Aldi Little Town Hoppers Are Dupes of Rody Ride-On Toys
This post is an open thread and contains affiliate links.
If you have kids or grandkids, you might be familiar with Rody, the inflatable bouncy horse toy that children can ride on. A name-brand Rody can be pricey, with some of them on Amazon going for around $60. Years ago, I remember a friend of mine getting excited because she found a Rody for a bargain price at a garage sale.
If you don’t want to shell out the money for a name-brand Rody and can’t find any on the secondhand market, you do have another option. For a limited time, Aldi is selling knockoff Rody bouncing toys for less than a third of the price of the name brand.
What We Know:
Bee Happy Hoppers are Aldi Finds, so they’re only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone unless Aldi decides to bring them back later. Aldi does not offer online ordering if these are sold out at your local store.
These are scheduled to arrive in stores on May 28th, 2025.
These cost $12.99 in 2025. That’s the same price Aldi sold them for in April of 2024. As mentioned above, that’s a lot less than what a name-brand Rody sells for.
The Aldi hoppers come in four different varieties in 2025: a corgi dog, a llama, a giraffe, or a dinosaur.
Here’s more information, according to Aldi:
- Encourages physical activity
- Improves balance and coordination
- Perfect for indoor or outdoor use
- Combines fitness and fun
- Weight limit: 220 lbs.
These are sold under the Little Town brand in 2025. In 2024, they were sold under the Bee Happy brand. There aren’t any companies by those names. Instead, those are private labels Aldi uses for toys it sources from various suppliers.
What We Don’t Know:
We haven’t tried these, so we don’t know how well they work or how durable they are. Also, Aldi has not yet published information about the measurements for these ride-on toys. We write open threads so readers can discuss Aldi products.
