I have 20 month old twins that have no trouble at all playing with the penguin and duck push toys by Melissa & Doug. They can push and pull and the penguin, especially, is easy to use and flaps it readily flaps its wings, making a soft clacking noise. This is a solid wood bird with solid wood rod and ball. Of course, it's going to feel heavy. People aren't used to seeing classic, hand-made inspired toys anymore so they give it low ratings. Also, all toys require supervision. A baby can throw or swing around any baby-safe toy and hurt himself or others. To give this toy a low rating for that reason is absurd.
With a little practice and showing them how, which took just a few minutes to master, my babies were having great fun with these toys and actually head for them before they play with the plastic toy sets. They also look so happy and confident when they play with these because their efforts bring about the reward of seeing the wings flap. Sounds simplistic, but you should see their faces. It's a confidence booster for them. I am so happy I bought these and feel like these will last a good, long time,as I'm hoping to pass these on to the next generation.

I bought this for my 18mth old grandson for Christmas. He loves it. I had a similar toy like this at my house which we bought for the first baby about 6 yrs ago and he loved it. Bought this one so he will have one at his house too.
Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Flapping Penguin Push Toy
I bought this because my 16 month old's daycare has one that he really liked to play with. It's pretty sturdy and just the right height for him. The penguin is really cute and the flapping is not too loud (which is great for me). It is painted wood, though, and as soon as my son took it outside onto the pavement he tipped it over and dragged it so now the paint is worn off of that area. But, it's not that big of a deal to me or to my son. He thoroughly enjoys this toy and so does his 2 year old brother.
Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Flapping Penguin Push Toy
Very nice toy but not easy tu push by my 14 month old...still she loves the penguin, she comes and picks it up and pulls it behind her. I had to teach her how to push it...guess its for a bit older children...

My son is on the tall side and the angle of the handle seems to be better for shorter kids, but he still loves to play with it. He just ends up carrying it around rather than pushing it all the time.
