Farm 4x4 First Push Toy

The wheels glide so smoothly across our hardwood that my toddler can push it one-handed without tipping. I also love that it's painted wood instead of yet another plastic toy cluttering the living room.

My 14-month-old grabs the handle and pushes this thing all over the living room, and it's light enough that she can actually manage it herself. The wood feels solid and smooth, no rough edges anywhere.

The farm animals are painted so cheerfully that my son actually stopped to point at each one before giving it a push. It’s light enough for him to carry up the stairs by himself, yet sturdy enough to handle his not-so-gentle steering.
