I love anything I can ride on. Anything I tell you. I’m very adventurous and think that I may need a name change. Madison just seems boring, I need a new name. Any ideas? When Prince Lionheart decided to send me their Wheely Bug to review I was super excited and couldn’t wait for it to get to me. They actually gave me a choice of the size I wanted since the Wheely Bug comes in two distinct size. Small measures 15″ L x 9″ W x 8 3/4″ H and is perfect for ages 18m+ and Large which measure 18 1/2″ L x 11″ W x 10 1/2″ H and is great for ages 3yrs+.
Well I’m pretty tall for my age so mommy and I decided to go with the size Large and we were happy that we did. I am now 20 months old but I am also 35″ tall and I weigh approximately 26lbs. If you’re thinking about getting yourself a Wheely Bug for your toddler you may want to pay attention to that.
The Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug already comes set up so it’s ready to ride. There is nothing worse than waiting for a toy to be put together while you sit patiently and wait. I hate waiting and I’m sure all my little friends does as well. The body of the Wheely Bug is pretty soft so my bum is nicely cushioned since the Wheely Bug is padded with a 1″ layer of sponge. It is made of a very tough Polyurethane covering so it’s very easy to clean. Although I’m not sure since I’ve become a really great artist if markers would be easily removed.
The base is made of wood and this rolls around on coaster wheels and goes in all directions. It goes backwards, forwards, sideways, you name it! You would think that it would be an issue riding it on carpet right? Well you’re wrong! It works pretty well on a carpeted floor. I was able to ride it around my room where I was having fun until the party pooper mommy decided that it was time for dinner. It works even better in our kitchen where there’s no carpet. I was able to zoom around there with no worries at all.
Now this is entirely non-toxic according to Prince Lionheart and contains no PVC. They are also pretty light. My large weighs 5lbs while the small weighs 4lbs. The greatest thing about this as well is that they can hold up to 50lbs. I am going to be riding this for a long time to come. It is now my favorite indoor toy. It really encourages my gross motor skills which I already have lots of and it sure is a lot of fun.
Mommy did a very short video showing you how easy it works on carpeted floors. Ignore my silly noises.
Now your hardest decision would be choosing which Wheely Bug you want your little one to ride. They are a must have for any little one this Christmas and we recommend getting one to go under your tree. Your little one will thank you!
