The InStep Fire Truck Pedal Car

Tina — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:30:16 +0000

The InStep Fire Truck Pedal Car is a very popular ride on toy for young children. For some unknown reason kids get very inspired and excited about fire trucks and rescue vehicles. Is that because of the size of the vehicle, the bright colors, or the screaming sirens?

Perhaps with the fire truck it’s the huge water hose or the image of a firefighter sliding down the pole to their waiting truck. Or maybe it’s just the fact that firefighters are heroes and they help and rescue people in need on a daily basis.

I know that as a child I loved to see the fire trucks in holiday parades. They were such a spectacular sight to see and I remember being jealous of all the kids that got to ride in them and throw candy to those of us hovering on the sidewalks. I used to just wait to hear them blow the horn or ring the siren.

If your child loves fire trucks or fantasizes about growing up and becoming a fire fighter then the InStep Fire Truck Pedal Car will be a very exciting and fun toy for them to have. Not only will they be able to get those imaginations churning about their next rescue mission but they’ll also be getting some great exercise in the process. These are some of the things I love best about this great ride:

This car is so nostalgic looking with its classic red design and wooden ladders. It has very stylish chrome ladder holders, a chrome steering wheel, and a shiny chrome retro bell with a string attached. Your kids will love their Engine No. 7 with its Metro decals that comes complete with its own little Dalmatian.

This classy fire engine has a durable solid frame that will be dependable for years to come. The adjustable pedal drive is great and lets your kids grow with the car. The tires are made from real rubber and have shiny chrome hubcaps. The steering column is functional and the steering wheel itself is very easy to turn.

With the Instep Fire Truck Pedal Car, your kids will have hours of fun entertaining themselves or putting out fires with their friends. They’ll be tooling around the neighborhood for hours at a time, ringing their bell as they go!

The Original Kids Big Wheel

Remember back to the good old days when everyone’s favorite ride on toy was the Kids Big Wheel? I’ll never forget all that anticipation of waiting for my legs to get long enough to reach the pedals so I could ride with all the “big” kids. We used to spend hours of our day roaming around the streets and sidewalks.

The original kids Big Wheel became a member of the prestigious National Toy Hall of Fame (at Strong National Museum) in November 2009. What an honor for this age old goodie that let us skid all over while making wild moves at incredibly high speeds. This was all done without tipping over. We drove like race car drivers because the darn things handled so well!

The story of the design of the kids Big Wheel is very interesting. Ray Lohr (who was the head designer for Louis Marx & Co.) took apart an everyday tricycle, mixed up the parts, and created what looked like an upside down tricycle. What he created was a very fast vehicle that sat low to the ground and gave thrills at what felt like g-force speeds.

The kids Big Wheel is now being produced in its original form. It’s still got that big 16” front wheel and adjustable seat. There are still no hand brakes or fancy electronic buttons to play with, just plain old sturdy handlebars and pedals. The only goal with the Big Wheel is to gain speed so you can perform more tricks and spins.

The Big Wheel does a very good job of giving children a sense of independence. They learn independent play when they’re by themselves and learn how to better interact with others when playing in groups. Imaginations run rampant when you ride the Big Wheel. There are many, many types of games that can be initiated by a group. And there’s always the edge of competition that comes into play when they all compete to see who can perform the best trick or longest skid.

Let’s not forget that the kids Big Wheel will also increase both fine and gross motor skills. You’ll see increased hand to eye coordination, better balance, stronger core strength, and lots of healthy physical exercise.

There are many types of ride on toys out there that are very similar to the kids Big Wheel but there’s nothing like the original for that high speed thrill! Check out this oldie but goodie! I don’t know about you but this video brings back memories!

The Disney Princess Girls Bike Is The Prettiest 16″ Ride For Girls

Tina — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:21:59 +0000

Do you have a girl in the house who loves and adores the Disney Princesses? Can they recite some of the lines of their favorite Disney Princess movie? If so then your little girl will love the Disney Princess Girls Bike. This ride comes with all the bells and whistles that a Princess lover will just fall in love with.

Whether your little one loves Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, or any of the others, they’ll go crazy over the looks of this bike. When you combine the pink and purple colors, the handlebar streamers, the princess decals, and the tastefully decorated steel frame, you’ve got one ride that little girls cannot resist.

Not only is the Disney Princess Girls Bike great to look at, but it’s got some great safety features that parents will love:

This 16″ bike has knobby wheels that are perfect for beginner riders. These wheels grab terrain surfaces better so your little rider won’t slip or spin out, a great safety measure for small riders.

The Princess bike has only one speed so your rider can only travel as fast as their little legs can propel them. The removable training wheels are perfect for little ones who are just learning how to ride. Once they’ve gained the necessary balance and coordination needed to ride the bike, just remove the training wheels and you’ve got a bike that will grow with your child’s abilities.

