FAQs
What age is the Crawligator best for?
It’s recommended for babies between 4 and 12 months old.
How does the Crawligator help my baby learn to crawl?
By using their arms and legs in reciprocal motion while on their tummy, babies begin to mimic the natural crawling movement. The Crawligator supports these motions in a safe, ergonomic position that builds strength and coordination.
Can the Crawligator help with my baby’s muscle development?
Yes. It allows babies to use their own body weight to build strength in their core, neck, and shoulders—key muscle groups for crawling and sitting up.
What is the size of the Crawligator?
The Crawligator measures 24 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 5 inches high—perfectly sized to support infants during tummy time play.
Is the Crawligator safe for my baby’s fingers?
Yes. The Crawligator’s body design creates a floor barrier that prevents tiny fingers or toes from slipping under the wheels.
What surfaces work best for the Crawligator?
It glides best on smooth, hard floors. While it can be used on carpet for tummy time benefits, it won’t roll as easily due to its safety features.
Do I need to assemble it?
Nope! It arrives fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box.
Does it require batteries?
No batteries needed—the Crawligator is entirely baby-powered.

Our Story
The Crawligator Story
After the birth of her first grandchild, Stacey Kohler was on the hunt for a Crawligator to give as a gift. Originally created by a major toy company, the Crawligator was a popular crawling toy for infants, helping develop mobility, gross motor skills and muscle strength in the late 1960s.
Much to her surprise nobody knew what she was talking about. With the exception of a few originals on eBay, a Crawligator could not be found anywhere. Where did it go? Could the Crawligator possibly be extinct?
Her expedition began in learning what happened to the Crawligator and soon discovered that it no longer existed. She thought, “I need to bring the Crawligator back from extinction".
As she continued to dig deeper, Stacey found powerful research supporting the importance of tummy time and floor time for crawling and development. She knew that busy parents needed the Crawligator more today and that it every newborn to infant could benefit, especially those children with special needs.
In 2016, Stacey found an original Crawligator, made some design improvements, for added safety, and began to bring it back to the market. The new Crawligator is specifically designed to meet today's Child Safety Standards.
