Tester 1 gave the little Red Roadster 3 stars (14 month old child).

''I would say the age for use would need to be 18 months plus as a minimum. The toy was packaged well with colourful pictures on the outside. My son was keen to see what was inside. It came with clear instructions on how to put together though did require some reasonably lengthy assembly. Sebastian liked sitting on it but wasn't able to make it move unassisted. He did not show a huge amount of interest in it. None of the children were able to get on and off it themselves or ride alone. They were also unable to use the horn function. I think older children would love this ride-on, it looks great for indoor and outdoor play and if you could get it to move around it would be lots of fun. It is very well made and am sure would be extremely durable but is expensive and I would personally never spend that sort of money on a ride on toy especially not for Sebastian's age group.

Tester 2 2 year old son 2 stars out of 5

''Very bright packaging. More complicated to put together than the others, but the instructions were easy to follow and once we had located the tools we had it working in about 15 mins. The product is attractive and obviously built to last. It is a good height but probably a bit big for anyone younger than my 2 yr old daughter. Laurie might have enjoyed using this more in the summer when we could use it outside. I was reluctant to take it to the park with us at the moment because it was so heavy and I couldn't have carried it far. The use of this car is limited indoors (unless you have a big floor space or long corridors). I would be worried about leaving it out in the rain but it should stand up to weather, I just wouldn't want to risk such an expensive toy.

I think the other products in the Radio Flyer range like the bikes and trailers are better products, this feels as if it is too big and heavy for small children but bigger ones would prefer pedals or more excitement. My daughter hasn't particularly chosen this toy to play on but the boy next door loved it, but at 8 he lost interest after a while and didn't want to be seen out on it. I would probably recommend a ride on toy with wider appeal. Although it is expensive, I can see that it is a quality product and will last for generations, but I would buy another more useful product from this companies range. At this price you can get a bit more for your money and it is only a push along car.''

Tester 3 Children aged 4 years and 15 months -3 stars.

''The box looked very appealing before it was open and showed exactly what it contained. My girls were keen to get it open and assembled. It came with clear instructions but was a bit tricky to assemble and took a while. This can be expected though as it is a metal car with proper wheels and a lot of screws and bolts. It was not that easy to use as quite hard for children to turn indoors and fairly heavy to manoeuvre, but works well on a long straight passage. My children enjoyed playing with it but not as much as the other two items especially the Wheely bug. It was suitable for both children although I think my younger daughter enjoyed it more as we pushed her around while she sat on it. The girls played with it quite a lot but not as much as the other two items. I think this is suited to indoor and outdoor play but you need a long straight space to ride it on like a passage or driveway, as it is a bit difficult to steer. We have only used it indoors though. I don't think I would recommend it over the Wheelybug, if I was recommending a ride-on toy. It looks fantastic but is not as manoeuvrable as the other two items. I thought it was quite expensive but the price is in line with other toys of this type, so not unreasonable''

The large wheely bug

'' go backwards, forwards, sideways, round and round... they can be ridden, pushed, pulled, kissed and cuddled! These ride on bugs, great for both boys and girls, almost have a magical mind of their own. Wheelybugs are designed to offer hours of robust fun and help to promote self-confidence, spatial awareness and gross motor skills'' the testers reported the following:

Tester 1 from Lewes Sussex gave 5 stars ( child aged 2 and 16 years)

''The packaging was non branded, it was adequately wrapped with not too much plastic and the bubble wrap there was, was reusable. The wheelybug arrived fully assembled – it has no visible parts and is obviously robust. It is attractive and easy to use; it is rounded and low, with a big handle to hold on to.

It felt safe to leave my niece aged 9 months to explore it on her own. She loved the wobbly feelers and pushed it up and down from her seat. Very tactile and attractive toy that parents wouldn't mind lying around. Stylish and cool. My daughter loved it especially when we took it outside to test on the slope (dad managed to fit himself and her on and went for a ride down hill, this would probably be better on the larger size toys, but this smaller one took both their weights easily). My 16 yr old son then took up the challenge and 'skateboarded' on it. It stood up to this robust, all round testing and looked absolutely fine afterwards. Other than the wheels or the seams, I can't see how this toy could be damaged. I think this toy is value for money and could be used up to age 6, it is so well made and stands up to wear so well, I would buy it as a special present like a first birthday.

It is stylish, attractive and easy on the eye, definitely this parent's choice. Suitable from babies to children of 5 or 6 and has more longevity than the quickly outgrown and limited attraction of a 'character' toy. If my daughter hadn't been so taken up with Thomas she would have been very happy with this, she has been drawn to them at friends houses in the past. It is very much an indoor toy and although it is robust enough for a trip outside I wouldn't leave it in wet weather. I would recommend this as a good choice for a younger child, it is a lovely toy although it is not a traditional ride-on/push along, they are adorable''.

Tester 2 from Northamptonshire: 5 Stars; Children aged 4 years and 15 months.
''This item had minimal packaging (eco-friendly) - cardboard box with bubble wrap around the ladybug, but as it was a big box they were keen to open it, whatever it was and when they saw the bright colours of the Ladybug they were very excited as my daughter has wanted to try one out for a long time.

No assembly required but had a covering letter which advised how to use it and what is was made of. The Ladybug was very easy to use and works brilliantly on carpets and tiled floors. The best feature is the multi-directional castors which make it very easy to manoeuvre indoors where there are many obstacles.

My girls think this is fantastic and cannot seem to get enough of riding it. It is definitely one of the best toys we have ever had. My 4 year old loves to ride on it or push her little sister around on it. It is suitable for both of my girls - the 4 year old just whizzes around on it constantly and says it is like being on a roller coaster. Even though the large size is recommended for 2.5-5 yrs my 15 month old is easily able to sit on it and push herself around. There is a smaller size available for 1-3 yr old but I think that if your child is over 18 months it is better to buy the bigger one if you want it to last longer. My children cannot get enough of the Wheelybug. They think it is absolutely brilliant and ride on it as much as possible. It is better for indoor play as it works best on level surfaces.

I have only used indoors as I wanted to keep the castors clean for indoor use. Would definitely recommend this toy to other Mums as well as grandparents and godparents who want to buy a special gift for their children. It is visually appealing, well-made, durable, versatile and provided hours of fun. Even though it is quite expensive, it is well worth the money - if you compare the cost of all the poor quality toys you may have bought that are hardly even played with to the amount of use that you would potentially get out of this one.

Tester 3 Chelmsford (14 months Boy) Gave 2 stars out of 5
''The toy arrived in a brown cardboard box with only the Hippy Chick logo on the outside. My son was not overly keen to get it open. It did not require any sort of assemble but had no instructions on how to use. That said it is fairly self explanatory! It looked surprisingly easy to use but turned out not to be particularly easy for my son or his friends to use. They could not get on and off it alone, none of them wanted to spend any time sitting on it and they didn’t look overly comfortable on it either. Sebastian only really enjoyed playing with the spring antennae on the lady bird and not actually riding it. I thought it would be good due to it being very low off the ground, but none of the children were able to use it very well and really didn't enjoy being on it so never got the opportunity to fully test ride it! I think it is a well made, lovely looking toy with great manoeuvrability and would be a product you would think about buying so am glad I had the opportunity to test ride it as four children aged 14 months showed no interest in it. I would therefore not recommend to other mums for that age group, but would say in my opinion older children who could use it properly would like it more. Given the overall quality of the product, the price is fair. ''

The Wheely bug from Bouncy happy people is a fabulously popular ride on toy. This is a modern classic and as it is so robust is especially popular at pre-schools and play groups where they have more space for multiple riders to enjoy themselves.
