheely bugs and went there to physically have my son try them out. Am I glad I did! The small is so tiny that I cannot imagine it being appropriate for any child. If your child is so small as to need the small version, chances are he or she should not be riding it. Remember, these things do not have seat belts or other safety features. It's a fast-moving ride-on, on chair casters. The small model looks suitable for a stuffed doll, perhaps. My son fits on the large version with no problem. His feet hit the floor flat. He can climb on and off with no difficulty. Also,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Works for us, but be careful to choose the right size!!!, January 21, 2009

After reviewing the dozens of suggestions that I purchase large to avoid tears and short lived use of the bug, I feel that I should set the story straight for parents looking for the right size "ride on" toy for their child. My daughter received this bug when she was 17 months old and in the 90th percentile for height. I believed that, surely, my daughter could ride with ease after the other parents had described how unreasonably tiny the small was. Unfortunately, her feet do not rest flat on the floor and she is unable to ride the bug effectively. Since her feet do not set flat and the handle bar is fairly low, she simply scoots off the back of the bug and pushes it through the house.

She does LOVE the Wheely Bug, as do I, but I did want to clear up any confusion. The large sized bug should be purchased for 3+ year old children and the small sized bug for younger toddlers to make riding the toy possible. Now, there might be exceptions and my daughter is by no means a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of wheely fun, June 27, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug, Ladybug, Small (Baby Product)
We got this for my daughter's first birthday, and it has been her favorite present. She is a very active child, and loves pushing it around the living room. She is a little small to ride on it yet (her legs don't touch the floor solidly enough), but she seems very content to push it every which way. She loves that it will go any direction she wants without having to use a steering wheel (a result of the castor type wheels). She is also fascinated by the antennae, which bounce around when she bops them. It is also very durable, and the leather covering is well stitched and very strong. I'm sure this toy will last for a long time. It's also nice that it seems to work on just about every surface we've tried (carpet, hard wood floors, deck and reed outdoor carpet). **Update** 4/3/2010 - Our "bug" is now 3 years old and continues to be a favorite toy for both my daughter and her friends. She can still ride it (at almost 4 years old), and it still looks brand new. This is a really... Read more
