Star Car - Emily

This is Emily (L3-L5) at 14 months old using the Starcar.

This has been a great piece of equipment. Emily figured out how to power it immediately and now, at 17 months, she is all over the house in it.. getting into cupboards, taking shoes out of the shoe baskets, playing in the dog's food and water and rearranging the magnets on the refrigerator. You can't help but be a proud Mommy when your little one finds freedom for the first time.
