Unrestricted Movement
Unlike traditional ride-ons that require a three-point turn to get out of a corner, the <a href="/products/bee-large-wheely-bug">Wheely Bug</a> moves exactly how your child wants it to. The omni-directional castor wheels allow for 360-degree rotation, meaning they can glide sideways, spin in circles, or zoom backwards without frustration. This freedom encourages them to experiment with momentum and direction, building a deeper understanding of how their body moves through space.
Built for Australian Homes
This isn't a plastic toy that will crack after a month of enthusiastic play. The base is crafted from plantation-grown poplar plywood, featuring smooth, rounded edges that are kind to your skirting boards. The heavy-duty castor wheels are designed to be non-marking and surprisingly quiet on timber or tiled floors, making it an excellent choice for indoor play when the weather keeps you inside.
Gross Motor Mastery
Riding the Wheely Bug is a full-body workout disguised as fun. To propel themselves, children must engage their core stability while coordinating leg movements. The 'scooting' action strengthens the quadriceps and calves, while gripping the handle and steering engages the upper body. It's a dynamic way to burn energy that directly supports the development of balance and coordination.
Dimensions & Fit### Designed specifically for the preschool years, the Large Wheely Bug measures 46cm long x 28cm wide with a seat height of 26cm. It is perfectly sized for children aged 3+ who have outgrown the Small Wheely Bug but still crave that floor-level racing experience.
