@jonsblond – I am all about Little Tykes toys! (or Step2)...they are a great value, generally indestructible and children love them!
@RandomMrdan – Anything that they can push, pull or use to stand with, is usually a great toy for this age. Also, they (Little Tykes) usually has some simple type of ride on toy, that can double as a push toy – my son had one. It was red, really basic – I remember some yellow accents and their standard blue accents – he loved it and played with it for years. The Cozy Coupe is a standard; however, it will be hard for the little one, right now.
I do hope all is going well for you and your new addition! My continued best wishes to both of you! And Happy Birthday to mini-RandomMrdan!
