Sprig Toys Discover Rig Reviews:

We gave this toy to my nephew for his birthday. He loves it! We like the fact that the toy is made from entirely recycled materials and the fact that he can push it as a toy, and then eventually manipulate it by hand as he gets older. A big plus is that it takes no batteries! Sprig toys are wonderful. We first saw them advertised in Sierra Club mgagazine. Amazon.com had the BEST price anywhere for them!
Amazon is the best. The first toy received was missing a part and Amazon arranged for an immediate replacement at no charge. My little grandson is very very happy with this toy. He loves putting things in the basket and pushing it all around the house. A good choice!
I bought the Sprig Discover Rig last summer for around $50. I thought the price was a little steep but liked the eco-design of the toy. When my son was about 15 months old I started to let him play with it. He had only been walking for a few months but could easily push the Rig aroung with the handle attached. I believe the age restriction on the Rig is 3 yrs old so I removed the figure and grill to be on the safe side.

My son is now almost 2 yrs old and still plays with the Rig every day. I gave him the figures to put inside, which he switches around so that he can hear the different tales/songs when pushed. The nice thing is that he’ll probably play with the Rig for another 5 yrs or so.

The quality & construction of the Rig is pretty tough and offers multiple playing options. The handle allows for smaller children to push it while walking or even learning to walk. The handle is removeable so it becomes a free standing vehicle too. The figures that come with the Rig offer different music & stories when inserted into the drivers seat and pushed around. Only one came with the Discover Rig so we bought two additional figures at Toys R Us for $5 apiece. I noticed the music and/or stories can be switched off by a small switch on the underside.

All in all I’d give this toy an A+. My son loves it and $50 now seems like a bargain.
