Baby's on the move: Vroom vroom!

Baby is on a quest to get to the other side of the room (aka very far away) all on their own. While the floor may not be so interesting to parents and big siblings, for Baby, it is an entire world full of fascinating things to explore. Seen from their perspective, a fluffy rug becomes tickly grass, a sibling doing yoga turns into a bridge, and a table and chairs transform into a dense forest.

But with so many obstacles, will Baby make it to the finish line?
