Wonderful concept.. but some drawbacks:
There is a picture (a pretty big picture) of a duck on the mat.. but no duck on the steering wheel! Why!? My daughter absolutely loves ducks.. so that doesnt make any sense to me.
There is a green thing that attaches to the car seat to keep the steering wheel handy.. so it can be easily accessible for your toddler.. however, my daughter got so frustrated when she couldnt get the steering wheel where she wanted it! The little green thing is short and doesnt allow you to have that much mobility with it, so my daughter was easily upset when she couldnt get the steering wheel where she wanted it.
It is loud. There is no volume control, so this is not recommended for parents who dont like loud toys.
I think this is a good concept, but the toy could use some work to make it more entertaining for the child.. so I gave this toy 3 stars.I wasn't sure whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. I think it would get 3 1/2 if that were an option. Some people may think it is absolutely useless and some may find it to be a lifesaver. My daughter is 15 months and just like a toddler she loves it some days and is indifferent to it others. It has helped get her (and me) through a number of short and long car trips. Now that she is more interested in animals and animal sounds she can be a little more interactive with it. If you are a parent who is easily annoyed by toys with sound, I would not recommend this product...it could drive you nuts in the car.
Buy Tiny Love Wonder Wheel Now
This is fantastic for on my grandson's car seat. There is no problem getting him in and out, plus he just loves it. The sounds are a good level as he plays with it. There is no interruption of conversation it is not annoying as some can be. All the parts are soft in case of an accident there it little chance that it would cause him hurt or damage to anything. I highly recommend the Tiny Love Wonder WheelI'm at an impass with this toy. I like it and my children (16mos and 3) seem to like it, but it doesn't live up to the potential. The pluses are as follows: the animal sounds and song are very cute and not obnoxious or annoying. The colors are vibrant and the lights are somewhat captivating. The downfall of this toy, which is so dissapointing to me, is the failed potential. The 'idea' is creative and would seem unique but it falls shortvery short. For a very small child this might be fun but the toy is for forward facing carseated children. My 16 month-old is waaaay beyond the learning aspects this toy is suposed to capture. You press the sheep the sheep lights up and says baa. You press the dog and the dog lights up and says woofand so-on and so-on. It only plays one song that seems to go on forever. Basic is the perfect word to describe this toy. After you've pressed the four animal buttons and one song button the magic is gone and it becomes boring very fast. There is a horse pictured on the toy but there is no corresponding button to make it neigh. I've given this toy three stars for the quick-ride entertainment value. If you want something for a long ride look elsewhere. If you want something educational this misses the mark.I like this item overall, except that there is a duck on the board but no duck to press on the wheel, and my daughter loves ducks! Also, it works well, except when I have someone sitting in the passenger seat in front of my daughter. The seat gets pushed back and her feet touch the mat and kick it out of position. Otherwise, the music is good and won't stay in your head even after you leave the car... :-)
