Suitable from 12 months, made from 100% FSC-certified wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🚶 Walking is the activity, the car is the excuse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew walkers need a reason to cross the room, and something trundling along behind them is a very good one. Pulling a toy while walking is harder than it looks: it means holding the cord, moving forward, and glancing back to check on the car, all at once. That combination is why pull-alongs have been in toy boxes for a hundred years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🐻 The bear is the second toy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe lifts out and drops back into his seat, which turns one toy into two. Taking something out and putting it back is a genuine milestone at this age — it needs a pincer grip, a bit of aim and the patience to line him up — and it means the car still gets played with sitting down, on days when walking isn't the mood. He is also, inevitably, the bit that gets carried round the house on his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e👀 Looking back, and learning where things are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeedy Monkey talk about trajectory perception and space exploration, which in plain English means this: your little one learns that the car goes where they go, arrives a moment after they do, and gets stuck on the door frame if they turn too sharply. Working all that out is real spatial learning, and it happens without anyone teaching it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🤲 Small, light and easy to take with you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 15.2 x 13.5 x 5.7cm and around 235g it fits in a changing bag and can be carried upstairs by the person who owns it. It's the pull-along to keep at a grandparent's house, or to take on a visit, rather than the big wooden animal that lives in the hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌳 FSC wood and non-toxic paint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from 100% FSC-certified wood with bright, non-toxic, child-safe paints and a sturdy build that survives being dragged into skirting boards.

As with any toy on a cord, it's one for supervised play on the floor, and it shouldn't go in a cot or anywhere your little one sleeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the bear be lost?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe can, because he lifts out — that's the point of him. He's a chunky wooden piece rather than a fiddly one, but if loose pieces disappear in your house, it's worth knowing there's one here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat age is it for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 12 months, and it comes into its own the week they start walking confidently. Before that it's a car to push about on the floor while sitting, with a bear to take in and out, which is no bad thing either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15cm long and about 235g — a one-handed car rather than a big floor toy. Worth picturing next to a mug before you order, because photographs of wooden toys are notoriously flattering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it mark the floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWooden wheels on hard floors are noisy rather than damaging, but as with any wooden pull-along, grit caught in a wheel is what causes scratches.
