thank you

ds1 has the small one & loves it, ds2 starting to get intrested in it also so think we'll be getting another soon! got ours from a local shop but try kiddicare i remember seeing them in there pretty cheap about a year back.

DD LOVES it!!

She got it as a present but think either amazon or ebay would be the cheapest.

We got ours from the Glasgow Pram Centre. We picked it up in person as we're local, but it was also the cheapest online at the time (Christmas past).

Ds loves it and it was a great buy.

thanks ladies someone else suggested a Scuttle bug - what do you think? I do like the look of ths wheely bugs though. she currently has a ride on bus thing (from BigW) and it has three musical buttons, and the seat bit lifts up, but it doesnt steer. Id love something like that, but which steers.

Maybe I should keep looking, but I do like the wheely bugs....

GPC only have the small ones anyway don't they?

We got dd's from here at Christmas. They really don't seem to ever be in the sales, so you could wait a long time if you hold on for that.

Scuttlebugs a totally different proposition. Fun, but nowhere near being a wheelybug.

I got two from kiddicare, they are great. I bought two to stop my ds's fighting over it. They love them!

Wolfgirl · 01/07/2008 12:21

This is def the way to go for my little girl then! thanks for your recommendations ladies.

We have a small and a large one which ds1 loves.I got both ours from an Ebay shop and found them to be alot cheaper than most places.

tassisssss · 01/07/2008 14:30

def worth going straight to the large size.

I tell you what is the most brilliant toy ever is the didicar - it is brilliant. adults can go on it as well. it self propells, so moves really easily.

my sister bought one for dd when she was 1..she got her the bigger one on the advice that the smaller one didn't seem to last them to long iykiwm...

Its like shit off a stick on our laminate floors ...you have been warned...!

DD, now 3 still loves it along with ds 16 months .

Wolfgirl · 01/07/2008 15:02

wow, so much choice

what would be a good all rounder for indoors and outdoors? from what I can see both the wheely bug and didcar dont do good on grass or carpet.

maybe the scuttlebug would be a bette choice, but now heck and darn it, Im stuck for piggin choice.

they all look so good!!!!!!!

the galt wooden trike is great for both indoors and out. it's been a huge hit with my 2 and ds who's now 5 still likes it (good from about 15 motnhs IMO)

We got our wheely bug from www.babyzoop.co.uk which was very cheap when I bought it compared to other sites. I think it was free delivery too.

Hulababy · 02/07/2008 20:23

I have recently bought one from here - smae link as CSWS. Was cheapest I could find it. Came within about 2-3 days, using the standard postage not express.

It looks great.

Wolfgirl · 02/07/2008 20:28
