Are The Wheely Bug Ride On Toys Worth Buying?

There has been some debate over how to choose the correct size for this product, which comes in large and small.

The manufacturer recommends the larger size for children aged 3 or above, though some parents find the large suitable for even younger children.

Other parents have argued that the small is a lot more manoeuvrable, making the toy more fun to play with, and still supporting their child as they grow.

Although it depends on your child, the general consensus remains to stick with the manufacturer's recommendation.

As for riding on the toy, make sure that you have a suitable surface available for your child to play on.

This means smooth wooden or marble floors rather than carpet.

It won't really work or gain any speed unless the surface is very smooth.


When it is, though, it's great fun and zips around very quickly without the need for a steering wheel - just make sure to keep an eye on your child as there aren't really any safety features.

The Wheely Bug ride on toys are very simple, without any music or extra elements such as lights, noises, buttons and so on. This doesn't make them any less fun to play with, but it does make it feel a bit more expensive than some of the other ride on toys on the market.

Thankfully it's worth spending the extra money in terms of how durable and well made the Wheely Bug products are. Many happy parents have reported the toys lasting for years, being used by younger siblings and friends, too.

They're also designed with safety in mind, using a sturdy wooden base with rounded corners.

All in all, if you're looking for something a little more durable than your standard plastic toy, the Wheely Bug range is an excellent choice. They may not have all the bells and whistles that electronic ride on toys have, but they can keep kids entertained for hours, and will be played with for many, many years.
