A realistically noisy pretend lawn mower with fun visual effects, this one is likely to get a good deal of use by toddlers who want to play grownup. The coolest part of this toy is the see-through plastic mulch compartment. It’s full of tiny colored beads that dance around when the mower is in motion, giving the illusion of grass being mulched. An on/off key, gear switch, gas cap, and a loud popping noise add to the entertaining components. Made in typically durable Little Tikes fashion, this toy will stand up to many miles of lawn mowing. –Jane Snyder

I made the mistake of walking by this mower display in Toys R Us with my 15 month old son. The bright colors caught his attention (ours is the red, black, and yellow version) and when I didn’t let him stop to play he threw a fit. Thinking that I’d let him play with it for a few minutes and then be on my way, I went back to the aisle, lifted him out of the buggy, and let him “mow” a few aisles. When I thought it was time to stop, I put him back into the buggy and put the mower back on the display, and he had a cataclysmic breakdown. I had never seen him so attached so quickly to a toy. Needless to say, I put the mower in the buggy with him, and it went home with us. He has played with it every day since, and it is by far his favorite toy. He keeps our hall, living room, dining room and kitchen mowed to perfection. And I don’t mind this toy because the popping sound is not so loud and annoying that I want to take it away after a while. Anything that makes him so happy makes me happy.

We received this toy from a neighbor. My two year old daughter really enjoys it. We compared this to the bubble making lawn mower toy and the playskool one and found this Mulching Mower more durable, less likely to tip backwards and of course, with no messy bubbles, better for parents and clean up. The popping noise is not annoying like I thought it would be (like that popcorn push toy is), so overall it is a good toy for boys or girls.
