Ordinary pull and push toys have round wheels that allow the toys to move stably forward in a straight line.

Mr. Wobble has oval wheels that have their longest radius at 90 degrees with each other, making the body wobble as the toy is being pulled forward.

To ensure stability, a foam-core model was prototyped to test out the best thickness of the body for stability.
