Poppin Push Car by Sassy

This snappy little car is great for older infants and toddlers because it encourages cause-effect exploration as well as pushing and pulling motor movements. When you push the car forward the beads pop merrily and the wheels make a clicking sound that's interesting to little ears. Strengths: It's a great size for little hands and can double as a shaking toy for younger children. Weaknesses: The car can be difficult to push, so often children aren't able to make it work by themselves and have to rely on adult assistance (not really a bad thing as far as I'm concerned). Price: $5-$6. Where to Buy: Sassy toys are very widely available, so you can pick them up at drug stores, Target, Babies R Us, or even Amazon.
