My fifteen month old enjoys the toy (especially the realistic sound effects). However, he gets frustrated when he pulls the leash and Digger sometimes flips over to the side. He still tries to drag it. I believe this is a result of the toy not being not quite heavy enough. I still would recommend it; However, it needs a ring at the top of the leash so that it can be more easily grasped.

Our youngest son, at 9 months of age, got this as a Christmas present. We also have 2 live dogs, but this one HE can actually "walk." We have been happy with his interest in the toy so much so that we are buying one for my husband's boss's youngest boy for his first birthday. We haven't had significant problems with the toy flipping - just be aware that the wheels don't swivel so you can't expect it to have a terrific turning radius. Our son doesn't get frustrated with it and our dogs don't bother the toy either (since it does bark). We've rated it very highly because it is one of his favorite toys, and has been for 6 months now - and we haven't had to change the batteries yet either.

My son got this toy when he was about 18 months. He is two years old now, and he really loves Digger. However, he doesn't play with digger for long. We have wall-to-wall carpeting upstairs and ceramic tile floors downstairs, neither of which are very compatible with Digger. Unless you pull him in a relatively straight line, he tips over easily. My son gets frustrated after a while and will stop playing with it. He does give it a chance often, as he loves being able to have a 'dog'. This toy is durable and cute and wouldn't tip over so easily if the wheels were a little further apart and/or if it were a little heavier. The string could be a little easier to grasp, to me, but my son doesn't seem to mind. It is a cute, fun toy, especially if your child isn't easily frustrated.

My kids are all drawn to this toy and love the idea of "walking" the dog. But it doesn't stay up when you pull it, so it drags on the side and is all scratched up. Did playskool ever even try this out??? They get frustrated. It's in the trash pile, wouldn't want to even donate.

This dog is nothing like the original. I had a digger the dog over 20 years ago and that is why I wanted this for my son. The one I had was big enough to pull over, through and around anything! This one is so little and light it, plus the pull string is on the top/middle, so when it is pulled by a one year old it just topples over, even if he pulls it on a hard smooth surface. The only enjoyment he gets out of it is by pulling the string to get it to make the noises.
