toy vacuum

[lmh2402]

can anyone recommend a specific toy vacuum? g is enthralled with our real one (upright, not canister), so i'd like to get him one of his own that he can push around

bonus points if it actually sucks stuff up!

thanks

doesn't suck stuff up, but we have the dirt devil jr. from TRU. It's around $10 and it does make a vaccuum noise. We got it for DS when he was 2. He is now 6 and he and DD fight over who gets to use it.

We have the same vacuum above - the little Dirt Devil, Jr. Picked it up at a yard sale for $2. DH said "no" to putting batteries in it ("too many noisy toys already!") but the kids love it nonetheless. It hasn't hindered their fascination for the real thing, though.
