However, all the other expectations in a toy are met through this toy. The child can be as imaginative and creative as he/she wants with this toy. This has been a popcorn machine, a part of our family band, a vacuum cleaner and more. My son who is two still wants to play with it.
This is not a walker- in other words, it is not to help your child walk, this is a toy for playing with while you walk.
Very fun.
5.) ONE OF THE GREATEST TOYS EVER!

I DISCOVERED THIS TOY WHEN MY NEPHEW WAS BORN 20+ YEARS AGO! I HAD IT FOR MY FIRSTBORN - 17 YEARS AGO, AND WITH MY TODDLER, WHO IS NOW 2. THE TOY HAS AN EASY GRASP HANDLE FOR TODDLERS TO HOLD AS THEY PUSH ALONG. THE BALLS POP CONSTANTLY,WHICH KEEPS TODDLERS THRILLED AND INTERESTED. THE BALLS ARE A DIFFERENT COLOR WHICH IS FUN FOR KIDS TO WATCH TOO. THE "GLOBE" MAY DISCOLOR WITH AGE, BUT IT WILL POP FOREVER. THIS IS A GIFT I BUY FOR ALL SMALL CHILDREN. IT IS THE 'COOLEST', MOST DURABLE TOY I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Seriously, though, we set aside quiet time in the evenings for the family, and the noisier toys are put away. Mornings are the rowdiest time in our household, and we try to wind things down when bedtime approaches so it's easier for the little ones to settle down to sleep.

Okay, I'm being silly, but this toy is a classic, and it has stuck around for good reason. Kids love it. They push, pull, and drag it around while the little balls inside pop noisily. It is so simple, yet my little boy loved it from the moment he could walk, and he is still playing with it -- just tonight as a matter of fact -- 7 months later. A winner and a bargain. What more could you ask for?

My now 20 month old son received this as a gift on his first birthday. He played with it more often than he did with most of his other toys. He had been walking for a few months, so it wasn't much of a helpful tool, but it was fun. Then one day (about 3 months later) his babysitters played a game with him where they chased him around the apartment with it. He had so much fun that from that point on he almost never put it down. Normally I would say that the sounds wouldn't bother me. However, he ran with it so fast and constant that it was enough to trigger a headache, and it drove my husband nuts. It was worth it though. He loved it so much. About four or five months after he received it, however, the spring that made it pop actually popped up into the clear bubble and didn't work anymore. We took it apart to see if we could fix it, but there was a bar inside that had broken in half. It couldn't be fixed. I know he used it all the time and ran fast, but I really thought it was indestructable until that day. He doesn't run around with it now, but he is still attached to it somehow. If he spots it he will take it and push it around, for a few seconds, until he remembers that it doesn't make noise any more. Then he'll set it down, and when we leave the room he'll make sure to take it with him again. (It's kind of sad, actually.) All in all though, I recommend this product. I just hope yours doesn't break! (It sounds like most of them last. We must have been the exception, having one that broke.)
Case in point:
Based on my experience, this is a fun, entertaining toy for babies/toddlers who recently learned how to walk. ...Just be prepared for the popping sound (which is very loud if run with but otherwise fine), and hope yours doesn't break.
...As far as educational value goes, it can be a teaching tool for words like fast, slow, quiet, loud, go, stop, etc. It's all about how you choose to use it. :)

Having 6 children ages 20 months to 18 years, I think all of my children have had one of these Fisher Price Poppers at one time or another. It has always been a favorite. And I don't think they have ever broken one either. My 20 month old son LOVES his, so does my cairn terrier. They have a blast with it together! I think every toddler needs one of these. It really encourages walking too. It's the perfect inexpensive gift for ages 9 mos. to 2 years.

