We like the looks and the idea behind the “Fropper,” a $70 rolling vehicle form International Playthings. The child can bounce along, powered by their own two feet. Kids love this “thing” right out of the box and can roll all over the house and driveway with it. Some reviews indicate that this is a toy for the park, but the small wheels make this a better stay-at-home toy, though it does collapse for easy travel with a convenient handle. The revolving caster wheels and bouncing seat make for a fun ride for kids “up to 55 pounds.” Real life users though suggest that over-active bouncing by kids at the top of that weight limit can result in a quickly broken seat and a crying child on the floor.

The style and design are attractive and modern in the style of Boon and other International Playthings ride-abouts like the OkieDog.
