Sit ‘n’ Ride with

Henry and Hetty

Spring Fair saw leading toy supplier Casdon showcase a number of new cre- ations, including the Henry and Hetty Sit ‘n’ Rides. The ‘foot to floor’ ride-on is suitable for 12 months and upwards. Casdon says that its unique design provides a huge amount of storage space under the hinged seat. The steering wheel is shaped like the carry handle of the Henry vac, and as the front wheels have limited movement on all ride-ons, it’s of no detriment and can pro- vide a useful hand hold as a walker when

the steering column is locked. Both designs fea- ture the classic Henry/Hetty smiling face, with Hetty looking pretty in pink and Henry raring to go in bold red. Other innovations include the Henry and Hetty Cleaning Trolleys, the Sat Nav Steering Wheel, the Shopping Trolley and the Chip ‘n’ Pin Till.
