Fisher-Price Plastic Little Snoopy Pull Along H9447 & Plastic Chatter Telephone Activity Toy FGW66 for Age 1+

Product Information

Our three-year-old tester’s reaction to connecting trucks or trains is like a moth to a flame, and many little ones love transport toys like this great example from JoJo Maman Bebe. Suitable for 18-months plus, our tester loved moving her animal passengers around and pulling them along the floor to their next destination. The only pull-along we tested is battery operated (two AAA are required), and it’s amazing what a flashing light and funny noise can bring to the table, as both our testers happily pulled this around the house. Not only do they keep baby and children’s paraphernalia stylish, they also keep it sustainable, made from quality beech wood and plywood… in turn creating a sturdy, high-quality toy that’ll be treasured for generations. We gave extra points for sweet designs, after all they need to not only attract a young one but live in the house, too.

Suitable from 12-months, both of our mini testers enjoyed having this cute ladybug follow them about, and the clever yet simple body movement fascinated all parties. In fact, everything waddles because she’s made up of three separate wooden body parts: bum, back and a decoratively illustrated face, complete with horn.

It comes with spring loaded antennas which wobble as it moves, plus the two wheels have rubberised centres.

The wheels aren’t rubberised so there’s a bit of wood knocking as it’s pulled but it’s not offensive, plus the noise was mainly drowned out by our tester giggling away as she played.With funny rolling eyes, a dial which rings as its turned and a telephone attachment, our little testers were fascinated with this toy, before they even clocked it could be pulled along too. It tickled all of us watching Vilma the rhino wiggle her derriere as she was pulled along by our mini testers. Unlike some all-singing-all-dancing toys, to parents’ relief, the noise isn’t grating and the light is subtle. We didn’t find the wheels glided along the surface as well as some of the others we tested, and there was no rubberised section so it was a little noisier than the competition. There’s also a sweet little penguin which sits on top of the rhino’s back, which is attached by a spring meaning as this toy is pulled, it jiggles too.

We were delighted that there’s not too much DIY involved either, as you’ll only need to attach the handle.

There’s some shape sorting required as little ones line up which animal fits through the different holes, plus some simple matching as you pair the 16 passengers ready to board the boat. The good thing about Noah’s Ark is there’s two of everything, which is great when sharing doesn’t come naturally. We did find that Hubert didn’t perform quite so well on his hoofs – or wheels – mainly due to the lightweight wheels, therefore both our testers often dragged him along the floor, but that didn’t seem to affect their enjoyment. In true timeless style, the pull along market is dominated by wooden construction, which not only looks sweet in a little one’s clutches, but also means it’ll stand the test of time and can be passed down the generations. Suitable for those aged 12-months plus, our three-year-old tester loved seeing the characters topple overboard or fall over when pulled along with conviction.

Instantly gaining a friendly follower, these toys prompt self-confidence as young ones find pulling their toys behind them extremely rewarding.Designed for use on smooth surfaces, we kept play to a strictly indoor affair, testing the toys over the course of a week. Complete with long horns, a super soft coat and smiling face, the standout feature is that Hubert can be removed from the wooden wheels, presenting a truly huggable toy. Many standard pull along toys are suitable from 12-months, as many babies begin to find their feet and it’s a great way to encourage independent walking, but always be mindful to check age recommendations. This isn’t just a fantastic pull-along toy, there’s also a wonderful stacking element too, which is great for baby’s development. Lovingly made by Little Bird Told Me, a British brand known for its traditional rocking horses, there’s something fondly charming about this pull-along toy.
