Can anyone help me find a helicopter for a nearly 3 yo?

DS is about to get a new baby brother and will need a helicopter to distract him. It needs to have a winch for rescuing people.

The only one I've found so far is the Playmobil hospital one, which I know will be good (because all Playmobil is good) but is a bit pricey at c. £30 just for a new baby present.
I found a Fireman Sam one but that one didn't have a winch and it is essential.

Can anyone help? Thanks

Toys R Us have some in (sorry can't do links to it for some reason). DS is also coveting it.
There's also the Odd Bodz Emergency Superset odd bodz which DS has & loves. You can get it cheaper than on this site though

Get the playmobil one. It is fab and you will get value for money out of it in the long run (and when you shrink back to 6" you can ride in it yourself )

Thank you both.
If I do get the Playmobil one it will be for me, really.
DS doesn't have a lot of toys....

I The DC have two - a red rescue one and a yellow air sea rescue one. There are loads of bits of equipment too - drips, plaster casts, stretchers, life vests etc...

Look on ebay and amazon.

OMG that's perfect, well done you guys!
Don't know why I could only find the medical one when I looked before.

Lucky DS!
