Saddle n' ride Barbie can mount and ride on a horse with a push of a button.

She's been an astronaut, an Olympic gymnast, and an ambassador for world peace.

Barbie's done it all but one thing she can't do is move on her own, until now. 

All this week, The Morning Edition is looking at some of the toys hand-picked by a panel at ParentsCanada.

The magazine's editor Janice Biehn stopped by to show host Sheila Coles a Barbie that's going places.
