American toy manufacturer Little Tikes has introduced a versatile new toy for toddlers called the Unicorn Pillow Racer.
The toy is suitable for kids aged 1.5 years and up, and can be adjusted to include a set of wheels, or simply used as a cozy plush toy at bedtime. The colorful pink unicorn comes with a bright blue handle that's easy for kids to keep hold of as they scoot around on it throughout the house, and the low design ensures they're never too far up from the ground as they use it. When kids want to use the toy as a plush, parents can easily remove the handle and wheels to made it more cuddly. This also makes it easy to remove the cover for washing.
