 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, be aware that this really only rolls well on hardwood floors or other smooth, flat surfaces. It's tough to roll on carpet of any sort - even area rugs. Would work well on a smooth, flat driveway or in an unfinished basement. So please do not hesitate to purchase the large model, unless your child is very young or very, very tiny (maybe shouldn't be on this toy, in that case), and do be sure you have someplace where your child can have fun riding it.
Lots of wheely fun June 27, 2007

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 excellent poduct.

My 22 month old daughter seems to enjoy this toy. She scoots around the house on it a lot. It is a great, smooth ride on wood floors and she is able to go in all directions easily. However, when she hits a rug or carpet, the toy tips over or won't move much at all. I would recommend it if there is plenty of flat floor space available. It seems to be well made and durable.
BEST TOY EVER for 12 months-5 years November 12, 2007

I purchased my daughter the wheely bug when she was 3, and she loved it so much I had to get the smaller version of the wheely bee for my 1yo son... it was hard for him at first, but now at 18 months he and his big sister ride around the house all...day... long. This thing is something I will keep to pass down to my grandchildren. They absolutely are heirloom quality. I just can't imagine having a plastic junky ride on toy when this is available. It is absolutely the best.

I read the reviews before purchasing this item and was leaning towards the large wheely bug because of what another customer wrote. However, I'm glad I saw a picture someone posted of their 11 month old son on the small wheely bug because that ultimately gave me the best information about scale.
My daughter got this when she was 9 months old. She is a shorty at 27", and the small fit her perfectly. She has great balance and loves ride on toys. The comment about a baby small enough to fit the small wheely bug is probably too small for the toy is nonsense. It depends on your child. My daughter absolutely loves this toy.
