Types of riding toys in this collection
Rocking horses and animal rockers
Rocking horses are the largest group in this range. Plush rockers for 18 to 36 months come with sounds and a seat belt. A plush rocking horse sits on wooden rockers or a wheeled base. A 5-in-1 model adds a balance board and a push handle for ages 1 to 6. Some electric horses and unicorns run on 6V or 12V batteries.
Ride-on diggers, tractors and dump trucks
A ride on excavator and a ride on tractor suit pretend building sites. A pedal tractor and a ride on dump truck do too. Most list ages 3 and up. Many have a digging bucket or trailer, a horn and under-seat storage. A few run on 12V batteries with remote control.
Push cars for toddlers
A ride on push car lets a toddler sit low and push along with their feet. Many are foot-to-floor designs with a horn, steering wheel and under-seat storage. Some add an anti-tip device or a removable parent push handle. Listed ages run from 18 to 36 months.
Toddler tricycles
A toddler tricycle with a parent push handle grows with your child. Many are 5, 6 or 7-in-1 designs with a canopy, storage basket, brake and safety harness. Listed ages run from 12 months to 5 years. See kids bikes, trikes and scooters for more.
Pedal go karts
A pedal go kart suits older kids who want a sportier ride. Models list an adjustable seat, handbrake and rubber or EVA tyres. Some pedal forward and backward with shock absorption. Listed ages run from 3 to 8 years.
Check the age, height and weight range on each product page.
How do you choose a riding toy?
Match the age and size
Start with the listed age range, then check height and weight limits. Your child should sit securely and reach the floor or pedals. Ages here run from 12 months to 8 years.
Think about where it will be used
Push cars and plush rockers suit smooth indoor floors. Pedal go karts and diggers suit flat outdoor paths and lawns. Clear a play area of about 2 m (6.5 ft) around the ride.
Pick the power type
Push, foot and pedal rides need no charging. Battery models use 6V or 12V packs. Some add a remote control, so an adult can steer or stop the ride.
Look for safety features
A seat belt, 5-point harness, handbrake or anti-tip device adds protection. A fitted helmet is a good idea for pedal go karts and any outdoor riding.
Where do riding toys work best?
Playrooms and living rooms suit push cars and rocking horses on smooth floors. A plush rocker needs about 1 m (3 ft) of clear space to rock safely. Daycares and grandparents' homes use them for short bursts of active play. Browse baby and toddler toys for more first rides.
Backyards and driveways suit pedal go karts, diggers and tricycles on flat, firm ground. Keep play away from roads, pools and steep slopes. Adults should supervise every outdoor ride. A flat lawn or paved driveway gives the smoothest roll and the fewest tips.
Families who want more outdoor gear can browse kids outdoor play. Swings, slides and playsets sit alongside the rides there. Pair a ride with a helmet, and set clear rules about where your child may go.
How do you care for these rides?
Wipe plastic and plush parts with a damp cloth and let them dry. Keep plush and battery toys away from rain, sprinklers and puddles. Check wheels, pedals and bolts every few weeks and tighten any that loosen. An adult should charge batteries as the manual says. Store rides indoors.
