Where would I be able to find a really sturdy wooden trolley (with handle) and colourful blocks that are painted with Non-Toxic paint?
I'm trying to avoid Trade Me as I know there are a few sellers who get all their stuff from China & will tell me the paint is non-toxic when really they have no clue. I'd also like the trolley to be quite heavy so no chance of tipping. Does anyone have one of these - if so where did you purchase it from? Any recommendations would be highly appreciated 
TIA ------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

| I did a lot of research when we decided to get one. Not sure about the toxic paint but ended up getting the Baby First, or first choice or something like that. Has colourful flocks with the alphabet on it. Alex is now 2.5 and still uses it to transfer toys from one place to another - even Mr 5 years uses it |

I got one for my nephew from K-Mart 4 years ago...am pretty sure it was non-toxic paint...though isnt it terrible that I cant actually remember. His little brother plays with it now 
Good luck! -------------  Mum to Hayley **30.6.08

My parents gave Jack one for his birthday but it is rimu (I think) so all natural i.e. no paint. They got it from a place in Warkworth and had it sent down. Not sure of the name of the place but can find out if you want. They may have paint blocks and trolleys as well. ------------- Lindsey

We got ours from Toy World (well MIL) did for Andrew 4 years ago now. And it is non toxic. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
