3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed., August 14, 2006

I was excited to find this duck because of the bird's attractive appearance and the concept of flapping, clacking wings. My 1 1/2-year-old son enjoys my old push toys, and I thought a new push toy would be a welcome addition to our familty. When the beautiful duck arrived, I couldn't wait to remove the packaging.

Unfortunately, the toy's design is a disappointment. It takes real effort to get the wheels to flip through the mechanism so the wings flap; if you don't push really hard, the wheels just stay put--particularly on carpet, since the carpet gives before the wheels do! Also, the balance is questionable; for the toy to stay upright when not in use, it pretty much has to be propped against something. Otherwise, the weight of the handle pulls the duck down. I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE to stand the toy upright on its own, but kids who like things to be neat will probably meet with frustration if they try to stand the duck up without assistance.

I'm not planning to return our duck or the one we ordered for our nephew (they're just too cute), but I wouldn't have bought them if I'd tried them out in a store first.

Back to basic! Yet another high quality, well constructed solid Melissa & Doug creation. My 18 month old adores it. Contrary to some feedback, this toy is easy to maneuver. No annoying noises, battery free - simplicity at its best!

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Flapping Duck Push Toy (Toy)

My son received this as a gift for his first birthday. He was very excited to hold and push the duck as he walked around, however, that excitement is long gone. There is a lot of resistance in the wheels which makes it difficult to push. I push the duck and my son smiles as it flaps its wings. Perhaps when he's is a bit older he'll be able to push the duck on his own. Until then, the duck just sits in the corner. On a positive note, the toy is well-made and is of the highest quality.
