A little disappointed.Aug 14, 2006
By Karen K. Hart
I was excited to find this duck because of the bird's attractive appearance and the concept of flapping, clacking wings. My 1 1/2-year-old son enjoys my old push toys, and I thought a new push toy would be a welcome addition to our familty. When the beautiful duck arrived, I couldn't wait to remove the packaging.
Unfortunately, the toy's design is a disappointment. It takes real effort to get the wheels to flip through the mechanism so the wings flap; if you don't push really hard, the wheels just stay put--particularly on carpet, since the carpet gives before the wheels do! Also, the balance is questionable; for the toy to stay upright when not in use, it pretty much has to be propped against something. Otherwise, the weight of the handle pulls the duck down. I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE to stand the toy upright on its own, but kids who like things to be neat will probably meet with frustration if they try to stand the duck up without assistance.
I'm not planning to return our duck or the one we ordered for our nephew (they're just too cute), but I wouldn't have bought them if I'd tried them out in a store first.

 Bringing back memories of the good old days! Simplicity is beauty!Dec 26, 2007
By Nikita666
Back to basic! Yet another high quality, well constructed solid Melissa & Doug creation. My 18 month old adores it. Contrary to some feedback, this toy is easy to maneuver. No annoying noises, battery free - simplicity at its best!

Difficult to manipulateJul 06, 2007
By K. Cevasco
My son received this as a gift for his first birthday. He was very excited to hold and push the duck as he walked around, however, that excitement is long gone. There is a lot of resistance in the wheels which makes it difficult to push. I push the duck and my son smiles as it flaps its wings. Perhaps when he's is a bit older he'll be able to push the duck on his own. Until then, the duck just sits in the corner. On a positive note, the toy is well-made and is of the highest quality.
Hard toy to maneuverMay 04, 2010
By S. Park
This is a hard toy for a child to maneuver. My son did not like it at first because it just didn't move the way he wanted it to move.
I realized that the elastic controlling the duck was to tight, so I removed it and replaced it with a nylon string instead. Now my son likes it because he can control it better.
 Big DisappointmentMar 02, 2009
By Online Shopper
In our house we call this the "poorly designed toy". As another reviewer pointed out, you have to hold the stick at just the right angle, and you also have to dig the wheels into the ground to get traction in order to make the wheels turn. In addition, the wooden ball at the top of the stick is too big for little hands to hold on to. Our 15-mo old daughter will grab for the toy but get frustrated that she can't push it properly. Sometimes she ends up just carrying the thing, but mostly she abandons it and finds another toy.
