    Would totally agree that this is a fab buy!:j :j
    Bought 2 a couple of years ago (Amazon sell these or www.didicar.co.uk).

    My son is disabled and unable to walk but when his twin sister was having a bike 2 years ago I decided to get one of these for him. He was able to sit on this unaided and with practise was able to steer himself around. Their grandparents have a huge conservatory with a laminated floor and this is where they use them if the weather is bad. Had to get a second one eventually, not just for his twin sister tho', we all go on them and they are great fun. It's really nice for my son to be able to play with his sister without her having any advantages over him.
    His special school were so impressed that they used money raised to purchase 5, the kids and teachers love them!

    These r really good for building up ur arm strength.
    I was on my sons Didi car for a good while, later at night my arms ached. I wondered why they were sore, till i did the same a day later. Hee hee me a big kid at heart and lazy when it comes to keep fit stuff.
    Be careful with copycat didi cars. As we brought a copy one and the real version. You can tell straight away the copy one is not as smooth a ride, the seat makes a clicking noise when sat on. The foot plate is not flush with the toy, so sticks up allowing dirt and dust to gather in. And may eventually pull off. Very anoyyed as they was really only £5 cheaper, thought it was a proper didi car. The nasty looking leaflet with the bad spelling mistakes gave it away. The real didi cars have didi written on them.
    But as a true money saver, i complained and said i would leave negative feed back on the seller. For describing the car as a didid car. So they refunded my money and let me keep the copy cat didi car. So be warned..expect to pay £40 for the real deal didi car. and buy from didicar.co.uk or amazon

  • Songs & Rhymes from In The Night Garden
    My 4 year old daughter has got this one and for a while it was a constant companion when night garden was on, she doesn't get it out quite so often now. It is a very nice book, and helps me to get the songs right, but I personally would not have paid £9.99 for it.

    Thanks to all the solutions to the presents at Christmas problem, we are having discussions now about what she really wants off her list, because we don't want Santa's sleigh to fall out of the sky because it is too heavy. I couldn't go down the lose a present if you are naughty road, one she isn't that naughty really (funnily enough) and I am a big softie.
    I find that it is easier to have discussions with her and we talk things together it makes it easier later, luckily this seems to work. But I do only have the one child and she is quite easy to reason with.
