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

Product Information

We gave extra points for sweet designs, after all they need to not only attract a young one but live in the house, too. 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 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.

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. Made from hardwearing beech and cherry wood, it’s been finished using gorgeous pastel water-based paints, which looks adorable in the rainbow formation.

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.With attention to detail, this doggie comes with a felt tongue and super soft ears, alongside a spring-loaded tail. A clever design, sturdy wooden construction, and complete with bobbing head made it a worthy winner for us. Suitable for 18-months plus, our tester loved moving her animal passengers around and pulling them along the floor to their next destination.

Fun additional features such as bobbing body parts or multifunctional elements were well regarded, and we appreciated rubberised wheels for noise limitation. We love the bright design, and were pleased to discover that the decorated wheels are designed to be silent thanks to the rubberised centre. This pull-along toy from French toymaker Vilac is barking with retro charm, and was an instant hit with our dog-loving duo of testers. 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 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.Priding itself on the brand’s eco approach it exclusively uses sustainably sourced materials, repurposed wood and ethical production methods, creating carbon-neutral toys. The good thing about Noah’s Ark is there’s two of everything, which is great when sharing doesn’t come naturally. 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 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. A big, fat check; there are seven animal figures including a giraffe, tiger, zebra, rhino, monkey, elephant and lion.

We looked at how captivated our mini testers were and how long the toy in question held their attention, and whether they went back for more. Instantly gaining a friendly follower, these toys prompt self-confidence as young ones find pulling their toys behind them extremely rewarding. Suitable for those aged 12-months plus, there’s something wonderfully friendly about this toy, which attracts children of all ages. We were delighted that there’s not too much DIY involved either, as you’ll only need to attach the handle. 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.

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. 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.