The handlebars are padded for easier gripping, the padded seat is adjustable so even the smallest child can ride, and the chain has an enclosed guard so pant legs won’t get stuck.

The rear coaster brakes make stopping both easy and safe. Front brakes, if applied too strongly, can cause a child to tumble over the handlebars of the bike. Rear brakes make it much easier for small children to learn how the whole braking process works.

Add all this to the fact that this bike comes with a removable Princess backpack that attaches to the handlebar for easy storage, and you’re sure to have a hit!

The Disney Princess Girls Bike is a wonderful 16″ ride for both princess lovers and beginner riders aged 3 and up. Your little ones will not only be getting a great physical workout, but they’ll also be gaining balance skills, independence, and self confidence. Available at a very reasonable price, you’ll be glad when you bring this ride into your home. And don’t forget about all the princess accessories that go with it!

P.S. A great video about installing and removing the training wheels on your bike.

The Spiderman Bicycle For Spider Loving Boys

Tina — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:50:32 +0000

The Spiderman Bicycle is a great ride on toy for adventurous boys. This is one tough bike that will give those energetic boys a ride for their money. They’ll be sure to get not only a good physical workout but they’ll also get their spider crime fighting senses working full steam.

The Spiderman Bicycle is available in both a 12” and a 16” tire size. Children who are 2 to 5 years old and 26”-34” in height will do well with the 12” bike. Children who are 4 to 8 years old and 34”-42” in height will love the 16” ride.

There are loads of super heroes out there for our kids to admire but Spiderman is one of the most popular. Your kids will love this snazzy bike that will allow them to fight neighborhood crime just like their idol Spidey.

Both of the Spiderman bicycles share similar features that are worth noting:

These BMX style bikes are built with a heavy duty steel frame that can take the rough and tumble play that comes with most little boys. The frame won’t bend if twisted or if the bike hits something (yes, crashes do occur when it comes to boys).

The pneumatic knobby tires don’t wear down and they provide a smooth ride. The rear training wheels are securely fastened and can be removed when your child is confident enough to ride on their own.

The padded seat adds extra comfort to the ride and the chain is fully enclosed as a safety precaution. You won’t have to worry about little feet or pant legs getting caught.

The 12” Spiderman Bicycle comes equipped with coaster brakes. These brakes work when your child pedals backward and they’re easier and safer for the younger children to operate. The 16” Spiderman Bicycle comes with both coaster brakes and hand brakes so the kids who are a little older can use either option.

The Spiderman Bicycle is so cool looking that your kids will never want to get off of them. They’re just covered with cool graphics and decals that make this ride stand out in the crowd. These bikes are fun, they’re inexpensive to buy, and they’re built to last. Let us know how much your kids love their ride what types of adventures they encounter.

P.S. Looks like Jalen’s first two wheeler is the Spiderman Bicycle!

The Classic Red Radio Flyer Scooter

Tina — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:41:04 +0000

Scooters are fun, they’re cool, and they’re relatively easy to ride. I think it’s perfect that kids can learn how to ride a push scooter long before they progress to those electric rides. The very basic, sturdy, and classic looking red Radio Flyer Scooter is a great ride for preschoolers.

Push scooters, or kick scooters, are propelled forward only by the foot and leg power of your children. They can have anywhere from 2 to 4 small wheels, usually made from steel or aluminum, that are made to withstand the tough road surfaces that your kids will be traveling on.

Riding a Radio Flyer Scooter is a great way for your children to increase their coordination skills, balance skills, motor skills, and sensory perception. Learning to ride is an avenue that will help your child become more independent and to explore their surrounding environment at their own speed. While learning to ride their brand new scooter, your child will also be using their imaginations and sharpening their observation skills. Hey, who knew that a simple little scooter could do all that?

I love the Radio Flyer Scooter because it’s just so very retro looking. It’s so typical of all the original Radio Flyer products with its great red and white colors, sturdy make, and awesome red tassels. If you factor in the incredible chrome fenders then your kids have got nothing but a classy ride.

This scooter comes with the well known and sturdy steel construction that Radio Flyer stands for. It has a wider than average platform so kids will be better able to stand on it and to balance. It has steel wheels and real rubber tires for a smoother ride.

This scooter is very unique with its four wheels instead of two. The two training wheels in back can be used with those kids who are just learning to ride. This will give them a little added sense of security as they get used to the whole concept of how to ride a scooter.

The Radio Flyer Scooter, winner of the Dr. Toy’s Best Classic Toy Award, is a great ride for the younger kids. Its classic design will make this an enduring toy that they’ll remember for years to come. And it’s more than sturdy enough for you to climb on if the kids are having trouble learning how to ride it! Come on and show them how to do it!

