Hape Walk-A-Long Snail Pull Toy |Award Winning Toddler Wooden Push and Pull Toy with Removable Color

Bought this for my nephew for Christmas last year. He absolutely adores it and plays with it all the time. When he was younger, he enjoyed pushing the snail around and making the tail wag, and rolling the shell on the floor (with the blocks inside, it makes a very loud, satisfying 'clack-clack-clack' as it rolls). Now he is fully engaged in the matching game aspect. I suspect the next stage is using it as a pull toy on his toddler adventures around the house. I was also very impressed with the build quality of this toy. The fit and finish are excellent and the wood is high-quality with no rough edges. The colors are bright and attractive.

My baby has just started walking and he enjoys pulling this toy along with him. The shape sorter is a bonus. It creates the shell of the snail and rotates when the toy is pulled. If the shapes are within the shape sorter when pulled, they create a clattering sound as the shapes tumble within the toy. The shape sorter often falls out of the toy when it's being pulled by my one year old. While playing with the toy my baby puts the eyes of the toy inside his mouth, and the entire eye fits inside his mouth. When I see him do that I stop him and remove it. I feel concerned that he might be able to chew it off or that the eyes might slide off the toy and pose a choking hazard. So far the eyes are intact and seem sturdy enough to not pop out. It's not a deal breaker and I'm happy with my purchase.

I bought this almost 4 years ago and it continues to be a hit in my home. My daughter played with it initially by pulling out the shapes and putting them in. And it’s changed and shifted how she engages with it every time I pull it out for a new toy rotation. She’s now 4.5 and I have a 2 year old son. Pulled it out a few days ago, another hit. It’s also an immediate hit with all the kids that come over without fail. It’s great quality, still nothing broken. This toy deserved a review.

Definitely makes sense that this is such a highly acclaimed toy. It can be used in multiple ways. They can roll the round part on its own. It’s neat how it turn opposite as its being pulled. They can play with putting the wood shapes in. It’s wood!!! It’s super cute, the eyes are fun and they can pull it around!!! Def best wood pull toy around!

Such a cute toy! Bright colors, sturdy design, lots of fun ways to play (put the pieces in and out, pull the toy along)-- the tail moves up and down and the circle spins as it moves, which is absolutely adorable. I took off a star for two reasons-- 1) the circle that holds the shapes is a little hard to align correctly on the base so that it will spin as you pull it, which has reduced my older child (4 years old) to frustrated tears a couple times) and 2) there are only 3 shapes to put into the shape sorter, which I supposed I should have realized when I bought it, so I guess that is my fault-- I wanted a little more variety. The side where you remove the shapes makes it pretty easy to take the shapes in and out instead of putting them through the shaped holes, so parents might want to be aware of that-- I don't mind it because my 12 month old finds that a pretty engaging activity in itself-- "the easy side", my husband calls it. In all, it's a great toy that I would buy again, and I like it that it appeals to my older infant as well as my 4 year old.

I bought this for my nephew and he loves it! He drags the 'shell' shape sorter around with him everywhere and loves the sound it makes when he pulls it across the floor. My daughter has the turtle version of this, but I think the snail better because: 1) the shapes (3) are longer so they don't fall out of it's 'shell,' 2) the tail moves when you pull it across the floor, 3) toddlers are fascinated by the springy eyes. The downfall is that there are only 3 shapes as opposed to 5 with the turtle and the shapes are harder to get out. With both toys, I just wished there was a large bead attached to the end of the string so it's easier for toddlers to pick up and hold on to. Overall it's a fantastic toy for a toddler.

So I bought this toy as a gift to my 1 year old daughter thinking she would love this interactive pull toy... Little did I know I was saddly mistaken... I failed to realize how traumatic it would be for my daughter to see her mother rip a shell off a happy little snail with excitement while rattling its shell to get the blocks out then shoving my hand inside to grab the blocks only to look up and see my daughter is completely traumatized with wide eyes and a dropped jaw to what I just did to this poor little snail. Now she just holds the base part of the snail and tries to comfort it as long as she can before its last breath... Or until mommy can velcro the shell onto the base while she's asleep... Needless to say, the toy is sturdy. It's perfect. Nothing's wrong with it, but now my daughter is learning to be a veterinarian to save this shell-less snail's life from her mother.

Got this for my son on his first birthday. He hadn't been walking for long, but loved trying to pull the snail. It is really well made, aesthetically pleasing, and fun. It is easy to pull, and the rope has good length. It doesn't tip over either. He loves the shape sorter (which makes noise when spinning that he likes). The little stretchy band that keeps the sorting shapes in on the one side makes it so little challenging for him to get the shapes back out, but it's just another challenge for him to tackle. I plan on buying more toys from this company.

Classical and 2 ways to play. My baby absolutely loved it. Highly recommended!

I bought this for my friend's son, he was 16 months old at the time. He loved it straightaway, the snail's eyes were very interesting to him - they can be turned around in every direction. The paint is good quality and the snail can be easily drawn on the floor without any issues. I bought it for him because he's a very active little boy and he really enjoyed playing with it, drawing it up and down the house. He's a bit too young for the colour-coded part but I'm sure he'll like it later on. He smashed the snail to the ground a few times and still, no breaks and the paint wasn't chipping off. Overall very good quality and versatile toy, especially for toddlers who are physically more active!

Dimensioni perfette, è bella grande, temevo invece fosse piccolina. Materiale resistente e ben rifinito, anche nei colori. Ai bambini piace molto poiché si può trainare, ma anche usare per giocare con gli incastri. Ottimo acquisto, lo consiglio!

Ska bli en julklapp, så har bara sett den i kartongen, men ser mycket rolig och intressant ut.

Very sturdy and the quality is excellent. I introduced it gradually to my baby. First, I introduced the shape sorter before he started walking and then the whole pull toy. He still plays with it until now (almost 2 years).
