Easy Rider

June 14, 2010 //  by Uju//  2 Comments


My little one spent the afternoon at a car boot sale with daddy on Saturday.

And clever hubby picked up this Kiddieland Tigger Ride-on Jet for the handsome price of a fiver.

Not bad, considering we found one retailing on Amazon at $49.99.

Approaching 16 months (where does the time disappear?), Jed’s at that stage where anything that moves and he can sit on makes him feel like a don.

He can’t get enough of his jet that features a bouncy Tigger piloting in the front seat, a propeller that turns and lights up, a steering wheel with loads of buttons to push, perky tunes and a handle at the back so he can push it around. It’s aimed at ages 12 to 36 months.

Ezra’s had fun driving his little passenger around the living room too and it’s obvious that he’d like to ride on it himself.

Bid for one of these on Ebay, find similar good value ride-ons at Argos or visit your local car boot sale and let us know what treasures you scoop for a song.

Mr. Babe visited the car boot sale at Nags Head Indoor Market on 22 Seven Sisters Rd, London N7 6AG.

    Hi Tania, you’re so right. Toys just seem that much more…playful…when they come so cheap ;-)
