After a fraught Christmas and numerous birthdays we now approach new toys with some trepidation. What will we need to get the toy out of the box while the impatient child stands at our side, desperate to play with their new gift? We arm ourselves with screwdrivers, scissors and knives to tackle the job. Will we need one or the other – or all of them?

No need for that with Hape Bug About. I opened the box quite easily, and took out the toy. I had expected to need at least a screwdriver and Allen key or two but what joy to be able to take it straight from the box and have it ready for play.

The Hape Bug About is mostly made from wood with a bright red removable fabric seat.

Little ones hold on to the antennae and push along with steady feet. Great fun for budding adventurers and there is space in the buggy belly for a child’s precious treasures, those teddies and books that must be taken everywhere.

The Bug About is easy to wipe down and clean, easy to store.

As will all Hape products it is made with a commitment to sustainability and  compliant with international safety and quality standards.

Recommended for ages 12 months and up.
