Westminster Chi-Chi Chihuahua (Ages 3+)
$13.98 at the time of publication.
If you’re looking for a robot dog toy with few features but is still fun, cute, and, importantly, affordable, the Chi-Chi Chihuahua from Westminster toys is a good choice. The cute Chi-Chi walks, Nods its head, Wags its tail, and playfully pounces. It also makes a cute (at first) squeaking noise that might get old after a time. This is one of the toys that is fun for younger kids but less interactive. You essentially throw some AA batteries into it and watch it go.
