CHICAGO (WLS) -- Originally created by a major toy company in the 1960s, The Crawligator became a popular crawling toy for infants, helping to naturally develop mobility, gross motor skills and muscle strength.
It encourages bilateral coordination as the child's arms and legs make reciprocal movements, or a crawling motion.

However after the company was purchased by a large conglomerate, The Crawligator was no longer produced. Its "extinction" lasted for 40 years.
Until Chicago entrepreneur Stacey Kohler redesigned The Crawligator to meet today's federal safety standards.
