Customer Review: Difficult to Maneuver
This is a beautiful toy w/quality construction. However, it is a toddler toy. My toddler, who is a very coordinated and efficient walker can never manage the right angle to activate the “flapping” feature on this toy. It’s becoming a source of great frustration to him because he knows from my demonstrations what it is capable of, but is unable to accomplish it himself. I think by the time he’s old enough to get the right angle consistently, the novelty of pushing toys will have worn off.
Customer Review: Cute but Awkward
This is a beautifully made, old fashioned looking toy … unfortunately, it’s just not that easy to play with; as another reviewer noted, the wheels are very stiff, and it doesn’t push easily. My son carried it around infrequently after we got it, but now it really just sits in the corner. It was a great prop for some portraits, though!
