Toys and Games Reviews of Plan Toys Dancing Alligator
Customer Review: Cute (but oh-so-loud)!
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this at a consignment shop, but the construction and paint is a testament to just how well it is made-- it looked brand new (even though it had been used)! My under-1-yo-at-the-time was scared of it in the beginning because of how loud the wooden panels 'clack' when the toy is pulled (the wheel's axles are offset and uneven on opposite sides [on purpose] so that the alligator looks almost like its walking; there's a wave-like motion that's created by the uneven axles and it really makes it move like a genuine alligator-- a sort of gliding and rolling-gait at the same time). A year later, DS loves it and loves the noise it makes as he runs, pulling it behind him as he goes. Me? Way, way, waaaaay too noisy for comfort. Maybe its the fact that we have tiled floors and the sound echoes mightily, but I'd love if they made a future model with some dampers in between the panels to muffle the sound a bit.
My other complaint is that the pull-string is very long and poses a strangulation hazard. We tried wrapping it around the alligator's neck and securing with a knot, but DS managed to open the knot and unfurl the string. We have since cut it down by half.
The wheels have a slight rubber-tread for some traction and so it doesn't skid all over the place as they run. Nice touch from a company that looks like they pay close attention to detail. This is our second wooden toy from the company and I'm super-happy there are no sharp edges, rough, splintery wood or bad paint job anywhere!
Just an FYI: the toy is not as blindingly-bright as the stock photo depicts.
