Wheely Bug

Home>Wheely Bug

The distinctive shape of the Original Wheely Bug is very user friendly and the bright and friendly design is an instant attraction to girls and boys alike. Children don't get stuck against obstacles like some other ride on toys and can go backwards, forwards, sideways, and round and round! Wheely Bugs help promote gross motor skills and balance like no other toy.

Wheely Bug is great to use on smooth level floors and ideal for indoors. Their bodies have a padded layer of sponge which is covered with a tough layer of polyurethane leatheroid and can be easily wiped clean.

The base is made from plantation grown poplar plywood and has distinctive rounded contours. The feelers are made with stainless steel spring and have an internal limiter cord to resist pull out. The handle is aluminium so it won't rust... all in all Wheely Bugs are constructed for years of fun; and can become heirloom.

The Concept Behind Wheely Bug

Do's and Don'ts

Children should only use the toy under adult supervision.
For use only by children able to walk unassisted. Should not be used as an aid or support for walking
Ride on toys can tip over on surfaces that are not flat. The toy should be used only on smooth, level, dry surfaces.
Do not allow children to use on or near hills, inclines, steps, bridges or near a swimming pool or other body of water.
Shoes must be worn at all times.
Only one rider at a time. Multiple riders can cause tipping over
Do not allow a child to stand on the seat. The Wheely Bug should be ridden with both feet on the ground.
It is important to check that the handle and wheel bolts are tight before using the toy. A loose or detached handle or wheel can make the toy unstable.
Maximum rider weight recommended is 25kg or 50lbs.
Clean with soap and water. Never use polishes, abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Strong solvents eg acetone, can damage the surface. Exposure to sunlight for long periods can result in colour fading. Don't leave out in the open. Keep sharp points away from the covering.
Unique concept will increase gross motor skills which are the very foundation for all future mental and physical development.
