About our toys for two year olds

Two is the age of 'me do it'. A two year old wants to push the pram, stir the pan and climb whatever is in reach, usually all before breakfast.

The toys here are chosen for that stage, and each one states an age that includes two: dolls prams and buggies from age two, learning towers and a wooden rocker from 18 months, the Banwood balance bike from around two and a half, and soft play sets recommended from age one.

Choosing a toy for a two year old

Copying the grown-ups

Two year olds learn by copying. The Roma Teddy My First Pram is suitable from age two and is sized for a toddler rather than scaled down from an older child's model, and the Roma RHS umbrella buggies and Rupert pram are built for little ones from 24 months. In the kitchen, the MeowBaby learning towers bring a child safely up to counter level, from around 18 months or from age two depending on the tower.

Climbing, rocking and riding

For a child who needs to move, the MeowBaby Dream Rocker rocks and flips over into a climbing bridge and is recommended from 18 months, always with an adult nearby. The Banwood Balance Bike is for children aged 2.5 to 5, with a 4.5kg steel frame and a seat that adjusts from 40cm to 50cm, so balancing and steering already feel familiar by the time pedals arrive.

Quieter play

The Best Years wooden rainbow stacker is handmade from sustainably sourced wood and is suitable from 18 months, and the MeowBaby soft play and shape sets give a two year old something to build, rearrange and climb indoors.

Questions about toys for two year olds

What toys are good for a 2 year old?

Two year olds love toys that let them copy what adults do and use their whole body: a pram to push, a step to help in the kitchen, something to climb or rock on, and a first balance bike for an older two. Every product in this collection states an age that includes two, and each product page sets out its own age guidance so you can check before you buy.

Can a 2 year old ride a balance bike?

The Banwood Balance Bike is recommended for children aged 2.5 to 5. Its steel frame weighs 4.5kg and the seat adjusts from 40cm to 50cm, so it fits a child from the second half of their third year through to five. For a younger two, a pram, rocker or soft play set may be a better first present, with the balance bike following a little later.

What age is a learning tower for?

The MeowBaby Learning Tower and the Learning Tower with Chalkboard are suitable from around 18 months, and the MDF Learning Tower from age two. Each one has an adjustable platform that brings a child up to counter height, so they can help at the worktop rather than watching from the floor. Always supervise a child using a learning tower.

Is a dolls pram a good present for a 2 year old?

For many two year olds, a pram is one of the most used presents of the year. The Roma Teddy My First Pram is suitable from age two and measures 62cm long with a 61cm handle height, sized for a toddler. The Roma RHS umbrella buggies are also recommended from age two, and the Rupert pram is built for little ones from 24 months.

Will these toys still be used at three?

Most of them will. The soft play and playground sets are recommended up to ages 3 to 6, the learning towers adjust as a child grows, and the Banwood Balance Bike is recommended up to age five. A pram or a rainbow stacker tends to stay in the toy box for years, often long after the child has moved on to a scooter or trike.
