Fisher Price Sesame Street 2-In-1 Giggle Vacuum
From Fisher Price

Pretend homemakers will love "vacuuming" with their favorite Sesame Street characters. This interactive toy features both Elmo and Cookie Monster. Push the vacuum with Elmo facing forward to hear character phrases from Elmo. Then turn it around to make Cookie Monster face forward and hear his phrases. They giggle, too! Oscar the Grouch gets in on the fun as he spins around in the center cylinder while you push the vacuum. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (not included). Measures 20" tall.

The Giggle Vacuum features both Elmo and Cookie Monster on a double sided vacuum cleaner! Push the vacuum with Elmo facing forward to hear phrases from Elmo then turn the vacuum around to make Cookie Monster face forward and hear phrases from Cookie. Oscar will spin and trash pieces move in the center cylinder when the vacuum is being used. Vacuum will be interactive with great SFX, character phrases and giggles!
Awsome toy, but Ironically doesn't giggle I got this for my 10 month old son (ideally for 18 months +) and he loves it! it moves really easily and has a twirling canister with Oscar the Grouch picking up the dirt. It switches from cookie monster to elmo, with both characters saying cute phrases. Also Oscar pops in once in a while with a playfully sarcastic remark. The issue here is that no giggling is involved in this "Giggle" vacuum. For that, it loses a star. But great toy all around! Don't let the age requirements fool you. As some of the other reviewers have already stated, this is a very small vacuum cleaner more appropriate for 1 and possibly 2 year olds.'I don't know why this listed under the three year old section. Having said that, my three year old does love this toy (even though she has to stoop to push it) and she plays with her vacuum constantly. Little girl is afraid of the noise and vibration This is a noisy toy and can be scary for little ones, especially with the vibration AND loud noise. We tried to introduce the giggle vacuum at around 1 year and it was BAD - screaming and crying and no fun at all! We've tried every month since then (she's 20 months now) and she'll tolerate the vacuum being out now but has no interest in playing with it. Perhaps someday she'll enjoy it. Overall it is just way too noisy, in my opinion.
