The Wheely Bugs Story
Wheely Bugs was founded in 1995 in Australia. The first designs featured a Ladybird, Bee and Frog which were manufactured out of the family home. From there the company has built over 12 different animal Wheely Bug designs and has a world-wide following.
Safety is a priority for Wheely Bug, products over the entire range are tested to EN71 (Europe), ASTM/ CPSC (U.S.A.), AS/NZS ISO (Australia and New Zealand) standards by a reputable Testing Lab. During these tests, the Wheely Bug has to prove it will not tip over, ignite or smoulder, have bits break off or become unstable during foreseeable use and abuse. All materials are tested for migration of elements i.e. no harmful chemicals are present and /or accessible to little hands and mouths. These include substances such as lead, phthalates and formaldehyde, to name just a few. The company also have every batch of covering material and ink tested for harmful chemicals. In addition, the factory conducts an incoming material quality control as well as quality inspections at each and every production phase. Lastly before shipping a Final Quality Control report is compiled where a random 5% across an entire order is unpacked and thoroughly inspected and tested. These reports are linked to a unique batch code which is stamped into the base of the toy.
