This last year my family and I took several long road trips. Although the vacations alone were fantastic, the drive did not go as smooth. It is very hard entertaining two little ones. Even the shortest drive can lead to a major headache when my two children are in the backseat. This is why I am constantly on the look out for toys, books or activities that are easy to travel with.
Let me introduce to you "Bucky The Buckle Toy". This is a soft plush turtle which keeps your child entertained with it's interactive features. "Bucky" includes fun buckles, colors and shapes.
"Bucky The Buckle Toy's" makers say, "Playing with the child-friendly buckles and zipper improves hand-eye coordination and promotes small motor skills. The toy also has a variety of shapes and colors to enhance learning".
Review:
This is a great toy for children under the age of 4, especially for children who enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together again. Both my daughter and son have always been entertained by zippers and buckles. I have to say though, Bucky the Buckle Toy beats any shopping cart buckle, which has been known to keep my children's attention. My daughter has really enjoyed this adorable turtle. It is great for entertaining children on the road and off. Don't forget to take Bucky along with you to doctor appointments and shopping trips.

Ok... So I was looking at this sight and wondering... "Do we really want our toddler to know how to do the buckles?" Well, I guess I will find out if I win. I do like how they saw a need when their son loved bckles and did something about it. Way to go! Thanks for the giveaway!

I like that the buckles are made to be non-pinching.
I am glad that the woman thought to produce toys with buckles on them because she knew they would catch the attention of other children as well!

Our favorite must have for traveling is my daughter's Tag Junior by Leapfrog. She can't get enough of it! It is educational, has tons of her favorite characters and can keep her entertained for quite some time. A perfect toy for traveling.
her son loved to play with buckles so she wanted a toy with buckles she could put in her diaper bag. I think Bella is very cute

The Turtle Toy was created by a mom named Jill Gomez for her son who was 12 months old at the time b/c he was fascinated with buckles. Thanks for the chance!

My kids each have (2) must have toys in the car. My daughter has a Cabbage Patch Doll named "Amy" who goes EVERYWHERE. My son has a very loud rattle that he'll shake until he can't hold his arm up any more. They both have these matching "canteens" that are personalized with their names in different colors. If we have these items when we leave the house, then all is good.

Jill Gomez originally created this toy for my son Gavin. When he was about 12 months old he was fascinated with the buckles on his stroller and high chair - just like my little boy!

Jill makes sure that each design has an educational purpose because a growing toddler is constantly learning.
When we travel we have to take Holt's pillow and his blanket.
This product is specially designed not to pinch little fingers!

This cauht my eye -they are quick release buckles so they do not pinch and are easy to undo. The buckles are much smaller than regular sized buckles so it is easier for little fingers to have more control.
Love it as my little one loves it when he finds a buckle - he loves trying to buckle things but has gotten his fingers pinched. great review. 2ndchancephoenix at gmail

My oldest son takes his PSP game on all trips.
I love the fact that this is a toy and a learning tool all in one. My son has ASD and one of his quirks are clips. This would be a fun way to ease the quirk while working on his fine motor skills and colors.

I love the Turtle. My son is all about buckles. They also sell purse hooks, which I love!
They also have a Bella Buckle Buddy :)
What a great idea! I like that the buckles are all different, and it's cool that they have a patent pending on the toy.

I like that this is a toy a mom made for her son because she found a gap in the offerings out there in the world. She took it upon herself to make one herself.....and made sure it was safe and educational and something a child will actually interact with. PLUS this is a small business.
All of these traits are a POSITIVE in my book. What a GREAT giveaway...thanks for the chance!
