We shortlisted Brio's Toddler Wobbler for Peanut's birthday present a while back. Even though it's almost a full month after her birthday, we finally got it for her just this week. It's not that she hasn't got enough new toys for her birthday, but this black edition of the Toddler Wobbler was not very easy to find. Netherland doesn't have a Brio official retailer, and most online shops that offer the black Toddler Wobbler that ships to the Netherlands was out of stock. If I'd been willing to take the next best thing, which was in red and yellow, we'd probably have got it last month already. We found this one at Brio-shop.de, and looks like it's their last stock as well. I checked the site again today and it's no longer listed. Pheww...
As she is more keen to learn to walk lately, she loves dragging her highchair (or any chair light enough for her) across the house, as her walking aid. After tons of books and building blocks she's got to play with, I think the kid needs something to exercise those budding gross motoric skills as well, which we, guilty as geeky parents, forgot sometimes. I really like the look of the sleek black Wobbler. It has adjustable brake, so for Peanut who can't really walk yet, we can set the wheels to roll half-braked to make it easier for her to control. As she gets better at balancing herself, they can be loosen for faster actions. It can be difficult to maneuvre, as none of the wheels swivels, and that would be my only complain about it.
