For every Wheel bug sold between now & Christmas 2012 we will donate a percentage of the proceeds to our Charity of the Year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK. For more information, please visit our Charities page Wheel bugs go backwards, forwards, sideways, round & round. They can be ridden, pushed, pulled, kissed & cuddled! These ride on bugs, great for both boys & girls, almost have a magical mind of their own. Wheel bugs are designed to offer hours of robust fun & help to promote self-confidence, spatial awareness & gross motor skills. The distinctive shape of the Wheel bug is very user friendly. The bright designs are an instant attraction to girls & boys alike. They go backwards, forwards, sideways, & round & round. Children dont get stuck against obstacles like some other ride on toys. Wheel bugs help promote gross motor skills & balance like no other toy. Wheel bug bodies have a padded layer of sponge which is covered with a tough layer of polyurethane leatheroid & can be easily wiped clean. They are great to use on smooth level floors & ideal for indoors. Large: 47.5 cm. long x 33 cm high x 28.5 cm. wide (Age: 2.5 5 years) Frequently Asked Questions Have they been safety tested? Wheel bugs have been certified tested to EU, US, AU/NZ & JP standards. How much can it carry, can I sit on it? The maximum recommended rider weight is 25 kg.; however each wheel is rated at 30 kg. giving a total safe working load of 120 kg.!! Adults can happily take a spin on them, or they make a very handy low mobile stool! Can they be used outside? Any smooth, flat surface is suitable. However keep them away from dirt or sand as this can get into the castors & slow them down. Also do not leave the toy outside in the rain or direct sunshine for long periods as this can damage the surfaces. Can they be used on pavements? They will run on pavements but the castors may become damaged in time. Dont worry, replacements can be purchased from us. Will they run on carpet? Obviously it is slower going on carpet, but your child will get a good work out!