Boy, having kids sure is great, if for no other reason than to revisit all the cool toys of our own youth.
This is definitely one of those toys. It's inexpensive, indestructible, and simply fun. We fling this corn popper in the bottom of the buggy and it travels to the park with us every day, where it's a hit with all the local kids. My son HAS tried to swing this toy around, but after a few times of "losing" the honor of playing with it, has since learned that it's meant only for rolling on the floor.
I too would recommend your little one be a fairly stable walker before unleashing them with this toy; however, even the almost walkers, crawlers and sitters would enjoy pushing and pulling it back and forth from a bottom-only position! It's quite a noisy toy, which is why ours is relegated mostly for outdoor use only, but it's a great classic and one that I'm very glad is still around.
We've even left it outside in the rain, the sun, you name it; it's still as bright, colorful and loud as ever.
What more could you ask for with an eleven-buck investment? Highly recommended toy.

15.) You cannot go wrong with the corn popper!

This is one of the few toys, it seems, which has remained fundamentally unchanged since we were children. The push-stick is shaped a little differently (I remember a thin blue broom stick with an orange or red handle) but otherwise, it is the same. No electronic sounds or flashing lights have been added - although you can get it that way, too, if you want. Personally I think these things detract from the imagination building aspects of certain toys. I'm not saying we have no talking or musical or flashing toys, but it dismays me when these things are added to the classics (think Little People farm etc).
What I love about this toy is it can be ANYTHING. It's a sweeper! It's a carpet cleaner! It's a mop! It never fails to crack me up when my son comes running after me with his corn popper when I am cleaning. It's a lawnmower! So many jobs around the house or yard can be copied with the corn popper. And if mom or dad isn't up to much, it's still great fun to run around with which means exercise for the kiddies. It's a solo toy and a playing-with-other-kids toy. Any time we have other children over to play, the corn popper comes out as they chase each other about the house.
We got this toy when my son was 13 months. He is now 3y4m and still playing with this toy. I have seen 5 and 6 year olds still playing with the corn popper. There are few toys that are so simple and yet offer so much fun. Sturdy, too - very important as it's bound to be crashed into a few walls. I can't think of another toy which will give you more bang for your buck - unless you count dirt and measuring spoons and all those other free things that kids so exasperatingly pick over the toys you paid good money for.
I am a little alarmed at the current PRICE listed for this toy, though. You should not need to pay that much for it. Occasionally this item becomes hard to find - especially at Christmas - but usually there are tons of them in the stores for around the cost of a President Hamilton. Right now this is listed for twice that.

We were offered this popper as a hand-me-down toy. Since it was a bit worse for wear, I was prepared to turn up my nose at it. Luckily, my mom was there and she encouraged me to take it, saying I had *loved* my popper when I was little. All I can say is, thank goodness I listened to her. My 15 month-old son LOVES this. And has since he was 8 months old. It's better now that he's walking (running) with it, but even when he was just sitting he was thrilled to push it back and forth. And yes, he even drags it around on its dome like so many other reviewers' kids. Go figure. All I know is, it holds his attention and he's so happy to have it!

We recently bought several new toys for our 1 year old and this is by far his favorite! He loves to push and pull it while sitting, standing, and attempting to walk behind it. It provides just enough stability to help, but little enough for him to be independent! In the morning, it is the first toy he goes for. He feels "big" knowing he is making those popping sounds all by himself. He is so proud of himself!! I almost didn't get this toy because I thought it was old fashioned, but to my surprise he tired quickly of the newer more expensive toys and has stuck to this one. I smile when I think of all the laughs and squeals this toy has given him. Great toy!!!

Simple is good. At age 41, I still remember my corn popper. Things haven't changed much in four decades (Thank you Fisher-Price). At our house, child #3 is hard at work pushing the popper around with great glee as he learns to walk. Two older siblings who've moved on to more sophisticated (and expensive) toys still come back to the popper, either as part of some other play activity or simply to annoy us when we're on the phone.
It's a rare pleasure to see something simple that works and that hasn't been tinkered with. Now, if Mattel would just bring back the "Va-room".

This toddler toy is a classic for good reason! My son is currently 16 months old, and this is definitely one of his favorite toys that he seeks out to play with numerous times a day. He loves the sound of the popping and the feel of the wheels as he rolls it over different floor textures such as hardwood floors, carpet, linoleum, tile, deck boards, etc. Also, he gets excited by the neat echo effect from the popping that he occasionally gets while pushing it in a small bathroom, our enclosed porch, or at the top of the stair well.
My son has plenty of toys with music and lights, yet this simple push toy sees more action in our house than anything else. (By the way, I found it for half this price at one of the popular national-chain toy stores.) For this reason, I think the simpler, old-fashioned version without electronic counting and lights is the better version.

