My son recieved this toy for his 1st Birthday and he LOVES it! He walks all over the house, pulling it along behind him. There's nothing cuter than saying, "Walk your Froggy!" and seeing him run after it and walking his frog! This has proven to be his favorite birthday present, and it's such a high quality toy, I can definitely see passing it down to future siblings! =)
One thing to watch though, the pull string is a bit too long, he has already wrapped it all the way arond his neck twice! That can easily be fixed by trimming it down and knotting the end if needed.

This product is just as cute as can be.
Our 16mos old took to it immediately after
being shown how to pull with the cord.

The frog has a nice 'wobble' when it moves-
simulating an up-and-down motion of a hopping
frog moving. It's amusing.

This toy is made of wood. The wood is not a
sturdy grade; nor of heavy components. The
edges mar easily as it is cut at 90 degrees and
not bevelled. e.g. The little one pulls
the frog into a dining room chair leg.

My biggest dissappointment is with the paint.
The green color is just the perfect hue! It
is the durability which I found to be lacking.
Perhaps I had the wrong expectation that this toy
was ok for outside play on the driveway
and sidewalks.

Our little girl LOVES to walk outside. So, Daddy
and daughter walk up and down the block,
while 'walking' the frog.
The blue on the flat of the wheels almost totally
wore off after just two outings. Pitting is also
noted now on the flat part of the wheels. (and
we live in a brand-new finished subdivision)

Stability is another issue with this item. It
constantly tips over and the rear legs need to be
're-alligned.' (real simple- just pushing all the parts
back toward the torso and aligning again.) Our little
one also has difficulty when the pull chord gets all
tangled up with the front and rear wheels/legs.

The front wheels are fixed in direction and the square
edging of the wheels make for great forward movement;
however if your little one turns direction the wheels
catch and the frog tips over.

Overall impression: very cute, makes darling grandparent
photos. Expect fast paint and body wear. Not a heavy
quality wood toy. Great on wood floors, so-so on carpet.

A toy that reminds me of those prized by European parents, this toy and I suspect other toys from this company are among those the family will want to pass on to other members or save for future generations. It's well-made, durable, safe, non-toxic, colorful, and moves in a way that encourages one to try to figure out how it is able to do so.

Gave this as a gift for a one year old. I helped her open the package and the first eyeball fell off. Upon removing the item from the box, the second eyeball fell off. The one-year-old promptly put the eyeballs in her mouth. Maybe we got a bad item, but I was highly disappointed.

Length:: 0:33 Mins

A small shard of wood broke off of the frog's base after being dropped on the rug.

The frog legs seem to hop as the wheels turn and children love it. It works smoothly and looks very cute. I highly recommend this pull-behind toy.

The pull frog is very well made and appeals to my 11 month grandson even though he's not ready to walk and pull it. He loves wheels and examines them and pushes and pulls the frog around from a sitting position. As his walking improves he will definitely enjoy it as a pull toy. Wooden toys are making a come back and we were very satisfied with the quality of this toy.

This toy was one we bought for our daughter when she first started walking. It quickly became her absolute favorite toy. It went with us on vacation. It went outside, and came inside. It even ended up in some professional photos we had done a few months later!

During the summer, the frog made it's way into our little wading pool and, unfortunately, ended up being in there for quite some time. But, believe it or not, he's still in great shape, though the string is more the draw at this point (like to play with the kittens with it).

This toy is certainly worthwhile, and a lot of fun to watch as little ones continually look behind them to make sure Mr. Frog is still following. He's well-made, and holds up to little ones quite well. Certainly a top toy in our house!

My daughter is 15 months old and loves pulling around things so this toy is perfect for her. She thinks its funny that a frog is following her around. It's well made, safe and a fun toy.

Totally disappointed in this toy for my toddler grandson. Purchased as a Christmas gift, and the paint on the eyes immediately started chipping off! There appeared to be no primer under the paint. Would NOT recommend this toy.
