Busy-Baby Ride-a-Bike (aka Bikey, non-battery operated version)
"Bikey" (I believe the actual name was "Busy-Baby Ride-a-Bike" but the doll is stamped "Bikey) is a Deluxe Reading/Topper doll (also Pedigree). There is nothing wrong with the doll; I include her here because she is an enigma. She was apparently intended to be a tricycle riding doll yet no information can be found on a vehicle for the doll. I wonder if there was a patent battle with another doll company, like Mattel that was producing Tippee-Toes. What is even stranger, is that there were apparently two versions of the doll. One version has no batteries and would appear to have just tracked the pedal rotations of a battery powered tricycle. The other version has batteries and may also have ridden the tricycle.