And this toy is safe to fill that need. We have animals that were not even close to being targets from this toy (or any other). It's all in how you teach your children. (Your children learn from you.) Our two boys have been taught since they could understand; "you do onto others, as you would like done onto you!" (Plus, a little responsibility on how to take care of the toys.) I know we made a game out of counting the (colored) balls, and moving it slowly to "see & hear" what that was like. Let's not forget they need to be active with this toy so, I found/find it's ALSO great for those times they need to get out of grumpy moods. Needing to have that deep pressure filled. Meaning, to run and act silly. How wonderful it would be for us adults to let off a "little steam" with a bigger version. The little version works for now. Sounds nutty, but that's the point. If some parents let children be children with this toy, they might be surprised to learn something about how they are at "Teaching!" Hopefully, they will see the world THROUGH a Childs eye again, wouldn't that be nice?

One of my earliest memories is of pushing my own corn popper around our house. I am told that I used to follow my mother around with it everywhere. So, as soon as my 10 month old daughter learned to walk, I bought one for her. This is about as much fun as you can have with $10. She is fascinated by the colored balls and the noise that the corn popper makes. It took her a while to figure out the right angle to hold it at--and that unlike her push-walker it would not support her weight if she leaned on it-- but she loves it now. Sometimes she just carries it around.
This is a great, classic toy. It doesn't require batteries, it doesn't make electonic music, it just pops. And somehow, it helps a baby's sense of wonder about the world.

I've been looking for this basic Corn Popper for months now! It's not easy to find. You can find ones with electronics, talking, etc - but the old fashioned (or retro) fun is just as fun for current 1 1/2 yr olds+ as it was for my generation.
I was lucky to stumble upon it at a local store today and gave it to my 1 1/2 yr old niece. She INSTANTLY loved it. For a half hour straight she played with it, running around in circles, pulling it, occasionally pushing it - having a blast. With her short attention span, her playing with one toy for so long really made my day.
I am a happy uncle today. I gave my niece a good toy, and I recommend it no matter what the price.

We got this for our daughter's first birthday in reliance on the MANY GLOWING reviews here and on the recommendation from the Oppeheimer Toy Portfolio. It is a great, and inexpensive, present for a child who is already walking. It has not been as big of a hit as we thought it would be, but it does get a lot of use -- we have got more than our $12 worth. She is 15 months now and I suspect it will continue to be in play. I get a kick out of her having the same toy I did way back when.
Note that I had to go out of my way to get one that just pops (the way mine did when I was little) and doesn't count, recite the ABCs, or do other developmentally inappropriate "educational" things.

Reviewed by: marared Southern California
Rating: 
This toy is an old classic that has held on through the years because it's plain, simple fun that still appeals to toddlers and preschoolers of the Barney generation. For imaginative toddlers and preschoolers who want to "be like mom and dad" it can be a vacuum cleaner, a lawn mower, and other grown-up toys. My toddler's eyes light up when she hears the popping noise. Yes, it's a bit loud, but it's nostalgic for me and I know she's having a good time.
Unlike some other push toys, this one requires a toddler to be somewhat steady on his or her feet because there's nothing to lean on. For this reason, this is a slightly later push toy than some of the others that have four wheels (for a good stable early push toy, try the VTech Little Smart First Steps Plus - it's very stable and solid and will give your little one something to lean on as he or she is taking those early steps).
This toy can be either pushed or pulled. It does require that the child keep the handle in the proper angle. There is a fairly wide range of angles that work, but if the handle gets too vertical (straight up and down) the toy has a tendency to start going backwards into the child, which may send the child over the top of the popper onto the ground. This was only a problem for my daughter early on as she was learning to use this toy, but it's something to watch for when an early walker starts using it.
Overall a great toy and a classic!

