 The Myth of Sisyphus Vividly Taught To Children By An Infernal MachineJul 20, 2010
By M. KENNERLY
The greatest trick "The Inchworm" ever pulled was convincing the world that it was really a toy. My mother bought two of these contemptible devices for my two-year-old twins; how was she to know it was forged in the tenth ditch of the eighth circle of Dante's Inferno?
"The Inchworm" does not roll. It does not bounce. Nay, it does not "inch."
It does, however, crudely flex up and down just enough to trick toddlers into believing that, if they continue pushing, jumping, rocking and leaning, the toy will at some point function.
I assure you, dear buyer, that nothing will come of these efforts. If you, as a parent, have decided upon raising your children by way of the cruel tutelage of frustration, futility and fury, then, by all means, buy this product and teach your toddler early on to rage, rage against the immobility of the worm.
Otherwise, I suggest you purchase a wagon or a tricycle.

 My son loves it!Nov 20, 2007
By NY Minerva

We bought this for my 3 year old son who has massive sensory needs. He loves it, we love it, it is a classic. We were looking for an alternative to a tricycle as he is not ready for the pedalling motion yet. This is great. It does take effort for the child to move it forward and it does not move backards, but this was perfect for us as sensory input is supposed to offer muscles resistance. Your kids will get a workout with this, which is the whole point. It is great, simple, classic fun.

This is so disappointing !!Dec 13, 2007
By Rebecca
Okay, I was so excited to buy this for my 3 yr old because I loved it when I was little. It's terrible !! It doesn't go unless you are about 85 lbs or more. My 7 yr old couldn't even get it to go. I called the company and they said lots of people have called about this and that they would look into it, but they did not give any kind of refund. Bottom line is, don't waste your money on this, they won't be able to play with it.

 DisappointedApr 15, 2008
By AZmom
I don't really have anything else to add that the other reviewers haven't already stated. My 2 year old was so happy to get this toy until he became very frustrated that it does not move. Even if I sit on it, a grown adult, it is difficult for me to get it to move. Needless to say, it is in our closet not being played with. Would not buy again.

Not as good the one I rememberMay 13, 2008
By T. Hancock
When I saw the Inchworm was back, I was so excited because I remember the one from the 70s when I was a kid. Radio Flyer should consider putting a weight requirement on this toy because you have to be adult-size to bounce it. My son got it for Christmas. He's a BIG 2-year-old weighing 40 pounds. My 4-year-old daughter also weighs 40 pounds, and she can't move it either. I believe it's supposed to "inch" along as you bounce up and down on it, but even applying all 40 pounds, neither my son or daughter can make it work. I, of course, can make it work, but I weigh 145 pounds! They scoot along on it using their feet, but it's hard to make it go, so they get bored with it pretty quickly. I'm so disappointed. I wish we'd gotten some other type of ride along toy for my son.
