In our house we call this the "poorly designed toy". As another reviewer pointed out, you have to hold the stick at just the right angle, and you also have to dig the wheels into the ground to get traction in order to make the wheels turn. In addition, the wooden ball at the top of the stick is too big for little hands to hold on to. Our 15-mo old daughter will grab for the toy but get frustrated that she can't push it properly. Sometimes she ends up just carrying the thing, but mostly she abandons it and finds another toy.
