Product Overview
The Melissa & Doug K's Kids Pull-Back Vehicle Set brings four soft, squishy vehicles into playtime: a school bus, family car, fire truck, and police car. Each vehicle is designed for tiny hands to grasp easily, and the simple pull-back mechanism sends them zooming across the floor when released. The soft construction makes these vehicles safe for babies and toddlers, while the cause-and-effect action invites little ones to crawl and chase after the rolling toys.
- Four colorful soft vehicles included: school bus, family car, fire truck, and police car
- Pull-back play mechanism lets babies pull the vehicles backward and watch them zoom forward
- Soft, lightweight materials make the set appropriate for babies and toddlers
- Encourages development of motor skills and hand-eye coordination
