My son received this toy as a gift for his birthday. I am very impressed with how sturdy it is! He has taken this toy up and down the steps (all 13 of them) many times, and you would never know it, because the toy shows no signs of wear. He is fascinated with the moving mouth, and loves dragging it behind him all over the house. This toy reminds me of one I had as a child; it's nice to see that there's a company that still makes sturdy, classic toys that are reasonably priced.

My little one loves to pull her hippo all around the house. It's crafted very nicely... as are most Melissa & Doug wooden toys. I like that it's a classic wooden toy, a nice change from so many of her plastic, bells-and-whistle type toys. Even though she was able to walk around for awhile, she didn't really start to enjoy the toy for several months after walking/running. My only complaint is that the gadget/wheel that creates the open-and-shut mouth motion often falls off alignment. I have to manually realign the wheel to get it to open and shut again. Not a huge deal, but still somewhat inconvenient being its only "main" feature. I've also seen this toy in the frog version... which is also really cute.

After multiple children, the toy is still as cute as it was when originally purchased and ready to be passed on to our 11month old daughter. It has been thrown against walls, taken down stairs, running with a toddler, yet still works and has never had to be fixed. What can i say, its tons of fun and works great. Plus it survived this long.

That is exactly why we started buying only wood toys for our children--> plastic ones break to easily and its hard to fix them. Wood toys can easily be fixed and can be handed down generations to come. Plus they are hand made and parents can admire the craftsmanship.

It is a nice toy, very durabale. It is a high quality as well. My son liked it for some time, but then got bored from it.

My grandaughter loves this toy but there was a problem with the length of the pull rope. The rope was very long and as she played with it her parents noticed that the rope did go around her neck. The rope was shortened no problem. I would recomend this toy but with instructions to shorten the rope.

This is a very cute pull toy. LOVE it. however, the picture shows a purple hippo and it's actually blue. It's not a big deal to us, but some might like to know the true color. Very cute, very durable, adorable! The baby loves it!

jaw opens up and down when pulled--adorable. ideal for ages 2 1/2 to 4. solid wood with vinyl ears and tail. this toy is a bit bigger and heavier than you might imagine from the photo. the body is 10" long and 4" tall. could do some damage if thrown at someone. very well made like all Melissa & Doug toys.

Pull toys seem like they are a dime a dozen, but this one is GREAT!! 18month-old LOVES it and has loved it from the minute she opened the present. No Plastic sounds, no batteries, just good old-fashioned FUN!
