Help me find a toy for Will please!

[fickleflamingo]

I'm looking for a vehicle that is powered and will run in a circle. Preferably something he can mess with and it will keep moving. It needs to be suitable for little fingers and won't pinch.

He is obsessed with cars and trains that move automatically. He has this fisher price remote control car that is powered by a rattle. It is very touchy and won't run unless it's on the perfect surface. He just yells constantly because it's not going and I have to intervene. Plus it runs in a straight line so I just have to sit there forever turning it around.

Any ideas?? I've been searching Amazon. I want something he can use more independently. Remember, he is not as advanced as your kiddos. But he sure is cute.

I'm always excited when you chime in with a will update! I don't have any suggestions though. Sorry.

[fickleflamingo]

I can give you an update!! He turns 1 on Thursday. AND he started pulling up a couple weeks ago. He's not stepping yet or anything, but he really surprised us with the pulling up. We had to rush and drop the crib.

How about a roomba?!

I am staying at my mom's right now and she has one (that she doesn't use). At first, T was scared of it when she would accidentally start it. Then I started turning it on because she would just stare for a long time and now tonight she kept following it around. It bumped into her and would just go off in another direction.

Ha! I had another friend tell me the exact same thing. When I'm getting dressed in the morning, he spends the whole time turning my hairdryer on. Who needs toys?

Lincoln is currently playing with a Prilosec bottle filled with rice. Very easy to please haha.

JJ has the same rattle car too, i hate that it stops when it hits the rug from the hardwood. The dog runs into the other rooms and starts barking when he is using it too. All little boys love cars no matter what stage their at, good luck on the hunt!

I wish I had an idea but I love hearing an update!

I don't know if Will would quite be into it, but DS1 had this and loved it.

Otherwise I know there's an orange vtech cat that moves around but I'm not sure how it works.

Good luck and happy early birthday Will! .

I have a v-tech ball that moves by itself. It doesn't go in circles, but it doesn't do lines either. It generally stays in one area. It has buttons to press too.

[bennieangel]

kewii, we have the same vtech ball.... I think it's totally creepy! HAHA. Lo seems to like it. Though he doesn't get the "gently" part of the roll roll roll the ball song. He picks it up & tries to bounce it like his other balls.

[kewii]

ahahah. Layla has picked it up, but never actually tried to throw it. It drives me a little insane. I wish it had an option for no sound.

T is obsessed with throwing balls. It's his favorite game . It's funny because i thought I would love this, and it was on my wish list for him (which is why my mom got it for him for christmas) but it's probably my least favorite of his toys. And I feel bad because i know my mom was excited to give it to him! So I always pull it out & make sure he's playing with it when she's coming over...or send her pics of him playing with it.

T has the most annoying laughing dog from Cracker Barrel. She absolutely loves it, but it is loud! It has a curved hard tail and that is what makes it do "log rolls" of sorts and laugh. It stays in about 2-3 ft from where you initially put it, just rolling back and forth and laughing. I think Will would love it!

This link isn't the exact dog, but it looks so much like T's.

If you are on FB, I can send you a video of ours. T just grabs it by the tail now and walks around with it rolling and laughing.

Tried to find the dog one at Cracker Barrel but I couldn't. Here is the sock puppet version. But again, it just rolls within a few feet, never gets too far from where you originally put it down.

J just got this one from his grandparents. You can bend the body so that it will walk in a circle. To make it go you tap it.

We have it to and I totally agree!! It's creepy and scares the crap out of the dogs!!!

[lazyreader]

Lol my first thought was the cat toys that are a ring with a ball inside the ring. And then you flick the ball and it spins around and around.

Jamie really enjoys poker chips in an old plastic tub.

[zandeela]

This is one of Caitlynn's favorite toys
Buggie

there is a video of her playing with it on the brag thread

Matty got the vtech train for Christmas from my best friend. It can go on its own or can be pushed by the baby.