As a speech therapist who has worked with infants for 11 years, as well as a Mom with three active boys...I always look for sturdy, fun and educational toys. The "popper" is an excellent toy for beginning walkers because it gives them the security of holding on to the handle while taking those risky first steps. Also, unlike pull toys, the child can actually see the toy they are using. With some encouragement, young users delight in repeating the "pop pop" sound made by the toy. This is a great first step in language learning. Following directions such as "stop" and "go" also become fun with this toy. I consider this toy a "must-have" basic toy for toddlers.

I remember having a Corn Popper when I was little, and my husband does too. What we didn't recall when we purchased it for our son was how incredibly LOUD and ANNOYING it is when you're not the one playing with it.
When our son was first learning to walk it was a really neat incentive for him -- to push it and see/hear the balls popping. Then it was to run and make the balls pop faster, and faster, and faster, and - you get the point. Now, because the toy is so lightweight, he can lift it in the air and sometimes slams it down on a table or sofa. Boys will be boys (as they say) so I've decided it's time to pass it along to someone else (donation).
I know he had a good time playing with it, but he's had more fun with other toys. Let's just say our next child won't be "popping corn".

My son didn't use this toy much. He didn't find it stable enough to help him learn to walk, and once he could walk, he wasn't interested in pushing it.

I got this for my little girl who was trying to learn to walk and it wasn't stable enough and kept slipping forward if she tried to use it for support. I ended up giving it away and buying another one that had four wheels and had better support for her body weight until she was able to walk on her own.
140.) real good deal, but No a good gift.

I can't complain if $6.00 for a new toy, but it looks like a used toy to me, and it doesn't comes with a product box, it is not a good idea for a gift.
141.) Not my first choice in fun toys...

Fun for kids, not adults. Durability..I rate a 5 because the darn thing just won't break! Who hasn't had a Corn Popper? Even I had one 30 years ago. However, it is the most annoying toy imaginable. Something like water torcher but much worse. Of course kids bring along their own form of loudness, but this toy is just senseless, non educational, obnoxious noise. I prefer to buy toys that will teach my child at least the slightest skill rather than how to annoy anyone within ear shot.
142.) Not a favorite in our household.

For the most part, this toy just sits in the corner of my kids play room collecting dust. My daughter received this as a gift for her first birthday. She is now three. She has played with it maybe a dozen times in all that time.
143.) Poor Quality

We got the popper that counts to 10, as a gift for our now, 3 year old. She didn't use it that much, but the counting was annoying and then stopped completely (not a bad thing). Sometimes the popper part worked and sometimes it didn't. It was really frustrating, so we put it in the trash.
I won't be getting one for our second daughter.
144.) I bashed my brothers head with this when I was young

My brother got this toy one year when he was 5 and I was 8. It was so annoying, I grabbed it away from him one day and proceeded to bash him repeatedly on the head until my Mother took me over her lap and proceeded to give me a good old fashioned spanking. My brother was ok aside from some bruises and an intense fear of popping sounds. To this day you can NOT pop Popcorn around him without setting off a panic attack.
145.) Shame on you Amazon!

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! Beware of this "sale" item folks. What I received looked like a garage sale item I could have purchased for a quarter. The shipping box was way to big for this itme and it arrived half open. The item was not covered in plastic or anything else to protect it so it arrived scratched and dirty. These poppers are notourious for ending up looking scratched on the clear plastic cover, but only after lots of use. Well mine looks like it's been used for years. The handle was scratched and sticky as well. So sad since I'm supposed to give this as a gift. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

I ordered the Toddlerz Push Toy Corn Popper for a friend of mine whose daughter is turning one. I thought it would make a fun birthday present for the little girl. When I finally received it, I was disapointed to discover that the wheels didn't turn when pushed along the floor, so therefore, there was no corn "popping". Even when I tried to turn the wheels it was stiff, and I found that the wheels were misaligned. I think I'll find something else to send her.

This toy was the one toy that I never wanted to buy for my son, so it was given to him by his Aunt as a joke on me. But I let him have it anyway. But he got bored with it very fast, so he found a new use for it, he would swing it around like a baseball bat. I knew there was a reason why I never wanted to buy him this toy, besides it being very annoying and loud, it has no educational value and now I have found out that it can be dangerous!!
