A popular gift for young children this holiday season, the Laugh and Learn Stride-to-Ride Puppy is a fun ride-on toy that offers babies and toddlers interactive educational play.

Your child can walk, sit or ride on the grinning plastic puppy while its light-up nose and collar twinkle, and songs randomly play. Your baby will enjoy accessing the learning content by pressing the puppy's nose or three interactive buttons on the puppy's collar.

By sitting on the toy and pushing with their feet, children will build leg strength and learn to walk unassisted. Motor skill development is encouraged with praise like "Great job!" as your child scoots or walks along.

The Laugh and Learn Stride-to-Ride Puppy extra-wide wheelbase is ideal for a safe, solid walking aid.

Toddlers can flip up the red seat to walk behind the Stride-to-Ride Puppy while holding onto a handle. They can also store toys, candy and favorite things in the seat's storage compartment.

Three AA R6 batteries, which are included, power the intelligent, head-wagging toy that interacts with your child through over 50 phrases and songs which teach letters, numbers, shapes, and even manners and polite greetings.

Fisher-Price designed this toy with a movable jaw so children can "feed" the three building blocks to the smiling puppy. The building blocks in different colors fit in three separate areas along the puppy's side as well to teach shape sorting.

This unique toy will grow with your baby to the toddler stage with fun activities like learning shapes, songs, ABC's and more. Learning to walk, sensory comprehension, muscle coordination and motor skills are developed with this walking trainer which provides years of enjoyment and education for your child at a low-cost.
