Christmas Baby Toys.. pull-alongs

Once your toddler is on his feet he’ll want the world to move with him! Pull-along toys change the landscape from cuddly toys and play mats to the excitement of discovery with a new friend in motion. He might not be old enough to look after his own pet yet, but your child can take his pull-along with him wherever he goes.

Before your child is a confident walker, play drawing back the toy and letting your child pull it towards him. Choose ones that click-clack or roll their eyes as they move along for added delight.
