 noisy fun! Sep 04, 2000
By Patricia A. Burke

We purchased this toy for our son when he was learning to walk (at 9 months of age) and now he's 15 months old and still loves it. It's his favorite toy of all. He pushes it, pulls it, bangs the floor with it, chases the cats with it, gives it to me to push while he watches the "popcorn" pop and even this morning he was sliding it on the dome instead of on it's wheels. YES, it is noisy and it's not fun to have in the background while trying to talk on the phone, but it keeps a busy toddler happy! I wouldn't recommend it as a "learning to walk" toy because it's not 100% stable but for someone who is stable already, I'd highly recommend it!

My son's absolute favorite! Jan 04, 2001
By kelly
I just had to write a review after the negative comments I've read. Yes, it can be noisy (but if he's having fun, I'm happy). Yes, a child could run over your feet with it (my son did until we told him it hurt and wasn't nice). However, of all the toys my son has received, this is one he keeps going back to. It was a Christmas gift when he turned one and as soon as he perfected walking, the popper quickly became his favorite toy. He pretended it was a vaccum cleaner (complete with his own sound effects). And more recently it became a weed wacker (again with sound effects). He really uses his imagination with it. He's now 2 and he still takes it out to do a little poppin'. I believe as long as they are having fun and its safe - go with it! Also, it's inexpensive enough that if your child isn't thrilled with it, at least its not a big investment.

A true classic. Still around for a reason! It's great fun! Oct 20, 2001

I look for toys that grow with my child, encourage creativity and are versatile. I prefer toys that are fairly quiet, easy to use and lots of fun. I want a toy that has more than one button to push.
Let me stress that this is not a quiet toy! However, all the other expectations in a toy are met through this toy. The child can be as imaginative and creative as he/she wants with this toy. This has been a popcorn machine, a part of our family band, a vacuum cleaner and more. My son who is two still wants to play with it. This is not a walker- in other words, it is not to help your child walk, this is a toy for playing with while you walk. Very fun.

This is one of my son's FAVORITE TOYs! Dec 16, 2001

I bought this for my son when he was 11 months old. He was already walking VERY well and he absolutely *LOVES* this toy! (I would not recommend this to a toddler just learning to walk.)This toy has different colored balls inside and the balls *POP* as the toy gets rolled along the floor. I don't know what it is about this little toy, but he plays with this ALL THE TIME! After reading other reviews, my son never "swings" this toy! He thinks of it more like a vacuum because he sees mommy vacuuming all the time. And some of the reviewers wrote that their children run over their toes??? This is a very lightweight toy. If my son does run into something he simply backs up and goes another way. In that way it is a pretty educational toy that will teach cause and effect. OVERALL - Very Good Toy at Very Nice Price! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

ONE OF THE GREATEST TOYS EVER! Nov 05, 2000
By joyce carpenter
I DISCOVERED THIS TOY WHEN MY NEPHEW WAS BORN 20+ YEARS AGO! I HAD IT FOR MY FIRSTBORN - 17 YEARS AGO, AND WITH MY TODDLER, WHO IS NOW 2. THE TOY HAS AN EASY GRASP HANDLE FOR TODDLERS TO HOLD AS THEY PUSH ALONG. THE BALLS POP CONSTANTLY,WHICH KEEPS TODDLERS THRILLED AND INTERESTED. THE BALLS ARE A DIFFERENT COLOR WHICH IS FUN FOR KIDS TO WATCH TOO. THE "GLOBE" MAY DISCOLOR WITH AGE, BUT IT WILL POP FOREVER. THIS IS A GIFT I BUY FOR ALL SMALL CHILDREN. IT IS THE 'COOLEST', MOST DURABLE TOY I HAVE EVER SEEN.
