Is your Cars Fan going to daycare or preschool? Time for a backpack? Here’s a good little buy that The Helpful Dad recommends. Vroom! Vroom!

Is your Toddler a Cars Fan? Does he/she love Lightning McQueen? Are you looking for a Ride-On Toy? If you answered “yes” to each of those questions, then this is the toy for you!

The Helpful Dad gives this 5 Stars – it’s durable, fun, and will keep your toddler’s attention for month’s to come. We’ve had ours for over a year and Jax is still using it every day. Just be careful – once your toddler gets the hang of it, they can speed around the floor and run you over! 🙂

This is a MUST HAVE for Cars Fans.

Does your toddler love Chuck? Then consider this toy. The Helpful Dad says ‘be sure to compare the Playskool version to the Tonka version” to see which one you like best. We believe the Playskool version is the better buy – for 1/2 the price you get similar features.

Here’s an official description:
“Your toddler will have loads of dump-truck fun with Playskool’s Chuck My Talking Truck. Not only does Chuck have over 40 spoken phrases and sounds, he also drives to you when called and shakes his bumper and dump bed while chatting and “working.” Designed for children ages two and up, Chuck My Talking Truck offers your child interactive fun and role-playing opportunities.”

Has your toddler outgrown their high chair but you don’t want to get them one of those ugly plastic booster seats? Then consider the Cooshie – The Helpful Dad owns this seat and my son loves it. I give it 4 of 5 stars – the only negative is it’s a bit pricey. Try to pick it up around $30-40 and you’ll be in good shape.

Here’s an official description:

Looking for a good HIGH CHAIR for your baby? Consider the Chico Polly High Chair – it’s good, BUT just know you’ll be trading your child’s comfort (a positive) for a bit of a pain in cleaning (a negative). Overall The Helpful Dad gives this 4 of 5 starts – we’ve personlly owned this chair and used it for over a year. I believe its a great buy for $115-130 and a good buy for $130-150.

Here’s the official description/notes:
“The Polly Highchair’s seven height positions, three reclining positions, and one-hand tray removal make the Polly the most convenient highchair to maneuver. Its highlighted and clearly visible buttons won’t leave you searching for how to adjust the highchair to make your child most comfortable.

The Polly also makes cleaning easy with its dishwasher-safe, tray insert and two cushioned, seat pads that are easy to clean. All vinyl seat pads are Phthalate free.

The Chicco Polly puts safety first by including a five-point safety harness and brakes on all wheels.
