P’kolino Book Buggee on sale, will probably fit in your file cabinet

P’kolino Book Buggee on sale, will probably fit in your file cabinet
We've always loved the look of P'kolino's line of children's furniture, but never their prices. Their Book Buggee, a cute toy and book wagon for toddlers, is on sale on Amazon for almost 40% off the standard retail - selling on Amazon for $24.14, down from the $38.50 P'kolino charges when they sell direct. (Don't be fooled by the "$44.90" list price on Amazon.) So we're looking again, and thinking about how cute it is, and trying to overlook the fact that it's made of fiberboard with a wood veneer. And then we notice that this thing is about the size of a piece of paper, with a 7.5" x 13.5" bellyprint, and standing 7.5" tall. Is that small?

It has been a while since we had a two-year-old, and Z has always been big. So I ask you - have any of you purchased this cute thing, and can you tell us if it is a reasonable size for a one-year-old, two-year-old, three-year-old child?

If your child has a different toy cart, do me a favor - grab a standard piece of paper and tell me if theirs is bigger or smaller than said paper, and if you think it's a good size for your child.

As for the deal, though, it's a hard one to beat. $24.14 means you can throw a book in there and get free shipping. And we all know how cheap great kids' books can be. (Need some suggestions? Browse the comments of our ongoing LeapFrog Tag giveaway - we've had several dozen great suggestions so far, and have them all linked up to Amazon.)


P'kolino's gorgeous (and cleverly compact) Klick Desk is also on sale: ~$142 if you like the orange, or ~$148 if you'd rather red. The handsome green option is still selling at full list price, $198.50.

I don’t own it, but based on the measurements, it looks like it would fit nicely with the proportions of my son’s other favorite toys (he is 1 year old). However, I question the design’s canted book-rack aspect. That might decrease useful space, because it would divide up the storage area. So I can’t really say how many books it would hold- based on size alone, I’d estimate you could put 15 standard baby-size board books in it. It is darn cute, though.

That desk is soo cute! But yeah, pricey. I’m not sure that I’ll bite, even at <$150.

But 20 minutes later, I’m still looking at it, so...maybe. For V’s birthday.
