This is a review of a product I do not actually use, but I was responsible for its purchase and I do trip over it several times a day!
This was the must-have toy that my four-year-old had to have for Christmas 2007; well it was the toy I had most difficulty acquiring for Christmas. I eventually sourced the toy and purchased for around the £35.00 mark.
