Only works on thick carpet

We bought this for our son for his first birthday, he does love it but it does not gobble up the blocks, most of our home is hardwood floors and flat carpet, it only picks up the blocks on the high pile carpet. It's fun for him to push around and ride on but doesn't do what it was made to do.

something missing, but can't put my finger on it.....

for some reason, i thought there was going to be more to this then there is. my daughter enjoys it, walks around with it all the time, but it's not her favorite. i don't know, maybe some lights and songs or something would spruce it up.

Gobble 'N Go - Even if it's only in a straight line

I bought this toy for my 14 month old son who was cruising, but not walking hoping it would encourage him to start walking. The gobbling part worked pretty well and even picked up other small toys. However, the hippo doesn't turn easily at all, so once he ran out of space in the straight line he was walking it was all over. It's not much fun to play with a toy for a few seconds then have to have Mom turn it around so you can play for a few more seconds
