Jouets Metal - Voiture à Friction Fanfare par Moulin Roty

My son can't get enough of the way these little cars roll forward with just a gentle press—the brass band detailing is so whimsical. They're sturdy enough for his toddler hands, and the bright colors make them easy to spot when he inevitably sends one under the couch.

These little cars are so charming with their brass band details, and the friction mechanism works smoothly on our hardwood floors. My toddler loves rolling them backwards and forwards—the trio of colors makes a fun parade. We've already bought a second set.

The brass band detail on these little cars is adorable, and rolling them back and forth with a slight press does give a nice, sturdy friction pull. That said, I was a bit let down that they're smaller than I pictured, and the paint seems like it might chip if a toddler gets too rough.