Do you have muddy, grassy, or hilly conditions to tackle? Are you tired of ride on toys that slip and slide on these types surfaces? A Power Wheels tractor makes a great ride no matter where you live but they’re especially great for those of you who live on farms or have a fair amount of acreage for the kids to travel on.

John Deere Tractors have been around since 1776. Kids love these green machines and they’ve certainly got an incredible reputation of being tough and able to go anywhere. My nephews live on a farm and I’ll never forget how they used to be able to recite the different John Deere models and engine specs when they were as young as 5. They love their John Deere’s even to this day.

A Power Wheels Tractor is the perfect toy for your preschool and younger school aged children. Not only will they have a tough and rugged vehicle that will get them anywhere they want to go, but they’ll have a vehicle that will be teaching them some important things and this is something that is very important to all parents. Of course we want the kids to have fun but we also want them to be developing and learning from their toys.

Your children will learn to be more independent and self-confident when they’re out on their very own tractor. They will also be increasing their coordination as they learn to steer, work the two gears, and manage the gas pedal and brake. Cognitive development also gets stimulated with ride on tractors because you can be sure that their little imaginations are working full blast as they plan their next trip and adventure.

One of the most durable Power Wheels Tractor is made by Peg Perego, a very reputable ride on toy manufacturer. This John Deere turf tractor is designed to keep your kids buy for hours at a time. They can pretend to mow the grass, head out to cut the hay, or do some much needed yard work by picking up any garbage and putting it in their wagon.

The turf tractor comes complete with both tractor and trailer. This 12v battery operated ride drives in two speeds, 2.25mph and 4.5mph. If you child is just learning how to drive then all you need to do is engage the high speed lockout until they’re comfortable steering and operating the gas and brake.

The seat is adjustable so your child can grow with this toy for years to come. The accelerator and the brake are on the same pedal. The two rear driving wheels have their own independent motors. This is what gives this ride the extra ability to handle hills and wet surfaces.

The John Deere Turf Tractor is just one of the fun and exciting Power Wheels Tractor for your child. Look out as they tackle any surface condition, fill up their trailers with just about anything, and enjoy the great outdoors in their very authentic looking John Deere. And if you want the kids to really play the part then you dress them in a great pair of overalls and a plaid shirt as they head out the door for a little bit of fun. Now, that’s not necessary of course but it could be a little fun for all you moms and dads.

P.S. This is Paige’s very first time driving her John Deere Turf Tractor and wagon. She’s a little unsure of the acceleration but I think she did just great. Check out how well the tractor handled the sloppy conditions.

The Schwinn Roadster Tricycle Has A Low Center Of Gravity For Added Safety

Tina — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 08:17:48 +0000

The Schwinn Roadster Tricycle is an incredible 12″ retro looking ride that is unlike many of the other trikes that you normally see. This trike is most well known for having a low center of gravity that prevents the tip overs that many trikes are famous for and makes it easier for your little ones to safely get off and on.

This trike is not as low to the ground as a Big Wheel and it’s not as high as a standard trike. It’s right in the middle and provides a wonderful first time ride for children aged 18 months and older. It’s also great to look at with its cool retro scalloped fenders, the custom curvy handlebars that give it a low-rider feel, fun streamers that all kids adore, and a neat chrome bell to complete the look.

The Schwinn Roadster Tricycle is made with a full heavy duty steel construction to last for years to come. This will make this ride a little bit heavier to move around than the plastic trikes but steel has its benefits. It will last longer, it won’t tip as easily, it won’t fade in the sunlight, and it will take a beating from the toughest of kids.

The Schwinn comes with a 12″ front tire and 8″ rear tires. This is generally a very good height and leg length for younger children. There’s nothing more frustrating for a child than loving their new trike and not being able to pedal the darn thing because they can’t reach the pedal!

The tires are air-filled in this durable ride to ensure more comfort in off road driving. When your kids hit the gravel or grassy areas they’ll be able to control their trike with ease. They won’t miss a beat when their terrain changes.

The Schwinn Roadster Tricycle has a bucket seat with an opening in the back to make it easier to carry. The adjustable saddle position seat makes this ride even more comfortable and gives extra assurance that your child will be able to reach those pedals. The seat is adjusted with twist knobs so no tools are needed.

The rear wooden deck has the Schwinn logo engraved into it and is there to provide an extra step up for the smallest of children. You’ll even see the adventurous kids riding from the deck when you’re not looking!

The Schwinn Roadster Tricycle is made by Pacific Cycle, a producer of some of the top quality bikes in the country. This tricycle is well made, durable, and incredibly good looking to boot. Your kids will increase motor skills, gain independence, and beef up their balance and coordination. And to top it off, they’ll be getting some great physical exercise in the summer months. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know how much your kids love their Schwinn tricycle!

P.S. You’ve got several colors to choose from when shopping for your new Schwinn Roadster Tricycle!
