The Whirlee is a fab little 4 wheeled ride on which weighs only 865g. In fact I initially felt sorry for our postman when I saw him carrying the box up our drive but when I braced myself to take it off him, I was surprised as it felt like I had been sent an empty box!

As the Whirlee is so lightweight it would be ideal for popping in the car for trips to the park or holidays and if as let’s face it we mums usually do, you end up carrying it home it won’t damage your back

One slight disadvantage we noticed with it being so light is that Zara can lift it very easily as we found when we turned around to find it on the kitchen table with Zara trying to climb up there as well. Now obviously not all toddlers are as kamikaze as Zara and as with all toys they should be used with supervision and Zara has been told that the Whirlee is for floor use only

Another fun feature is the 360 degree caster wheels allowing kids to speedily spin and whirl across the floor. Zara found this great as it allows her to chase our cats just that little bit faster. I swear when she grows up she will master handbrake turns very quickly

As well as riding the Whirlee, which Zara loves doing (once she figured out that the handle goes at the front) she has also discovered it is apparently fun to push it around the kitchen at top speed. Heaven help us when Oscar is also mobile enough to use it, I can just image the crazy times they are both going to have with it.

The Whirlee comes in red or blue and retails for approximately £19.99 making it an affordable and impressive gift for any pre-schooler. It is suitable for ages 1+ so it won’t be long til Oscar can use it to! You can buy it at various retailers including amazon, mothercare and early learning centre. It’s only £16.99 on Amazon so I’d personally get it there
